MILTON OAkMAN, Sherln.
! BY Otto Klanowsky, Deputy Sheriff
The Yale expositor., 1913-11-13

Promptly within the hour he was
back and within his seat. With a
glance ahead to see that his path
was clear, he waved his hand at them
And now, good people" he began
"All you have got TO do Is show me
the dragon and I'll do the rest. I'll
bring him back to you on a string
with a ribbon around his neck. Now
clear there, for I'm coming" He
threw on the power and clUtched the
wheel
Instantly the light machine leaped
forward like a hare, the big air fan
but a blur, first humming, then dron-
ing and lastly whistling shrilly as its
speed revolutions ran TO height in
comprehensive to the mind Of man.
Into the air it leaped as a swimmer
leaps from a springboard, and with a
spectacular sweep or two so close
over their heads that they ducked in
spite Of themselves, Strengthened itself
out and went speeding like a bird
for the rugged crest of the mountains
! beyond. They gazed after him with
, admiration. The Flying Man had best
look out for himself now, for Little
| Put was hot upon his trail. Envi-
ously they thought Of the great re-
ward and Putnam's golden opportu-
nifty in being the first of the flyers
to arrive. And what would they not
give to see the duel when 1t occurred!
But there could be no such luck as
that. In all probability it would take
place in some lone quarter and all
they would know about 1t would be
Putnams story in the papers.
From one OF the nearer cliffs but
few miles away black object arose
and mounted upward with beating
wings. The crowd gasped and strained
it's eyes. only an eagle" ran from
lip to lip and they settled back to
watch the already distant aviator.
Then from a man who had raised
pair of binoculars to his eyes there
burst a cry which caused every heart
to leap like wounded wild thing and
set them to surging like a sea.
MY God! 1t is the Flying Man
himself! Look! Look"
In an instant pandemonium wild
as a tornado burst over them and q
vast roar doomed and reverberated
down the streets in a rolling thunder
THE Flying Man! The Flying Man!
He has accepted the challenge. He
is coming" In dozen seconds every
. window was black with heads, while
up to the roof tops humanity came
! sWarming lik9 ants, shouting, shov
, ing, wild with excitc-cnt 20 witness
a combat beside which the gladiatoria
battles of ancient Rome would have
been puerile and tame. Cursing anC
shrieking, fighting and pleading To-
points of vantage, they swirled like
maelstrom in the madness OF their de
: sire to see. Then as another roar ros'
: from the street, deeper toned than thu
first and carrying a fierceness In
that was almost leonine, they froz
!, themselves into a motionless solid
craning and breathless. Then over a.
,, a great silence fell heavily.
