She was never in doubt on any subject, and regarded the| world with a suspicion she made no at- tempt to hide, but her soft drawl and & genuine kindness of heart went far to minimize th: effect of what otherwise must have seemed asperity. “My glory, child,” she greeted Dagger Dagger became one of the most popular girls in the local military set. a8 the station, “you surely do lookl peaked. Whatever has Jim Marley been doing to you?” “We're short-handed on the ranch,” Dagger parried. “And it's been hot.” “Hot! It's hot here in San Antonio, | but— Humph! Any man that would | let a decent girl take an outlandish name like Dagger would be bound to overwork his own flesh and blood. And | that dress is two years behind the styles. | You've got to think of your future, Alix. ‘You can’t wear breeches all the time.” “I've been too tired to pay attention to clothes,” confessed Dagger. “I'll be bound! Well, the first thing we do is to see that you're dressed as becomes a girl of your age. I reckon I'll have to fatten you, too. It doesn't favor yeu to be skinny, child.” From the automobile they had en- tered, Dagger stared curiously at the| swarms of soldiers in the streets, and | her aunt snapped tartly: “Yes, there's all the men in creation | in the place, and a pretty girl can have & different beau every evening. I hope you won't lose your head like a lot of | flighty chits I could name, and go galli- vanting with whoever asks you, just be- | cause he wears a uniform.” Dagger laughed a little bitterly. “I haven't any desire to go gallivanting, sunty; but it will be fun to see a fe: men who aren't old or peons.” i “You'll be sick of 'em in a month.” | her aunt predicted. “Too much man is }lkr; too much sweetening—bad for com- | ort.” High overhead sounded a mighty, droning roar, as if some monstrous | bumble bee was buzzing past. In the street people craned their necks, and Dagger thrust her head out the car window to look up. - All she caught was a swift glint of wings limned against the blue of the sky, but the cheer mir- acle of the picture choked her. “How gorgeous,” she cried. “An aero- plane, aunty!” “Most as many of those fool contrap- tions as men,” her aunt retorted. “That Willle of mine goes up in them every | day. Nothing would do but he must | be an aviator. I argued with him, and you might think his mother's feelings would mean something. Not for a mo- | ment. Young folis don't heed their | parents any more. Willie took himself | off to Kelly Field, and next I heard he | was a flying cadet.” “But you're proud of him, Aunt| Espy,” exclaimed Dagger. “I'd give 53 | g to fly. , by all the say, it's dangerous | enough,” sniffed Aunt Espy. easier mornings if I didn’t know that | about sunrise Willie’s likely to go up.| Oh, he'll talk you deaf and dumb when | he sees you about props and tail skids, | and ailerons, and nose dives, and I| don't know what. And as careless of | “Wonderful!” Dagger could scarcely‘ contain her excitement. “Flying must | be better than riding. When will Willle | be home?” “He gets leave every night or so. But first we must go shopping. I can't have you receiving callers dressed like Jim Marley’s idea of what a young girl should wear. I'm amazed he didn’t send | Jou off in khaki pants.” | To tell the truth, Dagger enjoyed im- mensely those feverish hours during which her aunt hectored her through the few stores the little city boasted. Aunt Espy was fussily pleased by the transformation. As for Willie, he came home one evening, disposed to demon- strate a lordly interest in his “kid cousin,” fetching with him several fel- low cadets, but before he left, at the last possible moment permitted by his | pass, he was battling with his com- panions for Dagger’s least attentions. | That evening marked the inaugura- tion of a ceaseless round of activities for her.

A Tremarkable new corrective of acidity has been developed by a fa- mous 100-year-old pharmaceutical house in Germany.

Vaneering stopped me and asked me who you were, He wants to be introduced.” (Continued Tomorrow.) SCHACHT COMING TO U. S. Former Head of Reichsbank and Family to Visit America.
