eXecutioner, with quick upward
glance at the now diminishing bal
loon, hailed an officer and spoke
rapidly.

The latter listened and nodded ap-
proval, and while the astenished
Harry looked on an aeroplane was
wheeled from its hangar and the cap
tain was offering heavy coats and
gloves to both the exscutioner and
himself.
"Ready?" shouted the captain to
the two passengers, then climb In"
he said cheerfully. Wen be on In q
minute"
The exeeutioner and Harry, looking
like mufned mummies, settled them
selves in their seats, the captain gave
the word and pulled q lever. The
great machine started like a monster
bird, ran along the ground, and then,
as gracefully as an eagle, began to
mount. In a few minutes the little
village lay below, a mere speck. The
wind whistled as the big machine
gathered headway.
The executioner pointed as the
aeroplane passed over the house In
which Perry Mason had planned and
executed the diabolioal deed to get
rid Of the girl who had discovered his
terrible searet.
Inside that house the murderer was
experiencing some Of the trembling
torebodings that follow like blood
hounds on the trail OF q guilty con-
science. Perry Mason walked UP and
down trying to steady his nerves with
numerous cigarettes. Into his soIl-
tude came the negro servant, whose
knowledge of the crime had so worked
upon him that he could hnd no rest.

was faint; she was weary; she was
thirsty; and yet such Is the hope that

Across her mind rushed like q pano-

fore her. She saw Mustapha Bey read
ing her letter. she saw him kneel and
thank Allah for his mercies, for abe

had been his own flesh and blood.
Suddenly this scene dissolved and she

1T required only few Apmsnts for
the skilled aviator to get his machine
into action, and as he SCARED away he
saw the negro on his knees praying, his
hands raised toward the moon.
Perry Mason, spurrsd on by the grim
necessity OF outWitting his enemies, rose
to . thousand foot height the better to
gain an idea Of the direction taken by
the would-be rescuers OF lima For he
felt sure that such was the mission of
the aeroplane after hearing the phrase
repeated by his servant.
He hoped that before the arrival of
the plane the acid which he had poured
on the rope would have eaten through
and thus severed the girl from the bal
loon. Her death would then be a GER
tainty. A little nervously he noted that
the wind had fallen. He had calculated
that lima would be swept to sea and
dropped into the ocean where the
chances were ten thousand to one
against her being saved. Now, however.
new danger faced him, the slackening
wind meant that the progress Of the
balloon would be retarded and that the
girl might fall into some village or some
where where her body would be found.
Inevitably the rope about her would lead
to an investigation, and with the evident
knowledge Of his crime possessed by the
men in the aeroplane his own neck would
not be safe for an instant
He had everything to gain therefore

HOW UNKIND TO HATS!
Some Sailed, Some Floated. Some Vol
planed, Some Spiraled-All Flew.

Lots of folk, both sexes, won't have
to buy any more hats for months to
come.
Once upon a time somebody wrote
something about 1t being an i'll wind
that blew no good-or something like
that.
He must have been busy thinking
about the Inauguration.
Because 1t didn't make much differ
ence which way you looked yesterday
YOU could see a hat doing a personif-
cation of an aviator. Sometimes the
hat would volplane: sometimes II would
spiral: sometimes 1t would just float
But always 1t flew.
Lots of men got mighty good and
mand at their wives yesterday because
they didn't wear more hatpins. Others
got still madder at themselves because
they couldn't wear any at all.
Down near Twelfth street and Penn
sylvania avenue a little woman, who
really didn't look old enough 10 be

hat she had bought, as her husband
reminded her, just two days before.

Hold Up Slav Relief
Pending the Outcome.

Washington. Nov l0.--lirst official
news of the Russian upheaval came to
the government today from American
Amba ssador Francis, but added nothing
to the news dispatches OF the last
three days and gave state department
officials nothing on which TO form
judgments as to the course of the
United States.
II was made plain that the United
States can have no dealings with the
Maximafists unless they attain the
proportions of u party in de faeto con-
troll of the country. The Russian en- :
hassy here disclaiming that the Bol-
sheviki represent Russia. announced in
a format declaration that II would not
respect any actions the Lcnine gov
ernmcnt might take.
The immediate question before
American officials is TO what extent
credits already extended to the ker-
ensky government may be used For
the benefit of those who may oppose
the allied cause in the war, Officials
who would have charge OF stoppine
shipments OF supplies TO Russia were
silent when asked to indicate thcil
course.
There seems to be no doubt. however
that the vast quantities Of material
being manufactured here for Russia
will not be permitted to leave tho
country if it is apparent they are go
ing 10 fail into the hands Of thos'
disposed to make "a separate peac,
with Germany.
The hope of the United states and
Russian officials here turn to the pos =
sibility that the conservative element
of Russia. with the cossacks of the
Ukraine. will consolidate to set up J,
government representative to all Rus
sia. although civil war may be the re-
suit.
Meanwhile. 1t is believed that tho
German possession of Hclsingfors anG
the Aland islands making possible
Teutonic occupation of Petrograd
opens the way for a display of tho
real intentions of the Bolsheviki ole
ment and will show whether it's tri
umph has been tho fruit OF German
intrigue or whether its spirit is truly
Russian.
