After all, the necklace was Regi nald's. Frank was only holding It In trust for him. Why should he not Intrust It to him earlier than the day eet by hla father? "If I have these diamonds on my person," Frank mused, "Mueller or his agents are liable to get 'htXl of them at any time In spite of my vigilance. The pieces of. the map- I can eafely conceal by putting them Inside the lining of my coat, but diamonds be does not. There seems to be no of way out of tt. If I am to watch Mueller successfully." He brought the engine to a stand still again, looked around to see that Reginald was safely aeleep, and then took out the case that held the dia mond necklace. Ripping open the lining of the case with his penknife, he stowed away among Its silken folds the diamond w hich poor Rita had cherished and the one Madame Slavlnsky had given him ill trust.

The three sections of the map—one for Reginald, one for Reginald's miss ing child, and one for Vera Slavlnsky —he fastened securely within the lin ing of his coat. He sealed the velvet casket and wrapped It securely In pa per, tying the cord around It -with many Intricate knots. Then he awoke Reginald. “Reg," said he, "you think I have treated you decently In all this, don't you?” "I never can repay you,” returned Reginald, fervently, and thought he meant It. “It Is not a question of repayment, F.eg!nald,” said Frank, solemnly. “I do not wish you to do anything for me, btit there Is something I want you to promise me for yourself." “Anything, anything, Frank,” cried Reginald, Impetuously. "It will take weeks, months, per haps even years, to prove your Inno cence,” said the elder Bracebrldgp, "and I shall be In personal danger from Mueller while I am working for you. This package,” and he took from his pocket the casket of diamonds, ‘‘con tains a most valuable heirloom which forms part of the secret of the Brace- bridges.

He swore by everything he held holy that he would carry out Frank's Instructions to the letter. Sailing Through 8pact. The airship swept on through space. The moonlight faded, the gray dawn drew her silvery veil over the sleeping fields and villages. Then In the east the first faint flush of dawn appeared above the clouds, changing later Into the glorious splendors of the sunrise. The day wore on. Far below them the laborers In the fields, and later pie going to their work, could watch Frank and Reginald could see the peo- aee them returning home again, tired and dusty. Everywhere they could see the com motion enused by their appearance. Al though Frank purposely kept aa high In the air os he could, the airship was seen by the inhabitants of the towns nnd cities beneath. But the winged ship of the air flew too swiftly for them to be able to determine whether It was a man-made machine or some monster bird of a species unknown. The second night came on. At mid night Frank roused Reginald, who was sleeping. "Are we near the journey's end, said. Reginald snlfTed the air with Its tang of salty breezes. "Are we near the aea7" he said. "The air smells salty." "We are nearing Portsmouth, N. H., 1 said Frank. "If my compass and maps are right, and I think they are. I am going to circle around the town until I llnd some deserted spot about three miles distant where I can leave this airship. "You can readily Imagine that I might as well give you back to the New York authorities as to land you anywhere In a city or town. The de- scmrlptlon of this airship has been telegraphed all over the country by now. But the last part of our Journey lias been made by night, so I think we have thrown them off the track. After we land the airship we must v-alk Into Portsmouth. Wc shall reach there before daylight, and then I will take you to a sea captain I know. He Is under the greatest obligations me, for I defended him when he was tried for his life for the murder o! Ms wife, and acquitted him against great odds. He would do anything for me. I shall not wish to talk'with you before him. so I will give yoif all neces. stry Instructions now. but to bellpve the boy's promises for the future. . He Anally landed the airship In a dense grove three miles from Ports mouth. Frank, from his knowledge of the country, knew that with good luck It might remain there several weeks without discovery. He completely cov ered it with the tarpaulin carried for such emergencies beneath the tiny cabin, and then set out with Reginald for the lonely walk to Portsmouth. They found Captain Briggs, and Frank quickly made the arrangements for the voyage. Then leaving the buy In the care and the cabin of the old captain, than which there was no safer place In the United States, he made his way to a quiet hotel, registered as Wil liam Dirk, and throwing himself ex hausted upon a bed, slept until the sun streamed Into his room and awak ened him. Then he arose, paid his bill, went to a store, bought a suitcase and some necessities and took the train for Ban gor. There he went to a first-class hotel, boldly registering as Charles Richards, of Boston, and called for telegraph blanks. He knew that Barker's mall and telegrams would be watched, but he and Barker had not conducted some of the moat famous criminal cases of the day for nothing, and so the cipher telegrams which he sent out from Ban gor were not addressed to Barker, but to a quiet, unassuming little grocer, an old neighbor of Barker, the last man cn earth to be suspected of ever know. Ing enough to carry on an Intrigue of any Jtlnd. Through Barker he learned startling <Mngs. That Schmidt, under the name of Mueller, had bought a few months be fore a beautiful estate called The Hol low. In Moorcombe, near Cleveland, Ohio. That since he had bought It he had evidently become enamored of Judge Thurston’s beautiful daughter, Sylvia. • That he had divided hla time for the last few months between Moorcombe and the little apartment beneath the one where Reginald and hla young wife lived In New York. That he had hurried back to Moor combe the day after Reginald's escape In the airship, evidently letting hi* ad miration for Sylvia Thurstpn get the upper hand of hla secret purpose In •The captain will make a special voyage to France for me. You will go as a passenger In seclusion. You must keep to your room all the way and pretend to be 111. When you reach the other elde the captain will supply yru with money for your immediate necessities. He will give you an ad dress by which you can always com municate with him. ••You must never try to communicate with me direct; always through him. He will always.have funds for your needs. He will always be able to get In touch with me If you need me. It is needless to say that you must not use your own name. I would suggest that of Henry Brice. “I must caution you also, Reginald,’ he apoke solemnly, “that your whole method of life must change while this terrible suspicion rests upon you. You are hiding for your life and your vin dication. You must not attract atten tion to yourself by extravagent expen- . dltures or reckless living. aadWHMKEY HABITS ! Reginald protested again and again I the’latte"and a^ouc^Frank'rerSm! New York. "To Moorcombe I will go," said Frank to himself. Then he kept the wires busy with Instructions for Barker. Barker wps Its go tp Moorcombe and And a secluded farm with an Immense barn upon It. He was to buy that farm at any price, nnd send Hudson down with things to make the house habit able. He was to give out that the man who was to live there was a physician who was making the culture of the germs of various deadly and contag ious diseases. This would secure for him the Isolation he deelred. Barker also was to set on foot rigorous Investigation of Mueller or Schmidt, and do everything from a le gal standpoint to establish Reginald'*. Innocence of the crime of wilful murder with which. Barker's advisers showed that the coroner’s Jury had charged the fugitive youth. Barker carried out hla Instructions to the letter.
