 Y knew how fond Crittcnden was of people who "went to the front" Tor others. He often said Jack Lang ley would "come to the front for him and he would for Jack.
 But his decision that Betty would not was final Nothing on earth, short of seeing her "at the front" for Jack or somebody she cared a lot for ever would convince him. And there he stuck, but I was glad to see later that his remaining doubt of Betty did not seriously in. terfere with the attraction she had for him.
 We saw great deal of Jack and Betty that summer, and of the Boyds, also. Jack prevailed upon Betty to consent to the purchase of road ,ster, and we three couples motored d good deal out into the open coun- try, often spending our week-cnds miles from the city in little out-of- the-way places touched by good roads.
 Now and then my Vesuvius rum
 bled and l felt sure an eruption was coming, but, by dint of careful man. aging on my part, we got through the summer without a serious dis
 turbance. And when fall came l was happier than I had been at any time since I became Crittenden' $ wife,

sion on Crittenden's face that he had enjoyed Betty even more than had hoped he would. I had not ex- pected them to get along so we'll. Occasionally, however, I saw him looking at her in tho same studied way I had observed before as though he was trying to analyze her. found after Jack and Betty left that my inference was cor rect; he had been analyzing her and was ready with an announcement Of the analysis.
 Betty is sweet girl, isn't she ?' 1 remarked. ss '"Um, yes, very sweet, I suppose" said Crittenden, evasively.
 "And pretty?" - aS
 "And pretty, yes"
 "1 was glad to see you were nice to her, Crittenden," I then told him, "and-so was Jack"
 "Jack!"
 "Yes, you know how very keen he is. He startled me tonight by say ing he had an idea you were not very wild about Betty. And he adores her so that l am sure he would resent it if he knew positive ly that you didn't like her."
 "Humph,' grunted Crittenden, his eyes thoughtful. Well, I'd hate to have Jack feel that way"
 Then keep on being nice to Bet ty, dear" I urged. Besides, you will find her delightful, l am sure, and learn to enjoy her"
 "Oh, it's easy enough to be civil to her," he said, in matter of fact tone. "You know, Bess," he then said, "I found out all about her to- night"
 There it was. He was ready with his analysis!

 "We do not see why raise in re- discount rates should bring about such a scramble" he said. "The federal reserve bank rate increas, es are only temporary, whereas re- lations of the bankers with their GUS. toners are supposed to be perma nent."

Chances Planes In Mld-Alr.

The daring maneuver Of jumping
from one airplane to another while
in full flight was recently accomplish
ed by lieutenant Of aviation, and
Is pictured in Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. Climbing down to the under.
carriage Of the machine In which he
had left the ground as passenger,
he reached the horizontal bar of the
landing chassis. Hanging to this, and
executing acrobatic evolutions, he
awaited the approach of second ship
flying at lower level. AS 1t came be-
meath him, he released his hold ana
dropped onto its top plane, landing at
a point near the middle of the right
wing. While he had estimated the
relative speeds Of the two machines
correctly and judged his distance with
out error, 1t still remained for him to
obtain a firm hold, or possibly suffer
the Inconvenience Of falling 5000
feet.
