time of Queen Elizabeth! In those
days-more than 800 years ago-a
navy was made up of wooden vessels
with sails. Usually the guns were
set in the sides, pointing through
what we might call large loop
holes" After one "broadside" was
fired. the captain might order the
pilot to turn around-so the cannon
on the other side could be aimed at
the target.
Modern naval cannon can send
their shells several miles. Most
present-day sea battles are fought
across q distance Of from ! to I
miles. In the old days, the firing
distance was likely to be only few
hundred yards. Often one vessel
tried to get near another 50 soldiers
could leap from deck to deck.

battle in history took place in 1888.
1t was fought In the English Chan
mel, between fleets of England and
Spain.
The Spanish king had prepared
the so-called "Invincible Armada -
and had made plan to invade
England. When his fleet was ready
to sail, count of the vessels showed
there were 129. They were largely
galleons.
The Spanish fleet carried 5000
sailors and 10000 soldiers. Thou
sands of French soldiers were ex-
pected to get aboard at a port on
the coast of France
Before going to the French coast,
the admiral of the Armada decided
to destroy English vessels in the
harbor of Plymouth, in Southeast
ern England. That effort marked
the start of long running fight
which came out badly for the
Spanisrds.
With fewer men-of-war and
smaller ones. the English not only
fought of the Armada, but sailed
right in to attack it. The English
ships were lighter but faster, and
were in command of able leaders,
including Hawkins and Drake.
The Great Armada was not "in-
vincible." 1t was whipped. Seek
ing safety at Calais. it was attacked
by fireships. and sailed out again,
only to be chased by the English.
After losing % vessels, the Ar
mada tried to sail around Great
Britain. Entering the North Sea
1t was met by fierce storms, ano
more men were lost in the storms
than in the battle. Only 54 of the
vessels were able to limp back to

FIRST DECEPTION
CHAPTER XII

Going home in the train Mar
tin chuckled. you missed some
thing, Pete. Boy, is that Harris
horne kid serious! She writes
poetry, and all about love and
death and eternity. 1t seems
she developed Potts disease
when she was or SO and had
to spend several years on a
frame. She's all right now, but
I suppose she had to be alone
50 much that that's the reason
for all these deep thoughts and
stuff. Anyway, the sun rises
and sets in her as far as her Papa
and Mama are concerned, and
she can have anything she wants
except, maybe, enough soil
tude to suit her: Mama makes
her 60 out and do things; she
would prefer her to be a social
butterfly, I gather.
Peter was thinking Of his brief
talk with DR.. Patterson. DR..
Patterson was also professor OF
surgery at the Medical College;
Peter had been several times in
his classes and had q slight chat
ting acquaintance with him. He
had seen Peter standing alone
at the window and had nodded
for him to come over. you're
looking pretty grim, lad. Not lik-

Peter flushed. "Not much,
sir" he admitted.
"Why?" DR. Patterson asked.
His eyes were twinkling. do
you begrudge the ladies their
small social pleasures?"
II don't see what this sort OF
thing had to do with getting an
appointment, sir. ] don't see
where it has any place in the
practise of medicine"
Don't you?" DR.. Patterson
said. But you'll admit, won't
you, that the relationship Of any
one of these ladies to her physi-
clan is much more intimate than
to that of any man-We truSt!-
she meets, excepting her hus-
band? The laying on of hands
and all that, you know. What
about when they need a physi-
clan? Haven't these ladies who
are 50 particular about other
things, the right to be particu-
lar about that, too?"
Peter knew he was being
ribbed. He felt that he had been
acting very young, and rather
bumptious. He flushed uncom-
fortably.
DR.. Patterson said more grave
ly, patting his shoulder, 1T
doesn't really matter, Frazier.
We humor the ladies. And for
80 doing we enjoy better equip
ment than many hospitals, we
have more money to work with
and therefore we are enabled
to do more and better work."
That they did do excellent
work Peter knew. He thought,
chastened, if my appointment is

WANTS THE OPEN ROAD

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Wal
ter Choitz has filed an injunc-
ton suit so that he can sell his
farm and enter the Navy. He
was joined in the action by his
brother, Otto, who already Is
in the Army.
They alleged they have been
unable to sell their 80 acres be-
cause neighbors plowed under
the only road leading to it. The
suit said the road crossed prop
erty belonging to neighbors but
it had been used for 60 years be-
fore one of the defendants plow-
ed it under and padlocked the
gate entrance.

