He and the girl had a bet-— ter start than he had hoped for. It | ‘was evident that their margin of | lead was desperately slight. Their footing was good. Flag- | stones, yards square, paved this cen- tral area, and made running easy. | The last few yards to the plane seemed interminable. Grahame scooped up an empty wooden gasoline case, scarcely pausing in his stride. He flung it beside the fuselage. i “Step on that! Can you make it?” he gasped. “Climb in the rear cockpit. Start shooting right away!” He stumbled to the starting crank | and wound the starter. The guards | ‘were nedrer. As he reached for a wing, he heard the whip-lash of a rifle shot above him. 1 Again the rifle cracked. He wrig- gled to the middle of the wing and drew himself upright, clinging to guy-wires. His fiyer’s instinct | noted that the flying wires were ominously slack. The months of standing in the | opén, in the rain and blazing sun, had probably loosened all the rig- | ging. He thanked fortune that the ; wings were metal, there was no | motor would fire after months of inaction. j Three more shots, evenly spaced cracked over his head. Almost he | sobbed in admiration for the girl who was coolly shooting from the | plane. Ag hé threw a leg over the cowling of the cockpit, he flashed a glance toward the pyramid. In the imme- diate foreground, scarcely two hun- | dred yards away, two men sprawled | on the flagstones. Another sat, face within his spread knees, his rifle on the ground almost under him. Behind several were spreading out fan-wise—those in, the center were kneeling in | preparation for firing. NTO the cockpit he sprawled. He heard distant firing and the whine of bullets overhead. A vicious, me- tallic ripping told him that the plane ‘was béing hit. Then the rifle from the rear cock- pit began to crash again, one-two- fired and. reloaded. She was shoot- ing ke a veteran in a riffe pit. He threw on the switch with his sound left hand and feverishly ad- Justed the throttle and tested the controls, Although stiff, they worked. As he pulled on the starter he made an inarticulate sound—a prayer. ‘The motor erupted into a boom- ing roar! For an instant it held the even resonance of its explosions, then sputtered. Frantically Gra- hame jazzed the throttle: It was | now or nevér. He could never sur- vive the salvo of bullets that would greet him if he were forced to wind the starter again, The motor coughed discordantly, then settled into an even drumming that reverberated above the stac- cato tattoo of rifle fire. He had noticed that the wheels were unblocked. He shoved the throttle forward. The mctor revved up unevenly but the plane began to slide forward. For a briet instant the ship rolled onward without interruption—there came a bumip that grageed one wing « tip against the stone..He gunned the motor and ruddered to correct di- rection. He saw figures scattering ahead of him. ‘There wae another, a small- er thud, as a wing's edge hit a fiet- | ative. | Gott, | @ DIGGING Beans e e 'NIVERSITY OF FLORIDA dedi-| after President John J.
