THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1928 A New' Absorbing Love Story of the Air o wiARPTER NINE Pausing long enough to leap into her flannel shirt and breeches and bbing her boots and underwear in hands, she started to fight her way back to the Bam, startled by the scream, scampered wildly ahead of Joan, the kitten's bushy white tail straight out behind her like a rudder. Half way to the beach Joan met the two men rushing to her aid. "What is it? What's wrong?" Ivor demanded, brandishing his revolver, Joan could only point to the top of the cliff. She was breathless, "Eyes| Eyes!" she managed to Bet ahold of yourself, Joan," Ivor commanded, He seized her firmly the arms, not entirely uncons- 8 of the thrill that shot through him at the contact with her smooth white skin. "What's wrong?" "There's someone on the island!" oan cried. "I saw a dark, bushy ead, and horrible beady little eyes peering down at me from the cliff rooks and Collins looked quickly to where Joan pointed. They saw nothing but the sheer rock wall. "If--I don't know why I was so frightened, I never was before--" Joan panted, sinking to the ground. "Nerves. You've been through enough to shake anyone. Was it a white man?" ' "No--black, I only saw it for an instant, The eyes scared me--" "Wonder how we can get up that rock?" Collins puzzled. . "Why not call it a day now?" Ivor suggested, "We're all dead tired, and nervous, Why don't we get our- i selves some food and go to sleep here on the beach?" "You're right, I'm so dizzy for sleep I could drop down right here!" Art looked weary, Great dark circles round his eyes and his clean young forehead was furrowed with lines, He was no longer the youth who had started from San Francisco. The corners of his big mouth drooped pitifully and his blue eyes were film- ed with fatigue, While the two men went for a swim, Joan took stock of their poss sessions which had been salvaged from the Sky Maiden. Her bag, with its few bits of underwear, a chemise, toilet articles, wet and useless; Bam's dozen cans of milk, a grip which be- longed jointly to Ivor and Art, con- taining their pyjamas, and shaving articles; the case of food, which boasted nothing more than a few mr 1 g\ GL The cool, comforting flavor of WRIGLEY'S Spearmint is a lasting pleasure, It cleanses the mouth after eating--gives a clean taste and sweet breath, JURY & LOVELL'S EXCLUSIVE OPTICAL PARLORS Scientific Examination of the eyes by experienced Eyesight Specialists, WINGS" 'BY BOB EDEN damp, limp sandwiches, several emp t and a few boxes of BE a am arettes, also wet. She took these last and spread them out in lowering sun, Ivor and Art look for them and Then gathering some brushwood, she made a fire, In the midst of the coals she put the case of the thermos bottle, filled with cool spring water, Something warm to drink would help and the water mixed with Bam's powdered milk would serve their purpose. : 'Nothing much for dinner," she called as she saw the two men com- ing down the beach. "No ex= cept Bam's milk and some concen. trated food." "That's fine," Art joked. "All I want." They sat merrily by the fire, sip. p their milk and trying to pre- tend they enjoyed the food tablets, hen they had nearly finished, Bam strolled out of the brush, a small field mouse hanging from her pink lips, Joan shuddered, but did- n't take the animal away from the cat, After all, it would help, having Bam forage for her own food, "I'm going to slee; over there," Art said finally, pointing to a palm tree whose spreading fronds waved at their backs. "Me, too," Ivor put in, "and Joan had better take that tree over there." He motioned to one about 50 feet away, "Not tonight, I won't sleep so far away," Joan announced, "I'm go- ing to lic down between you, I don't want any beady black eyes lookin at me when I'm so dead tired can't defend myself." "What would Ralph say if he knew you were sleeping with two strange men," Art joked, tweeking her ear, "He wouldn't care, and besides, you aren't strange! What can we use for covers?" "Everything is wet; we'll have to do without covers tonight," Ivor an- swered, He strolled over to look at their bed, Under the palm the sand was loose and soft and still warm from the sun, Art and Joan came over presently, and the three lay down together, Joan between them, Sleep came to them almost in» stantly, Their nerves overwrought, their bodies weakened, they slum. bered through the tropical night without moving, without dreaming, without even feeling the ocean chill, , . , The dawn, when it lighted the sky, only awakened Bam, who crept back to the jungle, in search of ane other mouse, under that tree Only when the sun was well on|j its upward journey, and its heat was streaming down the beach in long, hot ribbons, did they awake, re- freshed, "Well, did you hear anything in the night?" Joan asked as she sat up yawning and ran her fingers through her tangled hair, "Nothing," Ivor returned, leaping fo his feet, bound for the swimming 10le. "We've got to explore today and find a wireless station somewhere, We probably landed on the unin. habited side of the island," Art an- nounced, v Breakfast which Joan prepared was supplemented by some bananas which Art found coming back from the pool, "The rock wall is what puzzles " Ivor said, as he drank his warm i "We got to get by the marsh onto the other side of the beach, There might possibly be some habi- tation there, We can't get through to the north, because the beach ends abruptly 'at the rock, Art found that out yesterday, There is the wall at the marsh end, hi Tor it may be easier to get by, hat do you say to hiking it to the south and beyond, if we can, today?" "Fine!" Art and Joan agreed, They rolled up some logs for the fire so they would not have to renew it when they came back, looked once more at the Sky Maiden, which the tide had brought high and dry on the beach, and walked off in the dis rection of the pool, Art and Ivor agreed that when they returned they would smear the engine of the Sky Maiden thoroughly with grease so it would not rust, They would also examine it carefully to see if it was still in good order, and repair the y "I can"t see that anything is wrong with her, except possibly the water on the engine, And, of course, the Sone ThRLonG $G adood Otfice; Private Wire System 11 King Street East, Oshaws -- Absve CPR.

