Kveg as ha rose above tha forest level, his experienced eya aaw possible (rouble In tho wind clouds banked to eastward and In tha fall ot the barometer. But with the thought "At this rata we'll males Boston In three-quarters of an hour at tha outside, and the storm can't strika so soon." ha pushed tha motor to stilt greater speed and settled to the urgent business of steering a straight course for Massachusetts bay Only one did ha dara turn aside his eyes vea to much a to glanc at Beatrice. She, magnificently unafraid on tha quiver ing back of this huge air dragon, showed the spUodid excitement of tho moment by th sparkle pf ber glance, tho rush of elo quent blood to her cheeks.

At thought of liow he wna cheating them all. 8tern smiled to himself with grim satisfaction. "Good old engine I" ho was thinking, as ho let her out another notch. "Some day I'll put you In a boat nnd we'll go cruising. With you. there's no limit to tho posslhlll tlen. Tho world Is really ours now, with your help 1" Behind them now lay the debris of Paw tucket Stern caught a gllmpio of a ruined building, a crumpled-ln gas tank with an elm growing up through tho atark ribs of It, a Jumblo of wrccknge, all small nnd toy llko. thero below; then tho plane swooped, and all lay deep burled In tho wilderness again. "A few minutes now," he said to him self, "nnd we'll bo serosa what used to bo the lino nnd bo spinning over Massachu setts. This certainly beats wnlklng all hoi low I Whew!" as tha machluo lurched for ward and took nn ugly drop. Ho Jerked tho rlalng-plnno lever savagely. "Still tho eamo kind of unrellablo air, I see, that wo used to havo a thousand years ago 1" For a few minutes tho blplnno hummed on nnd on tn long rising and fatting slants, llko a 'swallow skimming the surface of a lake. Tha even ntnecato of tho exbauit, echolesa In that height and vacancy, rippled with cadences like a monster mowing ma chine. And Stern was beginning to con sider himself as good as In Boston ntready was beginning o wonder where the, beif placo might bo to land, whether along tho shore or on tho Common, whero, perhaps, somo open space still remained when an other formidable alr-pockol dropped him with sickening speed. nn righted tho piano with a wrench that made her creak and tremble. "I'vo got to tako a higher level or a lower," ho thought "Something's wrong hero, that's pertain 1" But as ho shot the biplane sharply up ward, hoping to find a calmer lane, a glance at tho sky showed trouble Impending. Over tho gray background of wind clouds a fine-shredded drive wan beginning to Rcud. Tho whole east had grown black. Only far off to westward did a little patch of dull bluo show: and even this was closing up with singular rapidity. And, though the motion of the machine mado this hard to estimate. Stern thought to see by tho lateral drift of the country below that thoy were being carried westward by whatto Judge from tho agitation of the treetopa far below must already bo a considerable gale. For a moment the engineer cursed his foolhardtness In having started In face ot such a storm as now every moment threat ened to break upon them. "I should havo known," ho told himself, "that It was suicidal to attempt a night when every Indication showed a high wind coming. My Infernal Impatience, as usual I Wo should havo stayed aafo In Providence and let this blow out beforo starting. But now well, It's too late." But was It? Had he not time enough left to make a wide sweep and circle back whence ho had come? He glanced at the girl. If she showed fear he would return. But on her face he saw no signs or augnt but confidence and Joy and courage. And at sight of her his own resolution strength ened onco again. ...,. "Why retreat?" he pondered, holding the rnochlno to her long-soaring rise. "We must have made a good third of tho distance al. ready perhaps a half. In ten or fifteon mlnutea moro wo ought to sight the bluo of tha big bay, No use In turning back now. And as for alighting and letting the atorm blow over, that's Impossible. Among theso forests It would mean only total wreckage. Even If we could land, wo never could start again. Noj the only thing to do Is to hold her to It and plow through, atorm or no storm, 1 guess tho good old Paulllaa can stand the ruoket, right enough I" Thus for a few moments longer he held tha plans with her nose to the i northeost-by-north, his compass giving him d rectlon, while far, far below, the world slid back and away In a vast green carpet of sway ing treea that stretched to tho dim, dun horizon. Stern could never afterward recall exactly how or when tha nurncano situs iiu. So stunning was tho blow that hurled It. aetf. shrieking, In a tumult of mad cross currents, air maelstroms and frensled whirls, all across tho sky, so overpowering the chUl tempeet that burst from tho.o laky clouds i ao sudden the darkness that fell, tho slinging hall volleys that lashed and pelted them, that any clear perception of their plight became Impossible. - AH the man knew was that direction and control had been knocked clean from bU hands j that the world had suddenly van ished In a black drlva of cloud and ball and wild-whipping taper; that he no longer know north from south, or east from west! but that-struggling now even to breathe, filled with auk fears for tha safety ot the sir! besldo him ho waa fighting, wrenching, wrestling with tha motor and tha plants and rudder, to keep th machine from up ending, from turning; turtle In midair, from atlaWiri her aaM under an air-layer and swtwpV. ;sfejrtl!g over and over, down, down.

