Washington, August 26-Paui Red fern, attempting a 46O0 mile non stop flight to Rio De Janeiro. should now be over the middle of the Caribbean Sea and reach the mainland of South America late this afternoon if all goes well with him, navy photographers estimated today.
 Calculating on a 92 mile-an hour air speed and taking slight head~inds into consideration. the lone flyer should reach the traekless jungles of British and Dutch Guiana at nightfall and pass over the Amazon river seve- ral hundred miles from it's mouth be- fore midnight Experts estimated he should reach Rio about 7.20 p. m. eastern standard time, Saturday more than an hour after darkness If he arrives al all. Doubt Is expressed d generally that Redfern will get that far, however. His 525 gallons of gasoline used up at the rate of ten to twelve gallons an hour. should last about 47 hours, while the headwinds will make his journey require probably 52 hours. 1t was estimated

Teddy nodded.
"All set, then. Put your bathing
suit on at the house. I'll call for
you and bring eats. Well spend the
afternoon at the beach.
"Uh-uh," gurgled Teddy.
She turned in her seat to face
Diana. You're a real life saver
yourself, DIANA" she said generous
ly. "You had chance to test your
prowess when you saved Don's life
in the storm"
TITS a question whether I saved
his life or you, Teddy" replied
Diana gently. "It'S certain that if
you hadn't dug out Of that subject

"Don's a prince;" remarked Din
ny Unexpectedly although he felt
that Teddy had changed from the
subject of him, Dinny, almost too
easily.
Lola had been surprised when
reaching home after a long ride in
the afternoon to find that Diana
had gone out and had not returned.
Miss Brooks was rather i'll, have
you any idea where she went?" she
asked Gretta.
Gretta had no idea. Miss Brooks
had taken the Ford and left in a

had been called on the phone. That
was all the maid knew.
Pop had brought Don home with
him for dinner to discuss the inves-
legations of the Times business af-

be deferred until Diana returned.
They waited. At seven o'clock

wonder in her wide-open fascinated
eyes. Her Dinny had knocked the
hated enemy of her dearest friend
into Cuckoo-land with just two
blows of his fist. He was hero,
Dinny was, even if she couldn't love
him as he deserved.
"Oh, Dinny!" she gurgled again,
"you-you darling! I'm-Im just
going to kiss you for that!"
And she did-kissed him swiftly
and explosively full on the mouth.
Dinny almost tainted from pure
rapture. Gone was all recollection
from his mind of his recent encoun-
ter with Walden. Gone was every
thing but just the joy and sweet
realization of that kiss. If she
never kissed him again-if he never
felt again the delight that lay in
the touch of her lips-he had at
least the memory of that one brief
caress-and given voluntarily, too!
That was the joy of it. He looked
at her, alteration in his gaze.
Then his eyes turned. He looked
at the form on the floor. 1t was
showing symptoms of returning
life. The legs jerked: the arms
jerked; the muscles of the face and
neck twitched and the mouth twist
ed gortesquely. Then the blood
streaked eyes, popping out like door
knobs, rolled wildly. A groan CUR
gled through the smashed lips.
Four times Walden essayed to
rise. Each time he dropped back.
On the fifth attempt he negotiated
a sitting posture. Dazedly he looked
about him, his pop-eyes blinking.
Diana, watching him, disgust and
dislike etched in every line of her
face, marvelled at the responsiveness
of him. He didn't seem like a man.
She turned to Teddy with a wan
little smile.
"Take me home, dear. I'll tell you
about it later. This place"-a shud-
der shook the slender body-"fills
me with horror, and he"-she indi-
Gated the man she had fought so
desperately-"ugh!"
AS they started to leave Dinny
looked again at the fallen Walden.

The lawyers countenance indicated
returning understanding.
Get this, Walden" he said, bend
ing threateningly over the other;
IF you ever so much as glance at
Miss Brooks again, or speak to her,
what you got this time is nothing.

The trio crept cautiously down the
stairs and past the suave young
man at the desk. Diana caught an
instantaneous flash of surprise in
the clerks dark eyes. To their
right, they could see large group
sitting at tables in the huge hall,
while in the center a spotlight
played on a Offering quadroon
shimmy queen. The orchestra was
blaring a wild accompaniment.
(Which of these is yours, Miss
Brooks?" asked Dinny when they
had arrived at the driveway out
side. He motioned toward the cars
parked in a row. She indicated the
flivver she had used.
"I'll drive your car" volunteered

Teddy jumped in beside Dinny
around whom she had woven a
brand new halo. She decided to
treat him with more respect after
this.
'Dinny, wherever did you learn to
hit like that?" she asked admiring-
ly.
This was Dinny's hour. Under the
tribute his chest expanded. He
