The aeroplanes, however, have demonstrated that they can rise higher and much mote rapidly than the balloon type of air craft and for that reason their efficiency in a military sense is regarded as muoh greater. In both speed and duration of flight the strides since 1909 have been remarkable.

With Floyd beside him, Stanton's driving was as daringly brilliant but characterized by some rational consideration of the possibilities of disaster.

Why? No one had time to speculate. It was commencing to trouble Stanton himself, this growing affection for his mechanician that threatened to be-dbme an absorbing need. He had never needed any one, he had been self-sufficient and self-centered; and now he felt a blank chill at the idea of losing the society of this boy-man.
