It was some minutes before either
spoke and then it was Oswald who said:
“I must confide to you certain facts.

I which, filled up the gap. united those two
i hearts, as the old and young are seldom
| united. 1
I But when a little later. Mr. Chailoner
I rejoined Doris, in her sitting room, he '
- nevertheless showed a perplexity she had
' hoped to see removed by the understand- I
ing with the pounger Brotherson.
The cause became apparent as soon as :
he spoke.
“These brothers hold by each other,” 1
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 be believed in this 1
■ matter. Me does not seem to think that 1
' necessary. He evidently regards Orlando’s 1
I personality as speaking as truly and satis-
j factorily for itself as his own does. And
' I dared not undeceive him."
"He does not know all our reasons for
i distrust.
I "He has heard nothing about the poor 1
• washerwoman."
"No, and he must not not for weeks. '
He has borne all that he can.”
“His confidence in his older brother is
sublime. Ido not share it: but I can not '
help but respect him for it."
It was warmly said, and Mr. Chailoner
could not forbear casting an anxious look
at her upturned face. IVhat he saw there
made him turn away with a. sigh.
"This confidence lias for me a very tin- 1
happy side." he remarked. “It shows me
Oswald's thought. He who loved her
best. a> cepts the cruel verdict of an un
reasoning public."
Doris' large eyes burned with a, weird
I light upon his fac|.
"He has not had my dream." she mur
mured. with all the quiet of an unmoved
conviction.
Yet as the days went by. aven her man- j
ner changed towards the busy inventor.!,
ITt was hardly possible for it not to. The ;
high stand he took: the regard accorded
j him on every side: his talent; his conver- 1
I satfon, which was an education in itself. 1
1 and. above all, bis absorption tn a work
dafl'v 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 his honor,
was associated, that, unconsciously to ’
herself, she gradually lost her icy air of
repulsion and lent him a more or less 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 1
upon her that toleration merged from day
to day Into admiration and memory lost
itself in anticipation of the event which i
was to prove him a man of men. if not I
„ne of ’he 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 unfa
vorable results and Orlando decided from
tl,is that the .time lad come for an ex
..lanation of his device and bis require
ment" m regard to it Heated together in
Oswald ■,.,.m he broached the subject
'Oswald, wi at t* out idea about whai
) rn making up there'.'

Find the girl whose new stays have just come that morning
‘Tve an idea; but my idea don’t fit the
conditions."
"How’s that?”
"The shed is too closely hemmed in.
You haven't room—”
“For what?"
"To start an aeroplane."
"Yet it is certainly a device for Hying."
“I supposed so: but—”
“It is an air car with a new and valu
able idea —the idea for which the whole
world has been seeking ever since the
first aeroplane found its way up from the
earth. My car needs no room to start in
save that which it occupies, if it did. it
would be but the modification of a hun
dred others."
"Orlando!”
As Oswald thus gave expression to his
surprise, their two faces were a study; the'
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
not rise from the oval of my hangar like
a bird from’ its nest, and after a wide and
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 I want just now
is a sympathetic helper—yon. for instance;
some one who will aid me with the final
fittings and hold his peace to all eternity
if the impossible occurs and the thing
proves 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 1 have just

firn s; sometimes a part of a part was all

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. I must startle, or re
main obscure. That is why I chose this
place for my venture, and you for my
helper and associate. '
"You wan< me to ascend with you."
"Exactly.”
"At tlie end of three days”
“Yes.”
’’Orlando. I can not."
"You can not? Not strong enough yet?
I’ll wait then three days more
"The time’s too short. A it onth is |
scarcely sufficient. It would be folly, such |
a<k you never show, to trust a nerve 1
undermined as mine till time has restored |
its power. For an enterprise like this you i
need a man of read) strength and re- I
sources; not one whose condition you j
might be obliged to consider at a very
critical moment. ’’
Orlando, balked thus at the outset, i
showed his displeasure
"You do not do Justice to your will. It |
is strong enough to carry you through I
anything.”
"It was.”
"You can force it to act for you."
"I fear not, Orlando."
“I counted on you and you thwart me I
at file most critical moment of my life.”
Oswald smiled; his whole candid and
generous nature bursting into view, in '
one quick t)b <, h.
“Perhaps." he assented "hut you will

“<’an you wait a month?”
“No.”
“A fortnight, then?”
“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 had no reply for the same
importunate question urged by his own
good sense, lie knew that he must make
the attempt upon 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 days, but’ not
for an indeterminate time. If ho wore to
be saved from folly—from himself—events
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
car to be serviceable must be ready to
meet lightning and tempest, and what is
worse, perhaps, an insufficient crew.”
Then rising, lie exclaimed, with a deter
mination which rendered him majestic,
“If help is not forthcoming. I’ll do it all
myself. Nothing shall hold mo back;
nothing shall stop me; and when you see
me and mj' car rise above the tree tops,
you’ll feel that I have done what 1 could

understood and flashed a grateful look his
way before saying:
“You will make the attempt at night?”
“Certainly.”

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am eighteen years old and have
been very dear friends with a young
man a year older than myself since
we were mere children. We have
never quarreled, and everything
points to the same conditions in the
future. It is very probable, at this
rate, that We may some day marry,
but it would not be for many years.
Now. do you think it Is right for us
to go on in this way?
FRENCH.
You arc confusing friendship will,
love, and are drifting into an engage
ment simply because you have always
"got along" well together. Such a mar
riage may result happily, but you miss
much of the sweetness of love.
Find out if you really care for him
in the right way. If you don’t, enc
this monopoly of your time before the
implied engagement keeps a real lover
away.
SHE COMMITTED NO CRIME.

to accept that ring" I know she

Cottolene
food is never greasy
Cottolene is a vegetable fat
made from the purest and
choicest cotton oil. It con
tains not an ounce of hog fat.
Cottolene makes delicious
pastry —crisp and flaky. For
fiying, it can be heated to a
much higher temperature
than butter or lard, and forms
a coating which prevents the
absorption of the fat
Cottolene is every bit as
good as, and much cheaper
than butter for cooking. It is
far better
than lard; it is f
richer, and
will go
third farther
than either. It *
is the most
