AS TIME goes on rumors flit to mine ears of the many ways In which .n of hlch degree are working for the peat cause the Red Cross and of ih things which have to do overcome . pin their ends, as well as tho tnais ana tribulations encountered. The Main Line seems to be full of lit- ; t itorles of animal life; you remember tt episode of the "Insane" cat I gave you last week. Cat stories and "cock-and-bull" stories! Well, my dears, If this Isn't 'a "cat-and-dog" story which will beat all told heretoforo I'll eat my hat. And, remember, this is no cxaggera ..Hon. It's all here and it's all true. Now i listen, and It you do not Judge tho heroine f of this tale a dauntless woman, Indeed, I miss my guess. T HAPPENED thusly: A certain prom- lnent matron of the Main Line, who lives In that locality between Bryn Mawr and Vllianova, whom wo shall call Mrs. for the sake of the story, seeking to swell tho membership of hor division of tho Red Cross, started out one afternoon lire pressed In pure white from head to toe lal accompanied by her small daughter inl their pet Irish setter, They went from houso to house till ttey reached a certain house on a certain road In Rosemont, where there lived to- tether three sisters. We'll call them the B'l. One of these sisters was 111 In bed. but another descended to see Mrs. C and they had a pleasant chat on the sub ject of the Red Cross. As the visitors ,rwo to go, Mrs. C remarked. "I think 111 g0 next door." Mtsa Tt then tnlrt Iher to beware of the dog at this house, 'r. wa one, "He is old and vicious, and tnough he does not attack people, he tiever misses a chance to chew ud a dog lot any kind or description." "Oh! yes," yepueu the Red Cross lady, "wo met that ot on the way over; ho docs look cross. lOUt OUr dOE Is verv rrantta nn1 itnosn't MW Alack! and nlsn ntnn! nnii nornln fiack! dear reader.

It does not seem pos sible, does It? But It's true, all right. But what capped tho climax was this. Nothing daunted, f having dusted tho white dress and adjusted hor hat, Mrs. C and her small daughter proceeded on their way home, but stopped on that way to gather In ono tnoro member for tho Red Cross. This tlmo the hostess was a distin guished officer of tho Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, nnd at this time, when every ono on earth is thinking of the Red Cross, when even tho llttlo children aro saving and scrap ing their pennies to help their poor fel low beings, this lady remarked, "Red Cross, NOTHING! I've got enough to spend my money on saving horses, dogs and cats." "Dogs nnd cats!" And after all Mrs. C had experienced from tho former that afternoon: This was tho last straw, and the charitable collector and her daughter headed for home. THE gayest spots In and nround tho the city tomorrow will bo the country clubs. So very many people aro still at home that there will bo luncheons and dinners innumerable. Edward Walter Clark, tho president of the Germantown Cricket Club, has given a flagpole, and tomorrow afternoon there will bo the flag raising, national airs being played by a band stationed on tho lawn. Luntheon will be served, as usual, on tho balcony and music and tea will add to the afternoon's entertainment. In the evening there will be the dinner dance, and at the Philadelphia Crlckot Club, tho Torresdale Golf Club, tho Hunt ingdon Valley Club nnd all other meeting places of tho various clans there will bo great, ohl very great doings.

She has been speaking In differ- addressed a large meeting at Lancaster, nnd a few days ago spoke at a canning demonstration at Benvyn. Heretofore Mrs. Lea has given a great deal of her time to the French committee of the Emergency Aid. Until quite recent years Mr. and Mrs. Lea lived abroad; but they came home to introduce their daughter Katherine. who mado her debut last year. They have built a very handsomo house at Westthorpe Farm In Devon, where they live most of tho year. 9 MRS.

The first meeting was held In the Radnor High School yesterday afternoon and Miss Ina Llnman, who has charge of tho club at Bryn Mawr, gave a demonstration. The Main Line Cooking Club, which has been In existence for about twenty years, Is back of the movement. This club formerly met every week, and each of the members took turns In being the hostess. It was the hostess's duty to prepare the menu and cook the luncheon herself. Sometimes they met at. the members houses and sometimes at the Mill Dam Clue, near -jovoh.

