Fred emergency can of'gas. So-s0 throt- tled the' engine and began a slow coast down. Jerry fed the gas in through an especially planned vent and listened anxiously for a leak in the feed line. Looking over he could see the ground rushing up at them. "Climb again," he shouted. But S0-s0 had not needed hig di- rection. Releasing the throttle she began fo. climb, gaining altitude, hoping that the knocking would not begin again. But it did. Jerry leaned danger- ously down to try to locate the trouble. Unless they cbuld check this disturbance it would mean a forced landing. Brazil, swampy rivers, wild ani. mals, tangled forests, an.impossible place to land, miles from any settle- ment probably, and, since the radio had long ceased to give signals, no one could know where they were. To land in that desolate country, burdened with a sick man was tragedy. He went back to his place, letting So-s0 scramble back to her instru- ments. Fred still slept, placidly, like an infant, Jerry debated wak- ing him. No. Not yet. Wait. You never_could tell in this alr business. He looked at So-so. From her white face and intent eyes he knew that she was aware of the danger, He spoke her name, "So-s0?" "Yes." "Looks bad." "Stick it out. We'll make it." "Maybe. get as far land." New courage flowed into Jerry's They That knocking heart at her stout words. would make it. We'll keep her going-- as we can before we was right then. And he--why he had always loved So-so--he, Jerry, the double distilled idiot had never loved any one else. And he was finding it out now--now when it seemed certain that the Golden Girl would shortly be a tangled mass of wreckage in the trees of that forest down below. He put his hands over hers, "Me too--=S0-80," he said. The light in her eves dazzled him. He was drowning in their depth. And she was saying, "Then I don't mind--anything--except for Fred Weariness left him. Determina- tion and confidence filled his mind and heart. *Check the course, So- 80. We've got to be somewhere near--oh So-so, look!" Ahead of them, swimming, a mere gpeck in the sky, appeared an airplane. Another and another, six of them flying in'formation to wel- come the Golden Girl, to guide her to a safe landing. Jerry looked again at the fuel nose straight on." He clambered not all the way--but we'll get some- where near." The other planes were plainly ws- ible now. '""Wake Fred if you can," Jerry told her. "No more instru- ment flying, See, they're wheeling now to fly ahead of us, pilot us fn." So-so scrambled back to where Fred lay. All was confusfon in her mind. Jerry loved her. She khew that now, Something had revealed it to him. But there were Fred and Connie, and the myriad ex- planations and adjustments ahead. Push them aside. Don't think of them now. Wake Fred. She knelt and shook him gently. "Wake up Fred. We're there. Rio's EARTH TREMORS DUE T0 GAS EXTRACTION Alberta Geologist Explains Recent Tremors in Turner Valley Edmonton, Alta, June 15.-- Tremors and subsidence of tne earth's surface in the vicinity of Xthe Turner Valley section of Al- berta are believed to have resulted from the extraction of large vol- umes of gas and oil from the sedi- mentary rock in the valley, and the strange rumbling sounds heard re- cently coming from under the earth there are regarded as slight tremors due to readjustment of the rock body following such extrac- tion. Dr. John A. Allan, head of the Department of Geology, Uni- versity of Alberta, in an interview with the Edmonton Journal, {is ties of oil and gas in a compara- quoted as saying that the supposed subsidences would probably be small and of a local nature, as the earth: tremors would be from the same cause. Dr. Allan some time ago suggested to the Dominion Government that a survey should be taken by the Geodetic Depart ment as some interesting results might be shown therefrom. The Journal says: In support of his view that tremors and subsi- dences would necessarily be ony of a minor nature, Dr. Allan points out that the amount of gas and oil removed from the sedimentary rocks is comparatively = small in comparison with the volume of rock itself, and that consequently, adjustments would be of a minor nature, and probably so slight and so slow in effect, as not to be no- ticed except by scientific instru- ments. . He thinks it quite possible that earth tremors in oil and gas fields such as Turner Valley, would be sufficiently strong to be recorded on the seismograph. > We have an escort of planes, we'll be landing in a few minutes." Fred stood up groggily. "Won'{ de it," he said. "You sit there, You