those holes in the air" so dreaded by
cloud-pilots-a in quest of a more
constant resistance the aviator was
swinging his craft in a wide northerIy

The earth soon lost all semblance of

the Seine vanished far on the left; re-
NAMED only the effect of firm suspen-
sion in that high, blue vault, of con-
tinuous flow of iced water on the face,
together with the tuneless chant of the
motor.
After some forty minutes more of
this-it may have been an hour, for
time was then an incalcuIab1e thing
Lanyard, in mood of abnormal sensi-
tiveness. began to divine some little
disquiet in the mind of the aviator,
and stared until he caught his eye.
What is it?" he screamed to the
other in futile effort to lift his voice
above the din
But the Frenchman understood, and
responded with a sweep of his arm to-
ward the horizon ahead And seeing
nothing but cloud in the quarter indi-
Gated, Lanyard began to grasp the ma
ture OF phenomenon which, from the
first, had been vaguely troubling him.
The reason why he had been able to
perceive no real rim to the world was
that the earth was all asteam from the
heavy rains of the last week; all the i
more remote distances were yelled
with rising vapor. And now they were

madame, my sincere regrets-but this
accusation happens to be one of which
I am altogether innocent
Instantly, from his passive pose,
Lanyard Strengthened up, and the
heavy brass and mahogany humidor
whereon his right hand had been rest
ing seemed fairly to leap from its
place on the desk as, with a sweep of
his arm, he sent it spinning point
blank at the younger sergent.
Before that one, wholly unprepared,
could more than gasp, it caught him a
blow like kick just below the breast
bone He reeled, and the breath left
him in one mighty gust; he sat down
abruptly-blue eyes wide with look
of aggrieved surprise both
hands to his middle, blinked, turned
pale, and kee1ed over on his side.
But Lanyard hadn't waited to note
results. He was too busy. The fat
sergent, with snarl, had leaped upon
his arm and was struggling to hold it
still long enough to snap a handcuff
round the wrist, while the commits
saire had started with below of rage
and two hands extended, itching, for
the adventurer's throat.
The first received a half-arm lab on
the point of his chin that Jared his
teeth, and without in the least under
standing how it happened, found him
self being whirled around and laid
PROSTATE in the commissaire's path
The latter tripped, fell and planted
two hard knees, with the bulk of his
weight atop them, on the zenith of the
sergent's rotundity.
At the same time Lanyard, leaping
toward the doorway, noticed that Popi-
not was Juggling at a revolver In his
hip pocket.

left. BY that telltaIe their course lay
nearly due northeast. Already the
weltering roofs of Paris were in sight
to the right, the EiffeI tower soaring
from them like fairy pillar of fine
gold lace-work. the Seine looping the
cluttered acres like a sleek Drown
snake
Versailles broke the horizon to port
and slipped astern Paris closed up,
telescoped it's panorama, became a
mere blur, a smoky smudge
But it was long before the distance
eclipsed that admonitory finger of the
Eiffel.
Vauquelin manipulating the levers,
the plane tilted its nose and swan
higher and yet higher. The song of
the motor dropped an octave to a rich
er tone. The speed was sensibly in
creased.
Lanyard contemplated with untem-
pered wonder the fact of his equanim-
ity-there seemed nothing at all
strange in this extraordinary expert
ence; he was by no means excited, re-
manned merely deeply interested. And
he could detect in his physical sensa-
lions no trace of that qualmish dread
he had always associated with high
places-the sense he now experienced
of security, of solidity, ever afterward
remained wholly unaccountable in his
understanding.
OF sudden, surprised by touch on
his arm, he turned to meet through the
mica windows of the wind-mask the
eyes of the aviator, Informed with an
expression of importunate doubt, quite
illegible. Assailed by sickening fear
lest something was going wrong with
the machine, Lanyard shook his head
to indicate want of comprehension.
Then. with an impatient gesture. the
aviator pointed downward.
Approaching the fact that speech
was impossible, Lanyard cIutched the
struts and bent forward. But the pace
was now SO fast and their elevation
so great that the landscape swimming
beneath his vision was no more than a
brownish plain fugitively maculated
with blots of contrasting color.
He looked up blankly, but only to
be treated to the same gesture.
Piqued, he concentrated attention
more closely upon the fat, streaming
landscape. And suddenly he recog-
nized something oddly familiar in the
bend of the Seine that was approach
ing.
St-Germain-en-Laye!" he exclaimed
with start of alarm.
This was the danger point.
"And over there he reminded him
self-''to the left-that wide field with
a queer white thing in the middle that
looks like winged grub-that must
be De Morbihan's aerodome and his
Valkyr monoplanei Are they bringing
it out? Is that what Vauquelin means?
And if so-what of it? 1 don't see."
A sudden doubt and wonder chilled
the adventurer.
Temporarily Vauquelin returned en-
tire attention to the management of

light switch. knocking it's porcelain
box from the wall, thus breaking the
connection and causing a short circuit
which extinguished every light in the
house.
With his way thus apparently
cleared, the police in confusion, dark
ness abetting him, Lanyard plunged
on; but in midstride, as he crossed the
threshold, his ankle was caught and
ierked from under him by the still
PROSTATE younger sergent.

him from below the window, threw
himself bodily down the steps and
away.
Three shots sped him through that
intricate tangle of the night-bound
park. But all flew wide; and the pur-
suit-what little there was-blundered
of at haphazard and lost itself.
He came to the wall, crept along in
shelter of it's deeper shadow until he

