SYNOPSIS.
CHAPTER I Theodore Carson,
inventor of an airship, rescued from
fugitive flying machine called a
kclicoptor, a beautiful young girl.
II and III Carson is infatuated
by her and takes her where sho cau
communicate with her friends.
IV Carson visits tho Roc, n giant
airship owned by Shayne, uncle of
Virginia Suarez, the girl ho rescued,
and, being coldly received, leaps
from tho Roc, at a great height, in u
parachute.
Tliat parachute," said Max. "could
sot save two from death, even If they
made a good drop. And In this dark
ness" Virginia, having recovered her self
possession and the control of her
knees, rose and, entering her cabin,
threw herself on her bed. She felt a
fcorror of Sllberberg, a sense of disgust
with the Shnyncs. To think that they
could so insult this young man who
bad saved her life and treated her so
beautifully, no matter what ho was
te offer him money, to send him aft
like a servantl No wonder he had
struck SUberberg's odious nose. Later
, ibe rose, preened like a bird before the
alrror and sat down to think. The
voices of ber uncle and aunt and Mr.
Silberberg came to ber ears from the
maln'salon. Opening her window for
air, she noted that the roar of the wind
from the earth had ceased and knew
that they bad reached tho calm area,
of which Wlllctt had spoken, in the
middle of the "low." They would
probably have an easy landing In Chi
cago. And then?
One thing was certain she would
aot live longer with the Shaynes. They
were too sordid, too bard, too cruoL
And she would not stay with them
any longer!
Ob. if she only had just one relative
la the world save Aunt Marie!
Stayl The thought struck her of her
mother's father's people, somewhere in
the south. Her mother had been dis
owned by her family for a perversely
contracted marriage, but they were
southerners, and they would not see
an orphan girl of their kin go home
less. She would leave Aunt Marie a
note of thanks for all her many kind
nesses, take her really, truly own be
longings and fly south. So there!
So resolving, she became quite calm
and walked into the main xalon in a
Tery matter of fact way. Aunt Marie
Save a shrill scream and fainted. Sil
berberg said that be would be tor
mented. Mr. Shayne stared blankly.
"Well," said Virginia, "do you think
X am n ghost?"
"Oh. child." gasped Aunt Marie.
"where have you been with him?"
Virginia stood still, her eyes ablaze,
ber cheeks burning. The Hoc was
coming Into the Chicago garage on
the roof of the Aerostatic Power build
lng in a most beautiful landing, but
aone of the party knew it. Sllberbers
was gazing at the enraged Virginia In
unbounded admiration. Her splendid
anger bad won him back. Shayne
spoke in foolish agreement with his
wife, half believing for the moment
that there was something questionable
in Virginia's absence.
"With a beggar!" said he.
"A bandit," said Aunt Marie, "an
assassin!"
"A beggar!" repeated Virginia In
lofty scorn. "Why, oven if ho were
one, In raga and a hovel, he'd be worth
a million like you! An ussusslu, a
bandit! And, if he is, what are you?
You rob by syndicate, assassinate by
.general managers and superintendent
and mnko beggars by votes of shares!
2 loathe you, and 1 1 I admire him
as much as I toatne you. As between
bandits like you and bandits like him
give me the brave man rather than
the cowurd!"
Wlllett Interrupted the scene by an
nounclng their successful lauding
They passed constrainedly Into the
tower and went down to the street and
to Shayne's Chicago hotel In n motor
car, all in silence.
In tho mornJng a letter was taken
to tho Shayne apartmeuts. It was
short, tear stnlned missive of grntl
tude, penitence and furewell from Vlr
gluln to ber aunt. It ran:
Tou hove been as Iclmi to me a any
woman can be to a person she cannot

