V IN BOXHOLDERS OF TODAY'S SHOW
f Very Large Number of Persons Have Subscribed to the

With Society Belles and Beaux
!'k
THE Horse Bhow and the , different
affairs given In connection with It find
number of entertainment for tho Unrlc
Clayton wedding party will be tho chief
happenings of the day, nnd, believe me,
these will be some happenings, I'm think
ing. To begin with, bo many persons who
hare returned to their country houses
' have not been In town yet, for they are
till scared to death about the epidemic
of Infantile paralysis In the city, so you
see there will bo many to seo today who
have been away since the Dovon show In
May.
BIr Adam Beck, who with Lady Beck
will be tho guest of tho Herbert Lloyds,
has taken a box, and thero will bo tho
"usual boxholders and tho usual dress
makers' models and everything else cal
culated to mako the show the fetching
outdoor affair It always Is.
The little debs will bo on view for tho
first time this season, several of the
parents having taken boxes. Katharine
Hancock, whoso fathor and mother, Mr.
and Mrs. James Hancock, have a box,
will entertain every afternoon, and Anno
Jtelrs will also have a number of tho
buds In her parents' box.
Among tho regular boxholders will be
Jock Valentine, Doctor Stout, "William
Barnes, William Wanamaker, whoso
beautiful llttlo debutante daughter Isabel
will exhibit her horses at the show on
some days and entertain in her box on
others; Mrs Kdward Schmidt, Charley
Munn, Bom Curwen, John Crozor, Aleck
Van Rensselaer, Charllo Da Costa, Victor
Mather, Charllo Wheeler, William Ellis,
the Clarrlo Dolans, Charlton Yarnnll,
Eddie Cassatt, Do Witt Cuyler, Blllle
Gothler, Edward Stotesbury, Bob Mont
gomery, Henry Tatnall, George Bosen
jgarten, the Walter Jeffords, Edwin Varo
and his debutante daughter Charlotte,
who Is very pretty nnd attractive; Wil
liam Lleber, Sam Riddle, .Bob Straw
bridge, William Wright, Samuel Vauclaln,
George H. Earle, Jr., Miss Amy du Pont,
J. N. Pew Jr., and hla new bride, who
was Alberta Henscl; William Donncr,
Htncklo Smith, Charles Mather, John
Hampton Barnes, Plunket Stewart, Lewis
Riley, Mrs. Frank Clyde, Theodoro Ely,
W. W. Atterbury, Aleck Coxo, Archibald
Barklie, Charllo Harrison, Franklin Mc
Fadden, Ben Rush, Charles Coxe, Doctor
Baker, Richard Melrs, R. Penn Smith,
Jr., Harry Dlsston, Isaao Clothier, Drexel
Paul, Herbert Lloyd, Mahlon Hutchin
son, Tom McICean, Albert Rosenthal and
several others.
Mrs. Rob Griffiths entertained at lunch
eon today for the bridesmaids of tho
Earle-Claytqn wedding. Her daughter,
Mrs. Neddy Page, is to bo in the bridal
, party, which reminds me I hear the
cavalry will not return as Boon as tho
Infantry from tho border, which Is a bit
hard on tho little brides. Mrs. Page
has been erroneously Bpoken of as a
war bride, which Is rather foolish, con
sidering her engagement to Neddy was
'.'announced long beforo thero was nny
idea that things wero going to get any
more serious In Mexico and tho wedding
was to have taken place this coming
month, so naturally it was easy enough
to hurry things when the call came for
the troops to go to tho border, and there
was certainly no sudden engagement and
rushed marriage, which Is tho general
way for a war bride. To go back to the
Earle wedding entertaining this evening,
Pater and Mater Earlo will give a dinner
at their Bryn Mawr homo for the whole
party and tomorrow the Claytons will en
tertaln at supper.
One hates to hear of broken engage
ments, yet It is so much better for a girl
,to break her engagement than through
lock of moral courage allow It to go on
Without love. I heard of a little happen
ing this summer which concerned two
persons who were engaged and who for
some reason spent the entire summer
without seeing each other. Well, as time
came to return to town the girl in the
case suddenly realized that she had not
missed htm a bit all summer, and fortu
nately she did the obvious, honest thing
at down and wrote to him and told htm
the truth, that she had discovered that
she had not missed him a bit and had
had b. wonderful time without him. It
' may have been a bit hard on her per
sonal vanity, but his answer told her
' 'that her letter had been a perfect god
'send, as ho had gone through the Borne
experience and had been afraid to tell
,her, and so had decided he would bo a
j sport and go through with It. And they
are both living happily ever after and are
good friends, which is greatly, to the
1 point, don't you think?
Not that I would advocate breaking
I an engagement for small reasons or a
. mere whim, but If two persons nnd mat
they do not care for each other It's bo
much better to make tho break before
marriage than to regret it afterward.

surrender of tho woman, which Jenka, of
course, refutes. The Mohammedan. In ex
enanse for promised freedom, becomes
Jenks's ally.
Jenka, by a dartnir move, rlsa up a con
trivance which enablea him to render tho
clirf overlooking tha ledse dangerous to tno
Dynka. Shortly after he returns from tnla
etpedltlon tho Mnhommedan appears, aeka
for a rope, tlea eomethtnjr to It nnd telle
Jenka to pull.
OIIArTKn XIV (Continued)
"TTSUALLY It Is the sahib who says
U pull,' but circumstances niter cases,"
communed Jenks. He hauled steadily at a
heavy weight a woatskln filled with cold
wnter. Ho emptied tho hot and sour wine
out of the tlncup, nnd was about to hand
the thrice-welcome draught to Iris when a
suspicious thought caused him to with
hold It.
"Let mo tnste first," he Bald.
Tho Indian might have betrayed them to
the Dyaks. Moro unlikely things had hap
pened. What If tho water were poisoned
or drugged 7
Ho placed the tin to his lips. The liquid
was musty, having been In the skin nearly
two days. Otherwise It seemed to be all
right. With a sigh of profound relief ho
gave Iris the cup, and Bmlled at tho most
unladylike haste with which she emptied It.
"Drink yourself and give me some more,"
she said.
"No more for you at present, madam. In
a few minutes, yes."
"Oh, why not now?"
"Do not fret, dear one. You can have
all you want in a llttlo while. But to drink
much now would make you very 111."
Iris waited until he could speak again.
"Why do you " sho began.
But ho bent over tho parapet
"Kol hal I"
"Sahib I"
"You have not been followed?"
"I think not, sahib. Do not talk too
loud ; they are foxes In cunning. You have
a ladder, they say, sahib. Will not your
honor1descend? I have much to relate."
Iris made no protest when Jenks ex
plained the man's request. She onty stipu
lated that he should not leave the ladder,
while she would remain within easy earshot.
The sailor, of course, carried his revolver.
He also picked up a crowbar, a most useful
and silent weapon.
Then he went quietly downward. Near
lng the ground, he saw the native, who
salaamed deeply and was unarmed. Tho
poor fellow seemed to be very anxious to
help them.
"What is your name?" demanded tho
sailor.
"Mir Jan, sahib, formerly nalfc In the
Kumaon RiBsala."
"When did you leave the regiment?"
"Two years ago, sahib. I killed "
"What was the name of your Colonel?"
"Kurnal I-shpence-sahlb, a brave man,
but of no account on a horse."
Jenks well remembered Colonel Spence
a fat. short-legged warrior, who rolled off
his charger If the animal so much as looked
sideways. Mir Jan was telling the truth.
"You are right. Mir Jan. What is Taung
S'AH doing now?"
"Cursing, sahib, for tho most part His
men are frightened. Ho wanted them to
try once more with the tubes that shoot
poison, but they refused. He could not
come alone, for he could not use his right
hand, and ho was wounded by the blowing
up of the rock. You nearly killed me, too,
snhlb. I was there with the bazaar-born
whelps. By the Prophet's beard, It was a
fine stroke."
