Lady Auckland, whose rank may be
obtained from any of the booES dealing
with the British peerage, recommends
aviation as a sport and as a cure. Dur
ing the last season she, with her son.
conducted a school for aviation here,
not merely lending hor name to the en
terprise as a passing fad, but going
into It In the most practical manner.

repairs on her flying machine.
The transition from London society
to an American workshop and business
enterprise Is Interesting. Lady Auck
land told the story.
^Jlte Is the daughter of Colonel George
M. Hutton. ('. B., a great landowner
and a noted mllltnrv man. Her mother
was ttgrandilatighter of Ark wright, the
Inventor, and on both sides of her fam
ily she Is descended from distinguished
forbears.
"My. airly yonth was spent at the
old abbey of Knauth, on the banks of
the river Trent," she said. "It was a
beautiful old black and white house of
the Stuart period, built on the site of
the Cistercian monastery razed by
llewry VIII.
"I had a very unhappy childhood, as
my mother never forgave me for being
born a girl, not even up to the time of
my marriage.
"I married when 1 was only nineteen
years old, but my married life was not
a happy one. 1 had luxuries and all
the advantages that soi'lul position can
give, but my home life was not happy.
My two boys were born nearly three
years apart, and I became completely
absorbed in them.
"I had a fearful shock In 1004 when
i discovered that my husband had lost
money on the Stock Exchange—all our
moneys that were not In trust.
"Our beautiful home at Gravenhurst
had to be sold and with It many it Its
world famed art treasures, Including
gifts from Marie Antoinette to tie
Lord Auckland of that time, who was
ambassador to France.
"I found that unless I worked we
could not keep our eldest son at Eton,
and to take him from there at that
time would have ruined his career.
"I went to work as designer to a
large electrical firm and remained with
It until I got a better position with
a well known firm of metHl workers in
London, liy this means I succeeded In
keeping- my oldest boy at Eton until he
left lu the ordinary course for the
examinations for the army.
"Shortly after this time our dear old
aunts died, and we were once again
comfortably off and bought a heavenly
place in the Isle of Wight. This house
formerly belonged to Dickens, and here
he "wrote many of his works. The
house was low, with a velvet lawn
eloping to the edge of the steep cliff
Overlooking the channel. Prom this
{itace we saw the Olympic pass and the
ill fated Titanic ou her fatal voyage.
Ilere we lived some years until Lord
Auckland again lost money. [ :
"After years of sorrow there was a
Culmination. I was only second fiddle,
so nay son and I made up our minds to
come to America, where he decided to
take up aviation.
"My oldest son was killed at St. Elol,
near Ypres, on March 1,1915, with two
|>f his brother ^officers while leading
their -detachment to take some trench
es. He was a lieutenant in the Six
tieth Itoyal rifles, having been appoint

if By CLARISSA MACK1E t.
(it
Sunderland was one of those places
that are very nice for young persons
to live In until the time comes for the
boys to choose careers and the girls
to get married or—In these days of wo
man's Independence—to choose ca
reers too. There was one period when
half a dozen or more youngsters form
ed a set that was voted the most at
tractive the town had ever contained.
Two decades passed after the set had
been all together at Sunderland when
Angela Thornton visited her old friend
Edna Wolcott, now Edna Blake. After
the greetings the two friends sat to
gether over their work talking of old
times. Some of those who had been
happy together had gone to their long
home. Others had been lost to their
old associates. Presently Mrs. Blake
Jtaid:
"Angela, I wonder if you realize mat
you are the only one of our old set who
has never married." She smiled af
fectionately at Angela Thornton.
"Yes," said Angela calmly, "I do real
ise It, Edna. I suppose the rest of you,
wives and mothers all, wonder why I
am so contented"
"Tell me the secret, dear, and I'll
not breathe It to another soul." coaxed
Mrs. Blake.
Angela's charming fuce flushed, nnd
she looked only half of her forty years.
Her hair was so fair and golden, un
touched by time, aud her skin so fresh
and unllned and her sweetness so un
manned by long years of sorrow and
loss of loved ones that her friends de
clared she had discovered the secret of
perennial youth.
