it was within the widest possibility,
he would be back. If he had not
returned by mid-morning, she would
know he vas not coming, could not
come. He managed to open the door.
He found Andres car with his in
sigma on it. He went roaring down
the road to the flying field.
He timed it carefully. The motor
Of Andres plane was idling. He did
not speak to the mechanic as he
hoped into the cockpit - he mere
ly waved. In the dim light just be-
fore dawn, he had won out. He was
off!
Straight for the enemy's line he
headed. About half an hour had
passed when he noticed a car DASH
ing wildly along the road. He had
been flying low. Now he dipped
still lower. He could see the car
plainly and the man and woman
in it. He released the safety on his
two guns and started firing. The
car zigzagged wildly. It turned over
into a ditch. Before he mounted
again, he knew that pinned beneath
the wreckage lay Madame de Cha
bris and her accomplice.
He looked at his watch. It was
time for the rest Of the squadron
to be taking off. He let his engine
out. He must be well out in front
of those who were to come after
him. Mind and muscle were in per-
feet accord. He knew exactly what

Terry nodded, as the officers after
one look at Andre, turned to him.
The commanding officer spoke.
HE shot down three planes be-
fore he left the field - he was
probably dying then. Just as we
left, a report came in over the tele-
phone: The offense is proceeding
splendidly, beyond what we had
hoped. Victory Is only a matter of
minutes"
He turned to Suzy.
THAT, Madame CharvilIe, must
be your consolation. The knowledge
Of that must comfort you always,
must comfort his beloved father. I
can not find words for the tribute
I would pay him. But it Is not need
ed that I should. Nc one could
honor Captain Charville as he has
honored himself. He was the best
flier we had and it is fitting that
his last hour was his greatest. Dur
ing all the meaningless horror of
war, we can hold fast to the self
less courage of men like Andre
Charville. It is such courage only,
that purifies war;"
He took Suzy's hand and bent low
over 1t.
"All France will mourn with you.
And the three colors Of the flag OF
France will be brighter, because he
was her son."
Suzy could not speak. She stood,
her head held high, her eyes shin
ing. Then she turned to Terry. They
walked away - together.

Thus felt Johnny Clehoe as mid
night approached. The house was
in utter blackness seemingly much
deeper than the opaque veil which
hovers over the world without. And
the Box D ranchhouse had become
a house of ghosts now. Human
bodies had no substance in that
stygian, acrid gloom. Only human
voices existed, low-pitched, angel
hoarsened voices.

Chapter Three

She must tell Andre-and at
once. She saw that clearly. She
turned and hurried back to the hos
pital. She tapped lightly on his
door. There was NJ answer. Per
haps he was asleep. She would
go in quietly and wait until he was
awake. She turned the knob quiet
~, so as not to disturb him.
He was not asleep. His arms
were around a woman who was
bending over him They had not
heard her. They did not see her.
She closed the door.
The next morning when Terry
called at the hospital, Andre said
his wife had been in just a moment
that morning. She had to go to
Paris to his father. He, himself,
was leaving the next day for a rest
at Nice. A friend Of his, Madame
de Chabris, had a chateau there.
He was glad Terry would be at the
field when he returned, to see his
test flight in the new plane.
II met Madame de Chabris as I
was coming here" said Terry. Zone
OF our officers introduced us.
Strange-she asked me if we hadn't
met somewhere. We hadn't. I never
never could forget so beautiful a
woman"
He didn't know quite why he had
told that. It was probably because
he didn't want to talk about Suzy.
So-she had been a coward once
more! She had not told Andre
their secret.
Andre wrote one note from the
Riviera and another when he had
returned to the 9 dr;lle. He was
quite all right again and enthusi-
astic about his new plane. Suzy
didn't care now-except for his IA
ther-whether Andre wrote or not.
She was glad he did not have a
and heart to face him and tell him
all she must. Then one afternoon,
looking idly through a magazine,
she was shaken from her apathy.
It was a picture which did it.. The
caption read Madame de Chabris
and Andre Charville, the famous
ace, at her chateau near Nice"
She hoped the excuses she had
made for leaving Paris had sounded
genuine to the Baron. But that
wasn't really important. There was
only one thing in the world which
was-she must see Andre as soon
as possible.
Captain Charville was not in, the
porter at the hotel said. She hest
tated,-but only for a moment But
yes, the porter said, to her second
question, the young Englishman
had come in just a few minutes be-
fore. She ran up the stairs and
pounded on his door.
Terry" she cried, look at this.
We must find Andre at nce-sav

with her, I think. He is to take
on at dawn-some big offensive on
and should have turned in, but"
Tell me how to get there" As
he hesitated, she said: Terry,
Madame de Chabris is the woman
who shot you"
At first he thoug,- crazy

but she was so insistent and-he
was pulling her toward the door.
He had just remembered Madame
de Chabris' asking him II they
might have met by chance. That
was a test. That was why she had
smiled so radiantly when he said
he had never seen her before.
When they reached the street, he
suggested that he go alone. There
was no forsesing just what she
might be letting herself in for.
There was no reason why she
should walk straight into danger.
my place is with Andre when
he is in danger" she said firmly.
Thank you. Terry. But I'm going"
They did not speak as they drove
hurriedly out into the country.
But while they were waiting for
the door to be opened at the cha
teau, Terry said: "Suzy, I want you
to know I think you are the BRAY
est person, man or woman, I have
ever known"
Madame de Chabris was startled
and Andre was furious when they
came in and Suzy insisted he must

