 For month past. but especially since June l, the airpanes on this front have been indefatigabiy at work during every possible flying hour. They had brought down nearly 50 ma chimes in six days as means of blind ing the enemy. Lately the Germans have endeavored valiantly to obtain airplane observations for their artil- lery. but their observing machines have seldom been able to direct more than one or two shots before the Brit Ish fighting scouts had bounced upon them and either sent them crashing to the earth or had driven them to cover at breakneck speed.
 Today the British planes flew far and long over the enemy's retreating lines and were only challenged by some very bad-shooting anti-aircraft batteries. All through the day British planes ruled the air. They co-operated actively with the British artillery and infantry in maintaining the success Of this brilliant episode in modern war fare.

10 h., sitting in the back of the church between Harriet and Anna. the wedding was Sidney-Sidney only. Afterward he could not remember the wedding party at all The service for him was Sidney, rather awed and very serious, beside the altar. It was Sid hey who came down the aisle to the triumphant strains of the wedding march, Sidney with Max beside her!
 On his right sat Harriet, having reached the first pinnacle of her new career. The wedding gowns were sue cessful. They were more than that they were triumphant. Sitting there, she cast comprehensive eyes over the church, filled with potential brides. But to Anna, watching the ceremony with blurred eyes and intellectual bluish lips, was coming her hour. Sit ting back in the pew, with her hands folded over her prayerbook, she said little prayer for her straight young daughter, facing out from the altar with clear, unafraid eyes.
 AS Sidney and Max drew near the door, Joe Drummond, who had been standing at the back of the church, turned quickly and went out. He stumbled, rather, as if he could not see.

CHAPTER x-continued.

She got up quickly, and, trailing her long satin train across the floor, bolted the door. Then from inside her cor sage she brought out and held to Sid- ney letter. Special delivery. Read it."
 It was very short; Sidney read it at glance:
 Ask your future husband if he knows a girl at 213 - avenue.
 Three months before, the Avenue would have meant nothing to Sidney. Now she knew. Christine, more so- phisticated, had always known.
 .sYou see," she said. "That's what I'm up against"
 Quite suddenly Sidney knew who the girl at 213 - Avenue was. The paper she held in her hand was hospi- tai paper with the heading torn off. The whole sordid story lay before her i: Grace Irving, with her thin face and cropped hair, and the newspaper on the floor of the ward beside her!
 She picked up her veil and set the coronet on her head. Sidney stood with the letter in her hands. One of Ks answers to her hot question had been this: '"There is no sense in look ing back unless it helps us to look ahead. What your little girl of the ward has been is not so important as what she is going to be-"
 "Even granting this to be true" she said to Christine slowly--"and it may only be malicious, after all, Chgis- tine-it's surely over and done with. It's not Palmer's past that concerns you now-it's his future with you, isn't it?"
 Christine had finally adjusted her veil, She rose and put her hands on Sidneys shoulders.
 'The simple truth is," she said qui-
The Pulaskian., 1917-06-15

gether. With very little encourage ment, Sidney talked of K. She was pleased at Miss Harrison's friendly tone, glad that things were all right between them again. At her floor she put a timid hand on the girls arm.
 T was afraid I had offended you or displeased you," she said. "Im so glad it isn't so."
 Carlotta shiyered under her hand.
 
 Things were not going any too well with K. True, he had received his promotion at the office, and with this present affiuence of $22 week he was able to do several things. Mrs. Rosen- field now washed and ironed one day a week at the little house, so that Katie might have more time to look after Anna. He had increased also the amount of money that he periodically sent east.
 So far, we'll enough. The thing that ranked and filled him with a sense of failure was Max Wilson's attitude. It was not unfriendly; it was, indeed consistently respectful, almost rever- eDtial. But he clearly considered Le Moyne's position absurd.
 There was no true comradeship be- tween the two men but there was be- ginning to be constant association, and lately a certain amount of friction. They thought differently about almost everything.
 Wilson began to bring all his prob lems to Le Moyne. There were long consultations in that small upper room. Perhaps more than one man or woman who did not know of Ks exist ence owed his life to him that fall.
 Under Ks direction, Max did mar vels. Cases began to come in to him from the surrounding towns. To hls own daring was added a new and re- markable technique. But Le Moyne, who had found resignation il not con- tent, was once again in touch with the work he loved. There were times when, having thrashed case out to- gether and outlined the next days work for Max, he would walk for hours into the night out over the hills, fight ing his battle. The longing was on him to be in the thick of things again. The thought of the gas office and It's deadly round sickened him.

She turned, on her way out of the locker room, and shot a quick glance at Sidney.

 "Yes."
 T thought so {; I had heard you speak of the house. Your-your brother was standing on the steps,"
 Sidney laughed.

 He had even taken another name. It had hit him hard, for sure.

 sidney stood for a moment, her eyes on the letter she held. Already, in ner new philosophy. she had learned nany strange things. One of them was this-that women like Grace IT, s.ng dld not betray their lovers; that .ne code of the underworld was "death ~ ene squealer;" that one played the saine, and won or lost, and if he lost, 'ook his medicine. If not Grace, then wno9 Somebody else in the hospital VI, mno Knew her story, of course. But "nos And again-why?

CHAPTER xI.

The supper at the White Springs ho- tel had not been the last supper Car lotta Harrison and Max Wilson had taken together. Carlotta had selected for her vacation a small town within easy motoring distance of the city, and two or three times during her two weeks off duty Wilson had gone out to see her. He liked being with her. She stimulated him. For once that he could see Sidney, he saw Carlotta twice.
 She had kept the affair well in hand. She was playing for high stakes. She knew quite well the kind of man with whom she was dealing-that he would pay as little as possible. But she knew, too, that, let him want thing enough, he would pay any price for it, even marriage.
 She was very slzillful. The very ar- dor in her face was in her favor. Be- hind her eyes lurked cold calculation. She would put the thing through, and show those pulling nurses, with their pious eyes and evening prayers, a thing or two.
 During that entire vacation he never saw her in anything more elaborate than the simplest of white dresses modestly open at the throat, sleeves rolled up to show her satiny arms. There were no other boarders at the little farmhouse. She sat for hours in the summer evenings in the square yard filled with apple trees that bor- dered the highway, carefully posed over book, but with her keen eyes always on the road. She read Brown ing, Emerson, Swinburne. Once he found her with a book that she has tily concealed. He insisted on seeing it, and secured it. It was book on brain surgery. Confronted with it, she blushed and dropped her eyes. His de- lighted vanity found in 1t the most in- sidious of compliments, as she had in- tended.
 q feel such an idiot when am with you" she said. q wanted to know little more about the things you do."
 That put their relationship on new and advanced basis. Thereafter he occasionally talked surgery instead of sentiment. He found her responsive, intelligent. His work, sealed book to his women before, lay open to her. Now and then their professional dis cussions ended in something different. The two lines of their interest con- yerged.
 "Gadi" he said one day. 'T look forward to these evenings. I can talk shop with you without either shocking or ,nauseating you. You are the most intelligent woman know-and one of the prettiest."
 The one element Carlotta had left out of her calculations was erself. She had known the man, had t1Ken the situation at it's proper value. But into her calculating ambition had come new and destroying element. She who. like K. in his little room on the Street, had put aside love and the things thereof, found that 1t would not put

DARING EFFORT
AT HOLD UP

Millville, N. j., Aug. 14-Three
masked highwaymen made a daring
attempt to hold UP Henry Mohr and
companion who were motoring on
Carmel turnpike, a mile west of the
Millville tollgate, late last night, and
but for. Mohr's nerve they would have
been successful.
Standing in the road, the robbers
commanded the autoist to stop, and
Mohr slowed down as if to comply.
AS he approached within a few feet
of the men ne threw on full power,
the machine shot forward and one of
the highwaymen was struck and
knocked several feet and the other
two barely escaped. The authorities
were notified and the police traced
the men from the lonely spot, where
the hold-up was attempted, to a corn
field, where the trail was lost. Mohr
believes that the man who was hit
was seriously injured.

SEALER IS
KEPT BUSY
Big Wagon Scales Now
inspected.
OIL PUMPS TOO.
Charles Fort is Kept Going Over
Entire County Testing Scales
and Measures.

Charles H. Fort, Cumberland Coun-
ty Superintendent of Weights and
Measures is kept busy these days in
making tests of scales and measures.
Just now Mr.. Fort is obliged to
closely inspect wagon scales as many
tomatoes and other produce are
hauled in wagons are sold by weight.
In Cumberland County there are
no less than 116 wagon scales and
they are scattered over the entire
county. In making an official test of
any one of these scales, Mr.. Fort is
required to carry with him and use
1000 pounds of weights. To go from
one extreme of the county to the 9th
er for this heavy work requires much
time.
Another important pnasei of the Su-
perintendent's work at this time is
the testing of the automatic gasoline
pumps which are scattered all about
the county, some of them in most iso-
lated places.
With four gasoline and oil compan-
les with headquarters in Bridgeton
and all of them after business, it is
readily understood that these auto
matte pumps are increasing all of the
time. Mr.. Fort says that there are
four adjustments of these pumps
which must be tested to insure ac-
curacy. However, he says that the
pumps now being operated are gen.
orally to be depended upon.
Ice wagon scales is another bit of
the important work of the Sealer of
Weights and Measures at this season
of the year. These scales, Mr.. Fort
says, are surprisingly accurate and
seldom get out of order despite the
severe tests that are given them. Mr..
Fort says that these ice wagon scales
are now very expensive.

WILL CONTROL
WHEAT AND FLOUR

Washington, Aug .13.-The food ad-
ministration announced it's plan for
controlling wheat, flour and bread,
revealing that the Government is pre-
pared to take over the whole 1917
wheat harvest, if necessary, to con-
serve the supply, obtain just prices
for Americas fighting forces and their
allies, and reduce costs to the general
public in the United States.
Establishing of buying agencies at
all the principal terminals, licensing
OF elevators and mills, fixing of a
price to be considered fair, regula-
ton of the middleman and of grain
exchanges, with the elimination of
trading in futures, are the Chief fea-
lures of the plan. The licensing will
begin on September 1.
The minimum price of So for wheat
fixed by Congress does not become ef-
fective until next year, but the Ad-
ministration purposes exercising a
very thorough control over this years
crop through powers conferred under
the food and export control bills.

The LATEST STYLE
WATERMfLONS

Washington, D. c., Aug. 15.-Don't
refuse to buy a watermelon just be-
cause the stem looks as if it had been
dabbed with blush starch paste. is
the advice the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is giving to
housewives. Even if the melon is
somewhat smeared with the same
substance it's contents are not affect
ed. Painting the stems of watermeI-
ons with a paste made out of blue
stone and starch is Uncle Sans lat
est agricultural style. This treatl
ment prevents stem-end rot of water
melons which in the past has caused
vast losses in this fruit in transit to
market. The little dab of starch
paste or possibly of Bordeaux paste,
therefore, is to be taken rather as
evidence that the shipper wished to
make sure that the melons reached
market free from this rot. Some
growers in hurry, smear some of
the paste on the outside rind of the
melon but this does no damage be-
yond lessening its attractive appear
ance.

TROUBLE IN
COMPANY |

Camp Edge, Sea Girt, Aug. 14.-All
train schedules for the movement of
the New Jersey troops south have
been prepared. All that will be re-
quired to set the troops on the way
to Admission, Ala, is the receipt of
orders from the war department set
ting in motion the transportation of
the men and directing in what man.
ner they shall proceed. How soon this
will be done is only conjectural in
tnis camp as yet. The general belief
is that it will be very soon, some Of
the units going out this week.
Brigadier General Gather, COM
manding the Maryland troops, includ-
ed in the eighth division under the
provisional command of Brigadier
General Charles w. Barber, of New
Jersey, whose headquarters are here,
came to Sea Girt today for confer
ence with General Barber.
Official action taken while the
movement was in its infancy prob
ably averted serious dissension in the
ranks of the Atlantic City company
of the Third regiment infantry today.
Owing to physical examinations, both
Captain lob and Lieutenant Read, of
the company, were discharged, and it
left the bulk of the work on Leuten-
ant Errico's soldiers. Colonel Thom-
as D. Landon, commanding the regi-
ment, detailed Lieutenant Shoemak-
er, from the Bridgeton company, to
assist Lieutenant Errico.
Murmurings in the ranks while the
men were at drill caused Lieutenants
Errico and Shoemaker to seek the
trouble, and it was found that the
men were inclined to make trouble.
The articles of war were read to the
men and the militant were soon
squelched, but it is likely that some
of the non-comms, who are believed
to have been implicated in the threat
ened disturbances, may be denoted.

OYSTERS Will :
Be HIGHER

Early next month the Maurice River
Oyster Association will hold it's regular
meeting and discuss costs of oyster
propagation, and following this meet
ing the price for the oysters for the
Fall season will be announced. There
is little doubt but that the market
prices will be greater than heretofore.
Cost of labor and equipment has gone
up tremendously, and there will have
to be added prices to meet this stu.
atio.. Then the State authorities are
considering placing a tax upon oyster
beds. This will add to the expenses
incurred in the business.
Over in New York the Oyster Asso-
citation has already announced that
the prices for oysters this Fall will in
crease from % to 35 per cent.
Oysters are said to be in very good
shape, and should be in fine condition
for the early Fall run.
