Nancy Wynne Speaks of the Death of Lieut. Norton Doivns in
an Air Fight in France Charity Ball Pageant Planned.
FA. Milsom to Talk in Chestnut Hill
w,
rElll! you not soiry to hoar of Norton
Downs's death In France? Ho was In
the avlntlon vorps, and had done such
splendid work In Italy thnt ho whs sent to
Knglnnd for n more complete course. When
he returned to France ho wns put nt tho
head of n. squadron. Only a few weeks ago
he, was transferred to night work, and It
Was during tho night that lie met with
lita death In an air battle.
Norton married Alice Thompson In April
of last year. He enlisted In the nvlatlofl
and studied tlist nt Cornell. Alice Thomp
son Downs has been living nt home with
her father and mother. Mr.nml Mrs. Henry
Chapman Thompson, at Merlon. She has
ono child, and I am so glad, because It will
ho such a comfort to her. Norton's mother
was Miss Phoebe McKean, 11 daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs, Thomas McKean,
and n sister of Mrs. Benjamin Allen, Mr.
Tom McKean and Mr. Henry l'rntt Mc
Kean.
Mrs. Downs's other sdn, McKean, Is In
Trance also. He went over with the Han
cock troops and has been tlolhg splendid
work." He married Amie Merrick within
a few dujs of Norton's marriage. There
Is another brother, Warren McKean
Downs, who Is also In France. And three
sisters Mrs. Rowland Evuns, Jr. (Bessie),
l'lioebe Downs and Sarah Downs. Bes
Is taking a nurse's course at the Pennsyl
vania Hospital.
.Mrs. Downs, Sr is visiting her sister,
Mrs. Benjamin Allen, out in Colorado
Springs.
IT'S nice to hear that Kleanor Carpenter
"Wright Is perfectly well again. Sho
and Blllie have taken n house In Chestnut
Hill since he has been stationed heie In
Philadelphia. The elder Wrights. Mr. and
Mis. William Townsend Wijght, have gone
on n gunning trip to the Bloomlngdale
nunnlng and Pishing Cub at Glen Eyre,
in Pike Count. And Mr. Wright wiote
home that he had actually picked stiaw
beriles out of doors up there. What do
loti know about that In Nu ember? Some
climate that, and right In l't;ntislvanlu!
IHKAJtD estcrday Unit the pageant
which will precede the Charity Hall Is
going to be quite wonderful. The benefi
ciaries are to ls leptcsenteil by various
groups of darners under the chnperonage
of u number of prominent women The
t'nlvcrslty Hospital will be lepresented by
Mrs. Cap Hacker and Mrs. Morris Clothier,
the Jefferson Hospital by Mrs. It. EmoH
Hnre anil the Ladien' AitMli.it of the Chil
dren's Hospital will be under the patron
age of Mrs. Benjamin Bush, Mrs. Ned
llsley and Mis. John Drayton, who was
Charlotte Hush, ion know, a daughter of
Mi, and Mrs. Ben Bush Then the fourth
beneficiary will be the Society to ITotect
Children from Cruelly, and this will lie
chaperoned by Mrs. John C. Oroome, Mrs.
Norman MacLeod and Mlis Edith Bent.
ICach chapeione asks a number of gills
and younger boys to dance, and the whole
of them will take part In 11 splendiferous
and beautiful pageant and iVuice.
. The halt is going to be a veiy big affair
this year, ou know, for It Is the only thing
. of the kind planned by Society so far and
piobably will be tho only one In the
season, for even If peace comes, as It surely
will, there will b- so much to do for the
wounded and the people of Europe theie'll
be little tlmo for big entertainments.
IS'N'T It disappointing about Lieutenant
MINom, of tile Canadian Forces? You
know he waJ scheduled to speak out at St.
Paul's tomorrow, but etenluv when he
was In New York, he received orders to
report In Uostuii. so the whole thing here
Is off until later In the season, when he
may be able to come back.
I hope he will, for he Is ery Interesting
and has seen so much or the war himself.
That's It, you know. ou con talk a lot
and listen a lot to theories, but when you
hear a man who has been right on the
battlefield, in the trenchesand gassed and
wounded, who has ben face to face with
the "Bodies" or 'Bosch Germans," as the
darky soldiers call them. iu,kiiiivv oii'ie
a,bout to hear something.
ONE of
paid f
our men In the sen ice was well
for breaking the rules recently.
You "know any ono in the service must
wear his unlfiiini even when on leave
these wartimes. Well, one you Know and
I know, decided not to, and It vis on regis
tration. day. He was standing at a corner
lighting a cigarette when a small newsboy
approached and looking at him In contempt
lemarkrd, "I'll bet you ain't got no regis
tration card." The truth of the uccusatlon
brought u guilty Hush to the officer's face.
