I1 Virginia was thinking of the victory

("Tell mo once more that you are not

"Oil. tell me it isn't true!" she cried.
jTell me that I am not humiliated, ac

J Mr. Sbayne begged her to calm her'
golf.
I "It's only an Injunction," urged Mr.
jbayne, "We can't use tho Roc be
cause the court forbids It"
"At that man Carson's requqst!" I
'II you. Flnley Sbayne, It Is a trick of

Mrs. Shayne Knew better than to try
flopping hint. lie yelled tueMsnges and
orders luto telephoned Ho Issued hur
ry calls for valets and maids. The
forcofulness that had made hlui what,
he was came uppermost.
Suddenly Into Shayne's den burst
Sllberberg, his face red,' his whole
being simmering hot.
"I'm done with you!" spluttered Sit.
bcrberg. "Get me away from hero If
you're a gentleman!"
"If I wasn't I'd have you kicked,

"Well." nnswcrwl Shayne. "the Roc
sails at once."
The other members ofthe Imprisoned
party were at the garage before Sllber
berg, Mrs. Shayne In the cabin, Vir
ginia and Shnyno in animated debate
on the platform.
"Well." Shayno was saying to her,
"stay, then, like a simpleton ! But how
are you to get away? I don't kuow
how long the courts will keep this up,
and our running the injunction won't
make it any shorter!"
"It's blowing awfully." said Sllber
berg. Nobody noticed him but the pilot
"I know it, sir." said he. "It's fool
hardy to take this gas bag out"
"Shayne." said Sllberberg, "the pilot
says it's not fit to go out"
"Then stay," answered Shayne.
"You're welcome to fhe house."
"But Shayne." cried Sllberberg, "it
may mean getting whirled out to sea
or"
"Out to scar sneered Shayne." "And'
the wind southeast Stay If you're
afraid. Virginia, Mr. SUberberg's go
ing to stay with you."
Virginia walked aboard with a look
of disdain, the bitterest cut of all.
The winches drew back the leaves of
the great roof to let out the Roc. and
the surge of the outer air filled the
garage with windy tumults. Sllber
berg suddenly resolved to go and leap
ed to the gangplank. The drawbridge
roof dropped down; the Roc, huge,
steely and majestic, went out of her
vast nest.
Shayne sullenly gave orders to lay a
course dead for Temagaml in spite of
the .northwesterly wind back of the
clouds. By waiting for the tUrn of the
wind they might have made New
York, but every mile of northing took
them farthor from-the central "low"
and Into a larger circle of the htfge
whirl of the, gale. The pilot knew that
Temagaml was out of the question,
though the wind blew dead toward It
nay. because of that fact, for a high
wind never blows straight, but always
In a circle i about tho "low." So
Shayne, violating the rules of weather
outside to make sunshine within, was
not surprised when told that they were
approaching the lino of reversal the
turn of the wind.
"Ilead against If ordered Shayne.
"aud cross Lake Ontario before dark if
you can."
"It looks more than we can face,"
said the pilot "If It Is shall we run
before It and try for a Pennsylvania
port?"
"Use your best Judgment" said
Shayne.
"Yes. Blr," said the pilot, whose best
Judgment bad been to stay housed.
"And you may want to know, sir,
there's some sort of craft astern and
overhauling us."
"The devil!" ejaculated Shayne.
"I'll take a look at her."
The binoculars revealed an aeroaef
perhaps five miles astern, with wide
wings. In which he could see the shim
mer of blades In rapid revolution. The
exclusive rights of the Virginia, the
singular swiftness and power of the
flight of this aeronef aud tho shimmer
In her wings assured Shayne that he
was pursued by the machine which
hud wrecked his mouopoly. They
wanted to put him In Jail for breaking
their injunction, he raged. The shame
of it he. Flnley Shayne. a fugitive
for sailing God's free air In his own
ship! And the danger of It. too, for
Canada and safety now looked utterly
unattainable.
The mountains slipped from under
them, and the farms nnd villages took
their places on tho moving concave- of
the earth as tho big ship made speed
toward tho Mohawk. Tho Roc was
struck by an opposing gale; n suddeu
hurricane smote her decks as her mo
meutum drove her through tho north
wind. She turned before It The
great concave panorama below slowly
reversed and began paying off to the
north as tho vast ueronat drifted like
a bubblo to tho south before the
fiercest blow sho had ever dared en
counter. Canada was out of the ques
t!on. "If we reach an aerial harbor," said
Shayne through tho speaking tube,
"what do' you think of trying a land
ing?" "Sho'd rip to strings," said the pilot
"We'd bo killed."

An educated ad reader will never be poor.
To "know advertising" is to have a prac
tical knowledge of valuedof things of
when and how and where to buy. No one,
having and utilizing such knowledge, could
ever be unthrifty, or in any sense careless
or reckless of expenses. For such knowl
edge makes for thrift for saving. It makes
one proof against shams false values
manipulated reductions.
Tho intelligent ad reader uses as much
thought and ability in buying things as is
required in earning the money that is spent
for them, And. that amounts to a substan
tial increase of the value of every dollar
of the family revenue!

CHANCELLOR CARICATURES
DRAW OFFICIAL PROTEST
B13RMN, Aug, 30. A strong offl.
clal protest ha boon mndo against
tho general toudoncy of caricatures
of tho Imperial (lornmn chancellor,
Ilorr von IJotlunaim Ilollwog.
Tho caricatures represent tho clian
collor tiB boltvg an Inert, helpless,
bored, lazy philosopher, lncapablo of
any definite reoolutlon, and utterly
unfitted to possess any decisive pow
er. It Is complained that those cari
catures of tho chancoltor nro calcu
lated to lesson tho prestige of tho
Gorman empire", In th eyes or other
nations, Inasmuch na German carica
tures of Hon von Bcthmann Ilollwog
Inevitably find their way Into tho col
umns of foreign newspapers.
It Is alleged thai tho caricatures
represent Ilorr con Bottunann Iloll
wog to bo so grotesquo a flguro that
a profound contempt, for Germany
having such a chancellor must bo a
certain result of looking at them.
For this reason It Is urged na a pa
triotic duty to rofraln from carlca-'
hiring the the chancellor In such !
morclless style.
