hands full OF poppies and no one got
by them without placing upon their

AERIAL POLO IS NEW SPORT
AIrpIane-Toy Balloon Game One OF
Features at Recent Legion Enter
tainment In Florida.

Aerial polo Is the latest sport. One
of the chief features of an entertain
ment given by the American Legion at
Miami, Fla, was a game Of polo
staged high in the air, sans mallets,
sans ponies sans ball, sans everything
except a dozen nimble aviators and
several dozen toy balloons.
Every sort of twist from the Immel-
mann turn to the maple-leaf drop is
called into play during the contest.
Here is what happens: A motorboat
loaded with the many-colored balloons
of the proverbial country fair plows
out into the harbor and drops anchor.
From nearby hangers come galloping
a dozen Pegasuses. They take the
air, and when they are equidistant
from the launch, at a safe altitude,
the little balloons are released and go
soaring upward in great confusion on
the wind.
The air rider who captures the
greatest number Is declared the win
ner. The Legion pilots who tried 1t
said that it used to be easier catching
Taubes.

only trif1e less than her cousins.
Things had reached this point when
Justin Little calmly and confidently
claimed that Anne's share was to be
based upon an old loan of Anne's ia
Their to his brother, loan of three
thousand dollars to float Lee Strick-
lands invention, with the understand
ing that Vincent Strickland be subse-
unently entitled to one-third of the re-
turns. AS the patent had been sold
for nearly one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars, one-third of it, with ac-
cumulative interest for ten years, of
which no payment had ever been made
Anne, was large proportion Of the
entire estate, and the development of
this claim, in Justin Titles assured,
wOodeny voice, caused every one to
look grave.
The estate was not worth one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars now,
by any means; it had been reduced to
little more than two-thirds of that
sum, and Anne's bright concern that
every one should be satisfied with
what was right, and her ingenious
pleasure In Justin's cleverness In
thinking of this possibility, were met
with noticeable coldness.
If Anne was wrong, and the paper
she held in her hand worthless, each
girl would inherit a comfortable little
fortune, but if Anne was right, Cherry
and Alix would have only a few thou
sand dollars apiece, and the old home.
The business talk was over before
any of them realized the enormity OF
Anne's contention, and Anne and JUS
tin had departed. But both the old
doctor and the lawyer agreed with
Martin that it looked as If Anne was
right, and when the family was alone
again, and had had the time to digest
the matter, they felt as If thunder
bolt had fallen across their lives.
'"That Anne could do it! !" Alix said.
over and over. Cherry seemed dazed,
spoke not at all, and Martin had said
little.

Of my wife's share-I didn't marry her

"Yes-we must think of darling
Alix I" Anne had said, nervously eager
that there should be no quarrel. IF
Uncle Lee intended me to have all this
money, then l suppose must take it,
but I shan't be happy unless things are
arranged so that Alix shall be COM

"B-but the worst Of it is, Alix"
Cherry stammered, suddenly, on the
day before she and Martin were to

"Why, my darling" Alix exclaimed,
as Cherry began to cry in her arms,

advises it when he gets back, we'll fight
Anne. And then If we win our fight,
I'll always keep the valley house open.
And if we don't, why I'm going to visit
you and Martin every year, and per-
haps I'll have little apartment some
day. don't intend to beard always"
But she was crying, too. Everything
seemed changed, cold and strange; she
had suspected that Cherry's was not a
successful marriage; she knew 1t now,
and to resign the adored little sister
to the unsympathehc atmosphere of
Red Creek. and to miss all the old
life and the old associations. made her
heart ache.
"There's-there's nothing, special,
