Tom Chester looked at Lillian ‘‘He reports Mr. Drake safely in the car at the end of the road, with everything in readiness for starting, he said “Good," Lillian commentend. “I'll ust step over and get your father.

Dimly I foresaw an un- pleasant minute or two with Dicky if his car should be seriously damaged, but I was too tensely strung for the present emergency to worry about a possibility so remote. The tension did not lessen during the next hour, while Lillian, Dr. Pet- tit, Tom Chester and I sat in the 1i®rary waiting for the messenger who should tell of Allen Drake's safe ar- rival at the other end of the route where the strange limousine waited for Smith. Lillian did her best to make the oc- casion seem an ordinary one, but Dr. |realized permitted to do it." On the Road She was out of the room before she fairly had finished speaking, and was back again with my father in short order. From that minute things moved so swiftly that I was guiding Dicky's car ddwn the driveway in the wake of Dr. Pettit, with my father bringing up the rear, before I fully that I was fairly embarked upon the expedition which was to wit- ness the departure of Smith from our neighborhoed. Tom Chester's bicycle was in the tonneau of my car with a robe concealing it from any passing curious glance, and Tom Chester, himself—pallid and visibly trembling with physical weakness—sat by my side, Before we had gone a mile I began to have grave doubts that the young fellow's flesh would be able to an |swer the demands which his indomit- able spirit was putting upon it. 1 feared that the journey of almost two miles through the wood road in the wake of the limousine would be a physical impossibility by the time we reached the spot, and I began to rack my brains for a plan by which I could keep from failure the piece of work for the completion of which Lil- {lian had toiled so long. We were about half a mile from [the entrance of the wood road, the |location of which I knew perfectly, when by prearrangement Dr. Pettit began to zigzag his car back and forth across the road as if he were in- toxicated I knew that my father, back of us, would blow the horn of the car he was driving, as soon as the entrance of the road came in sight, and I grasped the rather wobbly wheel of Dicky's car tightly, in readiness for the quick turn I was scheduied to make a few yards the other side of the entrance to the wood road.

Almost always he slept the whole night through without once stirring. But once in a while something would rouse him out of his slumbers and then he would lie awake for a time in his little room under the eaves and | listen to the katydids making their music, or the frogs giving their night-| ly concert. Sometimes he would hear Solomon Owl's unearthly laiga- ter, or Solomon's cousin, Simon | Screecher’'s quavering whistle. Johnnie Green learned to know the night noises—most of them. But there came a night when he heard a| sound that made him sit right up in his bed “My goodness!” he exclaimed. And leaping out into the chilly night, he} pattered downstairs and called, | “Father! Mother!” Well, the Green family had been abed for hours. It was no wonder that Johnnie's parents were startied “What is it? Wha the matter?"” Farmer Green cried as he dashed in- t6 the kitchen, with his wife follow- ing him with a lighted candle. Farm- er Green reached for the old gun above the chimney piece. "Is there a fox in the henhouse?"” he asked John- nie breathlessly, “No, Father sad Johnnie. that! But I'm sure I heard a baby whimpering somewhere out of doors.” His father hung the gun back on the hooks where he always kept it “Ho!" he said “You've been dreaming. Get back to bed, and go to sleep.” Feeling somewhat sheepish, John- nie Green climbed the stairs and crawled under his hed-covers. Just as he was getting drowsy he heard that fretful wail again Johnnie pinched himself. “I'm certainly awake,” “There's a baby out there. there is.” Once more he went downstairs Once more Farmer Green told him to go back to bed, and said, “Nonsense!" and “Fudge!” and a number of other words, all of which meant abhout the same thing. So Johnnie Green went to bed. And this time he fell asleep without hear- ing the strange cry again Meanwhile something—or “Not he eald 1 know some- his way to the patch of sweet corn that grew at one end of the vegetable garden.

Tt was his call that Johnnie Green had heard. Though the sound was like that of a baby's ery, Fatty was anything but unhap- py. He was in the best of spirits. He ate a good, big supper of jujcy eorn. And then, lfttle dreaming that he had been the cause of the whole I Green family's getting out of bed at that time o' night, he shuffled off to Cedar Swamp, where he went to | sleep just as old Mr. Crow began to caw hoarsely over on the edge of the| woods.

Des Moines, Jowa., Oct. 12.—The writer of the music to ‘‘Marching Through Georgia,” F. A. Winters of Altoona, Pa., was among the thou- sands of grand army of the republic veterans who attended the recent en- campment in Des Moines. Mr. Win- ters was given the words to the fam- ous song and to them composed music as familiar to every schoo! as it is to every veteran. Winters was the youngest band |master in the civil war, holding that rank when but 17 years of age. He was with the 63rd Pennsylvania heavy artillery. In more recent years, he has been |prominent in musical circles. De- spite his 70 years, Winters is still able to delight his friends with his playing upon the piano. _ ' FRANCE CELEBRATES Paris, Oct. 12.—The movement throughout France to celebrate the anniversary of Columbus’ discovery of America took a wider range this year than ever before, 120 municipalities commemorating the day.