"There was Alexander Finlay," be
gan Edna Blake mischievously, "the
first of • lonfr line of suitors. "Why,
Angela, why did you refuse them all ?"
"Because," said Angela quite simply,
"I was waiting for a hero, a real hero,
to arrive. Edna, I am a hero worship
er. All my life I have longed for some
romantic adventure, thirsted for a lov
er who would bravely ride up to our
gate and carry me off on a brave black
horse. I know you are shocked," she
ended with a whimsical smile.
Mrs. Blake's dark face was aglow
with amusement and some Inward ex
citement
"So you have been waiting for a
hero, you romantic goose!" she said at
last "In this twentieth century there
are no bold lovers who carry their
sweethearts off on brave black horses.
They usually elope by motorcar. Aud
Alexander Finlay Is still unmarried,
and they say he has six motorcars."
"Not if he had sixteen motorcars!"
declared Angela; then, with an effort
to turn the conversation to a less per
sonal topic, she went on. "ITow Is
Nathan getting on with his Invention?"
"■Wonderfully, If one may Judge by
his complete absorption in his work,"
returned Nathan's sister ruefully.
"Actually, Angela, he hasn't poked his
nose outside of that workshop for three
weeks except to take a short walk
around the fields. lie sleeps there,
and I have I1I9 meals sent out to him.
He says he doesn't dare leave the shop
a moment I asked him why he built
it In the center of the ten acre field,
and he said "—Mrs. Blake giggled—
"It was going to be a fine season for
turkeys."
"Tlie Ideal" gasped Angeia. iuu
don't suppose be !s raising turkeys
and Is going to corner the turkey mar
ket?"
"It's something with wings any
vray," admitted Mrs. Blake "I heard
him talking to Mr. Fellowes about it"
"What does Mr. Blake think about
It?"
"Oh, Jim? He declares Nathan Is
building an aeroplane; said he saw
one hovering oVer'the field one night
last week. - But 1 teJIhlm it's all non
sense. Nathan Isn't the sort of man
to Intent an aeroplane or anything
half so romantic. Yoti know, Angela,
what a plodding, practical soft of boy
my brother was. Well, he has grown
up to be the most matter of fact man
In some respects. He might Invent a
new sort of washing machine or some
household necessity, but an: aeroplane—
never!"
That evening Mrs. Blake repented
the conversation to her highly edified
husband, and that gentleman, strolling,
out to the ten acre field to enjoy (in
after dinner smoke with his brother
in-law, retold the story to Nathan.
Nathan listened, his dark head bent
attentively. When he lifted it at last
his expression was noncommittal The
afternoon sun shining on the lenses of
his spectacles concealed his gray eyes
from Jim's quizzical glance.
Jim Blake was rather disappointed
at Nathan's silence. He had always
suspected Nathan of having a tender
ness for Angela' Thornton, nnd, now
that Angela had arrived from her New
England home to make an extended
visit With the Blakes, Jim had craft
ily planned to do a Ut tie. matchmaking;
on his own account* And here was
Angela, most unreasonable of women,
detnanding a romantic escapade, With
a real hero in the bargain.' WliyV-£fie'
woman might die an old maid after all,
he argued as he went back to the
house, for NathOn was anything bnt
a heroic figure, with his tall, stooping
(tarm, his nearsighted gray eyes and
.■wm 1 "
Ms straight black balr and Went
tongue.
"Hero, Indeed!" he waa muttering In
bis sleep, and Mrs. Blake, bearing him,
smiled secretly.
"I wonder why he was telling An
gela that the rose garden Is haunted,"
she thought "He knows she Is quite
fearless at night and might take to
wandering around the garden to run
our ghost to earth! Strange, Jim nev
er spoke to mc about the ghost; but,
of course, I am not looking for adven
tures."
Angela was thinking about the ghost
of the rose garden, and she decided
that the very next moonlight night she
would watch for It "Not from the
window," she told herself courageous
ly, "but In the garden Itself. Very
likely It la only Edna's cook getting a
breath of fresh air after a hard day's
work, or it might be her sweetheart"
It rained the next night and the next,
and it was not until the third night
that a palo moon showed through the
clouds. Nathan appeared at dinner
that evening, and Angela showed such
a charming embarrassment at meeting
him and Nathan blinked so rapidly be
hind his glasses that Jim Blake came
to tbo conclusion that Angela's plea
of waiting for a "hero" to come Into
her life was only an excuse.
