JTANCY WYNNE CHATS ABOUT MANY
MATTERS OP SOCIAL IMPORT
Rain Caused Consternation at'the Horse Show Yesterday.
Various Happenings Are o
General Interest
WRIX, my dears, you nhould have seen
lint Suddenly tho clouds opened and
the rftln camo down In bucket, In pitch
rs, In palls, In cloudbursts nnd we ran
like mad to the covered stand, nnd those
of us "who had raincoats put them on
and cowered down under tho awnings,
while the poor horses and their Judges
shivered out there In tho ring. Of course,
when It really poured tho classes hnd to
itop for a while, but, then, wo gossiped
and chattod and had n great time. Inci
dentally, you know, this all happened out
at tho Horso Show yesterday, Hvery tlmo
J see Hope Montgomery I want to smllo
and feel happy. I never saw such a dear
little person for spreading loveliness
about her. Sho Is so piquant nnd pretty,
and did you over see a woman wear her
clothes moro beautifully, and ' equally
have you often seen a woman wno
dresses so exquisitely? Certainly she whs
lovely yesterday In a satin-finished crepo
de chine gown mado with a very full
skirt and with a cord drawn about
the waist The bodtco was Just a tiny
I bit open at the neok and was finished with
I a wide flat collar of seal fur, and under
the two points of fur was a bit of hand
embroidery. She wore one of tho new
tarn models of black velvet. Sho has
that elusive, wonderful quality In woman
called charm, to perfection, and I must
say the opinion I have of her is shared
by all who know her.
Vt Every day girls grow bolder, don't
I'f they? Now I know, and so do you, that
they smoke very often at homo ana in
cafes and hqtels, but, somehow, it has

N gayly round tho oval at tno liorso snow
flagged In on cither side by a man, smoK
lng a cigarette, while one discusses the
merits of tho various classes In the ring.
But, my dears, I saw It with my own
eyes, and the girl who did it Is very
pretty and has such a soft, young ex
pression I wonder if sho realizes that
the smoking will tako all tho sheen from
her hair and the light from her pretty
eyes If Bhe keeps it up at tho rate she
is going now.
Well, the world and his wlfo aroso this
morning at 4;30 and 5 Q. M. nnd has
tened out over hill nnd dale to tho bcaglo
field trials at the Bryn Mawr show, and
if wo did not have appetites for that
breakfast nt tho William Struthers
Elllses afterward I assure you It was not
their fault, for tho tables fairly groaned
with good things, and It was great fun,
you know, bo sort of unique and different
from tho ordinary entertainment; one
often has danced all night and then
eaten breakfast before going to bed- but
to rise at 4:30 and go to an affair a
sunrise and then before continuing tho
day to stop for a big formal breakfast
and be entertained at that delightful
meal at 9 a. m. is a bit new, to say the
least Of course, the purely Hunt Club
contingents were used to it, but the rest
of us found it novel and enjoyed it ac
cordingly. NANCY WYNNE.

Infantile Paralysis Ban Lifted.
Sunday Schools Will Be in
Session Tomorrow
Mo Ing-plcture theaters, which hae been
closed to children under sixteen years be
cause of the Infantile paralysis epidemic,
wcro opened to them today.
Coincident with this, the quarantine
placed on Sunday schools sceral weeks
ago will be lifted and on Monday the pub
lic Schools will begin their fall term.
Health authorities, both city and State,
do not bellevo the Infantile paraljsls epi
demic has entirely abated, but they aro con
vinced the cool weather will stamp out the
disease.
Two deaths and thirteen new cases, a
slight Increase In the number of the latter,
wcro reported yesterday.
The steady decline of the disease
throughout the city Is emphasized by the
fact that during the week only fifty-two
cases were reported as compared with

BAKERS READY TO RAISE PRICES
Italians of Southern Section Will Meet
Tonight and Discuss Proposed
Increase
Italian bakers In tho southern section of
Philadelphia will meet tonight In Columbus
Hall, E'ghth street near Fltiwater, to con
sider the question of Increasing the price or
bread on Monday morning.
According to John Sannlnl, 1420 Wharton
street, the price of flour makes it Impos
sible to produce bread at a profit
Tho contemplated Increase means that
the loaf now selling for nine cents will be
advanced to ten cents and the fourteen
cent loaf will be raised to fifteen cents.
This, although apparently a slight advance,
will mean much to tho baker and will en
able him to better combat with the present
price of flour.
John VIrdln. Chief of tho Bureau of
Weights and Measures, Is making an In-
estimation which may result In his asking
Councils to enact an ordinance regulating
the sale of bread by weight only.
Ho believes thnt under the commodities
act of the Legislature, an opportunity Is
afforded the city throuch Councils to
regulate the sale of bread In Its own way.
It Is Intended to prevent some bakers from
reducing the weight of their bread.