"Are they going nwoy, then?"
"No, eahlb. The dogs have been whipped
so sore that they snarl for revenge. They
say there Is no use In firing at you, but
they nre resolved to kill you and the mlss
sahlb, or carry her off If sho escapes tho
assault."
"What assault?"
"Protector of the poor, they are build
ing scaling ladders four In all. Soon after
dawn they Intend to rush your position.
Ydu may slay some, they say, but you can
not slay threo score. Taung S'AH has
promised n gold fnufc to every man who
survives If they succeed. They have pulled
down your signal on tho high rocks nnd
are using the poles for the ladders. Thev
think you have a jadu, sahib, and they
wont to uso your own work ngalnt-t you."
This wns serious news. A combined at
tack might Indeed be dangerous, though it
had the excellent feature that If It failed
the Dyaks would certainly leave the Island.
But his sky sign destroyed! That was bad.
Had a vessel chanced to pass, tho swinging
letters would surely havo attracted atten
tion. Now, even that faint hope was dis
pelled. "Sahib, there Is a worse thing to tell,"
said Mir Jan.
"Say on, then."
"Before they place the ladders against
the cliff they will build a fire of green
wood so that the smoke will be blown by
the wind Into your eyes. This will help to
blind your aim. Otherwise, you never
miss."
"That will nssuredly be awkward, Mir
Jan."
"It will, sahib. Soul of my father. If
we had but half a troop with us"
But they had not, and they were both
so Intent on the conversation that they
were momentarily oft their guard, Iris was
moro watchful.
She fancied thero was a light rustling
amid the undergrowth beneath the trees
on tho right. And sho could hiss too. If
that wero the correct thing to do.
So Bho hissed.
Jenks swarmed half way up the ladder.
"Yes. Irls7" ho said.
"I am not sure, but I Imagine something
movod among the bushes behind the house."
"All right, dear. I will keep a sharp
lookout. Can you hoar us talking?"
"Hardly, will you bo long?"
"Another minute."
He descended nnd told Mir Jan what the
mlss-sahlb said. The native was about to
make a search when Jenks stopped him.
"Here" he handed the man his revolver
"I Bupposo you can uso this?"
Mir Jan took It without a word, and
Jenks felt that the Incident atoned' for
previous unworthy doubts of his dark
friend's honesty. The Mnhommedan cau
tiously examined tho back of the house,
tho neighboring shrubs and the open beach,
After a brief absence he reported all safe,
yet no man has ever been nearer death and
escaped It than he during that recon
naissance He, too, forgot that the Dyaks
wero foxes, and foxes can lie close when
hounds are a trifle stale.
Mir Jan returned tho revolver.
"Sahib," he said with another salaam,
"I am a disgraced man, but If you will take
mo up there with you, I will fight by your
side untlt both my arms are hacked off. I
nra weary of these thieves. Ill chance threw
mejnto their company: I will. havo no more
of them. If you will not havo me on the
rock, give me a gun. I will hldo among
the trees, and I promise that some of them
shall dlo tonight before they find mo. For
the honor of the regiment, sahib, do not
refuse this thing. All I ask Is, if your
honor escapes, that you will write to Kurnal
I-shpence-sahlb, and tell him the last act
of Mir Jan, nalk In B troop."
Thero was an Intense pathos In the man's
words. He mado this self-sacrificing offer
with an utter absence of any motive save
tho old tradition of duty to the colors. Here
was Anstruther-sahlb, of the Belgaum Rla
sala, In dire peril. Very well, then. Cor
poral Mir Jan, late of the Nineteenth
Bengal Lancers, must dare all to save him.
Jenks was profoundly moved. He re
flected how best to utlllte the services of
this willing volunteer without exposing him
to certain death In the manner suggested.
The native misinterpreted his silence.
