always discreet and almost in love
with his godmother. kept her in n
state Of great good hutnor always, and
when she had suggested to him this
little party he had been delighted. In
speaking over the telephone the Mar
ouise d'Esclignac had said very
firmly:

that this excursion engages you to

Oh. of course. marraine."

Tabloid Aeropianes.

that the smaller the aeroplane and the.
faster 1t can fly the less danger of its
being hit by shots fred from earth.
So the British airmen favor an unusu.
ally small machine, which they call
the tabloid. f" A very light frame is
fitted with an S0-horsepower motor,
which will drive the frail machine
through the air at the rate Of 100
miles an hour. The engine is covered
with armor. The aviator seeking to
drop bomb on the enemy approaches
his target at height Of 5000 feet.
When straight above 1t, he turns the
nose of his machine straight down and
drops at terrific speed. When within
500 feet Of the target he drops his
bombs as quickly as possible and then
shoots skyward at a tremendous pace.

A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE
Medicine Not Needed in This Case.

1t is hard to convince some people
that coffee does them an injury! They
lay their bad feelings to almost every
cause but the true and unsuspected
one.
But the doctor knows. His wide ex-
perience has proven to him that, to
some systems, coffee is an insidious
poison that undermines the health.
Ask him If coffee is cause of con-
stipation, stomach and nervous trou-
bles.
Il have been coffee drinker all my
life, and when taken sick two years
ago with nervous prostration, the doc

broken down and that would have to

outer hallway of the building open on

was not among these sick. Where he
was or what sounds his ears might

sang for him, and the fact put a
sweetness in her voice that touched
the ears of the suffering and uplifted

Only one." he said serenely.
Miss Redmond changed the subject
quickly and cleverly, and before he
knew it, fremont was telling her
stories about his own military serv-
ice, which had been made In Africa.
He talked well and entertained them
both. and Julia Redmond listened
when he told her of the desert, of its
charm and its desolation, and of it's
dangers, An hour passed. The Mar
quise d'Esclignac took an ante
prandial stroll, Mimi mincing at her
heels.
"Ce pauvre Sabron!" said fremont
'He has, disappeared off the face Of
the earth. What a horrible thing 1t
was, Mademoiselle! l knew him in
Paris; l remember meeting him
again the night before he left the
Midi. He was fine fellow with a
career before him. his friends say"
What do you think has become Of
Monsieur de Sabron?"
Miss Redmond, so far, had only
been able to ask this question of her
aunt and Of the stars. None of them
had been able to tell her. fremont
shrugged his shoulders thoughtfully.

A slight murmur from the young
girl beside him made fremont look
at her. He saw that her hands were
clasped and that her face was quite
white, her eyes staring fixedly before
her, out toward Africa. fremont
said:
