This year It has been decided to introduce continual dancing by having two orchestras, and best of all these two will be Kuropc's New York Orchestra and Herz berg's, of this city. Thcro will be great rivalry, I'm thinking, between tho twain. Then breakfast will be served from 1:30 o'clock until 3, nnd will consist of sausago and scfnmbled eggs, toast and coffee. Mem bers of tho younger set are quite excited over this from nil I licar. The decorations will be Oriental. Already a number of prominent matrons have prom ised to act as patron esses for the dance, which Is one of tho biggest social affairs given at tho Univer sity each year: ALTHOUGH nil tho Xx amateur actors and actresses In the musical comedy, "Cyn thia," which comes off I. Friday night at the Bcllevue-Stratford In aid of tho well-known Convalescent Houso at Darby, aro unusually tnlented, Katharine Burns, who takes the .AW.AM part of the tall, worldly minded "mother" who manages her "short husband" nnd ' Is overjoyed nt finding a "Count" for her daughter's hand, stands out prominently as one of the leading stars. The part of o contriving and flashy nouveau rlcho. mother is a difficult one for a last year's graduate to Impersonate,, but Miss Burns carries It off with decided skill and tho complete mannerisms of ho worldly "mamma." As Madame La Pompadour In tho carnival scene Miss Burns gives a wonderful reproduction of that per onage. Unusually graceful and altogether charmingly girlish, May Wulsh plays the part of Cynthia with an unaffected ease, She is decidedly light and airy on ,her feet nnd combines a charming little actress with a graceful dancer. Arthur Hirst, as a "live-wire" hotel clerk "put ting up the prices" In carnival time, Is an actor of real merit. And then thcro aro Mildred Carter. Rosalie Hoban, Frank Hnrrlty, Brandon Walsh, John Harden nnd Paul Vanncman, the latter of whom Is so well known for his dancing. Each and every member of the cast deserves to win praise Friday night, nnd they will. There is no doubt about that, for "Cynthia" Is a real show from start to finish. Marie Carrlgan will delight the audience in the carnival act with her wonderful specialty dance of a Rusblan maiden In costume. An unusually largo number of well known women will act as patronesses at this year's show, nnd Include Mrs. Rob ert AV. Lesley, Mrs. Robert Thaxter Blck nell, Mrs. Edward do V. Morrell.

My dear Children Have you ever thought of ONE thing animals hao which many grown-ups and many children have not? I refer to foresight. When the fall das come and tho loaves drop softly to the earth tho squirrel family packs the cellar of Its bungalow with nuts why? When the flaky "mackerel" sky adorns the autumn day the birds go South. I wonder why? Tho wind comes out of the north nnd Mister Bear shivers. Does ho put on heav ier underwear? Not nt nil. Ho curls up and goes to sleep. Why? Walk along the shore of a pond or river when tho Ico Is thick. Do you hear tho merry croaking of tho frogs Why not? ' When there are Icicles on the window, whero aro the tiles? How do they know that winter Is coming, and how do they know when spring arrives and the gladsome summer Is nigh? 1 wonder. Draw a lesson from all these dear kind people of tho woodland, the air nnd wnter. They do not worry. They seem to get food without cash or credit. Then, why Is It we, who aro much better than the animals, aro always fussing, stew ing nnd worrying nbout NOTHING? 1 wonder.

Little, Timmy Tadpole was singing to himself when along camu Mister Trout nnd wanted to know what all the happiness was ubout. "I don't see why I have to stop my song and tell you why I am happy. What's the Idea?" asked Timmy. "I don't see why you are happy In a little while your tall will be gone and you will be an ugly Frog." bald the Trout. Tut, tut !" began Timmy Tadpole. "That Is the very thing which makes mo so happy. Think of It! I have something to look forward to, while Y017 will always bo a Trout nothing but a beautiful Trout." "Of course, I am beautiful, while you are ugly enough now, but goodness knows a Frog Is tho ugliest thing In all the world," answered Mister Trout. "Oh, but you forget! You are so beauti ful and so tasty that men are hunting you all the time, while a Frog, well, they are only hunted for their hind legs. It must bo terrible to have to live In fear ALL the lime. You have to look closely at eery fly before ou eat It, while I gobble them up with a snap I and so does a Frog, Swim up stream and let me sing my song. Good day." Mister Brook Trout did not wait for any more talk from Timmy T.ulpole, for ho knew that the little fellow had the best of him, so he went away up stream where there was a deep pool and sat there think ing oer what had been said to him. By and by a fly came floating along on the top of the water. "There, I don't dare eat that fly after what has been said to me." thought Mister Brook Trout. He waited a little longer and the fly floated over toward the bank and before the Trout knew what had happened u huge Frog had gobbled up tho tiny fly and Mister Brook Trout was sorry, very sorry. After a long time, the Trout swam over to where the big Frog was silting and asked. "Was that fly good?" "Why do you ask, YOU don't have to digest It?" said the Frog, "Curiosity," ventured the Trout. v "Well. If you spent more time catching flies and less time being curious and ask ing foolish questions, tho world would be1 better and you would be fatter." The Trout sighed and said, "Well, If I were fatter, more fishermen might want me" . m . .. There .you are I Trout who are afraid what to eat and when to eat either stane to death or are caught," said the Frog. "By the time you get through listening to ad- vice, you will be deaf and dumb, and then you will get caught for sure. Look I There's another fly." They both made a grab for It, but the Trout was too quick for the Frog. 'Thank you." he said, as ho swam away, while the jBTOg's mourn ciosea wun a pop i on notning .it , t U. i 4 ... .v ..,-.--.-. - w 1 .WETONteSMtt CoprlBht I.lfp l'ubtlfhlnit Hank Clcik You wish to open a joint nccount for yourself nnd wife?

