odist church, and which has in hand
the r~emodeling or the class room of
the Wesley Bible class and the pri.

when the work is started.
The plan outlined by the committee
Is to spend about $4,000 in this remod.

the first floor directly under the Bible
class room To do this work properly
and to care for these two fast growing
departments II will be necessary to
tear out the rear wall OF the building
and rebuild same back possibly 20
feet II is only estimated the above
amount will take care OF the expense,
as no actual figures have been made
and the amount required might be
much larger.
At this meeting Mr.. Ed Hall was
selected as chairman and Mr.. James
W. James was selected as secretary,
and plans were outlined whereby a
systematic campaign for funds will DO

ten be traced to the influence of pass

short, full skirts which are now in
vogue originated with the Russian bal

in the same way as the tight skirts fol-
lowed the craze for oriental plays and
dances. Following up the Russian in

Dress experts keep changing the
fashions, as it were, in self-defense.
At one time elaborately-worked and
hand-embroidered blouses were the
vogue. Then machines were so per-
fected that machine embroidered
blouses outrivaled the hand work. and
fashion experts retaliated by design

ments provided at the instance Of Du-
croy, made his way between two hang
ars to the practice eld.
Now the eastern skies were pulsing
fitfully with promise of dawn; but
within the vast inclosure of the aero
dome the gloom of night fingered 80
stubbornly that two huge searchlights
had been pressed into the service Of
those engaged in tuning up the motor
of the Parrot biplane.
In their intense, white, concentrated
glare-that rippled oddly upon the
wrinkled. oily garments of the dozen
or SO mechanics busy about the ma
chine-the under sides of those wide,
motionless planes hung against the
dark with an effect Of impermanence-
as though they wore already ahoat
and needed but a breath to send them
winging skyward.
At one side a number of young and
keen-faced Frenchmen, officers of the
corps, were lounging, overlooking the
preparations with alert and intelligent
interest.
On the other, all the majesty OF Mars
was inearnate in the rotund person of
NJ. Ducroy, posing valiantly in fur
lined coat and shining top-hat while
he chatted with an officer of tall, ath-
letic figure who wore an air of uncom.

ing uniform.

brought his heels together smartly,
saluted the minister of war and strobe

And mademoiselle?" the adventurer
asked, peering anxiously around.
Almost Immediately the girl came
forward from the shadows with a smile
apologetic for the strangeness of her
attire.
She had donned, over her street
dress, simple leather garment which
enveloped her completely and but
toned tight round wrists and ankles.
Her small hat, too, had been replaced
by a leather helmet-cap which left
only her eyes, nose, mouth and chin
exposed, and even these were soon to
be hidden by heavy veil for protec-
tion against spattering oil.
"Mademoiselle is not nervous-eh?"
Ducroy inquired politely.
Lucy smiled brightly.
II? Why should l be, monsieur?"
Il trust mademoiselle will permit me
to commend her courage. Pardon!

He came to the wall, crept along in
shelter of its deeper shadow until he
found a tree with a low-swung branch
that jutted out over the street, climbed
this, edged outward, and dropped to
the sidewalk.
A shout from the direction of the
nearest gate greeted his appearance.
He turned and dashed off. Running
feet for a time pursued him, and once
he heard the rumble of a motor. But
he recovered quickly, regained his
wind, and ran well, with long, steady,
ground-consuming strides, and doubled,
turned, and twisted in a manner to
wake the envy of the most subtle fox.
The pursuit failed once more. In
time he felt warranted in slowing
down to rapid walk.
WEAKNESS was now a heavy burden
upon him, and his spirit numbed with
desperate desire for rest; but his pace
did not flag nor his purpose falter
