CHAPTER ".
TIVE FALL THAT FOLLOWED PRIDE

Theodore fell like stone, so swiftly that
the aeronaut seemed to dart incontinently
toward heaven. All about him were the
tossing folds Of the cloud, streaming horse
tails of fog, fleeces OF aerial wool, invisible,
save for the lights OF the Roc, which inter
mttently revealed the vapOrous details ard
partly dispelled the weird Illusion that he
was falling eternaly, like a soul hurled
forth into a purgstory of limitless descent.
Like the retinal image Of a quenched flame,
he saw in the murk the eyes Of Shayne's
niece. and her white face under the quaint
pointed hat. blanhy amazed at his des-
perate leap from the air-ship. Suddenly
the pull OF the parachute sdmonished' him
that at last It was doing It's work, and re-
stored 20 him an acute perception Of his
situation.
He felt none Of the effects OF the gale

then lower one bowed him through its
dense top; he laid hold of a slim birch,
and, as it bent like a fishing rod under
his weight, he let go the sheets of his
parachute, the wind spilled from the sillIen
leach, and he tumbled heavily into a mat
tress-like bridal wreath bush, over an as
phalted walk, and, essed down by the
shrubbery. he rose unhurt. so far as he
could feel, to find himself by a rustic seat
near dry fountain. On his left he could
make out a long building three or four
stories high. the roof of which he had
barely missed. looming against the night

A high wall running back from each end
Of this structure, seemed to him 10 bound

be. Back in some crepuscular jungle he
heard the throaty below of a great dog
and thanked Heaven that he had left no
trail He found his parachute almost I'M

he fancied. nearer. Feeling for his pistol
and finding it lost he limped-for he now
discovered that one knee was hurt-across
the lawn to the place farthest from tho
dog.
Following the wall, he found It Integral
with that OF the house. For 300 or COO feet
back, it was blank and high and insur-
mountable. The dog was still now, and,
though Theodore's legs prickled with tho
fear OF fangs at each rustic in the shrub
berry, ne reconnoitered the rear wall to
brick barn into which II was built. Every
thing was depressngly secure and sub
stantial and workmanlke Like the walls
that surround the terrestrial paradise these
structures were as the native rock pr tho
eternal hills.

but the wind of his fall burst upward as
from the mouth of some huge blower, fight
ing his descent, stripping off his hat, and
swapping his hair like whip-lsshes. Black
as the heavens was all below until directly
beneath him there suddenly burst forth "a
great red light that kindled the clouds to
crimson, turning the heavens 10 a sky Of
sanguinary vapor spanning sea Of flame
The mysterious light sweled like an out
bursting conflagration; filled the falling
boy with terror; and then, as swiftly as
1t mad grown, il waned faded, and the sky
was dark again. The fear Of the eery and
inexplicable chilled him more than did the
fierce March blast. The expanded parachute
suspended him over fiery mystery and an
unknown land, wondering, wishing for day,
or for clear darkness even. that he might
see on what or into what he was falling.
II he but knew the land, he might set
the deflectors and work his fail over into
safety-if safety the neighborhood afforded.
How the winds voice grew Whether on
chLLch spire or chimney or tower. into
garden OF wood or graveyard, or into open
grave, It was a wild, dangerous night in
which to land.
Suddenly he burst from the floor Of the
cloud like a meteorite. and saw a long
procession white and violet lights speeding
past and away into the distance. the arc
lights OF a town set into apparent flight
by the speed Of his headlong career before
the wind. Far off in the glare of a loco
motive fire-box he could see a devilish
black fireman, weirdly stocking. Had there
been light for it. Carson had scant time
to survey his laud-fdll but he Judged in
simultaneously that on either side void lie
the open fields; aud to avoid the roofs and
ohimneys he set the deflectors 10 nurse OFF
his descent toward farms and soft earth.
The town fled away; the roar OF the
wind rose about him he was whipped

Theodore was examining his parachute.
As the pair entered the cabin, he had loos-

spreading a pair of light, collapsible Gossett

shoulder, and stood with black brows
frowning, the slim parachute in his hand.
