A Story of Mystery and Adventure BY VICTOR MacCLURE. Copyright, 1924, by Harper & Brothers. fContinued from Yesterday's Star.) At breakfast we had a long discus- &fon with the sailing and flying ofi- cers, and we were brought to the conclusion that the raiders had, in addition to the gas, some secret means of disturbing the engines of planes. TI was the evidence of the two machines forced to come down in the raid on Paris, these, it will be remembered, like the Merlin and the big De Hamiville, showing no lasting engine trouble. Dan’s theory was that the raiders had a ra which affected the electrical circuit of the engines He also had an idea that the ers had way of contral thetr cloud iesthetizing gas, a notfon that supported by the officers who had been watching the show from the crafser's fire-control The pink haze had moved about position to position too defi ner to be haphazard, and the officers were of the opinion that the gas had been pur- Posaly swept from the vicinity of the Mertin Dan, while the discussion was for- his old trick of In his cupped demonstration excitement he into & mood of silent cogita- which decpened the wrinkles above Lis snub nose and gave him the air of a thoughtful child After Milliken went over n overhaul da- ome ng of back at chang but from this interest and hands, of his drifted tion, and 1 general and found her none the worse for her straining.

In any case the place wanuts c over thoroughly.” 1 to the radios we sent from Mogador the international outs flocking to the African coast. Indecd, We were no sooner at the place than the forerunners of the crowd came after us, brought along by the news of our fight. They came in a big, fan-shape move that in my opinion must inevitably have caught the airship had she doubled across the Atlantlc. was little doubt in my mind zing the thing up with Milli- en that he and I had done some damage to the airship with our shell- fire. We had put in enough stuff to have fired her if hydrogen had been used in her ts, so it was pretty clear that her was got from he- lium.

Using helium, she could not have a dis- posablé 1ift of much more than per- haps 15,000. When the weight of her w, fuel and armament was taken into account, not much margin was left for carrying extra gas in liquid form. So we d that our punc- ave caused & lot her spectacular exhausted a good rescrve gas.

