iors, but not with himself. He had paid
for the plane he had wrecked, but he still
owed himself one. Soon he collected that
one and another and another. He was on
velvet now; death could not prevent HIM
from quitting the game winner.
In going four years and bringing down
fifty-five machines, it might seem strange
that he did not get over the idea that
death had marked him. All that time he
became more convinced of it, because
death was constantly swapping at nm,
nicking out bits of bone and muscle with
shrapnel and machine-gun bullets, but
never touching a vital spot nor doing any
damage that the surgeons could not
patch up.
Both elbow joints and one knee have
been reinforced with platinum in place OF
bits of bone shot away. His right ankle
and instep are fortified with the precious
metal, and an X-ray would show It in four
other places in the bones of his legs and
arms, to say nothing of piece in his
skull where a German shrapnel ball
knocked away a bit of his brain box with
out damaging the cool-thinking machine
within. Inside his body the ace wore
more platinum than his iancee displayed

accustomed to the heights of extrava-
gance, really enjoyed these unpretentious
things Nungesser noticed this and was
relieved. He thought it meant that she
liked the simple life. That is where he
made another serious error in judgment.
Neither of them guessed the real cause of
her happiness.
She enjoyed dropping from the peaks
to the humble average level, not because
love had wrought any miraculous change
in her tastes, but because these inexpen-
sive entertainments furnished the proof
she hungered for-that he was sincere.
Any evidence of this made her happy.
Often she suggested doing things at her
expense, but always met a tactful refusal
or evasion, usually on some other preteXt
than the real one, that he would not de-
rive advantage from her money. But al
ways she knew and was thrilled. This
evidence, however, meant nothing to her
friends, who remarked that he was only
playing the game according to precedent.
They cited the case of an Italian Count,
to whom money was filthy lucre and gold
so disgusting that he hated to have his
dentist put the nasty stuff in his teeth.
He had told his heiress (before he mar
ried her) that he would prefer that they
live Gin re leetle room in zee leetle hotel,
on love alone"
On the honeymoon, however, they could
not move out of "zee beeg room in zee
beeg hotel' until she had paid the bill,
and she had done nothing since but pay
his bills, old and new.
To her dismay, she knew that he, too,
had talked that way. They must live as
befitted his humble circumstances in any
thing they shared.

romance as just another match between
American dollars and an impecunious for
eign title. Now, Charles Nungesser has
no official title except Captain, which he
earned during the war, and neither he
nor his ancestors had any patent of no
bility. But he holds an unofficial title
more noble than Marquis, Lord or Duke
it is "Ace of Aces"
Upon only three Frenchmen has that
title been given unanimously-George
Guvnemer, who was killed. Renee Fonck
and Charles Nungesser, who are alive. So
he had sure enough title and he was
impecunious enough from mllionare's
point of view; that is, he had nothing but
a salary from his aviation, barely enough
to support a wife in a modest way.
OF course, Miss Hatmaker, when she
met him, knew what everyone else has
read-that he brought down fifty-ive
enemy planes (forty-sx Officially and re-
ceived every decoration his country had
to give. But probably she did not know
for it is not in the records-the re-
markable character of the man which the
war developed, and which made him an
ace of aces and, incidentally, husband
who could refuse his wife's offered mil
lions.
She heard the story from him and
others how Nungesser entered the war as
q humble cavalryman, and, like many an
other Frenchman, considered himself as
already dead. The war seemed likely to
60 on forever, while he was liable to be
killed at any moment. The war being
ssdirty, dull and dangerous misery" for
anyone at the front, he did not care
whether he died today or tomorrow, ex-
cent that he wished to make good rec
ord before he went.
He asked to be given a chance to fly.
His superiors did not like the idea, but
rather than hurt his feelings they sent him
for his flying examination, with the hlnt
to the examiners to send him back again.
The examiners took him in a hurry, be-
cause they found him to be an almost per-
feet anmal-not the muscular, human
truck horse one sees in vaudeville, but

hand, foot and brain worked together with
perfect coordination.
Like Guynemer and Fonck, Nungesser
was promising pupil. Considering him.
self already dead, he had no emotion or
fear to obstruct the pathway between
brain and hand. Believing that he was to
die young, he decided to do whatever
seemed to be the right thing without con-
sidering personal interest. Perhaps only
man who felt that death was just around
the corner could keep that up for -FOUR
years, but in that time it set his character
like granite.
All he asked of luck at first was that
he might bring down one plane and get
his own safely back before he died. Yet
the first thing he did was to wreck one

