had not come out Of the tepee he was
watching. Jeems knew 1t was Tiaoga.
The chieftain advanced toward him
as If an invisible fate were leading
him to his execution. Then he paused.
The moon was bright. 1t lit up his
features thirty yards away as he
gazed into a mystery Of distance which
his eyes could not penetrate. What
had brought him, what he was think
ing, what the night held for him,
Jeems did not ask himself. He strung
his bow and fitted an arrow. Then
he called Tiaoga's name in low voice
to let him know that retribution had
come. The bow twanged and slen-
der shaft sped through the moonlight
with the winged sound of humming
bird. He heard the arrow strike.
Tiaoga did not cry out. His hands
clutched at his breast as he sank
to the earth and lay there motion
fess blot.
Jeems went down the river. For
many days he hid along its shores
seeking for Toinette's body. He saw
Senecas pass and repass, but as he
Travelled almost entirely in the water
he was successful in evading them.
When he reached Lake Ontario, he
turned eastward, still carrying his bun
die. At night he slept with it close to
his face, breathing the precious in
4h;pOe
times he held to his lips the piece of
red cloth she had worn around her
hair.
No spring of action encouraged him
to return to Forbidden valley or the
Richelieu, and it was chance and not
a definite purpose which brought him
to the place on Lake Champlain called
Ticonderoga by the Indians. This was
late in the summer of 1856. The
French had occupied point of land
and were building Fort Vaudreuil and
Fort Carlton. Jeems seized upon
these activities with the avidity of one
who at last had found something to
assuage a killing hunger. He joined
Montcalm's forces and was given
musket and a spade in place of his
bow and arrows.
He entered now an apprenticeship
of digging and building in the earth
where the forts were going up. The
work and its environment, the excite
ment of war, and the ever-increasing
news of French victories were a relief
to his broken spirits, but they did not
thrill him. He fought against this
apathy. He tried to hate once more.
He repeated to himself many times
that the English and their Indians
were responsible for the tragedies
which had befallen his loved ones.
But he could not rise to the passion
for vengeance. He wanted to fight, he
wanted to see the English and their
allies overwhelmed, but his emotions
were as dull as they were implacable.
They burned with fatalistic evenness
which neither triumph nor defeat
could raise to great heights or lower
to the depths they had plumbed. Death
could never stir him again as it had
already stirred him, no shambles could
sicken him and no victory bring to him
the remotest gladness of the song he
had chanted in the freight al
Chenufsio.

As aviators, both globe circlers are

Behind every great undertaking there
always Is a personality, a man whose
unf1agging zeal weaves the various
phases together and explains the sue
cess or failure of the project. In world
circling record flights this holds true,
and In seeking the story-behind-t the
story Of the breath-taking ride of the
Winnie Mae OF Oklahoma all trails
eventually lead to Wiley Post.
A TeXas-born farm boy who whitfield
out models of airplanes in the days
when flying was only something to read
about in the newspapers, Post has kept
his eyes on his goal as unerringly as
he kept the Winnie Mae on the course
plotted by Navigator Harold Gatty:
It Is easy to follow the trail to Wiley
Post. but difiicult to unravel the in
gradients which make up his per-
sonality. Stocky, brown-eyed, brown
haired and taciturn, Post has heritage
of several generations of Southwestern
pioneers as well as an Indian strain
in his blood.
Cared Little for Farm.
Farming never interested him much.
His mother, Mrs. w. F. Post, recalls
that even when he was a small, bare
footed, freckled faced youngster, he
had an inordinate desire to tinker with
Things. He read adventure stories
showed preference for mechanical
toys, and only once developed suffi-
Gent enthusiasm for farming to indi-
cate he could do it If he would. This
was when his father gave him a small
patch. Wiley took the utmost pains
| in the development of his crop and
whGn he had pocketed the profits. he
found he had enough to set out for a
school to train automobile mechanics
in Kansas City, Mo.
The Wright Brothers experiments
during the first period of aviation de-
velopment probably were responsible for
Wiley's ambition to fly. He heard the
story of their experiments and when
he should have been hoeIng in his
fathers fields he was more likely to
: be whiting out an "airplane" model.
His last teacher, in a rural school at
Burns. Okla, was Hugh Austin, now
of Oklahoma City. Austin recalls that
once when he prevailed uror Wiley
to improve his work in grammar the
boy remarked he wasn't much inter-
ested in that study as he wanted to
be an aviator-an unusual ambition at
that time.

The record shows Wiley was not q

and was proving to the instructors in

There are countless stories shout
Wiley Posts life on his parents farms
in Texas and Oklahoma, but in view Of
the fame he has just gained In aviation
few have much point or bearing on his
career. 1t was after he had won his
diploma from the autimobile me-
chanics' school in Kansas City that
Wiley began to devote his time to en-
gines and his thoughts to flying.
4, He was the third youngest of six
boys and one girl in the Post family
and he was not hampered in his pur-
suits. His parents, who live two miles
north of Maysville, Okla, where they
raise truck and feed crops, believe in
the doctrine of good sense and as long
as their children didn't get into trouble
they allowed them fairly free rein.
Later Wiley's father did object to
his parachute jumping and hid his
chute one day, but Wiley's friends say
the tables were turned next time when
Wiley carried the bulky chute down

Wiley left the Kansas City Automo-
bile School and became a garage me-
chanic, an oil field worker and a ma
chine shop laborer before he realized
his ambition to fly. But once he got
his chance he went for air travel with a
vengeance and when he renewed his
transport license March 3, 1881, he es-
timated he had more than 800 hours
flying time.

