CHAPTER VIII.


AS l have stated, now the great naval
pattle was over, my objective was Bethel,
and my sweetheart Aimee. But 1t was not
easy to sail at an elevation OF thousand
yards over strange country and pick out
from hundred villages a particular one
which has been visited but single time
Bethel, as remembered 1t, could be distin-
guished by its great monastery. Yet, even
with striking landmark to go by, dark
ness came upon me and l was still cruising
about, using my glass In vain.
With morning l resumed my scrutiny of
the panorama below me, and late in the
forenoon discovered the monastery / Sc

settled to earth.

lage was the object of much attention,
and when l landed the villagers and field
workers fiocked to see the ship. They were
rough, heavy-browed class, and at sight of
my German uniform there was much MUIR
muring. l caught the word "spy' several
times. They hemmed me In, the crowd
increasing In numbers. Some became much
excited, gesticulating, and babbling In pro-
vincial French. was entirely unarmed, and

The increase in the number of
women engaged in the banking
business is very noticeable, espec-
tally in the middle West, and, so
far as known, not one woman
entrusted with ,'sponsible bank
position has failed or betrayed
the confidence reposed i'm her. One
Of the most successful of these banker
women is Mrs. Jennie c. Taylor, prin-
cipal owner and manager of the Bank
of Melvin, Indian Territory. 1t is
said that Mrs. Taylor, who, by the
way, is a Cherokee Indian, holding
some stock i'm the bank and not salts
fled with the management, quietly
bought up a majority of the stock and
then took affairs in her own hands.
How well she has succeeded is proved
by the standing Of the institution, not
only in the vicinity, but In the
territory.

Synopsis of Preceding Chapters.

James Adams, graduate of West Point and
European representative of American manu-
Inacturers, Is In Paris at the outbreak of the
French-Cierman war. He engages in n balloon
reconnaissance for the French, and narrowly
escapes capture. His balloon Is wrecked at the
rescued and nursed by Count Lagunays daugh-
ter, Aimee, with whom he falls in love. The
German army advances and takes possession OF
the chateau. Adams fights a German colonel
who has insulted Aimee, and is thrown TO the
floor by the Kaiser, with whom he is acquainted
He is impressed into the German army engages
IN an ambush of French column, and later
Kills the German colonel Gresman, who has
escape or French spy. After terrific fighting
against the French, Adams Is picked up by a
French air-shtRatd blown out to sea- where ne
observes the great naval battle In which both
fleets are !. an9aihilated by strange and terrible
implements or war. He then sets sail In his air.

with cousins during the war.

since the day before the invasion. He
told us that peace had been declared He
was journeying north to Bethel, after
Aimee, and had stopped overnight for Il
rest. He welcomed me cordially, and hear
ing the story of our elopement and my
treatment at the hands OF his brother, de-
clded not to go to Bethel, but to return
with us to Paris.
A week later the bells rang sweetly In
the tower of the historic Church Of the
Madeleine, and in the presence of my good
friends, with Fleischmann as best man, |
led my Aimee to the altar.
The Chateau Lagunay, rehabilitated,
stands in stately grace amid the trees on
the banks of the Mouse. Aimee Is sweeter
and lovelier than ever. Here we spend part
Of our leisure, taking occasional business
trips to America. Fleischmann Is with us
always; LatOur and my club friends come
often to spend n holiday. Germany and
France are friends through the influence Of
our great Roosevelt. In our abode of
peace and happiness the beat of drums and
the clash of swords is forgotten. Life is
sweet indeed after the conflict.

Where the Nickel Got It's Name

The word came from the Swedish
and is connected with Old Nick, an
evil spirit. The reason 1t is applied to
the metal we know as nickel is be-
cause its ore, which is copper-colored,
deceived the miners, who expected to
obtain copper from it.
