Whether Mrs. Brown realized that
there was some purpose working IN
Lorna's mind could not be told, but
anyway she turned and went swiftly
back towards the house as desired
and as she disappeared Lorna ran
back to the hut and into the arms OF
her lover.
"You heard what she said? Now

The storm which Noel Shannon
had predicted must come AND
which had passed off Paxton
Common, travelling elsewhere lay
ahead Of him as he few northwards
In fact, about half an hour after be
had started. he was in the thick OF
the hail and the rain almost before
he realized it. And he guessed rather
than knew. for it was impossible for
him to look behind, that his pas
senger was in a very agony OF
nerves and fright.
AS the machine he was flying was
not a very large one Shannon was
determined to land instead of going
straight ahead. and after a little he
began to take bearings. They seemed
to be encircled about by mountains
Of storm laden vapor. The dials
registered about 900 feet, and II was
not easy for Shannon to see wha'
lay below, but he planed down eau
tiously.
The landing was a bit rough sc
rough in fact, hat the passenger col
lapsed in his seal and sat huddled VI
in an almost unconscious condition
1t gave Shannon a considerable
amount of satisfaction TO see one
whom he already realized as a dan
gerous individual so stricken with
fear as to be knocked out so con
pletely.
The rain had stopped n the sun
was coming out. 1t vas very wet on
this rough ground. but despite this
fact odds and ends OF people came
running out. attracted as they al
ways are by the sight OF an aero
plane down.
Perhaps the fact that he was being
stared at reused Julian Emerson, OF
the sound of voices penetrated
through the veil Of unconsciousnesf
which had fallen upon him in any
case he opened his eyes, but though
he struggled 10 sit up ne was sc
feeble he had to be lifted out OF the
aeroplane, and then supported on thu
shoulders of two men. since his legt
refused to support him. Then. be
coming acutely conscious that be
was the center OF attraction TO q
crowd that was increasing, he pulled
himself up and turned to Shannon.
Where are we?" he queried OF
shannon harshly. Have you
brought me to where you said you
would?"
