CHAPTER VII—Continued "But if you were wedded to sorrow and poverty and care, your ambition thus struck dead, would strike dead your love, is it not so, i'da'mselle?” Jerome parried craftily. “Do you think me so unworthy?” Betsy demanded haughtily. "You men think we women have no greater ambition than that of vanity. But our ambition Is of the heart—to build for ono we love happiness beyond the reach of Kate.” She walked to the window and Flood looking out across the garden and into the woods beyond. "Oh,” she turned her head to look at her tutor. “I think a woman’s ambition should rise to its bravest height, oven at the very thresh >ld of death u«eif if ♦he voice of him she loves euould say to her: 'You feared not

"You’ve gone the way of all the tutors, after all your promises to father.” “Ah, Betsy—Betsy!” In his eagerness Jerome did not notice the three figures that, stood grouped In the garden looking up at the balcony and through the open window where Jerome knelt before the lady of his heart. But Betsy had seen them, and now, covered with confusion, she retreated further into the room. “Oh, Law!” she exclaimed, directJerome's attention to the witnesses. **1 know they saw us.” Jerome got up hastily as he recognized in the figures of St, Pierre, Dufresne, and a French messenger •—probably De Laugiac, ho told him-

"Captain Bonaparte,” Be Langlac called. "I have not come here to dispute the young lady's very evident charms,” the messenger stated in no undecided tones, "but to give you the word of Napoleon, and that Is that you leave with us at once to attend the fete, arranged in your honor by the former Minister Monroe, after which we are to set sail.

"Of France—of France—always of France,” Jerome sighed. "His letters,” Do Langlac extended tho heavily sealed envelopes and

bowed.

“Leave me, gentlemen, I must be alone,” ho took the letters and waved his companions away. They withdrew to the further end of the porch where they stood convers-

ing.

' Alone," Jerome talked to himself, pacing aimlessly up and down the long porch. “Nothing should bo too great or to sacreate give up,” ha repented Hetsy's words softly, “ 'if a voice in your heart should whisper; It is for France’." Ho sighed again, and disappeared if<o the hotel, leaving behind the activities of preparation for the Journey to Baltimore; tho stable boys busily grooming the Patterson hays; the trunks already piling up about the pillars; the lunches being packed in the great wicker baskets, with the long-necked bottles of wine protruding nosily out of their containers. Presently Betsy appeared on the porch looking anxiously about the garden. Her long skirt of soft yellow satin left a little train of gold in her wake. Soft satin sleeves half covering her hands that held a tiny travelling case of pony-skin, peeped out from beneath the long green scarf that fell iu diaphanous folds to below her knees. The green hat with Its long, scuttle-like front was caught and held by the green ribbons tied beneath her chin, and trimmed with small white ostrich tips. "Monsieur La—” her soft call was interrupted by the appearance of Sir Harry, and she quickly changed her Words. “No don’t be mocking me, Miss Betsy," Sir Harry pleaded, “as you always do. Now that you are going away, be kind. Tell me you'll bo carrying some thought of this poor lad with you to Baltimore.” "Glory be to God, and me heart’s full of lads already," Betsy courtesled. “Sure. Betsy, you are a heart's disease,” he shook his dark head. "But is there any hope for me, Bet-

sy?"

"Come to Baltimore—and I'M ■ <,' B-tsy promised. “Oh, Mr flay!” She waved to the figure that was hurrying across the green. "There, Harry, stop your growling.” She swiftly throw the green veil that was to have decorated her hat to the Irishman. "Therti Is the color of your native hind—and see how ugly it U. it stands for tho green eyed monster,” she called after her erstwhile suitor who hur-

ried off with hts prize.

"Ah, Miss Betsy, how cruel you arc." Henry Clay railed as he came up the path, a little out of breath. "How many hearts you are rarrying away with you." He bowed gal-

lantly.

"I? Why, Mr Clay,” Betsy returned Innocently. "Do you think for a moment that my foolrry hurts such boys ns Sir Harry and the others? Hearts? Why man doesn't grow a heart—until he la thirty-

Earth Comes Up Like Thunder When Aviator Leaves Plane In Parachute

By EDWARD B. LOCKETT International News Service Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON.— The earth comes up like thunder when aviators go down from an airplane in a parachute. This thrill of all thrills is more and more becoming the common experience of Army pilots, but it remains the biggest thrill of their lives the first time they “go over the side and down.” A joung enlisted flier who had justt made his first jump related his experience to a group of .newspaper men recently at the Langley Field aviation show. "It wasn’t so hard to jump," he said, "But there’s no explaining the awful panicky feeling you have in that short moment when your chute isn’t open and there’s nothing nolow you but a lot of air and the ground, rushing up like thunder. Your courage is all buoyed up by reassuring speeches of officers before you turn loose the ship and U you don’t think too hard you won’k realize what you’re doing. You just keep on saying over and over they always open. Grand, Glorious Feeling "AH the same its one grand and glorious feeling when that old sent under you tightens and you can look up and see that big billov-r of white letting you down easy, it doesn’t take long for the pilot chute to pull the big sail out of the bag, though and an awful jolt tells you she’s open. Your serious worries are over then. You may get scratched up when you hit the ground, or you may bo dragged through treetops If there’s a wind and you can’t handle The chute but you won’t get killed. "When you first leave the shin the ground looks just like it did inside the plane. Then you don’t see anything for a second, and then you see it again, bigger and bigger and awful close. Its mighty scary. You are moving too fast for your eye to adjust Itself to the changing altitude and you see the earth in jerky flashes, the last one when It seems as if you’re going to smash sure. Then the chute opens and you go down gradually. “Falling In the water is dangerous. When a trained pilot jumps he takes off the leg straps before he hits and rides the belly baud to the water. Its easy to undo this and