AIR FOR RESORTS Usually at this stage of tho summer sea son and with the torrid weather tho apart ment hotels are deserted for the cooler mountain and seashore resorts, but this year what with Red Cross classes and other war relief activities and the uncertainties of the present situation many West Phlla delilhlans are still In town. Miss Nina Lewis and Miss Margaret Bodlne, who dur ing the winter occupy apartments at Hamilton Court, have only lately left for Northeast Harbor, Me., where they are ac customed to spend their summers. Mr. and Mrs Joslah Monroe have also closed their apartment and are, as usual, In Waterford, Me. for the warm weather. Those who stay at Hamilton Court, however, have rather an advantage over many who stay In town, for the edifice, with its cool, shady court and cooler, refreshing fountain, savors rather more of the country than most city houses.

Monroe Carver, of 5514 Media street, announce the marriage of their daughter, Miss Myra Blanche Carver, to Mr. Joseph Best Bhellender, of Kddy. stone, on Saturday, June 30, at their homo.

As a consequence ho was snoring melodiously. He woke quickly enough when the Lng Hshman's hand was clapped over his mouth and held there until his torpid wits were Bumciently clear that ho should understand the stern words muttered In his ear. "Pardon, monsieur." ho said shame facedly "I thought there was no harm In sitting down. I listened to tho guns nnd hegan counting them. I counted ono hun dred and ninety-nine shots, I think, nnd "And then you risked six lives, Leon tine's among them !" "Monsieur, I have no excuse. "Vet you have been a soldier. I sup pose? And you gabble of serlng your country?" . , ,, "It will not happen again, monsieur. Dalroy pretended an anger ho did not really feel. Ho wanted this stolid Walloon to remain awako now, at any rate, so turned away with an ejaculation of contempt. Maertz rose. He endured an eloquent sllenco for nearly a minute. Then he mur mured, "Monsieur, I shall not offend a acoond tlmo. Counting guns is worse than watching sheep Jumping a fence." Tho moon had risen, revealing a cleared space In front of the hut. A dozen yards away u thin frlngo of brushwood and small .--..- marked the edge of the quarry, while the woodcutter's path was discernible on thO 10ft. A SllBOl lireo-t- imu tun-:., iinu being tho myriad tongues of tho wood, and Dalroy realized that the unceasing cannon--.,, tnlned to tho rustling of the leaves. would drown any sound of an approaching enemy until it wan too iaio iu reireai ot knew that Von Halwlg, not to mention th military authorities at Vise, would spare no effort to hunt out and destroy the man wno nun rc '""- - ""'- "' Germany, so he was far from satisfied with the apparent safety of even this secluded "Have you a piece of string In your pockets?" ho demanded gruffly. Trust a carter to carry string, strong stuff warranted to mend, temporarily a broken strap. Maertz gave him a quan- tlty. "I am going to the cross road," he con tinued. "Keep a close watch till I return. When you hear any movement or see any one say clearly 'Vise.' If It Is I. I shall answer 'Liege.' Do you understand?" "Perfectly, monsieur. A challenge and a countersign." ,-.,-.. Dalroy believed tho man might be trusted now. Taking the rifle, he made oft along the path, treading as softly as tho cumbrous sabots would permit He was tempted to go barefooted, but dreaded the lameness which might result from a thorn or a sharp rock. At a suitable place, half-way down the steep path by the side of the quarry, he tied a pistol to a stout sapling, and, having fastened a cord to the trigger, arranged It In such fashion that It much catch the feet of any one coming that way. The weapon was at full cock, and In all lilrellhoort the unwary passer-by would get a bullet In his body. It was dark under the trees, of course, but the moon was momentarily Increasing Us light, and the way was not hard to find. Ho memorized each awkward turn and twist In case ha had to retreat in a hurry. Once the lower level was reached there was no difficulty, and. with due precautions, he gained the shelter ot a hedge doss to the main road. The stream or iroopa suit continued, ew things could be more pmlnous than this unending torrent of armed men. By how many similar roads, he wondered, was Germany pouring her legions Into tiny Belgium? Was she forcing the French fron tier in the same remorseless way? And what of Russia? When he left Berlin the. talk wM poly of marching against the two OF 1911 Tracy great Allies. If Oermany could pparo such a host of horse, foot nnd nrtlllcry for tho overrunning of Belgium, whilo moving tho enormous forces needed on both Hanks, what millions of men slid must have placed under nrms long beforo tlio mobilization order wai announced publicly! And what w.tH England doing and saying? Kngland' tho homo of liberty nnd n free press, whero demagogues spouted