CHAPTER XIII
Copyrigrht, 1918, the Star Company
For some days after this, John
Butler saw Elizabeth Wade only at
meal times or in the presence of
Amos and Mrs. Chapin.
Elizabeth suspected that he was
determined to prevent any closer
acquaintance with herself, and was
more amused than piqued by the sus
picion. She appreciated that, believ
ing her to be the cousin of the farm
er's wife, he had scruples about pay
ing her such marked attention as he
might bestow upon one of his own
class. So. smiling to herself, she
aided and abetted his efforts to evade
her.
Yet, occasionally, she wished that
she might have a pleasant, long
talk with him. She was lonely here,
away from all her former associates
and without intellectual companion
ship. When not helping Mrs. Chapin
she spent much o( her time in her
room reading. She wrote to her
brother but seldom, for there was lit
tle to tell except that his ex-patient
was looking stronger and better with
each passing day and that the fields
were improving as rapidly as he was.
It was evident to her that Chapin
was not allowing John Butler to do
much of the work that he himself
was in the habit of performing.
Whereas Amos was accustomed to
rising at daylight, on these mornings
he lay abed until Butler had been be
low stairs for an hour. In the after
noon, also, Amos would come to the
house for a little nap, while the
younger guest would remain at work
until the close of the supper hour.
Elizabeth knew that since Biitler had
been forced upon Chapin the farmer
had resolved to take advantage of
the chance to lead a more luxurious
life than heretofore.
Butler may have noticed this him
self, but he spoke no word of com
plaint. Instead, he took matters more
and more into his own hands, order
ing from the city certain farm imple
ments, and making improvements that
the farmer considered useless.
"A fool and his money are soon
parted," Chapin remarked dryly one
day to his wife, as she and Eliza
beth sat in the vine-shaded kitchen
porch hulling strawberries. "That
young Butler seems to be crazy to
spend good money on a lot of new
fangled fixin's. Well, if he wants to
do it, and the owner of the farm
don't object, I'll not say anything.
Your brother and 1 will profit by it I
maybe—if there is any profit, which :
I doubt," he added to Elizabeth. J
A Skeptlcnl Farmer
k "There will be profit, if one may I
\ judge by the looks of the farm," the ,
girl affirmed gravely.
"Looks aren't everything. Wait
till the crops come in," the man said
skeptically. "I don't hold with these i
scientific ways of doin' things. But
your brother wanted it. tried out —so
I'm keeping mum." The words set i
Elizabeth to thinking, and the results
<>f her cogitation was the decision
that John Butler knew what he was
doing and that she would best not
display too much interest in the mat
ter. She would not mention it to
him.
But Butler himself -introduced the
subject one morning when, on her way
down to the pond for waterlilies, she
met him.
"May I go with you?." he asked
abruptly when she told him her er
rand.
"Why—yes," she stammered, "if
you aren't too busy?"
"I am not,' he declared. "I have been ,
working hard lately, but just now 1
called Mr. Chapin's attention to this
fact and suggested that he and Talak
finished the bit of cultivating I was
doing in the corn. I do not think he
liked It," he added, reflectively.
"It is his job, anyway." Elizabeth
declared bluntly. "Don't let him im
pose on you, Mr. Butler."
The man looked at her with a sur
prised expression that reminded her
that Chapin was supposed to be her
cousin by marriage.
"I mean," she explained, "he s al
ways been in the habit of doing such
work and you have not."
Ho did not say much until he and
she were in one of the llat-bottomed
boats on the little lake. Then, when
Butler had rowed around a bend that
hid them from the farm, he laid down
the oars and let the boat drift into
the shadows.
A Pleasing Impression
"It Is good to get out here where
it is quiet and cool," he remarked
after a long silence. "Chapin
brought me a letter from the village
an hour ago. It is from my mother.
Do you mind if I read it now?"
"Certainly not," she assured him.
"Read it. by all means."

