Ananias Sline's
Airship
Story of a Troubled
Conscience.
By CLARISSA MACKSE
The very day I arrived at Quince
Harbor I met the Widow Howell. She
was emerging from Em Bevls' depart
ment store, and on her comely face
was a batHed look.
"It has something to do with Ananias
Sline," was my first thought, for these
two Interesting widows, Em Bevls and
Hetty Howell, wero boldly contesting
for the heart and hand of Ananias
Sllne, one time mate of the good ship
Indus and now porter In the Quince
Harbor bank.
"Good morning. Miss Telham," she
gave greeting. "How's Maria's rheu
matism?"
"Much better than it was. And how
are you?"
The little widow cast a baleful back
ward glancc at the department store,
where I distinctly saw Em Bevls'
sleekly poinpadoured 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 bad "oeen 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
ell," 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 I remembered that I had
an errand at Em Bevls' store, and as
I mounted the steps the door flew open
and Mrs. Bevls' ample form was bow
ing me Inside, and her heavy features
relaxed in a generous smile of wel
come.
"You heard about Mr. Sline's air
ship?" she asked suddenly.
"Yes. He makes a trial flight to
day," I repeated quickly, for I was
mindful of Hetty Itowell's secret lock
ed In my breast
She glanced toward her two clerks,
young girls, bright eyed and rosy
cheeked, who wero exchanging wit
ticisms with the stage driver, who had
just delivered an express package.
"He's going to take a passenger,"
whispered tho Widow Bevis.
"Who? Ned Roberts?" I glanced at
tho lanky stage driver.
"No; Ananias SUne!"
"Oh, a passenger in the airship?" So
Hetty's secret was no secret after all.
She nodded.
"It's a secret. Ferhaps you can
guess." She smiled archly.
"You?" I weakly asked.
"Yes. Don't tell a soul," she caution
ed, although I am sure she hoped I
would confide the news to netty Row
ell.
i spent me siutuwu un iuc l>«,>
with Captain Barnabas and his wife,
Maria. As we tied up at the little
landing below the Fish cottage the cap
tain cast a glance at the wind signal.
"Not a puff!" he ejaculated. "There
Isn't a mortal reason why Ananias
can't make that flight tonight."
"Bright moonlight, too," added Ma
ria. "Ilurry 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 in Ananias.
When we reached Terry's ten acre
field the 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 Sline's airship.
We approached the awkward looking
object and found Ananias himself,
looking absurdly small in a leather
aviation suit and helmet He looked
like a brown gnome.
He greeted us with his accustomed
dignity, but even while he explained
the mysteries of the Hawk, as he had
named it, his cold blue eyes were
searching the arriving crowds.
"Ho Is looking for Hetty, or is It
Em Bevis?" I thought, wondering how
this latest scheme of Mr. Sline's would
work out Would he have one passen
ger or two?
A Jiand plucked at my sleeve. It
was Hetty Rowell, 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 Bevls,
as strangely attired as her rival, stood
there, her eyes gleaming with resolu
tion. She pushed past me and strode
toward Ananias awl tho Widow Row
elL
Before she reached them there was |
a shout. Alvin Barker, a teller In tho
bank, jumped from his 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
the way, all of you!" he shouted.
The crowd fell back. Ananias
Jumped nimbly li.»o the pilot's seat,
was strapped in, Barker whirled tho
propeller, the eugine started, stopped,
started again, and the 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
like figure, Ananlns Sline.
In the 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 Bevls
in her deep tones.
jLue iv luuw nowcu cicuruu uei iuiiu
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, naywood
Drayton was president of the Quince
Harbor bank.
Mr. Drayton jumped from his motor
car, followed by the lmi>oslng form of
Constable Lee.
Alvln Barker was sliding toward his
own little runabout when the big con
stable's hand fell upon his arm.
"I guess you'll hare to come along
with me, Alvln," he said good natured
ly, and ns the teller struggled to free
himself the officer's hand tightened its
hold.
"Be a good boy, Alvin," 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—"a
wax figger from Em Bevis' 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 Bevis and Hetty Howell 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 Sllne'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 frilling from the
airship—a human form.
A shuddering cry went up as the
veiled passenger struck the ground and
was still, v
Some one remembered what the con
stable had said about the wax figure
In Em Bevis' show window.
"Let's see!" he shouted, and ran for
ward.

was the familiar figure we had often
seen in Mrs. Iiovis' window. But her
waxeu head was smashed to atoms,
and her broken form revealed rolls and
wads of newspapers—that was all.
Cunning Alvin Barker had tempted
Ananias to run away with the stoieu
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 knows?—had
repeuted and returned to drop the lady
and the loot upon Terry's field. lie
might have made his escape In the
Ilawk 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 release.
"Cap'n Pish balled him out an hour
ago," explained Lee. "I don't reckon
we 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 Bevis looked thoughtful.
•• 'Twan't my tigger, Jim," she said
at last "I gave it to Ananias, didn't
I, Hetty?"
Hetty Rowell nodded emphatically.
'Of course she did!"
"Then there ain't any case against
him," declared Jim Lee.
When I told Ananias Sline of this
noble deed on the part of Em Bevis
his bulbous blue eyes filled with emo
tional tears. I had not believed ho
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 wlm
men. It's because I don't feel I'm
good enough for 'em."
And I almost believed him!
PHILIPPINE MARKETS
FOR AMERICAN LUMBER
Washlntou, D. C., July 12—The
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
commerce hits issued a short mono
graph on "Philippine Markets for
American Lumber," by Commercial
Agent Franklin H. Smith, who is
investigating the lumber trade in
the Far East. The Philippine mar
kat, so far as imports are concerned,
is dominated by American lumber.
The islands provided a market for
more than $500,000 worth of for
est oroducts in the 12 months end
ed'June 30, 1914, and practically
the e.itir^ quantity represented by
these figures was shippd from tlio
Douglas fir mills of Washington
and Oregon and the redwood mills
of'California.
Sir. Smith found, however, a
sharp competition by nativo woods,
and it is h.is opinion that this
will inevitably become keener. Bach
succeeding year, he thinks, will
witness an increasing cut of Philip
pine woods. The conclusion reached
is that the prospective demand for
American lumber in the Philippines
is not narticularly encouraging.
