NEW YORK, September 2S.--Wom.
en- headed the two remaining eXpedi-
tions in the transatlantic air field to-
day after Capt. Rene Fonck's definite
abandonment Of his proposed flight
to Paris and his announcement that
he would sail Saturday for France,
With the withdrawal OF Fonck,
Miss Ruth Elder. Dixie pilot Of the
monoplane American Girl, and Miss
Frances Grayson, heading the pro-
jected European flight OF her Sikor-
sky amphiban plane. were left at
Curtiss Field to complete preparations
for take-offs, which have been set
back from day to day by tests flights
and adverse weather conditions.
Unfavorable weather conditions
alone interfered with an immediate
take.off for Paris by Miss Elder and
Capt. George Ilaldeman. her co-pilot.
They said they hoped to fly Friday.
If a gasoline and speed test by Miss
Grayson's plane is successful today,
she and her pilot Wilmer Stutz, said
they would fly to Old Orchard. Me-,
to inspect the beach there preliminary
to a take-off on their cross.sea trip.
Fonck's project received a serious
setback recently when the Navy De-
partment recalled Lieut. Lawrence
Curtin and Ensign Stephen Edwards,
who had been selected as navigator
and radio operator. respectively, for
the journey. Fonck suspended his
plans, he said. because he was with
out sufficient time to train a new per-
sonnel for such a hazardous trip as
the air journey across the ocean. He
added that delay in delivering the
plane ready for flying from July TO-
when it was due, until September 90
also contributed to the postponement..
The French flyer said he would con
fer in Paris with his hacker, Cleve'
land l.. Dodge. and probably would
return here within six weeks with a
new flight plan. Meanwhile his tri
motored Skorsky biplane will be
stored by its builders.

There was directing brain behind
it; an extremely skilled and implac'
able brain. 1t was the work of an
enemy-of more enemies than one.
He was assured of that, and yet
of the identity of those enemies he
had no proof-notning but suspi-
cion. The one hope Of his life was
to obtain that proof, or at the
worst, to make that knowledge GER
tain in his own mind. 1t was
hope so slender that it amounted
to nothing more than a web of
gossamer; it was such stuff as the
dreams of convicts are made of.
Eerie Visions
The darkness of his cell was
peopled with visions; faces, some
of them sinister, some friendly;
above all, the face of Cynthia
Knowles, with soft shining eyes
and the wave of hair above her
ears.
Where was Cynthia now? What
was happening to her?
The dawn came, merciful, for it
made the, vision fade; gray light
creeping through the barred win
dow, presently the echoes of the
prison began to wake. 1t was a
place of echoes.
The convict who usually walked
next to Masterton was an Did
hand, a thief of many convictions;
q friendly soul who was wont to
keep up a murmured converse
ton which took the form OF q

was haggard and his lips blood
less.
The eyes of the two convicts met.
Sinclair Vereker seemed to shrink
still farther into himself. Then he
drew a deep breath and looked
straight to his front, his shoulders
gave a barely perceptible shrug.
But Vereker's was a sensitive soul,
and all he had gone through before
was as nothing to that moment.
The tramp OF boots echoed for q
minute or two, when 1t was broken
by a cry.
Look out, therei Hold him up"
Vereker had staggered q little In
his stride, and suddenly collapsed.
He would have fallen full length
had not one of his companions sup
ported him. 1t was Masterton Who,
Always quick of movement, had
darted across and caught him In
his arms just in time.
The big man looked down rather
anxiously into the insensible face:
it was very white, the eyes were
CIOScu, anu there was q 6IdIG-DluS
shadow round the mouth. The
arms hung limp.
The commotion among the other
convicts was quickly stilled.
"All right" said a warder
gruffly, STOPPING beside Masterton.
Move on, all the rest of you''!
Two warders carried Verel1er
out.
The prison doctor frowned an
he folded his stethoscope, and drew
the sheets over Vereker's breast.
There was screen round the bed
in the sick ward; Vereker lay very
quiet, conscious now, his eyes
open, but no speech came from
him. The doctor left the ward
and just outside the door he met
the chaplain.
