It was some minutes before either
spoke and then it was Oswald who said:
"1 must confide to you certain facts,
i honored your daughter and realized her
position fully. Our plight was never made
In words, nor should I have presumed to
advance any claim, to her hand if 1 had
n< t made good ny expectations. Mr. Chai

and yours by acts, not words. I felt tha*

ared to work and wait. T loved her—"
’• turned away his head and the silence
which tilled up the gap. united those tw
earts, as th • old and yo mg are seldom
united.
But when . i’ltle later Mr. Challoner
rejoined Doris, in her sitting room, lie
nevertheless dtotved a perplexity she had
hoped to see removed by the understand
ing with the nounger Rrotherson.
The cause became apparent as soon as
he spoke.
“These brothers hold by each other,”
said he.
“Oswald will hear nothing against Or
lando. He says that he has redeemed his
fault. He does not even protest that his
brother’s word is to he believed In this
ni;'. ter. He does not seem to think that
necessary. He evidently regards Orlando's
personality as speaking as truly and satis
factorily for itself as h’s own does And
I dared not undeceive him."
“He does not know all our reasons for
distrust
“He has heard nothing about the poor
washerwoman."
“No, and ho must not not for weeks
He lias borne all that he can."
“His confidence in his older brother is
sublime. Tdo not share it: but I dim not
help but respect blm for it."
It wr.s warmly said, and Mr. Chaiioner
could not forbear easting an anxious look
at her upturned face. What he saw there
made him turn away with a sigh.
“This confidence has for me a very un
happy side." ho remarked. “Ft shows me
Oswald's thought. H< who loved her
best, accepts the cruel verdict of an un
reasoning public."
Doris’ large eyes burned with a weird
light upon his face.
“He has not had my dream." she mur
mured. with all the quiet of an unmoved
conviction.
T e t a s the days went by. even her man
ner changed towards the bus. inventor.
It was hardly pos Ible for it not to. The
high stand he took, the regard accorded
him on every side; his talent; his como
sation. which was an education in itself,
and. above all, his absorption in a work
daily advancing towards completion, re
moved him so insensibly and yet so decid
edly, from the hideous past of tragedy
with which his name, if not Ids honor,
was associated, that, unconsciously to
herself, she gradually lost her lev air of
repulsion and lent him a more or Jess at
tentive ear. when he chose to join their
small company of an evening The re
sult was that he turned so bright a side
upon her that toleration merged from day
to day Into admiration and memory lost
Itself in anticipation of the event which
was to prove him a man of men. if not
one of th world s greatest mechanical
geniuses
Meantime. Oswald was steadily improv
ing In health. If not in spirits He had
taken his first walk without any tnfa
vorable results, and Orlando decided from
this that the time bad come for an ex
planation of his device and bls require
ments- in regard to It. Seated together in
Oswald's room, he broached the .subject
’'’•'•Oswald. What Is your idea about what
I'm making up there?”
“Thai ft will be a suc< >•«.-.
“I know, but its chaiavtci, its use
W hat do you think it Is/"
Find the girl whose new stays have just come that morning-.
I "I've an idea; but my idea don't fit the
I < onditions."
“How’s llV't?"
"The shed is too closely hemmed in.
. You haven’t room—"
"For what?"
“To start an aeroplane."
Yet it is certainly a device for flying."
J “I supposed so: but —"
, I "It is an air car with a new and valu
i able idea —the idea for which the whole
1 world has been seeking ever since the
■ ' first aeroplane found its way up from the
• earth. My car needs no room to start in
I save that which it occupies. If it did, it
I would be but the modification of a hun
dred others.”
i ”f>-lando!"
, ' As Oswald thus gave expression to his
on pii.se, their two faces were a study; the
. I fire of genius in the one: the light of sym
, pathetic understanding in the other.
"If this car, now within three days of
' its completion.” Orlando proceeded, "does
I not rise from the oval of my hangar like
. , a bird from its’ nest, and after a wide and
I circling flight descend again into the self
same spot without any swerving from its
direct course, then have I failed In my
endeavor and must take a back seat with
; the rest. But it will not fail. I'm certain
. of success, Oswald. All 1 want just now
. Is a sympathetic helper—you. for instance;
Some one who will aid me with the final
fittings and hold fils peace to all eternity
