This STARTS THE STORY

A British sublieutenant is sent up
o lookout in an observation balloon
by cruiser patrollng the North sea
10 the summer of 1914. The cable
holding the balloon breaks, and after
drifting for hours in the clouds the
sublieutenant sees land and, using a
parachute, lands safely in a pasture,
meets man and, thinking he has
landed on enemy territory, addresses
him in German. The man warns him
not to do this, uses password which
the sublieutenant cannot answer and
leaves him, but not before the officer
has discovered he is on British terri
tory and the man is German spy.
He secures food and shelter at small
house on the beach, where he learns
one Kendall owns the island"
which is one of group used as a
British naval base. He determines
to find Kendall. On his way he
meets an old ''patriarch" who asks
for wax match" one O'Brien
and Doctor Kendall, cousin of the
owner Of the island, who further
arouse bis suspicious. Assuming the
accent and gruff manner of Hun,
be arrives at the Kendall mansion,
where he meets Mr.. Kendall and his
daughter, who are friendly but re-
served and suspicious toward him.
They give him quarters until he can
.attend to his secret business. On
Sunday he goes to church with the
Rendalls and wonders why the ''pa-
triarch," O'Brien and Doctor Rem
dali are not there. After dinner Sun
day night Mr.. Kendall goes out to
patrol the coast against submarines.

however, to get in front of Billy and
form with his mouth the words: Dan

But Billy was so intent upon finding
the pot of gold that he didn't heed
the warning, and Judge Owl fapped
disgustedly to perch on the tall pine
tree.
'If only had a spade, I'd find that
pot of gold in hurry" said Billy.

went around listening with one ear tc
the ground as If he thought he could
hear the pot of gold as he heard moving

at Mr.. Robin, but he listened and lis :
tened, being rewarded by hearing sew
eral fat worms which he promptly
pulled out and gobbled up.

The name "Waverley Novels, was
largely accidental Scott was famous
as poet before he published his first
novel. When he decided to try novel
writing he began story which he called
"Waverley,' getting the name from an
old Waverley, abbey that he was ac-
quainted with. After beginning the
story he was discouraged from complet-
ing it, and laid it aside and resumed
the writing of poetry. Nine years later
he CHANGED upon the manuscript of the
opening chapters of "Waverley," and
iH about month it was finished and
was published without the name of the
author. II was success, and was fol-
lowed in rapid succession by other
novels by the author of "wayerley.n
but without his name. The entire series
thus became known as the "Wayerley
Novels, the mysterious author being
referred to as "The Great Unknown"
and it was nearly fifteen years from
the publication of "waverley'' before
the name of the author became publicly
known.
An insulating material made from
milk curds has been invented in Rus

The real name of the Confederate
general commonly called Stonpwall Jack
son was Thomas Jonathan jackson.
He acquired the nickname of Stonewall
from the obstinate stand he made with
his troops in one of the early battles
of the Civil War. He met his death from
being accidentally shot by his own men
in the battle of Charlottesville, MAY 2.

She seemed as though she were going

"Oh, we shall meet some one very
soon. l think father is taking this

But we met no one, and as we pur-
sued our lonely way I began to think
that here was quite possible reason
for my not having come upon one OF

it was only a possible reason; the other
alternative remained.
