And, its propeller no longer gripping

At this, rousing, Lanyard became
aware of his own voice yammering
wildly at Vauquelin:

that?"
VauqueIin answered only with pale
grimace and barely perceptible
shrug.

But presently Lanyard became aware

half-frozen hands and feet.

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
mot possibly hear him.
The eyes of the aviator, lifting from
the perforation to meet Lanyard s
stare, were clouded with consterna-
ton.
Then VauqueIin swerved quickly in
his seat and looked back. InvOluntar-

CHAPTER XXI.
The Flying Death.


Steadying himself with a splendid
display of self-control and downright
courage, Captain Vauquelin concen-
trated 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-
hor and dismay had been audible to
himself exclusively. Hearing nothing,
Lucy suspected hothing.
Again Lanyard looked back.
Now the Valkyr seemed to have
crept up to within a quarter of a mile
OF the biplane. and was boring on at a
tremendous pace, it's single spread of
wings on an approximate level with
that Of the upper plane of the Parrott.
But this last was rising steadily.
The drivers seat of the Valkyr was
occupied by muffled, burIy figure that
might be anybody-De Morbihan, Elk
strom, or any other homicidal maniac
AT the distance its actions were as
illegible as their results were unoues-
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 firearm 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 a long, ragged tear in
the canvas of the plane, caused by a
bullet striking it aslant.
What's 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-
