CHAPTER I. FTlHK steady, rhythmic purr of I the airplane engine was suddenly interrupted by a metal-j lie clang. Hot oil gushed from a great hole in the crankcase and, blown straight back in the wind blast from the propeller, smeared Dave Ordway's face and goggles with its vi cons slick. Instantly the splendid 220-horsrpower motor was a mass of junk, cluttering to u -top. With a sharp pang of dismay the pilot swept off his oil-smearod goggles. He pushed the control stick forward and, as the silent, crippled plane slid downward in a gentle glide, looked overside for an emergency landing place. His mouth became set in a grim, tightlipped line as he surveyed the inhospitable Florida landscape below. To his left there was a level field, plenty large for a landing, hut so far as his pre ent need was eonrented, it might as well have been upon another continent. It was obviously beyond gliding radius. But the forces of gravity an* inexorable. Land he must, and immediately. He stretched out his glide until the wind -scarcely whispered through wires and struts, hoping to find one spot where he might have a chance in a thousand of making a landing without u complete crash.

RKNO. Nev., April 2—The restora tion of wide open gambling in Nevada under sanction of a newly- ‘ ta-teJ l.iw brings to the heart of the Nevadan a new promise, a’new hope, of early prosperity and good times. Nevada was in its greatest heyday when gambling flout ishod. High stakes and affluence have always been synonymous to natives. The entire history of Nevada is interwoven with games of chance in till its forms, faro, roulette, poker,- kl ndike, and mining stock speculation—the greatest* gamble of all iu the hectic boom era. One of the largest |M*rsonal fortunes in the state had its inception over the green felt of a poker table. Gold, silver, hot liquor and gambling piovided the lure that attracted I the wanderer and adventurer to thiterritory in sufficient numtier* to admit Nevada into the Union. They brought into existence such towns aTunopah, Goldfield, Virginia City, Rhy lite, and Bullfrog. Scores of oid timeis still recollect when hundred of thou ands of dollars exchanged hands without the flicker of an eyelid Gambling houses were often thi only permanent structures in mining 1 amps providing a haven from the harsh desert elements. Courts have held ses -ion, weddings have been |>erformed, babies have been born, dying nun have spent the twilight hours of life, in their warmth. When the .-late legislature was considering the wide open gambling bill, which it later passed, there was no concerted opposition. The ‘‘unwritten code’’ of Nevada has prevaile i in recent years tolerating t all hone-t gambling, despite the stem i laws of statute books which make it a felony. Anything is (rennitted un- i dor the new law, with astoundinglv severe penalitcv for dishonesty. The press, public and business men were generally favorable to lifting the lid on gambling. Now the revenue from its licensing will go to the state, counties and cities, to care for their poor and aged, to educate children, to build good roads and support the gov-

ernment.

So was the propeller. But the wing and landing gear could be mended. Then ho surveyed the wide swath of orange and grapefruit trees through which he had swept m his descent. At least 60 of them had been damaged, some slightly,

mangy-looking turpentine pines, N red perhaps half the distance to tump-littered wa -te land, stretches the clearing when he heard the

of semi-tropic jungle and, here and there, rent squares and parallelograms of citrus groves. Far to the west, a state highway - tretched from horizon to horizon, straight as a ruled line. Four or five houses within his range of vision gave the harassed pilot ( lie* r. If he cracked up, someone might come to dig him out of the wreckage. Tin* orange groves looked softer than the scrawny turpentine pines so, as a last resoit, he turned the how of his crippled little -hip toward them.

Rounding the lower branches of a handsome, full-bearing tree, he stopped short, amazed at the pair who were walking toward him. Dressed in blue denim overalls which terminated in knee-length snake boots were two girls, each of whom, beneath the wide-brim-

kts of coarse straw,

sewed of a beauty ro unusual that the llier stared at them with outright astonishment. She who led the way eyed Dave with patent di -

favor.

“I’m sorry,” he said, "hut I’m afraid I've ruined a lot of your trees. My engine went bad and I had to land where 1 could.” “Let's look at the damage,” she sftid coldly.

“I didn’t know it was a landing field,” he retorted, nettled by her brusqueness. "And even if 1 had known it, l couldn’t have stretched my glide that far.

Perhaps a year younger than the other, she resembled her in some vague, indefinable way d( =pite the fact that the two contrasted in almost every feature.
