(In a previous adventure Peggy and Billy
Belgium aided In rescuing Miss Purple Swal
low from a tree ;'ungeon In which she al
most perished ar being stolen by Tlue
Jay en her way to be married to General
Swallow)
CHAPTER I.
Peggy Is Summoned to Court.
PRINCESS Peggy, I've come to
take you to court 1"
Peggy looked up from the
book with which she was spending the
hours between supper and bedtime.
Before her stood Purple Martin, look
ig as prim and stern as a policeman.
And to make the resemblance to an
officer all the more striking he wore
a tiny white star against his black
feathers and in one claw clutched a
short club,
"W-w-why," stammered Peggy, tak
en by surprise , "have I been ar
rested?" "Not yet, but you will be if you
don't obey the summons of Judge
Owl and come along with me
promptly," responded Purple Martin.
"Wha't have I done?" asked Peggy.
"1 don't remember breaking any
laws."
"It isn't what you have done; it is
what Blue Jay has done " answered
Purple Martin. "His trial for stealing
and nearly killing General Swallow's
bride begins this evening in Birdland.
You are wanted as a witness."
"Oh, that's different!" cried Peg
gy, much relieved. "I'll go with you
at once."
"Judge Owl has sent you fairy
nng grass so you can become bird
size," continued Purple Martin.
Peggy took the blades which he held
out to her and under their spell found
herself made as small as the feath
ered officer, who now looked more
like a policeman than ever.
"Billy Btlgium has fixed up an aerial
chariot tor you," he announced.
"It awaits you at the door." With
that he stalked off ahead of her.
Peggy followed, a little uncertain as
to whether she should feel like a
prisoner being taken to the patrol
wagon or like a Princess being escort
ed to her royal coach. She was a
Princess of Birdland, she reflected,
and Princesses always looked grand
in pictures, even when being carried
to the scaffold by revolutionists. So
she put on just as grand an air as she
could and followed the Bird police
man as though he were really a royal
guard.
Out on the lawn waited Billy Bel
gium's aerial chariot. When Peggy
saw it she was glad she had assumed
a regal attitude, for that just fitted
the wonderful equipage which Officer
Martin invited her to enter, cut at
the same time she couldn't suppress
a squeal of girlish delight because the
chariot was so tairy-like and beauti
ful. The body was of woven grasses, low
in front, but built up in the rear in
the form of a throne with a light
canopy above. It had no wheels. In
their place were carrying rods extend

ing out from the sides of the body. To
these rods were fastened ribbon
streamers, two to each,vand to the
ends of the streamers were harnessed
eight Scarlet Tanagers. They carried
the weight of the chariot as it jour
neyed through the air,
Harnessed to the front of the char
iot in circus style were twelve Blue
birds. At either side, as a guard of
honor, were thirty Yellow Warblers
while outside, of this escort was the
fighting guard, a company of .King
birds. ,
Officer Martin stood back and four
sparjcling Humming Birds, acting as
pages, led Peggy to the chariot and
seated her on the throne. Then the
Hummine Birds took up their sta
tions at the four corners of the chac
lot.
Officer Martin twittered an order,
there was a fluttering of wings and
the chariot rose gently into the air.
Evidently the Birds had been carefully
trained, for they flew together splen
didly, not even tipping or jarring the
throne. The Scrlet Tanagers lifted
the chariot well above the roofs of the
city; then the Blue Birds tugged at
their harness and away they sailed
for Birdland. And as they floated
along the Birds warbled and sang in
a melodious chorus.
Peggy thrilled with delight. It had
been wonderful to rush through the
clouds in her airplane and it had been
rare fun riding on the backs of her
Swallow horses, but this royal aerial
outfit was something entirely differ
ent. It held joys all its own. It
made her feel a real Princess, travel
ing in state.
The Blue Birds did not fly very
high nor very fast. Their pace was
dignified and careful, which struck
Peggy as being just right for the oc
casion. She sat back on the throne
and enoyed herself looking at the
ground unrolling beneath, admiring

Birds attending her, drinkjng in a

PREACHERS DRIVE
MOTORSAT FRONT
Men 60 Overseas to Evangelize
and They Are Put to
Work on First
Needed Duty.
Camp Funston, Kan., July 23.
Versatility is a desired qualification
for men selected by the YjM. C. A.
for overseas service, but first of all
comes that particular characteristic
of being friendly, of gaining the good
will of a man, regardless of whether
he has a spark of religion in his own
makeup. This fact is aptly illustrated
in a letter to L. A. McCormack, gen
eral secretary of tht. i. M. C. A.,
written by CWrerice Budington Kel
land,( a well known Detroit author of
short stories, who is now on special
Y. M. C. A. mission with Pershing's
army. 0
"Hundreds of men are landing here
monthly to take up some Service un
der the red triangle," writes Kelland.
"They, are' all sorts and from all en
vironments. It approaches the mar
velous how they are made to fit.
Preachers have arrived here with
the ardor to evangelize. They find
their true service can best be done
driving a motor truck. Bankers come
and find that they can do the best
job getting up entertainments in some
lonely 'hut' One rich and useless
bachelor struck these shores filled
with a desire to do something, but
alarmed at his poverty of abilities.
'"Can you preach?' he was asked
"'No.'
"'Can you sing?'
" 'No.'-
"'Can you run a motor car?'
" 'No.'
"What can you do?'
" 'Nothing that I know of. I'm
just one of the idle rich.'-
" 'Go out and fuss around a f ew-j
days with the soldiers and then come
back,' he was told.
"That night he metnp with a ser
geant who was in Phs to see the
town and who had started to view
the sights through the bottom of a
glass. The member of the idle rich
inveigled him into a conversation,
furnished him with cigaretts and a
light. Pretty soon by sheer person
ality he persuaded the man to no to
bed without finishing off his evening
artistically. In the morning the man
came around and cornered the idle
rich man.
" 'Bo,' said he, 'you did me a favor
last evening. 1 was, bound for a trip
to In Bad. Any time you want any
thing of me, just drop around.'
"The idle rich man made tracks for
headquarters. ,
'"Go to it,' weje the orders and he
went to it. Now he is somewhere
recuperating because he wore himself
out working for h boys. And the
story goe3, that until the regiment
was assured he would be sent back
to them there was excitement and
high talk. They just naturally weren't
going to go off without their pal. He
is the sort who represent the thing
the American army is demanding of
the Y. M. C. A."

Presently she became aware of a
Peculiar black smudge off at one side,
t wasn't a cloud, it wasn't smoke and
itwas coming along very swiftly with
an odd undulating sort of a move
ment. The Birds were so happy in
their singing and in their service to
Peggy that they did not see it. Peggy
shouted a warning.
"What's that coming out of the
north?" she cried. Officer Martin
looked atid then screeched ajn order
for greater speed.
"It's a flock of crows," " he called
to Peggy.
Peggy knew that the Crows were
enemies of the smaller Birds. Coming
upon her slowly moving train in over
whelming numbers they might attack
it Could she and theN Birds escape?
Looking down Peggy saw that they
were over a lake. The Birdland forest
lay beyond.. Before they could reach
the shelter of the woods the Crows
would be upon them. What would
happen if they were attacked? Would
the Blue Birds free themselves from
their harness and seek to escape?
Would the Scarlet Tanagers drop the
chariot and let her go plunging down
into the lake? Already the Yellow
warblers were showing signs of nerv
ousness, although they did not break
their formation. The King Birds, re
puted fighters, gathered close to the
chariot and then, much to her sur
prise, seemed to hide themselves
beneath it.
The Crows swept rapidly towards
them, the clamor of their loud caws
adding to the fear caused by their tre
mendous numbers. Peggy felt that
escape by flight was impossible. The
Crows had seen them and were rush
ing to envelop them.

?ghtlng guard meets the attack of lh
Crows.)
SNIPING REDUCED
TO A REAL SCIENCE
Other Branches of the Service
Are Called Upor,. to
Help the In
fantry.
Correspondence of Associated Press
Behind British Lines in France,
June 20. Sniping and counter snip
ing has been reduced to a fine
art in modern warfare, and the
sharpshooter uses many other
branches of the service to assist him.
An incident which occurred a few
days ago in the British lines in Flan
ders shows how a little artillery work
is sometimes necessary in bringing
about the undoing of the German
snipers.
Lieutenant Jackson, battalion snip
ing officer, was walking down the
trench when he heard a sudden rattle
of musketry German bullets strik
ing one of the British sniping plates
One of his sniping posts was being
battered by German afmor-iiercing
bullets.
The officer hurried to the scene and
with his periscope located the pot
where the Germans were firing. Ht
was a big post on some ground be
hind the' enemy firing line, hidden
with earth and looking exactly like
any bne of the other tangled hui.i
mocks with which shells and mines
had .strewn the vicinity. But his
trained eye quickly marked out fout
small apertures which he knew to
be loopholes. The excellence of the
periscope even enabled him to se
the puffs of unburned powder which
came from the four hostile rifles at
every shot.
"They are behind concrete and
steel under that surface inud, sir,"
said the sergeant It won t be easy
dealing with them."
It a a case tor the heavy artillery,
I'm afraid," murmured Lieutenant
Jackson regretfully: he disliked calling
in any outside assistance for his
snipers.
I saw the major of that heavy
battery which covrs us, going by a
moment ago," suggested the sergeant.
Lieutenant Jackson hurried off
down the trench and found the major
who was up on a survey of the enemy
line for special targets. A hint of
what had developed brought the ma
jor back, and a minute later he was
in the nearest signal dugout, telephon
ing" instructions to his battery.
Meanwhile Lieutenant Jackson
beckoned the sergeant away out of the
major's hearing. "Put Haggarty and
Brown into post 9, sergeant," he
ordered. "I don't think the Germans
have any day communication into that
post of thefrs, and they will have to
bolt for cover over the ridge."
Presently the first heavy projectile
came rumbling up from the rear. It
burst 50 yards wide in a great splash
of earth. The second shell burst in
the German firing line, right in front
of the sniping post, and tore a huge
gap in the parapet. The third fell
right on top of the post itself. But
the concrete of the structure was
strong, and the shell actually
ricocheted clear' and burst several
yards away.
"That has frightened them," ex
claimed the major suddenly, as four
figures appeared from behind the
sniping post and raced madly for the
crest of the ridge. Just then a shot
rang out from the British trench, and
the first German pitcher) forward on
his face. The second fel) a yard fur
ther on. The remaining two were
dropped as tbey reached the crest,

Federal Rules Governing
' Buying and Handling Hides
J. R. Lindsay, hide and fur dealer,
Council Bluffs and Omaha, has re
ceived federal rules governing the
purchase and storage of hide with
instructions for immediate enforce
ment. They are:
"Butchers and small dealers who
have made a practice of vatting or
salting hides in watertight containers,
must discontinue this practice at once.
Hides must not be purchased when
in this condition. . Hides must be
sSlted, spread out flat -in such condi
tion that all drainage and moisture
will run off. The practice of selling
hides all around at one price, or on a
flat basis, must be discontinued. M
mucs must oe sola on tneir mer
its, that is, No. l's at No. 1 price, No.
2's at No. 2 price, and so on. The
object of these rules andvregulations
is to bring up the standard of ordi
nary butcher hides to the relative
merits of large packer hides. Butchers
are cautioned to use extraordinary
care in skinning animals, as there is
an enormous waste annually In the
poor quality of ordinary butcher hides.
This can easily be remedied'bv bein
more careful in preparing hides for
marKet. At tne present time the gov-
crnmenr aemanas tor good hides are
enormous, and only a small percent
age of butcher hides can be used on
account of the poor takeoff and man
ner in their being prepared for mar
ket The government aims to bring
me sianaara up equal to tne large
packers who realize relatively higher
prices for their hfdes on account of
the careful manner in which they are
prepared for market."

the opportunity of deve'roplng on

The success of the low-flying air
planes is of two kinds, the . slaughter,
they inflict, and secondlyKthe disor
ganization they cause. This second
factor is of more importance than,
most people realize. An unexpected
check of troops on inarch is always
troublesome. Men wonder, what has

When they are seen, with the irresist

The work of the British airmen re- .
ceived a reluctant tribute in a recent
issue of the Berlin Vorwaerta, which,
was captured in a raid oa the Ger
rrlan trenches. The German newspa
per, in an article full of apparently
sincere admiration for, British flyers,
said: "Never before have the English
thrown their airmen in such great
masses behind our front as they are
doing in their present retreat"
But the higher command", of the
British air force is by no means sat
isfied. A high official pointed out
to the Associated Press correspondent
in discussing this phase of air work,
that "never before, was the need ot
the air force for framed men and fin
isned material so urgent as it is to
day." He added: "It" has been said
loosely thaf the allies are masters
of the air and have achieved suprem
acy in flying. But the aerial situation'
is too fluid to justify such words. "At
a cold fact, complete mastery ot the
air could only come if there wero
no German machines able to take tho
air. '. ' ' .:
"What is needed is more machine
and more trained men, and it is tho
people, the men and women of the
allied countries, who in the last analy
sis must give or withhold effectiva
superiority in .the air.'