Dr. Mudge Gives Patriotic
Sermon on Bastile's Fall
and Its Effect on World
Not only was the fall of the Bas
tile on July 14, 1789 during the
bloody days of the French Revolu
tion significant as the commence
ment of French civil liberty, but It
was also significant for the com
mencement of French religious lib
erty. Declarations to this effect were
made by Dr. Lewis S. Mudge, pastor
of the Pine Street Presbyterian
Church in n special sermon on "The
Fall of the Bastile" yesterday morn
ing.
The church was tastefully deco
rated yesterday morning lor the
commemoration of the French In
dependence Day. The tricolor of
France predominated among the
decorations nnd the music, too, was
especially selected for the occasion.
Only compositions of French com
posers were rendered at the service.
At its conclusion, after the benedic
tion, at the request of Dr. Mudge,
the audience remained standing
while Frank A. CcCarrell played the
French national air, the "Marseil
laise," as a little token of the high
esteem in which the French are held
by Americans.
Dr. Mudga in his sermon, pictur
ed quite graphically incidents lead
ing up to the fall of the Bastile and
the fall itself. He told of the ef
forts made by the French ruling
classes to exterminate the Hugenots,
but how they persisted, all the time
growing stronger, awaiting continu
ally a chance to overthrow the auto
crats and establish a democracy.
The odious persecutions visited
upon them by Louis XV and his pre
decessors, the many conspiracies of
the many French cliques against the
happiness of the lower and middle
classes all were related with vivid
ness.
The spacl.il significance of the fall
of the Bastile as regards civil, reli
gious and political liberty for France
was mentioned. The fall of the Bas
tile, with the freedom which it
brought, Dr Mudge declared, "paved
the way for religious freedom in
America as well."
Additional Sugar May Be
Had by Grocers Under
New System of Purchases
By means of a new system of sugar
purchase grocers will be enabled to
secure additional sugar supplies for
sale to household consumers, accord
ing to authority received at the local
food administration offices from the
state food administration this morn
ing.
Ketail grocers selling sugar for
canning purposes may secure addi
tional supplies for the same purpose
by turning in the signed sugar pur
chase certificates for home canning
to the food administration office,
Room 203, Dauphin ' building, every
Monday. The sugar thus authorized
to be purchased is in addition to the
amount, permitted for ordinary use
and adoption of this system Insures
the dealers and customers an ade
quate supply for the seasons can
ning.
A force of volunteer workers Is at
work to-day in the food administra
tion offices Insuring the special sugar
purchase certificates and the regu
lar purchase certificate for the trade.
When the sugar i*urchase certifi
cates are turned in each Monday they
will be examined and checked by a
federal agent and false statements
will result in action by the adminis
tration similar to that taken in cases
where hoarding Is detected.
Grocers must supply themselves
with blank forms, samples of which
may be obtained at the food admin
istration offices.
Eight hundred sugar purchase cer
tificates have been obtained by gro
cers, chemists, manufacturers, and
other commeroial users of sugar. To
day Is the last day for the sugar
consumers to file their sugar state
ments. and after to-day only house
holders may. secure sugar without
sugar purchase certificates.
Vegetable Time
There are so many vegetables to
be eaten this summer that one can
very well afford to do without wheat,
beef and sugar. The United States
Food Administration feels that the
use of Vegetables cannot be too
strongly encouraged.

Question Right to Sell
Property of Estate For
Debts Due Two Years
tV hether the court has the jurisdlc
j tion to order a private sale of real
estate for payment of debts of an
estate which have been due for more
than a year, because of the new fidu
ciary act was brought out in court
to-day, when an effort was made to
get a court order to sell properties
of the estate of the late H, C. Wright
of SWlton. Counsel for the admin
| istratrix, Mr. Wright's widow, pre
sented the petition asking permis
sion to sell five Wteelton properties
in order to realize funds toward the
payment of debts totaling $27,000, but
which have been due for more than
a year as there is no personal prop
erty which can be used to meet them.
No order was made by the court,
pending a further study of the prop- |
er course of procedure which will be
made by the attorney for the estate.
Court Holds Up Lykens
Liquor License Transfer
The transfer of the liquor license 1
held by Albert h rltz to sell intoxi
cants at Odd Fellows Hall, Lykens,'
was taken under consideration by the

