Virginia of the Air Lanes by Herbert Quick. (Continued from page 4). "Oh. about that money!" said Cur son. "I must return It to Dr. Wither fpoon, Cralphend. You won't misun derstand me. will you?" "Not In the least," replied Craighead Sleepily. "Ingrowing conscience and all that rot. Get over It at you pet richer, you know. I would fain dream tf Caroline." CHAPTER IX. the ncEPTios ok "uncle Tnronor.E." THEODORE'S Uilnd. Labltuated to the airy case of an tinut tered faltb In his mastership of the air. felt the pallinc of renllty as he walked westward from the station toward dilapidated Car on's Landing. Feateil on a Mump, he nought mental adjustment before filtering hln bouse. He had had his chance with fc'h ly ne. "the prince of the powers of the olr," and bad thrown It a way In hot words to Shnyne, In n blow to Kllbcrberg and by leaping from the Itnc into the un known obysH of night. These were actualities. The broken deflector of the parachute he carried proved that, as did die memory of bin foolishness over Shayno'K niece, now happily for ever past. Mr. Wnddy's money and Mr. Craig head's telegrnins saved the day. The first three yellow dispatches had come In one delivery at Nashville, ad dressed to "Theodore Carson, the Illus trious Inventor and Thaumaturge, Care Conductor, Train 7."." Theodore, the Illustrious, could not accumulate the courage to nsk for them, but tho Wise conductor had pounced suddenly upon til in and said, "I reckon you're Mr. Carson." "Yield not to temptation, fear or cold feet." the ilrst read. "Your Uncle Ful ler is at tho helm." This was signed "The Great Uncalled," with the first two words run together as "Thegrent" in a telegraph operator's effort to re duce to the semblance of a namo Mr. Craighead's nom do guerre. The sec ond ran: "Have no fear. Monopoly is as clear In tho air as on the land. Apologies to Sir Humphrey Gilbert Nono to any one else by a deru slfbt, Conspiicz Shayne." This was signed "Craighead, the Legal Iiloodhound." "An old Ifroom," ran tho more mys terious next, "albeit minus one cover and dog's eared, nevertheless sweeps clean. He yokes tho whirligig to our car and nweeps tho howling skies!" (Signed) "Dandy Jim of Caroline Gray bill." The fourth, delivered at l!lr tnlngham, was addressed to General Theodore Carson, M. A. ("Monopolist of the AIr"l. and consisted of ten repetitions of "Eureka." signed "D. J. of C." The last came at Ray Mlnette and was too astonishing to be explained on any theory consistent with Craighead's aobrlety and sanity. "Caroline's dad," H read, "falls dead at unveiling of Broom Idea. Sees absolute cinch and rises to it as per lifelong custom. Formed today Universal Nitrates and Air Products company. Laws of West . Virginia. You como In for 25 percent. Caroline impressed.

Have you any neronef? Answer 'Yes' 6r "No" at once." This also was signed "D. J. of Caroline." What could ho menu by an "on old Broom?" The old copy of Broom's Le gal Maxims in Craighead's "library" was indeed minus a cover and dog's eared, but how this "Broom" could, even In metaphor, yoke the whirligig to any car and sweep the "howling skies Carson could not guess. Mr. AVaddy's demand for aeronautical mo nopoly was being compiled with, to Mr. Craighead's mind, and the last telegram seemed to Imply thnt the bu colic financier had been convinced. Ills "falling dead" might mean much or lit t la, but his "doubloons coming co pious" was eloquent of faith. And what In the name of all the gods at once could a "Universal Nitrates and Air Products company" mean In an aerial navigation deal or those mys terious expressions about "surround ing" Chicago and Greater New York? "Well, Aunt Chloe was Id there, shuf fling about, wondering where ho might be, and here he was, looking on spec trally and unsuspected. With the com mon human Impulse to secret ap proach, Theodore walked on, conceal h! between the Spanish bayonets and a Bomber line of red cedars, climbed the end of the veranda, scuttled Into the broad hall and up to his room, Into w bleb be stepped quickly, breathing a little harder. He opened the closet