the manager Say, I wonder ii you'd be interested in stunt which would pack 'em i'll at the meet you are running the twentieth and the twenty first? If you are, I'll gamble with you and work on a percentage basis" Reynolds smiled. "I'd be inter- ested in anything I thought would bring 'em out these parlous days! But what are you going to do that's new? Jump without any chute at all? You can't do that twice and the meet runs two days!" JIMMIE BRIEFLY
 OUTLINED HIS IDEA.
 Tersely Jimmie outlined his idea With the outline he mixed all tho sales talk he could. Reynolds was impressed with the possibilities but still doubted as to whether. it would work or not. There was but one way to find that out and that was to make a test.
 "All right" Jimmie said. I'll get down to my room and make 9 special harness. It will be ready tomorrow. Then we can go up and see if the idea will work. We'll fly out over those flats where no one hangs around and let go there. If it works, we'll want fat percen- tage! It's new and it's worth money!"
 Reynolds agreed with him and Jimmie departed. Late that night he was ready and early the next morning he reported at the field. As usual, Pal trotted along at his heels. When the three, Reynolds, Jimmie and the dog, entered a cabin monoplane and went aloft there was no comment, other than a casual wonder as to why the door to the cabin had been removed and left behind.
 COME ON, PAL!
 COME ON, BOY!"
 Ten minutes flight brought. them to the outskirts of the city and over the flats. Reynolds nodded to Jim- mic that all was ready. Taking Pals head between his hands, Jimmie stroked his nose and rub- bed his ears. Then he fitted the strong harness he had made the evening before around Pals chest and neck. Attached to the harness was strong steel cable. which ran out the door and disappeared un- der the body of the plane. With a final inspection to make Jimmie arose. and stepped to the, open door way. On his back was a chute. Then he turned and faced Pal.

 Suddenly the necessity overcame Jimmie's objections. He arose and started out at a brisk walk for the airport managers office. Striding in the door with Pal at his heels. he entered the office.
