They designed a !m,htholwmooll{dmmfln. i 1n Delaware, where his father and his sister awaited them. Now, in a flight over a desolate, well nigh uninhabited country, the “juice” had given out in the carburetor and the Victor was “stalled.” Gasollne must be found or the machine abandoned. After a brief consultation the two men had decided to start out in starch of some town. Barton hid all but the ends of two twigs in his hand, Moore drew the long one—south, Bar- ton started east with the laughing boast that he would be back first with the needful fuel for the engine, It was nightfall when Barton tofled slowly down a winding valley—lost. |All that day he had not come across a single human being or habitation, “This 18 getting pretty despcrate,” |deceided Barton. “I cannot hope to | find my way back to the airship.

A terrific hubbub increascd as he advanced. lle had progresscd to where he could sce tho flames through the trees, when com- ing rushing towards him, uttering ter- rifled moans, he made out a pale-faced, wild eyed woman, She clasped a little babe close to her breast, and holding her by the hand dragged a little girl sobbing piti fully with fright and weariness, » “My good woman,” spoke Barton, stepping directly in the path of tho fiying fugitive, “what is the trouble?” She gave a shriek at being o start. swooned dead away. Barton placed the babe in a safe position in its 2 blanket, and told the little girl to ' stay there and watch her mother, ' Twenty steps brought the aviator in | full view of the outlaw camp.

Stop! Stop!” he ! screamed, rushing forward and wav- | ing his arms wildly. Half a dozen rifles covered him in an instant, but he mever halted. Straight up to the outlaw leader he dashed. “What's this?” flercely challenged that person, keen suspicion in his swarthy face, “This is my friend,” procesded Bar ton, pointing to Moore. “Oh, maybe you're another deteo- tive, eh?” demanded the outlaw. “Detective? Why, we are airmen.” “And found a new way to sneak fnto our district where we shoot strangers on sight? Here, boys, tie this one, too!” : Suddenly the outlaw turned. The little girl had followed Barton. Now, arms outstretched, she came into view, “Mary, little Mary!” gasped the outlaw. “How did you come here?” “I brought her,” said Burton quick- ly; “your wife and baby, too. They are back near the spring. The Dolll- | - vers have raided your homes, and—" | | A cry of rage went up from the|* rough crowd. The strangers were for a moment forgotten. The woman and babe were brought into the camp. Then there were rapid explanations. |r Half of the men sprang to their fi horses, and with direful threats swept a 1 north to add another sanguinary chap- t r to the gre~t Dolliver family feud.

These | friends of ours must be back to thelr airship and the rest of us on the trail of the Dollivers.” “Ask him to give me my trophy,” whispered Moore to his friend, “Your trophy?” “Yes, see it's been & target fast. ened to that tree yonder. These fllit. . erate fellows can't read, and insisted that the badge was that of a secret (,i) service detective.” The trophy, plus one deep bullet dent, was returned to its owner with apologies. The airship made a brilliant non- etop flight, almost beating the record. A guest at the Barton home, Elwyn Moore had the coveted chance to pre- sent himsclf and his trophy to pretty Mabel Barton, She admired it, and its owner as well. The result was natural. The trophy became a family heirloom, It was not only a reminder of the ekill of its owner, hut of that weird hour in the moonshiner’s camp when tho loyal Nelson Bartoq arrived “just in (Copyright, 1912, by W.