UKRAINIANS VISION FUTURE PROSPERITY Grain Stores Increasing--Poverty May Disappear in 1923 Kharkov, Oct. 12.—Poverty and plenty today run hand in hand along the railroads in the Ukraine, a coun. try once known as the granary of Europe. There are bulging ware- houses of grain at some stations, none at all at others, while beggars be- siege the paskenger trains at every village. The Ukraine this year as last can. not produce enough food for its' own people. The grain crops for 1922 are only about 60 per cent of normal, and Soviet officials frankly admit that out- side aid from rellef organizations is necessary until next spring at least, especially among the children if the villages. The peasants, say the .of- ficials, are quite able to take care of themselves, excepting in the scattered districts where there was a crop fail- ure due to drouth or lack of seeds last, season. There are splendid creps this year in a few districts in the northern part of the Ukraine—equally as good as in normal times. But in the south great stretcher of land were affected by hot weather and there is not near- by enough bread stuffs to go around. Ukrainfan officials say that with the aid of the central Soviet government they are making arrangements to transport 4,000,000 poods of grain from the north to the south. From districts where food has been scarce even in summer, people have been flocking to the towns. - As a re- sult there are as many beggars in the SALLY AGAIN SEES HARRY STANLEY “Harry Stanley! Sally, with flushing face that changed her pink rouge to ruby, turned over the card to find there scribbled in an eager hand: “Oh, Sally, if you remember me, please see me—for auld lang syne. Harry." Harry Stanley, the nice, friendly boy who had taken her part agaln.. his mother! Who took no notice of a slavey's garb but was kind to her —a drudge. The first human being to whom she had been more than “Cinders!" “‘Oh, do tell him to come in!" she cried eagerly to the stagehand, who nodded and left. My only-—the first friend I ever had,” she said, her eyes suffused, turning o Lucy Bennet, ‘and tonight, of all times!" “You'll have put him off, Miss Sally—" Canby's volce came coldly. “You're engaged—" “Not for anything!” The little financial backer of the Frolics stared at the country girl who calmly turned down his invitation for a schoolboy. His eyes narrowed. “All right,” he said indifferently, “suit yourself.” He turned and be- gan to talk to Lois Fern, the regal chorus lady who had prophesied Sal- ly's danger. Sally saw depression settle upon Golden's uneasy face. He came to her. “Don’t be too brusque with Canby,” he said in a low tone. ‘He—he's rather important to the outfit. Play along. You'll find him fair in the main."” Before Sally could answer Harry Stanley came hurrying up, his face radiant with pride.

Even in his eagerness he noted the embarrassing pause. Canby turned to see how Sally would take the invita- tion. Golden was obviously ill at ®ase. Miss Bennet herself was at a loss. It was Sally who jumped into the breach: ‘“T'd love to, but—I don't know what to do.

Tom Mix, more dashing than ever, ¥ again at Fox's, this time in “Do or Dare,” a drama that has quite a bit of the melodramatic in it. The role is a new oneé for Mr. Mix, inasmuch as he plays two roles. At first he appears as a stalwart frontiersman who, as an Indian fighter in the far west, saves an army captain's daugh- ter from death and then saves the camp from massacre. Two genera- tions later, Tom Mix as a sophisticat- ed city youth, monocle and all, is seen as a grandson of the old Indlan fight- er. Getting into a acrap, he qujts the city and 'goes west, where “he eventually finds himself, emulated his brave forebear and eventually fin- ishes his daring adventures in a South American revolution where he achievs fame and the girl of his dreams. On the same program are four high class vaudeville numbers offering a variety of songs, dances, eccentricities and comedy. The latest episode of The Timber Queen {s also being shown. Stage carpenters and electricians at Fox's are getting the stage all in readiness for the advent of Hoyt's Revue, which opens their en- gagement on Monday. New _scenic effects will be one of the features of this company, which has a cast of capable principles and a chorus of pretty girls who can dance and sing. The comedians are side-splitters. -_— larger places as last year, when there was a crop failure. Some of the beg- gars are almost plump, while others are as thin as can be. They resemble the plctures of hungry natives of In- dia, and appear barely able to move about. In the poorer districts the village dogs, too, have become beg- gars, like the dogs of India—gaunt, mangy creatures that eat ravenously even the cantaloupe and apple peal- ings throwm from the car windows. In add .ion to its fair grain crop in the North this season, the Ukraine has produced also about 13,000,000 poods of beet sugar, three times more than last season, hut barely enough for the 30,000,000 inhabitants of the Ukraine Soviet republic itself. Ukrainian officials say they have plenty of potatces this year, and that from present indications of the fall planting there are prospects of nearly a normal grain crop for 1923. This, they belleve, would put the country on {ts feet again. BIG DIVIDEND PAID Woolworth Company Declares $2 On Common and $1.75 on Preferred— American Radiator Extra. New York, Oct. 12.—Directors of the F. W. Woolworth Co., operating a chain of 6 and 10 cents stores, has declared a regular quarterly divi- dent of $2 on the common stock and $1.76 on the preferred. They also voted to call for retirement on Feb- ruary 8rd, 1923, of all of the out- standing 7 per cent cumulative pre- ferred stock at 125, which will re- uuire approximately $11,470,000, all of which will be provided from cash on hand, so that no new financing will be redwired. New York, Oct. 12.—The directors of the American Radiator Co., have declared an extra stock dividend of 50 per cent. in common stock. The di- rectors said they expected business conditions-would continue to warrant maintenance of the regulag quarterly dividend of $1 per share on the in- creased issues of common stock.
