French Aviator Thinks 1t Is a

When High In the Air He Stretches
Out His Hand and Grasps What
to His Amusement Proves
to BE Bullet.

London.--A French aviator is re-
ported to have brought from the skies
a German rifle bullet which he had
caught in his hand. The story goes
that he was flying at height of about
seven thousand feet when he sudden
ly became aware of small black OBJ
ject close to his mead. He thought it
was an insect of some kind, and was
sufficient of an entomologist to realize
that a flying insect at such an altl'
tude was curiosity So he stretched
out his hand and grasped what to MS
amazement proved to be bullet.
He explained afterward that it was
evidently a rife bullet that had been
fired almost vertically and had
reached it's utmost elevation. He
arrived on his aeroplane just at the
moment when the bullet slowly turned
over and was about to fall again.

THE lost FRIEND
BY n. ~. EGBERT.


Copyright 1914, by W. G. ChapmanJ
Col. Jim Slice sat in his swivel chair
and looked at Miss Elizabeth Ray and
pulled his dropping mustache.
Colonel Slice was the last man in the
world whom one would have associated
with q large city store. A little over
fifty, perhaps, with a splendid figure
and military bearing, there was some
thing chivalrous about the man in
spite of his reputation. If there can be
grades of fast livers, the colonel I'M
doubtedly belonged to the highest
as a man of unblemished reputation;
and those who knew what his life was
somehow exonerated him.
The colonel had fallen heir to the
store on his brothers death, and he
had not known what to do with it.
His first act was to call all the en-
ployees together and raise their sala-
ries. Then he promoted all the pretty
girl clerks. The colonel's Old-fashioned
idea was that the prettier girl was
and every girl was pretty if she bad
health and a sweet temper-the less
right she had to labor for pittance.
Miss Ray, being the prettiest and most
innocent of the lot, was appointed the
6olonel's private secretary.
That was as far as the colonel got
before the departmental managers in
serfered and told him, with firm polite
ness, that he would have to leave the
charge of affairs to them unless he
wished to drive the store into bank
ruptcy.
The colonel made them agree that
the revised salary schedule should
stand, and after that he came down to
the store for about two hours day
and pretended to answer letters.
It is doubtful whether he would have
come more than twice week but for
Miss Ray. She was about twenty,
and she came from little town in
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1914-12-03

Connecticut. She was one of the pref
test girls the colonel had ever seen,
with her fluffy brown hair, gray eyes,
red lips and unsophisticated ways.
The colonel was little afraid of her
at first, but after a while he won her
confidence He knew Row to do that;
he was always gentle and always a
gentleman.
He had employed her as his secre-
tary, at twenty dollars, for about a
month when he learned about Tom.
Tom was a young farmer in her home
town, and they were engaged to be
married-perhaps in years time.
when she had saved her trOusseau
money and he had begun to make
things go better. He had only lately
taken over the land, and it was heavily
mortgaged.
Miss Elizabeth" said the colonel,
and, though it was the first time he
had ever called her by her Christian
name, his tone was SO respectful that
it was impossible to take exception to
his words-"Miss Elizabeth, you are
much too charming a girl to take up
country life. Why, here you could
have your pick of a dozen million
aires.'
Miss Elizabeth laughed softly and
looked at the colonel with that inno-
cent expression that always puzzled
him.
"Fll prove it," said the colonel. I'm
going to take you out to lunch with
me, and just you watch the men stare
at you
Miss Elizabeth put on her hat and
accompanied him. She had never been
into big restaurant before, had never
eaten cold jellied consomme or tasted
champagne. She slipped about two tea
spoonfuls of the ice cold wine out of
courtesy, although her parents had
been prohibitionists. Still, she did not
want to hurt the colonel.
81 have had a most delightful time /;
you are very good to me-" she said,
when they returned to the office.
Feel like repeating the expert
ment?" inquired the colonel, and Miss
Elizabeth nodded gayly.
That was the beginning of many
luncheons. At times the girls heart
misgave her; she felt that she ought
not to accept so much kindness from
| this friend. But he was always SO
| gentle, so entirely respectful to her
Then one day the colonel invited her
| to dine with him and go 70 the theater
For the first time that night, after
| she had left him at her door, Miss Eli
zabeth began to dread that his interest
in her was not wholly platonic. There
had been an undertone of something
that she did not understand in his Le
meanor that evening. And, what
troubled her most, she had somehow
felt that it was not advisable to make
any reference to him in her letters tC
! Tom.
Tom was looking forward anxiously
to seeing her when her vacation came
the following month. Perhaps ther
she would tell Tom. Perhaps :.
She went to bed with a conscience
not wholly free from problems.
1t was day or two later that Mis-:
Elizabeth spoke of her vacation to the
colonel,

When convincing proof had been OBJ

Norman was instructed to cut away
from her husband forever. She left
the house because she believed she
