Bob's mother turned TO her son, say
ing: "She is beautiful, and she is
good, too. Anybody can see that. We
could love her for what she has done
for you. II for nothing else"
"Well, | should say so," proudly
vaunted the son. "She took chance

she reformed me from the ground up.

Never until she left Lorelei's house
and turned toward the white lights OF
Broadway did Adoree Demorest fully
realize whittier her theatrical career
had carried her. Adoree knew herself
to be pure. But the world considered
her evil, and evil in its eyes she would
remain. At this moment she would
gladly have changed places with that
other girl whose life hung in the scales.
John Merkle had never lost interest
In Lorelei, nor forgotten her refusal
of his well-meant offer of assistance.
II pleased him to read into her char
acter beauties and nobilities OF which
she was utterly unconscious II not ac-
tually devoid. Soon after his talk with
Bob he telephoned Hannibal Wharton,
making known the situation in the
most disagreeable and biting manner
of which he was capable. Strange to
say, Wharton heard him through, then
thanked him before ringing of.
When Hannibal had repeated the
news to his wife, she moved slowly to

In ignorance OF the truth, and now,
therefore, the girl had no one to lean
upon except an impractical stage
woman-and a drunken husband. In
Bob's mind the pity OF 1t grew as the
time crept on.
But Adoree Demorest was wonder
ful. Despite her inexperience. she was
calm, capable, sympathetic, and, best
OF all, her normalty afforded a sup

Adoree nodded; her eyes met Bob's

wet. Her face was tender, ana she
appeared very simple and womanly at
this moment. Her absurd theatrical

Reports compiled in Washington by
the Surgeon Generals effice indicate
that the percentage of sickness is be-
low per cent in the national army
camps of the Middle West. and in the
camps OF the Aviation Corps. A sim
liar condition obtained in depots for
the assembling Of recruits for the reg
ular army.
And this percentage means more
than would a similar report in civil
life, for, in the army. since tent and
barrack conditions preclude the possi-
bility Of home care for trivial illnesses,
II Is the custom to send every man,
however slightly indisposed, to hos
pita1 for treatment The government
believes, indeed, that 1t has reduced
sickness among drafted men to less
than one-fourth the normal average.
Moreover. in cases of serious sick
ness, such as pneumonia. the mortality
rate in the national arr-y camps is
less than per cent, as against nearly
20 per cent for men Of similar age in
civil life. Here are evidences Of gov
ernmental efficiency which should go
far toward dispelling any fears for the
well-being Of the men who have been
called into services.

hours at the task. using all the mathe-

He broke the tip off the bulb, filled
the thing with water and then meas

In two minutes he had done what his

Runaway Balloon Raids Kansas.

Victor Hugo's story of the runaway
cannon on a ships deck must now take
a back seat for the runaway Nebraska
balloon which made the trip across
Kansas to Oklahoma and back, start
ing Monday by breaking away from
its moorings at Fort Omaha. The
same day another army balloon got
loose at Fort sill. The Nebraska bal
loon, after dragging ITS 5000 feet of
steel cable along the ground. tearing
down telephone and telegraph wires
and doing other damage in swift
night flight across Southern Nebraska
and Kansas. dipped down into Okla
hOma and then turned to the north
again as II to circle back to its Fort
Omaha hangar. Its course on its re-
turn trip was northwest across Kansas
and II was captured late at night
about six miles southwest of Tren-
ten. Neb. In its flight back across
Kansas, the French sausage-shaped
balloon passed over Dodge City, Utica,
Plainville, Ellis. Colby and Atwood.
Two army officers were in the bal
loon that was freed from its cable at
+ ort sill when an airplane struck and
broke the steel wire. The flight of
this balloon was not as spectacular as
TIE Omaha runaway's, but some ap-
Lrehension was felt for the safety Of
the two officers. They were able,
however. to bring the bag safely to the
ground at Rush Springs. Okla, thirty
miles from Fort Sill. Neither OF the
officers was injured. The Omaha bal
oon had no occupants.
The Omaha balloon apparently ran
nto several air currents near the Okla
oma line and was carried back
cross Kansas by the northwesterly
Wind. From each town over which
he balloon passed came reports of
amage caused by the trailing cable.
