Cassatt Recovering From Accident. 1 " Private Makes Immortal Remark HERE'S more about the horso show. Or, to bo more exact, more about the Second Bryn Mawr War Horso Show for the benefit of the British-American war relief fund and tho Bryn Mawr Hospital, to bo held on Septomber 19, 20 and 21. Perhaps you wonder Just how tho proceeds are to be divided. Well, I'll tell you. Tho salo of boxes and entries wll bo for the war rellet'fund, and the salo of tickets only for the hospital. Several prizes already have been donated to Mrs. Robert E. Straw bridge, executive chairman of the. show. One of these Is a handsome piece of plate, presented by Colonel Herbert and Gen eral Gonnlng on behalf of the British Remount, to bo awarded In whatever military cIbbs Mrs. Strawbrldge nnd the committee decide to place them. A $50 Liberty Bond has been offered by Mr. Herbert Stoddard, who represents the Radnor Troop of the Bryn Mawr Reserve, to be given for tbe horse best suited for cavalry work, and another $50 bond Is of fered for the best artillery horse. Mrs. Edward Brownlnc and Mrs. Charles E. Coxe, who have charge of the sale of boxes, have been working hard and al ready have disposed of 'about two-thirds of trtem. They are going fast and furious, and when you stop to thlnlc of It, tho show Is only a month off, and what's a month theso days? Tho various commit tees have been hard at It In spite of the heat of tho last two weeks, and on that Wednesday, you remember that Wednes day when the temperaturo not only reached 106, but also stayed there defi antly all day, some of them were ad dressing envelopes to send out the tickets. Tou can Imagine what work that was on such a day. Mrs. Strawbrldge Is chairman, of course, and Mrs. David Sharp and Dor othy Mather are her assistants. Among others on the commltteo aro Mrs. Robert I Montgomery, Mrs. Charles Custls Hnr . rlson, Jr., Mrs. Edward K. Rowland, Mr.-,. John R. Valentine, Mrs. Altemus, Eugenia Cassatt. Jean Austin, Mrs. Howard Henry, Mrs. Samuel D. Riddle, Mariana Gowen, Mrs. Walter Jeffords, Mrs. Stanley Reeve , and Miss Anno Thomson. Mrs. Archibald Barkllo has charge of the committee on refreshments, which seems to be her specialty, and Bhe cer tainly does IP well. Mrs. Charlie Munn heads the prize committee, and tho gymkhana and "other sportB" I syppose that means the mule racing aro under the direction of Mrs. John '13. Converse, Mrs. Billy Clothier, Mrs. Harry W. Harrison and Mrs. Paul Denckla Mills. At least Mrs. Mills's name Is on the list of the com- mlttee, but she may not go on with tho work, as the news has come of the death of her brother-in-law, Captain Philip Mills, who was killed In action on July 25. Per haps she will go on, though, for In these days It seems to be the thing to hide your grief behind your pride, and not even wear mourning. It seems a "sporting" thing to do, even If It does hurt, don't you think so? And I am sure the .. . . . T J 111... I s VAlnn men "over mere wouiu imo u " ' Mrs. Victor Mather and Mrs. A. J. An telo Devereux are tho committee on toys for the children, and Isabella Wanamaker has charge of the pony subscriptions. Brownie Warburton has the delightful duty of taking charge of the candy, and Constance Vauclaln will provide the cigar ettes anditobacco. Mrs. Thomas G. Ashton will direct the march and pageant and Ellen Mary Cassatt has charge of the ad vertisements. So, you see, tho plans are being pushed and followed up, and the finished production will be "some show." DID you know that Mrs. Alexander J. Cassatt had quite a bad fall 'some time ago? She Is spending the summer In New port, you know. She is recovering, but sho really had quite a serious accident. For tunately, she fell in her own room, so that sho could have attention right away. vJ' a nBRAT deal has been said about the Away the Yankees "over there" I love to call them Yankees, it sounds so much Hike the way they look And a Joke In everything that happens to them. The only time they ever seem to complain Is when they are settled comfortably and safely behind the lines and can't find a match to light a cigarette. They seem to make much of little hardships and ignore tho real ones and really I think a lot of Mi would do well to follow their example. I saw a letter from, a lieutenant who Is "over there" now, In which he describes "the removal of his division to billets In a chateau In the "fine, prosperous, sunny France." They had mess In the old ban quet hall, with the colonel and his staff at the head of the table, and the men of lesser rank along the sides and at the foot of the board, Just as the ancient In habitants of the chateau must have ban queted. Only nowadays the same olive drab that adorns the head of the table also appears on the sides, and on the "strikers" who wait on the table. The trip to this place yaB made In freight cars, and took "four terrible hours." But the hardship of the Journey must have been lightened by the "Immortal remark." as the writer puts It. If a private who read the inscription "Hommes 40, Chevaux 8" on the ,side of the car, and Bald, In a thoughtful tone, "Well, I never heard of thn.. teams, but It must have been a rotten game!

