the station. May was late as usual
and Mrs. Stevens was hurTytng them
along. Each carried a heavy suitcase
The darky piled the bags on the seat
beside him. They climbed in. When
Ii closed the door the glass broke In
a thousand pieces. He only grinned.
"Hurry!" exclaimed Mrs. Stevens
I'VE must get our train"
There had been sleet the night be-
fore and the street was very slippery
The crazy vehicle sid from side to
side, while its occupants were con-
vulsed with laughter. They enjoyed
the primitive way Of living. Then bang
went something, and the girls, with
showers OF broken glass, were precipi-
tated On poor Mrs. Stevens.
When they could separate them
selves they saw the horses running
down the street, with the darky pull
ing on the reins. The three suitcases
were sliding after them. The tongue
of the carriage had gone with the
horses.
The shock of the fall had jammed
the lock tight and they were unable
TO open the door. They could hear the
whistle of the train They must take
1t.
May called to man in uniform
who was hurrying down the street.
He looked at them and laughed. Then
went to their assistance.
Jean recognized him as Billy West
erman of the night before. Mrs.
Stevens explained their predicament.
The you:Iy man could not unfasten
the lock, so he kicked it in with his
foot.
Each woman grabbed "a bag and ran
for the train; the young knight help
/ ing first one and then another, but
! helping Jane the most. He asked her:
Didn't 1 see you at the hop last
night'%
Gaspingly she answered: Eyes, !
saw you, too.
By this time they were half-block
from the station and could see the
conductor with his hands on the bell
rope ready to pull It.
Billy gave shrill whistle. The man
hesitated and saw the frantic and ex-
hausted women running, their faces
contorted with merriment. Even Billy
was painting.
Thanks" they mumbled to the con
Guctor.
The women climbed on and stood
immovable on the platform while the
Porter threw the bags on their feet.
Billy jumped after them.
Frantic shouts arrested 'Ieir at
tention. They saw their driver run
ming after the train.
"Pay you tomorrow" shrieked
Billy.
The darkesDs face broke into a vt
isfied grin.
II must extricate you, again." Billy
removed the luggage from six tired
feet and found seats for their own
ers.
"Permit me to introduce myself
he smiled and handed his card to
Mrs. Stevens. She read; Midshpmar

Annapolis, Maryland.
Mrs. Stevens presented him to May
Soh,S said May "then you know
Roy BIoomer. have heard all about
you"
They laughed and chatted on the
way to Washington. Billy learned that
they were all going again for the hop
in February.
MAY l claim my dances, now?" he
asked. 7 won't trespass too much on
Roy's preserves, said he, as he took
three dances from May, the same
from Mrs. Stevens and while the
others were looking at the scenery he
claimed eight from Jean.

ways has had way of falling into

deaf to what is said to him like a
scholar or genius. Before 1 could
throw off the mental paralysis induc-

"For the love of love, don't act

"Well, if you're anything else

ish, who was killed by q fall from
his horse while serving overse as. 1t
is believed here that the accident hap
pened on German soil now occupied
by the American army of occupa-
ton.
Father Mayotte left here about a
year ago. He was given rating of
first lieutenant and was delighted at
the opportunity offered him to go
overseas for service with the fighting
forces.
One who knew him well said that
Father Mayotte expressed his belief,
just before he went away, that he
rever would return. Letters receiv-
ed in Putnam from him since he went
overseas have been intensely inte-
| Resting.
Some of them contained accounts
| of his experiences under shell fire and
ir the trenches and what he said in
dica ted he was up among the men
of the army who We're engaged in
actual combat.
Father Mayotte was under 50 years
| Of age and his service in the priest
hood was brief. During the short
period that he was in Putnam he be-
came very popular with the members
of st. Mary's parish and while al
were proud of his volunteering fol
service, all also regretted his going
away.
Rev. Charles NJ Bedard, pastor O