for a change of clothes and started back In wonderment quite as paralys ing as horror, for his clothes were pone. Instead there sat a huge trunk with Its lid back, Its open tray full of silken hosiery, corsets, laces, gloves, handkerchiefs and openwork things of mystery and terror. On the hooks were many, many others quite as aw ful, frilled and tucked and ruffled and plaited garments, silks, dimities, cash meres, linens, cottons and soft light woolens, filling his closet and spread against the wall for occult reasons con nected with keeping them In shape, and protruding from the trunk were more clothes, while In corners of the bedroom were more trunks. A llcht step sounded, and lie froze to a statue of panic and traire and paralysis. Some one entered. His heart bounded and then stood still. fr it was Psyche of the dunes. Shayue's ulece. Virginia, entering jauntily, maddeningly, like a real woman tak ing possession of his liedrooin ns her own! -She had a little subjectively de rived smile on her lips, held In her hands a spray of huckleberry blooms, which she put to her nostrils and then stuck In n vase by the old mirror. "Psyche!" he stammered. With a little scream she darted to ward the door, recognized him as he emerged from the closet, noted his paleness, turned back, her band on her breast a ud a quick palpltution In the "V" of her gown, like the heart of a snared robin. Yet she was the least excited of the twain. Her alarm ceas ed with her recognition of him, "My robber." said she In half whisper. "Oh. I'm so glad!" "Psyche," said he, "when yon say you are glad" "Oh, I'm no glad you aren't dashed to pieces!" she cried. "I've seen you falling, falling, falling, In my dreams and never alighting! But evidently you did!" "Yes," said he, "quite safe. But how camo you here?" "Oh, I live here," said she. "But how did you know? Or did you Just happen? Shall I hldo you? I'll never betray you, never, no matter what they say you've done!" "You belong here?" repeated The odoro wonderlngly. "Here? You you live here?" "Yes." said sho hurriedly "with my uncle. I couldn't enduro the Slinynes and Sllborbergs any longer. Why, tho way they did Just drives pooplo to crime! And If you did any thing it was in open war with the of ficers and not by stealth as the Slinynes and Sllborbergs do. I told them so to their teeth only you ought to reform and all thnt, you know. And I couldn't bear Aunt Marie any more," here the voice trembled, "though everybody will soy I'm ungrateful and all that And General Carson's family are all my relatives in tho world, ex cept the Slinynes. And this Is their plantation my uncle thnt I never saw lives here and I came to him. I hope he won't hnte me. I'd rather not have to ask him to shelter a robber the very first thing, and so I hope you aren't pursued. But If yon are I'll hide you before I'll see you caught. There!" Mr. Carson reeled back against tho wall, drew his hands across his eyes and looked again. She seemed to be there still, rather nearer than before, hands clasped In ndornblo anxiety, dl vlnest pity In her eyes. "Of course It's a shock." said Miss Sunrez, "to find you" "I am sorry," snld Theodore, "to have shocked you by being visible. I" "Oh, now," snld Miss Sunrez. "Try to supply ellipses and -and those things. I meant to find you so" "So Incapable of so lacking in the qualities of of of' "You're gradually getting closer to It," commented Virginia. "Our dnnger, where there Is nobody hanging about to sort of mltlgnte no, not that to to"- "To absorb and diffuse the 'shock.'" suggested tho engineer. "The very word." snld she. "Why, uncle, you're clever once Inawhlle"- "Thnnk you. Miss Virginia. I"- "Don't Interrupt, plense. Our dan ger here In the wilderness Is thnt of not catching tho shades of expres sion. The nuances one has to have ground into one's system with regard to one's friends If nuances ran be ground Into anything and that we'll misunderstand and fight and pull hair needlessly-doesn't that cover the case?" "I don't think It does quite. But you wore saying 1 l:-k some quality. Please go on." "The quality of unelohoi d," snld she. "You don't create tho role. I suppose my Image of a charming young rob ber, for you're not bad looking, uncle, you know." Theodore Mushed. 