He was on his feet, A few paces from her he went then caste back and stood towering over her as she lay at his feet. The red flame of the sunrise was behind him, "Give me your promise -no, your oath-ou one thing and I will never speak to you of my love again un- less nless you give me leave," he said slowly, 'I'll promise anything -anything,' She was feverishly auxions. Again that fear of herself possessed her. She had to attend on his sireng:h to ;ave them both from a malness they would repeat always, "Then promise -swear --that you will never again fly in any machine of your ,husband's design, That you will never take part in any of his crazy schemes!" She drew a deep breath, Did he Why let all that space in your basement go to waste? Let us show you how little it costs to turn it into a game room offering fun and relaxa- tion for young and old.

Powell made me premise," "To tite evil with his madman's Plans!" Masters set his jaw in the way Leonie knew so well, "It is your promise to me I want, I am waiting and I am not patient." A moment's throbbing silence- ! then catitulatlon, "Very well, I prolulse I'll not fly the Golden Bird," she said, "Nor any other machine In whiolt 1 Powell Carr bas had a hand?" I "I promise," she said, again, And then because site was ex- hausted in mind and body she turn- ed in her face on the sand and wept bitterly, He went away from her towards the dawn -he mad not bear to see her tears. And through the silence came the familiar humming of an engine, "Our night is over," Masters said, coming back to her, and she heard a note of something she had never heard before in his voles, She fancied it was regret. "Thank heaven!" she murmured, fervently, and he glanced at her s wiftly, "You will never forgive me," and his eyes went from her to the circling aeroplane that came like a hawk from the blue and gold of the sky, ''We always pay for what we do. That will be my price -the loss of your friendship," She wanted to tell him she had no hatred but love in her heart for him, but she was another man's wife and so she stood silent as the rescue 'plane swooped from the blue to save them, CHAPTER II, Return, "Mrs. Cart', just give me your version of the accident will you?

Leonie Carr answered and posed with mechanical Inrliffeernce, totally at variance with her usual vivacity, and one paper hinted that the well- known air -woman looked 111 after her trying experience; Leonie was a very quiet hereine as she landed on the English shores, and reached her Immo in Surrey with a feeling that she was a different person from the girl who had left England a short time ago. Powell Carr met her at the station; a tall, white-faced man with hoick, restless movements, he Was more concerned about the cause of the disaster than her wel- fare.

"You would!" cried Powell, an his thin lints sneered, ''He faatcies himself as an inventor, Leonie, an I think it is about time we chadged your Pilot, dh " "Yes --1 think so," agreed Leonie, and her heart grew heavies• as sbe remembered those moonlit, magical hours when they had been alone in the vast desert. True he had used his power to exact a promise which she mould find almost impossible to keep, yet in spite of that her lips had stirred beneath bis. Powell and Leonia dined: alone, for guests never came to the lonely old house that stood in its grounds and sheltered the famous work shops where Powell worked out his inventions, It was a queer meal, punctuated by broken remarks on either side and the girl was conscious of her' dawning aversion for the man whose name she bore. He was one who would sacrifice anything and anybody for his own ends and she could not help admir- ing his intensity, He lived Inc the success of his iuventiony--the latest of which was an engine that he vowed would revolutionise the whole of the flying industry, "I am glad you are not hurt Leonie," 11e said, presently, as he fingered a glas sof Vine with his long white lingers, "I shall be able to fix the exact date for the Golden Bird's start this week, All being well she will be ready for the trial next month."

He leaned over to her, his eyes boring'her like flash- lights, "Not lost your nerve, have you?

' NAo, of course it isn't,'' agreed Leonie wearily, Site was tired and ,he had listened to such a tirride so often. "Butt perhaps next year when your nerves are better and your eyes---" "Curse my li alth!" shoutedshoutedPow- ell and he rose, overturning his Chair. "I ought to be in all the papers as you are! I ought to tie the Hero of .my flight when the hour conies -not you!" "Then, I say again -wait until you are well enough-' began Leonie, but he bwung round on her savagely, ''Walt! Wait.

She ruse, and her heart was throbbing quickly, 'I -I ant tired•--4he journey after 5t1 all that exeltr'ni and worry has knocked nip, up, Powell.

She tried to laugh, but herhervoice was high and their wavering and She moved restlessly, Instantly rte had caught her by e- the shoulders, his thin flugers, dug - into her flesh, "What is the matter with you?" U, he debnanded, "Don't yen want t me to kiss you -and I am your hus- band," e' She flamed from head to toot, Ch! how site wished with all her heart k and soul she had died when the machine had crashed to its fiery Y. death on the dessert's dusty face. After those other kisses --those Y' . stolen kisses -could she bear t others ou her lips? "IT I didn't know that Masrs te and you hated each obiter I should d • say he had been making love to you on that trip." The `man spoke harshly and his eyes narrowed, "But you don't like Masters, Leonie, You wouldn't like a man who is ready to steal from your husband," -why should you think Captain Masters is guilty of such a low down action?" she demanded, guickly, "You are Suspicious or everyone, Powell -everyone. We have never had a pilot or a ntechanic yet who has not come under your suspicion. It is not fair!" "Oh, defend the hero ,by ail means!" Ile shook her Tightly, and there was more than mere sac casttle raillery in this tone and action, "Did I say anything against your gallant captain!" Swiftly his mood and tone changed, "But why this sudden championship? What has Masters, done to deserve your defence? He made a mese of your flight, anyway, and he has lost a valuable machine into the bargain!" "The whole thing was an anci- dent!" said Leonie, quickly, "Cap- tain .Masters saved my life and did all he could, to put out the flames," "He did what he was paid to do!" snapped Powell. "Never mind him! 1 am"tired of his name!" Abruptly l re pulled her to ltim, 'And now let's celebrate your return!" He releas- ed her and took up his wlneghtss.
