Patton and his men left the camp in

they sprang directly from their cars
into the fight, putting the encounter in
a class by itself.
Four Mexicans were skinning beef

distance of $50 yards was shot dead by
Lieutenant Patton. This was found to

Vauquelin was holding out an arm
and staring at it incredulously; Lam
yards gaze focused upon the same
spot-a ragged perforation in the
sleeve of the leather surtout, just
above the elbow.
What is it?" he inquired stupidity,
forgetting again that the other could
not possibly hear him.
The eyes of the aviator, lifting from
the perforation to meet Lanyard
stare, were clouded with consterna-
4ion.
Then Vauquelin swerved quickly in
his seat and looked back Involuntar-
lily he ducked his head. Simultaneous
lily something slipped whining past
Lanyard's cheek, touching his flesh
with touch more chill than that of
the icy air itself.
'Damnation!" he shrieked, almost
hysterically. "That madman in the
Valkyr is firing at us!"

void, they swept down and ever down
in a long series of sickening swoops,
broken by pauses of negligible dura-
ton. And though they approached it
on a long slant, the floor Of vapor rose
to meet them with the rapidity of a
mighty, rushing wave; and in a trice
the biplane was lowering an instant
before plunging down into its cold,
gray heart.
In that fash Of hesitation, while still
the adventurer gasped for breath and
paved at his streaming eyes with an
aching hand, pierced through and
through with cold, the fog showed it.
self as something less substantial
than it had seemed; blurs Of color
peered through its folds of gauze, and
with these the rounded summit Of a
brownish knoll.
Then they 1unged on, down out Of
the bleak, bright sunshine into the
cool twilight depths of clinging va
pOrs; and the good green earth lifted
its warm bosom to receive them.
fitting it's nose, futtering as though
undecided, the Parrott settled grace
fully, with scarcely jar, upon a wide
sweep Of untitled land covered with
short, coarse grass.
For some time the three remained in
their perches like petrified things,
quite moveless, and-with the possible
exception of the aviator hardly con-
SciOus.
But presently Lanyard became aware
that he was regularly filing his lungs
with air, sweet, damp, wholesome. and.
by comparison, warm, and that the
blood was tingling painfully in his
half-frOzen hands and feet.
He sighed as one waking from a
strange dream and looked round.
At the same time the aviator be-
stirred himself and began a bit stif1y
to climb down from his place.
Feeling the earth beneath his feet,
he took step or two away from the
machine, Keeling and stumbling like a
drunken man, then turned back.
Come, my friend!" he urged Ian
yard in a voice Of strangely normal
intonation- .look alive-if you're able
and lend me hand with mademos-

And, in fact, the girl was reclining
inertly in the bands Of webbing, her
eyes closed, her mouth ajar, her limbs
SIackened.

and trying not to give way to deadly
sickness when, of a sudden and with
out any warning whatever, the stem
torian chant of the motor ceased and
was bIotted out by that immense
silence of those vast solitudes Of the
upper air, where never sound is
heard save the voices Of the elements
at war among themselves silence
that rang with an accent as dreadful
as il it were the very crack of doom.
And, its propeller no longer gripping
the air, the aeroplane drifted on at
ever-lessening speed, until at length
it had no way whatever, and rested
without motion Of any sort, as it might
have been in the cup of some mighty
and invisible hand.
Then, with little shudder Of hesita-
ton, the planes dipped forWard-i11-
clined slightly earthWard-and began
slowly, and at first, as If reluctantly,
to slip down the long and empty chan

At this, rousing, Lanyard became
aware Of his own voice yammering
wildly at Vauquelin:
"Good God. man! Why did you do
that?"
Vauquelin answered only with pale
grimace and barely perceptible
shrug.
Momentarily gathering momentum,
the biplane sped downward with q re-

CHAPTER XXI.
The Flying Death.

The Flying Death.
Steadying himself with splendid
display of self-control and downright
courage, Captain Vauquelin concen-
4rated upon the management of the BIZ
plane.
The drone of his motor thickened
again, its speed became greater and
the machine began to rise still higher,
tracing a long graceful curve.
Lanyard glanced apprehensively to-
ward the girl, but she continued in ap-
parent Inconsistencies that anything
was happening out of the ordinary.
Her profile still looked forward, and
still the wind-veil trembled against her
burning cheeks.
Thanks to the racket of the motor,
no audible reports had accompanied
the sharpshooting of the man in the
monoplane, while Lanyard's cry of hOr-
nor and dismay had been audible to
Glimself exclusively. Hearing nothing,
Lucy suspected nothing.
I Again Lanyard looked back.
Now the Valkyr seemed to have
Ercrept up to within quarter of a mile
Erof the biplane, and was boring on at a
tremendous pace, its single spread Of
wings on an approximate level with
that Of the upper plane of the Parrot.
But this last was rising steadily.
The drivers seat of the Valkyr was
occupied by muf1ed, burly figure that
might be anybody-De AIorbihan, Elk
'stroms or any other homicidal maniac.
AT the distance its actions were as
Illegible as their results were unques-
tionable. Lanyard saw a little tongue
of flame lick out from point close be-
side the head of the figure-he couldn' t
distinguish the frearm itself-and,
like Vauquelin, quite without premedi-
tation, he ducked.
simultaneously there sounded a
hard, ripping noise Immediately
above his head, and he found himself
staring up at long, ragged tear in
the canvas of the plane, caused by a
bullet striking it aslant.
Whats to be done?" he screamed
passionately to Vauquelin.
But the aviator only shook his head; ;
and they continued to ascend rapidly;
already the web of gold that cloaked
earth and sea seemed thrice as far be-
meath them as it had been at the mo-
ment when Vauquelin made the ap-
