Before be could say any more, she
began to talk excitedly.

But Eve, bound by an old custom
of her childhood, went about putting
out candles and setting up the Are

homely heavenly things that ended
In their going up the stairs, hand
close In hand, to their room together.
"Good night. Denny darling." Eva
whispered as she went up the stairs
It was windy April, with the
long yellow sprays of forsythla. the
reddening maple buds, the old fasci
nation of outdoors that Eve had for
gotten In her years of city work
Denny's absence stretched to a month
The dally letters kept Eve happy.
Once he telephoned, on top of the
world He was doing wonders. An
other time. Denny fashion, he was
"lower than a snake" in a bad terri
tory. Eve w.ote her own letters and

"Eve, premise me you won't, you'Jl

"But, Denny, why not If Mltzl can?"
Hii voice had the patience of the
male confronted with the unwise fe
male: "Listen to this, sweet MitxJ la
splendid business-woman and an old
friend of the whole family. She's got
It In hand. If you or even 1 put In an

and she's right She made me promise

Eve held her breath, standing at
the telephone.
"Go on, Denny."
"Something's broken. Herndon's

make it permanent and enough
money for two to live on. I have to

be back for two or three weeks It
depends on whether Bill gets well or
not of course."
The excitement In his voice was
echoed In Eve's heart
"Oh, Denny, grand! And you with
your fatal charm, of course, you'll
do It!"

Warm, Hushed Old Room
SHE returned to the others finally,
her cheeks burning, her heart
pounding, Denny's excited adoring
voice In her ears. George was prepar
ing to go. remarking that they rose
at seven.

mostly, that was coming.
'Not RentlngT She's Craiyl'
"AM j overpractlcal and sordid?'
Eve demanded of George one
day at the beginning of May.
She had almost forgotten George',
moment of desire to marry her; h
had completely fallen Into the role ul
family friend. Today he had come
over with an armful of rosebushes
He had brought too many; she might
like them for the gaps In the rose
border through the lawn that led t
the orchard, he said.
He looked up from where he war
kneeling, putting In a bush, and an
s we red:
"One can't be overpractlcal. You
don't seem to me" a little smile
twitched the corners of his mouth
"sordid. What brought that up?"
"Marylln and Peter. They'd rathei
live from hand' to mouth than 'do
potboilers.' And Peter could make a
good living at book covers and he
knows nobody wonts those mathe
matical swirls. All they have Is an
Income they iet twice a year from
her father's estate. They could do f
much more for Judge and not have
to be all the time making those Jokes
about being paupers that are so son
of brave and pitiful, and need to have
their friends always lending them
things. If she'd try to write salable
stories and he'd do commercial work
And yet If you have a talent"
George said slowly: 'It depends on
whether It makes them unfair u
other people. 1 was a bit worrier
about whether you had money enougr

enough to manage till then." She
stopped herself on the edge of telling
him that when Denny came back
with his now nearly certain traveling
lob she'd be married anyway.
George rose and looked down
her with his kind worried blue eye
"But "hild. the real estate agen'

"George She's crazy"
"Look here, better let me run you

enemy territory, took notes on the
positions and strength of rival forces
and leisurely flew back to the home
field. If, pe reliance, they met an
enemy plane en route, they waved a
friendly aalutlon and passed on. This
state of affairs didn't last long, however.
Revolvers and rifles began to find
their place In the cockpit. Penceiul
pilot, not ypt up with the trend ot
events, found to their amazement
that an army wave to an enemy pilot
brought a return greeting of lead.
The next step was bombing. Ob
servation planes started carrying light
bombs to drop on the enemy, more
for their demoralizing effects than
for the damage they created. Finally,
though, It dawned on army heads that
larger explosives . might create some
real havoc. Tney did. Military avia
tion began to look like a potent fac
tor. One obstacle remained the de
vising of a machine gun for airplanes
It was impossible to fire bullets
through the propeller area where gun
fire was most needed. The trouble
was of course, that no way had been
perfected to keep the bullets from
striking the propeller blades.
Anthony Pokker, civilian employe
in the German air corps, was detailed
to the matter. Though he had never
handled a machine gun of any kind
before, it took him just 48 hours to