whether it is necessary for the court I

FLYING WITH SHAFFER
PUTNAM'S FINE WORK
LETTERS FROM A DAITHIX BOY TO HIS MOTHER
Escadrille Spad 38,
Secteur Postal 12,
June 7, 1918.
Dear Mother:
To-day we are really beginning to
feel summer here, despite the fact
that we live in a pine grove. In
deed, the hangars and barracks are
so well hidden by the surrounding
pines that I have difficulty in recog
nising it from the air, 'tis cam
ouflaged so well. We are well estab
lished in our new quarters now and
are getting accustomed to the new
landing ground.
I used to kick about the punk
"piste" we had at Melette, but it's
no comparison to this. It's plenty
long enough, but so doggone narrow
and one must needs steer a mighty
straight line to keep out of the
trees, hangars, bad ground and
planes lining its side. Only last night
while going off I nearly took the
wireless outfit with me, there being
a cross wind which drifted me side
ways before I had hardly cleared the
ground. As It was. banked up on
one wing, I saw with relief the wires
pass a foot under me. Such things
as these, though, are everyday oc
currence in the flying game, and are
forgotten nearly as soon as finished,
for since it's impossible to stop or
back up one must continually keep
mind and eyes ahead.
To make things worse on our nar
row landng strip, right In the ex
act middle of the length of it runs
a bump about a foot high. Never
having landed a fast plane loaded
with two guns, cartridges and a
heavy motor, you will not see the
significance of that bump. Believe
me, it has every pilot worried on the
"plete," and he carefully calculates
his landing so that he will have
stopped before he hjts It. Not that
it's dangerous for the pilot. On the
contrary, it isn't—not any more than
thousands of other little things, but
he is liable to smash his machine and
especially the "Becky." No pilot
wants to do that, although It will
happen, as the saying goes, "in the
best regulated families."
Where the Trouble Is
The sharp hump causes trouble
in this way; the pilot is coming
down to land, he gets near the
ground, levels out some few feet
above the ground and lots her ride
along until she (the loses
speed and starts to sink then he
slowly pulls the tail down so that
the tail skid (Becky) and wheels hit
at the same time.
He may hit the ground at varying
speed from seventy to ninety miles
an hour, all depending on the pilot,
so you can see after he is actually
on the ground he will roll a con
siderable distance before stopping
—and here is where the hump gets

hump, and zooie! up In the air he
bounces. Having neither enough
speed to hold him in the air, and
therefore his controls having no ef-
f ect - h® j" Bt naturally comes back
to Mother Earth with a resounding
bump, and something naturally
gives; as the landing gear of an air
plane is not made to stand an "ele
vator" landing.
Since the last letter nothing has
happened of note, although I've
been in the air twice, once flying
back of Rheims and over the new
battlefield 'with four other Spads.
We saw no Huns however, which
was a good thing for my guns were
not working. I tried them twice,
but only got a couple of cracks
out of one of them and the other
would not speak at all, trying them
both again neither would work, so
being no good up there with only a
good motor I came home.
• Up Again
Last evening I went up again, hut
I after I had climbed over the clouds
at 3,000 meters my motor began
knocking, vibrating and making
more peculiar noises than two lovers
watching the moon come up. I had
no desire to keep company with such
a motor and promptly came home
again, and say maybe 1 didn't make
some landing! Golly! I sure was
proud of it, because you know when
I wrote the last letter, two smashed
"Beckies" stood against me as result
of bad landings, and this time I sat
lier down as_ lightly as a leaf, so
easily did I 'touch the ground, I
hardly knew I was there, and to
make me more pleased with myself
we stopped several feet from that
doggone hump, even crowed about
It at dinner and Putnam lost no
time in reminding me of the
busted 'Beckies," but even that did
not lower my optimism, for you
could surely tell how sad I felt in
the last letter.
Bad 'Humor
You know I'm flying a Spad now,
armed with two guns, lots of cart
ridges and about a million instru
ments. I am getting used to hand
ling these numerous Instruments now
though, and golly, but there Is a lot
watch and thus keep our water at the
cooled we have a thermometer to
watch and thus keep our water a the
right temperature. This gives the
most trouble of all, because If the
motor Is run at full speed down low
the water begins to boil, up high
where it is cold very little trouble
Is experienced, except when diving,
and then one must shut the shutters,
which are on the radiator in front
so the water won't freeze up. Some
times one forgets to put the cat out
and shut the shutters when diving.