finish the trip." Panic showed in So-so's face. "No, no, I don't want any one even to know I came. Quick Fred, ge! back there--Jerry's circling for a landing." Something in her voice sent Fred forward. Jerry grinned at him when he slid into place. "Nice nap?" he asked. So-s0 was standing behind them, talking to both of them, pleading, "Let me hide here in the ship-- come back for me and let me slip away in the night---please, please " But Jerry shook his head. "Let me manage it, We'll give em the truth, So-so0, or as much of it as we can." "Don't mention ment," Fred said sharply. "Keep the sentiment out of it. Tell em she came along as A& passenger-- tell about her father's invention-- keep it practical." "No. No. Let me hide." The Golden Girl was describing a long are now. Hordes of people were - swarming over the landing field. "Viva, viva la Golden Girl," floated up to the ears of the weary three. With a'last gurgled knocking the engine ceased. The Golden Girl coasted down the soft springlike Rls. aud settled to rest like a weary bird. our engage- ee-- tively restricted area has no detri- mental effect on the land itself, either by way of earthquake read- justment or surface subsidence, Dr. Allen states that there have been no records of such happenings in the densely developed areas in some parts of southern California, where, if at all, definite evidences might be expected. SERIOUSLY INJURED Toronto, June 15. -- Knocked' down by an automobile in a lane- way near Annette street early last night, William John Osler, aged 83, residing at 31 Montye avenue, Runnymede, was removed to St. Joseph's hospital suffering from fractured ribs and injuries to his head.

A, Hutten, at the Griqualand West Criminal Sessions recently when the outstand- ing feature of the calendar was the extraordinary number of charges under the Diamond Trade Act, nine cases out of 17 being of this char- acter: declared: "It causcs one furiously to think and to wouder whether the recent discovery of so many alluvial diamond fields is not a curse, rather than a blessing to the country. It certainly seems to have the effect of enormous- ly increasing illicit dealing in dia- monds, One finds men who have hitherto led an honest and blame- less life giving way, in their frantic haste to acquire wealth, to tempta- tions which the discovery of rich al- luvial fields cause, and you find them being sent to gaol in consequence, "A very small proportion 1s suc- cessful. The large majority are re- duced to a state of dire poverty. The discovery recently of so many allu- vial fields has so far, proved nothing but a national calamity." Hit-and-Run Drivers Will Receive Lash Johnnesburg, South Africa, June 15. --A warning that any. driver of a motor car who knocks down any per son and drives on without stopping to sec what injury he has caused will receive the lash was issued by Justice Krause at the Rand Criminal Sessions recently when he fined Idwal Thomas, a European ambulance driver at Springs, $125 with the option of six months imprisonment. The accused pleaded guilty to running into a native who was riding a bicycle on the road near Barkpan and causing his death. Thomas had stopped his ambulance, placed the colored man inside and rushed him to a hospital, but the in- jured man died six days later, "You people who drive ambulances and post offce vans," said the judge, "think that you own the road and that no one clse has a right to be any- where near you, Justice Krause told Thomas that if he had not stopped, a sentence of lashes would have been considered. "I issue a general warn- ing," said the Judge. "Men who come before me who have driven into some- one and havesthen driven on without caring for the result will get lashes. Must Deliver Milk At Certain Temperature Montreal, June 15.--Milk deal- ers of this city have been warned by circular letter from the city de- partment of health that they must obey the milk by-law requiring that milk shall be delivered at a temperature of 45 degrees Faren- heit with a view to the prevention of infant mortality. The co-opera- tion of the people of Montreal in general in the matter of assisting to carry out the by-law providing for the proper temperature of milk in summer is requested by the de- partment. In the circular to the milk deal- ers the department of health states: "It has been noted that during the hot days of summer, if milk delivered to the public is at temperature higher than 45 de- grees F. infant mortality rate from diarrhoea and gastro-enteritis in- creases considerably during the weeks that follow.
