sparkling riisblls he raised his glssa and toasted our coming adventure to the aafe voyage of the wlll- othewtap and the honorable geor gia calendars diamond dog collar said he and we drank it oft with deep feel ing k month before i had come across ashcroft or ratner he had come arrosa me and in a manner that left no doubt as to my intentions in visiting him the fact of it wis that hi home being one of the most snugleoktag villas in tbe exclusive section of staten inland and i being a gentleman liv ing mainly by nay wita i cast my eyes upon it and computed mentally jnsf how much i shonld be in if fnrtano should favor me with a clear held the upshot of the thing was that just as i was ahout to descend rrena his thirdstory window together with what more or less valuable articles i hnd managed to pick up in the conrss of my visit tbe electrlcllghts were iwltehed on and a bullet splattered the plaster down the back of my neck ashcroft changed his mind after the first shot took me in instructed me in what he was pleased to call the finer points of the name and from that sal we were inseparable we distrusted each other moat cor dially nnd split the profits he looked up at me from a long anal silent meditation upon the virtues of the wine the wind will drop in about fifteen minutes i should say and th honor able mrs calendars little private rsof party takes plnee at eleven

behind aesat and we wiled through darkness tbe country below as was as inky sortac with here and there a twinkling llgbt that spoke of a noose ashcroft moved tbe lever a nit and my seat inclined a fraction i knew that we wars climbing presently w righted aad aba along on a level ashcroft let out anetber notch and the purring of the atotor increased to a muffled ham a wtraa- ing white ribbon that i knew was the turnpike was discernible below as and a black spot was racing along la oar wake it was an automobile and a faint tooting of the horn came up to as bat tbe men in it never lifted their faei two thousand feet said ashcroft we abtll just make it- far below us to the right on could make ont th varied lights of coney island a llrtl north of them the sharp knlfollk traak of a searchlight from the navy yard swept back and forth across th sky one heading exactly in onr direction but we wars beyond its focus it looked uka a toy city i could hardly believe it waa new york that vago wilderness of roefm- the long strings of lights that were the streets the faint slots- of bread- way th crawllbk things that i taw ware th trains of the elevated rail road it wa exactly u00

v the butler aear th door must have made some movement for ashcrofts revolver barked sharply and the fel- low conghed and clawed and crumpled acntsa a little table full of empty dirties my lord rose slowly to his iteet and his florid face worked in fury he was no coward if he did have other defects what do you wsntt he said ashcroft waited until the little wrvuth of acrid smoke had lifted and then stepped forward we had no tlmo to lose now it was unfortunate that we had to kill the butler no doubt the sharp report had roused the curiosity of some in quisitive citizens and it was only a matter of time when help might appear on the roof you will unfasten your shirtstuds and drop them on the table in front of you he snld curtly he waved bis pistol and the rest slunk back and then while i covered them he went swiftly to mrs calen dar and undid the necklace holding it up for a moment in the light in a sort of gloating satisfaction and then slipped it into his pocket i swept the studs into the palm of my hand there were six of them large and bluewhite and they clinked together mualoally as i took them i could see the lord of coventry quivering in im potent rsge with his hands above

with aobblng curses at the propellers the sudden roar of the gnome as she spun in a shrieking circle we rolled tor- ward shot over the edge dipped with a sickening sensation to what seemed certain destruction caught the wind on our forward planes and mounted steadily for a moment there waa a splendid sensation in it all a sense of power and disdain for the impotent little things that ran and ahouted in the streetaa thousand feet below us and turned up white faces in the yellow lights gesticulating comically i think they shot at us when we had got up 2000 feet w turned a little and i could just make out the dark outline of staten island la the bay below then the wlllothewisp quivered and plunged and righted again and swerved and shot upward in an odd manner i turned to ashcroft be had slumped in a grotesque man ned to the hack of th seat and there was a trickle of blood running down the shoulder of his coat a sudden gnat of wind rocked the aeroplane to one aide and we dropped and ahot for ward with frightful speed down an invisible toboggan with a desperate effort i righted th planes and for gn instant we sang along steadily then i lost control two thousand feet la the air i lost control of tbe aeroplane another de scent and another upward lurch a i recovered vt war rocking furiously new i dared to glance down what i saw was that ashcroft had fallen so that the engine connection was be yond my reach i could not stop it a sudden glare blinded my ayes the wlllethewisp had dropatd into th path of the searchlight and for an instant i looked dowa into th heart of the dassllng radiance i must haveralsed th planes again for w ahot upward the searchlight swept by and i fled into the darkness helpless on the back of tbs throbbing monster with a dead man for a pas senger then there cam aucrack from some- where in themat of wires that aetted and crossed behind me in th white glare aa the searchlight caught ns again ashcroft s ejres looked ap at me in an unseeing manner i think it was the left wing that gave way the wlllothewisp rlco- chetted from aid to side in a drunken fashion collapsed in midair and then turned over and over snd hurtled downward i dont know how i managed it the shock of the water revived n a bit i was more dased than hurt aad there were one or two bits of wreckage i floating about after managed to dive nnd shed my heavy coat and get ont from under all that was left of the vlllothwlsp i could see the searchlight playing about nn the water in search of as mill it finally get tba maehlna bat i kept nut of its reach aad paddled away
