sible TO alter the pressure during
breathing, to make a regular cycle
of fluctuating pressure inside the
mask to fit the natural human
breathing cycle.
Thus at one moment the mask

the next so reduce its pressure that

Or the doctor can adjust the
mask to any degree OF effort or lack
OF effort at any stage of breath
taking. For example. Commander
Steele said, some kinds OF heart
trouble patients might be helped
by mask which makes every stage
OF their breathing effortless.
rersons suffering from gassed
lungs might be better off with a
robot which puts the air into
their lungs without any effort on
their part, but required them to

In high altitude flying the new
mask is needed TO keep enough

Even pure oxygen doesn't do this
when the outside air pressure be-

more at the time Dan had run
away. He'd only opened up here be-
cause Dan had run cway and his
mother insisted on having q son
at hand. He was glad he'd come
back to Weston now, although his
mother was gone. The eastern
shore was his world and his time
In Baltimore had been conclusive
proof Of 1t. He belonged here.
And now Dan was back. He
seemed to fill Russell's mind as he
apolog'zed to Miss Tiller for keep
ing her so late ard took her home
in consequence. Miss Tiller was
about his own age and had a bony
face and high-bridged nose which
always made him think Of boat.
Her father did have a little boat
yard and built WORK boats for oys-
termen, and small sailing yachts.
Miss Tiller affected a great scorn
of water and all that fioated upon
1t. but she was very good legal
stenographer. Russell considered
himself quite lucky to get her,
since she had worked In both Bal
timore and Philadelphia. where she
had naturally earned more money
than he could pay.
Once Miss Tiller was dropped at
her door and Russell had refused
her mothers invitation to stay to
supper. he crossed the railroad
tracks of the discontinued line
which had run on to Ocean City
and turned by the high school into
the Talbot road. It was a lovely
10-mile drive home. The road swept
between wheat fields. through love-
ly stretches Of woodland, noisy and
beautiful with spring. and across
the lovely mirrorlike back reaches
OF water. Peachblossom Creek.
What a lovely name for a lovely
stretch OF water framed by great
clumps of trees. He laughed as he
paused to watch the sinking sun
cross a broad field on the next rise.
There were sheep grazing. and cat
tie and horses. A Few pigs grunted
contentedly by q fence that was
almost buried under wild honey
suckle wires. Soon h air would be
heavy with the fragrance and the
warm breeze would sing with the
hum Of bees.
With a laugh he broke of his
thoughts. Dan was affecting him as
he al ways had since Dan was a kid
who didn't want to do arithmetic
and preferred studying about flow
ers and birds. Russell remembered
spanking Dan for staying out of
school. It had been hard TO do, but
he'd done II thoroughly. as he did
everything which he believed to be
his duty. Dan had sworn at him
and so had been spanked some
more. Dan had finally laughed at
him and said, I'll forget this, but
Ill always remember the birds I
saw this afternoon. Nobody can
