From the shell Bert drew q little

I felt my features blanching and
my blood running cold. I fixed my

the strut and, monkey fashion,
kneed up, caught the wing and
pulled myself on top.
Bert had regulated his speed to
the exact speed Of the Zeppelin. We
seemed to b stationary. I straight
ened slowly and stood upright.
The Queen Of the Skies hook was
within easy reach. I grabbed It and
began to fasten the cable.
I had twined my legs around 1t

Our eye In the dark was In con-

 The suit commenced when MT. Studdert, represenle4 oy Alhrecht & Tay:or, fled lien for unpaid wages. s-e also sought to obtain a lien on gold dust for sixtean others besides himself, all former employees of the Tanana Valley Gold Dredging Com pany whose rights had been assigned to him.
 Recovery of wages from gold, gold dust and amalgam to the approxi- mate value of $5,600, which had been placed in the bank by the Panama Valley concern, operating the Fish Creek 'dredge, was sought in the suit.
 In sustaining the demurrer Judge Clegg said the Territorial law defin- ing liens omits any reference to the word cleanup" and the fact that the gold had been cleaned up and re- moved from the ground left the plaintiff without recourse to a lien, which, under the law, is applicable only if the gold remains on the ground. Judge ,Clegg's decision also said that the gold was in the hands of innocent third parties when the lien was filed, which was ten days after the gold had been removed from the ground.
