CHAPTER XXII.
Into the Air.
When the tire of the automobile
burst Loftus gave a groan. He had
staked his reputation upon the capturo
of this young millionaire. It would
have been tho greatest triumph of his
career ns a detective.
Ur. Schmidt, nfter his first muttered
exclamation, said nothing, but worked
diligently. He brought the machine to
a standstill, Jumped down, unstrapped
an emergency tire from tho renr of
tho machine,and nt once set to work
repairing the dnmage with all the skill
of an experienced chauffeur.
The detectives clmfted ut the delay,
but there was nothing to be done but
wait. It wuh fully half an hour before
the damaged tiro had been replaced
and they were ready to start.
Dr. Srhmtdt put on redoubled speed
nnd the automobile sped along the
broad, smooth boulevard thnt par
alleled the lake. They flnully reached
the quiet, shaded streets of the suburb/
No one was stirring In the village and,
according 4o time-honored custom, the
street lamps were extinguished because
It was moonlight
They lost several minutes going
through Hie winding streets of the town
In nn attempt to locate the house which
one of tho detectives had seen. Finally
they found the night watchman, who
Joined them and directed their course.
As they drew up In front of the tnas-
rlvc door of the Hrucebrldgo home, the
deteetlves drew a deep breath of satis
faction.
"We're here ahead of them, said Lof-
tus. "The houso Is dark. We can
surround It und take them wben they
come In.” 1
"Good Heavens!" Interrupted Blt-
tlnger, "what was that?"
A noise like the rushing ot wind
sounded above their heads. They all
looked toward the sky. From the yoqf
ot tho house a graceful blrdllke ma
chine rose slowly, swayed unsteadily,
ten righted Itself and begun rising up
ward In long graceful sweeps.
Loftus was the only one ot the party
retain Ills presence of mind
whipped <vit his revolver and sent shot
nfter shot after the retreutlng phe
nomenon.
“An airship, by all that's holy!" cried
Blttlnger, "and the two of them In It."
Loftus looked at his empty gun rue,
fully.
"This settles It for now," he said. "
ran chiue unythlng on land or water,
but when they take to the air they've
got me beaten to a standstill/'
In ths Heavens.
As the airship swept upward into
the blue vault of the heavens, Reginald
slipped from his seat In the tiny cabin
to the floor In a dead fnlnt. Frank,
who was nt tho engine, slowed down
the apparatus and brought the ship to
u standstill. Then cautiously musing
his way to Reginald's side he felt heart
and pulse.
"It's only a faint," he decided, reas
curing himself.
Then he sprinkled some water on
Reginald'* face from the small enter
gency cask which he had tilled Just be.
fore startling the Blrshlp. He chafed
tho scnscles man's lips and forehead
and forced a little brandy front his
pocket flask between his white Ups.
In another moment Reginald opened
his eyes and hstked around him.
“Lie still, Reg,” commanded Frank,
'nnd go to sleep If you can. You are
safe now for the present, and I will
have to give nil my attention to the
steering of this machine. The best
thing you can do for me and for your
self Is to rest quietly."
He propped Reginald up against the
low running seat, put a cushion under
his head und resumed his place at the
engine.
Never had Frank Rracehrldge had
such a problem ns that which confront,
cd him while Reginald lay half con
scious In the tiny cabin, and he guid
ed the airship at nn almost Incredible
rate of speed over sleeping cities and
vlllnges and quiet stretches of meadows
and forests.
First, he must get Reginald out of
i the country untU he hail time to pre
pare his defense and prove hit Inno
cence. Second, he knew that he must
himself stay nwny from New York for
an indefinite period because of his re-
< slstnnce of the officers and his ron-
'nlvance at the escape ot a suspected
criminal.
Third. Reginald's missing child must
be found.
Above all—the key to all the rest—
• Mueller must be trared.
Frank shut his teeth and clenched
■ Ids hands more flrmly on the lever as
; lie thought of that leering devil who
! confronted him at every turn.
that he was firmly convinced.
Mueller also held the missing fourth
of the map and the diamond that were
necessary for the completion of the
Rracehrldge trust.
Mueller was bent upon the destruc
lion of Mme. Blavlnsky, the beautiful,
mysterious woman who had such a hold
upon Frank's Imagination.
Mueller, Mueller, Mueller! The name
rang In Frank's ears Incessantly,
heard It In the crying of the wind
passing his ears. He heard It in the
whir of the propellers behind him.
Even ths twitter of the birds far below
him seemed to chant the name of his
enemy.
That Reginald was not the main ob
Ject of Mueller's venom Frank well
knew. He guessed that Mueller had
only thrown the charge of murdering
Rita nn Reginald to divert suspicion
from himself. But If Reginald were
safely out of the country Mueller would
not bother his head about him. Frank
felt sure that he knew what Mueller
was searching for, what he was de
termlncd to get.
The diamond necklace, the portion of
the map held In Frank’s possession nnd
not, as Mueller supposed, In Mme. Sla-
Vinsky’s, the locket which Reginald's
dead wife had worn, the secret of mak.
magnificent necklace,ing the airship, all these were the
things which Frank knew Inspired
Mueller's deviltry.
The knowledge which he had gained
from the letter left hint by his undo
made plain to him the reason of Muel
ler’s craving for these things.
Intuition as well os reasoning told
him Mueller knew that most of these
missing links of the chain lay In his
hands.
He decided that he would spend the
next months of his life watching Muel
ler. proving his connection with the
murder of Reginald’s wife and securing
from him by fair means or foul the
missing diamond and portion of the
map which he had heard Mueller boast
of possessing. He had no scruples as
to the manner In which he should gain
possession of the stone and paper.
From what his undo had told him,
long years ago, he knew that there were
four pieces of the map anil three miss
ing stones. The necklace and one-
fourth of the map-he had In hts own
possession In trust for Reginald. One
of the stones and another quarter sec
tion of the map were also In his pos
session, given to hint by Madame Sln-
vlnsky to keep for her.
A eecvmd stone and third portion of
the map had been guarded by the
watchfulness of Katie from the rapaci
ty of Mueller, who would have snatched
thrtn from the dead hand of Reginald's
child-wife.
Frank remembered whnt his unde
had told him of Ills father's marriage to
the uncouth. Illiterate daughter of a
New England Innkeeper long before Ills
marriage to Frank's own beautiful, re
fined mother. He remembered that his
uncle had said that his father had given
to that womnn before _she died the
stone and piece of tho map which
should have gone to Frank. By the
theory of elimination Frank knew that
tljls stone and paper, rightfully be
longing to himself, Mueller held In his
possession.
How Mueller hnd secured these
things nnd what was the dark secret
that he felt must lie behind their pos
session Frank could not fathom. But
that his own share of the secret was
being withheld from him by Mueller
and that Mueller would never rest un-
he had secured the other links,
Frank felt confident.
He meant to live In the same town
with Mueller for the ensuing few
months In order that he might watch
him. What should he do with the
necklace, the two diamonds nnd por
tions of the map that lie was holding In
trust for Reginald. Mme. Slavlnsky and
Reginald’s child?
