Fox came np to the Camberwcll
Springs Horse Show with tull Inten
tions of doing something about It.
The Show waa one ot those news
reel events that hit a blgh apot In the
social and army circles around
Washington. Raybnrne West was
there and ao wae bla wife, although
they weren't anywhere near each
other.
Attention was kindled when
Allaire galloped out on tb Held.

board.
"We're almost ready to leave, sir,"
the steward called from the open
loor ot the plane.
Allaire twisted a whits glove
tround In her hand. He Just didn't
tire a damn.
"Ton haven't much use for me,
have you, Terry Wlllett?"
There u an Indefinable quality
ibout her, a certain willfulness,
perhaps, that didn't help things at

The propellers were turning over.
Time to go. He bent forward Impul
sively and took her hand.
"Take care of yourself," ha said
swiftly, "and all good luck"
"But you're coming back V she
cried.
"How do I knowt I never plan past
the Job in hand. And anyhow." he
aald, "what difference doea It make?
You have your path to follow. Stick
to It, kid; you'v got somebody fine
to walk It with you."
The steward tapped him on the
shoulder. Wlllett nodded and picked
up his hags. Tim to gol The pro
pellers were roaring!
"Give my best to Fox." he ahouted
above tho clamor, "And tell him
when he'e Secretary of State to (end

"Good-bye," she echoed, but her
voice was lost In the roar.
An Instant later the plane roared
Into action. A tcrrlflo backlash of air
swirled around her, dragging at her.

face, forcing her bark.
Funny, how Tirry Wlllett gave ber
the eame feeling as the on she re

Or maybe It wasn't funny, because,
after all, ho'd gone.

Fox watched aa aha put her beau

Strange girl!
There were times when he'd

when he honestly believed she didn't

THAT last question waa near somi
tort of an answer, for bis sixty

waa going to St. James with him be'd
have to ask her soon.
Ray West gripped his shoulder.
"Watch her take this, George," h
exclaimed. "It's a wicked one."
She cam atreaktng up the field,

"Going to the clubhouse." b told
Ray.
"Congratulate her for me," said
her father. "It waa a good show.

Fox went Into the big main lounge
ot the club. Allaire cam In shortly
afterwards. She had put on a polo
coat over ber riding clothes and
moved through the throng Ilk a
booted and spurred Diana.
"You were grand," be said.
"Grand? oh. oh, thanks, George.
Let's sit down some place?"
They went out cn the verandah
and Allaire sank Into a deep wicker
chair and accepted a clgaret with I
little sigh.
'I'm supposed to rid again this
afternoon, but I think I'll chuck It
All the Westlanda horsea are nearly
dead. Ray's gang haa ridden them
Into a lather."
'You'r nearly dead too." he com
mented. "You've been going from
dawn to dawn."
"It's so silly," she said with dis
gust. "I don't se why you hothei
with me."
Fox looked at her then, noticed the
curve of her cheek and the droop of
her long dark lashes, and decided to
hell with the slity-day limit, if ens
didn't know by now she never would.
"Will you marry me. Allaire?" hi
asked suddenly.

First of the grent railroad ttmnels.
con true ted in America, the old Hoo-
cas tunnel was a marvel of engineer
ing accuracy. The tunnel hoicji '
through the Hoonac range In Mniwa-
chuaetta, nearly five miles to North
Adams, a hole 24 feet wide and a lit
tle more than 32 feet hlsh a bori
big enough for a double railway line
which penetrates the mounalna.
It waa started In 1665 and com
pleted 18 year later at a coat ol
$14,000,000. Lives lost during tho
hazardous undertaking totaled 300.
The tunnel was cut almost five miles
through solid rock: the work was '
ihade all the more difficult becauM
of the large amount of schlat rock
encountered. In building the Hooaac
tunnel, englneera for the first time
In America used air drills and nitro
glycerine in work of this kind.
Strange aa It seems, when the head
ing from the east wns cut through to
complete the bore to the western nd
of the tunnel there was only five-
sixteenths of a nlnch difference in
the floor level of the two parts.
