direction Of the palace, which lay in
the route which 1 must take to reach
Helium.
AS we neared the high tower a pa

Its piercing searchlight full upon my
craft, and a voice roared out a COM
mand to halt, following with shot az

Kan dropped quickly into the dark
ness, while 1 rose steadily and at ter
rife speed raced through the Marian
sky followed by a dozen of the air
scout craft which had Joined the pur-
suit, and later by a swift cruiser car
rying hundred men and battery OF
rapid-fire guns. By twisting and turn
ing my little machine, now rising and
now falling, 1 managed to elude their
searehlights most of the time, but I
was also losing ground by these tao
tics, and so decided to hazard every
thing on a straight-away course and
leave the result to fate and the speed
of my machine.
Kantos Kan had shown me a trick
of gearing, which Is known only to the
navy of Helium, that greatly increased
the speed OF our machines. so that I
felt sure could distance my pursuers
II could dodge their projectiles for
few moments.
Gradually left my pursuers further
and further behind. and was just con-
graduating myself on my lucky escape,
when well-directed shot from the
cruiser exploded at the prov of my
little craft. TPS concussion nearly
capsized her, and with e s!ckening
plunge she hurtled downward through

scanned the heavens for my pursuers,
and finally making out their lights far
behind me, saw that they were land
ing, evidently In search of me.
Not until their lights were no longer
discernible did I venture to flash my
little lamp upon my compass, and then
l found to my CONSERVATION that a
fragment of the projectile had utterly
destroyed my only guide, as well as
my speedometer. 1t was true l could
follow the stars in the general direc-
