The cement dip put in near Lloyd n
few months ago by popular %subscrip-
ton, was washed out last week and
the residents of that community will
appear before the county commission
ers to ask for IA bridge or another
cement crossing. This road is used
by a large number of farmers from
the plains rs well as from the imme-
date vicinity and there is no doubt
about the commissioners seeing the
advisability of putting in the crossing
and making it passable. Since the
cement dip was put in it had become
one of the main thoroughfares and
it has been quite u disappointment. 1t
vas thought its destruction vas next
to impossible, but sometimes nature
does impossible things.

ONE HUNDREDTH
CHAPTER.

DR.. Certeis dined with us tonight
and Daddy L.orfmer detailed Bob's e1-
perience with shell shock.
shell shock fescinates the brain
! specialist" said Certeis. 'fBoth the
genius and the coward fan easy vic
TINS to shell shock, and all the cases
between these two types are indiyid-
indifferent The more sensitive
a mans nature, the more refined, deli
cate, impressionable-the harder that
man is to cure"
Bob was always a temperamentsl
duck" Daddy put in. Gets genius
from his mother. Always a forgetful
cuss, too. Gets that from me" he
rambled on jovia11y.
l knew Daddy meant wen. He was
trying to tell me, indirectly, that per
haps Bob had failed to write to me be
cause he was still suffering from shell
shock.
My cheeks were flushed and my
eyes, I suppose, as round as those Of
a bewildered child. The idea was
new to me, it confused but it did not
at DR.. Certeis. His intuftioa is certain
sibly guess the details OF my trouble,
but he looked quickly from Daddy TO
ne and then smiled on me with inten-
tional deliberateness-acd my misery
faded away-as If had been hypno-
tized.
why should worry about Bob II
he doesn't worry about me?" I asked
myself Bob may not understand
me-but here is man who does. who
, has for long time, and who persists
in spite of encouragement.
Later in the evening DR.. Certeis
came and leaned over me as snug
gled il corner OF the big divan near
lamp ead stitched away on small
garment designed for one Of the lay
cites the Red Cross is asking for.
do not worry about Bob he said,
putting my own resolve into words.

Doubtless Bob Is quite recovered by
, this time. He viii be home soon. And
I shall have lost my chance Of being
CAVALIER for war bride. Now
there's Cali CurcE
I smiled up at him encouTagtngly.
'HTomorro Wright"
Instead OF Tutoring nervously and
swinging the talk to The art OF CALI
Curci, as might easiy have done, as
l certainly would have done week
ago, I smiled some more. It takes
mighty little encouragement to carry
Certeis on a way he wants to go. But
on the whole, thought, isn't that just
the reason I like Certeis so much?
He goes after what he wants-and he
gets it.
perhaps you will let me take you
to the Cali Curci concert Jeanne?"
Surely / viii" responded gayly.
'T'm perfectly wild to go-and Daddy
just hates sinGing-and Chrys Is Gfraid
Of the du-and Mother Lodmer is
working so hard in the food saving
campaign that she is TOO tired to take
mel"
1 realized that my long string Of
reasons sounded a little like excuses,
but IL Certeis felt the same way, he
did not betray it.
'Thank you" he said simply. as our
fingers touched in a perfectly formal
good night.
81 can't find reason why you
should not go. Jane dear" said Mother.
when put the case to her. "Dr. Ger
tets Is Daddy's best friend-and our
little Jane lisa girl of common sense.
Just to foil the gossiperS, my dear, Ill
ask the doctor to dinner again tomor-
row"
We're I really a girl Of common
sense, would have owned up that
minute that Cali Curci was the least
fthe concerts attractions for me and
that the main reason why should not
go out alone with Certe1s was that I
so very much wanted to go.

WHEN THE KAISER LEFT BERLIN.
The ostrich is the swittest FOWL
Is speed = mile = minute;
But when It ran with Kaiser BIN
The ostrich wasn't IN It
Before the second mile stone post
The ostrich was all In;
It plainly saw the game was lost
When the Kaiser left Berlin
The locomotive had its day rs
The auto has surpassed,
The dSfn gmachine was next IN line
But William It out claSsed-
When Yankee cannons looked at BIZ.
Then belched such awful thunder.
They shook the dome about his throne
And BIN began to wonder.
Just where to seek some safe place
Where buildings wasn't fallen,
He told his aids to follow him
Then made rash for Holland
His new host didn't welcome him,
They knew OF his awful sin;
They turned away their heads in dis
From the tyrant of Berlin.
The HindenbuFg line had gone to
smash,
The watch on the Rhine" departed,
A new era was slowly usher1ng In
When Kaiser william started.
He saw his sun had set in the west,
And he thought Of the kind he'd been
How me and Colt would rule the world,
But the Kaiser left Berlin.
