She, on her part, almost drowsed in the relief the protection he gave her. They turned off tho road toward a group of partly wrecked farm buildings. A number of men in almost freBh khaki met them camera men, draughtsmen, topographers, specialists all on aerial observation and reporting. Some were French, others were American and English. "Banzai, Little Eva's angel!" sang out one of them, helping her down. There was laughing, chaffing, compliments, gay cries the ebullition of men and Women enjoying a breathing spell from cruelly hard, dangerous work. Sally revelled in forgetting. In the large roofless barn a theatre had been fitted up. Tiers of compressed hay bales were the seats. The stage was startling, with realistically painted backdrops and wings. Behind it a gay company was dressing one another for the final tableau of Little Eva (a 300-pound Englishman in an enormous blond wig of excelsior). He was to be lifted slowly by pully to the hay loft above heaven from which Sally, as the angel, was to ehower on him wisps of hay for benediction as he ascended. Around what was formerly the well a military band was trying out appropriate music. The chatter and laughter sounded louder than the everlasting distant

guns. There had been little , activity from the enemy for some days. The farm was six miles behind the lines and no particular object to the boche. Suddenly, however, all were electrified with the howl and crash of a shell. In the field a black fountain shot up 100 yards away. Quickly the talk and laughter died. Each man stopped in his tracks. "What's the idea?" Roger muttered. Another shell a roar, a fearful b-a-n-g being nearer this time. "They're firing at the balloon!" cried Roger. "We're directly back of it on the line of fire! Come Sally a h !" At his exclamation the whole world

suddenly rocked and plunged and roar

ed and tore itself to shreds. A shell

had hit the barn. In an Instant what had been play became carnage. Sally ws flung Into oblivion at the same moment that a toppling beam buried Roger beneath it and brought down upon him the whole platform that had been "heaven." To be continued.

ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson I am a married woman and live on a farm and work from 6 a. m. until after 10 p. m. I have two little girls, three years and nineteen months old. My husband is sixteen years older than myself. I am his second wife and his first wife died eight years ago. He had three children by his first wife. We have been married six years and the youngest was only two years old when we were married, and the oldest seven. I have raised those children- until now and also done all their sewing as I would for my own children. But he tells them now not to mind nor help me witn any of my work and it is awfully hard on me as I do not have good health. He will not get any one to help me

and he gives me only ten cents a week for stamps. He goes to town and spends $25 and $30. I never know any of his business.. I think be goes to see other women. He tells me he does when I ask him and he says he will oontinue to do so. He goes to town almost every day and when I ask him why he doesn't stay at home at all after his work he tells me to mind my d business. We have a big car and the other day I took it and drove to a neighbor's to help her cook for thrashers. When I got home he called me ail kinds of vile names and said I better not take it again. I love my husband with my whole heart and soul, but I cannot endure his treatment much longer. I try to be kind and keep my house neat and am considered good-looking. I wish you would advise me what to do. He never speaks a kind word to me any mora and flniin fault with evervthine

sign everything over to him. He

owne 500, two farms, 160 head of fine cattle and twenty-seven horses. They are all paid for. AN OLD MAN'S WIFE. A divorce is the last thing a woman should resort to, but I think you would be Justified in getting one. Try to get employment as housekeeper on some farm where you will be permitted to take your children. Advertise for euch a position in a country or town paper. You can have a good home in this way and earn money at the tame time. Then consult a lawyer and of he thlnka best enler suit for divorce and alimony. To live with man like your husband without any co-optration from

him and no help from his children would only break your health and

make you unfit to mother your own babies.

THE TARGET IN THE AIR In spite of herself a moan escaped Sally. "Oh, Roger!" she cried, her nerves giving way. "What 'am I to say? What am 1 to do? I don't know myself or you or Steve 1 don't know what to do except work, work, work! 1 don't know which way to turn for a little escape from big things big problems tho past, the future, death, hope, fear, war lear, what can I do? 1 am so tired, Roger!" She was in :tears. "I would give my right arm for a few hours of emptiness not to feel or think or solvo or decide! Roger, you're very dear to me. What else can I say?" ' - Roger tightened his lips. "You can , say though I don't deserve it that you forgive me. Sally. I shculd be shot. Men are brute

beasts. As though you haven't enough to try you! Little girl, you've said enough a wonderful deal. Look there!" A jerk of his head indicated a large pumpkin shaped balloon painted a brown-green being gradually allowed to soar up from its moorings. , It swayed slightly at its cables as it rose into the air. The observation crew, glasses in hand, and the signal men, were clear 1o view. Sally gratefully accepted Roger's proffer to escape from tension, and with her 6houl; der warmly against his watched the craft steal to its station in the sky. "That's the bag that belongs to the company we're going to," Roger said, resuming his driving. He was profoundly content to feel her at his side, to accept the silence that close friends permit themselves.

May Adopt Sugar Card System in Preble County EATON, O., July 27. As a means of securing a just and equitable dis

tribution of sugar, Preble county may be put on a card system. In a meeting of merchants of the county, the county food administration and the county price-control board, to be held here next Wednesday evening, the card plan will be discussed, which, it is thought more than likely will result in adoption of the system. Merchants in general are said to favor the card system, as it is thought it would be the means of eliminating much of the responsibility and work that rests upon the merchant under the present system.
