SYNOPSIS.
CHAPTER I Theodore Carson,
inventor of an airship, rescues from
a fugitive flyinR maohino called a
helicopter, a beautiful younR girl.
II 'and III Carson is infatuated
by her and takes her whero sho can
communicate "with her friends.
UUAt-XtJK IV.
A LEAP I.TTO SrACE.
MR SHAYNE met Carson wltn
something less than the steely
coldness with which he was
wont to freeze the vitals of
the man representing an undeveloped
business opportunity.
"I am tinder great obligations to you,
Mr. Theodore," said he. "for your serv
ice U my niece. To be entirely frank.
I bould not hare appropriated the
time to call on any business account"
Mr. Carson felt repelled. He traced
the "Mr. Theodore" to Captain Har
rod's mode of referring to him.
"I am sorry," said he, "that you have
gene even an Inch out of your way on
account of any fancied obligations. 1
prefer the basis of business."
"By Jove." said a voice at his elbow,
"you ought to be able to meet him on
that basis. Shayne."
Carson's ear was affronted, his
erres tautened by the voice. Shayne
waved the man away.
"But," went on SUberberg, "it seems
to me, old chap, we'd vastly better put
- toe whole thing on a basis of break
fast first. Send this good man aft and
left fall to."
vxrson wneeica ronna ana stared
SUberberg in the face curiously, with
the Impersonal disfavor of one study
teg the picture of some noxious thing,
like a Gila monster or a feast of vul
ture. 'Thank you." said Theodore. "I
have breakfasted, and In gotfd com-
Vsy"
"By glory, my man," shouted Sllber
feerg, "If you say another word"
Carson turned upon him. and Sllber
Berg sank Into a seat Carson walked
hack to the engine room, saying that
he would look the craft over and see
Mr. Shayne after breakfast
SUberberg conceived himself vastly
insulted by this fellow they bad picked
up aad gave his host rather a bad half
hour.
"We owe it to blm to allow htm to be
a little nasty," said Shayne. "Think
what be did for Virginia, yon know.
SUberberg."
"By Jove." cried SUberberg. "I would
rather she had er that Is. 1 would
aot allow any service even to her to
atone for such an Insult I don't al
low any one to He must leave the
&oc Shayne, or I will."
"But his machine may be worth
whUe," urged Shayne, using what ho
Judged would be a valid argument
with his guest "An idea Is an Idea,
Max, and this art of flying needs Im
provement" "No Idea," Insisted Max, "is worth
that much. Suit yourself, Mr. Shayne.
hut as for me"
SUberberg waved his hand, closing
the debate. As they rose they detect
ed Wiener standing behind them, bat
hi hand, as if awaiting a word with
them, or eavesdropping, as the case
Bight have been.
"Well," said Shayne rather angrily.
"I Just wanted to say." replied WIz
aer, "that I know what this young
fellow's proposition is. And If you
don't find blm reasonable to deal with
come to me. I've seen his model. It
ain't protected, of course, and I can
build one like it in a few weeks with
Money enough. I'll learn him to butt
la aaa take a easterner from mel"
"Whn inventors fall out" began
Elmyna
"Monopolists get their books in,"
supplied SUberberg. "Let's take the
fool north and see what he's got"
"Most sensible thing you've said," re
plied Shayne.
Carson waited In glum silence until
the second descent of tho lift, refus
ing to occupy it along with SUberberg.
Bhayne urged him to stay aboard for
the night trip to Chicago.
"The weather north," said Shayne.
"la the mildest known for March. We
can discuss your project Mr. Theo
dore, over our highballs going up.
Come with us."
Very well, said Mr. Theodore, ho
woald go. with many tbanks.
Ho wondered about the niece and
SUberberg. but bo asked no questions
He strode directly to tbe lift and went
aboard tbe Roc. It was late In tbe
afternoon when they took on two la
dies-Psycho and Mrs. Shayne. The
ladles vanished Into tho cabin with
SUberberg.
"What do you think of tbe weath
er?" asked Shayne of Carson.
"The low bus reached Omaha," re
plied Carson, "and has deepened rap
idly. We ought to get Into stiff south
winds soon. Increasing all tho way."
"Let 'em increase." rejoined Shayne.
"We'll make port quicker. If It should
be northerly weather, now"-
"We'd buve to moor?" queried Car
son. MWarurallv."
i about," snfii Carson, "Is a macfilnc
tnnt COUIII HinKC uiiii'iiku nti'u "
fiercest gale quicker than this flying
palace can do it tonight."
"Oh. yes." lightly replied Shayne.
"I've hml 'cm offered me that would
do It In an hour In tho Inventor's
mind."
The earth was a concave cup with
tho setting sun a flaming wick on ita
rim. To the north was n huge black
accumulation of clouds which seemed
swelling with startling rapidity, but
the wcathcrwlse aviators kuew It to
bo their own headlong flight whlc'
brought the clouds nearer with such
speed, giving them the swift upheaval
which mimicked the approach of a
storm. The silence was absolute save
for the wulllctl exhaust of the engines
and the purr of the driving screw
astern, for tbe Hoc kept pace with the
blast, and the light breeze that swept
her decks was from prow eastwardty
to stern as she edged up into the great
cyclonic whirl and outfooted the wind.
Carson walked aft Looking rather
concerned, the engineer was turning
his ear downward, listening to tho
sullen roar that now droned up from
the ground.
"A deuce of a wind," said ho to Car
ton. "11 car It howl and not a leaf
atlrrlng up here."
"Yes." assented Carson, listening,
"It Is blowing. But what of It?"
"Ob, nothing," replied tho engineer,
looking at the manometer, "only lid
you ever try to bring one of theso gas
bags to in a gale, uot to mention
nursing her Into tho boss' Chicago
garage? Hey?"
"No," answered Carson. "It must
be difficult"
The young man wanted his serious
talk with Shayne. So far they had
spoken nothing but generalities, and
he felt frustrated, held off, played
with as a skillful fencer plays with a
novice. And he had had no talk with
Psyche. This made him Irritable.
Miss Suarex stood by the rail look
Lag off Into the blackness, her hair
heavy with a mist now Just becoming
perceptible. Mrs. Shayne from the
cabin door looked forth at the young
woman with distinct displeasure, for
Virginia had Just said a very naughty
thing to Mr. SUberberg In a golf dis
cussion which had unaccountably
aroused her temper. And up walked
young Carson to make things worse.
Virginia, taking hltmfor SUberberg,
turned on blm a face hot with anger,
stood looking at him a moment
Then all the displeasure faded away,
and something quite Irreconcilable
with It took Its place. Because she
held out both hands and looked so
divine Carson took them and held
them close.
"My robberr sho whispered. "Are
you a stowaway? Are you escap
ing?" (To Be Continued.)

BURTON DISPARAGES
CANDIDACY OF GARFIELD
CLEVELAND, O., July 22. United
States Senator Theodoro E. Burton,
who returned from Beverly, Mass., to
day, disparaged tho candidacy of
James R. Garfield for governor of
Idaho. Ho Intimated the national ad
ministration might regard his nom
ination as a slap.
Judge Klncaldo, who has Just re
turned from New York, where it is
believed ho endeavored to secure the
Indorsement of his candidacy for the
gubernatorial nomination by Theo
doro Roosevelt, will probably not be
a candidate. He will keep out of the
race, bis friends say today, unless
there Is a deadlock. If thero la no
nomination by tho time the third bal
lot 1b reached In tho convontlon, ho
may enter tho race.
Senator Burton refused to deny
that there was an allianco between
his forces and those of Gcorgo B. Cox
of Cincinnati,
