showing. His skull was fractured
and his neck broken, but he lived 20
minutes. His body was not recov

hours after the accident. ,,
Ralph Miller and Dr. Gamble were
thrown to one side as the plane fell
and rescuers found the former on one
of the wings, with Gamble lying un
derneath it. Dr. Gamble was badly
nattered and at the Framingham
. hospital it was said that he probably
would die. '
Zenos Miller, who was 24, served
during the war in the 27th pursuit
- squadron, United States air forces. In
August, 1918, he was taken prisoner
when his plane fell behind the Ger
man lines, and he remained in a
prison camp until the armistice.
Among the first of the rescuers to
reach the fallen plane was Capt.
Bury Leydon, an aviator at the local
field, who was a fellow prisoner in
Germany with Miller.

ton and the Harvard medical school,
had just completed a course as in

Paris, July 23. August -Busch's
protest to President Harding regard

board passenger vessels interests and
amuses the French press. .
"No passenger is gomg to take anLscent
American line it ne cannot tina any
thing to quench his thirst but ice

paragrapher.
"A transatlantic line on which one
cannot get his little cocktail is a

government will continue to serve
'drinks' on its ships'," comments a
third. "It will thereby justify the
famous maxim: 'Do as I say, but do
not do as I do.'"
Low Wages Cause of Low
. Prices of German Goods
Rerlin, July 23. Though there is
much more unemployment in coun
tries with a favorable exchange, the
market in countries with a low ex
change is only- a seemingly good one.
The German industries, for instance,
sell their goods for comparatively
small prices, the workmen paying
the price for the depreciation of the
mark by getting minimum wages
compared to those of countries with
a favorable exchange.
Strange to say, a sudden rise of
the mark would involve a grave peril
for German economics, as immedi
ately the industries would be un
able to export their wares.

Marriage of

(t'DDtlnord rrota Mtardar.)
It was as if at his touch a veil had
been torn from her eyes, showin
life to her as it had been since
came to Cleave Farm, as it would
be if he went away asain and left
her behind.
Barrv saw the sudden light that
tilled her eyes saw the little tremu
lous smile that curved her lips, and
with sudden impulse he stooped and
kissed her.
Neither of them were very clear
as
to what happened after that
There were many more kisses and in
coherent words; but Barry's arms
were round her now, and her lace
hidden against his coat. She felt as
if some one had pushed her off the
everyday workaday world info a little
heaven which held only herself and
him.
The dusk wrapped them round like
a gray veil. It was so still down
there in the garden. Little stars
peeped shyly out at them from the
sky. somewnere across the tields
sheep bell tinkled musically, and
sleepy bird twittered drowsily from
its nest.
"Do you love me? 35o you love
me? said Barry m a whisper
His head was bent to hers; her
soft hair touched his cheek, and she
answered him tremblingly: Oh,
do :you know I do."
"And you will marry me? When
wilt you marry me?"
. bhe lifted her head then. He
He could see the shv confusion of
her face through the gray evening.
"Oh, but you re in such a hurry,
Her eyes fell before his.
I've loved you ever since that first
merit at the theater, he told her.
He really believed he had. He
was sure that he had never cared for
any woman in all his life as he cared
for this one. He felt most tremen
dously happy.
He had certainly quit forgotten
his uncle and Norman, tor the mo
ment, at least, it was nothing but his
own desire that drove him. He had
wanted this girl, and now she was
his.
He lifted her hand to his lips and
kissed it kissed the smooth, soft
wrist from which the white sleeve
fell away.
He did not understand how much
that first kiss ot his had been
answerable for did not realize that
the charm of liis impetuous love-
making had taken this little girl by
storm and won something deeper
and more lasting than just a passing
fancy.
But Hazel knew, and she wondered
if he guessed that the touch of his
lips had turned the key in the closed
door of her heart. She hid her face
again against his coat, y
It was a wonderful thing how en
tirely hef" feelings Wad changed to
wards him. She had liked him be
fore admired him,too, in an imper
sonaf way, but 'now there was
nothing like him in all the world,
nobody so big, so strong, so tender I
Barry kissed her hair. He was
naturally sentimental, and he believed
that this was Romance with a capital
letter. s
The silence of the country made an
ideal background. There was a faint
of newly-mown hay on the
nieht air. Barry looked up at the i
stars and felt himself a lover indeed. I
. "You are not cross with me any
more?" he asked presently.
"I never was cross with you," he
told him.
She looked at him adoringly with
sweet, shy eyes. '
"And you needn't have been jeal
ousreally," she told him. "I mean
of Norman 1 I never cared for
him at all but he cares for me
poor Norman!" There was a little
note of regret in her voice, and Barry
felt a pang of remorse.
After all. although he was sincere
enough now, he had come to Cleave
Farm with the deliberate intention
of cutting his cousin out. Now he
had kissed Hazel and held her in his
arms he began to feel more sym
pathetic with Norman, He asked a
jealous question: "
He never kissea you, nazci um
he?" .. .
She hesitated. "I nevef kissed
him," she said at last.
He held her at arm's length, xou
mean that he did kiss you," he said,
growlingly. .
He liked to play the jealous lover.
"Did he, Hazel?" he insisted. ;
She kept her face downbent. "Well
l only once when he went' away. 1

at all; that I should hate to have him
kiss me always."
"Really and truly?" v
"Really and truly."
He, drew her closer to him again,
"But you like me to kiss you. You
don't feel like that with me."
He had to stoop to catch her
answer. "I never really knew that I
loved you till you till you kissed
me."
Barry promptly kissed her again.
Mrs Bentley came to the door of
the farmhouse. She called through
the dusk: "Hazel are you there.
Hazel?"

