Then there is that gloomy looking old place the State War and Navy building. the top of which you | Th ational Photo, Wash. can see over the roof of the White House offices. That is where the big part of the war plans were carried out. The President can step out of the White House offices and across the street and up some steps and be in the big building in no time. But 1 was going to tell you about the eagle and the egg-rolling too. The eagle on the Mills building is of copper and aluminum, and it was { placed there to honor an eagle that was the mascot of the Eighth Wis- consin regiment during the civil war. e egg-rolling crowd was one of the biggest [ ever saw.

BURGESS. ‘Who never takes a chance confesses That he a coward’s heart possesses. —Peter Rabbit. Buster Bear's lively twins were very much like some boys and girls. They were like them, in that they were wholly thoughtless. They were hav- ing & splendid time as they tried to catch Peter Rabbit, who was under a pile of brush. They hadn't had so much fun for days. Not once did it pop into their funny little heads that Peter was suffering because of their fun. No, sir, they didn’t once think of that. 20 - But Peter was suffering. Peter was suffering from fright, and that kind | of suffering often is worfe than suf- fering from pain. He was sure that those twin cubs meant to kill and eat | him. ,As a matter of fact, such an idea hadr't entered the heads of the twims. You see. they were still too young to eat meat. All they were thinking of was the fun of catching Peter and to zct even with him for the scare he had once given them. Peter didn'L know this. Many peo- ple had tried to catch him and every one of them had wanted him for a dinner. So Peter was sure that this was why Boxer and Woof-Woof were trying so hard to catch him. As he dodged about under that pile of brush his heart was in' his mouth most of i i i WATCHING HIS CHANCE ED OUT UNDER BOXL NOSE. HI DART- ¢S VERY the time. At least. that is the way it scemed to him. But this was nothing to the way he felt when those cubs hegan to pull apart that pile of brush. Then, for a minute, despair took pos- session of Peter. But it was only for a minute. Peter had been in many tight places before and he had learned that giving up to despair is no way of getting out of tizht places. “If 1 stay here they will zet me” thought Peter. “If T take a chance ad run they mav zet me, in which case 1 will be no worse off. But they ay not get me, 50 1 think I'll take the chance.” He listened to those excited cubs working little with might and main to pull that pile of brush apart. One was on one side and one was on the other. He bt get out at either end hetween them and get a start before saw him. He started to creep rd ome emd, but snapped a dead and the quick ears of Boxer teard it “He's coming out!” squealed Hoxer and ran around to that end i A minute or so Boxer was back. nalling apart that brush.

The most irritating form of egotism is excessive indulgence in being sensi- tive. It's bad enough to go around picking up all the bouquets, but it's a lot worse to appropriate all the brick- bats and say they were meant for you. There are always twice as many bricks as bouquets, so it gives you twice as much chance to bring your- self to folks' attention. The worst thing about being sensi- tive is that it's 50 firmly intrenched in the catagory of things nice people feel. As a matter of fact, “nice” peo- ple have no more monopoly on sensi- tiveness than “unnice” ones. never met any one yet that wasn't THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, MONDAY, APRIL 18, 1091, Bull-Dog Drummond BY CYRIL McNEILE (*‘Sapper”) A Novel of Mystery, Love and Adventure. (Copyright, 1921, by Geerge H. Doran Os.) (Continued from yesterday's Star.) CHAPTER VI WHICH A VERY OLD PLACE ON THE GAME HC I A thick gray mist lay over the Thames. It covered the water and the low fields to the west like a thick white carpet; it drifted slugglishly under the old bridge which spans the river between Goring and Streatley 1t the hour before dawn, and sleepy passengers, rubbing the win- dows of their carriages as the Il mouth boat express rushed on toward was London, shivered and drew their rugs cold closer around them. It looked cold and dead. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, the vapor rose and spread outward up the wooded hills by Basildon. It drifted through the shrubs and rose bushes of a little garden which stretch from a bungalow down to the water's edge, until at length wisps of it brush- ed gently round the bungalow its It was a daily performance in summer, and generally the window of the lower rooms remained shut till long after the mist had gone and the sun was glinting through the trees on to the river below. But on this morning there a change in the usual program. Suddenly the win- dow of one of the downstairs rooms was flung opes, and & man with a white haggard face leant out, draw- ing great gulps of fresh air into his lungs. Softly the white wraiths ed- died past him into the room behind— a room in which a queer, faintly sweet smell still hung—a room in { which three other men lay sprawling {uncouthly in chairs, and two lay motionless on the hearthrug. After a moment or two the man withdrew, only to appear again With one of the others in his arms. And then having dropped his burden through the window on o the lawn outside, he repeated his performance with the remaining two. Finally he pitched the two dogs after them, and then, with his hand to his forehead. he staggered down to the water's edge. *“Holy smok he muttered to him- self, as he plunged his head into the cold water, “talk about the morning after. . Never have I thought of such a head After a while. with the water still dripping from his face, he returned to the bungalow and found the other three in varying stages of partial in- sensibilit “Wake up. my heroes,” he remarked, “and go and put your great fat heads in the river. Peter Darrell scrambled unsteadily to his feet. “Great Scott! Hugh he muttered, thickly, “what's happened?” “We've been had for mugs” said Drummond. grimly. Algy Longworth blinked at him foolishly from his position in the middle of a flower-bed. “Dear old soul” he murmured at length, “you’ll have to change your wine merchant. Merciful heavens! is the top of my head still on” “Don't be a fool, Algy,” grunted Hugh. “You weren't drunk last night. Pull yourself together, man, we were all of us drugged or doped somehow. And now,” he added, bitterly, “we've all got heads, and we have not got Potts.” “I don't remember anything,” said Toby Sinclair, “except falling asleep. Have they taken him?" “Of course they have." said Hugh. “Just before I went off I saw 'em all in the garden, and that swine Lak- ington was with them. However, while,you go and put your nuts in the river I'll go up and make certain.” With a grim smile he watched the three men lurch down to the water; then he turned and went upstairs to the room which had been occupied by the American millionaire. It was empty, as he had known it would be, and with a smothered curse he made his way downstairs again. And it was as he stood in the little hall saying things gently under his breath that he heard a muffled moaning noise coming from the kitchen. For a moment he was nonplussed; then, with an oath at his stupidity, he dashed through the door. Bound tightly to the table, with a gag in her mouth. the wretched Mrs. Denny was sitting on the floor, blinking at him wrathfully. . . ~What on earth will Denny say to me when he hears about this! said Hugh, feverishly- cutting the cords.

Our Standard of Purity— For You The New “Cream of Ice Creams’’ THE Exp}orers who have ventured into that vast expanse of country toward the North Pole, tell 1s that very little germ life exists in the snowy regions of the Eskimo. They report that the snow ,and ice and continual low temperature makes it almost impossible for impurities to increase in this land of the midnig’ht sun. We have taken the cleanliness of the north land as our own standard of purity—however, we do not depend on the frigid temperature of our lmrdening rooms alone as the insurance of " The Velvet Kind " sterility.

Ice Cream produced under this standard of Cleanliness and by our own formula and method (Patents applied for to protect our process) assures you the best and most nutritious, pure Ice Cream ever made.