HIS BLOOD SAVES STRANGER Hog Island Worker Submits to Operation to "Help Poor Fellow" The life of William Seth, a Hog Island shlpworker, of 1805 Wlngohocklng street, was saved yesterday by transfusion of blood, made possible by the sacrifice of Christian Erb, a fellow Hog Island worker, who sub mitted to tho operation at tho Northwestern Oeneral Hospital. Scth has been a patient of the Institution for several weeks, suffering with pernicious anemia. When the man was at the point of death last week the doctors decided only a blood transfusion could save him and placed an advertisement In the newspapers. Four teen men responded and Mr. Erb, whq lives at 1852 North Twenty-second street, was chosen as the most healthy man In the group. One of the men who offered their blood for the patient was Sergeant A. B. Mauger, of the ordnance detachment of the Frankford Arsenal. Asked If close friendship or relationship had been the motive of his sacrifice Mr. Erb, who Is a "big, strapping" man, said Seth was a total stranger to him. "I Just saw the 'ad' and thought I would help the poor fellow out," he said. "I have lots of It, you know, and could afford It easily." , , Photo by Bachrach.

CHAPTER I The Call o the Crichcti 44nREEK - creek - creek - creek - creek 1" j came the monotonous chirp of a cricket outside of Peggy's window. It was lulling her sweetly to sleep, when all nt once slio roused up wide-awake. Tho "Crock-creck-creck-creek" was bringing a message to her much like the tlck-tlck-tlck of a telegraph Instrument brings n message over t:ie wires. Only in this case she could make out tno words clearly and didn't have to change them from dots and dashes Into letters ana sentences. "Come. Princess Peggy, to tho Birds car nial. There's going to be frolicking In tho moonlight tonight on the green at the fifth hole of the golf course." Of course, I'll come. Just as quickly as I can get dressed," cried Peggy. "Princess Peggy sends her- compliments to Blrdland and says she will come as soon as she can get dressed," sounded tho cricket telegraph. A cricket farther away caught up the message and passed It along. A third got it still farther away, nnd so It went far out of hearing. "That's a regular wireless telegraph," thought Peggy. "I neer knew before that a crlcket'3 chli p was the slightest use." As sho was dressing she heard a message "The Dats! The Bats!" shrieked the Night-Hawks coming back, sounding Indistinctly far away, and then loudly and clearly as It came near. "Princess Peggy, dress up funny "As n chicken or a bunny; Every one will gaily rollick At our yearly harvest frolic." "And I haven't a single fancy dress to wear" said Peggy In dismay. "If I could only get Into- my doll's clothes I'd bo fixed fine." , "We're here at your service. Princess Peg gy" called a voice from outside, and there wa's her aerial chariot borne by the Whip-Poor-Wllls nnd Nlght-Hawks, which had served as her flying horses when she flew to battle with old King i.row. "Goody 1" cri?d Peggy. "And I'm sure you have fairy ring grass to make me small." She looked beneath the seat of the chariot and true enough, thero was a blade of fairy ring grass. It took her only a moment to nibble It and quick as a wink she was the slzo of her dolls. Now Peggy had a wide assortment of frocks from which to choose. The one that caught her eye, however, was a gay parrot costume she had made out of colored paper. "What a Joke It will be to go as a strange bird. Then I'll fool them all," she giggled to herself. The parrot dress fit her perfectly. As shs looked into the mirror to see the effect she nearly fell backward in amazement. She looked exactly like a real Parrot. "If I could only squawk and screech like a Pal rot I'd be all fixed," she tittered. "This is better than going as a chicken or a bunny, and it certainly will give those Birds a scare." Among her toys was a tiny auto horn. "There's my squawker," she thought, as she quickly tucked It beneath her wing. "Now, I'm ready." Outside tho window sill was her aerial chariot. As Peggy stepped Into view she squawked a greeting with the- horn. The effect was not what she expected. Instead of laughing back at her, the Whlp-Poor-Wllls and Night-Hawks gave one look at this strange and awful looking Bird and dashed away with loud screeches of fear. Peggy had to call to thm again and again before U. S. N., AND MRS. HODGE Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Stotcsbtiry, where The bride aqd bridegroom arc both Wash. they would bcllee tlint It was really she and not a fierce, wild Parrot. When the aerial chariot drew cautiously near again, Peggy seated herself on the throne and nway they went rcr the carnival. As they passu oer u black chimp of trees, a dark cloud suddenly whirred up to ward them. "Tho Bats ! The Bats !" shrieked the Night-Hawks. "And we can't fight because we aro harnessed to this chariot." ".Squeak! Squeak' Now we'e got thei Night Birds where we want them," shi Irked the Bats, rushing to the att.ick. Things looked pretty bad try Peggy, for she knew that tho Birds couldn't fight unless they dropped her, nnd if they did drop her she would be smashed on the ground far below. