which, his wife's family, tho Gibsons,
thave given so much, nnd sho has been
Accepted. Sho has n knowledge of

I think It Is fine for these young women
to come forward and bo willing to take

f pust and will certainly be.
Katharine Force, although not a I'nna-

announced by her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. William J. Ireland, 444 South
Fifty-fifth street.
there seems to bo no special reason why
the young things should wnlt. Certainly
there is no scarcity of cash, which some
times makes a prospective brldo and
bridegroom stop and think a bit beforo
rusfiing Into matrimony, for one must
cat and have a roof over ono's head.
However, as these two do not have to
think about theso things they can go
ahead, and hero's wishing them all tho
Joy and happiness In the world!
Pauline has chosen her bridal party
already and thero aro to bo eight brides
maids and a matron of honor It Is not
surprising to llnd Cordelia Biddle Duko
among tho bridesmaids, for had Pauline
not been In deep mourning for her father
at tho time of Cordelia's wedding here
she would undoubtedly have been a
bridesmaid for her, as thoy were very
"Inty" tho year they camo out. Mrs.
Walter Brooks, Jr., tho daughter of Mrs.

SEVERAL persons have stayed at their

NOVEL METHOD SUCCEEDS
IN CURING FEAR
Mrs. S. .Levy Goes to Chicago to Visit
Son and Daughter-in-law
Scientists tell us that fear is our worst
enemy, and modern warfare has proved that
tho only way to overcome an enomy Is to
"stick around" and fight him till he sur
renders. Mrs. Samuel J. Levy was badly
frightened Borne tlmo ago by two nttempted
burglaries of her apartment at the Brigh
ton. .The second time they tried It two
men were caught, and Mrs. Levy started
then and emphatically thero to get rid of
her fear by the most approved modern
method. Until the robbers had been tried,
sentenced and secured behind strong bars,
she did not movo out of her apartment.
It Is quite possible that If another attempt
wero made to get Into the apartment now
the burglar would be moro frightened than
Mrs. Levy. Sho li cured I Now that the
excitement Is over, Mrs. Levy has closed
her apartment and has gone to Join her
sister, Mrs. A. Q. Scholl, of Atlanta. Ga.,
for a short stay In tho Alleghany Moun
tains. Later she will go to Chicago to stay for
some tjmo with her son and daughter-in-law

THIS tlmo another man had reached
ground. He nolzed tlm rope and
steadied It, nnd a third appeared. Tho first
gnomo whipped out a knife, freed Dalroy,
unalung his rifle, and picked up the electric
torch, which ho held ro that its beam filled
tho doorway. Man after man camo down.
Rach u.i3 armed with n regulation rifle;
Dalroy, for onco thrown completely off hla
balance, becamo dimly aware that In every
lnstti nee tho equipment Included bayonet,
bandolier and hacrback.
Tho cohort formed up, too, ns though
they had rehearsed the proceduro Ift tho
gyninatdum nt Aldershot. Thoro was no
muttered order, no uncertainty. Rifles wcro
unslung, bnyonets fixed, nnd safety catches
turned "ocr soundlessly.
Conquering his blank amazement as best
ho could, Dalroy Inquired of tho first sprlto
how many the party consisted of, all told.
"Twelo an' tho corp'ral, sir," came tho
prompt answer "The lucky thirteen we
calls ahrselves An' wn Wanted a bit o'
luck ter leg It all the w'y from Monzo to this
'ole. Not that wo 'adn't ter kill any Gord's
quantity o' Ycwlans when thoy troled ter

corp'ral, sir."
Dalroy was confronted by a clear-eyed
man, whoso squaro shouldered erectness wns
not,.concealcd by tho unkempt clothes of a
Ilolglan pendant. Carrying the rlflo at "tho
slope," and bringing his right hand smartly
across to tho hmall of the butt, the leader
of tills lost legion nnnounced himself.
"Corporal Hates, sir, A company. Second
battalion of tho HulTs. That German ofllcer
mado out, sir, that you were In our army "
"Yes, I am Captain Dalroy of the Second
Bengal Lancers."-
Corporal Bates became. If possible, even
moro clear, eyed.
"Stationed whero last year, sir?"
"At Lucknow, with your own battalion."
"Well, I'm beg pardon, sir. but aro you
the Lieutenant Dalroy who rode tho winner
of tho Civil Service Cup?"
"Yes. tho Maharajah of Chutneyporos
Dlwan." . . , , t
"Good enough! Tou understand, sir, I
had to ask. Will you take command, sir?"
"No, Indeed, corporal. I shall only
humbly advlso. But we must rescue the

as t6 warn us If nny of 'em camo this way.
As you know their lingo, sir, I recommend
that when wo creep out you tell 'em to
dismount They'll do it liko a shot. Then
wo'U rush 'em. Here's tho olflcer's pistol.
You might take care of tho shufTer and tho

"Excellent, corporal. Just ono suggestion.

They should bo headed off from Oombergcn.

