PAGE FOU! Casual Slaughters ous By VIRGINIA HANSON YESTERDAY: The robbery of the chaplain’s car and clothes is the second occurrence of ‘the kind recently at Fort Michigan, Adam explains. The chaplain’s plight arouses amusement on the post. Chapter Three Gerald Beaufort ‘THAT noon, in the mess hall, Colonel Pennant asked the ju- nior medical officer how the chap- Jain was. Captain Jones's slightly promi- nent eyes blinked; his Adam’s ap- ple made a couple of trips up an: down. “Sorry,” he mumbled. “Didn’t| bh realize I was being addressed. The chaplain, sir? Worst case of po oak I ever saw. We washed im —did everything we could. He seems unusually susceptible to it. Face, hands, swollen out of shape.” I'm sure we all tried to keep decently sober; I know I did. But in spite of all I could do little shuddery giggles began to escape me. Adam, pink faced, was avoid- ing my eye and feeding radishes rapidly into his mouth. Colonel Pennant made clucking sounds through lips that could not seem to keep from stretching horizon- tally. And Felicia, at the head of table, I surveyed those lashes nar- rowly, for the unworthy thought did just oceur to me that th might be artificial. And then, wi a little bow, and not quite click- ing his heels, he said: “From Peele's, in London.” So it was really the voice that jot me; and I make no apologies. ‘ake a pair of Middle Western ces, panel tothe accent on the globe, expose them - lish wall ken by an En; ie man—not the lah~de-dah of bored affectation or the vocal acrobatics of the Cockney, but the unpre- tentious, sterling article— “Hm, you’re a new man,” ob- served Colonel Pennant. “Used to be a big fellow, red face, regu- lar John Bull.” peaid Beaufort inclined his “My uncle. Laid up with gout.” He drew down his mouth sadly. “Poor old duffer.” “Too bad. Remember him very | well. Used to buy Peele boots myself when I was young and foolish. Before I was a family man. Up to you, Adam, and Jeff. Hm, little late for him, too. Too bad you didn’t get here a month or two earlier, Beaufort. We're about to have a wedding on the post.” Blue Eyes And Gray ERALD BEAUFORT’S eyes— those special gray, lash- trimmed eyes—met mine across the table. = | Mrs. Tom Carry The Young Women’s Circle of | {Ley Memorial Church met with | ;Mrs. Tom Curry, 1405 Olivia | street, last evening.

The blue eyes and the gray met and measured each other, “I’m often a bridesmaid, never a bride,” I told him sadly. Adam said, “You don’t live right.” Gerald Beaufort screwed an imaginary monocle into his eye, leaned confidentially toward me across the table. “Are you double-jointed?” he asked politely. “I—I'm afraid not.” “How jolly! Neither am I. Per- haps we're soul mates!” Having settled that, he turned his attention to the soup. Felicia Bridewell telegraphed me one of her looks that meant, in any language, “Loopy!” “Are you susceptible to poisen oak?” Adam bears hollowly and was not allowed to finish. “If you don’t mind,” said Gerald Beaufort politely when the langhter had died down, “I feel like a new boy at school. ‘1 ange at the jokes, but I don’t understand them.
