Anarsias SSiae's
Airship
Story of a Troubled
Conscience.
By CLARISSA MACKifi
The very day I arrived nt Quince
Harbor I met the Widow Rowell. She
was emerging from Em Bevls' depart
ment store, and on her comely face
was a baffled look.
"It has something to do with Ananias
Sllne," was my first thought, for these
two Interesting widows, Em Bevls and
Iletty Iiowell, were boldly contesting
for the heart and hand of Ananias
Sllne, one time mate of the good ship
Indus and now ixjrter In the Quince
Harbor bank.
"Good morning, Miss Teibam," she
gave greeting. "How's Maria's rheu
matism?"
"Much better than It was. And how
are you?"
The little widow cast c baleful back
ward glance at the department store,
where I distinctly saw Em Bevls'
sleekly pompadoured head against the
window. "I'm fine! Splendid!" re
sponded the Widow Rowell vivacious
ly. "Have you heard about Mr. Sline's
aeroplane? Captain Barnabas said
Ananias had been building one. He
makes his trial flight tonight. I'll tell
you something if you won't tell," she
added proudly.
"You may confide In me, Mrs. Row
e'.i," I reproached her. "I shall be as
silent as the grave."
She drew nearer and whispered:
"I'm going up in the airship with
Ananias!"
And while I listened, aghast, she pat
ted my arm and darted away down the
village street
Suddenly 1 remembered that I had
an errand at Km Bevls' store, and aa
I mounted the steps the door flew open
and Mrs. Bevis' ample form was bow
ing me lnskle, and her heavy features
relaxed in a geucrous smile of wel
come.
"You uenru about .Mr. Mines air
ship?" she asked suddenly.
"Yes. He makes a trial flight to
day," I repeated quickly, for I was
mindful of Hetty Howell's secret lock
ed In my breast
She glanced toward her two clerks,
young girls, bright eyed and rosy
cheeked, who were exchanging wit
Ucisms with the stage driver, who had
just delivered nn express package.
"lie's going to take a passenger,"
whispered the Widow Bevls.
"Who? Ned Roberts?" I glanced at
the lanky stage driver.
"No; Ananias Siine!"
"Oh, a passenger In the airship?" So
Hetty's secret was no secret after all.
She nodded.
"It's a secret. Perhaps you can
guess." She smiled archly.
"You?" I weakly asked.
"Yes. Don't tell a soul," she caution
ed, nlthough I am sure she hoped I
would confide the news to Hetty Row
ell.
I spent the afternoon on the bay
with Captain Barnabas and his wife,
Maria. As wo tied up at tho little
lauding below the Fish cottage the cap
tain cast a glance at tho wind signal.
"Not a puff!" he ejaculated. "There
Isn't a mortal reason why Ananias
can't make that (light tonight."
"Bright moonlight, too," added Ma
ria. "Hurry up and come to supper
so's we can go right over to Terry's
field. I want a good look at the Critter
before It's smashed to bits."
"Will the machine really fly?" I ask
ed as we ate a hurried meal.
"So Ananias says," returned the cap
tain dryly. Ananias had been his first
mate on many voyages, and Captain
Fish was confident that the truth was
not iu Ananias.
When we reached Terry's ten acre
field tho moon was lifting a great sil
ver disk above the pine woods. The
field was flooded with white light, re
vealing the gathering Crowd of villag
ers.
In the middle of the moonlit space
was a great white winged object sur
rounded by curious men and boys.
This was Ananias Sllne's airship.
Wo approached the awkward looking
abject and found Ananias himself,
looking absurdly small In a leather
aviation suit and helmet lie looked
like a brown gnome.
lie greeted us with his accustomed
dignity, but even while ho explained
the mysteries of the Hawk, as he had
named it, his cold blue eyes were
searching the arriving crowds.
"IIo is looking for Hetty, or Is it
Em Re vis?" I thought, wondering how
this latest scheme of Mr. Sline's would
work out Would he have one passen
ger or two?
A hand plucked at my sleeve. It
was Hetty Kowell, almost unrecog
nizable In heavy skirt, woolen sweater
under her winter coat and a green veil
wound around her head and face so
that only her sharp gray eyes were
visible.
"Hetty, aren't you afraid?" I -whis
pered.
She smiled proudly.
"Not with him. Ananias knows and
understands his own machine."
She slipped past me and stood talk
ing to Ananias, who continued to peer
nervously around while he talked.
There was the sound of heavy
breathing close beside me. Em Bevis,
as strangely attired as her rival, stood
there, her eyes gleaming with resold
Ltion. She pushed pagj me and
toward Ananias and tho Widow Row
en.
