U.S.PATENT OFFICE International Syndicate.) RIDE OVER HARDING'S TRAIL TO CAMP PASSES A VERY FAMOUS SPOT Frederick, Md. Dear J. T. C. Members: Of course, you all read of the camping. trip President Harding took out into Maryland. He was what you might cdll a “tin can camper” for a day, and I know he had a great ride, for the road through here to Harpers Ferry and beyond is a dandy, whether you are riding in a “flivver” or what he rides in, which is not a “fiivver.” The President passed the spot where stood the house Barbara Fritchie lived in long ago. Of course, the story has made both the dear old lady and this town famous. I hoped to See the house on my way to Har- pers Ferry. But the house is gone. A little creek got over its banks one time and took the house with it, so now they have put up a little marker on the bridge to show where the hoyse stood. The story about how Barbara Fritchie waved the flag when the southern soldiers were marching by is doubted by some people, but John Greenleaf Whittier wrote a poem about the story and that has traveled very far. Sometimes it seems strange how things work out, but I think the southern officer who gave the com- mand that she was not to be harmed just because she was waving a Union flag should have become just as famous as the old lady. In those times, when men and women were very bitter toward each other, It was certainly a brave thing to wave a flag at_soldiers on the other side. When you stop to think of it, the officer who gave the command “not The Young Heron Learns Many Things. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Blessed is the tender heart That makes of sympathy an art. —O0ld Mother Nature. Peter Rabbit and Sammy Jay were happy, happler than they had been for a long time, as they watched Farmer Brown's boy tramp across the Green Meadow toward home, carrying the young Heron wrapped in his coat. “It is all right now!” cried Peter, “I knew Farmer Brown’s boy would get him out of that dreadful trap. You ought to feel good all over, Sammy Jay,'to think that you succeeded in saving that young Heron's life. But for you, he would have lost it sooner or latef. No one but you could have brought Farmer Brown’s boy over to this swamp. That Heron ought to be thankful to you all hig life.” “And to you,. too, Peter,” replied Sammy Jay. “But for you I wouldn't have known about him. Then, too, you led Reddy Fox away from him. I guess he owes as much to you as to me. I wonder what Farmer Brown's boy will do with him. I think I will fily up to Farmer Brown's dooryard and see what happens.” Rather wistfully Peter _watched Sammy Jay fly away. Then he turned to see if the way was clear back to the Dear Old Briar-patch. Farmer Brown’s boy was trudging across the Green Meadows and Peter decided that this was the safest time possible for him to get home. So away he went for the Dear Old Briar-patch, lipperty-lipperty-lip, as fast-as he could to tell little Mrs. Peter all about the things that had happened down in the swamp by the Big River. Meanwhile the poor young Heron was shaking all over from fright. He was_ held fast by one of the giants he had been taught were his most jdangerous and dreadful enemies and was being taken he knew not where. His foot, which had been held so long in the jaws of the cruel trap, ached dreadfully. But that was.nothing to the fear in his heart. At last the long journey ended. It was a long journey to the young Heron. It ended at Farmer Brown's barn. Of course, the young Heron never had been in a building before and it seemed like a terrible cave. Farmer Brown’s boy put him down on his back very carefully and gently, keeping the coat around him in such 1 ! 1 Travelog Boy at Spot Where sm?l Home of Woman Whittier Made Famous. to harm a_ hair in yon gray head.” certainly deserves a lot of credit. Maybe he had an old mother at home who- thought he was on. (he right side, just as Barbara Fritchie thought she ‘was on the right side of things in_those excitable times. From Washington to Frederick is one of the prettiest rides I ever took. The road is great all the way to Harpers Ferry. You go out through Rockville and then on to Frederick. Right after you get to Rockville the country begins to roll a little, and that is what I like. Frederick is, you might say, a southern town. Its streets are So narrow it seems a tight squeeze to get the automobile between the atreet cars and the curb. There i3 only one line and not a dou- ble track in the middle of the streets. Thero are many old-time houses