Stern had no tlmo to think oven of her nt such a moment of doadly peril. As a driver with a runaway stallion Jerks and saws and strains upon tho leather to regain control, so now tho man wrestled with his storm-buffeted machine. A less expert aeronaut must havo gone down to death In thnt mad nexus of conflicting cur renin; but Stern waa cool nnd full of craft nnd science. Against the blows ot tho hugo tempest ho pitted his own skill, tho strength of tho stout mechanism, tho trained in stincts of the born mechanician. And. storm-driven, tha blplnno hurtled weatward. eer westward, through tlio gloom. Nor could Its two passengers by any sight or sound detormlno what speed they trnoled nt. whither they went, what lay behind, or what ahead. Concepts of time, too, anl(ho!. Did It last ono hour or three? Five hours, or even more? Who. could tell? lacking any point of contact with reality, merged nnd i helmed In that stupendous chill nightmare, all wrought ot saMigo gale, rain, hallblanta. cloud and scudding vapor, they senned nothing but tho fight for life Itself, the stnigRl" to keep aloft tilt the cyclone should have blown Itself out nnd they could seek the shcltefl of tho earth once more. Ileallty camsMiack with n rift In tho Jetty sky, tho faint shine of n llttlo palo bluo thero. and a whllo later a gllmpea of water, or what seemed to bo such, very far below. Moro steady now the currents grew. Stern otplnned again; nnd as tha machine slid dawn toward earth came Into a calmer and moro peaceful stratum. Down, down through clouds that shifted, shreddad and reassembled, he let tho plane roast, now under control once morn; nnd nil at onco there below him, lean than throo thousand feet beneath, ho saw, dim and vaguo as though In the light of evening, a vast sheet ot wntor that stretched away, away, till tho sight lost It In a bank of low hung vapors on the horizon. Tho sear thought Htern, with sudden terror. Who could tell? Perhsps tho storm, westbound, bad veered: perhaps It might hne carried them off tho Atlantic coast I This might bo the ocean, a hundred or two hundred miles from land, And If so, then good-by I Checking tho descent, ha drove forward on level wings, peering below wltb wide eyes, whllo far above htm the remnants of tho storm fled, routed, and let a shaft of pallid sunlight through. Stern's eyo caught the light of that set ting beam, which still reached that height, though all below, on earth, was dusk; and now ha knew tho west again and found his sense of direction. Tho wind, ho perceived, still blew to westward; and with a thrill ot relief he felt, as though by Intuition, that Its courso had not varied enough to drlvo him out to sea. Though ho knew the ripping clatter of tho engine drowned his voice, ho Bhouted to the girl; "Don't bo alarmed! Only a lake down thero I" nnd with fresh courage gaio tho motor all that ahe would stand. A lnkolT But what lake? What sheet of water, of this size, lay tn New Hngland? And If not In Now England, then where were they? A lake? Ono of the Groat Iwikes? Could that be? Could they havo been driven clear across Massachusetts, Its whole length, and over New York State, four hundred miles or mora from tho sea, and now be speeding over Urle or Ontario? Stem shuddered ot tho thought- Almost as well be lost over the sea as over any one of these tremendous bodies! Were not the land near, nothing but death now faced them! for already the fuol-gaugo showed but a scant two gallons, and who could say how long the way might be to shots?