Before she reached them there was
a shout Alvln Barker, a teller In tho
bank, Jumped from hla automobile and
half carried a veiled lady to the air
ship and lifted her Into the passenger's
seat strapping her In with deft rapid
ity.
"There's your passenger, Ananias,"
he muttered in a choked tone. "Clear
tho way, all of you!" he shouted.
The crowd fell back. Ananias
Jumped nimbly tiito the pilot's seat,
was strapped In, Barker whirled the
propeller, the engine started, stopped,
started again, and tho ungainly bird
teetered over the ground on its land
ing wheels.
It mounted a rise, then lifted and
rose obliquely toward the pale moon.
From the pilot's seat leaned a gnome
llko figure, Ananias Sllne.
In tho passenger's seat, stiffly erect
sat the passenger, tho veiled lady.
On the ground two other veiled la
dles stood shoulder to shoulder and
gazed upward after tho vanishing Ana
nias.
For the moment a common grievance
declared a truce between them.
"Who was she?" rumbled Em Bevis
In her deep tones.
The Widow Bowell cleared her voice
of emotion.
"It looked like that Underwood girl
from Snarling Hollow," she muttered.
The shout of applause which had
arisen when Ananias Sllne sailed away
died down as the airship became a
dark speck against the moon's face.
Silence fell upon Terry's field—si
lence which was broken by confused
shouts.
We turned hastily to discover Hay
wood Drayton's big motorcar plung
ing across the grassy field. Haywood
Drayton was president of the Quince
Harbor bank.
Mr. Drayton Jumped from his motor
car, followed by the Imposing form of
Constable Lee.
Alvln Barker was eliding toward his
own little runabout when the big con
stable's hand fell upon his arm.
"I guess you'll have to come along
with me, Alvin," he said good natu red
ly, and as the teller struggled to free
himself the o(Beer's hand tightened Its
hold.
"Be a good boy, Alvln," he coaxed.
"You can't rob the bank without be
ing punished for it, you know!"
"It was Ananias," quavered the teller
desperately.
"Ananias Is an accessory; don't for
get that We must get him," put in
Haywood Drayton.
"He's got a lady with him!" some
one said, and the constable laughed.
"A nice lady—deaf, dumb and blind,"
he explained between chuckles—"n
wax figger from Em Bevls' show win
dow, her holler form filled with pack
ages of greenbacks from the bank. Oh,
Ananias is eloping with an heiress, all
right!"
Em Bevls and Hetty Rowell ex
changed glances of dismay.
"Look!" screamed some one. "He Is
coming back!"
We gazed up at the pale star strewn
sky.
Out of the silence came the throb of
the airship's engine, and the huge
wings were directly over Terry's field.
Down swooped Ananias Sline's air
ship until it was 200 feet above us.
For a moment it hovered, rocking vio
lently.
Then some one screamed in horror,
for a dark object was falling from the
airship—a human form.
A shuddering cry went up as the
veiled passenger struck the ground and
was stllL
Some one remembered what the con
stable had said about the wax figure
in Em Bevls' show window.
"Let's see!" he shouted, and ran for
ward.
Sure enough, the poor veiled lady
was the familiar figure we had often
seen In Mrs. Bevls' window. But her
waxen head was smashed to atoms,
and her broken form revealed rolls and
wads of newspapers—that was all.
Cunning Alvln Barker had tempted
Ananias to run away with the stolen
money, while all the time he had hid
den the money in a safe place and had
stuffed the dummy passenger with pa
per.
Ananias, conscience stricken—per
haps fear stricken, who knows7—had
repented and returned to drop the lady
and the loot upon Terry's field. Ho
might have made his escape in the
Hawk had not something happened to
the engine.
So the Hawk came flopping to earth,
and Ananias crept out of the ruins and
sought Constable Lee to give him
self up.
An hour afterward two veiled ladles
appeared In the constable's office. One
was Em Bevis, and the other was Het
ty RowelL They came to proffer bail
for the aviator's releasa
"Cap'n Fish bailed him out an hour
ago," explained Lee. "I don't reckon
wa can do much agin a man's running
off with wads of newspaper—unless,"
he added hopefully, "you want to make
a charge against him for stealing your
wax flgger, Em!"
Em Bevls looked thoughtful.
«'Xwan't my flgger, Jim," she said
at last "I gave It to Ananias, didn't
I, Hetty 7'
Hetty Rowell nodded emphatically.
'Of course she did!"
"Then there ain't any case against
him," declared Jim Lee.
"When I told Ananias SHne of this
noble deed on tho part of Em Bevls
his bulbous blue eyes filled with emo
tional tears. I had not believed he
could weep any more than a fish could
shed tears.
"Miss Telham," sniffed Ananias,
"that's why I can't make up my mind
to marry either one of them noble wim
men. It's because I don't feel I'm
good enough for 'em.*'