The camels, notwitusianu- Ing their long journey, seemed to have caught homo of tho enthusiasm of the war horse as described In tho Book of Job; In deed, I had no Idea that they could travel at such a rate. On wo tiwung down the Hlnnn. kennlnir excellent order, the forest of tall spears shining nnd tho llttjo lancer like pennons fluttering on tho breeze in a very gallant way. In sllenco wo went, savo for tho thudding of tho hoofs of tho camels and an occasional t-qtieal of anger as somo rider droe his lanco hamllo Into their ribs. Not until wo actually Joined battlo did a single man open his llM. Then, It Is true, there went up ono simultaneous nnd mighty roar of: Tho Child! Death to Jauat Tho Child ! the Child!'' , , , But this happened a few minutes later. As we drew near tho enemy I saw that they had massed their footmen In a denso body, six or eight lines thick. Theio they stood to receive the Impact of our chargo, or rather they did not all stand, for tho first two ranks were kneeling with long spears xtretched out in frint of them. I Imnglno that their appearance must have greatly resembled that of tho Oreck phalanx-, or that of tho Sw.si prepaicd to recede cavalry in tho Middle Ages. On either side of this foimldablo body, which by now muht' hao numbeied four or five hundred men. and at a distance perhaps of , minri.r of a mile from them, were gathered the hoi semen of thb Black Ken dall, dlxlded Into two bodies of nearly equal strength, say about a hundred horse In each body. As wo approached, our trianglo curved a little, no doubt under the direction of Haiut. A minute or so later I saw the rea son It was that we might strike the foot soldleis hot full In front but at an angle " It was an admirable maneuver, for when presently wo did strike, wo caught them slightly on tho flank nnd crumpled them up, My word! we went through those fel lows like u knlfii through butter; they had as much chanco against tho tush of our camels as u brown paper tctveit has against a typhoon Over they lolled In heaps while tho White Kendah bpltted them with their lances. "The Child Is top dog ! My money on tho Child," reflected J in Inewicnt ecstasy. But that exultation was prematuic, for thoso Black Kendah were by no means all dead. Presently I saw that scores of them had appeared among tho camels, which they were engaged In stabbing, or trying to stab, in the stomach with their spears. Also I had forgotten tho horsemen As our charge slackened owing to tho complication In front, these arrived on our flanks like two thundei bolts, We faced about and did our best to meet the onslaught, of which tho net result was that both our left and right lines were pierced through nbout fifty yards behind the baggage camels.