WEAKNESS was now heavy burden
upon him, and his spirit numbed with
desperate desire for rest; but his pace
did not flag nor his purpose falter
from its goal
1t was long walk to which he set
himself and, as soon as he felt conf
dent of freedom from espionage. a di-
rect one He plodded without falter-
ing to the one place where he could
feel sure of finding his beloved, If she
lived and were free He knew that
she had not forgotten, and in his heart
he knew that she would never again
of her own will fail him
Nor had she, when-weary and
spent from that heart-breaking climb
up the merciless ACTIVITY of the Butte
Montmartre-he staggered rather than
walked past the sleepy verger and
found his way through the crowding
shadows to the softly luminous heart
of the cathedral of the Sacre-Coeur,
and found her kneeling, her head bent
upon hands resting across the back of
the little chair before her, slight and
timid figure lost and lonely in the long
ranks of empty chairs that filed the
body of the nave.
Slowly. almost fearfu1ly, he went to
her. and silently slipped into the chair
by her side.
She knew. without looking up, that
it was he.
After a little her hand stole out to
his, closed round his fingers and drew
him forward with a gentle, insistent
pressure. He knelt then with her
hand in hand-filled with the wonder
Of 1t, that he to whom religion had
been nothing should have been brought
to this by the magic of q woman's
love. ~
He knelt for long time, for many
minutes, his somber gaze questioning
the golden shadows and the ancient
mystery of the farther choir and dis
tant shining altar-and there was no
more doubt in his heart but that, what
ever should ensue of this, the restless
spirit of the Lone Wolf was laid at
last
But in time he remembered how
urgent was-their plight; and remem-
bering, found courage to break in upon
her devotions.

diant face.

CHAPTER XXI.
Wings of the Morning.

About half past six Lanyard left the
dressing room assigned him in the bar
racks at Port Aviation and, wadd1ing
quantity in the heavy wind-proof gar
ments provided at the instance of Du-
croy, made his way between two hang
ars to the practice ED
Now the eastern skies were pulsing
htfully with promise of dawn; but
within the vast Enclosure of the aero
dome the gloom of night fingered so
stubbornly that two huge searchlights
had been pressed into the service of
those engaged in tuning up the motor
of the Parrot biplane.
In their intense, white, concentrated
glare-that rippled oddly upon the
wr1nkled, oily garments of the dozen
or so mechanics busy about the ma
chine-the under sides of those wide,
motionless planes hung against the
dark with an effect of impermanence-
as though they were already afioat
and needed but breath to send them
winging skyward.
At one side a number of young and
keen-faced Frenchmen, officers of the
corps, were lounging, overlooking the
preparations with alert and intelligent
interest
On the other, all the majesty of Mars
was incarnate in the rotund person of
NJ. Ducroy, porIng valiantly in fur
lined coat and shining top-hat while
he chatted with an officer of tall, ath-
letic figure who wore an air of uncom-
mon efficiency together with his await
ing uniform
AS Lanyard drew near, this man
brought his heels together smartly,
saiuted the minister of war and strobe
of toward the flying machine.
Captain Vauquelin informs me he

are just in time
And mademoiselle?" the adventurer
asked, peering anxiously around
Almost Immediately the girl came
forward from the shadows with a smile
apologetic for the strangeness of her
attire
She had donned, over her street
dress, simple leather garment which
enveloped her completely and but
toned tight round wrists and ankles.
Her small hat, too, had been replaced
by a leather helmet-cap which left
only her eyes, nose, mouth and chin
exposed, and even these were soon to
be hidden by a heavy veil for protec-
ton against scattering oil.
"Mademoiselle is not nervous-eh?"
Ducroy inquired politely.
Lucy smiled brightly.
Il? Why should be, monsieur"
Il trust mademoiselle will permit me
to commend her courage. Pardon! /

the chief of police has to do is to

An Editor Changes Color
When the fight came, G. B. Blethen,
editor of the Seattle Times, stood by
the liquor interests, but as soon as
he saw the victory for the drys was
one of the best things that ever hap
pened in Seattle, he promptly came
over to the right side. In a recent
issue of his paper he devotes eight
columns to a review of the situation.
He says, among other things:

Of the species found in the sound
country, not including the water fowl:
crow, common robin, swamp robin,
house wren, swamp wren, song spar

lark, junkoo (snow bird), towhee
black bird, chickadee, kinglet, wood
pecker (ficker), downy woodpecker,

quail, sparrow hawk, blue jay, red

The Alaska robin often comes to
Washington to winter, returning to
the midnight sun country to nest.
The bluejay of Washington is lit
tie darker in color than the Wiscon-
sin bird, yet fills the office of police
man of the wood. OF him the late
poet, James Whitcomb Riley, approp-
riately wrote:
'Mr. Bluejay full o'sass,
In the base ball clothes o'his,
Sportin' round the orchard jes'

many varieties as in Wisconsin. Gil

young birds are almost ready to care
for themselves, and when insects are
plentiful, they are placed on farms
and soon adapt themselves to the new
state. The dog and gun come a lit

males of some species add not a little
to the glory Of the woodland.
While at Kirkland, Washington, we
met ]. G. Bartsch, a former resident
of Sank City and well known in Bar
aboo years ago. He came from Swift
zerland with G. Thurer of Baraboo in
1866, and asked kindly for the friend
who crossed the Atlantic with him.
Mr.. Bartsch was a contractor in Sank

among them being the German Evan
gelical church in Baraboo. He moved
to Kansas in 1879 and to kirkland.