THUMD-NAIL MUSICAL
COMEDIES INCREASING
Tabloid Operettas Constantly Gain in
Favor With Audiences
Vnudo llle has opened a lucrative field for
the writer and producer of thumbnail mu
sical comedies. They have become as much
a factor In tho -varieties as the one-act
play. There are fewer producers of mu
sical tabloids, howeier, just as there are
fewer producers of musical pieces for the
legitimate stage. When the tabloid musical
show was first suggested as a vaudeville
feature the managers did not take kindly
to the proposition. It was thought the mix
ture of comedy and muslo In a piece would
rob the vaudeville portion of the bill of
much of Its value.
This has not proved true, and today there
Is a greater demand for tabloid musical
comedy In audevlllo than ever. It all de
pends on the material of the piece, for
vaudeville audiences of the present day ex
pect Just as much for their fifty and
seventy-five cents as the devotee of musical
comedy, drama or opera does for his J1.50
and J 2. And usually he gets It for most of
the bills offered during the regular seasonjn
tho principal audevllle theaters contain a
dramatic playlet, a musical tabloid and
sometimes a miniature opera, In addition to
nrlety turns.
"The Four Husbands," which comes to
Keith's Theater this week as the headline
attraction, Is a fair sample of how produc
tions for vaudeville have progressed. Will
M. Hough, who wrote "The Time, the Place
and the Girl," wrote "The Four Husbands,"
In conjunction with William B. Frledlander,
and the new piece has proved so successful
that It has been routed for the season In
the principal vaudeville theaters of the circuit.

CHAPTER XIV (Continued)
SHE caught his look.
"Wo will beat them yetl" she cried
again, and she smiled, not as a woman
smiles, but with the Joy of a warrior when
tho fray Is toward.
There was no time for further Fpeech.
Three ladders were reared ngalnst the rock.
They were so poised nnd held below that
Jenks could not force them backward. A
fourth appeared, Its coarse shafts looming
Into sight llko tho horns of some gigantic
animal. Tho four covered virtually the
whole front of the ledge sae where Mir
Jan cleared a little space on the level
The sailor was standing now, with tho
crowbar clenched In both hands. The firing
In the valley slackened and died away. A
Dyak fare, grinning like a Japanese demon,
appeared at the top of the ladder nearest
to Iris.
"Don't flref" shouted Jenks, nnd the Iron
bar crushed downward. Two others pitched
themselves half on to tho ledge. Now both
crowbar and revoher were needed. Throe
ladders were thus cumbered somewhat for
thoso beneath, and Jenks sprang toward
the fourth and most distant Men were
crowding It llko ants Close to his feet
lay nn empty water cask.
It was a crude weapon, but effective when
well pitched, and the sailor had nover made
a better shot for a goal in the midst of a
hard-fought scrimmage than he made with
that tub for the head of the uppermost
pirate.
Another volley came from tho sands. A
bullet plowed through his hair and sent
his sou'wester flying. Again the besiegers
swarmed to the attack. One way or the
other, they must succeed. A man and a
woman even such a man and such a
woman could not keep at bay an Infuri
ated horde of fifty savages fighting at close
quarters and under these grievous condi
tions. Jenks knew what would happen. He
would be Bhot In the head or breast while
repelling the scaling party. And Iris I Dear
heart! She was thinking of him.
"Keep back I They can never gain the
ledge!" she shrieked.
And then, above the din of the fusillade,
the yells of the assailants nnd the bawling
of the wounded, there came through the
air a Bcreamlng, tearing, ripping sound
which drowned all others. It traveled with
Incredible speed, and before tho sailor could
bellevo his ears for he well knew what It
meant a shrapnel shell burst In front of
the ledge and drenched the valley with
flying lead.
Jenks was Just able to drag Iris flat
against the rock ere the time fuse operated
and the bullets flew. He could form no
theory, hazard no conjecture. All ho knew
was that a twelve-pounder shell had down
toward them through space, scattering red
ruin among the &.nazed scoundrels beneath.
Instantly he rose again, lest perchance any
of the Dyaks should have gained a foothold
on the ledge.
The ladders were empty. He could hear
a good deal of groaning, the footsteps of
running men, and some distant shouting.
"Sahib 1" yelled Mir Jan, drawn from his
retreat bj the commotion without.
"Yes," shouted JenkB.
The native. In a voice cracked with ex
citement, told him something. The sailor
asked a few rapid questions to make sura
that Mir Jan was not mistaken.
Then he threw his arms round Iris, drew
her close and whispered:
"My darling, we are saved I A warship
has anchored Just beyond tne south reef
nnd two boats filled with armed Bailors are
now pulling ashore."
And she answered proudly:
"The Dyaks could never hae conquered
us, Itobert We were manifestly under
Clod's protection. Oh, my love, my love, I
am so happy and thankful!"