'Tlracy and ycgglsm and those things are so Incompatible with one's only surviving live llve-wlth nble un cle." said Virginia. "In 'The Babes In the Wood,'" snld Theodore, "the uncle wns quite that sort" "TVe odd thing with us-1 like living with you lmmensely-ls thnt yon seem a Dane iu ilie woods more than an un cle, and I the other." "What I wish you to understand Is how honored I am to be your guardian, even though I don't deserve it" "Oh, but you do!" said she. "And there's the Carson blood. Isn't there?" "There's the Carson blood," assented Theodore uneasily, "and the trust that blood alone couldn't confer." "And the relationship must stand In the place of years," said Virginia, "for 1 can't go buck to the Slinynes. I'm afrold they'll find me and make me"- "You shall not go back!" snld Theo dore. "Never!" "My, my!" said Virginia. "How fierce, nude! And now let's go fish ing." Yes, Theodore had fallen. Fleeing tho best bedroom. In which Aunt Chloe had established Miss Suarcr., ho had unmoored his launch for flight, but, reconsidering, had demanded of Chloe id explanation of the Incomprehensible mystery of the rresctce, Bnfler a 8tat. dent that she lived there, of Sbayno's niece. "She's como to live with we all," sold Aunt Chloe. "She's kin o' oo'n." Theodore gasped. r-A pI "MI ROBBER," SAID SHE IN A HALF WHIS PER. "There must be some mistake," said he. "How ruu she be related to me. Chloe V" "W'y, yo" some kino o' uncle to huh," replied Chloe. "Huh mothah was a dnughtnh to ole Gin'rel Ciihson. She married Lee Sunrez and died. Miss Glnnle knowed about us, u' when huh aunt throwed huh olT'n the aialiship fob Ktan'nlu' up fob you she come hyah, ez she had u right to, sub." "But she didn't know I was here?" Theodore suggested. "Oh, law. no." replied Aunt Chloe. "She don't know yo' Mistau Carsou yit onless yo tole hub." "But, Aunt Chloe. we aren't any kin to old General Carson, are we? And I'm no uncle to this young lady, am I?" Aunt Chloe was Indignant. "Ilev Ah been wucklu' foil po' whites all these yea lis?" said she. "Yo" sho as clus as uncle. Yo' paw knowed he wns n Cahson." "What have you told her about this relationship?" said Theodore. "She knowed nil erbout It." "Did she know how father how no body thinks we nre any kin to the gen eral nnd" "Who you mean by nobody?" que ried Chloe. "Ah reckon we some kin o ou' name wouldn't be Cahson, would It? Ah tuk huh In ns a Cahson. If you tult huh In yo' nhms an' squench cd huh teahs I reckon you wouldn't be brlngin up these heavy arguments." Uncle Theodore wns stately, cere monious and. with due allowance for sundry blushes when Miss Virginia emitted a little giggle, promptly smothered In her napkin, quite grand in his demeanor at luncheon. He formally kissed Virginia's hand, and ! wheu she told of her need, of her re liance on the Carson fidelity, be yield ed to the temptation without n mo ment's hesitation. He became her un cle, entered calmly upon the deception, oblivious of the vast consequences In volved. "I have the honnh." said he. "to drink your health the health of the Jewel and the hope of the Carsou family." She rose as If nt a formal signal for withdrawal, took both his hands and kissed him on the forehead. There were tears in her eyes. (To be continued). Death of W. V. Tracy. The citizens of this village and vicinity were shocked Sunday to learn of the death of William F. Tracy, which occurred at an early hour that morning at his home in Pawnee City. Mr. Tracy's death was not unexpected, as It was generally known that his death has been fail ing quite rapidly the past two years his ailment being due principally to paralysis.

Tracy and wife were residents of this village Heveral years, during which time he was owner of the Bank of Union, but on account of his heath falling he sold els In terests In October, 1908, and since that time he has traveled in various parts, locating in Pawnee City a few months ago.

