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

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

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

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

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

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

her daughter headed for home.

FEW ARE CHANGING WEST
PHILA. 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.
Mr and Mrs. D. Monroe Carver, of 5514

TUG wisdom of preventing excited con

five people hnddled together on the shay
ings wero soon asleep There wna noth

mV.:,' ., rivri to sleen for two hours
About 11 o'clock he got up. went quietly to
tho door and found Maertz seated on the
ground, his back propped against the wall
and his head sunk on his breast. 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

the woodcutter's path was discernible on

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.
