The first American officer to De
killed in France was Lieutenant Fitz-
simmons of Kansas City, who lost his
life when German airmen bombed hos
pitfalls in the rear of the British line
where he was stationed as a medical
officer in charge Of wounded. The
first American noncommissioned Off
Ger to lose his life in the overseas ex-
petition was Sergt. Patrick Cassidy
of Syracuse, N. Y. The first Ameri-
can private soldier to give up his life
for his country in France was Private
James Tracy Of Philadelphia. The
first American soldier to win the
French war cross with palms, awarded
for conspicuous gallantry, was Private
John McClain of Peekskill, N. Y. All

they'll be back soon, do your"
He looked down the road hopefully,
but whether hopeful they would re-
turn, or wouldn't, the" twins could not
have told. At any rate, he seemed
quite impatient until they were ready
to start, and then, very gayly, the
three wendell their way out the pretty
country road toward the creek and
Blackbird lane. They had good time !;
the twins always did insist that no one
on earth was quite so entertaining as
dear old Duckie, but in her heart Carol
registered solemn vow to have it out
with Fairy when she got back. She
had no opportunity that night. Fairy
and Gene telephoned that they would
not be home for dinner, and the pro-
fessor had gone, and the twins were
sleeping soundly, when Fairy crept
softly up the stairs.
But Carol did not forget her VOW.
Early the next morning she stalked
grimly into Fairy's room, where Fairy
was conscientiously bringing order out
of the chaos in her bureau drawers, q
thing Fairy always did after a perfect
ly happy day. Carol knew that, and it
was with genuine reproach in her voice
that she spoke at last, after standing
for some two minutes watching Fairy
as she deftly twirled long ribbons
about her fingers and then laid them in
methodical piles in separate corners of
the drawers.
FAIRY" she said sadly, "you don't
seem very appreciative, some way.
Here Larkie and have tried so hard
to give you genuine opportunity
we've worked and schemed and kept
ourselves in the background, and that's
the way you serve us It's disappoint-
ing. It's downright disheartening."
Fairy folded blue veil and laid it
on top of white one. Then she turned.
Yes. Whatf She inquired coolly.
There are so few real chances for a
woman in Mount Mark, and we felt
that this was once in a lifetime. And
you know how hard we worked. And

suggested hopefully. "We can be out

Come on. Let's beat it." He looked
around with a worried air. "Hurry, or
the twins'll get u.s."
Fairy hesitated, and was lost. Gene
grabbed her hand, and the next in
slant, laughing, they were crawling un-
der the fence at the south corner Of
the parsonage lawn just as the twins
appeared at the barn door. They
stopped. They gasped. They stared
at each other in dismay.
