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.