GATTY AWAKENED
BY HIS W|FE'S KISS
Thunderstorms Prevent Her
Arrival in New York for
End of Flight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July "A kiss by his
wife awoke the globe-fying Harold
Gatty this morning.
Mrs. Gatty, prevented by thunder
storms from arriving by plane in time
to welcome her husband at Roosevelt
Field lest night, reached New York by
train from Pittsburgh this morning.
She left Les Angeles by plane Tuesday.
No Time to Talk.
Mrs. Gatty, mother of three children,
whom she left with neighbors In Glen
dale. Calf, had no time to talk with
reporters when she stepped from the
train. She said she must hurry and
"lsiss Harold" She made the trip to
the hotel in a taxicab, with a motor
cycle policeman clearing the way.
Upon arriving at the Ritz, Mrs. Gatty
was taken directly to her husbands
room. where he was sleeping until the
kisS awakened him.
Il haven't slept much, you can mag
inc, while Harold and Mr.. Post have
been On the trip" she said. When this
reception business is over. I'm going
home and sleep about a month"

They're already talking about flying,
and l guess they'll fly when they're
older, all right" she said.
The children, she added, don't quite
realize what their father has done.
Thew just know he's been away"
After Mrs. Gatty had seen her hus-
band she again talked with reporters.
II don't remember what he said" she
told them. I was too excited. What
did I say? Well. I kissed him." she
smiled happily but very timidly at the
crowd of repor ers and photographers
that had her in a corner staring at
her. questioning her. pointing cameras
and binding lights at her.
Vera Gatty is barely feet and has
20-inch waist. Her hair is brown and
wavy. She has shy manner contra
dicted by smiling blue eyes.
Asked About Children.
Eyes. Harold asked about the chill
dren. But I can't remember exac ly
what he said. I was so excited. But he

proper talk with her husband" She
didn't think he looked very tired.
Immediately after his wifes arrival
Harold Gatty arose and started to
dress for the days ceremonies. With
Wiley Pest and Mrs. Post the Gattys
had breakfast of orange juice, boiled
eggs and coffee.
Post did justice to the meal, but
Gatty declined everything but coffee.
The women ate sparingly.

BALLISTICS UNIT
PLANNED BY POLICE
Lieut.. Fowler Transferred to Head
quarters to Begin Or.
ganization.

Plans for the establishment of bal
1istics department as an integral unit
of the Headquarters Detective Bureau
were disclosed today by police officials,
close on the heels of the drastic reor-
ganization of the police force.
Development of the bureau has been
placed in charge of Lieut.. John H
Fowler, long regarded as the ballistics
expert of the department. Fowler was
transferred from the tenth precinct to
police headquarters yesterday and i'm
mediately set out to organize the new
department.
A private laboratory at police head
quarters has been assigned to Fowler,
where he will be allowed to work I'M
malested on cases in which the science
of ballistics may be used to aid in the
solution of crime. The Office will be
equipped with microscopes. microscopic
cameras and various other instruments
used in modern scientific crime investi-
cation and detection.
Lieut.. Fowler was schooled for the
work he is undertaking at Northwest
ern University. With five other men,
bers of the department. including In
spector Frank S. w. Burke, the new
chief of detectives. he took a special
course several months ago in ballistics
and scientific crime investigation, I'M
der direction of Col Calvin Goddard.
nationally known ballistics expert.
What little ballistics work Fowler
has done In the last several years has
been helpful to the Detective Bureau
in its criminal Investigations. He has
been handicapped. however, by the lack
of equipments and a laboratory in
which to work, and often the Bureau
of Standards was called on to assist
him.
Assisting the Detective Bureau in
the solution of crimes will be only one
phase of Fowler's activities. He will
endeavor to set up dangerous weapon
identification catalogue which police
officials believe will be valuable in flu
fure years.
This catalogue will consist chiefly of
The records Of all secondhand guns
purchased by dealers. Fowler will take
these guns as soon as they are bought
by secondhand dealers, photograph
them and the peculiar marks made on
bullets by these weapons. A record
also will be kept of the person to whom
the gun is sold.
Thus, If any of the guns handled by
secondhand dealers ever figure in a
crime, the Detective Bureau will be in a
position to trace its owner And in
cases where weapons are not found, tine
detectives may be able to identify the
gun by comparing the bullets with the
photographs of bullets to be kept on
file in the ballistics department, and in
this way possibly run down a criminal.
Maj Henry G. Pratt. superintendent
bf police, has been making strenuous eff
forts in the last several years to mod
Rrnize the department and equip it
with every recognized device that will
bid in the prevention and detection OF