"Hip, Hip, Hooray," has displayed Its
business-like qualities by taking an office
on Chestnut street near Eleventh, and treat
ing the establishment exactly as if It were
a permanent Institution. Tha windows are
adorned with painted announcements of
the entertainment. Instead of the customary
printed "throe-sheets." The whole thing
ha an air of bigness and solidarity.

tions. Charlotte, the famous skater; John
Philip Sousa and hi band; the complete

ical staffs, totaling more than seven hun
dred people, will be brought here.
The estimated weekly cost of the venture
1 oer JSO.O00. Only the size of tha Metro,

fact of two performances dally, make the
experiment possible. The run will continue
for four weeks. Seats go en sale Monday,

CHAPTER XV
TUB DIFFICULTY OF l'LEASINO
EVERYBODY
THE drifting smoke was Btlll so dense that
not even tha floor of the valley could
be discerned. Jenks dared not leave Iris
at such a moment He feared to bring her
down the ladder lest another shell might be
fired. But something must be done to end
their suspense.
He called to Mir Jan
"Take off your turban and hold It above
your head. If you think they can see you
from the warship."
"It Is all right, sahib," came the cheering
answer. "One boat Is close inshore. I
think, from the uniforms, they are English
sahibs, such as I have seen at Garden
Reach. The Dyaks have all gone."
Nevertheless Jenks waited. There was
nothing to gain by being too precipitate.
A also step now might undo the achieve
ments of many weeks.
Mir Jan was dancing about beneath in
a state of wild excitement
"They have seen the Dyaks running to
their sampans, eahlb," he yelled, "and the
second boat la being pulled In that direction.
Yet another lias just left the snip."
A translation made Iris excited, eager
to go down and see these wonders.
"Better wait here, dearest." he said. 'Th
enemy may be driven back In this direction,
and I cannot expose you to further risk.
The sailors will soon land, and you can then
descend in perfect safety."
The boom or a cannon came from the
sea. Instinctively th girl ducked for safety,
though her companion smiled at her fears,
for the shell would have long preceded th
report, had It traveled their way.
"One of tha remaining sampan ha got
under way," he explained, "and th war
ship Is firing at her,''
Two mora guns were fired, Th nuts-o'-war
evidently meant busts.
"Poor wretches I" murmured Irla. "Can
not the survivor be allowed to eseapr
"Well, we are unable to Interfere. The
caught on the Island will prebabiy be taWeo
to the mainland and hanged for tteair
crime, so the manner of their ad t nt
of much conqun."
To the girl's manifest rHf th w
no more firing, and Mir Jan announced that
a number of sailors were atrtually on stor.
Then her thoughts turned to a matter of
concern to th feminine mind, even la th
grayest moments of exlatano. Ssrie laved
her face with water and sought hr dis
carded aklrtl
Soon th terty traaaa o baot-olevd teat
advancing at in aouoi was aaar on ta
afoiB-yrv and ai ttsttoar'a v- apaUMr t)M
crude Hindustani ef tire engtrre reem t
forecantle, shouted ta Mtr Jan
"HI, you black fefeewl Arc there Mtf
white people herij"
Jenks sang out
"Ye, two of feat PM-etted on th rwk
over your heads We are coming dawn,"
He cast' loos the rop ladder. Irhi wa
limp and trembling. t
"Steady, sweetheart," h whrsperad.
"Don't forget the slip between the ewp and
the Up. Hold tight! .But have no fearl I
will be Just beneath."
It was well he took this precaution. Mr
wa now so unnerved that an unguarded
movement might have led to an accident.
But the knowledge that her lover w
near, Ute touch of bis hand guiding her
feet on to the rungs of th ladder, mHaltrad
her They had almost reached the leval
when a loud exclamation and th crash of
a heavy blow caused Jenks to halt and
look downward.
A Dyak. lying at th foot of one of th
scaling ladders, and severely wounded by a
shell splinter, witnessed their descent In
his left hand he grasped a parang; hi
right arm was bandaged. Though unable
to rise, the engeful pirate mustered hi
