"But you ain‘t going back to New Mex," he said in a cnanged tone. "I don‘t know what I‘m going to do," Jim confessed. "Don‘t you dare to think of going back that way," said Haskell sharply. "Grant Garnett is still sheriff, the durned crook, and he ain‘t forgot you. Let him get his dirty hands on you and your life ain‘t worth that." He snapâ€" ped his strong bony fingers. Jim was silent a moment or two. He liked Has.â€" kell and trusted him and it seemed that the best thing was to tell him the whole story. Fortyâ€"eight hours later ne and Trant were aboard the Berlin steaming down channel. Not wanting to run into acâ€" quaintances Jim had booked second cabin under the name Oof Freeland. After dinner he was enjoying a pipe in the smoking room when he noticed a long gaunt American sitting at a table at a little distance. There was someâ€" thing vaguely familiar about the man and Jim was looking at him when the other turned and saw Jim. He stared a moment then got up and strode across the room. "It‘s the boiled shirt put me off," said Jim as he shook hands cordially. "Last time we met you were wearing blue overalls, a pair of Blucher boots and a Stetson that had seen beitter days." Hashel) necdded. "Down at the Loomis cattie pens. Hot as hell and you was helping load two hundred head of stock into box cars. Gee, but I can hear ‘em bawling. Them were good days." He turned and beckâ€" oned a steward. *"This nere meeting calls for something special. What‘ll be, Jim?" "Whiskey and soda, Ward." "What about a bottle 0‘ bubbly?" Jim shook his head. "Not at this hour of the night." Rather regretfully Haskell ordered two highballs. Jim spoke. "What brings you over here, Ward?" "Business Jim. I‘ve got on right smart last few years.

"Jim, don‘t say you‘ve forgot Ward Haskell." "I don‘t want to go hack to Loomis, Ward." he said. "but it‘s on the cards I may have to. You remember Joan Chandler?" "I‘d say I do. A fine girl that. I saw her no more‘n six months azoâ€"and pretty Jim! Why you wouldn‘t believe that longâ€"leged freckled kid could change so. She‘s a beauty." "I know. I saw her less than a week ago. Now listen."

Jim paid the bill and presently they were in the car again. The rain had stopped, the sun shone, the country looked very lovely. If Jim had not been so anxious he would have enjoyed the drive.

"I am already engaged, Ward, but Miss Vaughan, my fiancee, is as keen as I that Joan should be got away from Bignal and Farne." "And what do you reckon to do with her back in England?" "Find her work that she will like. I‘m a rich man, Ward, and I think I can find her a job that will suit her and make her independent. All the same I hate to think of her being a swindlâ€" ed out of her property in America." "Maybe you could send out an agent to buy up that land of hers," said Hasâ€" . ‘remember.

He gave Jim a powerful grip. "I been expecting you, Sir James, My partner cabled me you were coming. Yes, I got the letter you were expecting. Read it right away," he added. "I guess I know just how you are feeling." Jim stared doubtfully at the envelope. The night before they reached New York Haskell asked Jim about his plans, and Jim told him he meant to go straight to the Broadway Office of Franklyn Slatter, Bissett‘s New York agent. "In my cable I asked Joan to leave a note there, and tell me where I could see her," he said. ‘"What I‘m hoping is that she has cut loose from her stepâ€"father and that Ishall be able to take her straight back." "I sure hope so," said Haskell with unsual gravity. "You don‘t want to run into Murray FParne again. He‘s poison." Jim‘s only baggage was a suitcase and when they docked at ten in the morning Haskell agreed to take it with him to the Brevoort, where he was saying. Trant, too, would go with Hasâ€" kell. Jim was to meet them later. Meanâ€" time Jim took a taxi to Slatter‘s ofâ€" fice which was on the 17th floor of a tall building to which Jim was shot up in a fast elevator, and Siatter proved to be a large, genial man who sat in Haskell thinking when al image 0| Jim was forward Nita to didn‘t s1 ing.

I‘ve some Highland cattle there that you‘d like, Ward, and nearly two thousand sheep." Ward looked horrified. "Don‘t tell me you‘ve turned sheep man!" Jim laughed again. "Sheep are all right on their native hills, We don‘t despise them in Szotland as you do in the West."~ It was very good for Jim to have Haskell with him.

"The writing bothered me, but Miss Chandler explains that she has sprainâ€" eda her right wrist, and that she will meet me here this afternoon at four. Will that suit you?" "Dear Jim,â€"I have had a fall and sprained my right wrist. 1 am trying to write with my left hand.

Transâ€"Canada planes, it is pointed out, are monoplanes, which because of their superior speed have become more common than biplanes. The Lockheed 10A‘s and 14A‘s are lowâ€"winged. A term better known than some is "cockpit", which refers to the space occupied ‘by the pilot or pilots from which the craft is controlled in the air. The fuselage is the main body structure into which the passenger cabâ€" in is built and to which the main planes and the tail plare assembly are attachâ€" ed. With the coming of tne Transâ€"Canâ€" ada Airlines, a great many new words will go into circulation in the Dominâ€" ion and officers of the new transportaâ€" tion agency, interviewed the other day. gave an explanation of some of them. First of all, they differentiated beâ€" tween two types of planes, monoplane and biplane. The definition of the former is "an aeroplane having one pair of wings, one on each side of the fuseâ€" lage." These two wings may be atâ€" tached to the top or the bottom of the fuselage and the planes are known acâ€" cordingly as "highâ€"wing" or "lowâ€"wing" monoplanes. The biplare has two pairs of wings, one pair across the top of the fuselage and the cther across the botâ€" tom. : In the "gap‘" between, interplane struts and flying and landing wires make a box truss out of the whole apâ€" There are two ailerons. These are hinged flaps on the trailing edge of the wing. Their purpose is to control banking, which is turning the aircraft in a revolving motion about its horizonâ€" tal axis. What‘s an aileron?
