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'.' •••I pa; it will be a success ■ | i, n ,,v. hut us character, its use , , ( nl it !«’" I 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.

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.