in Frederick and many 0dd little willages along the road. They seem to have just “one street stretched along the &ood road, as if the town was afraid to wander off the good highway and get lost. Some of these towns are just like they were sixty years ago. when the war began. But the war is gone and all we have is the memory of it in such likable old places as I passed through on my trip. I will write you soon about Harpers Ferry. Who knows what happened there that is in the history books? Ask some of your friends to tell you if they know what happened there and tell them to write to me. All you have to do to be a member of the Junior Travel Club is to watch for the paper and write to me. RUSSELL BURKE, The Travelog Boy. a way that hTS wings could not be used. There was nothing he could do but lie there. Farmer Brown's boy left him for a few minutes. When he returned he brought some strips of clean white cloth, some warm water and other things. Very gently he examined that hurt foot. “It is @ lucky thing that there RATHER WISTFULLY PETER WATCHED SAMMY JAY FLY AWAY. was a little stick caught between the jaws of that trap with your foot,” Said he softly. “Otherwise I am afraid the bones would have been crushed so that you would have lost that foot.” Gently he bathed that wounded foot in the warm water into which he had poured something from a ’bottle. It was something to make the hurt foot wholly clean. Then he covered it with an ointment and carefully wound a strip of cloth around it, tying it in such a way that there were no ends for the young Heron to pick at. By this time, somehow, the young Heron was getting over his dreadful fear. This two-legged giant was very gentle. The warm water and the oint- ment already had taken away some of the ache from that foot. Perhaps this giant wasn't an enemy after all, but a friend. The coat was untied and he was taken into a little roof and there he was gently placed on the floor on his one sound foot. He was free in that little room. He stood on one foot and blinked at Farmer Brown's boy. He was learning many things, chief among them that there are tender hearts even among the two-legged giants called men. (Copyright, 1921, by T.

'Tis a fine walk we'd have had—! “Are you a cripple?” demanded Mc- Carty. “We're not even to 34th street yet, and ‘tis not a fire we're going to, you know! There goes the buzzer again.” “And it's him! He's reaching up with his finger on the button!” Den- nis made as if to rise; but McCarty laid a heavy hand on his knee. “Sit still and let your head fall over as if you were asleep,’nhe ordered. “The fellow's got to Dass us to get out front. Donit move till I say the word!” The two relaxed figures apparently lost in slumber were not calculated to arrest the eye of a fellow passen- ger making for the exit, and Frank Hill's glance did not even include them as he descended from the car. As it started again Dennis straight ened and looked quickly out of the window. “He didn’t cross the tracks; he's heading west” he observed. “After coming all this way are we going to ride on—?" But McCarty had risen and sounded the buzzer in his turn and when the car halted again at the next corner they literally flung themselves off. Frank Hill was nowhere in sight, and the avenue itself seemed utterly de- serted. “There, you see!” exclaiméd Den- nis disgustedly as they hurried back to the street at which the valet had, alighted. “I told you we'd lose him! 1f you'd have listened to me—there's no one at all in|the side street either way." | For answer McCarty stopped ab- ruptly at the corner and pointed through the glass show window of the all-night drug store, the lights of which were the only oases in the desert of darkness about them. Hill was standing at the cigar counter, en- gaged in conversation with the weary- eyed clerk, and it was evident that they were old acquaintances. Dennis and McCarty had only time to withdraw Into a neighboring door- way when Hill reappeared and, round- ing the corner, started briskly west- ward. The others followed just in time to see him almost collide with a second figure which had been lurking in the deeper shadows of a high stoop. Both sidestepped instantly and Hill continued his way, but though he walked faster even than before his shoulders hunched forward despond- ently, almost furtively, and a certain elasticity seemed gone from his stride. “Martin!” McCarty swore beneath his breath as the figure approached them sheepishly. “So ‘twas you pulled that bonehead play! You're a