THE DAHL Y NOVELETTE,
Shell Shock
By MARY LONG

CIIIAS ALLEN, of Whitmarsh, had re-
~ ceived telegram, and it was not
long before every one in town had heard
the news. In fact more than two-thirdS
of the inhabitants had read the contents
of the yellow paper which the messen-
ger had brought that morning. 1t said:
"Private Samuel Alien home for three
months furlough. Arrive Whitmarsn
Center, Tuesday, 1l.4o a. IN. Meet"
And nearly every one who had read the
message had volunteered to SO to the
station to meet the hero.

walks every day, and slowly his strength

One especially fine summer day. when
he was feeling much stronger than usual,
he started out to pay visit to his
fathers old friend. Lem Crothers, but
finding the walk stili a little too much

of putty. He climbed out on the wings
of the seapkne and reached up to the
wires. In a moment he had found
the cuts made by the file.
Carl went pale as he saw that his
evil work was discovered. Peggy saw
him move as if to run away. Then.
like an actor, he forced an uncon-
cerned smile to his lips and came to
the side of the machine.
Anything wrong?" he said.
Lieutenant Young stepped back
from the injured wires and looked
Carl full in the face.
What made you think there might
be something wrong?" he asked in a
very calm, very cold voice. you just
said the wires were all right"
That's what the inspector said"
quickly answered Carl.
Lieutenant Young called to the in
speCtor.
INSPECTOR Mordyce. will you kindly
come here?" Lieutenant Young pointed
+ to the wires. Did you give your ap-
proval to these wires?"
The inspector carefully examined
the wires. Then he grew as white as
Carl had been.
Some one has tampered with
them" he whispered to Lieutenant
I Young. The officer, his face set hard
/
out of it. nodded his head. "
That's plain to be SEEM he said.
He looked Carl square in the eye.

Peggy turned eagerly to General

That was enough for General Swal-
low. He darted to Carls shoulder and
seized him by the ear, nipping it
fiercely. The foreman let out a yell of
pain and fear.
"Wow!" he screamed, jumping for

"Humph!" muttered Lieutenant
Young. II half suspected it,

General Swallow nipped his ear
again, and Carl screamed the louder.

cried Peggy. General Swallow let go
Carrs ear and jerked the file partly
out of his jumper pocket. Lieutenant
Young saw it. stepped forward and
took the file. He fitted it to the marks
in the wires. Then nodded his head
and beckoned to two guards.

Lieutenant Young was SO much alb

he did not notice the CLEAN in Carl's

Lieutenant Young had climbed into

'IOu've tested all the wires and
everything" he asked Carl

said Carl, so hypocritically that Peggy
wanted to pinch him. She had to act
quickly to upset his plot.
Give me boost to the lieutenant's
shoulder" she cried to General Swal-
low. He fluttered above her and she
graSped his legs. He rose into the
air lifting her to the cockpit that in
closed the officer and the controls with
which he worked the seaplane. Peggy
leaned far over and shouted:

Motors popping within the factory
drowned her tiny voice so that it
scarcely got through Lieutenant
Young's aviator helmet. Yet he heard
her and looked around to sec who
was speaking. OF course she was in

thought his imagination was playing
tricks on him. SO he prepared to start
his engine.

The warning worried Lieutenant

just a fancy of his mind. He exam
