The machine turned and swooped around toward the farm. The planes vibrated strangely and the engine skipped a throb or two. “\What is the matter?” asked the girl. “Annie Bell,” sald Hapswell hoarse- ly, “if 1 told you that the aeroplane was going to fall to earth and kil us both what would you say?" He looked straight into her eyes and she gazed back calm and smiling. “I wouldn't eare—not with yon,” she sald bravely, and there were tears in Hapswell's eyes. “That’s what I wanted to know, dear,” he said. “There isn't a mite of danger.
