Aeroplanes could land—no, oy see jond thought that was impossible; landing was, she remembered, a delicate business, and undertaken at yight only on properly lit flying- fields, unless a mischance made it necsesary to take a big risk in or- der to avoid a bigger.

Now that she came to remember | it so vividly, the, lights at the wing- tips had gone out very quickly; that meant they had served their purpose; and their purpose had heen | 'simply to identify the machine to! its confederate below. All of wh ch was very pretty reasoning, but s0 far need not bear any relation to hat facts she had. ; Then she found the place where ‘a car—she could not be positive’ (of the tyve-patterns here, but she _thought it was the same—had left the road, and taken to the grass. There was a cart-track here, grassed over, but usable, ; probably much more usable than it Ihaa been before the grass covered | its it had once led dowy to one of; the claypits; but the pit had never been more than-a shallow and broad removal of the turf, and was now green as ever it; had’ been, It lay in a great natural ampht theatve, a perfectly regular oval jn shape, and about yards across at. its broadest. eart-tiack made a lead down into it, andsthat was the only break in a ring of young birch trees which rimmed the top of the slope thickly, hiding kt from anyone who did not actually thread their silvery trunks and look down into the hollow. She found a place in the grassy slide down to it where a more lush growth, fat with milkweed, invaded the grass; and it was easy there to see that something heavy had passed over the trailing stems and crushed them, for they lay flatten- ed and dark against the resilient under-carpet of grass.
