 His names Burke,' Tracy said as, after jotting the name on the card, he returned it to Ballin. Tommy Burke, and you can always get him there at that telephone number. We don't hack much with the car, just go out on calls so he keeps in touch with the garage"
 Ballin nodded and passed the card to Frances, who, after lingering it
 moment, tucked it away in her hand
 bag. The action was performed care- lessly enough, but had she been able to look into the future she would have handled that bit of pasteboard with a great deal more respect. Suppose you come back here about

 An elevator shot Ballin and Frances sloft, depositing them on the top floor
 of the building. There they passed down long hall until the man paused f,<fore a door bearing his name and

 small gold letters.

 Frances walked back to the door and stood looking rather curiously around at the room they had first entered.
 It gave one more of an impression that it had beSn designed for a physi- clans waiting room than as a law of- flee. A big table covered with maga- zines confronted one as they entered.

At these hours the balloon. being large, is easily seen, whereas a plane is almost invisible, therefore. a 'strafing' expedition stood a better chance of success than at brighter hours"
 This is the story of Lul<es death as told by French villagers. according to the writer's
 They had seen Luke destroy first three German balloons. and follow that by bringing down two of the many planes which attacked him Cthese are not credited to Luke. as no official evidence was forthcoming): that the aviator had then flown very low and killed eleven Germans. either with hand grenades or mechine gun fire. While thus engaged, he was apparently hit, for he flew lower. and finally landed without damage to his machine. He was immediately surrounded by Germans who called on him to sur

A Christmas Ad From the Fleming Ca ke Shoppe
nv ANNE. .JORDAN.

You have heard that song, 'Tf it's good enough for Pershing, sure, it's good enough for mel
 When General Pershing came to Birmingham, the best of everything was placed before him. The prettiest girls in town graced the banquet table, and the Fleming Cake Shoppe made the beautiful cake.
 When Pershing cut that cake he was almost tempted to remark, q don't feel like the same General that blew into town. I feel like General Satisfaction at present.
 That cake was merely one of a mill lion wonderful cakes that are made in the Fleming Cake Shoppe. The we'd ding cakes are the most beautiful you ever saw, with tiers and turrents of sonwy licings. And the friut cakes are better than the ones that mother used to make,' and with nuts and fruits way up in the pictures at the present price, the Fleming fruit cakes are much cheaper than you could possibly make the same grade cake. They come in boxes glowing with holly, or baskets tied with ribbon. They make delight- full Christmas presents, Just think for yourself, wouldn't it be gorgeous to get a fruit cake for Christmas pres ent?
 If there is any dainty little thing that you have forgotten to buy. and you want to insure perfect delight on the part of the receiver, all you have to do is to suggest the age and type and lovely little Madame Fleming can supply your need right in her gift shop, which she runs in connection with the Cake Shoppe. Boudoir sets, baby caps, nighties and handmade handkerchiefs. and the Oriental gifts from Vantines, carefully selected by a well-bred taste that never misses the best.

The peas ants who told the story didn't know how many he accounted for with his gun. Is it unfair to conclude that the accuracy of fire which brought down IS enemy machines officially and three more not credited, in 17 days. probably took proper toll of those who fought with him his last fight?
