"?althy glow and the few freckles on | his nose. j When he joined the aviation corps he said, "I am going to bring down a f German plane for every year I have' t lived. I want to say I have done thatj much for America." He had brought c ?hem all down except hts twenty-four- \ th?"Yonder machine is an adver- \ sary worth having", he said as he s ipped and rose again in the air.! a Nothing was heard except the pur-| A-f fUo onnnnoe wlnVIl coomorl fn ! liilg U1 lllig ffMAVii WVVM4VW WV . out the seconds of each pilot's life.!

We have no use 1 anyway for the reader whose ques- < tion as to why the bomb did not ex- i plode in the American lines is anticipated. 1 "Just the Luck of a Private." After a dark, dreary day of rain,1J unceasing rain, had passed, it seem- ? ed that another was beginning to 1 set in. So Jim Harper, a young Am-i erican soldier of twenty-one years, i < thought moodily. Khaki would have j1 become the boy, with his large blue;s J 1.1 !_ !_ _ 1 J 1_ _ 1 M | eyes ana oiacs nair, naa ne oeeniJ back home; but now he sat in his[ ' dugout just behind the lines, on a s | dilapidated looking cot which seemed, ' scarcely able to bear his weight. 11 The once interesting sights and ! ounds 'out there" had lost the charm Si f novelty and this promised to be long, tiresome day. At first, he thought of writing ome letters but prefaced this by aying, "Oh, how I hate to write! If ej verybody knew how bad I hate to do tc t, they'd appreciate my scrawl." pi Then he pulled his ink from under tl he cot, but his pen was nowhere to d< ie found. Down upon his knees he sl parched under the cot and every- di /here muttering, "I do declare this J 3 just the luck of a private." r( After searching long he found it lung in the springs of his cot. He xpected to find the point broken, iut luckily it was airright. He be- p< ;an to write and get along very ^ veil until he heard a nosey superior . ay, "Private Harper, you will be on ^ :uard for the next 'twelve hours in 'rivate Lee's place." "Well, that 71 neans no letters! This sure is what 3C call the luck of a private." r. So the letter went unfinished. Jim _ I1 iaced up and down wondering what hance put him in Lee's place and | w hinking of his hard luck as night ^ Irew near and no one came to re-'p, ieve him. Finally, as he came near his own g lug out he saw something glittering n front of the opening. Getting tl losed to it he found, much to his t urprise, that it was a bomb sent b; rom the German lines. He picked t up in time to save his own dug-out; t] tnd those near it and with one big a iffort he pitched it toward the Ger- o nan lines. It fell in the midst of h our men killing three and wounding a he other. tl This was a perfect end to an itherwise tiresome day. When Pri- j tl rate Harper was commended for f vhat he had done,, he grinned and tl aid, "Well, it was just the luck of! z i private." i ; ) T ! _ A ! j-<yuia uwen. c * * * ' ?