dis- grace to the forc: “However in the world did you get here?” Dennis demanded, adding with sly satisfaction: “You've scared off our bird, all right! Any one could tell a mile off, Martin, that you were on_the job!” “I rode down on the same car with you, on the fender at the back,” Mar- tin responded, chagrined. “How was 1 to know he'd run into me like that? 1t's just the luck of the game. Shall I trail him, Mac? Maybe that clerk in the drug store is a kind ofia go-be- tween tn whatever businesa\prought him out and he's finished what he came for. He's certainly walking as though he was through in this neigh- borhood.” “And good reason!” McCarty com- mented. “However, 'tis no good pal- avering over. Trail him, Martin, but if he starts up town on a car or in a taxi he'll be on his way back to the Creveling house with nothing more doing_tonight as far as he is con- cerned, so you come back here. I'm going to see what that clerk knows about him.” The abashed Martin hurried off upon his task and Dennis and Mec- Carty retraced their steps to the drug store, where, the latter purchased three of the most expensive cigars in the case and remarked casually as he lighted one: “Thought 1 saw a fellow in here that I know just nmow as we were passing; tall, thin fellow, dark, with a smooth face—"" “Oh, you mean Mr. Hildreth?” the clerk interrupted pleasantly. “He and his wife live just around the corner and they trade here a lot.” McCarty removed his foot hastily from the agonizing pressure of Den- nis’ big brogan and nodded. That's my friend. all right, but he can’t have lived in the neighbor- hood long. They used to have a flat up on the West Side. Mrs. Hildreth is a mighty fine looking woman, big and blond “She’s a line woman every way!” the clerk interrupted again, his tired ace lighting up with ‘a smile. “They've only lived around in Lana- han's apartment a little more than a! month, but it's easy to tell. She don’t come In often herself, but she’s always got a kind word about the children,” he added irrelevantly. “I lost my own wife a year ago.” “Tough luck!" McCarty said sym- pathetically. “I'll drop in on the Hil- dreths one of these evenings. Which apartment house is Lanahan’s?’ “Rifth from the corner; got a cracked yellow lamp over the vestibule; you can't miss it.” “Thanks. T'll look in on you again when I'm down this way. Good night.” Out on the street once more, Mc- Carty and Dennis made their way to the house indicated without delay and halted in the vestibule while the former scru- tinized the cards in the bell plate. “Here they are. Fourth fioor,” he ob- served. “If Mrs. Hildreth is the dame 1 think she is, she’ll not be answering a ring at this time of night.” “There’ll be no need, for some one's left the door unlatched.” Dennis pushed it open as he spoke. ‘You can make some excuse to get her to let us in. Come on!" In silence they mounted the creaking stairs, through an atmosphere redolent of stale cooking, to the fourth floor, and paused before the rear door, upon Which had been tacked a card bearing the name “F. Hildreth,” written in a small, hand. guess the front flat is“empty, for there’s no card up and there was non in that space over the bell downstair: Dennis whispered. “What are you go- ing to do, Mac? Take a chance-and break the door down?” “Not if T can get in peaceable,” Me- Carty replied in a whisper. ‘T'm going to_be real sick, Dennis. Hold me up!™ Emitting a loud and realistic groan, he leaned limply against his friend with such suddenness that the surprised Den- nis was almost borne to the floor, but he recovered himself in time. Another groan welled from McCarty's throat and a third before finally there came the sound of footsteps within, the door was opened_cautiously and a woman peered out. She was tall and Junoesque in form, .with & thick braid of fair hair falling_over either shoulder and great, soft, blue eyes darkened now with ap- prehension and concern. Her loose, dark robe fell in almost classical lines about her and the light of the flaring gas Jjet in the hall gleamed softly on her creamy throat. Dennis gasped with astonishment and involuntary admiration at the vision and stepped back, while the woman asked with just a trace of an accen “What is it?

Before his foot could intercept | it she had slammed the door in his face and they heard a bolt shoot into its slide. “We've with the McCarty cried and Dennis lunged, using his brawny shoulder as a batter- ing ram, at the same moment that the sound of a subdued crash came from within.

