This is not the hopeful dream OF
a fictionist. but the expectation OF
one of Americas foremost aeromau.
tic experts following reports from
London that on Monday afternoon
British airman rose vertically in
a helicopter 1000 feet, flew around
for half an hour and descended
vertically TO the exact spot from
which he ascended.
Col. II. e. Hartney. who was a
commander of the First Pursuit
Group of the A. E. F. air service
and appointed Capt Edward Rick.
enbacker commander OF the famous
Hat Ring Squadron. and who
is now secretary of the National
Aeronautic Association, said today
that IL the dispatches from Lon.
don are correct flying will almost
Immediately be revolutionized and
made common.
News Called Amazing.
THE news from London is most
amazing" ne said. The British
Air Ministry has for some time
had a standing offer OF s250.0
for the first practical helicopter
and aeronautical engineers the
world over have oeen working for
years on the problem of combined
vertical and horizontal flight. At
least, three in this country have
approached the solution, the late
Professor Langley was, l believe,
the fisrt practical experimenter in
the United States.
The greatest handicap to com.
mercial aviation so far has been
the necessity for landing fields OUT.
side the crowded cities and at rrc.
hibitive distances from the business
districts. For instance, II takes one
almost as long to get from LonE
| Island to downtown New York as
il does to fly from Washington II
Long Island, where the plane must
land unless II is a hydroaeroplane.
Landing fields have had to eu.
brace a considerable acreage tu
permit the swift rolling start and
the diagonal landing at high speed.
A successful helicopter, able to rise
VERTICALLY, fly in any direction, and
descend vertically to any given spot.
would make such fields at long
distances from the business districts
unnecessary.
Would End Danger.
There would be no danger from
engine trouble in landing a prac.

ing! She wrote another letter, and
almost urged him to come back
Gloria meantime, worked hard dur
ing the days, wedging In, as usual, an
enormous amount OF social activity.
The English woman, Mrs. Clarke, who
had taken fancy to Pan, asked them
to dinner-Pan often went out with
Santley and Gloria, and often decided
to stay at the hotel alone, so they
could be together. AS the days pass
ed, they began staying in themselves,
sitting in Gloria's little living room af-
ter dinner while Santley smoked and
watched Gloria, and Gloria chartered.
The only tactful thing Pan could
think of doing, was to go to bed-as
there was only one living room and
she wanted to leave them alone
There were long periods when she
could hear only Gloria's voice, run
ming along with quick fire of comment
and gossip she did so well-and some
times long periods of silence.
Once when she could not sleep, she
heard, after a silence and a low ques-
ton by Santley:
my dear, my dear, when you came
it vas all right"
And silence-and she knew then that
they were in love and had acknowL
edged it. Gloria's attempt at simple
friendliness was over-Santley's little
annoyed defense against her attitude
was over. The girl--who was always
vague and had existed mostly in Clio
ria's imagination-did not enter into
their lives at all.
Yet next morning Gloria breakfast
ed and left without saying a word.
But that afternoon she came with
Santley. Her eyes were laughing, but
her mouth, while it laughed too, was
tender.
"We're going to dessert you for ii
few days." she said. I'VE were mar.
ried an hour ago"
And Pan felt both dismay and happi-
ness.

AN EXCITING EVENT
Chapter "a

So Pan wrote to George.
But she had to think of a reason to
write, without giving him the real one.
1t seemed odd to her that it was neces-
sary to go through much of life in
venting reasons for doing things, the
doing Of which was amply justified by
the reasons that existed! 1t didn't in
the least agree with the principals OF
her honest, straight forward little soul
But she recognized that she couldn't
sit down and say that Santley was In
London, and here was warning to
George!

and falsehood. It's neither one nor the

not know that
AS soon as possible after Mr.. Gates
death, he went to New York. We must
have passed in mid-ocean-isn't that
odd? Anyway, he found Gloria's bank

found her hotel when he came back.
He looks exactly like his pictures, only

how she could end this warning grace.

She sat for long time puZzling, a
slim little child figure, with the light
on her smooth brown hair and the
small thin hands that had worked so
hard-and still showed traces of it.
she was Still sitting there, but rather
thinking of George than of her letter.
when the door opened and Gloria came
in
SO she wrote hastily:
When do you expect to come back?
We miss you" and sealed her letter as
Gloria slipped off her cape.
1T was most amusing, really an ex.
cellent plot for farce" Gloria said.
What was it about?" Pan always
wanted to know the plots of the plays
Gloria saw.
But Gloria seemed rather vague
about it. No farce ever has a coherent
plot. too much depends upon minute
details. But Gloria's description was
quite understandable.
The letter went, but there was no
answer. Pan waited a week-and wor-
ried
Then she received a post card from
Dijon-"Glad you are enjoying your
self. Love, George"
The new address accounted for the
delay-the message may or may not
have been in answer to her letter.
She couldn't tell, so went on worry.