"I am not a rascal, eahlb," he exclaimed
proudly, "I only killed a man because "
"Listen, Mir Jan. You cannot well mend
what you have said. Tho Dyaks, you are
Buro, will not come beforo morning?"
"They havo carried the wounded to the
boats and are making tho ladders. Such
was their talk when I left them."
"Will they not miss you?"
"They will miss tho goatskin, eahlb. It
was tho last full one."
"Mir Jan, do as I bid, and you shall

RAINBOW CLUB
THE BREADMAN WHO WAS DEAF
Dearest Children Onco upon a time thero was a family consisting of n
father, mother and a few children. ,
I must not make it too definite or you will be thinking of some one in your
neighborhood.
Well, the mothor was a very good mother, but she had a voice that used
to SHRIEK!
This family moved to a new neighborhood and a new breadman came.
He was deaf I . '
His voice was soft and low.
Although the man of the house had called the mother's attention to her
voice, it was not until the soft-voiced breadman came that she saw what?
Not that HER voice was loud, BUT she saw and heard how delightful tho
soft voice of the breadman sounded.
It is interesting as you go through life to see how people influence you.
The breadman, a perfect stranger and deaf at that, did what father and the
children could not do make mother keep her voice LOW.
If you know some one who is deaf and not dumb, listen to him see if it
does not help you learn to keep your voice low. Remember the deaf breadman.

JIMMY MONKEY'S VACATION
By Farmer Smith
"Where are you going?" uskert the Ele
phant of Jimmy Monkey, when lie saw the
little fellow going down Sunset lane In
Jungletown.
"I am going on my vacation."
"Oh I On your vacation. May I ask what
you are going to vacate r
"I am going away for a rest"
"If you go away WE will get a rest,"
laughed the Elephant as Jimmy disappeared
down the road.
Then Mister Elephant did a very otrange
thing. He rnn In to the grocery store and
called up Mister Giraffe.
"Hello I Hello) Hello I Give me 2-4-4-0
Dumble Dee WHAT I Busy. Oh, well
Dees are alwoys busy," Then Mister Ele
phant chuckled to himself.
,ny. nn1b, th8 merry little bell tinkled.
"Hello I Yes. That you, Mister Giraffe?
Well, say, Jimmy Monkey Is going to pass
your house soon. He is'golng on his vaca
tion. Go out and wish him a happy vaca
tion. He won't know how you round out.
Good-by"
Just nt that moment Jimmy got ln front
of the Giraffe's house. Who should come
rushing out but the fellow with the lonsr
neck 1
"Hello. Jimmy I Olad to see you, and I
hope you have a pleasant vacation. We
deserve a rest. Here is a dollar. Buy a
'lemonsene' or a runabout or a eelf-piaylnc
piano."
"How did you know I was going on my
vacation?" asked Jimmy In surprise.
,'"I.?ni.a m,na "'der. oh, ah I" and Mister
Giraffe disappeared.

"The Rainbow Happy Hour" Is the official
title of the new branch. The following girls
are members: Evelyn WenUell, president!
Edith Miller, Blanche Plafker and Bessie
Griffith. The program for the meetln
reads: "gewlngf LJ9-6 ; then refreshment!

see Delhi again. Have you ever used a
Lee-Metford?"
"I have seen them, sahib; but I better
understand tho Mahtlnl."
"I will give you a rifle, with plenty of
ammunition. Do you go Inside the cave,
there, and "
Mir Jan was startled.
'Where tho ghost Is, sahib?" he said.
"Ghost! That Is a tale of children. There
Is no ghost, only a few bones of a man mur
dered by these scoundrels long ago. Have
you any food?"
"Some rlco, eahlb; sufficient for a day
or two at a pinch."
"Good I Wo will get water from the
well. When tho fighting begins at dawn,
fire at every man you see from the back of
tho cave. On no account rome out Then
they can never reach you It you keep a full
magailno. Walt herol"
"I thought yon wero never coming," pro
tested Iris when Jenks reached the ledge.
