After two years or so Of vainly
trying TO make Anne think seriously
Of their cause, the phalanx of suitors
of her hand had reluctantly dwind-
led to two, aud the reason OF the
plural was that Anne herself did not
know which one she liked the best.
She liked them both as each APP
yealed TO q different side Of her with
equal force. There were two sides
10 Anne as there are 10 most Amer
lean girls-the dreamy. aesthetic,
poetical side which is every wom-
ans by nature. the mystic. highly

hearty. frank, sunny side. independ-
ent and reliant, contemptuous OF the
covert. fond Of athletics, and-bull-
dogs.
II was impossible for her to make
up her mind which of the two men
she cared for most. they were 50

he boosted OF ancestors in every

TO make love from Apollo himself.
Moreover he had music as we'll as
all the "ologies." What more could
a man be TO be perfect? Anne
would look into his dark pleading
eyes and feel herself carried along
irresistibly on a current OF eloquence
and passion. Then just in time she
would think OF Jerry and sigh un-
certainly.
Jerry Tilford was the name Of the
other. He appealed 10 Anne's indie

Empress ZHa a Thorn in Side of Kaiser

a confidant of his empress, he de-
cided to have her with him. When
she faced the kaiser she spoke plain
ly on the possibilities of peace.
Firmly she emphasized that peace
could well be brought about at that
time. When several burly German
strategists were assigned 10 instil in
her a rapid education in military
and political tactics she wrathfully
conducted a little propaganda on
her line. In vain did the corpu-
lent officers endeavor to explain TO
her the promising position of the
imperial armies. Loudly and firmly
she presented her very logical case
and then precipitately cut the con-
ference. 1t is ascribed TO her in

One day Anne had a headache. a

when the whole Travelling Circus. q"
under Won Richthofen, came dash

vultures to carrion. Guynemer, no
doubt noticing the trap promptly
sailed into the squadron and en-
gagged them in lively battle. A Bel
gian squadron began TO come in
from the right 10 create a diversion
that they might save the French
man. They were too late. for Guy
nermer had been already hit. when
last seen, his plane was dropping
gently TO earth. 1t was not afire,

troll. but exhibited every evidence
Of being hit
There seems 10 be one very signt-
ficant point about the whole thing.
Although the French war office re-
ports him officially missing, there
is no authenic news Of his death.
There is a curious custom IN the

aviator's death the enemy reports
with a wreath and a written con-
dolation weighted and dropped to
earth over the hero's comrades.
Thus far, as regards Guynemer,
the custom seems TO have been
neglected by the Germans. The odds
seem TO be that the noble airman
has met his death, out in view of
the circumstances the case will rank
with that of Lord Kitchener. whom
many persons believe, is even now
a prisoner among the Germans.
