Mitchell FIELD, y. r.. October
27.-The peak OF dare -deviltry in
aeronautics was reached yesterday by
First Lieut.. NJ. L. Elliott, who not
only flew upside down on "a straight
away course for a half mile, but hung
by safety belt for the benefit of
photographers. The stunt was per-
formed in treacherous wind and
produced frequent thrills that brought
shudders even to callous= Army air
men.
The topsy-turvy record topped off
a series Of other daring feats by
Lieut.. Elliott. One of these was to
describe the figure IS" while flying
upside down in the same treacherous
gale. Several loops and weird bank
ing maneuvers also were executed.
The most Lieut. Elliott could get out
of the little Sperry messenger in
making the figure IS" was sixty-fiye
miles an hour. A thirty@flve- mile
wind increased the velocity Of fight.
Capt. Charles Nungesser,. French
flying ace, ran across the aeld and
was the first to wiring Lieut.. .Elliott's
hand.
"If ! am the French ace." he said,
you are the American ace. / have
never seen such daring flying before"

FERRARA. Italy. October 81
Ruins of an entire ancient city,
believed to antedate the Romans
by perhaps a thousand years. have
been discovered near here. More
than q hundred tombs have been
uncovered, together with the re-
mains OF a number of persons
buried In them.
There are traces also of an i'm

are being placed together in an ef-
fort to decipher the markings and
trace the origin Of the city. Wear
ing apparel and numerous Jewels
ana vases with elaborate artistic
designs resembling Greek forms
were found in the tombs
Some experts point out that it
may have been an Etruscan city,
the language of which is still un-
known, as no traces are left to
form sufficient material as a basis
for translation. Others believe it
TO be the ancient town of Spina.

Of twenty or thirty feet, has been u1-

This became known with the an
nouncement by Prof. Hyde that ex-
cavations for remains of fish which
lived in the ocean that covereu the
vicinity of Cleveland centuries ago
have been in p.ogress since May by
the Cleveland Museum of Natural
History.
One fish. found entire, is species
OF shark six feet long. Prof. Hyde
said. A dozen fossils of other varie-
tise of fish, almost all of them entire,
also have been uncovered and taken
to the museum, which. he said. when
tho work is completed. will have one
OF the largest exhibitions of these
rare specimens.
The six-foot head belonged to a
type known as the Tipanichthys Cor

Prof. Hyde said The fish lived and
died In what biologists call the De-
vonian period of the earth's geologi-
cal history and was the largest ami
NAL that ever lived upon the face of
the earth up to that time-20, 200. 900
to 10000. 900 years ago. T.

Hyde said. "and there is nothing liv-

Sir William told of the 40 years

GOV the resemblance persisted. He felt that his forehead had grown very cold.
 And who is this, Hillton?" he asked, wondering if the servant would notice the resemblance
 "That is your great-grandfather, whose name was John Ovington, like your name" said Hilton, forgetting his uneasiness as he talked. "He was the strangest of all the Ovingtons, for he rode away one day and never came back, and that is the last peo- pie ever heard of him. And all that was many and many years ago. So long. that my father could not remember"
 He led the way to the window and drew aside the curtains, loosing a cloud of chok- ing dust. Outside the moon glimmered on the garden terraces, which stepped down to a tree-covered hollow, but the other side of the valley rose dark and steep, with great square house topping it.
 That is the Jeryan house," said Hilton, sand his pointing hand trembled in the moon light "That is the house where Beatrice Jervan lived, who was the sweetheart of our John Ovington in those old days, but John Ovington went across the and fought in France. So when he came back Beatrice loved him no longer, and they say that he would have forced her to marry him, for he was a stark fierce man; but she fled away in the night with another man. And John Ovington waited for them at forking of the Newbury road as they fled on their horses. He stopped them and would have made them turn back, but the man drew horse pistol and shot him through the shoulder and rode with Beatrice Jervan, and God knows what be- came of them both. We only know that into the Jervan family, and now there is a Beatrice Jervan over there again in that house-and over here'--he laughed tremulously in the moonlight-'is a John Ovington again.
 "Well when the man rode with Beat rice that other John Ovington rose up from the road where he had fallen and called after them: I have failed this time, but I shall not fail twice. l shall come again. 1 shall wait for you in this place, Beatrice Jervan, and carry you away with me for ever.'
 But that he never did, for shortly after ward he went and took ship in Boston har- bor and went across the sea to other coun- tries. And he was your great-grandfather. All that he left was his picture on the wall

