tional balloon race scheduled to start
from Birmingham, Alabama, this
month and the international contest
for balloonists to start from the same
city in October are expected by aero
club officials in charge Of the races

CONFESSIONS
- OF A BRIDE
Chrys may be cured be-
fore the picture in the
hacienda's chapel.

Several days went by before they
thought me well enough to see my sister
in-law. I entered her room with some
thing of awe in my demeanor. What
would she be like, this woman without
a soul?
To tell the truth, she wasn't much I'M
like some girls I had known who were
supposed to be quite normal!
She came to meet me with outstretched
arms. She kissed me, but there was no
emotion in her kiss. What she did was
due to habit, Bob told me afterward. We
communicated by signs aud in writing.
Once her dumbness would have driven
Der to suicide, I thought AS 7 studied her.
minus her SOUL she accepted her speech
lessness quite tamely. Physically, she
was lovelier than ever, but 1t didn't take
me long to discover that the big intel
lectual interests a. life which had alb
sorbed her, formerly, had disappeared
with, her lost soull
Her thoughts were centered upon her
clothes, her fOoJ, her comforts and her
luxuries. How she regarded Certeis, l
had no opportunity to judge.
LET er get back her speech and Chrys
will be as charming as most women"
was Bob's comment, made when we were
alone. She was his twin. l knew how
he missed her distinguished mind and
her great range of interests her knowl-
edge of books and of the arts, her eager
ness to pick up new ideas quickly
Daddy Lorimer wept.
"She can read her old radical nonsense
she can be as independent as she
pleases-without any reproOf from me,
If ever we get her back again-our self
willed, stubborn Chrys," he said.
OF course, we all wanted TO go home.
But we were held in that hacienda by
Chrys' condition. Until Donna Camillas
spell was undone by Donna Camillas
own will, Chrys would remain as she
was, d we would remain ct the haci-
enda.
Donna Camilla had been unearthed by
the explosion, it appeared. Like one of
the ancient rats, she lad come scurry-
ing out Of her hole, tha- dreadful night,
and had disappeared again A nurse re
ported me that she had seen her. What
had suspected all along proved true. I
told the story to Daddy and Bob.

pened to your sister. It's up to me, dear,

to locate the ancient hypnotist, even in
that labyrinth Of adobe buildings, which
altogether made quite little village.
Many a cripple had been cured before
the miraculous picture In the hacienda's
famous chapel. Crippies had knelt be-
fore the painting above the altar-had
knelt-and thrown away their crutches.
The insane had lost their madness there.
The cures were authentic. I had seen
them mentioned more than once in the
papers.
Doubtless Donna Camilla had her hid

ulous pictured Doubtless hers was the
power which had cured the sick-even
as she must cure our Chrys.-Copyright,
