indeed would be the school master who would punish boys for being tardy because they stopped on their way to class to save a dogs life it is not surprising therefore that the boys were commended by

with discouraged eyes at the ancient black dress she hod spread across her kneei the breadths of the skirt after a lo g united existence had parted of one accord nothing remained but the bit of real lace in the neck to tell of past splendors i cant ever weir it to church again she murmured and her face wore an expression of despair to martha church was as much a habit as brushing her hair or wash ing her face yet she might just as well wish for an automobile as the price of a new gown the clock on the mantel struck five martha lifted her eyes and looked down the darkening road here and there on the hills a farm house dotted the landscape not far away rose the spire of the littxr church suddenly she uttered an exclamation from out of the sky as it seemed to her with a noise like the discharge of fireworks a huge airplane was wending its way downwards after a series of cir cles like a bird with enormous wings it landed almost at her very door to say that martha was startled would have been putting it mildly never m all the fiftyodd years of her existence had she experienced such a shock the old silk dress slipped from her lap unnoticed as she rose hurriedly and crossed the kitchen to the door by the time her trembling fingers had opened it the great birdlike thmghay quiet a curious looking figure had jumped lightly to the ground martha felt a momentary inclination to stam the door and shut out such en apparition but innate hospital lty won the approaching figure had by this time removed a pair of goggles and unfastened the side taps of his helmet displaying a most re assuring bronzed young face and eyes blue as the sky from which he seemed to have come hope i haven t frightened you half to death he said a pleas ant smile displaying the whitest teeth i heard you coming you wouldn t had to knock martha answered she was recovering somewhat from her nervousness i never seen one of them things be fore only in pictures goodness i should think they d scare the

and butter would be plenty i d like to tinker on trie old plane a little before it really gets dark but i wouldnt want to put you out any he added martha nodded this was the biggest adventure she ever hoped to experience in her life you get your tinkering done it s getting dark fast she answered and i 11 get supper that was a memorable evening for martha the young aviator told her of adventures above the clouds in distant countries during the war that fairly exhausted the strength of her imagination everything else was forgotten the old silk dress remained a crumpled heap on the floor it might have remained there until the next morning had her com pany not gone to the window for one last look at his airplane there was a sound of ripping as his shoe caught in the folds he stooped quickly and picked it up oh he exclaimed just look what i ve done now my goodness said martha shamefacedly if my old dress hasnt been lying there ever since you came i was seeing if i couldnt mend it once more for church well i ve finished it sure enough with that great foot of mine i m awfully sorry in jhe bright sunshine of the fol lowing morning martha said good by to her unexpected guest don t

doughnuts guess you don t get me off terra cotta ejaculated martha shaking her head energetically but 111 be watching the sky every day when spring comes for you and your bride a few moments later and her company had made a noisy fare well nothing could be seen but a mere speck in the distance there were tears in marthas eyes as she watched out the window wistfully then for the first time she saw a white envelope tying on top of the old silk dress she opened it hastily two slips of paper fell out on one was writ ten dear aunt martha the enclosed is for a new sundaygotomeeting dress ill 4ring s
