JERRY swung over lake and ibore Una In a series of Immense con centric circles, urging bis powerful new ship up and up until her con trols became loose and the pointer on the altimeter refused to rise on the dial. He was happier, at this moment, than he bad been since he could re member. The pulsing drone of the marvellous new 625-borsepower mo tor was sweeter music to bis ears than the most exquisite harmonies of a symphony. Emory, his fiery blue eyes dancing with anticipation, was studying the magnificent panorama through nary binoculars. Never, since Inheriting bis father's substantial fortune, bad the mere ability to spend freely given blm aucb pleasure as now. It seemed to blm that never had he made as wise a purchase as the airplane. What better use of money than to buy adventure. Be remem bered tbe toast of the old gang Id bis squadron. Hard-bitten, bard eyed men rose and drank "bottoms up" to tbe words, "Anywhere but here!" Stevens wiped an ugly little sub calibre machine gun with a bit of oily cloth. He chewed rhythmically, bis faded old eyes looking at noth ing In particular. He had accepted the airplane as be accepted every thing else, unquostlonlngly. He saw no romance or adventure In the task before him. It he had to live bis life over again, be would have chosen a dif ferent job. One wblcb didn't csll tor always being ready to shoot first and bit tbe bull's eye on the first shot "There she Is!" Emory's exulting voice cut through the blurred snarl of the motor. "Tbe same amphib ian. Over there!" Far below, hurtling over tbe cor rugated blue washboard that was the lake, appeared a tiny airplane. beading straight out from the shore. Jerry throttled his engine, turned and carefully Jockeyed the mono plane Into Its position between the un and tbe speeding plane fifteen thousand feet below. The kidnapers' ship slid down to the water, taxied to a tiny pinpoint of black In tbe midst of the glitter log blue water,, then took off again and beaded back toward land. The monoplane, holding Its stragetlo po sition with ease, followed the am phibian over tbe rolling bills which nestled close to the lake shore and across the flat prairies beyond the hills. Miles followed miles until at last those In the fleeing ship turned abruptly toward the south-south-asst. At an altitude of twenty thousand feet the three In the monoplane watched the orderly lake front sub- arbs slide smoothly beneath their illve-y wing. "I bave a hunch," Jerry said, "that we're In for a long hop. That fellow down there Is sticking to a course that's as straight as a plumb line. We may as well settle down. Emory, take tbe stick while I stretch my legs," Theodore P. Hamilton capped the black deuce with tbe red ace, deftly swept the cards Into a pack and be gan to shuffle. He looked cool and comfortable In the spotless white linen suit which one of the house servants bad laid out before lunch, tt fitted his tall, thin frame as though It had been cut to measure. Sitting there at the table, his bony face half-hidden from the light, he waa a perfect picture of the suc cessful Amerlcsn business man en- Joying a moment's diversion from the routine of his work. His hair was graying, but his close-clipped mustache was as black as bis jut. ting eyebrows. He glanced Idly about the room and, catching the saturnine green eyes of the half-drunk Mallory, nod ded pleasantly, Impersonally. It wss little short of amatlng, the solitaire player mused, bow quickly TO 8AM FRANCISCO. JulJ t.

The request waa made by C. D. Morris of Chicago, representa tive ot the Weitern Railway Public Relations commission. He said at the final session here of th National Editorial association: "All the railroads of America need to put the pulse back In American business Is to give them a fair chance."

The president of tbe United States Textile corporation consid ered the matter and decided that unless they were freed before long, someone would hare to kill Mal lory. He was startled by bis own thoughts. A month ago be would bave viewed the Impending murder of a fellow cltlsen with horror. Now be found blmseit Judging Mallory Impartially and looking upon hla possible taklng-olt abstractly, with out concern. Williams, too, be could do with out He remembered tbe clothes In which Williams bad arrived. Too nlftlly cut tbey had been. Blue, pin-checked and with slanting pock ets. . The man was always Inter rupting bis solitaire with his silly blither about Chicago and the grain market He wondered If Williams knew bow be bated him.- If tbls soul-de stroying tension was not lessened. be, Hamilton, might be driven to doing something about It He care fully placed a red seven upon a black eight Martin, now. He pouted. ' Hla whole face pouted, black eyes, Ro man nose, thin pink Hps; tbey all pouted. His silence and morose- ness was almost as Irritating as Wil liams' unquenchable garrulity. Ex tremes, amid all tbls heat were bad. If the man's eyes would not swivel around the room sol Those slightly popped eyes detracted Hamilton's attention from hta solitaire and caused him to make exasperating blunders. He wondered whether Martin would stop looking like that If one asked him to desist Or would he Jail sit tbere In stony silence and stare? Hamilton atole a glance at blm and felt bis nerve-ends prickle. Yes. still staring. Tbe girl was a plucky one. Not bis type, perhaps, but be was con scious of a distinct admiration for the way she was holding her own sgalnst tb weather and the men. When she bad Bret arrived, Hamil ton bad thought she would break down. Sbe had eaten little. The vivid coloring faded out of her smooth cheeks. She spent much of her time In ber own room. When she emerged, her eyes were sus piciously pink. But she had seemed to gather strength with the passing of time. No doubt she bad been farced to, for wltb every new day the men had become more ardent In the attenticus. It had been divert ing watching ber handle them. Strangely enough, Hamilton did not resent Luce!. Of all the men on the heat-raddled Island, Luccl waa alone In remaining true to type. He looked, thought talked and act ed exactly like One-Shot Luccl, gangster chief. Hamilton had been gratified when, that erenlng at din ner, be had discovered that the gangster, too, was In love with the girl Nancy, Ha had liked tbe way Luccl bad parried Nancy'a look of scorn when tbe gangster had Informed the en tire assemblage that tbe girl would henceforth be regarded as his on pain of Instant and brutal punish ment Mallory had gulped greedily at his champagne. Williams had flushed furtively. Martin had looked at Luccl with eyes like those of a rattle snake. Yea, little fear of going mad wltb all these to watch. Ha shuttled the pack and dealt tbe cards Into meticulously straight Una. It oc curred to him that he was already, perhaps, a little mad. Well, It didn't matter, Tbe others were mad, too. He wondered why their captora bad allowed things to come to such a pass. Suave, Impersonal house servants; ugly, Impersonal guards. Excellent foods, wines and liquors. Well-chosen wardrobea at the dis posal of the guests wbo had come Ill-prepared for an extended stay. The rooms were comfortable enough In this rambling, one-story structure which had so apparently been erect ed for tbe very purpose of entertain ing "guests." Tbe staff must hare been given explicit orders to allow the "guests" to do as tbey chose, so long as no opportunity was glren them to escape. Hamilton haiarded a guess that the guards would not eren interfere In a fight or a mur der. Well, he would anon know. Ha looked at bis watch. Only eight o'clock. Through the open windows came the bussing bum of an airplane mo tor. (Copyright. Diet Frees) The htad of the gang spptara tomorrow strsngsr than all thslr Imagining.
