Then, like great avengfng monsters, the heavy
bombing planes sweep down, not in dives like
the three that went before, but in steady, sure
descent. Low over the crippled ship they soar,
secure from attack and deliberately selecting
the ships vulnerable spots. Huge, two-ton
bombs go swiftly down, straight into the heart
OF the doomed vessel. Furious blasts shake
the planes above as one violent explosion fol-
lows another. And seemingly impregnable

it sinks beneath the waves.

tice there"
THIS type of formation work is only prelim-
mary practice for the Nays aircraft
Squadrons- Wings of the Fleet, as they are
sometimes called Few people realize the extent
to which Navy aerial tactics have progressed.
The Bureau of Aeronautics of the Navy has
just signed an order for IS of the most modern
twin-motored flying-boat bombers each of
which will carry crew of five men, in addi-
ton to huge bombs, machine guns for defense
and full radio equipment. This is an indca-
ton of the success which has been met in
answering the old query-"Can a low-hying
plane sink battleship?"
But this question really has little bearing
now for that plan of attack will be obsolete,
according to the new and startling plans of the
dying bomber squadrons Until recently there
was room for doubt as the heavily loaded
bombers were admittedly good targets for anti
aircraft fire. To be sure of making good hits
the bombers had to fly well in range of the
archie or anti-aircraft guns, of a battleship
and also hold straight course for at least 80
seconds. To fly at three or four thousand feet,
straight over the ship, was to invite disaster,
with only fair chance of making hit.
The enemy battleship in tomorrows war-if
war should come again-will not have such ar
opportunity to defend itself. The picture drawn
by Navy experts is amazing-all but incredible
yet it is based on facts. The enemy stealing
along at Is knots, is seen from an altitude of
10000 or $4,000 feet by the leader of diving
bomber section. The section consists of three
planes, built to stand excessive speeds, and each
carrying a deadly bomb Back of the diving
planes cruise the heavy bombers, awaiting a
signal. 1t comes. They prepare to descend,

In the leading Navy plane, Lieut.. Comdr

Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When DR.. Caldwell started to
practice medicine, back in 1875, the
needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic
physics and purges for the relief
Of constipation which DR.. Caldwell
did not believe were good for hui
man beings to put into their sys-.
tenn. So he wrote a prescription for
a laxative to be used by his pa
tients.

and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name of DR.. Cald.

shimmering with light-all the
sweet, subtle insistence of her sent
a madness through him.
This, he suspected, was love.
And love had no place in his life.
Other women had reused and
amused him, but not one so had
overwhelmed him, drawn him
against his will. Bad business
when a grifter fell for a mol,
even when she was one Of his own,
like Nell.
In common with other men Of
his class, Danny felt a deep-rooted
contempt for women generally.
Those that belonged to the Spooks
as well as to members Of other
mobs all were alike; elemental,
given to furious jealousies, inn
pulses toward savage revenge
when crossed. Many a crook was
doing his bit because his sweet
heart had blabbed in a fit Of rage
with him. The underworld Danny
knew held the superstition that
love was unlucky, and he believed
implicitly IN luck.
Furthermore if it went around
the gang that he was serious
about Iris there would be trouble.
Suspicion would seize upon any,
thing which looked like divided
loyalty and his leadership would
not stand against it. Danny's
natural will to dominate made
it necessary for him to be leader
or nothing.
SO once again he put the
thought of Iris from him and
tried to drift into the old re-
lationship with Nell. condescend-
ing on his part, proudly ador-
ing on hers.
But it was not as it had been.
Nell had a sturdy personality,
vivid, rather flamboyant charm
which always had satisfied him
before. Now, however, he missed
in her the things that were a
lure in Iris; an exquisiteness. an
aristocracy OF viewpoint and

Man Rand had long been his hero.
He could stare only at the girl,
and, vet, he could not have begun
to describe her. All he knew was
that she was beautiful, and that
there were tones Of brown in her

Carmichael was saying some

Dick had the impression that she

He wondered If she liked him. He
wondered what he could do to

could have found no surer way.
Thus matters stood on the aft

Mary guessed she had been with
Mullins.
He was firm enough in his de.
termination not to meet the
daughter of the Rings, but when
her voice came to aim through
the telephone, almost timidly
pleading. he forgot his resolution.
He would see her this once:
couldn't get into much of a jam
from one meeting. And the blood
was singing in his veins.
That was the way it started.
For the Spook did meet Iris again
and again. The thought of her
drew him more strongly than eau.
ton or habit: he had moments of
misgivings but these he put down
with defiance. Across the table
from her at the St. Gregory he
was amazed and bewildered by
her daintiness, attracted by every
thing about her. and a natural
instinct, developed and fostered
by his outlaw principles, began
to assert itself-lust of possession.
After the day he carried her up
the beach at Ring Acres he never
touched her beyond a rather awk-
ward handclasp in greeting and
farewell. But when he was with
her all his senses were alive; it
was as if she were in his arms,
pale head against his cheek, lips
clinging to his. his kisses on her
hair. her eyes. her throat.
1t was torture but he could not
break the spell--did not wish 10
break it. And he would plunge
into gloomy moods.
"You'n get tired of this, Iris"
She never denied it and her non
chalance stirred him more than
protests would have.
What you want with guy like
me?" He would glance around the
room. eyes lingering on the men