)Ot l [\ TN HE old servant stopped and faced
 him. The light from the candle he
 carried flickered across his bald head as he nodded wonderngly, and John Owing ton hardly repressed a smile.
 "You are quite sure you were never in the house before?" asked Hilton.
 "No," said Ovington, "I was never be- fore here, but somehow it seems to me that a big amber-colored vase with black fig ures tracing down the sides should stand by that window. It's just fancy, but rather unusual in its clearness."
 "The Ovingtons are an unusual family, sir, said Hilton, and he raised his candle so that it's light fell more fully on the sternly carven face of his new master. After this moments scrutiny he shook his head as one who gives up problem.
 "A vase like the one you speak of stood there ever since the house was built, but last week Mrs. Worth broke it while she was cleaning the room, Every week l have the rooms cleaned sir, but for the past year they have never been used none except the kitchen and MT. Ovingtons bedroom, where he lay sick for so long"
 And died?" said Ovington.
 And died, sir He wouldn't trust anyone save me. 1 wrote the letter which brought you here, and l signed it for him."
 'I shall never forget that letter." said Ovington. "And that is the room where I sleep now?"
 "The master has always slept in that room since the family came here to live he answered. "Now I think you have seen the whole house, MT. Ovngton.'
 But isn't there room behind those folding doors?" asked Ovington.
 "That is the library, and it hasn't been opened these past fifteen years. Fifteen dreary years, sir. 1t must be fearful thick with dust.''
 And why has it been closed all this time?"
 That was the time when young Master Ovington died, and since then the master couldn't bear to go into that room. For the family pictures hang there, and he couldn't stand to look them, he having lost his heir. The family name ended with the lawyers that we traced the line to you, sir, through your great-grandfather John Ovington the man who disappeared"
 "So I understand" said Ovington. 'But let's have a look at the room" Hilton drew in his wrinkled lips anx- iously.

 '1'm sure I dislike confessionals."
 "It is rather hard,' he said at last.
 "What is hard?"
 "To play against fate and to come into the play with the stage set against me-"
 'I don't understandp'
 But watching those gripping fingers she did understand, and the shaking of the fountain counted out the waiting seconds until he spoke again.
 "It would have been so easy in any other setting," he said. "For instance, I might have seen you first at tea table, saying the silly things that go with tea"
 q hate tea,'' she said fervently
 "Or might have seen you at the end of long ride instead of the beginning. might have seen you with your hair tumb- ling roughly and your hat askew, and your figure slumping wearily at every stride of the horse. You would not have mattered then very much'
 She looked up at the moon, but it seemed too bright, too searching, now, and she dropped her eyes hastily back to his hands.
 But even as it was," he said, q could have stood out against you if it had not been for the spray of autumn leaves at your breast" He nodded solemnly. 'That was what did the harm. It was hardly fair, do you thnk?'
 'They were only autmun leaves," she said, land anyway I don't understand why you are so solemn"

But, know ing all this, why did you send me the note? I don't like bear-baiting when l am the bear"
 She looked away from him suddenly into the shadows of the shrubbery. Then, al most desperately:
 "Is this mere neighborliness, John Owing ton? Can man meet girl once and then talk as you talking?"
 Docs it seem impossible to you, Beat rce?" he muttered. "Does it really seem so strange to you? Tell me frankly"

5 (: = I fight out the night there, but the old DOT traits leered down at him, the little cedar chest loomed lige silent oracle of sorrow. He rose at last and went out to pace the terraces of the garden.
 His foot sounded hollowly over the little bridge across the river, but he did not mo- tice it. Unconsciously he wandered up the path on the other side of the valley, through the opening of the hedge of evergreen, and onto the velvet lawns of the Jervan estate.
 A light laugh only few feet away startled him into vivid consciousness. He found that he stood near circle of shrub bery, in tine center of which a fountain splashed and showered, and through the light falling of the spray he heard the thrilling velvet of Beatrice Jervan's voice:
 "Go away now, Vincent. so want to be alone"
 And pleasant voice answered.:
 Have weared you tonight, dear?"
 "No,", she answered, "but I am tried of saying pretty things and hearing them, just for a little while. I am hungry for the quiet and the chill of this air. Please go back to the house and tell them that I am taking a walk through the garden. They will un- derstand
 "And shall see you later? And you are not cold?"
 "You will see me later. I am not the least cold.'
 'Au revoir little while. Dear, I am full of strange thoughts tonight. It is al- most as if you were slipping away from me. l have reached out to you a hundred times, and my heart has closed on nothing. What does it mean?"
 "Fantasy!' she said, and as she laughed the sound broke and ran thrilling down like the musical chuckle of bird. "Adeu. You need not fear. I shall stay true to our plan. Adieu."
 Ovington heard the mans lightly tread ing step pass away over the lawn, the shrub bery brushed against him noisily, and then the silence slipped back over the place and the faintly moving air shook the fountain into light showerings of spray, felt rather than heard, like the pulse of heart. And a great yellow moon floated up through the changing tracery of the black limbs, and now drifted abroad into the painless heaven, so that her light, peering slant over the shrubbery looked on the silver nodding head of the fountain.
 And deeper and deeper slanted the light
