It is <ome- thing Australian Mrs. -Charles Walton has had te resort. to in order to help a friend whose sheep farm has been the object of attacks by wedge-tail eagles. ' Before her marriage Mrs. Wal- ton was Nancy Bird, one of Aus. tralia"s most distinguished wo man pilots. Recently she was staying at a 55,000-acre sheep farm at Ennis Downs, 900 miles north-west of Brisbane. Her hostess was bemoaning ~the toss-of her sheep, so Nancy decided on an unusual course. of action, She made openings in the sidé of her plane, so that she could fire shots through it, took to the air, and in her first outing "bagged" four eagles. Now owners of other home- steads have taken up the idea, Seven light aircraft are now op- station-owners ~ and area, which now has four air- strips, a service "station, fulltime aeronautical engineer. woman pilot | and a. k Needed Stimulant A familiar character on Wall Street some years ago was- a colorful = broker named Pop Schwed. Pop loved nothing bet- ter than to reel off aprocryphal tales of 'his youth in. the wide: open town of Goldfield, Nevada jjust after the turn of the cen. tury. There was one hellion there; he recalled, who went ber- serk every time he had six drinks inside of him, which was usually. An itinerant medico persuaded him that if he didn't forswear all hard liquor at once he'd be dead: inside' of two months. One evening the reformed character was in the toughest dive in Gold field, disconsolately sipping a beaker of ginger ale, when a prospector sashayed to the bar pumped his faithless wife and --her- paramour -fuli-of lead, shot out. the lights as a parting ges- ture, and vanished into .the night. The paralyzed silence that fol- lowed-was finally broken by Pop Schwed's reformed 'friend. "Waiter," he barked hoarsely, "for God's sake! A double order of ham and eggs!" REALIZED! Very few of us realize our boyish ambition. In fact a chum of ours has, He wanted to be- come a pirate when he was a kid. He's now a topnotch lawyer.

Her trial speed bests that of the hitherto speed-queen of sail-the Catamaran. Jealous Lover Set Mad Bull On Rival A man was dismissed by his employer, so he burned the fac- tory down. A wife found her husband with another woman; she attacked -her so viciously that her victim went to hos- pital. Revenge! ° Next to love and hate, and possibly fear, it "is the most powerful emotion in the world. | and It destroys both reason rouses primitive passions which civilized beings ~have learned to control. Carried to extremes it becomes a form of insanity. Terrible and almost incredible are the depts to which men and women sink 'when their pride is hurt. In a London: suburb - there is a girl who was once pretty but whose face is now disfigured with livid scars caused by re- venge--the viciousness of young man she turned down. "For, several months the two had been on friendly terms. Then he asked her to marry him. She refused; he argued. At last to placate him she agreed they would spend a final evening together. 5 oe On the way home he flung vitriol in her face, miraculous- ly without damaging her cyes, "So much for your beauty!" he jeered. "Now you'll never find a husband!" "--But-vengeance--needn't- neces- sarily take the form of violence. A man I know was intensely jealous of another who was ex- tremely popular. He spread the stor, that the object of his dis- like had been in jail for a par- ticularly = wicked offence. A vicious lie, but it worked. In- stead of being welcomed as us- . 'ual the victim found himself ostracized.. Worried and puz- zled, he sought the reason, and was able to refute the horrible - accusation. But mud sticks. It was too late {o. repair the damage entirely. | ' One of the most frightful tragedies of revenge occurred in "Arkansas. A farm-hand was sacked for associating with his employer's youngest daughter, He shot the father, the mother, the girl ner self, and her two younger sis- ters and brother. Then he.com- mitted suicide, Another tragedy took place in Rome, Homeward bound from his office, a clerk chatted to an attractive typist who worked for the same firm. It. was all perfectly innocent, not even a mild flirtation. But the girl was married, and when the train stopped her husband was wait- ing on the platform. He saw the two alight, and jumped to the wrong conclusion. He flared up, lost his temper completely, and pushed the clerk under a train. In a peaceful country pub a number of farmworkers were playing