At the expensive dressmaking and millinery establishments there is a less lavish display of posies. A single nosegay of softly gleaming shades of pink or soft blue lies on one of the display tables. The saleswoman touches it fondly and speaks of it with that grave admiration which is so characteristic of these diplomatic assistants “It is not ordinary,” you are toid. “It has not been shown in the mag- azins.' " You take the flower in your hands— it seems to be made of some sort of fabric lightly .overlaid with wax and there is a silvery gleam about it. You ask to see the same sort of flower in another color and the assistant un- locks the drawer of an enormous an- tique Itallan chest and produces other | flowers of the same sort in other hues.

They will, according to the signs, quickly over- come these weaknesses and will during their teens attain physical normalcy, and this condition will be maintained until adulthood. They will be fired with ambition and will be rather prone to disregard others in order to achieve their ends. They will possess great determination and a will power that brooks no opposition. Their love will be of the violent, possessive type, and they will always try to take what they want. If tomorrow 18 your birthday, you are sensitive, retiring, sympathetic and loving.

Frances, you'll forgive me, won't you : A soft laugh came—then Frances voice. “Forgive you—why mnot?

I thought you'd bo interested.” “Why?” Another laugh, meaning- ful. “Austin, you'll win?” There was a pause: then, “Frances.

She turned aw As she was nearing the path again, she caught the echo of Frances’ soft voice g »mo back—that's all : On the stone steps of the Hudson Club a group of people waited. Out side, on Fifth avenue, two powerful motors purred, a chauffeur in the seat of each, In Jim Brandon’s hand was a small bag; he wore a neat cap, a light sllk shirt of tan, whipcord suit and breeches, the latter tucked into puttees. Beside him, Rogers was more fas- tidlous. He not in breeches, but wore a neat traveling suit. He was smiling, talking with a little group which had congregated about him. Jimmy’s group was smaller. Billy Crane, he knew, was awaiting him at the field to ses his take-off. The club historian, a wizened but scholarly-looking man, stepped for- ward and glanced at the clock across the street. The hands were almost together. Tt was a matter of seconds. teady, gentlemen?” Jimmy nodded. Rogers smiled, said “Yes, indeed,” and then took a step across to his rival. He held out his May the best man win,” he laughed. Jimmy hesitated, He was reluctant to accept the proffered hand. But the others were watching him. Rogers had made a public bid for popularity. To refuse would be to brand himself a poor sport in the eyes of their small audience. He put out his own hand at last. “May the best man win,” he repeated coolly There was a subdued murmur of approval from the group which stood about them. In the next instant it dled, as from the clock across the ave- nue, a single, melodious note chimed out. “Twelve noon! The clasped hands fell apart. Jimmy’s face grew serious. He darted from the steps coincident with Rogers, and the two sped across the avenue while traffic stopped. Light seconds later he was beside his driver and his big roadster had started. A second afterward Rogers and his chauffeur tore off in their wake toward the Long Island landing fleld. Meanwhile, at the landing fleld, a crowd had gathered. Billy Crane and 1 arrived early, in t} ter, and stood back of the accumulating mob, watching the two planes which were drawn up there. By the farthest ship_a pilot and mechanic stood. That, Natalie kne was to bo Austin Rogers' carrie Jim Brandon would fly alone to Ch go. As the two racing cars had still some time in which to arrive, Billy at last returned to his roadster to await them. For Natalle, however, the preparations held a thrill of excite- ment which would not be denled. After the conversation she had over- heard the night before on the country club grounds she was anxieus. Before he left her, even Billy had shaken his *head worriedly. “I wouldn't trust that guy Rogers out of sight,” he had declared. “Wish there were some way I could trail along and see that Jimmy doesn't make any more of a damn fool of himself than nature intended.” Natalio loooked quickly up at him. “Isn't there some way?” she de- manded. Her brother shrugged. “Name it and you can have it! I'm rich, but not idle rich, darling. If I don't work, little Nat can't take flying les- sons. But I don't trust Rogers,” he grumbled, as he moved off.

