A fitful wind had blown up to disturb a calm twilight. The girl glanced up at the clock and stifled a sigh. Her parents would not return for another two hours and Kathleen had begun to feel the lone Hiness of being in a house in the coun- try with only a little yellow dog for companionship. Even Mike had grown restless as he snoozed by the fire and Kathleen watched his little body tremble with inward growls as the creeking of a door or the gentle tapping of branches on the window disturbed his slumber. “Mike, if you were not such a nice little yellow dog I would wish you were a Great Dane or some ferocious beast so that I wouldn’t feel so spooky. Kathleen turned again to her maga- zine but the steadily rising wind be gan to play havoc with her nerves and when the telephone clashed a loud ring she sprang from her chair in sheer fright. Kathleen went to the telephone but no answer rewarded her. The number had not. been rung, Central informed her. She returned to her chair but before she had seated herself another sharp ring startled her. Again no one had called the number. Kathleen spoke with asperity to Central. “The telephone certainly rang!” “Probably it is the wind,” came back from Central and Kathleen hung up the receiver. She went to her chair determined not to be disturbed again. The imperious ring did not come but a gentle, regular tinkling of the bell continued. Mike still growled inwardly but Kathleen became absorbed in her story. Gradually, however, she became con- scious that while the wind had abated there still continued that maddening tinkle of the telephone bell. Switching on the lights as she went Kathleen made her way to the back of the house and there her nerves again played her false. A low sound, much as of some one calling, came from the outside world. Mike set up a deafening bark: A distinct “Hello” now came through the window. Kathleen gathered all her courage end peered out. The light from the room streamed full force on @ man’s face. “Who is there?” she called out. In a semi-conscious way Kathleen's eyes had traveled beyond the man and she saw, there in the great oak ‘branches, that which had once been an airship. “I am here—just now,” came in a weak but deep voice, “I am hanging by my—belt—when that gives out—” “Oh!” Kathleen had vanished from the window and now with Mike close at her heels she came swiftly from the kitchen door. “T will get you the step ladder!” She called to the man. Kathleen struggled there in the moonlight with the great ladder and even in his almost tragic position Granger had the power to admire the sure, swift movement of the little fig- ure. it was with a superhuman effort that he managed to get his feet plant- ed on the ladder the girl held beneath him. When he reached the ground he toppled over. “my breath—it’s al- most gone—” He lay still for a mo ment and the girl bent over him. “T'll be all right—in a minute—when my diaphragm gets to working.” He sat up. “You saved my life,” he said and looked wonderingly into her face. “I was out—like an idiot—for a short moonlight sail in the air,” the man explained. “It was calm when I started but that wind—” He cast a rueful glance at the huge wreck in the tree. “I must have hung by that leather belt for fifteen minutes. I could, by swinging, touch some wires.” A silvery laugh rang out. “You cer- tainly did touch some wires.” The man echoed her laugh and it did not seem strange to Kathleen that she was sitting in the back garden with a perfectly strange man. “It has been an experience,” Grang- er remarked, “but one that I do not care to try again.” “I am forgetting,” Kathleen said with quick thought, “that you may be badly in need of—” “No, no—that is too much to ask— after you have saved my life,” Granger exclaimed and arose to his feet.
