Suddenly the fierce dive of the Fokker ceased. \With his eves still glazed. breathing with the knowledge that he had the ship under control, Jimmy sought to focus on the ground below for a landing place. Ignoring the stirring figure beside him, he manouvred to a place behind the con- trols, forward, circled, and at last his wheels touched. He brought the ship slowly to a stop. A few seconds later the wheels of the Bleriot touched the ground with professional handling. and Jimmy's eves began to light with admiration. He jumped stifiy from the cockpit held himself steady for a morent by the side of his plane, and then hur- ried forward to greet the English ace as the latter came toward him. “Thought vou and vour friend wene sished for a few seconds, Broadmoor admitted. casually. “Neat bit of work you did, I'd say Jimmy's eyes narrowed and the grin on his lips hecame an {ronic Broadmoor, did you fly today just in order to get a thrill from me?

Broadmoor nodded “The idea was, Jimmy." he decid- ed, “to get you down here along the t, well off the beaten track. and leave vou there.

Let's take a look.” They climbed into the cockpit, and when Gruger hesitated at the English- man’s order to evacuate, the two heaved him out bodily to the ground. After several minutes’ inspection, Broadmoor yelled triumphantly that he had discovered the leak. “There's amout 20 minutes’ worth of petrol left!” he cried. Something seemed to light in Jim- my's eyes and then they grew cold as steel. He turned wordlessly toward the Dutchman and clambered over the side of the cockpit, his fists clenched. Gruger paled and then straightened. Broadmoor cried out in protest and leaped free. In the next second, his hands were on Jimmy's tight muscles as the latter drew back to swing. Don't be an asi " he 'e've got to get under it you're going to catch that h Settle the account with Rogers —it’s he who's responsible.” Jimmy took a deep breath, nodding. “I shall.” he said, “I suppose you're right. But—but not just one swat, Broadmoor “Not even a little one,” Broadmoor laughed. “I'll take care of this bird and get his license from him, through the regular channels. Come on.” He sho his comparnion toward the purring Bleriot. They climbed inside and Broadmoor taxied to a position at the far end of the field. Gruger watched them, a lone and forlorn figure, as they re- crossed the fleld and took to the air. For fifteen minutes the English ace drew every bit of power that his plane possessed. Then he leaned forward and looked quickly up into Jimmy’'s startled face as the motor coughed. Another sputter followed—then a suc- cession of them. Cherbourg was still an hour distant. Broadmoor held on, his face tense, forcing the ship forward. Yet the sputters continued—a rapid succes- sion of them, and the forward motion hesitated. Jimmy's face was drawn when he at last nodded to Broad- moor’s anxious eyes and the Bleriot circled over a favoreble landing place. “Tgnition,” Broadmoor shouted, as he cut his motor and went into & ‘ong’;slide. The guess was substantiated a few minutes later. After a rapid inspec- tion, three wires leading to the dis- tributor were found to have been com- pletely eaten away. . “A good hour's work!" Broadmoor swore. “This isn't my ship; I was in such a rush, I took the first one of fered.” His handsome features were white. “We can't make the boat, he said, with more emotion volce than the American had ever heard. Jimmy looked aghast but said noth- ing. An hour’s delay—and the Faus- tania would be out at sea in about that time, moving through the chan nel. Again Rogers had won. The American's eyes narrowed. “Let’'s do our best, anyway,” he said, tight-lipped, and threw off his coat. Wires had to be spliced and taped, connections made. Through the hour of grind work, Jimmy was grateful for his friend’s cool calm. During it, resigned to his position, he listened tc Broadmoor’s account of what he knew of_Rogers' movements. Rogers had managed to get in touch with friends in various European cities and eventually secured his re lease. “Your friend Harvey wired you about it, I understand” said Broadmoor, “but apparently you moved too fast for the wire to catch up with you." Immediately upon his release at night, the New York millionaire had chartered a special train to Warsaw Early that morning he had arrived, it seemed, and immediately boarded an airplane, which brought him to Paris early in the afternoon. Another plane was carrying him on to Cher- bourg. “But how do vou know all this?” Jimmy demanded. | " “Friend of ours” Broadmoor grin ered his face | “'A friend!” Jimmy repeated. know I had any—except— | stopped. flushing. | “Exactly.” the Englishman nodded | “She certainly seemed anxious to help ja young man to get along in the { world.” “Didn't He Again the mysterious wom an—the lady of narcissus noir! Jimmy shook his head. Broadmoeor knew her —apparently every one knew her but he. She knew his friends: she had known Harvey. She had staved be hind in_Moscow, as she promised, to watch Rogers: when Rogers had es. caped, she had done the only thing she knew to do the best. She had secured Broadmoor's services. He turmed slowly to his friend. Somehow the trip was losing its i portance before this mystery. He w: beginnig to realize that this woman, whoever she might be, meant more to him than fame. “This isn't the first helped me out,” he said. “Do you know who name. 1 mean?” “I have the honor,” Broadmoor ad- mitted. “Well, supose you let me in on it— right now!" | “Why not?" laughed the British fiyer, and he stood up from his task at the motors.

