Orenler was so busy with the making up process that he did not notice what his companion waa doing. His bent form shrouded tho light, and Mason placed the hat carelessly on a chair. Ho chanced to hold It by an uninjured part of the rim and never thought of examining It. At last Grenler declared himself satis-fled. "What do you think of the result?" he demanded, facing about so that the other could see both Anson and himself. "First-rate. It would deceive his mother." A tcrritla rat-tat sounded on the outer door. A direct nummons to the Infernal regions could not hive startled both men more thoroughly. Grenler, with the pro tecting make-up on forehead and cheeks. only showed his terror In his glistening eyes and palsied frame. Mason, whom nothing could daunt, was, nevertheless. spellbound with surprise. "What Intruder was this who knocked so Imperatively? They were a mile and a half from the nearest habitation, four miles from a village. What tearful chance had brought to their door one who thus boldly demanded admission? Had thetr scheme miscarried at this vital moment? Had Anson suspected something and ar ranged that He should be followed by res cuersavengers? The sheer agony of fear restored drelner's wits.

Flying over New fork City, "Wright's aeroplane would have startled people In tho streets beneath with the shadow of Its great wings, and have brought their hearts Into thrlr mouths as he steered perilously around the upper walls of olnnt skyscrapers. But If I.egagneaux had passed over New York City at the height of his flight ho would have ben virtually Invisible, and a spi'alas woulfl have shown him and his machine like a soaring mosquito lost In the blue. The swift skyward climb of tho aero plane seems less wonderful than it Is be cause the twentieth century has been so lavish with prodlsl that our appre ciation of the marvelooa Is becoming dulled. In order to estimate R at Its real value we must make comparisons, and above n we must appeal to the eye, which Is tho great umpire as well as tho great teacher. To a French artist Is due the graphic representation of the successful upward ounds of the aeroplane since IOCS, which Is herewith presented. It tells the atory better than words, and Illustrated the relation bttween these wonderful human flights and the mightiest natural emin ences on the earth's surface.

But ho was still the length of nine Eiffel towers below the elevation of Mount Everest One thing which seems rather surpris ing Is that neither IegagneUx nor any other aviator who has mounted to these Immense elevations thinks that the limit of height hss been attained.

The chief difficulties are thote affecting the physical state of the aviators. 'The cold Is necessarily very great, and the rarity of tho atmosphere, entailing a relatively disproportionate decrease in the- supply of oxygen, interferes with the respiratory and circulatory functions of the body.
