"I'll be there," Dagger promised recklessly. There was no sense In arousing her aunt, Dagger decided, dressing hastily In the chill of an early dawn. She slipped downstairs and chuffed off In her little roadster. Turning In the camp gate, Va neerlng hailed her from a group of officers In flying-suits. "So you came!" he said cheer fully, "I really only half-expected you." He pointed to a graceful biplane. "How's that for a sweet, little ship? A hundred and twenty miles an hour she'll do. But watch!" "Can 1 see from here?" "Don't you worry," be laughed, adjusting bis helmet Having gained altitude, Va neer lng banked and turned, still climb ing moderately, and suddenly, a Dagger b tit red enthralled, went Into a sideslip.

"Oh. ho is " '; ;' "Not him, lady," tho mechanic re assured her. "Just plnylu', that's all. llut he's through. See?"
