considering that this afternoon with
her was rightfully his, had found a
little consolation in the thought that
his rival would eventually excuse
himself and depart, and that he would
thereby have the last hour of the day
alone with her, but Tolliver showed
no intention of departing, keeping his
place close by her side and chatting
easily and confldentially as they
walked and ignoring March as much
as he dared in his conversation.
Angry and resentful, March spoke but
little, and Doris. now that the excite
ment was over. had grown quiet as
well.
At the gate she turned and gave
them each small. soft hand. "Fa-
ther has returned. SO l do not need
to keep you longer this evening"" she
told them with an impartially distrib-
uted smile. 1T was considerate OF
you to give me SO much Of your time,
and appreciate 1t. You must call
again. both of you-soon. Good night"
She released her hands and ran up
the steps. turning at the door to wave
them last farewell. They touched
their hats and turned away, March

That night was another miserable
one for Doris. In her sleep she seemed

the darkness was SO intense that she

Deathly horror and nausea overcame
her and she tried TO scream, but her
voice was paralyzed and no sound

nightmare. She could sleep no more

CHAPTER TX.
The Story Of North.

Some three hours later and by the
early moonlight the planes began to
straggle back. One by one, in twos
and small companies, they arose over
the crest again and settled softly
upon the ground at the place from
whence they had started, until all
were accounted for with the excep-
tion of North and his big blue Flyer
Those of the returned aviators who
had stuck the longest in the chase
reported that the last they had seen
of the missing one he was still In pur,
suit of the fugitive. flying swiftly and

taking the apparently exhaustless
creature that night, and as their ma.
chimes were beginning to suffer from
divers complaints as a result OF the
long. gruelling run, they had deemed
1t advisable to return for repairs while
yet they could, and also that they
might hold council of war as to what
they should do next. In regard to
North they expressed considerable
concern, the fate of Putnam being
still fresh In their minds. The dead
man had been as skillful as the best

tinct, apparently as fascinated by its
brightness as had he been an elk or

CR|TT[NDEN SELLS S350,000 IN BONDS
TAX RATE IS NOT RAISED
ABOUT HALF OF THE $50, 100000 ANNUAL INCOME WILL PAY
 FOR THE WORK.

Memphis, July 9-Crittenden coun- ty, Ark, has sold $350,O00 per cent bonds at par and interest, the pro ceeds of which will be used in bulld- ing the approach to the J. I. Hara- han bridge and roads in Crittenden county. The work will be completed when the bridge is open and on that date a man can ride an automobile across the bridge to Horseshoe Lake or Marion on the macadamized road.
 The route for the road from Marion to Memphis has been surveyed. The original intention was to have the road run from Marion to point south of the Iron Mountain railroad near the Rock Island tracks and then come into Memphis. This route was select ed because a number of people agreed to build about three miles of this road between the levee and the Hubert cutoff,
 The commissioners of Crittenden county today resolved in view of the attitude taken by some of those inter- ested, that they would build the road from Marion south to the Iron Noun tain railroad and come to the levee along or near the Iron Mountain right of way. This would abandon the pro- posed line out between the Rock Island and Iron Mountain railroads to the Hubert cutoff.
 The $35O,O00 worth of bonds will be taken up for the payment of the in- terest and in the calling of the bonds it will not be necessary to raise the tax rate. The assessed value of Crit tenden county property is now about S9,OOO,0O0. The road tax, with what is left from the general tax and the head tax for road purposes, will give to the county about $50,000 year. It will take about $24,000 of this money to pay the interest and retire the bonds. The balance can be used for extending roads throughout the coun- ty.
 Judge Thompson estimates that soon after the bridge is completed, the tax value of Crittenden county
