It wa as It she had been stripped of all superficialities, all earthly pretense, when she had Iinfered there that last moment in the ship. Bob was crared with anxiety for her. He had ordered her to jump. She was unafraid! And now, actually in the mid' night storm, she still experienced no great terror. Her senses were temporarily numbed. She had shut her eyes tight against rain. She felt a harsh whirring, then a sense of ethereal, timeless float ing as if in some fantastic night mare. First genuine consciousness re turned when her ears began to "pop," as one's ears do in a swift elevator descent Next instant she realized the rain was gone and there was even a hint of visibility. "OH-H-h-h-h!" The shriek was snatched out of her mouth. But now she was aware! She clawed at the metal ring on her chest. WHOO-O-O-o-o-sh! Invisible arms grabbed her, pulled her, snatched her, turned her crarily around and then she began rocking. The wind changed to a smaller cress breeze, and there was a aiwging tautness In her head. Breath came in gasps. In the same moment, which had begun with a high point of fright, a triumphant exaltation seized her. Something in this appealed to her youthl Here was excitement! Dar ing! Adventure! Success! She had no time to reason about that but presently her alert senses did tell her that she had literally dropped away from the storm. The worst part of It now was far overhead and driving toward the horizon. A flash of frenzy assailed her Bob Hale was still up there! but ! common sense made her look im mediately to her own welfare. For 'him she could only utter a quick, devout little prayer. The pilot had said they were ever mountains and she didn't doubt it. Obviously, then, she would strike one of them at any moment She looked down. There was an irregular black void, swelling and bulging and boiling. But no! The apparent boiling was due not to its motion, but to her own. "In a minute in Just a min ute!" She could not actually speak through the swift air stream, but she knew she was about to strike earth again and she wanted to do It safely. She had no knowledge of land ing technique. She realized only that she must land and then in stantly get out of her parachute before it dragged her. She felt she could do that She loosened a buckle tentatively. The odd sense of elation and adventure in her was still strong. It was somehow comparable to riding a horse in a wild run, or being towed swiftly on an ocean surf board. The end came in an abrupt jar ring that shook her hard, heels to teeth, plus a rolling and a scram bling and a wholly feminine shriek. For a long minute she was dazed. "Lordy!" she murmured, then. a a 'THE landing had been much x harder than she had imagined. She was bruised all over. She sat on rocks. Wet blond curls were plastered over her face. She had no hat whatever had become of that anyway, she wondered. Her heart was pounding. And there, not too far off, was a quite un mistakable mountain. She stood up. "Well!" she said, inadequately. She saw her parachute down the slope, flopping lazily. She had no idea how she ever got loose from the harness. She looked around. She looked up. There were stars In half the sky. The storm? A remote black spot, still doing some thunder growling but fleeing like a beaten pup. She took a few steps. She was still on rocks. Then a pin point of light assailed her from a dis tance and below, two pin points. She concentrated on them; yes, they really were moving. "A road!" But it was a long distance away and, unreasonably, she was sud denly terrified. She gave no thought to her remarkable ex hilaration during the jump. Some how that senseless plunge from an airplane, by a girl who had never done such a stunt before, did not seem frightening in the least but here on good solid ground all manner of imaginary bugaboos loomed. In later, calmer hours, friends were destined to laugh at the feminine in that CHE walked about three miles to the road, slipping and sliding, Jailing; over. th( rough ground. POWER COVRtOMT. 141.

She was happy to find a pave ment She stood there waving, thinking frantically now of Bob Hale. The first car to approach her slowed down, wavered, then went on. The next one stopped. A slender, wet girl waving here after midnight ! "Trouble, miss?" a genial voice inquired. i "Oh! Oh, yes!" Then and only then did Carol. Tyler act nor mally. There before a complete i stranger she broke down and cried. Her Samaritan was distressed. It took him half an hour to hear her out. to comfort her and warm her with his coat to walk in credulously back toward her para chute and then return without seeing it and to start with her toward town. He felt that he had picked up some sort of miracle. He was a pleasant gentleman, past middle age, to whom such things just never happened. "I can never thank you enough," Carolyn began, when she was calm again. "Are can you tell me where we are?" "This is in Arizona, miss. Were you lost up there long?" ! "Years, I think. I must know .rK'"1" ... - - Arizona nothing but mountains? Oh. I'll go crazy if " "Now, now, miss, take It easy. There's not many people, but some. I looked on the gasoline map.