It was arrangement of ors leading to a se- cond, and it was meant the supposed electric ray before it reached the engines and to disperse 1t harmlessly. In the mat- ter of the gas, however, by some un- fortunate mischance ~in landing, whether by a wave or otherwise, Lan's bottle apparatus for sampling the anesthetic had been smashed on the day of our @ght, and he was wlithout a sample for analysis, much the mea on oth claborate cage etallic conduc les of ensers, to collect “And that's | sir ! to his and my chagrin. Secondly, as a reason for going home via London, T had heard that Lord Almeric was intending another visit to America, and I thought if hc could make his arrangements suit it would be a good notion to take him over on the Merlin. 1 radioed to Sir Thomas telling him to expect us, and on the Thursday evening Dan and I were closeted with him and Lord Almeric in the room at Scotland Yard. The chief of the British C. I. D. had not wasted any time, we found. He had badgered the authorities into fit- ting up his planes with airtight bodles and supplying them with oxygen, and he had had instrument maker et to the task of turning out Dan’s pro- tective apparatus. Our discussion with him, and our description of the fight, helped to ¢ up some points that had been puzzling him. We came away from Scotland ard in the knowledge that our visit there had not been a waste of t ¥rom Lord Almeric heard that business in Britain wa at a stand- still, and that factories and commer- clal’ houses were clostng down & over the country. Prices In the stock markets were lower than they had ever been, good industrial securities which had been regarded as next to xilt-edged being sold at prices that made them look Jlike wild-cat oil stock. The damage to the country in lost trade represented millions, Lord Almeric declared, and the setback would be felt long after the raiders were scotched. The state of affairs was out of all proportion to the dam- age done actually in the raids, and could only be attributed to & kind of panic. As a result of the London raid and of the affair in the House of Com- mons, the government had fallen. It had been laughed out of office, though ostensibly its fall was due to a defeat on some quite unimportant measure. The press devoted columns to the raids now, and printed the opinions of wise men, foolish men, well known men, obscure men, of how the out- rages were carried out and how they could be stopped, with fantastic theo- ries on both sides. It was even sug- gested that the raiders had come from Mars. The change of tone from the time of the New York raid was, to say the least of it, remarkable. Unobtrusively as we made our en- try into London, neither Dan nor I nor Milllken escaped the attentions of the newspaper men. They hung round us llke flies, Infesting our vicinity at meal times, seeing us to bed and greeting us on our awaking. We were glad when at last on the Saturday morning we could get Lord Almeric aboard and be off across the Atlantic. We made straight for Washington, where my passenger was to meet my father and several other bankers. Our voyage was quite uneventful and placid, and we arrived on the Potomac basin just before 7 on the Saturday evening, American time, 11 It was good to get back to Wash- ington and find not only my father, but Kirsteen Torrence waiting for us on the landing stage. Four weeks all but a day had elapsed since our setting out on our venture, and, to me at least, a shadow of failure lay on our return. At any rate, I was a lit- tle shy of meeting Miss Torrance's level glance. There was that in her welcome of us, however, after she had greeted Lord Almeric with affection, which quickly swept away all sense | ¢ having tailed. To Milliken, always her favorite, she had so much to say that he was at his blackest of coun- tenance with embarrassed delight. I thought he would burst something. The old man, too, seemed to think we had not done badly. In the casual heartiness of his greeting, I thought I could discern something of satis- faction—of pride, even—at our ex: ploit. Dinner that evening at the White House was a sort of reunion. The President, Kirsteen, Lord Almerlc, my father, Danny and myself, all somehow linked up with the task in hand, composed the party—and one stranger. This was an Englishman, a big fellow named Seton. Now in the four weeks that we had been away from Washington I had thought a good deal about Kirsteen Torrance, and 1 may admit here and now that I had come back to her with an absolute certainty that life with- out her would for me be incomplete. When the Merlin was streaking down )n_the airship that Sunday morning, it had come to me very clearly just what Kirsteen stood for—and that was pretty nigh everything. I won't elaborate on the theme. Il leave it Just so. It was with a pang of dismay, therefore, that I heard Commander Seton introduced as an old friend of both Kirsteen and Lord Almeric, and saw the satisfaction the big English- man and she had in each other's com- pany. When a fellow finds a girl in- teresting, there’s nothing can make him feel so hopeless about his chances with her as to hear her talk with an- other man, “Do you remember——2" bulking largely in the conversation. Seton and Kirsteen were old enough friends for that It would have been a mean thing to get up any dislike of Commander Seton. As he listened fo the story that Dan and I had to tell, it me very evident that the stranger was no layman in the matter of aeronau- tics. His comments were practical to @ degree, and his questions shrewdly knowledgable. Not only that, but under the lethargy which sometimes is to be seen in big men of his sort, there lay a mental alertness that promised he could move his big frame with lightning quickness in an emer- gency. He gave an impression of being very much a man. The only point that Dan and I held | back from the general company was regarding his idea for getting round the electric ray of the raiders. I can't say what it was that moved us to this piece of reticence, unless it was just the presence of Seton. But this was the very point that the big English- man brought up later in conversaiton with me, when Kirsteen had brought us together, saying that we should find much in common. That is a curious fact about all | four machines being sent down with engine trouble, Mr. Boon,” said Seton. “It seems, indeed, to point to some weapon of the kind imagined by your friend Lamont.” Yes" said 1. *“The raiders them- Ives knew our engine would be all right afterwards.” Makes it conclusive. Yes,” 1 said shortly., maining long mander Seto “It depends very much on circum- stances,” he replied. “If the raiders have such a ray, it makes them prac- tically immune from aeroplane at- tacks. Practically,” T agreed. to leave the subject. “Unless, of course, surprise attack on a vulnerable point from a height.” “Oh, ves,” sald I. “There's always that. It must be obvious to you as an airman——" “Ah,” said Seton, about me, do you?" “I guessed it. Ordinary people do not talk of ‘torque’ as you .do.” “Come, conie. A common engineer- term like that ren't you, then? Iy dear man, I have never con- cealed it.
