though they chose the least fraouented
streets, they had to suffer from some en-
counters. 1t was a good half hour before
they found themselves in the forest and
III sight of the hangar. One look that
way and Sweetwater turned to see what
the effect was upon Mr.. Challoner.
A murmur of dismay greeted him
The oval OF that great lid stood up against
the forest background.
He has escaped" cried Mr. Challoner.
But Sweetwater, laying a finger on his
lips advanced and laid his ear against
the door Then he cast quick look aloft.
Nothing was to be seen there The dark
ness of the storm in the heavens, but
nothing more. Yes! now a flash of vivid
and destructive lightning!
The two men drew back and their
glances crossed
Let us return to the hlghroad" whis-
pered Sweetwater; I'VE can see nothing
here"
Mr.. Challoner, trembling very much,
wheeled slowly about
Wait" enioined Sweetwater. First
let me take a look inside
Running to the nearest tree he quickly
climbed it, worked himself along a pro-
| truding branch and looked down into the
open hangar. 1t was now so dark that
details escaped him, but one thing was
certain. The airship was not there

us reach the high ground as quickly as
we can I'm glad that Mr. Oswald Broth
erson is not with us-or Miss Doris
| But this expression of satisfaction died
on his lips. At the point where the forest
road debauches into the highway, he had
already caught a glimpse of their two

and the brother spoke up the instant he
saw Sweetwater:
Where is he? You've not found him
or you wouldn't be coming alone. He
can not have gone up. He can not man
age it without an assistant We must
seek him somewhere else-in the forest or
in our house at home. Ah,' The light
ming had forked again
He's not in the forest and he's not
in your home returned Sweetwater
| He's aloft; the airship is, not in the shed.
And he can go up alone now" Then more

I They strained their eyes in a madden

ness had so increased that they could be
sure of nothing

| Suddenly the lightning flashed again
this time so wildly and so near that the
whole heaven burst into fiery illumina-

moment to rock the world and bow the
heavens toward them. Then a silence;
| then Sweetwater's whisper in Mr. Chal-

Children Right.

ut seems that children nowadays
prefer dolls that have expression, and I
think that the children are right. Prob
ably it means that we are getting away
from the ideal of doll-likc beauty which
lacks expression and intelligence. Ger
tainly 1t is significant when little chill
dren turn away from the beautiful
French dolls and take the funny. life
like doll babies. whose faces are so full
of expression that it seems as if they
could almost talk"
Miss Brady cant have put away her
dolls so very long ago, though she is
still young enough to be highly in
censed if one reminded her of the fact.
and her ideal has coincidentally changed
from the impossible silly doll face to
the beauty of intelligence which shows
i'm expression and good health which is
the foundation of all pretty coloring in
face or hair.