darts. Suddenly there was an argument. "You never could throw straight," one of them sneered - contemptuously. He was in a nasty mood, and the man addressed was quick to respond, "My him is as good as * yours!" he retorted aggres- sively. In a second he had his an- swer, The first nmvan hurled a 'dart--but not at the board. It caught the other player full in the eye. Two cowmen figured in an. even worse. case of revenge, Employed on the same farm, for several years they had beén close friends. Then the farm- er's, wife. engaged a new maid, It was the old story. She was young, pretty and very Hlirta- be tious. The two men fell for her charms, and were soon suspi- cious of each other. The girl was highly delighted. The situation appealed to her vanity. The climax came when her two admirers were moving a bull from one stall to another. Normally it was reasonably docile, as hulls go. But sud- denly it-went mad, pawed the gound viciously, then charged one of the men with savage fury. y y . The victim was hurled into the air, landed heavily on his head--and died. It turned out that the other man had deli- berately infuriated the bull by prodding it with a pitchfork. A husban@ in a small. lands town resented -- of all 'things -- his wife going to church. He himself preferred to potter around the garden or to read the Sunday newspapers. Occupations = for which - you would think his wife's presence was scarcely necessary. churchgoing annoyed him. "He hit on a plan.'"No clothes, no church," he thought. And so on 'the following Sunday the wife was unable to find any suitable garments. Her husband had hidden them in the potting- shed. She was puzzled and then furious, guessed" what had hap- pened.-- But- the -husband- underestimated a woman's de- termination. She beat him--by going to church in an old jumper and a pair of slacks. Asked the reason by her curious friends, she told the truth. They were sympathetic, and so was every- body else. Her husband became a laughing-stock. In a very different case the husband' received the sympathy and the wife "the contempt. After a quarrel a Frenchwoman decided to teach her husband a lesson. While he slept, she sawed partly through His wooden leg. Going down the stairs the fol- lowing morning the unfortunate man felt his false limb give way, and he had a nasty tum- ble. At the top of the stairs the wife laughed maliciously Others were not amused. The wife was scorned by her neighbours, Then there was the odd affair of the office-boy who was tick- ed off by the senior clerk. "T'll have my revenge, you he..muttered darkly. jasy to talk --but how? The boy solved the problem--or so he thought, It was his job to fetch the tea. He put a large dose of salts in the senior clerk's cup. THe man took a sip, made a grimace, then caught the office- boy watching him, and became suspicious. Come here!" growled. Then he forced the lad to drink thc horrid concoc- tion himself--with dire results That revenge went wrong, but another inspired by a sim- ilar reason ' didn't, Instead ft resulted in a serious accident, An apprentice who had come up against the foreman re- moved the brake-blocks from his bicycle. The foreman ran into 'a car and fractured a leg. Mid~ Yet her: had beast" - Perhaps the urge for revenge takes on its ugliest form when two women are fond of the same man. Rere's what happen- ed in a Norfolk village. One of the womeny-a widow -- was a veritable giantess, powerfully - built, almost as strong as. a horse. Her rival} Martha, was on the small side.- They both loved a butcher, who was fairly well off, But - he seemed lo prefer the smaller woman, i ' Feeling she was 'losing the battle, the widow invited Mar- tha to her cottage. No sooner was her rival inside than she seized her from behind, flung her down, and tore off her clothes. Then she pushed her out into the wintry night, and as she went hurled a couple of pails of icy water over her. "Perhaps that'll teach you to leave my man alone!" she snarl- ed. The unfortunate Martha stag- gered to her. home three miles away. Then she collapsed. She barely recovered from that frightful ordeal, but the story has a happy-ending. Dis- gusted at the widow's brutal be- haviour the butcher married her victim, So revenge wasn't sweet for the widow. But then it seldom is. More often it leaves a sour "taste in the mouth, [HER COMPLAINT Dr. Pullman, the society den- List, his richest but most difficult pa- tient, a Mrs. Gruber.
