She met a companion of her own age and there was a long consultatlon as to “picture hats.” “I think I know what they ware,” sald Nettie's juvenile adviser. “Well, what?" inquired Nettle with Interest. “You know how girls wear picturez fn lockets and in the backs ot watches, and that?" | “Uh-huh,” bobbed Nettie, she was guessing right. “Well, I'll bet a picture hat is | where a girl gets the photograph of her beau and pins it in her hat—see?” | “Oh, just the thing!" cried Nettie with sparkling eyes. “I know just . what to do now. | She went to the picnic the next . day and so did all the town, Elsa in- | cluded. The latter wore the hat she had worn all summer. She saw that her father and mother were comfort- ably bestowed in a shady spot. Then she placed her hat and light wrap alongside the lunch basket and wan- dered about the grounds. A strange thing had happened to little Nettie the afternoon previous, which shall be recited in its due | place. As its sequence now, the mo- ment Elsa was out of sight Nettie stole up to the discarded hat. She i proceeded to pin the photograph ef | & very handsome young man inside | the hat. Father Dunbar was dozing ‘lnd his wife was reading. Neither ! noticed the excited little sprite, who ' flashed away feeling jubilant because she had settled the picture hat ques- | tion to her artless way of thinking. | Now bv another strange freak of fate, which will also be explained iw its place. a young man, a stranger in Wharton, strolled by that spot a few moments later. His name was Lisle Devon. He had come to the town on very important bisiness the day pre- vious. He had met with the loss o' a wallet containirg important papers —and conld do rn business until h had found them. T e local police wer + now asscting him in this efiort. Tho vicnic occasion was a general hoi- hoping | e Yes, she had placed the picture there, she confessed readily, Where | | did she get it? She had found a big ! ! wallet lying in the road. It was full, of papers and the photograph. That | was all she wanted to make dear Miss Dunbar a picture hat! And the wal let? Oh, she had tossed that in the | old unused «hicken house. | “There {8 one contract there the loss of which would mean the loss of | $20.000 for our city houss,” Lisle | Devon explained to Elsa. Business kept him in Wharton for a week, Naturally he saw Elsa again. He bought Nettic a great handsome doll as a reward. He told Elsa that | only for her he might never have re- | covered the precious papers. ‘ Secretly he paid off the mortgage to | old Silas Bounderly. Then one event- ful evening he came to the Dunhar home with a vital question on hxs lips. Would Elsa 'mm\ him to buy all her hats, picture hats included, for | the rest of her life? | And Elsa answered blushingly: | “Yes." (Copyright, 1913, by W, G. Chapman.) LOOKS LIKE WARFARE'S END: Possibilities of a Flying Machine in | Spreading Death Are Awful to Contemplate, It the airship is ever really called | upon to show what it can do to defi stroy an enemy it will prohably arouse | the world to an appreciation of the | real changes which the engineer has been preparing to surprise the self | confident soldier and sailor. Thus, | ithe attack from the air will utterly ignore existing defenses, whether by land or by water, and pass at once to the great centers of finance, industry ! /and government. The continued con- leentration of control into a few great | cities renders such a method of attack | comparatively simple. The use of ex- plosive bombs for such an attack ' iwould be limited, even assuming th at | accurate alm Is possible, because lha effect of unconfined explosive is in- sufficient to do a great amount of 11\ | Jury. It would be possible, however, | Cassler's Magazine states, for an aip | ship to pass over a city, in silent dark- | ness, showering upon the ground be- neath a sufficient quantity of poison- ous grains of unrecognizable chem. icals to wipe out all life in its path, Such eflects might be delayed until the machine had passed far beyond ob ' servation, or even suspicious. Any unroofted reservoir of clty: water supply, for example, forms an ample target into which an abundance ! of disease germs could be dropped from the air to exterminate the popu- | lation in the course of a few succeed- | Ing weeks. Any machine flying over | the harvest fields might readilv sow | the larvae of such destructive ncects‘ 88 would render the next season's food supply insufficient, just as the e-cupe‘ of a few specimens of a careless en. | tomologist has already worked havoc, | | Every naval coaling station could ens. | lly be charged with explosive pieces of imitation coal, later to produce ef- | fects indistinguishable from boiler ex- | plosions when unconsclously fed by | stokers into the furnaces i In the face of the ex ‘e of such | weapons as these, is it to be supposeq | that a really up-todate opponent would resort to such crude obvious and violent methods as caunon, bay onets and troops? —_— ) Not So Lucky. “I never yet bet my money on the winning horse.” “Gee! you're the ori_inal hard luek guy " “I don't see it.
