play. Finally he decided that he would
go out there. He leased his brothers
and sisters to go with him, but they
refused. They remembered what their
mother had told them about the fear
some shadows which isn't a shadow at
all but Hooty the Owl, and they decided
that it was best to be safe. Besides,
they had been told not to go out
So the boldest little Mink went alone,
calling the others Trades" and feeling
very big and brave himself. He, too,
remembered all that his mother had
said about Hooty. and he looked closely
at all the shadows. He saw how some
Of them moved and how some didn't,
the fun of playing in the moonlight on
the bank of the Smiling Pool he forgot
all about shadows.
Ely and by. right in the midst Of his
play, something made him look up
There seemed to be a shadow in the
sky 1t was moving. drifting straight
toward hip. He looked at it sharply,
for that Twas funny place for a
shadowSto be. but then shadows were
everywhere. He listened. but there was
ing of his mother to dodge and hide the
instant he saw a moving shadow at
night. and he remembered his boast
that he would like to have Hooty the
Owl try to catch him. He eyed the
moving shadow more sharply. Yes, it
was shadow and therefore nothing to
be afraid of. So the boldest little Mink
simply sat there and allowed the shad-
ow to drift almost over him.
Then all in second he found him
self gazing into two fierce yellow eyes
He jumped and lodged then! Yes, sir,
he jumped and lodged then, 1t is
lucky for him that he was born quick
in his movements. II it had been any
one less quick it would have been the
end Of him right then and there As it
was, great, cruel claws clutched at him
and quick as he was two of them
caught in his little brown coat and tore
it and hurt dreadfully. My. my, my,
how those claws did hurt! But his lit
tie brown coat torn and with a squeal
of terror he lodged under a little, low
growing hemlock tree. Then as soon
as he dared he darted back to the safety
of his home. He had learned a lesson.

fresh and tender than one not so ex-

the ends could be used for soup-if

economic aspect nowadays.

FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, July
9.-Sergeant Andrew Campbell won in
fight with death, with the chances
million to one against him. while
flying with the Lafayette squadrilla
yesterday afternoon. The lower left
wing of his airplane broke Off when
he was soaring a mile high. Only
his complete presence of mind and
GOODNESS saved him.
Campbell threw all control on the
other side and volplaned some distance
in order to detach the floating rem
nants of the broken wing which were
beating against the body of the ma
chine and threatening to dislocate
everything. Then. when he had sue
ceeded in this maneuver. he descended
slowly on the remaining wing into a
beet field without injury to himself.
The slightest turn in the air would
have meant death.

Even the girl behind the desk and

This accident was preceded by the
ceremony of the presentation of an
American flag to the squadrilla by
an employe of the Treasury Depart

American aviators from several squad

grounds for ceremony. which was a

Seventeen Air Duels.

In the week from June "a to June 80
they fought seventeen air duels. and as
the result of their reconnaissance fur
nshed the French with most valuable
information. Lufbery and Willis had
four engagements each. Bigelow and
Lowell two each. Thaw, Havilland. Sou
bran. Hall and the French lieutenant,
DeMaisson-Rouge, one each.
Hall. who is a newcomer, after serV-
ing as a machine gunner in the British
army, while making his second flight
with the Lafayettes. was wounded Sc
verely. He was decorated with the mill
tary medal for attacking single-handed
seven German airmen. Infantrymen on
the ground stopped their fighting to
watch the stirring combat, which ended
in Hall being wounded in three places.
He lost consciousness at a height OF
three miles. but recovered his senses
when within a hundred feet of the
ground and brought his machine safely
within his own lines.
Walter Lowell also suffered an acct
dent The motor broke down in the air,
and the machine. out Of control, de-
scended astride a trench in the French
lines. The unconscious aviator was
taken from his machine by an officer
but it was found he was not seriously
hurt.

NEW YORK. July AFTER the first

clothes for the open air.
We still cling to the traditional
Anglo-SaXon phrase that nobody is in
town after the 18th of Jure. We are
quite well aware that the majority of
people arc in town, that millions re-
main while hundreds leave. The word
nobody is more frequently used in its
social than in its numerical sense. 1t
is considered fashionable to leave the
city when the hot weather appears.