' "Yo don't expect a perfectly cood knife fer a nickel, do yej,'t . ."?--- . i-?, -t. ,nTT.-T"T t -r" CLEARING UP A DOUBT 3 for us the ery Impetuosity of tho Black Kendah rush deprlxed It of most nf tho fruits of victory, since the two squadrons, being unable to chock their horses, ended by charging Into each other nnd becoming mixed In IneMiIc.ible confusion. Then. 1 do not know who gave the order, wo wheeled our camels In and fell upon them, a struggling stationary mass, with tho result that many of them were speaicd, or overthrown and trampled. I hao said we, but that Is not quite correct, nt any rate so far as Mnrut, Hans, I nnd about fifteen cumelmeti weie con cerned. How It happened 1 could not tell In that dust nnd confusion, tiut we werp cut oft from tho main body nnd presently found ourselea lighting desperately In n group nt which Black Kendah horsemen were charging again nnd again. We made the best stand we could. By degrees the be wildered camels sank t.nrter tho repeated spear thrusts nf the enemy, all except one, oddly enough that ridden by Hans, which by somo btrango chance was never touched. The rest of us were thrown or tumbled off tho camels and continued tho fight from behind their fctruggllng bodies. ' That Is where 1 c.imn In. Up to this time I had not fired a t-lngle shot, partly be cause I do not like missing, which It Is so easy to do from tlo back of a swaying camel, and wtlll more for the reason that I had not the slightest desire to kill any of these saage men unless I were obliged to do so in helf-defense. Now, however, tho thing was different, ns 1 was fighting for my life. Leaning ngalnst my camel, which was dying nnd beating Its head upon the ground, groaning horribly the while. I emptied the II vo cartridges of tho repeater Into those Black Keuda:i, pausing between each shot to t.iUo aim, with tho result that presently fie rideiless horses were gallop ing about the veld. Tho effect was electrical, since our nt tackcis had never seen anything of tho kind before. For a while they drew off, which gavo mo time to reload Then they came on again and I lepeated the process. For a second tlmo they retreated nnd after a consultation which lasted for a minute or more, made a third attaik. Once more I saluted them to the best of my ability, though on this occasion only threo men and a horso fell. The fifth shot was a clean miss because they came on In such a scat tered formation that I had to turn from sldo to side to lite. Now at last tho game was up for the slmplo reason that I had no more cartridges savo two In my double-barreled pistol. It may be asked why. The answer Is, want of foresight. Too many cartridges In one's pocket are npt to chafe oji camel-back and so Is a belt full of them, In thoso days also the engagements were few In which a man fired over fifteen, I had foity or fifty moro In a bag, which bag Savago with ids usual politeness had taken and hung upon his saddle without saying a word to me. At tho beginning of tho action I found this out, but could not then get them from him as he was separated from me, Hans, always careless In small matters, was really to blame, as ho ought to have seen that I had tho cartridges, or at any rate to have car ried them himself In short, It was one of thore accldentn that will happen. Theie Is nothing more to bo said. After a still longer consultation our ene mies advanced on us for the fouith lime, but very slowly. Meanwhile I hud been taking stock of tho position. The camel corps, or what was left of it, oblivious of our jillght which the dust of conflict had hidden from them, was traveling on to the north, moro or less victorious. That Is to say, It had cut Its way through the Black Kendah and was escaping unpursued, hud dled up In a mob with the baggjge animals safo In Its center. TJio Black Kendah themseives were en gaged in killing our wouuicd nnd succoring their own; also In collecting the bodies of the dead. In short, quite unintentionally, vi o wero deserted. Probably If anybody thought about us at alt In the tunnel of desperate battle, they concluded that wo wero among tho slain. Marut come up to me, unhurt, still tmll Ing, and waving a bloody spear. "Lord Macumazana," he hald, "the end Is at hand Tho Child has saved the i thers, or most of them, but us It has abandoned. Now what will you do? Kill youtse'f, or If that docs not please you si'.Ter mo to kill you? Or shoot on until you must sur render?" "I have nothing to shoot with any more," I answered. "But If w" su render what will happen to us?" "We shall be taken to Slmba's towp nnd there sacrificed to the devil Jana-I have not tlmo to tell you how. Therefore. I pro pose to kill myself." 'Then I think you are foolish. Marut. since once we are dead, we are dad; but while we ore- alive It Is always possible that wo may escape from Jana. If the worst comes to the worst I have a pistol1 with two bullets In It, one for you and one for me." The wisdom of the Child Is In jiu." he replied, "I shall surrender w h you Macu mazana, and take my'chance." Then he turned and explained things to his f gl lowers, who spoke together tor a ilioment. In the end these took a strange and to my mind a very heroic dulslon, Waiting tll the attacking Kendah were quite close to us, with the exception of three men, who either because they lacked courage or some other reason, stayed with us, they advanced humbly as though to make submission. A number of the Black Kendah dismounted and ran up, I suppose to take them prlspners. The men walled till these were all around them, Ththy with h, yell or 'Tne unnar tney sjrung io ward. faking tha enemy, unaware. ap4 JUatlB ' ,. t " fsr. ?mnrv ivmniHPHnp 'a V'!; Compin.

"Well, now they ate all nt peaco with tho Child, where doubtless we shall find them ere long" I nodded but answered nothing, lo tell tho truth, I was too much engaged In nursing tho remains of my own com age to enter Into conversation nbout that of other people. This fierce and cunning strntigm of desperate men, which had cost their enemies so dear, seemed to Infuriate tho Black Ken dah. At us came the whole mob of thrm we were but six now roaring "lima' Jana!" nnd led by a grnybeard who to Judgo from the number of silver chains upon Ills breast and his other trappings, neuned to bo a great man among them. When thev were nbout fifty yards away nnd I was prepar ing for tho worst, a shot rang nut from nboe nnd behind me. At tho samo Instant Oraybeard threw his arms wide nnd letting fall the spear he held, pitched ft cm his horse, evidently stone dead. 1 glanctd back and saw Hans, the corncob pipe still In his mouth and the little rifle, "Intom'il," mill at his shoulder, lie had fired fiom the back of the camel. I think for -he first time that day, and whether by chance or tluough good marksmanship, I do not kno.v had killed this man. Ills sudden and unexpected end seemed to fill tho Black Kendah with grief and dis may Halting In their charge thfy gathered round him, while a fierce-looking mlddle ngetl man. also adorned with much bar baric finery, dismounted to examlno him. "lhat Is Slmba tho King," said Marut, 'and tho slain ono Is his uncle Goru, tho great general who brought him up from a babe." "Then I wish I had nnother cartridge left for tho nephew," I began, and stopped. v nana was speaKing to me. "Oood-by. Baas," ho said. '7 must go, for I cannot load 'Jntombl' on tho back of this bast.