sw im off from under the falling parachute.’’ Landing from a parachute jump Sr. about Rke a Jump from a ten foot fence without one as far as the jolt is concerned, he said. Jolt on Landing The new parachutes are made of heavy white silk. The cloth is not on sale generally, and it is pretty floating down in the air. Every month the Army Inspects its chute* and once every six month’s they artdropped from a flying plane with a* load equal to a man attached to test their strength. It is fairly easy for even the layman to realize that failure of a parachute to open must be very rare when he has examined the Army chutes. In the first place the big silk eag is packed and folded so that the leas’, air pressure will enter an opening fold and each fold lends to a deepo 1one, so that the air goes clean info the parachute from the first. In add! tion, there is a little steel ribbed spring umbrella kept shut only by the canvas pack covering the chute. This opens as soon as the pack is released and snaps so it will stay open without any ah pressure at all. All necessary to open this little umbrella called thi "pilot,’’ ItMo loosen the pack covering. Pulling the String The pack is of heavy canvas, and Is held shut by heavy elastic cords stretched very tightly around the shute and attached to the edges of it. Where the edges meet there is an arrangement of slots, held together by a long wire plunger. When you pull the parachute ring this pulls out the plunger and releases the pack covering which is flung open by the elastic cords. The pilot chute then pops out, catches in the air and pulls open the big chute. Officers said they have seen a chute wide open fifteen feet below tin point where the ring was pulled and that twenty feet below they have seen the chute "holding air,” that is, resisting the downward rush of the passenger. Army fliers have all the confidence in the world in their parachutes. Attached to the ropes of the parachutes there is a heavy padded seat which catches the force of the opening chute and prevents ropes from cutting through the body of the passenger. 'yiis seat is as large as the average chair bottom and rides comfortably to the ground.

BACK FRANK 0. LOWDEN AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

DES MOINES, la., May 25.—(INS) —With Iowa leading the van, more than 300 Republican leaders from fourteen midwest states, will storm the Republican National Convention at Kansas City, demanding farm re-

lief and Frank O. Lowden Presidential candidate.

This announcement was made here today by M. J. Tobin, Vinton, la., chairman of the organization which has sprung Into existence since the threat of the veto of the McNaryHaugen bill loomed and with the apparent gain of Herbert Hoover for

the presidential nomination.

With warm weather prevailing and showers and sunshine about equally divided the past week has been very favorable to farm seeding. Most of the corn has been planted and reports received to the Indiana Farm Bureau indicate that the end ot the week will witness the completion of Cora the|planting in most sections of Indiana. It has been excellent this spring, for preparation of seed beds and planting of the different furm crops. Cultivation of growing crops will start in a week or so. and in fact even now weeding implements, cultipackers, rotary hoes and harrows are being used In the newly j planted corn Acids to destroy the

crops of soy beans have been planted, according to reports from the Farm Bureau members over the state, due to winter-killed wheat. The abandoned wheat fields were reseeded to soy beans, oats, clover or corn. The warm rains have been very favorable to all kinds of forage and grasses. The Indiana Farm Bureau announces district meetings to be held the latter part of July and in August for the purpose of studying county and township tax budgets and bond issues. This will familiarize farm bureau officers, representatives and members with tax budget laws of Indiana, with a view to reducing such budgets wherever possible and thus decreasing tax burdens of the rural people of the state. Lewis Taylor head of the Tax and Legislative Department of the Indiana Farm Bur eau, will have charge of the ten dis trict schools. Dates and places of

Tobin stated that leaders of comntlttees from Indiana. Kansas and Nebraska would not be made public at this time. He said Governor Lowden had requested the organization to refrain from active campaigning at present in states which have “fav-

orite son” candidates.

convention, Tobin said. j later In explaining the plan under which the “lobby’’ will act he stated that "flying squadrons” will be detailed to impress upon the various state dele i gallons the danger of a defeated Republican party in November If the pledge of farm relief is not kept and' a man nominated who will work to

that end.

Tobin, "keynoter’’ of the Iowa Republican convention which named a Lowden delegation to the national convention, said today in making public the Lowden-farm relief move-

ment:

"The Republican party is facing the greatest crisis in its history.” “If Eastern party leaders will listen to the voice of the west and heed the demand for economic justice, victory will come. But if they continue indifferent to the needs and rights of the corn belt and farming states and force the nomination of a candidate opposed to farm relief, no matter who he is, then defeat is invited and disaster will follow.”

the value of pasture in producing market lambs is in progress. Last year it did not pay to feed lambs grain that were on pasture. It appears that, whenever pasture is included in the ration of sheep, costs are materially reduced. The second test is being conducted on this project and the lambs will be seen on this date. The purebred flocks at Purdue Universitv furnish an interesting demonstration showing the value of good breeding. It has been 30 years since an outside ewe was introduced into the Ramhouillet flock at this institution. No ewes have been brought into the Hampshire and Southdown flocks since they were founded in 191-3, and only four owes have been introduced into the Shropshire flock since 190."). The records of this flock in the International show during the past ten years have received wide recognition. Come and see the purebred sheep. With wool at 60 cents n pound, it is well that formers study the market classes and grades. Judging of various classes of wool will bp conducted. Samuel Breese, Purdue shepherd, will demonstrate the shearing of a sheep and tying a fleece. W. W. Wilson, Muneie, superintendent of the sheep show at tho Indiana State Fair will discuss briefly the value of the Wool Show at the fair and the classes fdr 1928. Some time will he given to showing how to prepare fleeces for the fair wool show.