We let it out of the tanks, you know," interrupted Ivor, "Sure, but we may be able to get gas here, if we find a settlement, and go on," Art's eyes gleamed as he looked back at the plane. . They came to the marsh and, with their boots in their hands, waded pig) ~ It had a sandy bottom, and the deepest rt was only Joan's Bog weeds abounded, and now and then the sliding shiver of a snake startled the three ex- plorers. At the end they met the rock cliff again, higher than ever, It jutted out into the sea, Dis- couraged they sat down to figure out some way to get past it to the other side, _ * le Finally Art suggested skirting the rocks in the sea, They were cruel, sharp-tipped, jagged rocks, and the surf beat against them violently. The tide was just going out, so they waited until it was at its ebb, They heard only the boom of the breakers resounding against the rock, and the call of a few large birds as they flew near the shore. The monotonous song of the waves lulled Joan into quiet after a while. She was unconscious of Art, and Ivor, and their conversation on the possibilities of leaving the island, Her thoughts went back to Ralph, He would be worried, when they did not arrive in Tokio in a few hours. But perhaps they could find some way ta let him know they were safe. She saw his pale, worried face ... his gray, clear eyes shot with pain. Her father, too. , .. Ralph, it was good of him to let her go... perhaps she had asked too much of him. But it would come out all right, So much had happened in only 48 hours, ., so much-- Art's voice came dimly to her ears, Art, dear Art had becn so brave, And Ivor, his brown face shining in the sun, and his moustache already a little scraggly. \Vithout Ivor, what would they have done? "What are you thinking about, Joan?" Art inquired, "Oh, about you and Ivor Ralph," she answered slowly, her eyes filling with sudden tears. She turned away quickly so the two men wouldn't see them. "Mostly Ralph?" Ivor teased, "Sort of divided," and the laughed unsteadily. "Let's start now." Art arose stiffly. They made their way over the wet rocks slowly, for a misstep would have sent them down into the white breakers. On the rocks clung crus- taceans, their shells gray and worn as the boulders themselves. Ivor in. sisted that they might be good to eat oan shivered at the thought of eating those queer shelled things, On the other side of the cliff a smooth beach loomed up, much like and girl the fan-shaped one on which they had landed. as far as they gracefully, Palms, hamboo and tropical trees waved back of it, and beyond still the high plateau, just as impenctrable, as h'gh, (To be continued) GIRL IS VICTIM OF It stretched for miles-- MURDEROUS ASSAULT ' Stamford, Conn., Oct, 20." -- The police are searching for a supposed maniac who made a murderous as- sault Bayes, a pretty 20-year-old private secretary, whose home is in Ansonia, Conn,, and who is temporarily living here. Taking the young woman in his car ostensibly "lift" to the business centre, the man laid a roundabout eourse, and when on Magee Avenue, an isolated section, asked whether she wag for Smith or Hoover, "I'm for the better man," ans- wered Miss Bayes. Then the man grabbed her by the throat, bore her out of the car into some bushes, pounded her on the head with a jagged skull was severely fractured and tossed her body into a creek, The cold water revived Miss Bayes and she crawled out and up the bank to the street, where she collapsed and was found later, Meantime the man disappeared, Miss Bayes' condition is critical, could see--curving here Friday on Miss Olga to give her a rock until her This old-time stage Royal York veyance of day at the Old Mill for Ue Sunnyside "Tally Ho!

During his term of office Mr. Rinder has made a consistently good selection of works old and new, bearing in mind the double requirement of hith artistic quality and representative value, Examples of Van Dyck, Tin- toretto, Goys, Raeburn, Corot, Pu- vis de Chavannes, and Bastien Le- page are fresh in mind. Most of these works have heen publicly ex- hibited at the National Gallery or the Tate Gallery before being sent to Australia so that there has heen every opportunity for competent erities to judre their merits and in several instances the work has excited envy in the directors of our own galleries, To select suit- ahle works which will at the same time satisfy the tastes of a ecom- mittre at the other end of the earth and fall in with their notions af a good bargain is an extremely difficult task and Mr. Rinder will ts in, bond tw |ficials at the ports of designation, not easily be replaced." 3-8 bk Hj , A, Neale, who is i the Royal York SAL) » HOOVER PROMISES SPECIAL SESSION FOR FARM RELIEF Washington, D.C,, Oct 27.--Her- bert Hoover announced today that if the Republicn Party is returned to power he would call an extra session of Congress to deal with farm relief if adequate legislation should not be enacted at the com: ing session, He characterized the farm relief ques ion as "our most urgent cconomic probelm."