Barry turned her face to his coat
to prevent her answering. "I'm not
going to let you go m tit," he said,
masterfully.
Mrs. Bentley went back to the sit
ting-room: thev could see the sil
houette of her head against the yellow
lamplight, and Joe Daniels, a tall
square figure, in the background
lou wont mind so much now
about London, and Delia?" Barry
asked presently.
"I shan't mind at all," she told him
happily. It was such a much more
wonderful thing to love and be loved
by this man than to rush through
week of gaiety and late nights with
an almost unknown cousin. To
Hazel the last few minutes had en
dowed the country with a new radi
ance and mystery.
"And is Wicklow really coming
down tomorrow? Barry asked pres
ently.
bhe laughed softly. No I only
said it to tease you. He said he
would like to have come, but that his
ankle kept him a prisoner." She
stifled a sigh. "Poor Norman!
wonder what he will say when I tell
him about you?
Barry, too, wondered what he
would say.
"And mother and Uncle Joe."
Hazel went on dreamily. Won t
they be surprised 1"
Barry said yes, he supposed they
would. Your uncle will hate tne
idea of it," he said.
"Poor Uncle Joe."
"Yes. but he can't keep you here
forever.
"I know, but I love him. '
"And me? Where do I come in?
"First first of all," she whispered.
Barry's heart thumped. She was
adorable he loved the shy little
tremble in her voice: loved her
whole-hearted admission of how much
she cared tor him.
"Hazel Hazel!" Mrs. Bentley call
ed again from the doorway.
Hazel raised her head from Barry's
shoulder.
"I must go yes, let me go.
Very well you must kiss me
again first."
their lips met tor a moment, ana
then he released her. it win seem
an eternity till the morning," he told
her.
When she had quite gone he turned
and leaned his arms on the gate,
looking out into the darkness with a
smile on his lips.
He felt a little dazed so much had

not remember ever having telt so

"And now I shall have to tell old

he told himself. "After all, they've
been jolly decent."
He roused himseit wiui a lime

He never felt at his ease with Mr.
Daniels; he had an uncomfortable
conviction that the farmer's keen
blue eyes could see right through him
and read his thoughts.
And his thoughts just then were
a confused tangle.
The farmer broke the silence. I've
told Hazel she can't go to London
with this this new cousin of hers,"
he said slowly.
Barry looked up. "Oh er in

"Yes" the keen blue eyes were
looking at Barry now "I mean to

thing that concerned himself.

here,'' he resumed presently. "And

ideas as to the sort of man she'll
choose for a husband. You under

Barry flushed. "Yes, I understand
quite well what you mean," he said,
clearly.
He knew now what was coming.
He rose to his feet.
The farmer rose, too. His square
built figure threw an enormous
shadow on the low ceiling.
"Well, as long as we understand
one another, that's well," he said,
slowly. "And that being so per-
hanc vnn'll me when vou're

Mr. Ashton.
Barry turned scarlet. For a mo
ment he stood staring at Joe
Daniels' relentless face without
speaking.
The fact that this sour-faced old
man should dislike him so heartily
was a severe blow to his pride.
He drew himself up stiffly. I
shall be returnine to London as soon
as possible in the morning," he said,
curtly. "I very much regret ever
coming here, and can only remind
you that it was at your own sugges

Mr. Daniels did not move. There
is a train tip to London at 9:40," he
said, implacably. "I'll have the trap

But the sun was in his eyes and he

his crafty face.

In a few seconds more he pulled
himself up where he could clinic to
the tree with three, paws and reach
the nest with a fourth. And then.
just at he drew back hit fourth paw
to strike, he knew in a flash that the
thing in the treetop was neither a
crow's nest nor a tquirrel's. It
wasn't a nest at all. It wat to dif
fcrent from a nest that Cuffv Bear
gave a roar of anger. For Tommy
Fox had played a trick on him.
He had just missed getting his paw
full of a porcupines quills. And
such an accident wat no joke. .

branches, Mr. Porcupine wat havijig

enough to know that he was safer

"What's the matter?" Tommy Fox

"No, I don't," Cufy answered.
"Then knock it down for me,
please," Tommy begged him.
"No, I won't Cuffy growled. "This

And I believe you knew it all the

Tommy Fox appeared to be
greatly surprised. And he acted hurt
by Cuffy's rude remarks.
"I tried to- help you to a hearty
meal." he whined. "And a scolding
is all the thanks I get."
"Wait for me." Cuffy grunted as
he began to clamber down out of
the hie hemlock. "When I reach the
ground I'll give you something else."
Whatever it was that he had in
mind, Tommy Fox didnt wait for
it. He let out one short, sharp bark,
which might have meant almost any
thing. And then he bounded away
through the forest.
It was lucky for me that 1
smelled that Porcupine in time, '
Cuffy muttered. "There's something
about a Porcupine that I'll never

more than I like Foxes," he added,
as he started for home.