platitudes about tho "curse of militarism," nnd encouraged that very monster by leaving tlio richest coun try In the world open to Just such a sudden and merciless attack ns Belgium wns un dergoing before his eyes! Lying there among tho undergrowth, lis tening to tho tramp of nn army corps, and watching the flicker of countless rlfle.barrels In tho moonlight, he forgot his own plight, and thought only of tho unpreparedness of Britain. He was n soldier by training nnd Inclination. He harbored no delusions. Man for man. tho alert, Intelligent, nnd chival rous British nrmy wns far superior to the cannon-fodder of tho Gorman machine. But of what avail was the hundred thousand Britain rould put In tlio field In tho west of l.uropo ngalnst the four millions of Oermany? Here was no combat of a David nnd a Goliath, but of one man ngalnst forty. Naturally, Franco and Russia camo Into tho picture, jet he feared that Franco would break at the outset of the campaign, while Austria might hold Russia In check long enough to enahlo Germany to work her murderous design. Be It remembered, he could not possibly estimate tho fine nnd fierce valor of tho resistance offered by Bel glum It seemed to him that the Teuton hordes must already bo harking their way to tho coast, leaving sufficient men nnd guns to contain the Belgian fortresses, nnd halting only when tho white cliffs of Hng land wero visible across the Channel. If his anxious thoughts wandered, how over, nnd a gnawing doubt nto Into his soul lest tho British fleet might, nn tho Germans In Vise claimed, havo been taken at a dis advantage, ho did not allow his eyes and ears to neglect tho duties of the hour. A fall In tho temperaturo had condensed tho river mist, nnd tho air near tho ground was much clearer now than nt S o'clock. Tho breezo, too, gathered the dust Into vvralth.s nnd scurrying wisps through which gllmpes of tho sloping uplands toward Alx wero obtainable. During one of theso un hampered moments ho caught sight of some thing so weird nnd uncanny that he was positively Rtartled. A sorrow-laden, waxen-hucd face seemed to peer at him for nn Instant, and then vanish. But tliero could be no face so high In tho air, twenty feet or moro nbovo tho heads of a Prussian regiment bawling "Deutschland, Doutschland ubcr alles ' Tho land was level thereabouts. Tho ap parition, consequently, must be a mere trick of tho Imagination Yet he saw, or fancied he saw, that same spectral face twice again at Intervals of a few seconds, nnd was vexed with himself for allowing his be mused senses to yield to some supernatural Influence Then tho vision camo a fourth time, and a thrill ran through every fiber In his body. Bocauso there could be no mistake now. Tho face, so mournful, so benign, bo pity ing, bore on tho forehead a crown of thorns ! ICven while the blood coursed In Dalroy's veins with the avvo of It, ho know that ho was looking at tho figure of Christ on the Cross. This, then, was the Calvary spoken pt by Joos, and Invisiblo In tho earlier murk The beams of tho risen moon etched tho painted carving In most realistic lights and shadows. Tho pallid skin glistened as though In ngony. Tho big, piercing eyes gazed down nt tho passing soldiers as the Man of Sorrows might have looked at the heedless legionaries ot Rome. From that Instant une God-fearing Briton, nt le.ist, never again allowed tho shadow of a doubt to darken his faith In tho divine If Inscrutable purpose. Ho had pabsed al ready through dark and deadly hours, while others were then near nt hand ; but ho wan steadfast In doing what he conceived his duty without seeking to Interpret the ways of Providence. "If Thou.be Christ?" It wns the last taurt of tho" unbeliever, though tho veil of the temple would bo rent In twain, and tho earth would quake, and tho graves be opened, nnd the bodies ot tho saints arise and be seen by many! A harsh command silenced tho singing. An omcor had reined In'hls horse, and was demanding the nature ot the errand which brought a squad of men from Vise "Sergeant Karl Schwartz, Herr Hnupt. mann," reported the leader of the party. "An Kngllshman, assisted by a miller named Joos and his man, Maertz, has killed three of our officers. Ho also wounded Herr Leutnant von Huntzel, of the Seventh West phalaln Regiment, who has recovered suf ficiently to say what happened. The general-major has ordered a strict search. I, being acquainted with the district, am bring ing these men to a wood where the rascals may be hiding." "Killed three, you say? The fiend take all such Schwelnhunds and their helpers! aood luck to you. VorwartBl" Tho column moved on. Schwartz, the treacherous barber of Vlso. led his men into the lane. There were eleven, all told hopeless odds because this gang of hunt ers was ready for a fight and Itching to capture a verdammt Knglander. And Joos'a "safe retreat" had been guessed by the spy who knew what every Inhabitant