CHAPTER I Theodore Carson, inventor of an airship, rescues from fugitive flyinR machine called a kclicopter, a beautiful young girl. II and III Carson is iufatunted by her and takes her where she enn communicate "with her friends. IV Carson visits the Roc, a giant airship owned bj Shayne, uncle of Tirginia Suarcz, the girl he rescued, aad, being coldly received, leaps from the Roc, at a great height, in a parachute. V. VI and VII Ho lands in the grounds of the Slnttery Institute for Inebriates, where he makes a friend of one Craighead, who plans to raise capital to manufacture the new style airship Carson has invented.

IX Carson goes to Florida to complete a sample airship to exhibit to Mr. Waddy, and he finds Virginia there. , lamp, saw the still sealed letter from Captain Hnrrod and slushed It open as 1C It had been tho breast of his mortal foe.

Theodore stmck himself on tho breast and started to his feet deter mined to flee to his work and from ftliwl CHAPTER X. the nrniEAT or theodohe. THE first day Theodore sent or ders for the shipment of the engines and began to provide better equipment for the bouse. He brought as a companion lor Miss Suarez an elderly widow. Mrs. Stott, who was addicted to the writing of poems of a lovelorn nature. Virginia's opinion of her new uncle's worldly wisdom rose at this provision lor chaperonage. But she gave him too much credit. He merely thought f Virginia's becoming lonely. He could not depart until sure that Miss Virginia" would not feel slighted should he push on. Craighead's telegrams came In from the cast, still Delphic In significance. One reported that New York was prac tically "surrounded," another that tho country would soon bo "gridlroned." Theodore was deaf to voices from the enter world. A letter from narrod. proving that the news of his return had reached the cabin in the dunes. lay on the old escritoire one morning. Theodore inserted a paper knife in tho envelope, half cut It open and saw Virginia's dress glimmering outside. Tho half opened letter fell to the desk, and Uncle Theodore leaped out on the eranda. "Morning, uncle!" said she. "Have 70U slept well?' "Fine." "Vou-'don't look it," sold she. "Your eyes look dull. You devoto too much time to business while your family Is asleep, don't you?' "Uncle" thought of tho unopened let ter, the unanswered telegrams, the Bcglectcd business. Mr. Wnddy's mon ey, the uncompleted aeronef, the sleep less nights, tormented by not business at all, not business! Decidedly not! "I slept too soundly," said he. They spent most of their time out of doors. Theodore nte wolfishly each day and drank great quantities of cof fee to show that he was In fine fettle quito unable to pick up his end of the conversation. It was youth and spring and sweet fellowship, though the Items made him trfck of Mrs. Stott'a table talk. He wanted the river and Psyche, knowing that ho ought to go and leave her. Every night he vowed to go next morniug and laid plans for another day with her. Early ono morning they started out on a berry picking expedition. Tho win irou in a nonow ana ren in a heap on tho Bermuda grass. Theo dore found her with her ankle gripped la her hands and her lips tight to hold back a cry. A hurried question, a cheery reply cut in two with a twinge of pain, and ho picked her up. She threw her arms about his neck to ease the burden. Alas, it mado It heavier! Tho fervor of his embrace did the an kle no good and nearly crushed poor Virginia. Tho color rose slowly to her brow as ho set her down on the veraii. da and stood over her, breathing hard. She rose on the sound foot and tried tho It her carefully. "It Isn't bad at all." said she. Taking off tho shoe, sho held the lit tle foot in her hand, examining the an. kle critically, "Do you think It's swelling?" she asked. Theodore tenderly Biueezed tho shapely ankle and roso to his feet. "I don't know," said be. "I-Pfr-liitia"- IIo had seized her hand and was looking at her with none of tho Im personality of tho surgeon or physl clan. Sho did not take her bund away, Ho dropped It und ran-rnn-toward tho river. Theodora was absent at dlnni'i' with. out upology, and tho womon wero in bed before ho stolo to h room and lay tossing again. Desperate, ho rose and went Jo tho library,, lighted a SHE THREW 11 Ell AltMS ABOUT HIS NECK TO EASE THE HUltDES. the romantic dangers of bis uuclehood. Trembling with excitement, he attempt ed a note to Virginia. WIzner at the I cabin, luossnccs at the beach, meant danger und disgrace if he neglected his task longer, Infamy if he toyed on with temptation. He told Chloe through her door that be bad been called nwny and that sho must explain to the ladies. He hastily packed a bag, ran down and unmoored the launch and tied down the river. Captain Ilarrod, dignified, barefoot ed, soft voiced, unkempt, kept his lonely vigil on the white straight edge of beach that lay from Fort Morgan to Perdldo bay. Captain Harrod, Ig noring landscape and seascape, devot ed himself to the study of sand tracks of all sorts tracks of foxes examin ing the beach for turtles' eggs, months ahead of time; talon marks of opos sums and raccoons prowling about for crabs, mice and birds' eggs; hoof marks of wild hogs, etc. Trails of men there were along the sparsely trav eled highway of the strand and the footprints of one in particular attract ed him. Tracks in tho sand were to Harrod book, newspaper, telegraph and circulating library. He knew sev eral things that this man might be a deserter from the fort, perhaps, or It might be some one connected with the revenue service. His cabin was "Harrod's flshingcamp" nothing more. What had revenue officers to do with such humble piscatorial headquarters as these? They should not care about Theodore's hidden Invention.