Ready, sir? Douse that glim!
Out went the torch. Fourteen shadows
flitted forth Into the darkness nnd rain.

drawn up about thirty yards away, and

fng the "system" perfected by the "lucky
thirteen," he looked for an Irregular volley
at close range, throwing the hussars Into
fneltrfcable confusion. But not a ride
was fired until some seconds after he him
"elf had shot and killed or seriously wound
ed the chauffeur and. the escort. For all
that, thirteen hussars were already out of
action. The men who had crowed Belgium
from Mons had learnt to depend on tho
bayonet, which never missed, and was
silent and efficacious.
The affair seemed to end ere it had well
begun. Only two troopers succeeded In
mounting their plunging horses, and thoy.
finding the road to Oombergen barred,
tried to bolt westward, whereupon they
were bowled over like rabbits. Their ter
rified chargers, after scampering wildly a
few paces, trotted back to the others; Not
one of the twenty got away. Hampered
by their heavy cloaks, and taken completely
by surprise, the hussars offered hardly any
resistance, nut ieu cuibuik ,. ... .6.
As for the pair seated In front of the car,
they never knew why or how death came.
"Now, then. Smithy, show a light I"
shouted Corporal Bates. "Ah! there you
are, slrl I meant to make sure of this
chap. I got him straight off."
The torch revealed Corporal Franx
stretched on hla iback, and frothing blood.

EQUAL RIGHTS
to mako a really Important arrest. His
ghoulish Intent wns requited now In full
measure, nnd the life wheezed out of him
speedily ns he lay thero quivering In tho
g oom nnd mlro of that rain-swept wood
land road. Seldom. oen when successfully
ambushed, has any small detachment or
troops been ricstroyed so quickly and thor
oughly. This killing was almost an artlstlo
triumph.
"Fall In!" growled Bates "Any casual
ties?" "If there Is. flio blighters oughter be
court-ma wshalcd," chirped Smith.
A momentary fchuming uf grotesque
forms, and a deep olco boomed, "Half
tlmo score England twenty. Germany nil."
"Left section look 'cm over, ana carry
any wounded men llkoly to live Into tho
barn," said tho corporal. "Give 'em first
aid and water bottles. Step lively too!
Right section hold the horses."
This leader and his men wero as skilled
In tho business of slaying an enemy ns
Robin Hood and his band of poachers In
tho taking of tho king's venison. Dalroy
knew they needed no guidanco from him.
Ho opened tho door of tho car.
"Irene!" he said.
Sho was sitting there, a forlorn figure
huddled up in a corner. Tho windows were
closed. Each sheet of glass was so blurred
by tho swirling rain that sho could not pos
slbly mako out tho actual cause of the ex
ternal hubbub. After tho hard schooling of
tho last month sho realized, of courso, that
a rescuo was being attompted. Naturally,
too, fihe put It down to the ebcape of Maertz.
Although her heart was thrumming wildly,
her soul on flro with a hope almost danger
ous In Its frenzy, sho resolved not to stir
from her prison until the one man Bhe
longed to see again in this world camo to
freo her.
Tet when sho heard his voice the tension
snapped so suddenly that there wan peril In
tho other extreme. She sat so still that
Dalroy said a second time, with a curious
sharpness of tone, "Irene!"
"Yos, dear," sho contrived to murmur
hoarsely.
"It's all over. A squad of British sol
diers dropped from tho Bkles. Rvery Ger
man Is laid out. Von Ilalwlg with tho rest."
"Von Ilalwlg I Is ho dead?"
"Yes."
"I am glad. Arthur, they huve not
wounded you?"
"Not a scratch."
"And Maertz?"
"We must sen to him. Will you come
out? Noer mind the rain."
"Tho rain ! Ah, dear God, that I should
feel the blessed rain beating on my face
onco more In liberty!"
She gavo him hor hand, and they stood
for a moment, peering deep Into each other's
eyes.
"Arthur," she said, so quietly now that
tho storm seemed to have passed from her
spirit, "you havo work to do. I shall not
keep you. Tell me where to wait, and
there you shall find me But, before you
go, promise me one thing. If wo fall again
Into tho hands of tho Germans, shoot me
before I becomo their prisoner "
"No need to talk of that." he soothed
her "We havo a splendid escort. In two
hours "
She caught him by both shoulders.
"You must promise," sl)e cried vehem
ently. Ho was startled by tho vibrant passion
In her voice. Ho began then to understand
the real horrors of Irene's vigil, whether In
the rat-Infested darkness of the barn or
the cushioned luxuiy ot tho limousine.
"Yos," he muttered savagely, "I promise."
Taking her by the arm. he led her to tho
front of the car, where, clearly vlslblo her
self, sho would see little If aught of the
shambles In rear.
Corporal Bates hurried up.
"Her ladyship all right, sir?" he Inquired
briskly.
"Yes." replied Dalroy, conscious of a
slight tremulousness In the arm he was
holding.
Corporal Bates, though in all probability
he had never even heard of Bacon's some
what trite aphorism, was essentially an
"exact" man. Ho never erred as to dis
tinctions of rank or title. His salute was
tho pride of the Buffs. Blthely regardless
of the fact that not more than five piln
utes earlier Captain Dalroy had confessed
himself Ignorant of Lady Irene Beresford's
actual social status, he alluded to her
"correctly."

