cockpit and caught a glimpse of her,
sitting upon the axle.

answered him He drew the throttle
open gradually, fearful Of dislodging
her, and then commenced to climb.
With their altitude of 5000 feet re-
gained, he leaned out once more
Just in time to see her start down the
rope. which she had tied to the axle.
He could see that she had looped the
other end of the rope about her
ankle.
Apparently she was planning to go
down the rope-perhaps dangle there
head downward, waving the hand
kerchief which she held in her mouth,
while he circled over the grandstand

Harry Myrick had done the same
stunt the day before-only he drop
ped from the end of the rope, fell
several hundred feet and opened a
parachute.

the bracing wire she turned in the

Red slapped the throttle shut. Go

shouted.
Red caught a glimpse of tensed
face, white except for the stark in

her cheeks
She was clutching the rope desper-
ately, hugging it; then dizziness
sapped her strength and she slipped
downward. Yards below him, at the
, end of her rope. she swung in space,
huddled into a little ball.
The earth was approaching rapidly.

Hang on I've got to go up again"
With the engine pulling she COM

head bobbed weakly.
Red, sick with fear, was holding the
plane in a steep climb, staring down
at her. Mortified, when her grasp
upon the rope slackened. With black
unconsciousness flooding her mind,
she toppled over Imply. The jerk of
her body against the rope sent a

streamed out in the wind.

the spring time so we been having
quite orgy of birthdays and gen
orally always when they's one in

he would like for presents and most
always the reply is a pony or a
sail boat or a parrot or something
else that they amt no chance of him
getting.
But the I'd boy is different and
today is his birthday and we asked
him a wk. ago what would he like
and he says he would like something
that would clean the rust off his
bicycle. That is the way he has
always been and will always be the
same way, not wanting nothing and
nothing is probably what he will get.

it was about time we was getting a,
new vehicle to ride the kiddies back

ono we had been using for that pur-
pose the last or 4 yrs. was acting
kind of sullen so we called up the
man and told him to bring around
a so and so and we asked him could
we trade in our old one and he looked
at same and kind of swallowed hard
but says yes but he would half to

THERE was a moment in which Red

the chautauqua had stayed a couple
of weeks extra. Last Sunday they

road and several passerbys thought
we must be having auction or

picnicers pointed to our cow and says
oh look mamma they have got COW

Well you can't stay very mad when

Speaking about the COW this amt
Elossie the one we had, but a bran
new one as Flossie had finely became
lust a ornament. The new one don't
seem to be no special brand and amt
got no family tree or nothing. She
is plain black and when we first got
her we left it to the kiddies to give
her a name and they thought it over
all one day and then give her the
name Blackie.
Kids will think of the d-t things
But for some reason another Blackle
don't seem to like her name, at lease
she acts mad all the time and has
showed signs of a vengeful spirits.
1t seems that on some parts OF the
estate they's quite a growth OF what
they call wild garlic which no COW
could possibly enjoy eating it but
Blackie eats it to get even and
will say she gets even. Sometimes

Myrick braced against the pressure
wheels upon the track, grabbed Bulbs
collar once more and arose in his
seat, with his right hand clasping the
knife.
He could see Red, peering over the
edge of the fuselage, gauging speed
and distance, dangling his limp,

Zoe de Lorme was directly above

burst of applause shook the big

struck up a march, keeping time with

Harry Myrick made his way to the
