An Asrlal Reseue. A cry of horror want up from the women aa Mueller dictated his terms, and even the steeled heart of Bytvla Thurston softened and thoughts of vengeance were for a moment forgot ten. "Accept them, oh, accept them. Mr. Bracebrldge!" she cried. "Do not let that fiend sa-.rldce another Ilf. " There was a short consultation be tween the two figures on the airship and a moment later Mueller, coming tl the rail, ahouted. "We accept." "Shear off." cried Mueller, suddenly. "I'm not going to rtak the chance of a collision. Come below me and I'll lower the child with a rope." The larger airship was turned down ward and a few moments later was several yards below that of Mueller. Alum? the rati the man held the child as If to lower It to those anxiously awaiting below. Aa the eyes of Frank and the women were turned above them they saw the face and arm of Nurse Mason show over the side, and a moment later live revolver shots rang out from their own ship. At the same moment the voice of Loftus shouted, "Ahead. Frank!” Aa Frank Instinctively shot tha air ship ahead a cry cams from the throats of the women. Looking up he saw a small object dropping and he heard Vera’s cry. "Tha baby!” Whather by accident or design. Muel ler had loosened hla grip on the child, which was whirling through space to the racks hundreds of feet below. Then for the first time Its occu pants were given opportunity to see the marvelous control exercised over bis creation by Its Inventor. Almost with the cry of the women, Frank's huge airship dropped as hurled to the earth by a great hand. In a moment It had passed the small body, partly parachuted by the wraps In which It was swathed. In the same Instant the controlling hand at the lever had guided It directly beneath tbe falling child and slackened Its plummet-Hke descent. Before they had fairly grasped the situation Frank Bracebrldge had stepped from his place at the rudder, apparently lifted tha CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILWAY. '•D*to Pm Arrive From— Fsrsensh ....

As ths young Inventor had stepped a any from the wheel ho had reversed Its action and In great soaring circles the machine mounted up. Before It had done so tha roar of an explosion below them sounded In their ears, and a whirling cloud of snow tossed up by It showed how close to death they had swept In the rescue. A Women’s Dead. Then for the first time they looked about to underetand the cause* of the episodes. Loftus, still holding his emptied revolver, quickly explained. Pointing over the aide of the earth below he showed whsr* a great hole had been torn In It. "Dynamite." he brteflly elucidated. “I didn't like the looks of ths talk between the two and was looking out for them. I saw the old hag reach over the side with the ball which didn’t need any placard tied to It to let me know what it waa. I've seen too many before In breaking up anarchist groups. I saw shs Intended letting It drop square on our ship and let go at hee with the revolver. And 1 think I hit her. "Tou did'better than that, Loftus. You've put them out of commission effectually. They had better get to earth quickly or their time ha* surely come." Pointing to the alvehtp of Mueller, Frank quickly explained the damage wrought by the detective’s bullets, which bad missed Nurse Mason, but had entered the bottom of ths airship. "There la no protection from that kind of thing on the machine,’’ he said, "and several of those bullets have plowed right through Into the dyna mo and mechanism of ths airship. It Is beyond repair and will fall to ths ground It he does not steer it there quickly.” Mueller already had realised their peril and swiftly the airship was sailed downward until ths valley of tbe lost diamond mine was reached. Nor waa he too soon, as the machine had but a few feet to fait when It seemed to col lapse utterly and struck the ground with a crash. Its occupants seemed un. Injured by the fall, and both leaped out and gaxed up at Frank. Then Mueller reached In the cabin for hi* rifle and a moment later a shot rang out. But the range was too grest. and Frank, sending his machine higher In the air, laughed at the futile efforts of ths man. "Retributive justice surely has rssch. ed out her hsnd,” he said. "He has found the lost diamond mine. It Is his snd will be his rrave." As they spoke a sudden chill came Into the air and Vera Blavlnsky held closer to her the tiny bundle of hu manity so miraculously rescued by them. It had not been Injured by the fell and expressed Its satisfaction over Its change of quarters by gleeful chuckles. Isn't this pretty