But science had passed up the horse. The cavalry couldn't stand engagements with modern weapons. A few months later he was at school of aviation, and . few months later he was an ace, and few months later he was the most celebrated of all the Kaisers aces-the champion of the air, the Red Knightof Germany. Heha shot down eighty planes, and been twice decorated by the German Kaiser in psrson.
 Meanwhile, changes had also come over Roy Brown. He learned where Servia was, where Serajevo was, and where Bel gium was. He forgot the Toronto base ball team, took private course in flying and enlisted in the Royal Naval Flying Corps, where he became Flight Sub- Lieutenant Roy Brown. While he was no Richthofen, he was an ace. He he'd shot down twelve German planes, had been decorated by the King of England, and had been promoted to Captain.
 Fate was bringing these boys from op- posite sides of the world nearer together.
 It was the twenty-first of April, 1918. Richthofen was with his fighting squad- ron in the sky. He was on the tail of young man named May, who had spent his ammunition. His bullets were cutting between the wings of young Mays plane, who was in his first air fight, when Roy Brown dove upon the unseeing Richthofen from behind. It was a long shot and had to be quick one or May was gone. One bullet reached the flying Uhlan, piercing his heart. He never knew what hit him,
 This was the last bullet which Brown ever shot at an enemy. He came to the ground, learned the identity of his quarry, and collapsed from over-strain. While tho British soldiers gave Richthofen beaud- full and chivalric funeral, Brown lay un. conscious in q hospital, suffering from an attack of hysteria which left him never the same man again.

SHoRrLY before 1900 two baby boys - were born on opposite sides of the world, one near Ottawa, Ontario: the other m East Prussia. Who living at that time could have believed that the Cana dian baby would kill the German baby in battle in the air above . farm in France, occupied by Australian soldiels, who wore steel helmets2 Aiplanes had not been in- vented when these babies were born, and steel helmets had been long abandoned.
 One of these boys was Baron Manfred won Richthofen, of long line of Prussian nobles. His forefathers had worn the uni form of their king since the days of armor and charger. They had nearly all been in the cavalry, because that was the aristo- cratic and dashng branch of the military service.
 Young Richtho6en went to the military school1 and learned that peculiar arro- gance which belonged to the lieutenant in the days before the Great War. He was . lieutenant at twenty one, and his soul went up every night in prayer for war.
 The other boy was named Roy Brown. He was born in Carleton Place, Ontario, q peaceful little town of 1000 persons. His father was business man. Roy played pool and baseball and went to high school. Saturday afternoon he spent tinkerng with his fiivver, and Saturday night, he took his girl out for q ride. When Servian killed the Austrian Archduke in Seraievo. it didn't mean much to Roy Brown. Servia was vague in his mind, and Sera- jevo, he had never heard of.
 It was different with Lieutenant von Richthofen. He knew enough about East ern history to have the hope that the assassaaation would be the spark which would light the world In flame. Hh soul was bathed in effable joy. At last, wari A few week3 later he was riding his Uhlans against Coesaclss.

In the Stock Market

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Unless you
INDUCED too freely in the offerings
of Thanksgiving day, you undoubt-
edly feel this morning just as opti-
mistic as you did at the close of
the market on Wednesday. You
know, when we come to think about
it, most folks feel very much now
as they did on the corresponding
day four years ago. OF course, the
picture is different because prices
are not the same, the names of
the popular stocks are not the same,
the debt is larger and the cost of
money higher, but we were think
ing then Of coming prosperity and
we are thinking the same today.
We must, of course, make allow
ance for the fact that good many
of the popular issues were then
comparatively cheap and today
high, SO high, in fact, that we may
have to wait few years for the
building up of assets to put intrin-
sic worth back of them, SO natural
ly many of the late buyers will have
to do the waiting. We would rath-
er look for opportunities among
companies whose business has not
been very prosperous and the rail-
roads where the best of them are
not yet too high.

PROBE THEFT
OF U. S. LOCKS
Thief Hampers With IL
Mail Boxes.

United States postal inspectors to-
day are investigating the theft of
locks from more than a dozen cor
ner mail boxes on the south side
Thursday night.
In all the thefts the hasps hold
ing the locks were sawed of and
the locks carried away.
Postal authorities had no way Of
telling whether or not the boxes
were robbed. No mail was found in
any of the boxes.
1t is believed the lock thief took
the locks, with the hope of max
ing one or several master keys,
which would permit him TO open
street boxes over the city at will.
Three locks were found abandoned
later in the day,
