Rose Clemens had settled down 10 her
sewing again. She wondered rather
casually about the new minister,
whom she had not as yet seen. He
had preached twice at the church, but
it was during the month she had been
in the city sewing for Mrs. Cheese
man, so all she knew about him was
that he was evidently very popular
with everybody, ard that his name
was John Harry Jones.
AS that happened to be the name
of the only man Rose Clemens had
ever wanted to marry, and had re.
fused because he had been so wild
and reckless, she was rather curious
to see him. OF course her Harry
Jones had gone to the dogs long ago
at least, people who claimed &c
know the Jones family after they haG
removed from the village always
said SO.
The very first Sunday that the new
minister preached, Rose Clemens, il

new little patent leather slippers shin

Perhaps Rose had been thinking
about the poor black sheep Harry
Jones. whom she had loved SO long
ago, and when she sat there witt
closed eyes, while the organ softly
played the prelude, she was prayin2
for that poor lost Jones boy who had
flung away so recklessly when she
told him that she did not love him
Then the organ hoomed out trium

r OSE CLEMENS sounds like the
name of pretty young girl. And
indeed when Rose was a little young
er, she was prettier than most Of
them. Today, Rose Clemens, not SO
young and pretty, sat and sewed all
day long She only stopped for a cup
of tea and bit to eat, or to tit some
customer of the village who wanted a
new pattern, for Rose was the only
dressmaker in the village and busy
from morning until night.
She lived all alone in the cottage
because all her family had either
married or moved to other houses,
or, as in the case of her parents, had
died. So Rose Clemens lived all alone
in the small white house, no longer
young, and yet not old.
This afternoon sic was sewing,
as matchmaking a new silk dress for
Mrs. Cheeseman, who lived up On the
hill in the large white house. Mrs.
Cheeseman was very gracious and al

DUCK KILLERS GETS

Several recent convictions for

from New York to the Azores and from
there to the terminal In France. The
Airdrome Co. will then put into
operation feet of planes with thirty
six-hour service between the American
and European continents. The entire
plan is expected to be completed within
two years.
Provided that insurmountable tech
nical difficulties are not encountered In
the construction and operation of the
seadromes. this plan appears to be the
only feasible project to span the
Atlantic commercially by air. Present.
day planes are incapable OF carrying a
pay load over the ocean In nonstop
flight, but with landing fields available
approximately four hundred miles apart.
the trip could be made with compare
tive safety and probably be placed upon
q paying basis.
While no announcement has been
made of the type OF plane to be used in
the new service, 1t is considered likely
that land ships will be utilized. For
ocean flying land planes are the most
hazardous and 1t would be far safer
to Use either amphihian or sea planes
for such a service. Three -motored ships
are now being developed. however,
which are capable OF remaining in the
air even though one OF the motors
should fail, and with help in case of a
forced landing in the sea not more
than two hours away, much OF the
hazard would be eliminated.
Assuming. therefore. that the sea-
dronles are practical in operation. able
to withstand the toughest sea and to
remain securely anchored in spite of
the pounding of huge waves, and that
multi-motored planes will be used with
proper safeguards for passengers, the
transatlantic air service should be a
success. The world is travelling at a
fast pace now, but 1t looks as IL an
era of still greater speed is about to be
realized.