LAST DM FOR PIIIG UP If You Can't Get to It Today Do It Tomorrow and the Author ities Will Be Satisfied. Today is the last day of grace for those who have not cleaned their alleys and streets in the down town part of the city and they had best get busy. It Is the Intention of the city authorities to press prosecution against all who fall In this matter as the alleys and streets must be clean ed before the Fourth of July, owing to danger of fire. There are still a number of places In the city to be looked after and the Intention is to have the work done if It Is possible. The authorities regret having to pros ecute anyone for failing to clean up as ordered but they are firm and are determined to have a clean city for the Fourth and avoid any danger of fire if it is possible. The work of cleaning the streets and lots of weeds has progressed very favorably and most of them are in good shape. Pride has done much to make some of the citizens Bhow en terprise and get the weeds out of the way but there are still a number of places where work can be done to ad vantage. Those owning property with weeds in the streets in front can have them cut and mowed much easier and much cheaper than the city will do the work for and the city certainly Intends to have the work done If the property owners do not intend to do It themselves. To save money the thing to do Is do the work yourself and do it today for this is the last day of grace. Main street presents a very good appearance for the Fourth. The weeds on high school hill have been cut with the exception of one un sightly bunch on the south side just west of the home of C. C. Wescott. All of that gentleman's weed3 have been cut and his place presents a very tidy appearance. Across the streets the property of the Metho dist church has been cleaned of the weeds and the lots Just west owned by J. E. McDanlel have also been cleaned and the weeds cleanel from the street. The Bchool board through its able Janitor, V. M. Mullls, has cleaned the weeds from the street about their large ground and S. Long has done likewise in front of his property as has J. M. Roberts and A. V. Atwood. The same condition applies to most of the streets in the city as applies to Main. There are scatter ing and exceptional cases in which the weeds have not been cleaned on all the streets but the general rule Is that the people complied with the request of the city officers. A Xew Uoy. John Swarts, living a few miles south of the city, is one of the proud men of Cass county this day. He Is the father of a fine young son and heir who arrived at his home yester day noon and at once demanded room and board. ' The father was perfectly willing and considers tht ho has a star boarder in the young man. Mrs. Swarts Is also a very proud mother and It Is pleasant to Bay that both Mrs. Swarts and the son are getting along very nicely. A. F. Hedengren, master carpen ter of the Burlington, was a visitor this morning In the city, having come In last night for an over night stop at the Riley.

Councilman Frank Neuman Is tak ing a layoff today and probably for several days as a result of an acci dent which occurred yesterday at the Burlington shops. He was engaged, in taking a casting out of an end sill in a car when the "b&r with which he was working prying the casting loose, slipped and he was thrown violently forward. He wrenched the muscles of his neck very severely and today is suffering a good deal of pain there from, although he feels better than last night, having a very restless and uneasy night. John Brady, night watchman at the Burlington shops, is taking a lay off of a few days owing to a series of minor accidents which he has suffered- from lately. While passing through the sub-store at the shops on his rounds, he accidentally hit his hand against the wall and skinned it up some and later while going through the yards on his rounds, he stumbled over some skids which were In the path and again skinned the same hand. The Injuries are not serious but are rather painful, the hand being a very sensitive one ow ing to his losing several fingers from it last summer. Prokop Stokr a painter at the Bur- lington shops, sustained some skin I wounds while at his work yesterday. I He was carrying a piece of tin from 'a refrigerator car on his shoulder when It slipped off and fell upon his left arm, taking a good bit of the skin off. The injury is not a danger ous one. John Woster, machine man In the planing mill, is taking a layoff caus ed by a mashed finger on the left hand. He was engaged in making end sills and while piling them up ac cldently caught his finger between, two of them with the result that It was mashed. The Injury Is painful but not considered serious. Itoy Mayfield, a coremaker in the Burlington brass foundry, Is taking a few days off on account of a mash ed foot. A fellow workman in letting some work down on the floor acci dentally let It fall upon the foot. The result is some severe bruises which will keep' him on the relief several days. Thcshing Machine For Sale Owing to the fact that my work is In such shape that I will be unable to run my thresher this season, I have decided to offer the same for sale, and at a price that is right. This out fit consists of a 13 h. p. Gaar-Scott engine, one J. I. Case 32-52 separ ator, self feeder and wind stacker, also water tanks. This outfit will be sold at a bargain If taken soon.
