HOW 1T FEELS TO FLY.
You Seem to Float, Yet the Wind
Roars in Your Ears.

HoarS IN your Ears.
All who have had the good fortune
to ride in the aerodrome unite in their
description of that first sensation
There is no jerk in starting, though
the machine leaps forward with a
powerful swoop. Then cOmes-with
scme-a brief sense of nassau a
feeling as if the blurred ground were
dropping away from beneath.
A slight thrust of the left hand lever
lifts the flyers head, the ground drops
away still faster, and then as the ma
chine climbs into the air ones eyes
adjust themselves to the proper focus
and the surface of the earth below
seems to be ripping past at railroad
speed
By this time, says writer in Out
ing, you have forgotten the clack of
the noisy motor, the flap and whir of
the propellers, the grinding of the
chain and sprocket gear that drives
them. All vibration has practically
ceased and you float along with a
sense of springy ease and buOyancy
such as you can gain from no other
means of locomotion. That you are
flying fast you know only from the
roar of the wind in your ears and the
slight difficulty you have in filling
your lungs with air, the same sensa-
ton one gets in racing against the
wind in an auto.
Then comes the first turn. The ma
chine rises to it, taking it's own angle
sideways, just as a motor car leans
on the banked curve of racing track.
You have no sense of leaning side
ways, though-no feeling that you
must tilt yourself as you do when the
auto turns a corner, for you sit up
right. the aerodrome s1anting of it's
own volition to the necessary angle
and slanting you with it. A glass of
water set on the floor of the flyer
could be carried around curve after
curve and still not lose a drop.

| in the hall. He stared as if sur
prised to see these two visitors.
Il hardly expected to see you here
again, Mrs. Hume" he remarked
dryly.
Mr. Hume was spared the necessity
of answering. The detective said:
"You are DR.. Brewer? / wish to
see Mr. Strangways."
The doctors manner could not have
been more suave or polite.
That, l am afraid, is out of the
question. Mr.. Strangways is in q
critical state of health, and as his
medical adviser do not feel justified
in allowing him to be excited by see
ing visitors, especially at SO late an
hour. Perhaps you can explain your
business to me?" he said.
The detective was watching him
closely in the dim light of the hall
He remembered having seen this
man at the theater: he had trained
that the doctor should have left the
theater about the time Lathom had
disappeared, if the touts story were
not true.

said, CURLY; eve had information
that John Lathom, wanted ON a

in his stage clothes. I have definite
information that he was seen entering

tor, smiling. Il can assure you the
gates are always kept locked; Mr..
Strangways is so pestered by unwel-

turf that, by his orders, they are kept

in his stage clothes?"
"My information is that he was not

The doctor smiled.
Il must congratulate you on your

said, suavely. ut is true I was at the

-"since you did your best to give

Hume was momentarily taken aback
at the unexpected words; then, feign-
ing the utmost surprise, he cried:
Whatever do you mean, my dear
chap? Whom should l give any tip
to? Haven't said from the first that

Before the detective could answer,
a diminutive man, with foxy eyes,

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Doctor Whispers.

Mr.. Hume and the detective stood
gloomy house round which so many
odd rumors conferred Their sum-
mons was so long in being answered
that the detective had rung impa-
tiently a second time before the old
servant came down the dark drive to
peer suspiciously through the gates
at the visitors in the light of the
lantern he carried.
81 want to see Mr.. Strangways, or
at any rate his doctor, at once, my
man." the detective said, sharply II
am an inspector of police, and I've
come on business that won't admit of
any trifing"
AS if reluctantly, the old man I'M
barred the gates and admitted them
Bonholt Hume and the detective
walked up the long dark drive, fol-
lowing the swaying light of the Ian
tern which the old servant carried
Bonholt wondered if his second visit
to the Grange would be more pro-
ductive of results than the first,
which had left him with the impress
sion more firmly rooted than ever
that the mystery Anthony Strang-
ways had limited at as existing be-
fhncn ho ui
BILE fact. The refusal to let him see
the squire, the fragment of converse
ton he had overheard that afternoon
behind the locked baize door, be-
tween the doctor and a second per
son, that made him sure his message
had never even been taken in to
Ralph Strangways, seemed to confirm
that impression. Was Ralph Strang-
ways even living? or was there a
conspiracy afoOt to pretend that he
was alive, that Pride o. Lies nomi-
nation for the race might not be rem
dered void?
The detective quickened his steps
and caught up the old servant.
Il believe the doctor has come in?"
he said.
q believe so,' said the servant,
guardedly.
did he come alone? I shall be
sorry to disturb him, if he brought
a friend back with him." said the de-
tective, with a fine air of careless
ness-"as I think he did I fancy, as
matter of fact, that l saw him walk
ing to the gates of the Grange with
a gentleman"
But the old man was not to be
pumped.
81 saw no one with the doctor,
SIR he replied.
The detective looked hard at the
quite impressive, but his interlocutor
was by no means convinced That
the little racing tout, on whose in
formation he was acting, was proba-
by an utter rogue he had no doubt,
but he believed that the man had
spoken the truth in this instance, be.
cause evidently he bore little good
will towards Lathom; the bruise on
his mouth was testimony to that.
Moreover, though the man. when
questioned, had protested ignorance
of it, the detective was pretty sure
that he had some knowledge of the
telegram that had informed the po-
lice of Lathom's whereabouts; and
under these circumstances his tale
had a plausible ring about it.
Inside the house, as they were be-
| ing shown by the servant into a