"I thought o," said the-triumphant newsy.
"No, you don't get no paper from me; I
don't sell none to slackers." It was a good
lesson. I can toll you! Our hero went
home by nil the back streets and got Into
his uniform so quick you could scarcely
rount a minute from his entrance Into the
house and his reappearance In all his bars
nnd stripes. ' NANCY WYNNE.

THE ("lennan guard, facing Peggj's pistol,
put up his hnnds nbove his head. Now
that Peggy had captured him, sho didn't know
what to do with him Supposing Ollicer
Casev shouldn't come back. Supposing ho
had been overcome by the other guard. It
wasn't pleasant to think about. This chap
might spring nt her any minute. And then
what would she do"

ICiep hint that way a minute and I'll fix
him."
Piggy wns conifoited She knew Officer
Casey was near. But why was be hiding?
Why didn't he come boldly up and take the
Herman prisoner?
Sho waited and wailed, but Ollicer Casey
did nothing Her arm giew tired, and ihe
pistol wavered a bit. She saw the German's
eyes light ftp as be noticed this and the
atiadled her baud
Suddenly theie came a thud from neaiby
In tlm forest the sound of some one crashing
to the ground n slmrp groan a brief strug
gle then silence.
The Cennan stiffened His eyes gleamed.
Evldentl) be thought aid was at hand. For
Jus a moment Pegg.v's eyes strayed In that
direction. In that moment the Oerman leaped
toward her Sho pulled the trigger of tho
pistol ' There followed only a harmless click.
The fleininn gave a cry of triumph. But
he rejoiced too soon. Whnng! A club enme
down on Ids head and he sprawled at Peggy's
feet. The club wns In the hnnds of Ollicer
Casey, who quickly had the fellow tied up.
'That finishes the last of the guard"," said
tho policeman. "You were a brave girl to
hold this chap so long with an unloaded
p'stol. It gave me n chance to get his com
panion. Now for the cave in the rocks."
They quickly climbed to the top of the hill.
There they found two tall trees thnt served
as wireless towers While they were looking
for the rest of the equipment, Bluo Jay gave
a or) of warning. A man was coming up
through a gully. Peggy and Ottlcer Casry
quickly hid themselves.
The man went straight to one of the tall
tiees. U- pulled it rope nnd there appeared
from the hushes one end of the wireles
"neilals." Then he went to the other treo
nnd pulled up the other end. The plant was
ready for business
As th man hurried back down the gully.
Officer Casey nnd Peggy followed They saw
him wo up to a rocky wall, push on a big Flab
of stone and disappear from view.
'That's tha cave tho Jajs told me about,"
said Blue Jay
From behind the wall or rock presently
came a faint Interrupted buzzing
"He s sending a wlreles message. We'll
stop that'" Saying this Officer Casey ran
back up the hill. He lowered the "aerials"
and smashed the outllt. Then, with Peggy,
he hid In tho path leading from the gully.
l"p this path the operator soon came run
ning to see what was wrong. Officer Casey
met him with a pistol a loaded one this
time, nnd in a trice the man was a prisoner.
"Now. we'll take a look at the cave," said
Ollicer Casey.
"Good," muttered Officer Casey. ".Vow
nmbe we'll find who Is supplying the wlre
Icjss messages." Coughing and pretending
that Ids voice was hoarse, he answered the
phone Ills eyes grew laiger and larger ns
he wrote down the message that came. When
It was finished he hung up the receiver.
"I recognized the volco at the other end."
he whispered exultlngly. "It's Strunk. man
ager of the. telephone company. He told of
n convoy of transports about to sail. We'll
hustle hack to town and nab the whole gang.
We've done a big service for Uncle Sam this
day. and I'll surely be promoted to the de
tective force."
"Didn't I tell you I was n detective,"
shrieked Blue Jay "What would you have
done If It hadn't been for me?"
"You're right. Blue Jay," cried Peggy. "It
It hadn't been for your thinking Officer Casev
a criminal we'd never have found this nest of
wireless spies."
And that ends the story, for on the way

the only tgress was clostd to me. The area
door aiid window we're the only means of
escape from the little court. The one was
locked the other barred I was fairly trap
ped All I bad to do now was to wait until
inv ubsence wns discovered and the broken
rope found to show them where 1 wns.
Then thev would come down to the nrea,
I should be confronted with the man. Stelze,
and m gooso would be fn'rlv cooked.