London, July 1-4. Germans who

or forgets to open them again when
climbing. So Putnam did the other
day when he dove on some Boches—
shut the shutters and then interested
in the fight forgot all about them,
and pretty soon his water was boil
ing, steam coming out of his tank
like an engine ready to leave the
station. His temperature was way
above the danger point, so he
promptly dove Tor home, wondering
what in Sam Hill was wrong. Judg
ing from the humor he was in when
hv landed, the warm remarks he
was addressing " to that must
have made the temperature go up
ten more degrees.
Putnam's Work
He got one Hun though since
joining this escadrille, he has gone
through the Huns like a whirlwind
having bnocked down three officially,
and last night oowled over five out
of a patrol of ten. He's a wonder
but details of his fights have to be
pried out of him and then they are
very Unsatisfactory. About all he
will say is that he dove at the Hun,
held his fire until he say the pilot's
head clearly and then let go point
blank with both guns, indeed much
the same as his ancestor at Bunker
Hill, who waited until he saw the
whites of their eyes. Anyway we
had learned the secret —get up close
and then shoot.
Quite simple indeed to think about
but practically it takes some nerve
to calmly hold your tire until you
nearly hit his plane, all the time
wondering whether your motor will
respond when you pull up to climb
out of that nest of hornets, and
whether your guns are working; also
it while you are interested In the
Hun directly in Front, another don't
maneuver and get on your'tail.
Nothing in Details
My plane (should be ready for to
night, it being under repairs all
morning, as last night a magneto
broke, along with several wires, so
I was wise in coming down instead
of going to the lines as I had a
reckless idea of doing. In that
case 1 would have surely gone "en
panne,' with so much of my motor
busied, and just now that's dang
erous, for the grain crops are grow
ing making former good landing
fields nothing but high grass and
grain. Landing in such stuff means
a somersault sure —and maybe other
things, so I have n desire of being
put to the test of picking out a Held
—u nice green one—from way up on
high and get down to find it's com
posed of rippling grain
From our usual altitude of 5,000
meters such details cannot be noticed
as all green fields look alike. Even
l-OE-ds are hard to find, and railroads
almost impossible, and of late the
sky is nearly always polluted with
big white bollowy clouds, which sure
are a nuisance for one can only see
where he is at through the holes in
the clouds, and these Spads are blind
enough without that. Looking out
over the side about all the pilot can
gee beneath him is his lower wing.
Honestly I was over the city of
Rheims the other day and was look
ing everywhere for it, finally 1 stood
up on one wing and there it was
right under me, hidden by my wing
all the time. Yea boy! It's a great
life if you don't weaken! Don't for
get to send my mail to the Y. M. C.
A., address in Paris, for I may move
any minute.

children.
Sergeant Putnam's wonderful
work in downing five enemy planes
in one day was told in Associated
Press dispatches from the front last
month and Putnam is a descendant
of General Israel Putnam, "Old Put"'
of Revolutionary fame and has been
flying with Shaffer for some time.
Ills record is one of the best yet
made by Americans at the front.