stir. The honeymoon was interrupted by
three days exhibition flying He ex-
planned that he was receiving a fancy
price and they could not afford to miss it.
''They," indeed Why, she would have
paid that fancy price" ten times over to
have his company; but, never mind, il
was nuisance, but nice that he felt that
way. Then the short honeymoon ended.
and he was back at work all day and often
evenings, absorbed in blue prints and field
tests.
Slowly the fact sunk into her mind that
this was what he expected life always to
beat least, until they were mddIe-aged.
The factory and field were to take the
lions share of his day, and she was to be
content with the few crumbs of time be-
tween his working and sleeping. The
company was getting all this for what she
considered mere pittance, while she. his
wife, with all her wealth, could not buy
an hour, and must be content with the
leavings. 1t was ridiculous, and she told
nm so. He must take year Off, travel
with her, see the world, eniOy life and
love while they were there to enjoy.
"On WHAT" he asked. 81 told you
did not care for your money and never
would use cent of it,"
To her dismay she found that nothing
would shake this man, who had married
her for herself alone, from his decision
to do what he believed was right. She
had what she had hoped and prayed for
miracle, poor man who scorned her
money-and now that she had this won
derful thing, it broke her heart. She
stood the monOtony of being the rich wife
of man who insisted on being poor as
long as she could, and then they declared
a marriage holiday"
Now, if he had only been "A gallant,
plausible rascal, like the general run of
fortune hunters, and had yielded to her
persuasions and played at love, the thing
might have gone along indefinitely, or
until the financial strain became too
severe.
So at last beautiful theory has been
tested and found wanting. The "Ace of
Aces" and his bride have crashed through
an error of judgment. Herbert Spencer
once said that his idea of a tragedy was
a theory confronted by fact-and this
is one of those tragedies.

n pened-a penniless titled
foreigner has married an
American heiress for love only.
He is not interested in her money
and actually won't touch cent

Does it please the girl to know
and have all the world knew that
he loves her just for her own

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

Buying and contracting are re-
ported to have broadened in the west,
operations being reported from va
rious sections. Prices reported to
have been paid are about on the level
of recent buying Of old clip wools.
These are below growers ideas, but
above the level desired by manufac-
turers and eastern dealers. The Bos-
ton market is still rather quiet, and
nominal quotations of domestic sorts
continue to decline. Principal Aus
tralian markets are closed for the
Easter holidays. Melbourne and Sgd
ney closed strong, and the same is
true of the London wool sales.
Germany is reported having diff
Guilty in financing purchases of wool
and other raw material in England,
but France is buying freely and her
mills are actively employed. Arrivals
of foreign woods continue heavy, and
there is fair movement from day to
day in both foreign and domestic
sorts, though generally in small lots.
An exception is reported in large buy
ing of capes by the leading manufac-
turing interest. The goods market
here develops slowly, and the wool
trade is now looking for the expected
improvement in buying to materialize
in May rather than in April.
Wide WOODEN looms were operated
SO per cent of capacity, on a single
shift basis, in February, against GA
per cent in January and 752 per cent
in February, 1925, according to the
census bureau. Woolen spindles were
operated at 69.6 per cent of capacity,
against 1913 per cent in January, and
worsted spindles at 75.4 per cent,
against 71.2 per cent in January.
Consumption of wool by domestic
mills amounted to 35,180,768 pounds
in February, compared with 36,157,-
1877 pounds in January and 39,956,961
pounds in February year ago.

Stock ranges over the entire graz

by the moderate to heavy rainfall OF

in such condition as to assure plen-

such widely separated localities as
Gisela and Parker, Ariz., and Gamer

rains have fallen on desert ranges IN
northern Maricopa county, Nadaburg
reporting 2.20 inches in the recent
storm. Superintendent Davis of the
Fort Apache Indian agency reports
that heavy run-off has already
started and all streams are flooding.
Farm work in central and northern
Arizona has been brought to stand
still by heavy rains but this is not
regarded as hardship when COM
pared with the benefit to crops. Oats,
wheat and barley are making excel

nicely. Some early planted cotton at
Parker was injured by frost March
30. Peaches and plums in the White
mountain section were seriously dam
aged by freeze on the same date.