Answer to Yesterday's Puzzle. BY JONATHA! Battle Near in New York. NEW YORK, June 30, 1776.—An ex- press rider has arrived at Gen. Wash- ington's headquarters, from an officer who_has been stationed as a lookout on Staten Island, with news that 45 British ships have arrived at Sandy Hook. A report is in circulation that a total of 130 sail of transports are now in nearby waters. Without doubt this is the British army which has been sojourning at Halifax, Nova Scotia, since it was driven from Bos: ton in March, with Gen. Willlam Howe in command. It is well known that Howe's forces are to be joined here Ry several thousand fresh troops from England, including the Hessian mer- cenaries, while it is also probable that Sir Peter Parker's fleet, now off the coast of South Carolina, with the army under Cornwallls on board, will pass the Summer here or hereabouts. Immediately upon hearing of the new arrivals down -the bay, Gen. Washington hurried off an orderly to Gen. Willlam Livingston at Elizabeth- town, urging that not a moment's time be lost in sending the New Jer- sey militia to his aid. " We are so very ak at this post,” said the General, that T must beg of you to order the The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle . Strength: power. . Individual " with . Male hog. 2. A metal. Lieutenant (abbr.).

Is stout of heart and is clear of mind. —Farmer Browns Boy At the first move Farmer Brown's Boy made, Killer the Duck Hawk and Mrs. Killer were once more in the air and screaming lustily. Farmer ‘Hruwn's Boy shook his head at them. ‘ou foolish birds,” said he. “Those screams of yours can be heard.a long distance and so you give your secret away. Any one hearing you would guess right away that you have a nest over here. If you had kept still when vou first saw me coming up the moun tain it might have taken me a long time to find where your nest is. But now I know that it is up on that little shelf of rock, and in spite of your screaming I am going up there.” At least, I am going to try to get up there.” For a little way it was comparative- ly easy. Then Farmer Brown's Boy came to a place where he had to watch 1p the rock with hands. carefully, he worked his way up a sort of little crevice in the rocks until he reached a point where he must get around a great, bulging rock that couldn't be climbed over. It must be climbed around. A slip would send him slid- “YES, SIR,” HE REPEATED: “IT 1S LIKE SITTING ON THE EDGE | OF THE WORLD! ing down with a sheer drop to the rocks below. It would mean broken limbs at_best, perhaps a broken neck Inch by inch he worked around, never moving his feet until he had a £00d grip on the rocks with his hands. At last he was around. There was a sort of little pocket here in the cliff, with a few trees growing from the steep slope. It was safe enough here On the farther side and up & shor distance on the face of the cliff was a shelf of rock. Even from so close a viewpoint as this that shelf was al- most invisible. It was but 4 moment’s climb up some projecting bits of rock 10 the edge of this little shelf. aps you can guess how eagerly he looked along it when his head came above the level of it. A little more than an arm's reach from him, where the shelf was cut back so that the | rock overhung it, were a little ball of soft down and a reddish brown egg. He had reathed the home of the Duck Hawks, . Carefully Farmer Brown's Boy climbed up so that he could sit on the end of the littie shelf of rock, his feet dangling in space. Then he drew like sitting on the edge of the world!" he cried. “Yes, sir, it's like sitting on the edge of the world!"” > Out past the great wall of rock at his right he looked for miles down the THE Offers a Most Unusual Bargain to You: Open A Meritorious Machine RES.

Still farther he could see a silver thread, which he knew to be the Bix River. Beneath him were the tops of tall trees and the Green Forest stre‘ched away, looking like a mers carpet of green. It was inspiring. The theill of it ran all througn him. “Yes, sir,” he repeated, “it ike sitting on the edge of the worl Then, remembering what he had climbed there for, he reached out with a little stick which happened to be at hand and touched the fluffy ball. In- stantly three heads were raised. Three heads with open mouths and hooked bills. They were three young Duck Hawks and he judged they were about a week old. For some reason the egs lying there had not hatched. and he knew it would not. Those baby Hawks were covered with down just like his own baby chickens, but little as they were and helpless as they were, there was still about them that spirit of wildness and fierceness which made their parents the bold and dreaded hunters that they were. With a scream of anger—or was it fear?—Mrs. Duck Hawk swung In so close that her wings almost brushed him: and then she swung up to a jutting point of rock a few feet above his head and perched there, looking down anxiously and now and then screaming. As for Killer, he, too, was screaming. but he took care to swing high in the air. Father love would not take the chances that mother love would take.
