A* th* gun* nred their news, people ran from home* and office* Into the streets to ask whether the baby was a girl or boy and to begin a celebration that, aided hy national holidays, was expected to continue tor days. Eight group* of medievally clad heralds, two trumpeters mid a crier in each, started out from the Hague to inform the country formally of the birth of a second heir to the throne Coincidentally airplanes took off from royal air force fields to drop leaflets all over the country—the 20th century method of giving the news. Sextons climbed to church towers to ring the bells. Town and village bands were ordered out to head parades. Choristers made ready to parade themselves, singing hymns of thanksgiving that the royal succession was further assured by a new descendant of the proud House of Orange Nassau. Preparations were made to distribute buttered rusks (buns) spread with sweetmeats to the 4,000 families of the Soestydk area. There was rejoicing through most of the world. Holland has colonies 63 times the area of her own 12,579 square miles. Warships and artillery batteries fired salutes in all parts of the empire, at Guiana down on the South American coast; in the Caribbean islands; in Borneo with its head hunters; in the exotic islands of the South Seas. In all these countries and climes, flag* and bunting, long ready, were hung from houses and buildings, and bonfires built weeks ago were made ready for lighting at dusk. As at the Hague, the capital, soon after the birth today, mounted heralds rode out from the white palaces here, the horses’ hoofs silent on the straw thickly covering

back to her, “The important thing is not to lose your head.” “Yes,” she said as though he were there, “But what do I dos" “Drop the nose slightly.” She dropped the nose. At about three hundred feet, she closed the throttle. Her ,esson was coming back to her and she relaxed a trifle. She held the plane steady during the glide, trying to pierce the darkness and see the ground below. She was beginning to appreciate what a flying sense was and to know that she didn't have it. She hoped she was about thirty feet above the ground—basing her hope on the height of the garage on which she kept her eye before she circled around it. Then she flattened, gripped the control stick to pull it back gently. It worked at first and she felt the plane strike the bumping earth. She tried to slow down, lost her head and saw that they were heading straight for the garage. She couldn't get direction! She thought she heard directions, people shrieking at her. No longer sure of anything. She only knew that this was a terrible night-mare. This white thing rushing toward her to crush her. She wondered if she had imagined she had landed, if perhaps she hadn't been flying on her side and they were crashing. That was all she knew. She never expected to open her eyes again. When she tried to, they brushed against gauze. The effort made her head ache. Her limbs, under the effect of a powerful bromide, felt disembodied. Her arms lay straight at her sides. She moved her fingers against silk. It was the silk of the lounge on which she lay n Nancy’s library but she I didn’t know that. Or hew long she had been there. She opened her mouth to speak and found the effort too much. In the darkness some of the horror came back to her. She wnsn t dead, she was questionably relieved to discover. But what had happened to her? To Paul? The nightmare became paim'oily acute. Her debt and the crack-up mingled in terrifying proportions. She tried to think of something pleasant. Like sunlight on the quarry pool. Althea unpacking a picnic lunch. Tommy ducking her head under water. The two of them ■ having a water battle. Tommy jeering at her because she was a little girl, then wiping her tears away. Tommy bringing her a box of stale candy the day she graduated 1 fi om h igh-school. T ommy. whenever j liked her, saying she was a little , fool because she wanted excitement. . Tommy had no business to call her a ’ little fool even if she was one. Tom- • my never tried to find out what she , was like. 1 Weak tears dribbled out under , l.cr eye-lid* making tho gauze stick j to them. Her reflexes jumped when she ' heard a soft knock on a door some--1 where. She heard the door open, i Elsa’s voice said very softly, .' “Paul, why don’t you go to bed? The , doctor says she’ll ba all right in the i morning.” Paul's voice was very soft. A ’ sick-room voice. “Don’t wait up any longer, darling. I've got to stick it out." “ilow’s your head?’’ There was a pause. “Paul, you’ve got a lump : the size of an egg on it! What did the coctor say?" “I'll be okay, too, but it was nothI Ing short of a miracle. Stanley sore?” “Os course, he's sore.” Julie lay without breathing, ’ listening. “Now, tell mo about it.” ‘The little fool lost her head”-— i Julia swallowed hard—“l waa all

