Had I known there were three boche machines I certainly would not have played around that boche at such a distance from Mac. When will Mrs. Weeks return to Paris from the States? Will you write and tell her about Mac? She'll be mighty well grieved to hear of it, I know, and you'll be the best one to break it to her. Write to me soon. Best regards to Mrs. Rockwell. March 24th, a. m.
"When the law is seven feet high, it stands well up." The Ry did not smile. "Make me the head of the constables, and I will keep the peace," he said. There was a sudden silence. The proposal had come so quietly, and it was so startling, that even the calm Rockwell was taken aback. But his eye and the eye of the Mayor met, and the look in both their faces was the same.
But who's that letter from that you've just taken out of your pocket?" "Oh, I forgot. Mr. Rockwell handed it to me just before I came away, and told me not to open it till I got home. P'r'aps it says that he hasn't no more occasion for my valuable services." "That isn't very likely, considering the present you have brought home. But open it; I am curious to see what is in it."

"I'm not so sure of that. I used to think Rockwell was quite a promising young man at one time. But that is not the question.
So a stop was made at the grocer's, and a supply of ginger-snaps and apples was added to their other luggage. Mr. Hiller, the grocer, was very much interested in the motor party, and came out himself to wish them good speed. "I don't know what Rockwell will do without the Maynard tribe," he said; "you youngsters keep things lively around town. And you're going to be away a month, you say.
Rockwell had fought more combats than the rest of us put together, and had shot down many German machines that had fallen in their lines, but this was the first time he had had an opportunity of bringing down a Boche in our territory. A captain, the commandant of an Alsatian village, watched the aerial battle through his field glasses.
"So the fellow was right, after all," he thought. "But it can't be possible he is to receive ten dollars a week." "Come out into the ware-room, and I will show you about," continued Mr. Rockwell. "How do you think you shall like business, Richard?" Dick was on the point of saying "Bully," but checked himself just in time, and said instead, "Very much indeed, sir." "I hope you will.
"Your resignation is accepted," said Mr. Rockwell, quietly. "If it is convenient to you, I should like to leave at once," said the book-keeper, livid with passion. "As you please," said his employer. "Your salary shall be paid up to the end of the month." To this Gilbert offered no opposition.
