Then he became very much ashamed the birds were singing, the flow- ' blooming, all radiani , breathing purity, peace and promise. | The sun shone at its brightest. Its rays glorified the redolent garden. Be- | yond it lay a sportsman’s paradise— stables, kennels, garage and hangar. It represented the latest facilities for ! pleasure. i “Yes, with all this, I may well be i ashamed of myself for finding noth- | ing worth lving for!” murmured Burt, self-reproachfully. Burt went out to the spot where the hangar was located. With the assist- | ance of his hired man the superb bi- plane he operated was wheeled out. ! He had become quite an expert avi- { ator and enjoyed his air trips greatly. ! Under his expert direction the ma- chine struck an upward lateral course, a thing of life and beauty. He en- ! joyed the rare exhibition of pure air and bird-like speed immensely. | Ten miles accomplished, Burt vol- | | planed to a meadow stretch to adjust a trivial defect in the control mechan- fsm. He had just got in trim to re- sume his cloud work, when a shout down the highway attracted his ntten-l tion. With both interest and lndlxultlonl the amateur airman observed a lad of about fourteen running towards him as it for his life. Struggling behind him, but in hot pursuit, were three men. They were shouting and gesticulating. One car- ried a cane, which he waved menac- ingly. A second had picked up a lot | of stones.

Dayton had a bad limp on him as he arose from the dust of the road. “You've done it now—b'gosh you've done it!” shouted the farmer as he hung to the fence, “Yaas,” drawled young Dayton, with an accent that would have done credit to & Hindoo in London. ‘ “And why in the devil were you here instead of somewhere else?” de- manded the chauffeur. 7 There was more jawing, and there were some awful threats made.

FIRST OF AMERICAN HEROINES Gunner Corbin’s Widow Fought for the Country’s Liberty at Mount Washington. And the first woman who fought for American liberty was Gunner Corbin's widow, at the capture of Mount Wash- ington, by the Scotch and Hessians. In the midst of the fight Gunner Corbin, struck by a ball, fell dead at his wife's feet as she was alding him in his du- ties. It was Dot an uncommon occurrence for Irish women (as at Limerick) to share the dangers of the bivouacks, as instance the deeds of that other hero- ine, Molly Pitcher. Instantly, without & word, she stepped iato his place and worked the gun with redoubled skill and vigor, fighting bravely ustil she sank to the earth, plerced by three grapeshot!

He lifted the helpless lad in his arms bodily, and made a run for the biplane. “Don’t get frightened,” he ordered, placing his charge in the seat behind the pilot post and hurriedly strapping him in. “Quick, mister! oh, quick as you can!” insisted his passenger, with a terrified glance at the fence. The three pursuers had arrived. One tried to jump the fence and his feet tripped and he fell with a thud. A second attempted to crawl under the | lower wire and his clothing had be- come entangled. “Don't you interfere with that boy or you'll be llable to the law!” he shouted at Burt. ‘The latter paid no attention to the threat. He sprang to the pilot seat. Chug-chug—whirr! and the biplane went aloft like an arrow. The dismayed and chagrined men below vainly vented their wrath on the rescuer who had baffled them. { The little fellow sat spellbound with . delight at the rare sensation of an air flight he had never dreamed of. For the first time in his life Ralph Burt had found his mind invested with real human interest. It elevated him. An actor in an exciting and unusual circumstance, he was eager to learn what lay behind the strange incident of the hour, Boon he knew all about it, for when the biplane landed on home ground he took his passenger into his library and questioned him. It came out that he and his sister, Eleanor, were practically prisoners in the power of one of his three pursuers, Giles Warden. Fearing foul play, the sister had that day given him the will of her dead father, with the injunction to place it in the hands of some law- yer for safety and action. Hence the pursuit. 3 “Righting a wrong—quite heroic!” commented Burt's lawyer, when he was made aware of the facts in the case. “Why, your new experience has made you look like a new man.

A New Yorker writes the Times to protest against a habit he says met- ropolitan women have of knitting at concerts. Recently, he declares, he ‘was obliged to sit near a knitter and the click of her busy needles dis- turbed him. Here is a serious issue. One has seen & woman, returning from mar- ket, shelling her beans on the street car. There could be no objection to her plucking a holiday goose under the same circumstances, provided she didn’t scatter feathers on the floor. But knitting at a concert is differ- ent. A knitting needle obbligato to a harp selection might lack something of the ideal. One might better take & basket of corn to husk, or an arm- ful of stockings to darn. Almost any concert enthusiast will agree with the Times complainant. I the music is not to one’s liking it is better to exchange whispered stories with one’s neighbor than to disturb the assemblage with clicking needles. “From Hoke 8miths.* Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia has . gty as) L puspres mum»wmmtm that Ralph met “Sister Eleanor” a B i is int g on day week later.