Brown, extension horseman of Purdue University, will be In Adams county Tuesday, February 8, to assist County Agent Archbold In holding two horse schools. The first meeting will be held at the Adolph Bulteineier farm at 9:30 A. M. The Bultemeier farm is located one-half mile west of Preble, and 3% miles north. The second school for the day will be held at 12:09 P. M. on the Lewis Yake farm in Kirkland Township, 3’4 miles south of Preble, or 1 mile east and > 4 mile south of the Kirkland high school. In both of these meetings Mr.; Brown will give instructions and demonstrate the trimming of colts’ feet, discuss the care, feeding and management of colts. The purpose of the hoof trimming work is to insure the colts having good sound feet and straight legs. Proper feeding Is conductive to a good growing condition without getting them too fat. The Gold Medal Colt Club committee will assist at these meetings and the work they have been doing with horse schools and shows in the past six years has placed Adams county in the front ranks in the state for this type of work. The work has attracted many horse buyers to the county, which in turn has meant better prices for the better kinds.

Tn going in the race to Miami next week. That's what’s got me bothered. I can’t take the responsibility for this whole thing.” “Don’t worry about it, my pet. You won’t have to. Nancy had her well sized up as an opportunist.” “Not so loudl” Paul cautioned in an undertone. “She’s sound asleep. Dr. Kerry gave her a strong bromide. She’s got a little cut on her head where she struck the dash. Maybe it will teach her a lesson.” “It’s taught me one but it’s damned embarrassing and annoying all the same. What’s Stanley say about it?” “Very little. He knows that you’re not to blame. You can't blame him for being annoyed at having his pet plane cracked up. It will be an expensive repair job.” Julie saw herself in debtor's prison for the rest of her life. “I’ll pay for it,” Paul said shortly. “You're sweet! And gallant!” Julie had other ideas. “You’re a swell person to see it my way,” Paul said. “Every time I go away you get in trouble," Elsa said tenderly. “What am I going to do about you?” “Marry me and take care of me. I safd I wasn't ever going to ask you again when you turned me down last time but I’m putting it up to you now." Elsa sighed, “I’m afraid I’ll have to, or you’ll fall into the hand* c* one of these baby-faced gold diggers yet.” Julie shut her ears against what she heard next. In a little while, Elsa said, “I hear a car in the drive now. That would be Dr. Kerry’s nurse. Do you think the two of yoif can carry her upstairs? The doctor said it would be all right after she’d had a little sleep. It’s nearly four now.” For the last time Julie, feigning unconsciousness, felt Paul’s arms around her as he carried her up the stairs and into her own room. After that she slept. When she woke in the morning there was a nurse at her bedside. A disgustingly cheer- I ful nurse who took off the bandage, washed the cut on her forehead ano said cheerfully. “You won't even need another bandage on it. There are only four stitches and the air will heal the wound. You had a nar- I row escape but you’re almost as j good as new this morning." She was new enough, she thought > when she was alone. She thought she'd stay in bed all, day, avoid meeting the others and at night she would tell Nancy that she was leaving as soon as she was able to. In her wildest imagination she was unable to visualize what actually happened. Nancy came to her when the nurse left at noon. She was politely sympathetic and assured by Julie that she was quite all right—Julie stumbled through apologies for which she had no adequate words— I she said coldly. “I’ve had Molly pack your things. I know that you will be anxious to get home. There’s a train at six. Wilkins will take you to the train. You're sure you feel strong enough?” Julie had forgotten to say that of course she would leave as soon as she was well. Nancy hadn’t given her a chance to say it. Julie’s lips were white with the effect of the insult. She said, “Yes, thank you. If ycu’ll excuse ine to the others, I won't see them again.” (To be continued) Cepyrliht by lUri* Bltwi fy KIM r**ur*i •yndicaL*. Im
