Il reckon am. replied Mr.. Shayne
irritably. But tell us OF the rescue

While Silberberg and ShayEe lis
tened Winner began scouting up and
down the beach. At once they sig
nailed the Palmetto Beach wireless sta
ton, and in moment the news came
in that Miss Suarez had sent mes
sages to Mrs. Shayne that morning
and had taken an early boat for Mo-
bile. Mr.. Shayne grasped the hand Of
Mr.. Silberberg, who sat on log, bury
ing his face in his handkerchief.
81 know how you feel, old fellow"
said shayne. And want to say to

"Ah couldn't accept anything, subj"
said the captain. ''Thank'ee kindly.

"Ah reckon that's so. suh," replied
the captain, stepping into the lift.
Hes been a-stud'in' ve'y heavy about

The discovery of the methanose mix
ture, with ten times the explosive
force of gasoline, had made ascension
al and Oppressive screws an efficient
adjunct of the aeronaut with its barely
buoyant gas bag and, with the improv-
ed propellers which followed, made
the old fashioned ''dirigible" a fairly
dependable craft in ordinary weather.
1t was along this line rather than by
way of the heavier than air aeronefs
that development had marched, to
the enormous enrichment of Finley
Shayne, who controlled the Keewatin
methanose marshes.
Theodore Carson often thought of
Shayne. Carson's barren estate lay
under the lane between Pensacola and
Mobile, and above this ran the sparser
drift from Atlantic and Appalachian
forest points to the Mississippi sound
resorts. He knew the type Of every
airship. Most of these huge objects
dropping like swifts into the chimney
Of the aerial harbor at Mobile were
Shayne's Condors, Of which the Roc
was the type, modelled after the early
creations of Count Zeppelin. The
smaller, quicker, low flying ones with.
out the gas holders were the still un-
successful aeronefs of the Wright and
Farman types. The scene was varied
by an occasional orthopter with flap
ping wings or by helicopters. The
problem of life was in these various
vessels, and be studied them wistfully,
so wistfully that the Rocs wild honk
sounded thrice before he heard it. He
saw retractile telephone spinning
down from the great silver fish bal
anced In the calm sky, caught it and
put it to his ear:
"Oh, Aunt Chloe!" cried he, running
In for his hat and coat. Here's some
one above the house asking for me,
and who do you suppose it is?''
"Mout be the angel Gab'el," replied
Chloe, I'm whah he is an de way
he blow dat hon, but All reckon it's
tes' some trifin' sky hooter. Who is
dey?
'"The greatest luck you ever heard
Of" cried Theodore. where's that
new parachute? Never mind, I've
found it,
Mr.. Theodore ran out, stepped into
the lift and was whisked up to the
Roc's polished deck with his new par
achute over his shoulder.
