I survived the ordeal of the departure with a brave smile, but it changed to a bitter smile when I thought that, the ordeal being over, there was no hurt left in life which I could not survive. Jimmy-boy took my arm and suggested that we walk back to the hotel. Jim has acquired a most understanding heart since he enter ed the air service. He is quieter than he used to be, and seems al most too old for the boy he really is, m years. The change, I suppose, is due to flying, almost daily, he gam bles with death. Jim had the sense not to touch upon the tension between Bob and me. And although my heart was breaking, although I would have rev eled in an unlimited amount of sym pathy, I didn’t refer to my differ ences with my husband. The first rule of my own little code for wives is that they must never discuss a husband’s short-comings, aot even with relatives. The corol lary is, I suppose, that they must nev er listen to the complaints other wom en make about their husbands! Jim rather over-pretended in his little effort to comfort me. He prophesied a speedy return of the search party after a successful ad venture. I believed in the success rather than in the speed of the expedition. I jealousy pictured a prolonged picnic jaunt—a delightful camping party on the Lorimer property after the res cue! 'lt might last a month—and how Katherine Miller would enjoy it! And it wasn’t fair—the men were not fair—they had been shocked at the idea that I wanted to go along! “Jimmy-boy! Let’s fly down that way,” I pleaded. “Cut the teasing, Jane ’’ command ed my brother-in-law. “I told you once, my dear, that absodamlutely I wouldn’t take that bus over the mountains. But I’ll take you up— tomorrow—for your first flying les son, Sissy I*' Jim went on to explain that he KoirADVENTURE’S I OP TUB TWINS Bflk. MM dive Roberta Barton ,'THE OSTRICH MAKES A MEAL. QUDDENLY the curly yellow 1 os *■* trich pulled hi? head out of the ground again with a jerk and blinked his big eyes. “There’s something the matter with me,” he said. “I believe I’m hungry. Yes, I’m sure of it. Very hungry! 11 should like a railroad spike for my dinner, a delicious, tender railroad! spike with a flat top.” Nick and Nancy were relieved to ■ hear this, for they had an idea that i “Oh, You Naughty Bird?” Cried Nick. “You’ve Eaten Our Best Friend.

No, that’s not it, either. Oh, well, it doesn’t matter. The thing is, what am I to eat?” And the os trich blinked his eyes again to show how fast he was thinking.

They [ were experts and corking fine fel , lows, too. One had been a “flying 1 sergeant. " He must see “Serg." at ; once and set the hour for my lesson 1 next day. The bus had once had a 1 dual control system. Undoubtedly - “Serg” could supply an extra joy- • stick. I suggested that Jim leave me at • a souvenir shop about a block from > the hotel. I wanted to buy a toy > for Babs. But new toys are hard ■ to find for a child who has as many as Babs owns. When at last I left i the shop with my package, it was I dark. Though I had but a block to ! walk, though there was quite a crowd • in the street, 1 felt afraid. By some strange sense, I realized • that I was being trailed. I felt rath er than saw that a half-breed was ' following only a step behind me. I ■ had seen the man hanging arcfund the , station. I clutched my purse sup posing that, it was what he wanted. I ran my arm through the long leath er handle and twisted the strap be tween my fingers. I was determined > not to lose the bag. It contained the notes Katherine Miller had written to Bob. “Senora!” said the Indian in my ear. He spoke softly, but I jumped ' and turned ;t very scared face fo rward him. As if to reassure me, the man murmured, “Meeses Lorimer!” I Then he pushed a piece of paper into !my hand and drifted away with the i passing crowd. j I hurried into the lighted lobby of J the hotel, gave the soiled envelope a ! single glance, and knew that in spite of my decision to have done forever with adventure, a new episode, per haps one involving great danger— was beckoning to me. Never can I forget my emotion as I ran up to my room to tear the con tents from that note. It was written in the peculiar and elegant back-hand of Katherine Mil ler. (To be continued.) “I’ve got it!” he cried. “If I can’t get a spike I’ll have to find some thing that looks like one. What was that thing that I saw around here a few minutes ago, that pushed me and told me to wake up?” “Oh, that’s our Magical Mush room cned Nancy in ala’ - m. “You wouldrt’t eat it!” But she was too late. Before she could stoop to put their little fairy friend into her pocket, the ostrich made a quick dive with his beak and gulp—the Mushroom was gone! All they could see of it was the big lump that kept going further and further down the ostrich’s long neck. “Oh, you naughty bird!” cried Nick. “You’ve eaten our best friend. Now, we’ll never find our monkey.” But what the ostrich replied soun ed exactly like bird talk; the twins couldn’t make out a word. The Mush room was not there to help them un derstand, you know.
