CHAPTER XXX. H J EE I E\ EI) of ■ a nc leaped head V iggt ,| hole appeared in the wing just above Dave * lorchcad. It looked u-tern. The guard wa kneeling, aiming for a ccond shot. Dave hunched his shoulders ami waited. Too soon to pull the ship off. She'd just sag in the air ami pancake fnto the tic s. He’d ju i have to sit there and take it. The slugs from the shotgun napped past like the cracking of a whiplash. The gla • dial on the altimeter splintered into a thou and hits. Too close, that. The. plane’, tail was up. The wheels w« i bouncing on the uneven giouml with rapid fire jolts. The black dg, of the orange grove was ru king toward tin n hk.an cxpre.->, tru n Dave pulled back on the joy si a k. ’1 tie bow rose instantly. The little ship shot upward a! a di/./.y angle, leaving the citrus groves far beneath her fat balloon tire,. It thundered up through the night sky, a thing throbbing with life, alert, responsive to his slightest pressure on the controls.

I lying High. He threw : T OVCI on her beam enda, glorying n t . of the black-and ilver horizon beyond the . .iibby cylinders of the radial engine. Cutting a wide, swinging cinT aro jol the clear mg. hi stared down at the long apron of white light from the hangar door. The cool air swept hack again.-t his face in a steady, fluid-like*xLcum which seemed io wash his brain clear of the turmoil that had possessed it these past •few hours It seemed to give rtrcngt* h to hi“ battered muscles, to pw!>e the a hrx which bud racked

looking for him and probably Dump straight into Mueller and his cang of professional thugs. So Dave turned southward and steered h - ship over the precise rows of Dees that glinted in the moonlight a- if their leaves had been hammered out of coin silver. The dig nilied hulk of the old plantation house stood in the little clearing by the black ribbon of the county road, its lighted windows cheerful warm and hospitable. He hoped 'bat his friends would he on the D’.mt lawn, where he could wave down at them and, perhaps, shut ofl his engine and shout to them l -> hurry on to St. Petersburg. The thin beams of an automo!"l" s headlights suddenly sprang into being directly in front of the house. That, he thought, would lie Lorry's ear, ready to start away Hr hoped that the hoys had persuaded Joan and Sally to go with them. But as his little plane fled over the groves he saw the headlights swivel around until they pointed hac k toward the abandoned village Of Cathay. They slid ahead, pa c-d along the uneven road and wore extinguished hy the overhanging houghs of trees as comP'' tely as if some invisible monster had gulped them down in one gar-

gantuan mouthful.

Dave stared ineredulou.-ly at the s|">t where the lights had hern. hy should a car be traveling toward Cathay instead of away from it'.’ St, Petersburg was toward the w d, not toward the east. Surely that could he no other ear than Gerry's. He shoved forward on lb,- control stick, nosing down into a long power-glide to increase his forward speed. Could it have been, h'- wondered anxiously, Mueller’s truck taking the plantation house in a flank attack? Where, then w-ere Gerry and Talbot? Sometnintf was very wrong. The roof of the old house swept up at the careening plane. The tires on the little wheels almost flicked the ridgepole. That dark spot beside the road was Joan’s Eord. But the long, graceful His-puno-Suiza was not there. Dave almost jerked the joystick out of its socket as he whirled his ship around in a terrific vertical hank. There were two girls upon the lawn. They flashed beneath the i ockpit, the warm glow from the lighted windows of the house outlining their figures clearly ageing the black earth. He saw Sally