of Vise did, who had watched and noted even such a harmless occupation as Lsontlne's bilberry-picking, who was ac quainted with each footpath for miles around, from whose crafty eyes not a cow- byre on any remote farm In the whole coun tryside was concealed. This misfortune marked the end. Dalroy thought. But there was a chance ot escape. If only for the few remaining hours of the night, and he took It with the same high courage he displayed In going back to the rescue of Irene Beresford In the railway ttatJen at Alx. lie had a rifle with t',v THE OTHER rounds In tho magazine nnd one In the chamber At tho worst, ho might be nhle to add another couplo of casualties to tho formidable total already plied up during tho Germnn advance on Liege. Tho sabots offered a serious hnndlcap to rapid and silent movement, but ho dared not dispense with them, and made shift to fol low .Schwartz and tho others as quietly as might be. He was helped, of course, by tho din of tho guns nnd the rustling of the leaves; but there was an open spaco In the narrow road before It merged In tho wood which ho could not cross until the Germans were among the trees, nnd precisely In that locality Schwartz halted his men to explain his project Try ns ho might, Dalroy, crouched behind a pollard oak, could not overhear tho spy's words. But ho smiled when the party went on In Indian file, Schwartz leading, because tho enemy was acting Just as ho hoped tho enemy would net. He did not press closo on their heels now, hut remained deliberately at tho foot of the inn aim on mo edge or the quarry. Stand ing erect, with tlio rifle at tho ready, ho waited. Ho could hear nothing, hut Judged time and distance by counting fifty slow steps. He wns right to a fifth of a second. A shot rang out. and was followed Instantly by a jell of agony. Ho saw tho flash, nnd. taking mm somewhat below It. fired rIx rounds rapidly. A fusillade broke out In the wood, tlio Germans, Hko himself, firing at the ono flash above nnd the six beneath. A bullet cut through his blouse on tho left shoulder and scorched his skin ; but when the magazine was empty ho ran straight on for a few yards, turned to the right, step ping with great caution, and threw himself flat behind a rock. As ho ran, ho had re filled the magazine, but now meant using tho rlflo as n last resource only. In effect, matters had fallen out exactly as he calculated. Schwartz had blundered Into tho man-trap set on tho path half way up tho cliff, nnd was shot Tho others, lack ing a lender, nnd stupefied by tho firing nnd tho darkness, bolted like so many rabbits to tho open road nnd tho moonlleht ns soon nB the seeming attack from tho rear ceased. Uncommon grit was needed to press on through a strange wood nt night, up a diffi cult path bordering a precipice when each treo might vomit tho flamo of a gunshot And theso fellows wero not cast In herulc mold. Their one thought was to get back tho way they came. They wero received warmly, too. The passing regiment, hear ing the hubbub and seeing tho flashes, very reasonably supposed they wero being taken In flank by a Belgian force nnd blazed away merrily at the first moving objects In sight In that direction. Dalroy does not know to this day exactly how tho battle ended In rear, nor did ho caro then. Ho had routed the enemy In his own neighborhood, and that must suffice. Regaining tho path, he sped upward, paus ing only to retrlovo tho pistol which had proved so cfllclont a si Inel. Judging by tho groans and tho s.ertorous breathing which came from among tho undergrowth closo to tho path, Karl Schwartz's services as a spy and guldo wero lost to tho great causo of Kultur. Dalroy did not bother nbiut tho wretch. Ho pressed on and ri ched tho plateau nbove tho quarry. The clearing was now flooded with moonlight ana mo noorway oi ma nut wns plainly visible. Jan Maertz was not nt his post, but this was not surprising, as he would surely havo Joined old Joos nnd the terrified women at tho first sounds ot the firing. "Liege!" said Dalroy, speaking loudly enough for any one In tho hut to hear. There was no answer. "Llcgo !' he cried again, with a certain foreboding that things had gone awry, and fearing lest tho pre cious respite he had secured might be wasted Irretrievably. (Copj right, Edward J. Clode) (CONTINUED THURSDAY) Funeral of Captain S. L. Huyctte The funeral of Captain Samuel L. Huy ette, vlco president and treasurer of the Faul W. Huyetto Company, Inc., will be held at 3 o'clock today from 1820 Chestnut street. Captain Huyetto died Sunday night nt St. Joseph's Hospital after an illness ot nbout a week. He was eighty years old. Born In Huntingdon County. P.i , Captain Huyetto had a distinguished career. As a young man ho organized Company A, Nine teenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, which took part In many of the most Important engage ments of tho Civil War. Frank Donnelly's