20, Anne, just think! There may be
terrible accident"
All thought of the coronation had al
ready left her mind. l could hardly
keep pace with her as we hurried
along the streets towards the railway
station. And all the way down in the
train she talked necessarily of the
spectacle in prospect and asked me
countless questions. We arrived at
the grounds just as the competition
opened and obtained seats in the very
first row of the grand stand. The clerk
wanted to put US somewhere at the
back, but when pleaded with him he
changed his mind.
However did you get such perfect
seats?" asked Estelle as we found our
selves with an unobstructed view Of
the field.

lightly.
What's that?" she said.

Estelle did not reply. She was look
ing intently at the great machines
which were being carried out of their
sheds and placed at various starting
points upon the field. There was huge
monoplane in front of US, which we
could see quite plainly. Its driver, a
tall, good-looklng man in gray and
blue, with a pair of intensely pene-
trating eyes and a calm smile, was
seating himself in the machine, ready
for flight, and looking as quiet and col
lected as though his enterprise we're a
thing of no consequence. While I
watched him, breathless with excite
ment, somebody must have given
signal, for suddenly saw his huge
machine run a little way along the
course and then, with swift, gliding
movement, suddenly rise into the air
and wing its way around the field.
"O," gasped Estelle, clutching my
arm. "O!"-as the driver made cir
cult and whirled past us, the wind
from the pinions almost sweeping our
faces-"isn't he fandsome!"
Her words made me quite cross.
Don't be so silly, Estelle," 1 an
swered. Then, inspired by some ma
licious spirit, 1 asked:
