"Reckon you won't need 'em for a few days," the mote evil-faced man of the two assured her ominously. "Aint much further. There's our bird fight over there." He pointed to where a giant pair of wings hugxed the ground. "Guess we oughta have give you a pair of sensible shoes out of that bag of yours that my pardner is lugging for you." "My bag!" Vee-Vee echoed in in- tense surprise. "Do you mean that vou have some of my clothes in that bag?" "Sure, lady," the moon-faced man chuckled, : A "How did you get my things? Did you break into my room?" "Oh, that was easy," the moon-faced man assured her. "Just had to give the houseman on your floor at the hotel a fat tip to turn the trick for us. Hope he picked out the things vou like best, but we can't guarantee that," "Don't talk so much," the other man snapped, "Here's a heavy coat for you, miss, May be a bit big, It's an overcoat of mine, But it will keep vou warm, You can tie your head up in a corner of that shawl-thing of 'yours, Hope this old flying flivver don't cut up no pranks tonight," he added apprehensively to his partner in crime, "Sorry it ain't a real up-to-date air buggy, miss," the moon-faced man chuckled, "But there's plenty of room for three, if you don't mind a bit of squeezing, And thege's gas enough to keep us in the air the rest of the night. Hop in, miss, and let me strap | vou in," he added, after Vee-Vee had slipped her arms into an enormous long, rough-textured overcoat and had obedi- ently wound a corner of her shawl tightly about her head. "I must say you're a good sport, miss, Most flap- pers woulda been yelling their heads off or trying to claw our eyes out," Vee-Vee laughed, a little thrill of excitement quickening her nerves, as she allowed herself to he helped into the rear seat of the airplane, The moon-faced man took his place beside her, and buckled the hroad leather strap that was to hold her securely, The girl shivered and clenched her hands in the big pockets of the over- coat as the mechanical bird taxied bumpily across the field, then began to rise almost imperceptibly on a long slant, "Oh!" Vee-Vee gasped, her hands flying out of the pockets of her coat and clasping her stomach involun- tarily, for the ground seemed to he clutching at her, straining to keep her, After a long time, during which she had hung, entirely unafraid now, over the edge of her seat, secure in the protection of the leather strap that girdled her waist, watching with su- preme satisfaction and wonder the landscape flying past her, she turned to the moon-faced man and smiled joyously, She saw that he was talking, through a speaking tube, with the evil-faced one in the pilot's seat, hut she could not distinguish a word. But it did not matter.

ANIL she was having the supreme rience of her life. n a thought that had been trying for many minutes to get her attention forced its way through her childish sure in flying. Jerry Macklyn had said he would come to her assistance in an airplane, if neces- sary. Why ha she realized before that in all probability Jerry had done this for her, had in some uncanny fash- ion, learned of the predicament she was in and had devised this bizarre method of escape for her? At her journey's end she would find Jerry waiting for her, his incredibly blue eyes blazing with triumph and wicked delight in his own cunning. It was like Jerry to plan a spectacular rescue like this. He was such a boy, for all his cleverness. "He Probab hasn't given a thought to the hullabaloo that will be raised at the hotel when the abduction is dis- covered," she smiled to herself, But she would not worry about that now, could not picture the end of the adventure, "Dear Jerry!" she mur- mured, and the wind seemed to laugh at her as it thrust the words down her throat, straight to her heart. After a long time--she had no idea how long it really was--she grew drowsy with the rush of wind in her face and the throb of the airship jog- ging her body as soothingly and reg- ularly as a mother jogs her baby's cradle. She was almost asleep when the moon-faced man nudged her elbow and pointed downward, Vee-Vee nod- ded and smiled, then looked down, too, A town was gliding past, far below. She wondered idly what its name might be, but it did not seem to matter much. As she leaned over, watching drowsily, she could make out a narrow ribbon of water, with tiny lights studding it at frequent intervals, like diamonds in a necklace. She realized, after a mo- ment's bewilderment, that she was gazing upon the lordly Hudson, re- duced almost to nothingness by the magic of a changed viewpoint, The pilot seemed to he steering his course hy the river, however, and she con- that the plane was to New York -- and cluded sleepily hurrying her Jerry, Occasionally the airship dipped sharply, descending several hundred feet in a few seconds, and every time it did so her stomach felt as if it were being pulled from her body, by the clutching hands of a thousand ma- fitious devils. Sometimes there came a sensation of bumping, as if the ship had struck its nose against invisible obstacles. She did not know she had been asleep until the moon-faced man's hand jogged her elbow again, He was stretching and yawning as if he, too, had snatched a nap. She was a little resentful of having been disturbed until she felt the plane dropping like a shot bird. She clung to the rounded edge of her seat and looked down fear- fully. The ground was rising up to meet them, rising so rapidly that her heart stuck in her throat. Then, as suddenly as the descent had begun, the plane was throbbing peacefully again, and she knew that it was go- mg steadily forward, though there was no sensation of progress. In a few seconds the pilot was heading the plane toward earth in a long, slanting sweep. and she knew that he was in control of the plane and was maneuvering for a landing. The terrific noise of the engine stopped suddenly, and the absence of sound was so acute that it eardrums, Before she could accus- tom herself to the quiet, the plane had hit the earth, was taxing along a level stretch of meadow, "Well, here we are! Have a nice ride?" The moon-faced man was grinning at her as he leaned over her to unbuckle the strap. "I loved it!" Vee-Vee laughed shakily, the sound of her voice odd in her ears, assaulted as they had heen by hours of thunderous noise. "Oh, I'm stiff!" she wailed, as she crawled out of her seat, assisted by the moon- faced kidnaper. The pilot, who had hopped out of his machine, came toward them over the dew-wet grass of the meadow, pushing bis goggles high on his fore- ad. "Nearly daylight," he said, stretching his arms above his head and stamping his feet to restore circulation. "God! I'm tired. How far is it from here, do you think? [I hope we landed in the right meadow. All these hills look alike from the sky." "This is the landing place we'd picked out, all right," the moon-faced man assured him. "Cant lose me, even in an airplane at might. - About a mile from here, I reckon. Sorry, miss, but you've got another walk ahead of you. We don't dare take the plane too close to the shack. Want to change your shoes?" "No, thanks. I can make it," Vee- Vee shivered with cold and a return "Where are you taking ? What shack do you mean?" "You'd be surprised," the moon-faced man laughed good-naturedly. "But you're gong to have company when you get there. 's a prince-- anyway, we got his word for it that he is! All I hope is a prince knows how to make a good cup of coffee. [ <onla do with a bit of breakfast my- AAD BE ADDESS Pd dd 2osss hurt her | .

Prominent members of the Legion, as well as Sir Arthur Cur- fe, were among those who addressed the veterans. During the evening HOW TO SELECT AN AUTUMN HAT One should never buy merely a pretty hat. Your hat should be be- coming to you, in size, style and color. It must also go well with your gowns and be appropriate to the occasions on which you will wear it. Small, tight-fitting hats are in style this season, with a few large hats al- ways in the market. Select your hat before a full-lengsh mirror, for it should harmonize with your figure as if it were a part of you. A short and dumpy person will not look well with a broad rimmed, flat and dumpy hat. Such a person needs height and will r taller in a small, hight hat. fault of the common hat is to be over-ornamented. Simplicity lends distinction to the costume. [It is more chic and elegant to have a very plain hat, of good lines. . The color of the hat should harmon- ize with shoes, hose, gloves, purse, scarf or other accessories. . Silk is an all-year-round material for hats and is economical in that it does not demand a new hat for each season.

(From the Canadian Baptist) For sheer impudence a notice in a re- cent issue of a Baptist paper published in the United States, beats all records, It is not in any obscure periodical either; it finds a place in the official organ of a great section of the church- es of that republic, Just read this, ye preachers, and prepare to move to this new gold cen- tre: "The church at - , is in need of a pastor, It pays from $600 to $800 a year salary, has a good parsonage, an acre of land with room for 100 hens and a garden, It is located in the fine country district, The church wants a mamn with a small family." Well, what do you think of that? That church doesn't want a preacher, but it needs one about as badly as do the dark-skinned gentlemen of Africa and the Orient. It must find some man with a humming bird appetite and a small family consisting of him- self alone, if that vacancy is ever to be filled. And it is pretty certain that though the bids for applicants mention a salary somewhere between $600 and $800, the church that will make an of- fer like that will whittle it down to the six hundred mark---and probably keep back a couple of hundred in ar- rears. Of course he will have an acre of land and can keep a hundred hens. He can raise onions and sell them to buy tea and trade in his eggs at the store for a little sugar. Too bad his Jot isn't large enough for him to have a cow and a couple of pigs. Then he would be as independent as Henry Ford, but minus, of course, all money.

Most states say that eighteen years are sufficiently few But Connecticut is experimenting and so far the conclusions all favor the young. Last May that state began to issue automobile licenses to hoys and girls from sixteen to eighteen years of age. After the first three months the Mo- tor Vehicle Department reported that although 5200 juvenile licenses had been issued, no youngster had heen arrested for driving while intoxicated and none had heen involved in a seri- ous accident. Not so much could be said for men of. forty. Young boys were competent enough to handle trucks and ambulances dur- ing the World War and to fly air- planes. Daring plus physical fitness then desired.
