the only armament she carried
though it Is only justice to say that
the firing seemed intended rather to
confirm the panic than to do further
injury.
While making these observations
was standing in front OF the Hotel
LaSaile, my back pressed close
against the wall to avoid being swept
away by the terrified throng. AS the
aeroplane swooped down, however
found myself left alone, solitary
spectator; for the movement OF the ar
craft toward the earth had the effect
OF driving the crowd from the imme-
diate vicinity in a fresh access or
terror. Poised above the roofs of the
buildings, as q humming bird poises
above a flower, the great aeroplane
was almost motionless. From port
hole of the car, which ! could now
plainly see, a rope ladder was
dropped to the street and down It a
dozen men came swarming, with
rifles slung across their shoulders.
They were dressed in khaki, like sol
diers, wore black masks over their
faces, and moved with precision
which bespoke definite plans and
something akin to military discipline.
Not needing or perhaps not noticing
me where / stood pressed against the
wall, four of them--one OF whom, a
man of herculean build, appeared to
be the leader--stood guard at the bot
tom of the ladder, while the others,
separating into two squads of four
each, made for the two banks on
either side OF the street. A few mo-
ments later they returned bearing
canvas bags evidently filled with
specie. A rope. was now flung from
the car and the bags we're drawn up
under the superintendent OF the four
guards at the bottom Of the ladder;
while the other two squads, now
united, marched down the street TO
two other banks in the immediate
vicinity. IN less than half an hour
they returned, loaded with specie as

before, apparently having met with
no more opposition than they had en-
countered in the first two banks loot
ed. The additional booty was drawn
up to the car, the men scrambled up
the ladder, the ladder itself was
drawn up, and in less than an hour
after her first appearance the pirate
craft was a mere speck against the
blue. Watching her as she scared
aioft. judged that she must have
reached an altitude of at least six or
seven thousand feet when she turned
southward and with an incredible
burst of speed disappeared.
No resistance had been offered: in
deed, resistance had not even been
thought of, such was the terror in
spired by the bombs, combined with
the pirates armament Of machine
guns and the holiness and discipline
of her crew. IF any, like myself, had
entertained wild thoughts of making
stand against them, they also had
been deferred by the seeming impos-
sibility of securing any cooperation.
Leaving my post in front of the Hotel
LaSalle as soon as the pirate craft
had disappeared, and making my
way through the panic-stricken
throng, I supplemented what I had
seen of the disaster with such state
ments as could secure from hysteri-
cal bank employees and one or two
other persons who had been eye-wit-
nesses of the explosions, and then
hurried away to the office of The
Courier.

CHAPTER II.
A Plan of Campaign.


Just as reached the Courier build
ing big limousine dashed up to the
curb. large. powerful looking man
alighted from it, and found myself
face to face with George Armstrong,
the Courier's owner. His greeting
was characteristic:
Hello, Baldwin, you're just in time.
I was going to wire you If you had not
returned. Where were you when the
attack took place."
over in La Sale street, sir l saw
the whole affair
Good, goodl So much the betterl
Write up your story at once and bring
it to me in my office. l may have an
assignment to offer you, if you care
to undertake it, that will make the
greatest newspaper story in the last
fifty years"
AS he was speaking we had entered
the building, Armstrong going direct
to his private Office and to the city
room. As he left me 1 heard him say
to an Office boy: "Send Mr.. Winthrop
to me at once"
Half an hour later / entered the
chiefs sanctum with my copy in my
hand. Armstrong was sitting behind
his big desk in the middle of the
room, while at one end of it sat Lam
QOn w Ltl0 dSSOCIalG C01lOIf
drumming on the mahogany top with
his fingers.
A greater contrast than that pre-
sented by these two men could
scarcely be imagined. Armstrong.
big, burly, bluff, broad of forehead,
resolute of jaw, the very type and
ideal of physical and mental force;
Winthrop, small, wiry, alert, one Of
the keenest intellects and at the same
time one of the most adaptive I have
ever known; he welded a pen at once
trenchant and subtle-trenchant in
logic, subtle, nay, sometimes vitriolic,
in wit. The alliance between these
two men made the Courier a distinc-
tive and wholesome force in Journal
ism. handed my copy to Armstrong,
who, first motioning me to sit down,
glanced through it rapidly and then
reached over and touched button on
his desk.
Give this to the city editor.'' he
said to the Office boy who answered
the bell
| must confess that my reportorial
vanity was little bit piqued at his
failure to make any comment. for it
was an eyewitness story written in
my best style--I always write best
under pressure-and supplemented by
the results of the inquiries l had made
before leaving the scene. In the
Northwestern National Bank an usher
had been killed-shot down when he
attempted resistance; in the Globe
State the cashier had been wounded:
il the Chemical Commercial all specie
and securities had been placed in the
vaults before the bandits reached the
scene, and the cashier had been shot
down for refusing to open at the
pirates command. while the assistant
cashier had saved his life only by
compliance; in all four of the banks
looted the clerks and officers had
yielded only to display of over
whelming force, backed, as they well
knew, by still greater power. 1t was
a. comprehensive story, written by the
only newspaper man, as it happened,

CHAPTER 1.
The Sky Watchers.

Tommy, my boy, did you ever see
"a lovelier sight than that?''
81 For Billy Grahame to address me
ns Tommy, my boy was distinctly
an impertinence; in the old days
when we had been roommates at old
Nassau l should have made him SEN
sible of the fact by laying him on the
floor and sitting upon him, or smoth-
ering him with a pillow until he man
aged to gasp out a muffled "Lemme
mp, you big leviathan, [ won't do it
again-untiI next time"--the latter
part of the sentence usually when he
had scrambled to his feet and was out
of reach. Under the present circum-
stancess however, ! merely turned
upon him the contemptuousz glance
with which six feet two is Won't to re-
gard five feet six. Some years had
elapsed since the pillow smothering
days, and while Billy had not in
creased a single line in physical stat
( nre he had grown most notably in
fame and fortune; even |, his old col
8 lege chum, could scarcely presume to
manhandle one of the most famous
and daring air pilots in the world as
II had done the undergraduate of old
Nassau.
Billy grinned-the same old Billy in
spite of fame and fortune.
You big leviathan," he remarked,
II know what you are thinking about.
but you can't play rough house and
watch the sky at the same time; so
just take a look at that moonrise and
tell me, upon your aesthetic con-
science, did you ever behold a sight
more lovely?"
Billy was right; never had the i'm
agination of poet or painter conjured
up a scene more weirdly beautiful.
a, n.y. fxUC q ohnUa tho
horizon, floated like a broken disk
of silver low down in the eastern
sky; a few long, narrow banks Of
cloud-remnants of the evenings
thunder storm-obscuINd now and
again the shining shield. which then,
floating free of them, flooded the
mountains with eerie light. Below
the green-carpeted platform on which
we stood, shadowy glens and black
ravines and pine-clad slopes lay ST.
lent and mysterious, while far away
two thousand feet below, the Cum
berland lay like q river of silver flow
ing through an enchanted land. Above
US the turquoise dome of the sky was
studded here and there with diamond
stars. At the northern end of our
mountain platform stood, like a
mighty sentinel, a single giant pine
that had braved perhaps, the storms
of a century. A couple OF hundred
feet or SO farther back our swift
winged aeroplane rested like q gigan-
tic dragon fly. its wings agleam in
the silvery light.
While I, leaning with my bark
against a huge moss-covered bowlder.
surveyed and admired the beauty of
the scene, Billy climbed to the top
of the rock and swept the heavens
with his binoculars. Gle had a habit
of always mounting on top of any
stump or stone which might happen
