MEDFORD atAni TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 20, 19.10. Virginia of the Air Lanes A ROMANCE OF FLYING B jf Herbert Quick Ceftntght 1909. by tk Bobbt Merrill Company SYNOPSIS. " CHAPTER I Theodore Carson, inyentor of an airship, rescues from fugitive flying machine called a helicopter, a beautiful young girl. II and III Carson is infatuated by her and takes her whero she can communicate "with her friends. IV Carson visits tho Roc, a Riant irship owned by Shayno, uncle of Virginia Suarez, tho girl ho rescued, nad, being coldly received, leaps from tho Roc, at a great height, in a parachute. S CHAPTER V. TBX rAXJ. THAT roxxoYD rniDK. UDDEXLY Theodore burst from the floor of the cloud like a meteorite and saw a long pro cession of white and violet Mgbts speeding past and away into the ttslancc. the arc lights of a town set Into apparent flight by the speed of bis keadlong career before the wind. Par ff In the glare of a locomotive fire box he could sco a devilish black flre saan. weirdly stoking. The town fled away. The roar of the "Wind rose- about him. He was whip ped stlngingly by tbe branches of a tall tree; then a lower one bowed him through Its dense top. He laid bold C a slim birch, and. as it bent like a Inning rod under bis weight, he let go the sheets of his parachute, the wind pilled from tho silken leach, and he tumbled heavily into a mattresa-llke fcridnl wreath bush, over an asphalted "Walk. and. eased down by the shrub Wry, be rose unhurt, so far as bo ceald feel, to find himself by a rustic eat near a dry fountain. On bis left he could make out a long building three or four stories high. A high wall running back from each ad of this structure seemed to him to bound the garden, for a garden be aessed It to be. Back in seme crepus ccUr jungle he heard tbe throaty bel low of a great dog. Following tbe wall, he fonnd It In tegral with that of the house. It was Mank and high and Insurmountable. He reconnoltered tbe rear wall to a brick barn Into which it was built. He returned to tbe long bouse and stole across to one side, where he found a door through tbe wall, tight hut and Impregnable. Calling up bis scattered courage, be went with some steadiness up to a leng veranda. A shrill whistle sound ing from the top of tbe porch Instantly commanded his attention. Theodore Haw n man bn the roof just In tbe act ef swinging himself down over the cave. "Get under here, old sport." said tbe Telce. "and give a liberty loving class mate a leg down." Theodore reached up and steadied a somewhat bony leg and was about to Jet bis burden down when tbe liberty loving one collapsed In all his mem bers and came down by tbe run. Carson started forward to raise tbe demoralized fugitive to his feet. But be wus already up and seemed to be bowing and kissing his hand to an imaginary audience. My celebrated Avernus act," said be. "Special gravitation expert to the crowned beads! But, hist! Let me greet thee! An ye be noble, salute my check; an ye be slob, receive my contemptuous thanks! Hey, old sport?" Carson stood mute, aloue with a pos sible lunatic and a very probable dog la a walled garden Into which he had dropped from the night sky. "From your caput cometh a rattle like a muted Castanet," went on the Strange personage, "and anon like a "battery of telegraph sounders. Stay! ,1a it possible that it emanates from 'the clattering of your teeth? Caitiff, you are scalrt or In an ague that would reduce a foundry rattler to matchwood! Art cold, fair youth?' "A little," replied Carson. "1 am lightly dressed." Then come, come away, tra-la-la, with me, to a realm of balmy air and breezes of Ceylon. To heel, and If thy heavy hoof but scrape tho grave) to betray our flight thou dlest, and all thy wad Is gobbled by the privy coffer of the emporium. To heel!" With a swift darting movement the stranger turned and. followed obedi ently by Carson, went across to a building which Tbeoddre guessed to lie a greenhouse. His guldo opened the door and stood back with elaborate courtesy that Carson might precede him. Entering, Theodore found him self among beds of flowers which tiled the houso. "It Is too dark," said his guide, re joining him, "to mako tho exchange of curds more than an empty and Invisible formality. Yet I would fain know more of you than the bright and nappy technique of your tooth chat tering." "1 don't understand." answered Car on, "I came hero by accident." "Quito sp." Interposed his lntorlocu tor. ''Let's alt down by tho American Beauty bed there. If wo might strike In a state, to coin a word, of orey eyed wooilness. 1 mny say that I enmo my self by accident and without tuennlnn to do so or otherwise. I must havo a smoke!" Then came tho scratch ot tho match, and Theodora scrutinized the face by the tlnre of tho match as with nervous, unsteady movements tho stranger lighted the weed. no was n medium sized person, with deep set eyes flickering from their env cms with a blurred sharpness. His faco wns sallow and colorless, with hollows In the checks. Ills nose wns Irregularly notched In profile, Uko tho stub of something else broken off hln face. "My name Is Carson." said Theo dore, "and 1 nm from tho south, from Alabama. P- "Cralghcad Is mine." rejoined the other. "I nm from here and elsewhere. There are twenty places where I might vote were there any question under the un worth voting on. I think 1 may Tenturo to give you, sir. ns my perma nent residence, until further notice only, tbe Hat Mort. Paris." "I" began Carson. "Tho Rat Mort." Interposed Craig head. "One deep midnight in the dear, dread past beyond recall I was ejected from the Rat Mort because my conduct was not up to the thcrctoforo undls- nHHLHsl I c? jflTnnwsW9Einnnwsnnnn1 (KrT-Ssyis?

Doth It not open glimpses of a depravity hitherto fabu lous? And when I have been graduated from this emporium I shall return, pride In my port meaning nothing vinous defiance in mine eyes, and I ball sit down In the Rat Mort and be have myself for long, long periods of time, for ages. Carson grew somnolent- Mr. Craig head sat upright, making occasional elocutionary gestures with bis cigar hand. Morning came. Two or three men came past the greenhouse, went round it and walked away again, as if mak ing some sort of search. They came back after a time and entered. One was a tall, athletic, ruddy complexion ed. youngish man, who seemed to be the leader of the trio. They gazed at tbe sleeping Carson and Craighead as If taking stock dispassionately of re turned es trays In the form of dogs or horses. (To Be Continued.) Dandruff Easily Cured. In fact Charles Strang, the drug gist, has a certain hair restorer call ed Parisian Sage, which costs only 50 cents a large bottle, that is guar anteed to cure dandruff in two weeks or money back. Parisian Sage is the discovery of an eminent student, scientist and specialist, and is made in this coun try only by tho Giroux Mfg. Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Parisian Sage is a most pleasant, daintily perfumed hair dressing, and besides curing dandruff, your drug gist will return your money if it fails to stop falling hair or itching of tho scalp. It will make hair grow, and women who deBiro soft, beautiful and lux uriant hair can have it in two weeks by using this famous, quick-acting preparation. It is not sticky or irrcasv.

GOOD TIME IS MADE TO AND FROM CRATER LAKE nMBssBBsBscarri A week ago Sundny morning P. L. Camps, with his five-passenger Ford, 25-horsepower touring car, left Ash land for the Klamath region, says tho Tidings, having as passengers J. 0. Iloyt, president, and two other offi cials of the Wnrren Construction company. They went by way of Green Spring mountain, over tho roughest road, so Camps says, that he ever laid his eyes on, yet never theless they arrived iu Klamath Falls in seven hours. Thoy afterwards visited Fort Klamath and Crater Lake, going clonr to the rim of tho lake with the motor, taking tho trip more leisurely. They left the lake at 10 a. m. last Thursday, stopping two hours in Sams Valley to inspect n ranch of 270 acres which the Wnrren Construction company owns in that vicinity, and reached Ashland the same day at 8:30 p. m., without de lay or hitch of any kind, returning by way of Medford. Considering that it was a hard road to travel, the ex cursionists think that they mado a pretty good record, the speedometer recording 350 miles. Haskins for health.
