Be careful, son, was all Dr. Paul could say.. “I will. Dad,” replied Tony, and the starter began to whine. Dr. Paul handed over the precious package containing the serum for Moosetown’s babies.

few minutes he had the Curzon Street Hospital on the telephone, and when Dr. Paul Luke arrived at the boy's homp to resume the aerial conversation, the doctor's son, Tony, a young interne, was with him. And those two, father and son, were together as they drove furiously through the streets of Montreal toward the big office building that housed the headquarters of the trading company. Hastily parking their car, they dashed into the building, and without so much as having removed their coats or mufflers, stood, hols In hand, before the great desk in the baronial office of Sir Basil Crawford. > Urgently Dr. Paul outlined the ■situation. Sir Basil fidgeted, ■hemmed and hawed, muttered, P'most irregular!” and "really frightjful weather conditions,” and "quite j&ure our resident manager is entirely competent to handle the situation.” Dr. Paul grew gtim. ‘‘Sir Basil,” he repeated firmly, "if my brother says he needs serum immediately, you may believe me that he NEEDS it immediately!” "Uncle John isn’t exactly an alarmist, sir,” broke in Tony. Sir Basil figeted again, and worried out pompous words: “I assure you I'll look into it, doctor. But so irregular a matter takes time. For one thing, those settlers up there, strictly speaking, aren't the company's responsibility, though I'm prepared to waive that point. But to send a company plane up there in this blizard—well, really, I have to think of the pilot's safety and the company’s property. Even if a plane could get through, which I beg leave to doubt, it might leave me open to criticism from the London home office—” tt tt tt WITH some asperity. Dr. Paul cut him short, "Will you send the plane?” he asked. "I will,” replied Sir Basil, fidgeting again, "as soon as meteorological conditions justify it.” "And that’s the best you can do?” Dr. Paul asked, incredulously. Sir Basil drew himself up, offended. "But what else—” he began. "I believe I can do better, sir,” spoke up Tony, smiling. "Please, Tony—" began his father, feeling that definance would get nowhere. “Can you get the serum, Dad?” asked Tony, turning to his father energetically. "Os course!” k "Then I'll fly it up myself!” he knnounced calmly. SDr. Paul looked at his son. minfted pride and fear in his eyes. "Do Rbu think you could do it. son?” he Mted quietly. “You know you Hven't many hours, and nothing ■e this. It's a job for a real pilot, Hu know.” W Father and son looked at each other for a long moment. Then, "You're not going to fuss

about it, are you, Dad!” asked Tony. “No, son,” Dr. Paul replied quietly, pride and anxiety struggling for mastery. Then he turned to Sir Basil and said without changing tone, "Good night, sir, and thank you very much indeed.” Together father and son strode from the office, leaving Sir Basil behind his desk, mouth agape as if trying to utter words that would not shape themselves. They obtained the serum and their car was on its way to the flying field. By a stroke of luck, “Greasy” McAndrew, a mechanic who had often worked on Tony's plane, was lounging in the field office. Almost before he knew it he found himself in the hangar tuning up Tony’s plane. tx x a SPUTTERING and objecting, he had been persuaded to make the flight with Tony as mechanic. Soon he had the plane fueled. Tony stood by the cockpit. Father and son ex-

changed a firm, understanding pine-and-birch woods in a bliz-

handclasp. “Be very careful, son,” was all Dr. Paul could say. “I will, Dad,” replied Tony, and climbed into the cockpit. At a signal, Greasy stood clear, the starter began to whine, the motor caught immediately, and the ship strained at the blocks as the snow whirled away beneath it in the slip-stream. “Get in, Greasy!” shouted Tony. Greasy hung back. “But listen, Tony,” he protested. “I'm gonna be married Saturday!” “We'll be back Saturday!” shouted Tony. Protesting, grumbling Greasy climbed into his seat in the front cockpit. The blocks were loosened, the motor roared, and oft across the field went the plane in a swirl of snow. Dr. Paul Luke's eyes were hungry

as they saw it lift from the field and slowly vanish in the blizzard. The city and the St. Lawrence fell away beneath the plane, ice-break-ing steamers cutting black crevasses in the frozen river to keep traffic open. The sky was a world of snowflakes as the plane headed off to the northwest. Tony had several times flown almost as far north as Moosetown on hunting expeditions during the summer months, but to do it in winter, in driving snowstorm and with skids instead of wheels to land on—that was something else again. They had nothing with them but an emergency lunch with a vacuum bottle of coffee—time had net permitted assembling an extensive kit. Just whatever they could pick up at the field. Suppose their motor failed and let them down in some of the God-forsaken bush in northern Quebec? Even if they weren’t killed in landing on a stump field or lake shore, what chance would they have of working their way to safety through miles of bush or the deep