power to haunt and corrode,
Martin kept carefully guarded.
He thought, furious, I'd like to
give him both barrels, I'd like
to let him have it, I'd like to ad-
NIT that my Old Mans no good,
that he's poor white trash, no
account to do anything but sit
on his hunkers and talk big and
envy guys on relief while my
mother works like a man and
two horses to keep the farm 60
ing and q roof over the kids
head and so / can have a chance
to Be Something.
But he couldn't afford that,
he couldn't afford the luxury of
being frank. With q careful
choice of the right word and a
playful turn Of phrase his father
emerged under his word paint
ing as a Micawber but a cheer
fully valiant one, the farm as an
effort at a miniature Utopia
where things sometimes went
wrong. but always in q side
splittingly funny way.
Though he didn't know it, he
had been at his best. The sharp
changes in mood reflected in his
expressive face combined with
his really good voice to give his
story some of the quality Of a
play: his underlying feeling of
contempt lent to the perform
ance an engaging air of devil
may-care.
A warm smile coming on the
heels of il was the final undoing
of Faith Hartshorne; it reduced
her to q sudden gasping tender
ness. Her eyes fell in momen-
tary confusion, then lifted
again to his-and he was as
founded by the unmistakable
look of worship he saw in them.
Mr.. Hartshorne, too, was COM
pletely won. Chuckling still over
the last Of the droll episodes
Martin had related, he said,
That's what / like, a man not
ashamed of humble beginnings.
Take me, for instance"
But his wife was not as proud
of humble beginnings as he him
self was; she managed to side
track him effectively. She had
had quite enough of them and
for that reason she would have
preferred that this boys people
might be a bit more substan-
tial, less "droll" and amusing"
Though it did not really matter,
she thought resignedly, If only
Faith got what she wanted. If
only Faith were happy.
Martin had to phone Candace
the next day and cancel their en-
gagement for that evening. They
had planned to see a particular
movie and he knew that she had
been looking forward to it and
must be bitterly disappointed;
but she said cheerfully, There's
always next time. Of course
study must come first"
He didn't mention anything
about the Hartshornes. For he
had decided that after all you
can't tell a girl, no matter how
regular she is, that you're break
ing a date with her because, in
stead of studying the night be-
fore, you were out with another
girl.

It was about a week later that
Faith Hartshorne phones Mar
tin.
He was alone at the time, do
ing some heavy studying because
he hadn't been giving his work
all the attention it should have
and there was an exam due to
come up soon. Mrs. Prosser
shouted to him from the foot OF
the stairs and he ran down wide
legged, taking the steps two and
three in each stride, to grab up
the receiver dangling from the
coin-box telephone.
This is Faith Hartshorne,"
she said. Her voice sounded
thin and girlish over the phone,
and a little uncertain. She was
in town with her father and
mother to attend a broadcast,
the first in q new series her
father was sponsoring. It was
business for her father, and for
her mother, too, really; and she
wondered il he wouldn't like to
meet them all for dinner and
come along later to take the
curse off it for her? II want to
thank you about Gossip, any
way"
Martin said, II don't see how
I can," too surprised even to
sound regretful.
She said, II was afraid you
wouldn't be able to make it,
such short notice and all"
Her voice sounded stiff, and
maybe a little hurt, and he was
Immediately sorry-and alarm

he had the crust to refuse!
He said quickly, II was think

and do 1t tomorrow night"
Sure he could. He had a date
with Candace, but she'd under
stand about the studying. After
all, this was business for him,
too.
They had dinner at q hotel
whose stately portals Martin had
passed only on the outside here
tofore, and afterward at the
broadcast they sat in the spon-
sors' box, among the mighty.
There were moments when Mar
tin could feel himself expand
ing with sheer physical pleasure,
yet he had never passed a more
uncomfortable evening in his
life.
He was not sure that he was
really wanted, in the first place.
Mrs. Hartshorne said playfully
of her daughter, apropos prac-
tically nothing at all, Faith is
a very willful little girl" in q
way that seemed to mean that
perhaps Faith had overridden
her parents objections in hav-
ing him there at all. And Old
Man Hartshorne seemed to have
him under a microscope, study
ing him.
The pointed questions about
his family, put in q tone of easy
geniality, What part of the
country do you come from, Son?
What's your dad in?" angered
