CHAPTER Xxx.

IW7HEN Forrest Cain, lying un-
his automobile, regained his
senses he saw Gordon Kelly standing
over him. His mind was befuddled
and he did not recall what had hap
pened to him. Kelly prodded him with
the toe of his shoe as though he was
dead snake and said, sharply Get
up"
Cain rose slowly to his feet. The
fight was all out of him
Walk around" ordered Kelly. Cain
took few steps. Kelly left him and
Joined Mildred and Elmer. He is all
right. Get in the car please, and we
will get out of this"
Without even another glance at
Cain, the three entered Kellys auto
mobile and a minute later they were
whirling down the road, leaving Cain,
with singular indifference, to his own
meditations.
Cain was sober by this time-sober.
sullen and resentful. His right hand
panied him. He looked at the back of

had struck him. 1t was, crushed and

1t was necessary to turn around. This

This had to be taken at low speed
however, because once the car start

was. was the most mysterious indi-
vidual in the world.
Mildred began to go over the entire
situation in her mind. She hadn't gone
far when she suddenly came to the
realization that she hardly knew any
thing al all about Gordon Kelly. She
knew nothing about his family. his
life nor his habits. He had been in
troduced into her family as Gordon
Kelly, yet here, up in his mountain
home. no one knew of a Gordon Kelly.
They called him Mr.. Bud. Who was
Mr.. Bud? Her father certainly didn't
know him by that name. He had told
her that he had met Gordon Kelly
through Judge Barbee. Certainly the
Judge wouldn't be a party to any de-
ception. Was Gordon Kelly an as
sumed name? Was It an alias? Her
| father had told her nothing about Cor
don Kelly's family-because he didn't
know anything about it himself, prob
ably.
Was his family respectable? ?" Did
he really own the property. or was he
an employee or representative OF the
people that did own 1t? He might be
a foreman or a superintendent. No
harm in that. thought Mildred, but she
would like to know about it.
Then she reviewed her brief ac-
quaintance with Gordon Kelly. She
recalled the conversations she had had
with him in the few times they had
met The talk. she remembered. was
mostly about books and music and
kindred topics and the small talk that
two young people would indulge in. It
came back to her that he talked with
great intelligence on music and art
and literature Surely he vas refined
and cultured. His family must be
respectable.
And then Mildred thought of Cor
don Kelly the Mantle tall, fine

NhtEE Gays passed before Cor
don Kelly heard directly from
Mildred Deery. Her nerves
shattered and on the verge Of hys-
terra, she had been taken home by
/ Gordon after the near tragedy in
/ which Cain was involved. She would
not allow Mrs. Sheppard to summon
either Of her parents from Atlanta
nor would she permit her to call the
{ nearest doctor. She was her own
physician In the days that followed
and she began by prescribing com
plete rest and quietness That, she
/ told herself, was what the most cele-
brated physician in the land would
have told her.
Gordon talked over the telephone

they came from she could not I'M

WRIGHTS' APPEAL HEARD
Old Flying Machine Suit Against
Curtiss Reviewed Here.

The last stage OF legal fight OF five
years standing which is of vital impor-
lance To the future of the aeroplane in
this country was begun yesterday in the

The case is an appeal by Glenn Curtiss
and the Herring Curtiss company from a
decision by Judge John r. Hazel in Buff

company from the sale or manufacture or
aeroplanes on the ground that their model
Is an infringement of the Wright patent.
Decisions I'm France and Germany this
year have been made In favor OF the
Wright company, and victory in tha
present suit will give them control of the
field Judge Hazel granted stay pend
ing the appeal, which is now being heard.
T.. r. Newell. Of the firm OF Newell IL
Neal, No Rector street, began argument
before Judges Lacombe, Cox and Ward
in behalf of the Curtiss interests. lie
maintained that Judge Hazers decision
should be set aside on the ground that
there were marked differences between
the mode of operation of the machines or
the rival aeronautical concerns.
II. A. Toulmin, chief counsel Of the
Wright company. made the opening ar
gument for his side. He had not finished
when an adjournment was taken and will
resume this morning. Mr.. Toulmin pointed
out that the company had based its
charge OF infringement on four claims Of
the Wright patent, which includes eigh-
teen In all The chief infringement is al
legged to be IN attachments for maintain
ing equilibrium.
Orvile Wright came on from Dayton to
hear the suit. and Glenn Curtiss was also
in court Frederick T. Fish, former presi-
dent OF the Bell Telephone Company, will
present the chief argument for the
Wright company. The four claims on
which the Wright interests base their
suit are essential points in all modern