As quietly as I could I made a complete,
thorough, rapid examination or the area.
It was a dank dark place, only lit where
the yellow light streamed forth from the scul
leiy It had u couplo of low bas hollowed
out ot the masonry under the little court
vard. tin one filled with wood blocks, tho
other with broken packing cases, old bottles
and like rubbish.
I explored these until no hands mine in
contact with the damp brh ks at the buck,
hut In vain Door and window remained
ibn otil.v means of escape
Four tall tin refuse bins stood In line In
fi-nt of these two bas, n fifth wns stowed
away under the Iron stair They were all
marl full of refuse, so were uveltss as
hiding-places In anv cae It accorded
neither with the part I was pi i) lug nor with
mi sense of the ludicrous to tie discovered
bv the hotel domestics biding In a refuse bin
I was at my wits' end to know what to
do I had dareii so much, ull had gone so
si.rprlslnglv well that It was heartbreaking
to be foiled with liberty almost within my
giasp A guat wave of disappointment
swept over mo until I felt my very heart
sicken Then I heard footsteps and hope le
vlved within me.
I shrunk baik Into the daikness of the nrea
behind the refuse bins standing in front, of
the bay nearest the door.
Within the house footsteps were appioach
lug the scullery I hmtd a door open, then
n man's voice singing He was warbling In
a tine mellow baritone that popular German
ballad
"Has baben die Madchen so gerne
Dlo hn Stubchen und die tin Salong"
The voice hung lovingly and wavered and
trilled on thnt word "Salong"- the effect was
so much to the slngei's liking that he snng
the stave over again A bumping and a
rattle ns of loose object In an empty hoi
formed the accompaniment to hi song.
"A iheery fellow'" I ald to myself. If
only I could see who It was: Hut I dare not
move Into thnt patch of yellow light from
which tho only view Into the scullery wns
iifTotded
The singing slopped Again I heard a
door open. Was ho going awa? Then I
saw a thin shaft of light uudei the atea
dour
The next moment It was flung back and the
waiter, Knil. appeared, .still in his blue apron,
a bucket in either bund.
He wan comlngto the infuse bins
Pndd'nhead Wilson's advice came Into
m mind: "When angi'v count up to fom
when very angry, swtar." I(was not angry
but scaled, terilbly scared, scared so Hint
I could hear my heart pulsating in great
thuds In my cars. .Nevertheless, I followed
the advice of the sage of Dawson's Lauding
and counted to myself; one. two, three,
four,' one, two, three, foui ; while my heart
hamnieied out' Kicp-coo, keep-cool, keip-i-ooll
And all the time 1 rcmii'nrd crouching
behind the first two rcfue bins marcst the
door.
, The waller hummed to himself the melody
of his little ditty In a deep bourdon as he
paused a moment at the floor Then he ad
vanced slowly across the area
Would he stop at the lefUfe bins behind
which I cowered?
No, he passed them.
The tlilid" The fourth?
No!
He walked straight across the area and
went to the bin beneath the Ptalrs.
I mutteicd a bUs.Wng inwaidly on the care
ful habits of the (lei man who organizes even
his refuse Into separate tubs.
The man had his back to the door
N'ow or never was in chance.
I ctnwled round my friendly garbage bins,
reached the aiea door on tiptoe and stepped
softlv Into the house As 1 did so I heard
tho clank of tin as Karl replaced the lid of
the tub. ,
A dark passage stretchid out In fi out of
me lmnud'ately to my right was the scul
lery door wide open I must avoid the seni
le! y at all cjsts The man nilgnt remain
there and I tould not risk him dilving me
before lilin li.uk to the entrance hall of the
betel.
1 ciepi down the ilatk passage with hands
outstretched. I'resentl the fell upon the
latch of a dooi. I pressed It ; the door opened
Inwards Into the darkness and I parsed
through A" I softl.v closed the door behind
me I heard Kail's litav.v sttp and the grind
ing of the ke as he locked Hie area door
I stood In a kind of cupboard In pilch
darkness, hard! daring to bieathe.
Once mote I heard llio man singing his
Idiotic song. I did not date look out from
my hiding place for his voice sounded ro
near that 1 faied he might be still in the
passage
So I stood and waited.
I must have staled there for mi hour In
the dalk. I heart the vvnlter coining and
Kong in. the sculler , .listened to his heavy
tramp. t Ids everlasting snatch of song, to
the rattle of utensils, at' be went about his
work. Everv mlnule of the tinw I wus tor
tured by the apprehension that he would
conic to the eiipbonrd In the passage
It was cold In that damp subteiranean