NOTHING TO DO
My Dears What would you say If a bird

"Oh, dcarl I have nothing to do."

so has every living thing upon tho earth.
Imnglno n kitten running to Ha mother

If a kitten did do such a thing, I think
the mother would tell It to wash Its face.
When a cat has nothing else to do, It
washes its face. Oh. tho patience of a

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY RUMPUS
BILLY AND THE HARDEN HOSE
By Farmer Smith
Rvery tlmo Billy Rumpus stopped, tho
pain In his hend and In tho tippy end of
his tall hurt him, so he kept on going as
fast as ho could.
"To think I was defeated In battle by
a porkey porcupine!" Billy was thinking
as ho kept up a rapid paco down hill.
He was not on tho road very long before
he found himself onco more In town, and
ho kept his eyes wide open, as he did not
wish to run Into tho fat man with the fruit
stand.
"That fellow started all my trouble.
Funny how trouble comes all In a bunch
Just llko the rain. The rain never comes
down one drop at a tlmo ; It comes In
bunches. Hello! what's this?"
Billy stopped suddenly In the middle of
the road. There stood a little boy , with
a small wagon 'tttilch had shaves. Ho was
so glad to see the little boy that ho ran up
nlongslde the wagon and the boy did the
mosx natural thing he took pity on Billy
nnd pulled out the sticker quills.
Billy was so grateful that he let the
boy harness him up and hitch him to the
little red wagon
"One good turn deserves another," said
Billy, as he backed Into the wagon. "I'm
going to be good this time. No moro
trouble for me."
Tho little boy drove Billy to his home
and unhitched him. Ho led Billy Into the
shed whore the goats wcro kept nnd tied
him with a rope. This made Billy snicker
out loud. "Wonder he wouldn't tie mo with
chewing gum," said Billy.
No sooner had the little boy gono than
Billy began to srilff. After ho had finished
sniffing, he ate tho rope which tied him
and walked quietly up to the door and
peeked out the keyhole. He gavo the door
a gentle little butt and It did not open.
Then ho ate the lock off and the door opened
Itself.
It took but a moment for Billy to walk
out on the green grass, and what do you
suppose he saw' Rlgh In front of him
lay tho garden hoso. Oh, how Billy did
love rubber!
"Nb wonder I was sniffing," he said to
himself. "I knew In my hollow bones
that I was near rubber. A nice garden
hose, too I will swallow It as fast as I
can and then I can chew It later."
He started eating the rubber hose and
had devoured about four feet when the
funniest feeling came ever him. What
was it? Never before had ho felt that
way it seemed as though his appetite were
disappearing down his throat.
"Gracious me'" thought Billy. Hp
couldn't say anything for his mouth was
full ef hose and the hose was yes, it was"
full of water' Some one had turned the
hose on and tho water was rushing Into
Billy's mouth nnd filling him at the rate of
a thousand gallons a minute at least. It
seemed so to him.
Just at tho moment when Billy expected
to bo blown up the boy appeared again and
It took but a second for him to see whnt
was tho matter. He rushed down tho cel
lar steps, two at a time, and turned the
water off.
Lucky Billy!
That was the second time he had been
saved In one day by the boy. How thank
ful Billy was, but he was fined up to the
mouth with water. If It had been some
thing clso, It wouldn't have mattered.
But Billy was lazy now, he didn't want
to do anything, except He down. The boy,
however, wanted to hitch Billy up.
Poor Billy.
Our once active friend our once active
butter wns now almost dead. He was so
gentlo a firefly could have led him around.
But wait!

or Forty Milca in tho
Country .
It Is an easy matter to tell how Senate'
Edwin H. Vare spends ,hls birthday; lw'
Imply roes horseback riding out -in th
country all day long. The Senator is fifty-
five years old today, and he handle the r(M
ot his favorite horse as youthfully an4
vigorously today as when he first took u
those of his political career.
Leaving his house at I o'clock this morn
Ing, the Senator and his five children headed
their horses for the open country and dis
tant hills, with no very definite direc
tion or destination in view, Just on a ram-'
bllng hlko of from thirty to forty mile
that Is one of the customary pleasures ot
this family group. The luncheon will be
eaten wherever and whenever the party
comes upon a hotel that "looks good."
The riding party will reach home In
proper time for dinner this evening, and
there the Senator expects to meet a few
friends, probably Including some of hla
closest political chums. He would not dis
close, however, who the members of this
little home party would be. He disclaimed
any knowledge of a special dinner that It'
had been reported his political friends were
planning to give him.