"I have been quits creepy. I am sure
thero Is some one down there. And, please,
may I have another drink?"
The sailor had left the crowbar beneath.
He secured a rifle, n spare clip and a dosen
packets of cartridges, meanwhile briefly ex
plaining to Iris the turn taken by events
bo 'for as Mir Jan was concerned. She
was naturally delighted, and forgot her
fears In tho excitement caused by the np
penrnnce of so useful an ally. She drank
his health In a brimming beaker of water.
Sho heard her lover rejoin Mir Jan. and
saw the two Btcp out Into tho moonlight,
while Jenks explained the action of tho
Lee-Metford. Fortunately Iris was now
much recovered from tho fatigue and priva
tion of the earlier hours. Her senses were
sharpened to a pitch llttlo dreamed of by
stay-at-home young ladles of her age, and
she deemed It her province to act as
sentry whllo tho two men conferred. Hence,
Bhe was the first to detect, or rather to
becomo conscious of, the stealthy crawl of
several Dyaks along the bottom of the cliff
from Turtle llcncli. They advanced In In
dlnn llle, moving with the utmost care,
nnd crouching ln the murky shadows like
so many wild beasts stalking their prey,
"Robert I" she screamed. "The Dyaks I
On your left I"
But Irta Sraa ranMbr aMMtto

shrlefcfd her warning she' graattd a (tJto,

of her waist and depressing the mMM
sufficiently, she bn firing down Um mm (
of the rock as fast as she could hsaMtt
lever and trigger. Two of the rMmI IMN
lets struck -a projection and aplasMa Om
leading savages with molten metal.
Unfortunately the Lee-Melferd
was unloaded, being In Mir Jan's 9tmmmm
for purposes of Instruction. Jenks iiitsjsl
out his revolver.
To the cave I" he roareet, and Mir Jtttft
unwillingness to face a gobrln eeuM net
withstand the combined Impetus ef rbe
sahib's order and the vrtword rush et ttw
enemy. He darted headlong for the en
trance. Jenks, shouting blindly as he, tea, MM
for the ladder, emptied the revolver Jtt M
his left hand clutched a rung,
Three Dyaks were so close that K Weja
be folly to attempt to climb. He threwtlto
weapon Into the face of the foremost maa,
effectually stopping his onward progress,
for tho darkness made It impossible to
dodge the missile.
The sailor turned to dive into the ear
and secure" the rifle from Mir Jan, when
his shin caught the heavy crowbar reetlag
against the rock. The pain of the blew lent
emDhaals to the swlns with which the Im
plement descended upon some portion at a
Dyak anatomy. Jenks never knew where, ha
hit the second assailant, but the ptoae
cracked like an eggshell.
He had not time to recover the bar for
another blow, so he gave the point Irt tha,
gullet of a gentleman who was about' to
make a vicious sweep at him with a parang.
The downfall of this worthy caused his
Immediate successor to stumble, and Jenka
saw his opportunity. With the agility of
a cat he Jumped up the ladder. Onee
started, he had to go on. lie afterward
confessed to an unpleasant sensation of pins
and needles along his back during that brief
display; but he reached the ledge without
further Injury save an agonizing twinge
when the unprotected quick of his damaged
finger was smartly rapped against the rook.
These things happened with the speed
of thought Within forty seconds of Iris's
shrill cry the sailor was breast high with
the ledge and calling to her
"Alt right old girl. Keep It upt"
The cheerful confidence of his words had
a wonderful effect on her. Iris, like every
good woman, had the maternal Instinct
strong within her the Instinct that .In
spires alike the mild-eyed Sister of Charity
and the tigress fighting for her cubs. When
Jenks was down below there. In Imminent
danger of being cut to pieces, the gentle,
lovable girl, who would not willingly hurt
thi humblest of God's creatures, became
terrlblo, majestic in her frenxted purpose.
Robert must be saved. If a Maxim were
planted on tho rock she would unhesitat
ingly have turned the lever and sprayed the
Dyaks with bullets,
