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.

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.

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.” 1 "I will run over in my mind the quali- Famous “Pint of Cough Syrup” Receipt No Better Remedy at Any Price. Fully Gnaranteed.

"There are adjustments to be made. A man of accuracy is necessary.” "I will remember.” “And he must be likable. I can do nothing with a man whom I'm not per fectly in accord." “I understand that.” “Good night then.” A moment of hesi tancy, then, "I wish not only yourself but Miss Scott to be present at this test. Pre pare her for the spectacle; but not yet, not till within a hour or two of the oc casion.” And with a proud smile In which flashed a significance which startled Oswald, he gave a hurried nod and turner] away.

Conquer his prejudices ag.ln-t nicli men as he had seen, or delay the attempt, as Oswald had suggested, till be could get one of his old cronies on from New York. He could do neither. The obstinacy of his nature was such as to offer an in vincible barrier against either sugges tion. One alternative remained. He had heard of women aviators. If Doris could be induced to accompanj’ him into the air, instead of cling sodden-like to the weight of Oswald’s woe, then would the world be hold a triumph which would dwarf the ecstasy of the bird's flight and rob the eagle of his kingly pride.
