School-boys stood close to the platform, and school-girls came, books in hand. The hall was a beautiful opera-house, and could hold at least one thousand seven hundred. It was packed and jammed, and rough men stood in the aisles.
Engrossed in meditations such as these, I was fetched earthward by the clicking of a lock, and, turning, saw the door beneath her balcony unclose and afford egress to a slender and hooded figure. My amazement was considerable and my felicity beyond rhetoric. "Dorothy !" I whispered.
It was abnormally cold even for the late fall. Dull clouds obscured the sun and furnished an illusion of crowding earthward. "A funereal day." The words slipped into his mind. He repeated them. "When your grandfather's buried," Graham answered softly, "we'll all feel happier." "Why?" Bobby asked. "It won't lessen the fact of his murder."
'Then, and not till then, did it raise its faint eyes heavenward they were tearless now. I could restrain my wonder no more. "Why, oh, why wert thou weeping and gazing ever earthward when in thy peerless beauty, sad and disconsolate and now that thou art fading from us thou art happy?"

Adjutant C , although his biplane was riddled with bullets, succeeded, by a clever ruse, in decoying two pursuers, bent on his destruction, to the vicinity of a cloud where several of his comrades were lying in wait for further victims. A moment later both Germans were seen to fall earthward, spinning like leaves in that last terrible dive of death. "These boys are Yankee aviators.
