"I know that automobile," suddenly cried Harry, "it's Luther Barr's." "So it is." "And," shouted Harry, bringing his glasses to bear on the car, "the man with the rifle is that sneak Sanborn." Before Frank could reply another bullet sang by them. This one ripped a hole in the upper plane, but fortunately a hole of such size did not affect the machine.
That is all the matter with her." This was the last effort Aunt Agnes made to alter my resolution, but she saw fit to tell Aunt Helen of my escapade at Mr. Barr's studio, who came to me in horror. Her predictions were about to be realized, she said. Notwithstanding all her warnings, my name was associated with a vulgar adventurer.
"Those boats are from Barr's yacht," cried Frank. "So they are," cried M. Desplaines, "and from some of these men perhaps we shall be able to hear what has happened." It was an easy matter to get the story from the crew. The only trouble was they all wanted to talk at once. Bit by bit, however, the boys got the story and learned that the Brigand was sinking with a big hole in her bottom.
"Don't utter a word," he whispered, "Luther Barr's air-ship is here." From the spot in which they crouched, keeping as closely in the shadow of the stout mast as they were able, the adventurers could hear distinctly the conversation of the men in the dirigible. "This must be the galleon," Frank heard a voice he recognized as Sanborn's saying, "it's lucky we decided to keep on."
In this part of Luther Barr's dirigible were placed the steering wheel, engine controls and wind and weather gauges. Large portholes, that could be opened if required, gave a view out on every side, and through two affixed at the rear of the pilot-house, which was raised about three feet above the cabin roof, it was possible to command a view of the stern of the ship.
"That doesn't cut so much figure if you have a powerful enough engine to overcome it," was the reply; "some European dirigibles, bigger than Luther Barr's, have made eighty and even ninety miles." "Well, we wouldn't stand much chance with an affair like that and that's a fact," commented Harry. "We can only hope things won't come to such a pass," said Frank.
On the other hand, the same girls have equally little idea of what they have a right to expect of marriage for themselves. Much of the necessary adjustment is left to chance. Barr's home interests were the inspiration for it. Thrown on her own resources by the death of her husband, who sacrificed himself in a yellow fever epidemic in Texas, Mrs.
Every day, now, some one of the party took turns with the glasses under a small shelter erected with canvas and oars in the bow of the boat, and painstakingly scanned the horizon all about for any sight of the Brigand or Luther Barr's dirigible.
Marsh can afford to disregard the ill-natured sneers of those who may have enjoyed greater advantages in early life than she. It is not by wholesale abuse of others, Virginia, that you will persuade me of your innocence. On your own showing, you have written to Mr. Spence, and misconstrued Mr. Barr's poetic impetuosity as an attempt to flirt with you. I do not desire to discuss the matter further.
He had heard from loungers about the grounds of the plight of aged Eben Joyce as he returned from his ride in Luther Barr's car. He was somewhat perturbed as he entered the shed for fear that he would have to face the inventor, fresh as he was from an interview with the man that had practically robbed the aerial genius of his life-work.