remaining strength to crawl toward th
swaying ladder. It was Taung H'All. In- .
spired with the hate and venom oC tha
dying snake. Even yet he hoped to deal
n mortal stroke at the man who had de
fied him and all his cut-throat band, H
might have succeeded, a Jenka was ao
taken up with Iris, were it not for the
watchful eyes of Mir Jan. The Moham
medan sprang at him with dn oath, and
gnvosjilm ouch a murdesous whack with th
butt of a ride that th Dyak chief cot
lapsed nnd .breathed out hi fierce spirit
In a groan.
At the first glance Jenks did not recog
nize Taung S'AII, owing to his change of
costume. Through the thinner smoke h
could see several sailors running up.
"Look out there l he cried "There la
n lady here If any Dyak moves, knock
hln on the head!"
But, with the passing of the chief, thctr
last peril had gone. The next Instant they
were standing on the firm ground, and a
British naval lieutenant was saying
eagerly
"We seem to have turned up In the nick
of time. Do you, by any chance, belong
to the Sirdar?"
"We aro tho sole survivors," answered
the sailor.
"You two only?" '
"Yes. She struck on tho northwest ref
of this Island during n typhoon. ThI
lady. Miss Iris Deane, and I were flung
ashore"
"Miss Deane I Can tt be possible? Let
me congratulate you most heartily. Sir
Arthur Deane Is on board the Orient at
this moment"
"Tho Orient!"
Iris was dazed. The uniforms, the pleas
ant faces of the English sailors, th
strange sensation of hearing familiar words
In tones other than those of the man she
loved, bewildered her.
"Yes," explained the officer, with tf sym
pathetic smile. "That's our ship, you know,
In the offing there."
It was all too wonderful to be quit
understood yet She turned to Robert
"Do you hear? They say my father 1
not far away. Take me to him "
"No need for that miss." interrupted a
warrant officer. "Here ho Is coming
ashore. He wanted to come with us, but
the captain would not permit It as the.-
seemed to be some trouble ahead."
Sure enough, even the girl's swimming
eyes could distinguish tho gray-bearded
civilian, seated beside an officer In the
stern sheets of a small gig now threading
a path through tho broken reef beyond
Turtle Beach. In five minutes father and
daughter would meet
Meanwhile the officer. Intent on duty, ad
dressed Jenks again.
"May I ask who you are?"
"My name is Anstruther Robert An
struther." Iris, clinging to his arm, heard -the reply.
So he had abandoned alt pretense. He
was ready to face the world at her side.
She stole a loving glance at him as she
cried
"Yes, Captain Anstruther, of the Indian
Staff Corps. If he will not tell you all that
he has done, how he has saved my lit
twenty times, how he haa fought single
handed against eighty roon, ask me!"
The naval officer did not need to look a
second time at Iris's face to lengthen th
list of Captain Anstruther's achievement
by one more Item. He sighed. A good
sailor always does sigh when a particularly
pretty girl is labeled "Engaged."
But he could be very polite.
"Captain Anstruther does not appear t
have left much for us to do. Miss Deane,"
he said. "Indeeed," turning to Robert "is
there any way In which my men.wlU be
useful?"
"I would recommend that they drag th
green stuff off that fire and stop the smoke.
Then, a detachment should go round th
north side of the Island and drive th re
maining Dyak Into the hand of th party
you have landed, as I understand, at tha
further end of the south beach. Mir Jan,
the Mahommcdan here, who haa been a
most faithful ally during part of our siege,
will act as guide."
The other man cast a comprehensive
glance over the rock, with Its scaling lad
ders and dangling rope ladder, (Tha cava,
the little groups of dead or unconscious
pirates for every wounded man who could
move a limb had crawled away after th
first shell burst and drew a deep breat.
"How long were you up there?" ha asked.
"Over thirty hours."
"It was a grrat fight lM
"Somewhat worse than it looks," said
Anstruther, "This Is only the end of tt
Altogether, we, have accounted for nearly
twoscore of the poor devils."