high for a ‘north- For a moment It seemed that the smoothly gilding airship had jerked suddenly as the earth seemed to sway. Far below them they could see < mighty rush of water, and the moun tain peaks seemed to bend slowly, a* If In majestic obeisance to each other. Below ths ground seemed to heave and undulate with a motion that af fected them aa with nausea and they slowly began to comprehend. “An earthquake!" cried Basil. ‘‘Yes, and a terrific one,” answered Frank. The long roll of towna de stroyed and the thousands of lives blot ted out In the Chilian horror, ns they later learned, bore out the declaration of Frank. A Catastrophe. But the eyes of one suddenly lighted up, nfthougn whether with joy, horror or ptty, she herself could not have told. That waa Sylvia Thurston, who bad never taken her eyes from the place where the airship of Mueller had set tled and lie one-time occupant stood. In tha Inclosed valley the upheave! of the earth found full vent. To the roar of tumbling rocks heard from neaks along the great rhnln a terrific crashing from the valley resounded. Great rents appeared In ths earth and Jets of sulphurous smoke mingled with the clouds of dust and debris that poured Into ths,basin. Before ths eyes of ths others aboard ths ship could return to the valley it had been blotted from tbe sight of man. A gateway of vast proportions waa at last opened to It. but It had been cre ated by the collaps* of one of the guarding mountains which piled Its vast mass up In a majestic monument to tbe diamond mine that waa forever lost from the sight or touch of man. And underneath a sepulcher mightier than the hand of man could ever cre ate were burled the bodies of Carl Mueller and his companion. , It was morning before the rocking had entirely ceased and they had op portunity to survey the ruin worked by the seismic shock. The valley Into which the airship of Mueller had descended had now be come a part of tha mountain to the north and the entrance to the tunnel where the diamonds were mined seem ed forever sealed. In one of the odd freaks that fre quently accompany earthquake shocks the plateau upon which the skeletons of the chief and the other members of the tribe rested had beep scarcely disturbed. As Frank gaxed down upon It the words of the prophecy came to him. "That part at least win be fulfilled, he said. Descending, the giant skeletons were gathered up by him. ami from the memory of the ritual, aa told him by his father, were consigned to the earth with the ceremonies so long de ferred. The ceremony proved a surprise to Frank In on* respect. As he had lift ed the wrappings of the chief to put them to the fir* rite a rattle of stones was heard from a leather bag that still held together, and Frank opened the receptacle. Into his opened hand poured scores of huge uncut diamonds. "These, at least, bear no curie, so liloquised Frank. "They ace enough for my share of the treasure of the Andes. I have found one of far great er value.” CHAPTER CVII. Two Love Stories. The return Journey of the slrbhip « as events that had preceded It. But It was far from uneventful In one sense, for It marked the development of two love stories begun In storm and stress. Tho situation was an unusual one. Two women who had culled Carl Muci ler husband sat side by side In loving sisterhood In the tiny cabin of the air ship. The beautiful Baroness Blavlnsky was. however, oftonest to he found close to Frank's Side at the steering propeller, while Sylvia nestled close to Basil, on whose arm shs had corns to lean more and more. Basil passed his strong arm sround her and the two sat happily looking out over the twilight. At the same moment Frank set the propeller so that the airship could guide itself straight ahead, and turned ti Mme. Blavlnsky. "This is no time for conventionality.' he said. In his straightforward way. "That man you called your husband has not been so for years. He was a fiend who deserved death. Under these circumstances I ant going to tell you what you must have guessed, for every Intonation of my voice, every glance of my eyes, lies been telling you for months. I love you. Vera, love you, love you. and I want you for my wife.” Vera Blavlnsky trembled. Then she held out her slender hands to Frank Bracebrldge. Yours forever, my king among men,’’ sho murmured. The sun rose higher and higher In the heavens. Its rays caught ths brilliance of the gems and flashed countless mil lions of fire facets Into the eyes of the air travelers. It Is an omen, Vera," said Frank, softly. "Ths curse of the Bracebrldges has been lifted at last." THE END.