zard? a a a TONY resolutely shut such thoughts from his mind, and brought it back with a jerk to the lakes, river-courses and small settlements below'. Ste. Genevieve was easily recognizable through the film of snovy, but he had to swoop uncomfortably low to be sure. Visibility was poor, due to the snow. Porcupine Lake he was sure of. North again, and he recognized the range of low mountains where he and his father had once hunted moose. The motor hummed a perfect tune, but it was getting terribly cold and cramped in the cockpit. Hawtrey Landing, the River Gatchin, passed by below. Yes, he was right, Tony reassured himself. The trick was to pick up Lake Winne-

macki, and then about 75 miles north and west. Somewhere, just about there, lay Moosetown. Once the motor coughed twice, and Greasy gave him a frantic signal of some kind, dived into the cockpit, and came up with a reassuring wave. Then it hummed along without a break. Strange, thought Tony; ought to be nearly to Lake Winnemacki by now. But there was nothing. Nothing but the world es snowflakes, the dulling roar of the motor, and the cold. Sometimes the driving snow would completely obscure the ground and they would be alone. Then a blast would clear the air and the dark pine woods below would stand out of the white blanket that was the earth. A smooth unbroken whiteness ahead told him it was a large lake. But to recozniae it? Tony put the plane’s nose down and skimmed closer to the lake’s surface than a more experienced pilot might have been willing to do. That point, ahead, jutting out into the lake! Wasn’t that where they camped that time on the fishing trip? The plane zoomed close to the point and rounded the turn at the end of the lake. Yes! That was it! The dead pine tree and the old fishing shack beside it. It was Lake Winnemacki, all right! a a a UP went the ship, the lake fading out into grayness, and headed north and west. From here on its was a case of trusting the course, his eyes, and his luck. He had never been so far north before. The flying snow was at times so thick that nothing whatever could be seen. Then it would ctear suddenly, swept aside by a sudden change of air current, and the endless woods and hills would again be visible. There was nothing to do but fly as near to 75 miles as he could guess, and then swoop down for a look, no matter at what risk. Tony did it. By watch and gauge he made his guess, and made his swoop. No town. But there were traces of a trail-road winding along a creek through the hills. Follow it. Nothing else to do. Again a smooth white sheet without trees told of a large frozen surface of water. Tony turned, approached, and saw the clustered buildings of a town. Drawing nearer, a cluster of people could be seen about the church and general store. Motioning to Greasy to drop a note, Tony maneuvered over the crowd. Tony’s scrawled paper: “Which . way Moosetown please signal,” fluttered down in the slipstream. Banking and turning, Tony saw the note picked up, and a frantic signaling and waving in the group. “Hang on tight!” he shouted to Greasy, “We’re going down!” The only open space was a clearing just outside the town. Turning again to get into the wind, Tony put the plane’s nose down. As he neared the ground and leveled off, he saw snow-covered stumps in the field, but it was too late. With a jounce, and a puff of powdery snow, the plane hit the field and careened crazily across it. Suddenly there was a grinding crash, the plane swung sharply around, lifted itself on one skid as if about to turn over, and stopped, with one wing crumpled and smashed. From Moosetown people came running, plowing heedlessly through the drifts, with horror, hope and fear in their hearts. (To Be Continued) GUEST TEA HELD AT DAY NURSERY Guests were to be entertained from 3 to 5 today at the Indianapolis Day Nursery at a tea given by the board of directors. Mrs. M. J.

BY GERTRUDE BAILEY BETWEEN seasons try changing the looks of your winter costumes by varying the accessories. Only don’t indulge in too many of them at once. One safe rule for the girl who goes haywire in the midst of baubles is to dress to please herself and then to remove at least two ornaments from her costume before venturing before the critical eyes of her masculine public. Right now cherry-colored gloves look very new with navy blue dresses and mink coats. A string of pearls, a pin or a bracelet (notice we say or, not and) dress up a soft blouse for your tailored suit. Yriu can add a red carnation in the buttonhole. Or a tiny shock of golden wheat will enliven a black fur collar. - One girl who likes to play with Colors hit on the idea of combining at least three in large chiffon squares, braiding them a way to fit a neckline, then puffing the fluttering ends through the beginning of the braid to torm a soft and flattering jabot. Water rose, navy and soft blue work up into a smart neckpiece for a navy blue dress. Substitute brown for the navy and you have color affinities for brown. Then there are the fuschia colors, two shades of green with off blue or yellow and brown with orange, to suggest other color schemes for you to play with. Guild to Elect Officers are to be elected at the all-day meeting of the St. Francis Hospital Guild Tuesday at the hospital. A covered-dish luncheon is to be served. Mrs. J. P. Mugivan is president.
