WELL EQUIPPED FOR DEFENSE
British Adopt Defensive Measures for Big Aircraft That Have Been
 Considered Easy Prey.

The helplessness of dirigibles in the face of airplane attacks may be con- sidered matter of the remote past. It seems that dirigibles of the near future will carry fast single scatter fighting airplanes along with them for the purpose of defending them selves against airplane attacks.
 The British, who appear to have taken the lead in dirigible construc- tion and operation away from. the Germans, have been carrying on ex- tensive experiments with airplanes carried by dirigibles. The giant air ship R-34-the dirigible which crossed the Atlantic last summer carries an airplane suspended below it. The air plane can be reached by passing through trapdoor and down a swing ing ladder. At the opportune moment the airplane, with motor going at proper speed, is released from the dirigible, and after a very slight drop goes forth on its own flight.
 The disadvantage, of course, is that once the plane Is launched 1t is not possible for 1t to return to the airship, so that the latter will be as much at the mercy of second attack from hostile planes as under old conditions. Scientific American.

The Man Johanna Married
By THOMAS WALTON

 Co. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate, , Johanna had listened so long to the
 regrets of her friends on her own un- married state that she was distinctly tired of it. So, when her twenty-tifth birthday came around she packed her trunks and went abroad with friend for an indefinite period of time. The real shock came year later when Miss Dorsay wrote that Johanna had married an army officer who had
 since been killed in the war. Then. they had no further news of the widow
 until. two years later, shortly after the signing of the armistice, she re turned to .Millbrook.
 It was her friend. Miss DOrsay, who was obliged to satisfy the curlous minds and inquiring friends that filled the town where they lived; Johanna showed no inclination to talk about herself and even the most inquisitive
 dared not venture too far. The young widow had immediately interested herself in welfare work among the children and in a few months she had done wonders with the poorer families in the towns where she worked.
 One early winter afternoon about year after Johanna's return from over seas, she was sitting in front of the fire in her cozy living room, reading book. There was snow in the air outside.
 There was a quick. decided step on the porch and violent ring at the bell. A moment later the maid usher ed in a tall blond man in the uniform of an army officer.
 Are you Mrs. Richard Carhart?' he asked, in a deep, pleasant voice.
 II am. And may 1 ask who you are?" slight foreboding chilled the usual richness of JOhanna's voice. "T am Captain Richard Carhart,"
 he returned promptly, noting how at

 give me little time to think things
 over I'll try to repair the harm I've
 done you"
 There was brief rap at the door
 and Mrs. Jimmy Barton walked into
 the room without further ceremony.
 This is Captain Carhart." faltered
 Johanna.
 "Her husband" explained that gen
 tleman cheerfully. II was reported
 dead by mistake-always making
 stupid mistakes like that at the war office." "Why, how perfectly lovely! You
 two must have lot to talk about, so
 I'll run along Goodnight, dear; I'm
 so glad for you"
 Don't worry" Carhart treasured
 Johanna. when she had said good night to Mrs. Jimmy. You can get
 rid of me easily enough. but l thought 1t would be less hard for you if we
 pretended everything was all right just
 now. There is no need to tell any one else the story you told me and to- morrow you can find out am no good i or something else that will fix 1t up all right for you. Don't think any more about it now." "Oh, can't ever thank you for be- ing so wonderful about it." cried Jo- , hanna passionately. "I never knew men could be so unselfish befOre!" 'I'm not unselfish, JOhanna-I'm as
 selfish as the rest of them, for now that find I have a wife I don't want to give her up Ever since saw you I've been wishing that you really were my Mrs. Carhart. And right now Pm wishing it harder than ever. Please don't divorce me"
 And can only think of one thing" he told her as he leaned over and took ! both her hands in his: "I love yon, love you-love you"
 The door opened and the lean Miss Peckham, who had heard the news ] from Mrs. Jimmy, and had come over
 to congratulate Johanna. looked In on them.

 tractive she looked, with her black hair against the gay chintz of the high backed chair.
 ''But my Richard Carhart was killed in action," she almost pleaded. 'So was I; that is, they thought I was, but in reality I was in German prison camp"
 Johanna was white to the lips. II don't understand" she told him. Tt does seem a bit thick" he ad-
 mitted cheerfuliy. You see, I was over in Greenbush featuring for the benefit of something and fellow told me there was a woman with the same name as mine over here and asked if we were related. I told him thought so and then hurried over to look you up. I wish you wouldn't be so beastly upset over the thing; but I would like to know when and how you married me-"
 "1'1 tell to you everything if you'll be patient with me. I'm so ashamed and it's dreadfully hard, but I won't spare myself"
 The she began and briefly sketched her early lonely years in Millbrook and her final departure for other lands.

I began to think that there was something lacking iD my makeup and I should never care for any one. Then one day I met a boy-I always think of him as boy. although he was really my own age he was a darling and every one ador- ed him. He fell in love with me and begged and begged me to marry him, but I couldn't seem to care for him the way I ought to. But he followed me everywhere and gave me no peace and pleaded with me till I almost be- lieved I was beginning to care for him. So, at last, we became engaged" Jo- hanna stopped and caught her breath sharply in dry sob.

new home, and are enjoying their
honeymoon in making frequent trips
to McClusky and Minot.
Chris Bowman, while working on
the road near his home last Saturday,
was badly poisoned through eating
meat which proved later to have been
considerably tainted. AS soon as he
became aware that he was danger

fore reaching the yard, was in con-
WILSON'S. Those who endeavored to
help him into the house, could not
unclasp his hands from the harness
lines, and were obliged to cut them
loose. His father and mother were
summoned and gave him what they
believed to be the best emergency
treatment. There appearsato have
been considerable delay in locating a
doctor, but later on in the day, he was
placed under medical treatment, and
pronounced to be out of danger. He
is still very weak from the effects of
his illness, but hopes to be out and
at work within few days.