No other door led from it, but its single window was wide open, a fire-escape showing beyond and a row of flowering geraniums lay over- turned, theinred earthen pots shattered. At a bound they had crossed the room and craned their necks out into the night. Lights were springing up in one-or two of the rear windows across the network of clotheslines, but no human figure was visible on the fire escape nor in the yard be- neath. . “Well,” vouchsafed Dennis, after a pause’ in which an eloquent glance had passed between them. “I hope the next time you tell any one they're wanted yowll have your hands on them first! Martin did not make the only bonehead play the night!” CHAPTER XIII. The Curse of Scotland. THE Hildreth flat consisted only of four small rooms and bath, the atter - evidently converted from a thes closet, and McCarty and Den- nis -searched them thoroughly, but found no trace of the woman. The quick, double honk of a motor horn in the ‘street below came to their ears as_they were on the point of de- parture and they descended to find a crowd of excited tenants gathered in the halls and on the stairs, with a blue-coated officer pushing his way through the throng. ‘“Get back, there! It's all right, there's Wo trouble. It was just a bit of a.row, but it's over now and no one hurt” The policeman winked broadly. up at McCarty on the stalrs and -then addressed the jabbering crowd 'once more. “Get back where you belong and quit making a dis- turbance or I'll send for the wagon and run you all in. Come down, sir.” He led them out into the vestibule and slammed the door after him. “Detective Sergeant Martin tipped me - off,” he whispered. “You're former Roundsman McCarty, sir?”’ “Yes,-special deputy now under In- spector Druet” McCarty explained briefly. “Woman on the fourth floor, rear, under the name of Hildreth is wanted down town and we almost had her, but she got away on the fire escape. Take Martin and search the yards and the roofs and if you find no trace of her leave him on guard in the flat until he's relieved. Report by telephone to Imspector Druet at headquarters. “Right, sir,” the policeman replied with imménse respect. “What's the Hildreth woman like?" Before McCarty could answer Mar- tin_entered the vestibule. “Hill walked clear over to 5th ave- nue’ and waited all this time for a bus,” he announced. “He's just started up town and I came back ac- cord!ng to your Instructions, Mac, but you were nowhere around and I couldn’t keep on sounding this horn! All at once hell broke loose here in the house and I figured you were in it ‘somehow.” MéCarty explained grufily. adding a déscription of the “Hildreth” woman, ‘and Martin whistled. “The Helwig girl to a T claimed. “And that valet—so that's howthe land lays! We'll find her if she’'s on the block After a few final orders McCarty, with. Dennis in tow, returned to the drug store and nodding to the sur- prised clerk he entered the telephone bopth'and called up police headquar- ters.” A long ten minutes elapsed be- fore he reappeared, red and perspir- ing,.and said in a hurried undertone to: his companijon: “Yost is on his way up to the Crev- eling 'house as fast as the inspector's owntoar can take him. He's to find out If Hill is there and stand guard over him.” t why?” Dennis spoke cautious- 1y out of the side of his capacious mduth. “Why don’t he run him in again, and bring him up_ before the magistrate tomorrow to be held for trial? You've got a clear charge against him now of aiding and abet- ting ‘that woman to jump her bail: that's’ what the legal sharks call it.” “Instead, if it's not too late for the first editions, the inspector is going to seé ‘that every morn'ng mnewspaper carries the word that he’s been re- leased for lack of evidence and is batk at the Creveling house,” Me- Cartysresponded. Yost will be there to.see that he don’t get out again or send any messages and to trace and report any phone calls that may come for him.” “I get you!” A light broke over Dennis’ face. “You think the woman will maybe try to reach him there when she learns that he's out again and back on his job?” McCarty nodded. “She doesn’t know that he's been in the neighborhood here tonight, nor that he led us straight to her. He'll keep ‘on believing that she’s safe enough and think we're only guard- ing him on his own account” He turned to the clerk who was watch- ing them with curious eyes. ‘“What are your hours here?’ “Eight to elght,” the latter replied, still staring. ‘“Where do you live?” “Right.up over the store. The jani- tor's wife takes care of my four kids, but T wouldn't feel easy about ’em if they wasn't here in the same building with me. Say, who are you fellows, anyway? It seems to me you're ask- ing a 1ot of questions around here!” “4gnd I'm-liable to be asking a lot more}”, McCarty interrupted grimly. “We're from police headquarters, if you want to know.” (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.)
