THE EVENING IELEGRAM LAKELAND, FLA., JAN. 23, 1915. ;| The effective valor of tne fox ter | rler against odds is again proven by | the achievement of the Bloomingdale | (N. J.) dog which chased a gray fox fnto a hole in Federal hill and killed it | after a desperate encounter. All for-| Jorn hopes look alike to the gay little white dog with the farge brain and | the fighting jaw. He has the elan of the French soldier, the cheerful pug-| macity of the German and the forti- tude of the Russian. Unfortunately for him sometimes, he does not know when he is beaten, and he is as eager to renew a conflict as to resent an in- sult. If of the true breed, fear is as foreign to his temperament as calcu lation of the risks of an adventure. He never turns his back upon the bristling enemy and he never bullies the weak. Brave to a fault is a de- scription that fits the fox terrier better than any of the human kind. Not for a debutante is this adorable fittle frock, although it looks so inno- cently young. The frock is for a youthful matron and is of white crepe de chine with a draped white satin bodice and shoulder straps of white ribbon. Novel Means of Communication. Wounded British soldiers in the hands of the Germans have hit upon a novel way of communicating with their ! families and friends at home. They | gubscribe small sums of money to the German Red Cross society, but as few | of them have any cash they fill up a draft or sign a check to be sent to London and honored. Or the back of the draft the banker is requested to communicate the news of the drawer's safety to his home.

Hal Duncan look ed not the first time he had been the subject of pictorial publicity. Hal was unique as a tramp and a good deal of a gentleman. Something of a mystery, too. It seemed that about two years since he had appeared among the hoboes. They made a favorite of him, Yor many a story was told of his care for poor sick fellows and homeless ones, many a stirring tale of sowme thrilling exploits in a discovered in time to save a whole business block, a knockout of foot- pads who would have killed a victim but for his i ference, the rescue of two little ch en from a burning building. Hal shared everything with his fel- low unfortunates except his moral na- ture of his self-respect. He never got down to rags. He was a reformer all through and had made a famous speech in behalf of the poor and op- pressed that had got into the papers. But he was dead to the old world, where apparently he must have once led a life of what people call re- spectability. Now for a moment he seemed about to resent the proposal of tha ener- getic young newspa, r er. then with his wsual cars 1f-abandon he shruzged I 5 vesignedly and said: “All right. I need the money and I guess | can slve you good vglue.” Pathos, adveuture, himor rough many unique shades of rar nan in- terest Hal led the interested reporter. fearful mistake. They had got tbe pic- ture of Hal over the Walton article. There he posed as the lauded candi- date for congress! The journey was a slow one and Hal was glad to put in his time look- ing over the campaign literature he had picked up the day previous. A sample speech interested him. Evi- dently Mr. Walton was reaching for the popular vote. A good many hu- mane sentiments that he enunciated rather feebly were greatly in accord- ; ¢ ance with Hal's ideas. “How I would like to set myself loose on that subject in a genuine free and easy way!” ruminated Hal. When he arrived at Derby he found the fair and a big political the attractions of the day. Posters | announced a mammoth mass meeting that evening to boom a certain tick-t in which Hal noticed the name of Rou- | ney Walton. It was late that afternoon, just as Hal came out of a restaurant that a prosperous looking man stopped, stared at him, drew a newspaper from his pocket, glanced at it and then went up to Hal. “Mr. Walton, surely?” he said. wouldn't have known you only your picture in the paper. must come at once to headquarters. A speech from you will just about fill out our program.” At once Hal comprehended the situ- aticn. A whimsical resolution seized % | him. He had been mistaken for Mr. | Walton. He allowed himself to be introduced to the committee. he was given a royal banquet. Then the speeech! Hal Duncan let loose all the eloquence he possessed. 3 “Why, the crowd just went wild!” enthused a committeeman. “Mr. Wal- ton, you have carried the day for us. We wish to entertain you tomorrow—" but with the morrow Hal had gone. The masquerader was a good deal surprised when a month later the Star reporter ran across him in an- other town. “Been looking for you for a week,” declared the latter. “That speech of yours elected Mr. Walton. He wants you—bad.” He wanted this natural orator so badly that when Hal returned with | the newspaper man to Wellsville, he engaged him as his secretary forth- with. Hal Duncan became a changed man. One day he stole away from Wellsville and visited the home of his childhood. It was to find Hazel waiting for him. Yes, true womanly love had disdained all new suitor: i “I knew you would come back,” she told Hal, serene in his cherishing Brins. “My heart was with you through all the long ordeal that has shown you to be a man among men.” And then there was a wedding and Congressman Walton gave away the beautiful bride.

This was satisfactory. “What | & | | ! | | m SOFCGFHOPRFRFOFOFRHSOPOHOFRPQ PO SO POPERSOHOHO OO+ t The Star Had Made a Fearful Mistake. The latter regarded the narrator both pityingly and admiringly. “There’s your mouey,” he said, “and you've given me some good stuff. [ say, though, it scems a pity to see a man of your intelligence wasting your life like a common tramp. Why, my friend?” “Call it the ‘wanderlust, disgust with the so-called respectable world!” laughed Hal. “I have found warmer hearts among the wreckage of human- ity than I ever knew in society.” The “why” of the reporter, who left Hal, with a cheery “Good luck,” sent the latter into a sudden reverie. “Why,"” indeed! Before his mental vision passed a series of vivid pic- tures of a small fortune left to him, of being “the best fellow” in his home village. Then love—his head drooped sor- rowfully as he thought of Hazel Green. How he had loved her! how winsome she had been—but strong drink had not then relaxed its awful influence over him. He finally found himself penniless. Pride. remorse tortured him. A man who had money and position became his rival. Hal knew that Hazel loved him, but a bet- ter man had come between. Hal left the town desperate and became a homeless wanderer. With a sudden spurt of resolution he banished the memories that so tor- mented him and arose to his feet. He placed the five-dollar bill in his pocket. Then he noticed some papers the reporter had thrown aside. They were political campaign documents reciting the views and giving a speech of Rodney Walton, candidate for con- gressman in the district, These also Hal thrust into his pocket. He proceeded to a barber shop and thence to a store where he purchased a hat and some collars and a tie. His clothing was not bad and, brisked up, he would scarcely have suggested the tramp to a casual ob- server. Long since Hal bad recognized the evil of stroug drink and had elim- inated that feature of his reckless life. The pessession of money made a gen- erous meal at a restaurant a luxury. Then he secured a cheap room at the hotel and slept in a real bed for the first time in months. There was & fair at Derby, a town sixty miles away at the extreme edge of the district. Hal felt like playing the gentleman while his money lasted. He bought a ticket for that place, the morning newspaper and selected a comfortable seat in the train. “Hello!” he ejacuated as he opened the sheet—*"here's my story.” ‘There it was and next to it was a ‘boom for Mr. Walton, the congression- al candidate.
