Floyd Ammon of Cambridge City: In ordinary continued stories, the reader can look forward to reading the final installment at a definite date. Nearly three months ago we related two chapters in a continued story of which a.Conneaut woman is the Today, instead of the end of the story, we have only another chapter --chapter three. Every installment of a continued story begin with a synopsis. In our story, the characters are: The heroine, Miss Mabel Press, now 517 East Main- rd; first hero, Maurice Caprasse, sergeant major in the Belgian army during the First World War; and, second hero, Sgt. Paul Ammon, American soldier how serving in Europe.

Setting for the first chapter was Conneaut, January 8, 1918, when Mrs. Beckett--then Miss Press--sent a letter to the sergeant major with whom she was corresponding as "godmother of war." That letter, 27 years old, was found by the Yank, Sgt. Ammon, iiv Belgium last fall, thus providing material for chapter two. Sgt. Ammon, 23, of Cambridge City, intrigued--just as are all who hear the story--by the circumstance of finding a letter from an American woman to a soldier of the last war, wrote to "Miss Press," now Mrs.

Beckett. Curious about the young man whom Fate had designated to recall her memories of her girl-hood, Mrs. Beckett wrote to Sgt. Ammon. His response came a few days ago.

He found the letter, he said, in the attic of a fiouse near the town oi Harzc, Belgium. Unfortunately, however, the bag in which the American soldier, was carrying the 27-year- old letter was lost. He said while he was at the house, Maurice's brother came to see if tho dwelling been damaged in the war. The home, he said, was "in fine shape, not damaged at all by the effects of war." What happened to Maurice? News of the story's first herb would make a satisfactory closing chapter. Does Ammon know? Perhaps -one more letter to the soldier from Cain- bridge City will tell.

Many who have heard the tale say, "There's a story for Ripley." Ripley thinks so, too, for on a card sent to Mrs. Beckett, Mr. Ripley says, "Thanks for your suggestion. I hope to use it soon."
