CHAPTER VII

SI1aI L vi
The Inception of "UncIe Theodore"
To a man like Theodore Carson,
who, in a desperate sort of ground
lessness for hope, had for a long
time nevertheless hoped, arbitrarily
and with youthful audacity, leaning
the ladder by which he mounted
against the clouds of his vision,
the transition to a merely rational
hope was uncomfortable, disquiet-
ing. Dreams are SO plastic. The
chateau en- Espagne is built of
smoke wreaths and based on morn
ing mists; but the family dwelling
rises through compromises with the
prints, elevations, perspectives, IT,
tie deeds and plumbing estimates.
His mind, habituated to the airy
ease of an unuttered faith in his
mastership of the air, felt the gall
ing of reality as he walked west
ward from the station toward di-
lapidated Carson's Landing. While
remorselessly computing every
thing relating to the aeronef, allow
ing for errors and providing cannily
for the margin of safety while
certain as experiment could make
him that it would fulfill his promise
to Waddy, he had been, save in his
engineering, a visionary, unac-
quainted with the world and its
margin of safety"
Seated on stump he sought
mental adjustment before entering
his house. He had had his chance
with Shayne, "the Prince of the
Powers OF the Air" and had thrown
it away in hot words to Shayne
in a blow to Silberberg, and by
| leaping from the Ros into the un
known abyss of night. These were
actualities. That broken deflectOl
of the parachute he carried proved
that, as did the memory of his fool
ishness over Shayne's niece, now
| happily forever past.

Saturn occupies place this

see-then-that the heart breaking
load she carried would have crushed
the strongest OF men; he only knew

And yet she bore her burden with
a sanity smile and patient soul that
makes her now appear as a heavenly