Nathan only remained a few min
utes after the meal was concluded.
Jim followed him Into the porch for a
quiet word.
"If you should be skimming around
after dark, old man," he warned his
brother-in-law, "just keep your eye
on Miss Angela. She will be search
ing the rose garden for a ghost It's
sort cf a fad of hers, you know, that
and expecting bold lovers to ride up
on black horses and elope with her.
Just see that no one does It eh?"
"Um—ah!" said Nathan rather vague
ly as ho wandered off toward the fields.
"Done, by Jove!" chuckled Jim Blake
as he lighted a cigar.
It was verging on midnight when
Angela Thornton slipped cautiously
down the front stairs and let herself
into the garden.
The Blakes prided themselves on
their lovely gardens, especially the
rose garden, which was Inclosed In a
high hedge of Cherokee roses.
The rose garden lay on the other
side of an expanse of rolling lawns.
Angela, wearing her white frock,
with a pale blue sha-wl wrapped
around her slender shoulders, went
slowly down the path and stepped on
to the springy turf. The moon, drift
ing in and out of the scudding clouds,
made alternate light and shadow on
the grass. ; ;
It was a pleasant night for ghost
hunting.
Presently there came a throbbing
sound overhead and a deeper shadow
•on the lawn, though now the clouds
had parted to let the moon shine
through quite clearly.
Angela, startle^, looked up and saw
a great object bearing down upon her
out of the night sky, a great black
winged thing'. No; lt was white where
the moonlight 'tout-bed ft!'
Then- it came aowo.'uuwu, reucueu
tile grounds rocked'cv»r; the turf and
came to a pause .within half a dozen
feet of Angela Thornton.
"Why. It's an aeroj.'luuel".she thought
and clasped her bands Id delighted
wonder, for she had never seen one
except In the illustrt.ted'papers. "The
poor man has lost his way!"
The aviator had climbed out of his
seat and was coming toward Angela.
His was a tail, thin, stooping figure
dressed In leather garments and wear
ing close fitting cap and goggles. Over
his arm he carried a big leather coat
"Angela." he said deliberately, "I've
always wanted to marry you. You re
member I asked you once years ago,
and yon called me a simpleton and"— j
"Nathan," she quavered, for she had
penetrated his disguise, "I sent you
away because I was the simpleton. 1
loved you and I wanted to raarry you,
but 3*ou were not romantic enough for
me. So I have waited"— r ?
"Waited for me?" he put In eagerly.
"Of courser -
He turned and waved a hand at the
aeroplane. "Come with me, then, dear,
and never dare to say that you flave
not had an adventure. Slip Into this
coat. There! Theiminister,at Wobura
Is waiting for us. Oh, I'm a hero—quite
an up to dateone, sweetheart. And my
motor will take ns; to Woburn and our
Wedding in a manner never dreamed
ot-by you." ^ ^ > »j
So he plucked*ia haridfuf' of white;
roses for a bridal bouquet, "and then
ho lifted Angela Into the 'passenger's
seat and strapped her Then he
took the pilot's place, started the motor
of his own inventing and presently
they were soaring at a safe height
above the treetops. jjj siaH
The moonllghj shone on the cross of
the steeple of tSe Woburn church and
I guided them straight to the minister
arid future happiness.
Tlie moonlight sboue.on the.Blakes'
rose gai-de'ns nn(f''tha 'deserted lawn.
And Edna Blake and her husband,
thrusting their heads from the win
dows of their adjoining rooms, stared
Into each other's surprised faces.
"You saw It?" asked Edna at last
"Wouldn't have missed It for any
thing," declared Jim brazenly.
"Matchmaker!" she taunted.
"Why didn't you. tell Nathan your
self?" asked Jim chuckling. ^
"He might. have suspected me of
matchmaking,", she confessed. "As It
Is, they have revived their/old -love,,
