They could feel the warmth radiatee
from the ground, balmy with earthly
scents. The landscape was utterly
changed Far off to the west was the
blue line of the highlands, its peaks los'
in haze. Below were farms planted il
corn and wheat and tobacco. from
which came up the lowing of cattle, tht
growing of cocks, and, most distinct o.
all, the barking of dogs. Far to the
northeast lay a shining river, widening

discerned the clustered spires and tow.

scape over and studied his map.

that that's Richmond?,'
IF so" answered Craighead, 'let me
adopt Mr.. Greeley's war-cry, On tc

what's the matter with it's being Phila-

mospher of Quaker drab, but if not the
City of Brotherly Graft, let's have i

But it must be the James, cried
Carson. ''Craighead, we've made Rich

Craighead, scanning the southeast
with his field glasses, had discovered at
a distance of six or seven miles, huge
silver aeronat steering northward and
to its passengers he referred With
many gestures. Carson trained his
binoculars on her and grew tense as a
greyhound at sight of a distant wolf
The aeronat was of the Condor type
and of the largest size. with bow rud-
ders, and along her side ran the line of
a vestigial aeroplane. Still at the same

engines until the wind of fight swept

Carson threw the Virginia up into ths

aeronat with the points of the COM

to the distance and the speed of the
two ships, and in another moment
they emerged on the shining upper
levels of the cloud, which, like a shim-
mering screen between the Virginia
and the other craft. hid their approach
to each other. One below the curtain
and one above it, the airship of the
future and the airship Of the past flew
on converging courses. Carson held