Terry apologize to his hostess for
their outrageous rudeness.
you will come, Andre" said
Suzy. you must. Madame de
Chabris is IN enemy spy"
Madame de Chabris had recover
ed her poise and said laughingly
that her charming guest must be
slightly insane-most Americans
were. Suzy wheeled on her.
you can't laugh this off. I saw
you that night just before the war,
at Schmidt's factory and an hour
later, I saw you shoot Terry"
"You evidently are suffering from
mistaken identity" said Madame
de Chabris. II not only haven't
been in London since I was a school
girl, but I neve heard Of Mrs.
Schmidt"
why = did = you -say-Mrs.
Schmidt" asked suzy. "And-who
|-said-London?"
There was a moments silence. It
was Andre who broke it.
Let us CO." he said. 1T Is clear
to me now. What a fool"
But there was some n in the
door-a man. He told Madame de
Chabris to come at once. The car
was waiting. Andre started toward
him. The man raised his arm.
There was a shot. Andre fell to
the floor.
They were locked in. They had
heard the bolts click. The windows
were barred. But there was a phone.
Terry ran to it. The wires had been
cut. Suzy, bending over Andre, mo-
toned to Terry to come to them
She whispered to him: I'm afraid
he's - but then, ] thought you

mind, only. He must not fail Andre
and suzy.
when he heard the roar Of the
squadron coming up, he knew It was
time to give the fight over into
their hands. He headed for the fly-
ing field. His plane was behaving
perfectly, but deliberately he began
to wobble the stick. He could .
that the men on the field had seen
him, that they would think he was
/ going to crash. He swerved around
and made for the chateau.
Suzy hearing the plane, ran down
the stairs and stood in the door:
She saw it crash. But Terry leaped
from it. He vas uninjuured except
for one arm.
"Everything's all right" he said.
but we haven't a moment to spare"
They were running up the stairs as
he spoke. He was taking off the
coat - Andres and putting on his
own. Someway, they managed to
carry Andre down into the garden.
He was lying by the wrecked plane,
when the ambulance and other cars
came.

FINAL INSTALMENT

FINAL LINZ 1ALlNALAN
'sHe's on top O the bunkhouse."
yelled Johnny. "I'm gonna be set
for him next shot. An Jim, fer
Gods sake take a new position.
They got yuh figgered."
The old cattleman swore but
made no move to push himself to
another point. 1t was Ronny who
darted up and drew her father
away, in spite Of his protests.
At the window corner Johnny
sat tense, his lips in a compressed
line, his eyes fixed unwaveringly
on the top of the bunkhouse. Sud-
denly he stiffened and showed the
muzzle of his rifle through a shat
tered pane. His keen glance had
caught sight of a slight movement
on that distant ridgepole. The
movemen continued and grew into
the shape of a. long, black gun
barrel which was being showed over
and trained on the ranchhouse.
Johnny swung his sights into line,
drawing a fine bead just above that
threatening barrel. Cautiously the
upper half of a barred head showed.
Johnny held his breath, centered
his bead and pressed the trigger.
Half the body of a man lurched
into view, then dropped from sight.
The big Sharps rif~le-teetered on
the ridge pole for a moment then
tipped over and slid halfway down
the roof, where it stuck and held,
in plain view of the exultant John
ny.
"That's one cannon spiked. I got
him, Jim. An the big guns in
plain sight on the roof were the
rest CANT get it."
Johnny's triumph was short
lived. Just as Species cohorts, driv-
en- to madness by the sight Of an
other casualty on their side, open
ed up in fury from all angles, Doc
McMurdo started to circle from
Delevan't side to Johnny. He
went down, just opposite the win
dow, falling at full length ON his
face. There was a bullet hole just
above his left ear and one in the
side of his neck. He was dead On
his feet.
At her fathers side Ronny sag
gered in a near faint. Delevan
smore helplessly, terribly. Johnny,
white and harsh, chouched over
and dragged the body into a dark
corner. Then, without a word he
padded bark to his window corner
and settled down to his watching.
In that position darkness found
them.
There comes a time in every
mans life when minutes are hours
and hours untold cons. When sus-
pense whips the nerve centers taut
and harsh and sets muscles hard