Mechanics were fussing about Austin Rogers’ motor, under the supervision of the pilot, who was waiting, in full readiness for the take- off. To Natalie it was more than ordinarily interesting, this start. With her love of flying, this first stretch of the race assumed formidable pro- portions. She wondered idly what they were doing with Jimmy's ma- chine, The mechanics apparently had left it in good condition. A gray-haired individual who looked like an official of some sort had glanced over it and nodded, then gone on to Rogers’ plane. Then one of the workmen returned. Natalie saw him_climb over the fuseluge; he seemed to know what he was dofng, but she could mot understand the white paper bag he held in his hand. He crawled for- ward. There was nothing suspicious about his movement as he bent down, but she had conceived the impression that there was no reason for his being there. Perhaps she was wrong, perhaps she was too suspicious, sh told herself. What right had he to conclude that when the white-haired man nodded, work on Jimmys plane should stop? She took herself to task for being too suspiclous. Nevertheless when the mechanic at last left Jimmy's plane and walked coolly and with nonchalant unconcern across the field, her eyes followed him. Ife still uried the paper bag, she saw, rumpled in_ his hand. The man leapt over the ropes and broke through the crowd. Natalle stepped back to watch him, all the while taxing herself for her foolish- ness. Then suddenly sho gave a sharp little exclamation. At least, she could satisfy herself now. The man had rolled up the bag into a tiny ball and thrown it under one of the automobiles standing about. Then he sliped away. As she hurried across the fleld, in back of the waiting cars, Natalie was aware of a murmur of anticipation. Glaneing at her wrist watch, she re. flected that at any moment now the JUNE 18, 1926 two racers would be arriving. She hastened. No one noticed her when she bent under the running board of a long touring car and drew out the crum- pled bag. She carrled it away with her; and then, certain that she was unob- served behind the cars, she looked in- side. It was, as she had expected, empty. Biting her lip with annoyance, she carried it to her nose, and then drew back suddenly. Her surprise roused the sudden exclamation— “Moth balls!” ‘What on earth had moth balls to do with an afrplane, in one war or an- other? She was stunned. It was like comedy; her live suspicions, the pur- suit, and then—moth balls! She laughed aloud, but the laugh carried no_conviction. The next of which she was aware was the frantic cheering of the crowds from the point where the road from Manhattan emerged at the flying field. Running forward, she was suddenly halted by a hand on her arm. “Steady, old girl—you won't be able to talk to him, anyhow.” It was Billy, running beside her—a Billy who was as nervous and ex- clted as she and who was attempting to cover over his mervousness. “Billy!”” They halted behind a thin line at the roadway. Down the stretch came the two cars, masked in a cloud of furious dust, tearing on_almost nose to nose, toward the field. Even as she spoke, the single word was torn from her lips by the cheer of the spectators. The two motors swept by, Rogers slightly in the lead. As they passed Natalio could see Jim Bran- don’s set, stern face; he was just ris- ing from his seat and hanging on the edge of the car, ready to leap and dash for his airplane. In the same moment, the furious roar of the two powerful air motors shattered the cheers. Natalie jerked lon Billy’s arm and pulled him back toward her. The ropes were down; the bolder of the crowd were moving to ward the planes, “Bllly, what happen: moth balls into a plane me! Moth balls! it vou put It's one on Billy laughed wildly. “Moth balls! He's starting, my dear— save your hysterics till afterward.” ‘With that, still smiling, he started a » when suddenly he brought up short, turning to his sister with a white, startled face, “Moth balls!” he repeated again. “Did you say moth balls? What about 'em?" “Somebody put some in Jimmy's ship,” she cried. “Good Lord!” Billy stood aghast, while from all around them cheers resounded and out on the field pro- pellers whirled and motors roared FEATURES BEDTIME STORIES Jerry Muskrat's Family.