and Barbara standing there, their upturned faces pale white ovals in the moonlight. Their arms were rigidly outstretched, pointing down the road after the cur which had vanished beneath the trees. Pointing toward Cathay. Sally and Barbara alone. Joan was not with them, nor Gerry, nor Talbot. Dave saw a scraggy turpentine pine reaching up to spear the fragile wings of his thundering plane. Without lonsciou.* effort he threw his weight upon the controls, lifting her how straight into the air like the nead o, burking broncho. The ’bought flashed through his mind that he nad hut om; chance in a thou-and of avoiding those skeleton like branches. But in the next instant the little ship was clear, dragging her wheels through th, outstretched twigs as she soared up to safety. Around, then, back over th' kumquat grove and the lawn, to be perfectly sure that Sally and Barbara were alone. Tree* rushed beneath the wheel like a mighty ribbon of black and silver shadows. Dave did not or them. lie saw only those two lonely girls, stand ing there in front of the house, still pointing toward Cathay. The monoplane hurdled the onru hing roof and pointed toward Cathay as if of its own volition Across groves, scrubland and jun gle it pounded, it throbbing engine in tune with Dave’s thumping heart. Beneath the outstretched houghs of the ti vi were two long sliver of light, creeping ahead at a snail's pace. Then they wera he nrath the roaring plane. Beneath and astern. But between the inter stives of the branches Dave had glimpsed but two heads in th' front seat. Two heads instead of three Where was Joan? It did no occur to him that Gerry or Talbot might he mi ing. Something told him that Joan wu gone and he did not question his intuition. Bick io I in lunglr. Over there, to the left, was the gaunt skeleton of a huge, sprawl ing building. That, he decided wav the unfinished hotel. Just beyond a long, single-storied structure of what might once have been golf links. Now the jungle was swallowing them up. The greens were covered • gi • - to hasards obliterated hy the rank vegetation On the other side of the country club was a block of stores. The steady light of tit' moon revealed lure and, too, their tileless roof Broken windows glittered from their facades; shattered glass winked up from the cabbage palm and palmettos that were growing through cracks in the sidewalk. Here, a hundred yards to the right, was the little clump of houses where the liquor had been stored. Bright lights were darting about' beneath the trees. Dave plummeted down on the junglesubmerged dwellings like an avenging angel. The irregular blotches of shadows were confusing. The beams of the tlashlights started from nowhere and ended nowhere. He found hi automatic—Joan’s automatic—already in his hand. But how was he to know where to shoot? If Joan were somewhere down there his bullets might smash through her flesh and hone instead of finding their mark in the body of one of those cut-throat gangsters. (To B« ContinucH '

M. \NT 15,0M TREES %S MEMORIAL TO SLAIN SHERIFF MONTICELLO, Ind., May 0.—A 'iving memorial of 15,000 coniferous •roes on the Diamond Point game and forest preserve on upper Fake Freemali north of here will he dedicated Sunday’, May 1(1 in memory of the late | Sheriff Ray Fisher, who was killed in performance of his duty on March 15. An appropriate dedicatory sirvice has been arranged by the members of the White County chapter of he Izaak Walton League, who enrineered the planting anti who are the ustodians of the preserve which is on land owned by William F. Collins, Inlianapolis, national director of the league. The service will attract national and -tate officials here. It is the most ex-ten.-ivc type of living monuments ever to he planned in the -tate and White county Waltonians are pace setters in the movement. Instead of erecting a memorial out of cold steel and concrete in which a contractor would profit, a living monument which will grow more beautiful each year, will commemorate the passing away of | this official who died on duty. The public in general i.- invited to attend. , Dr. U. G. Leazenby, honorary presi-1 dent of the organization and pastor J of the local Methodist Episcopal church, will be the principal speaker. A large red granite boulder taken from the shores of the Tippecanoe river has been set in a semi-circle of tree.- and on it will he placed a bronze tablet. This planting of 15,000 trees is the second of a group of 00,000 trees to be put in the ground. This planting, said to he the most extensive ever attempted in the state, got underway last year when 15,000 trees were set out. T he same number were planted this year in memory of the deceased official. At the preserve the organization has a pheasant propagation program well under way and this year will release several hundred birds in the county. A family of American beavers also inhabit the preserve. No I RAFI K SO No s XDDLEHORN TOMBSTONE, Ariz., (Ul*)—.Adoption of the English saddle us a part of standard equipment for up to date “dude” ranches has resulted in a general controversy in this region as to the origin of the year’s prize “tenderfont” story. An eastern eirl, the story goes, selected a horse to ride and when asked whether she wanted a saddle with a horn replied that one without a horn would do as she didn’t intend to ride in traffic. Now each cowpuncher claims the story originated on his home ranch while a few sceptical ranch owners insist it is wholly fictitious.