Girls Globe Frank Donnelly's "Girls From Quaker town" is only one of the unuusually good numbers on tho long bill nt the Globe for this week, which had Its first presentation yesterday Tho Quaker girls are pretty and vivacious. They know more about sing, lng and dancing than the conventional Quaker girl, nnd considerably more about the same things than the conventional vaudeville girl, which Is saying something. Dotty Claire, a West Philadelphia girl, and her Ladyvillo Minstrels make another strong number. Theso young women present something new In minstrelsy as well as the best of the old, plus youth and beauty, which Is not overplentlful nt Dumont's. Miss Claire Is endowed with a personality which aids materially. The Manhattan Quartet, the Wlnkel Kids, Ethel Milton and company, Ray Conlln, Conley and Con rad. Maley and Woods, Mr. and Mrs. Cortex and Henry Frey complete the bill. Harry Fern Nixon Grand The story of how a political (trafter tries to defraud old soldiers for personal gain Is unfolded In "Veterans," a patriotic sketch which headlines the bill at ths Nixon Grand. There are many good situations and bright lines add to the romedy, Harry Fern, a rhlladelphlan, supplies most of the laughs In the role of a negro and outwit all concerned In tha course of the trouble. Good acts were also offered by Frits and Lucy Brush, Miss Jeanne, another little mlea ot Phllly; Joseph U Browning and Walter Wood. Thi picture wer up to, the moment ,l LOTS OF LAUGHTER && &Avf Ji? "i. RESOUNDS AT KEITH "For Pity's Sake," a Good Old "Mclodram," Heads Bill of Surprises Mad melodrama set amid a generally de fiant atmosphere Is among other things ex posed to view at Keith's. It Is labeled. "For Pity's Sake," and the name of the author Is concealed. The skit, which If a travesty on the alleged good old days, over flows so much with plot that It requires a submarine, the ocean nnd a farm to carry It Cy Slivine, a manager of the opr'y house, .las to work harder than the whole cast In manufacturing rain, lightning, thunder and storms at sen, Even the real names of the actors on the program help to bear out the "melo drama" effect For Instance, it is an nounced that the father Is played py Kenneth Hall, white Claude Smith Is por trayed by Albert Watterson, The only thing that spoils this real realism Is the fact that the captain ot the submarine Ii played by Milton Tcltelbaum. Charles Withers, ns the manager of the opera house, Is the chief laugh builder. The Idea was warmly greeted. Running neck-and-ncck for the applause record of the show wero Ray Samuels, "the blue streak of vaudeville." and A. Robins, the walking muslo store. .Each one stopped tho show. Miss Samuels made a brief speech, and Mr. Robins could have done so, too, had ho thought of it. The success of these two artists should be a lesson to tho vaudevllllans who stick on the beaten path. Miss Samuels sang char acter songs which were full of philosophy and fun. And she put them over In a. care free way which Is necessary In dealing with the public. Nearly one-third of every vaudeville audience Is grouchy, and one has to literally defy the crowd to make the glooms sit up and realize that they're really In a theatre. Miss Samuels has the knack of making all wake up right at the start. Ever notlco how relatives suspect each other when nn aged member of the family dies? This shortcoming Is brought out In 'The Late Lamented," presented by Whit ney Fox and company, members of the Stage Society Pliyers. Tho story unfolded Is one of grief tinged with commerce. Anxious descendants quarrel over grandfather's effects, when he suddenly turns up alive. The playlet had many funny situations, but the subject with Its mourners In deep crepa was heavy for a hot night In July. Qulnn and Laf ferty, a Philadelphia pair, put over a num ber of new Ideas In dancing which won emphatic approval, A dash of patriotism was supplied by Agnes Relfsnyder, who Bang "Our America." others who appeared to ndvantage were Ted Lorraine and Frances Prltchard tWhy do singing nnd dancing couples al ways walk across the stage with the man holding tho girl as though she were a Ufa preserver?) Mallla and Bart Company, as acrobatic baggage smashers,' and the El Rey Sisters, two dashing looking girls who offer on act full of artistic thrills. J. G. C. "Sunnysidc of Broadway" Cross Keys 'The Sunnysldo of Broadway.' a minia ture musical cs-nedy. Is the leading act on the bill at the Cross Keys Theatre this week. It is a Boyle Woodfolk production, with many pretty girls, a couple of clever comedians and fine settings. The melodies are especially pleasing while the dancing Is nbove par. Another good act on the bill was a timely summer sketch, "On tha Boardwalk," which Is also a musical com edy, offered by Ronnalr, Ward and Fesren. It scored a hit During the last half of the week Mario Empress will be the leading attraction, supported by a good bill.
