Somehow the young aviator felt his heart warm to the man of whom he had heard so much, but had never before seen. The old gentleman's eyes rested on him in a kindly earnest way that made Dave feel less lonely in the world. Briefly Mr. King told of the chase he had made to locate Mr. Dale. "I've got a long story to tell," said the aviator, when he could get a chance to talk. He turned to Mr. Dale.
Most people seem to have the impression that it is as easy for an aviator to see what is happening on the ground beneath him as though he were looking down from the roof of a high building.
The boys rushed toward it with reproaches on their lips, but their wrath was lost in astonishment when they recognized, in the aviator who stepped forth, Dick Lever, one of the most daring of the American "aces" and a warm personal friend of theirs.
This is accomplished by means of a sprocket chain gear and a crank connected to the engine shaft. The turning handle is within reach of the aviator. But Mr. Vardon, and Dick, working together, had evolved something better than this.
All the panorama of action was beneath them; they alone could really "see" the battle if they chose. But each aviator stole only passing glimpses of the whole, for each one was intent on his part, which was to keep watch of whether the shells of the battery to which he reported were on the target or not.
"That is, if you wish me to tell it," he added. "Certainly," was the ready reply. "You can probably tell it better than I can."

His final exploit was taking the place of an aviator who had fainted away in his monoplane, and winning the race for Mr. King's machine. Dave was now the proud possessor of a pilot's license, and had fairly entered the professional field. The thief who had stolen Mr.

In fact everything aboard the Abaris was most up-to-date, and it was on this that Dick counted in winning the big prize. "Well, I guess everything is as ready as it ever will be," remarked the young millionaire, as he and the aviator made a final inspection of the craft.
They were crossing the hall, and had a sort of privacy for an instant. "Dear me," she returned, "you do move rather rapidly, don't you?" "I'm an aviator, you see," he answered. Across the table Christine was trying to be gracious and graceful while she put up with Hickson, but she was feeling as any honest captain feels at having a prize cut out from under his very nose.

Mr. Vardon depended on the gyroscope to perform a like service for the airship, and to do it automatically. The aviator waited a few moments before giving the order to make the sudden rush.
