ually going closer, FOR thousn she
had seen many of this sort OF nylng
machines in the air 1t had never Deen
her privilege to inspect one at close
range.
"Oh. bother the monoplane," re-
piled the man, taking a keen put po-

Ing the ground, and 1t caught me
across the face and-why-what?
For Betty had burst into peals OF
the merriest laughter Bob Norton
had ever heard.
AS she continued to laugh appar-
emily uncontrollably he began to
think he had encountered a beautiful
insane sleepwalker or some young
girl whose mind was sadly affected.
TIT was my toe!" cried Betty,
ending in another laugh. For some
reason or other the situation had ap-
pealed so strongly to her risibles that
she found it impossible to make lucid
explanation at once.
The man stared. Your - your
toes?" he exclaimed. But"
"My toe!" repeated Betty. 1.-THE
string was tied to my toe!' she said
between paroxysms of laughter.
"You-but the string was high up
in the air." explained the man, be-
wildered.
Betty laughed again and wiped the
tears from her cheeks. -
I'll tell you," she said, scnsibly,
and tnereupon related the little bit OF
conversation she and Carolyn had in
dulged in and acted upon.
And the very kealthiest thing for
you to do" Betty said after a half
hour In which they-two strangers
had watched the sun come into Its
full glorious splendor and break over
the fourth of July, "is to get that
monoplane out Of the flower bed be-
fore the good people wake up. You
might even come down in the
meadows with US and we'll help set
your ship a-sailing. Only get out of
here"
Twill you-be in the meadow with

meet Carolyn coming across the
lawns in the distance.

Something compelling in the mans

question before another glorious

"Ah-the boys! Carolyn Inter-

they all are now
"You can make sure there won't
be any of them still In the old
meadow as they used to be with
their punches Of firecrackers and
toy cannons, Carrie. That's all over"
Betty's eyes were wistful as her
thoughts trailed back over the dozen
years or more.
Even now as she dropped off to
sleep. with the cool breeze blowing
her hair above her pillow, her
thoughts were among her childhood
memories.
She was hardly prepared for the
strenuous tug that her toe received
some hours later. Indeed, it seemed
as If she had been asleep but mo-
ment. She sat up to discover that
the string had been broken off at the
window sill.
Carrie is getting strong In her old
age" Betty said laughingly, az she
took the string from her toe and
rubbed it's stinging exterior. The
! Jerk had nearly startled her out of
bed.
She dressed hastily in fresh
white linen frock and pinned a rose.
laden hat on her sunny hair. Then
she opened her door softly, picked
up her basket of frecrackers, and
crept steadthily down the stairs:
None Of the good folks in the old farm
house was awake.

draughts Of the fresh morning air
and stepped out upon the close-clipped
lawn. She would remain up now and
beat Carolyn at her own game.
| Where could she be?
Betty walked to the corner OF the
! white farmhouse and stood still.
There, in the center Of the good farm
folks most prided flower bed, was a
monoplane. A little to one side and
looking ruefully at the wreck of his
own aircraft was young man In

Betty coughed. The man looked