Marie, and you will never sco me fiualn

Craighead and Carson walked tliroug'i
a stutely peristyle to a low Ijulhlin
called tho laboratory, but termed b
tho patients the "shot tower." Then

clock struck. There was a Jostling at
tho rear caused by late comers, at
which the serious young doctors
frowned fiercely. The lines moved for
ward, and the men as they passed the
physicians seemed to undergo some
sort of operation performed by means
of glittering Instruments, of which
Theodore caught glimpses like light,
nlng playing about those slltted shirt
sleeves.
Theodore found himself In the hu
man current and drifted with It On
closer view he saw that the doctors
pricked the patients with little glitter
ing weapons, but he reasoned that It
could bo nothing very severe.
Craighead passed on. and Carson
took his place. The doctor looked
searchlngly in his face, seemed puz
zled and reached to another region of
the tray for a syringe.
"Tou should have rolled up your
sleeve or cut it." said he sternly. "Roll
It up."
Theodore rolled up bis sleeve, where
upon with an expertness quite star
tling the man of medicine pinched np
a bit of the brown flesh, shoved In the
needle, pressed down the piston, and
Theodore wns "shot" With a stinging
In his arm and wondering as to the
why of It all, though he knew by this
time that be had dropped out of the
night sky Into full membership In a
drink cure establishment, be passed on.
Dr. Withcrspoon met each patient
with a standardized smile, clasped
each hand with a grip of absolute uni
formity and said, "Good morning, Mr.
Bascom," or whatever the name might
be. "And how Is the appetite this
morning? And the tongue, please.
Pulse regular, I observe. Have you
had your constitutional this morning?
Improving nicely, Mr. Bascom. Good
morning."
They returned to Theodore's room.
Soon entered Mr. O'Grady, Mr. Evans
and a slender person of about Carson's
size, who at once began the coursing
of Imaginary game on the wall paper,
slapping his thigh and laughing at
every failure.
"This," said Mr. O'Grady, introduc
ing the indoor huntsman, "is Mr. Wy
lie, Mr. Carson."

CRUDER, Spanish-Franco Frontier
July 2S. Awaiting tho signal for a
general strlko throughout Spain, 7000
well armed, desperate and tuoro or
less disciplined Spanish exiles nro
gathering near hero today prepara
tory to an invasion of their own coim
tiy. Tho general outbrotk and a big
anti-government movement has been
planned by revolutionary lcadors to
tako placo r.t Barcelona. Invaders In
tend to march straight to Barcelona
to join with tho strlkors. Thoro Is
every prospect that tho exiles and
the Barcelona masses will clash with
the troops that nro mobilized In
Spain's industrial capital.
Therel s every prospect of desper
ate fighting in Bascelona and of dis
orders throughout Catalonia. It Is
bellved here that riots already havo
occurred, but tho government cen
sorship Is so strict that littlo naws
comes out of Spr.ln except by cour
ier. Dally tho Spanish officials glvo
out "official denials" of minor af
frays and tVo repetition of theso de
nials adds to the belief that tho sit
uation is moro serious than tho au
thorities will admit.
Senor Claremont, leader of tho ex
iles, estimates that 20,000 men will
re-enter Spain tomorrow. More con
servative estimates are that tho num
ber of exiles will reach 10,000.
Whether Claremont and his aides can
hold their men in tho ranks in tho
face of a formidable showing by King
Alfonso's troop! Is tho question wor
rying the revolutionists. General
opinion Is that tho exiles will stand
the test. Tho main body consists of
Catnlons, and most of tho men ravo
seen service in the king's army.

APPETITE FOR APPLES
MADE MAN WEALTHY
PORTLAND, Or., July 28.
(Special.) An appetite for luscious,
juicy apples made tho fortune of
Professor J. L. Dumas. While
teaching in Honolulu he frequently
tried to get tho kind of apples he
had been accustomed to in the north
west, but without success. The only
npples ho could get were small,
shrivelled and tasteless. They sold
for about 5 cents each, though, and
that led to the thought that not
enough apples were grown to supply
the demand.
Profes&or Dumas acted on his
idea. He returned to the northwest
nnd purchased 1-10 acres near Day
ton, Wash., for $3000, which repre
sented his savings for 20 years of
school teaching. Professor Dumas
has just sold his original orchard
and 100 acres more he added to it,
for $150,000. Besides, he has taken
$12o,000 off tho property in apple
crops sinco he bought it. Many a
mini lias eoncumed his fortune in
gratifying an appetite; few can suy
thoy made one by doing the same
thing.