if the impossible occurs ami the thing
i pr< ves a failure."
“Have you such pride as that?"
“Precisely."
“So much that you can not face fail
. ure?”
"Not when attached to my name. You
can see how I feel about that by the se
crecy I have worked under No other
, person living knows what I have Just
commi'nlcati d to you. Every part shipped
here came from different manufacturing
firm sometimes a part of a part was all
I allowed to be made in any one place.
; My fame, like my ship, must rise with one
bound into the air, or it must never rise
at all. I was not made for petty accom
plishment. or the slow plodding of com
. monplace minds. 1 must startle, or re
main obscure. That is why I chose this
place for my venture, and you for my
! helper and associate."
I “Yim want me to ascend with you?"
"Exactly.”
"At the end of three days?"
“Yes.”
"Orlando, 1 can not.”
"You cun not" Not strong . nuugh yet?
' I I'll wait then —three days more."
■ ‘ "The time's too short. A month is
scarcely sufficient. It w< uid be folly, such
as you never show, to trust a nerve so
undermined as mine till time has restored
‘ its power. For an enterprise like this you
need a man of ready strength and re-
. sources; not one whose condition you
might be obliged to consider at a very
critical moment."
f Orlando, balked tints at the outset,
showed his displeasure.
. "You do not do justice to your will. It
is strong enough to carry you through
, anything."
"It WHS."
t "You ••an f ice il to act for you."
i “1 fear not. Orlando.”
• “J counted on you and you tbwar' me
I at the most critical moment of my life."
Oswald smiled; his whole candid and
generous nature bursting Into view, in
I ■ one quick flash.
“Perhaps,” he assented; "but you will
i thank me when you r alize my weakness.
Another num must be found -quick, deft.
. secret, yet honorably alive to the Irnpor
i : tanoe of the occasion ami your rights a
t a great original thinker and mechani
cian.”
i "Do you know such a man?"
"I don’t; but there must lie many such
among our workmen."
‘ "There isn't mu.; and I haven't firm to
aeJMi to Brooklyn. 1 reckoned on you "
II "Can you wait a month?"
' "No.”
"A fortnight, then?"
I “No, not ten days.”
Oswald looked surprised. He would like
to have asked why such precipitation was
necessary, but the tone In which this ul
timatum was given was of that decisive
character which admits of no argument.
He, therefore, merely looked his query.
But Orlando was not one to answer looks;
besides, he bad no reply for the same
’ importunate question urged by his own
> good sense. He knew that lie must make
the attempt unon which his future rested
soon, and without risk of the sapping In
fluence of lengthened suspense and weeks
of waiting He could hold on to those
> two demons leagued in attack against
him, for a definite seven daNs, but not
for an indeterminate time. If he were to
be saved from folly—from himself—events
r must rush.
He, therefore, repeated his no, with
increased vehemence, adding, as he
marked the reproach In his brother's eye.
"I can not wait. The test must be made
’ on Saturday evening next, whatever the
conditions; whatever the weather. An air
1 car to be serviceable must be ready to
1 meet lightning and tempest, and what is
worse, perhaps, an insufficient crew."
Then rising, he exclaimed, with a deter
-1 mination which rendered him majestic,
“If help is not forthcoming. I'll do it all
’ myself. Nothing shall hold me back;
nothing shall stop me; and when you see
me and my car rise above the tree tops,
you'll feel tiiat I have done what I could
to make you forget—”
He did not need to continue. Oswald
1 understood and flashed a grateful look his
way before saying:
“You will make the attempt at night?"
"Certainly.”
1 "And on Saturday?"
"I've said It.”

The effectiveness of this simple remedy
is surprising. It, seems to hike hold in

obstinate cough in 24 hours. It tones
up the jaded appetite and is just laxa

and has a pleasing taste. Also excellent
for bronchial trouble, throat tickle, sore
lungs and asthma, and an unequaled
remedy for whooping cough and croup.
This recipe for making cough remedy

"There are adjustments to be made. A

"I will remember.”
“And he must be likable. I can do

“I understand that.”

And with a proud smile In which flashed
a significance which startled Oswald, he
gave a hurried nod and turner] away.

It Is not every one we want to have share

that he could not. Two hands were nec

Oswald had suggested, till be could get

He could do neither. The obstinacy of
his nature was such as to offer an in

instead of cling sodden-like to the weight
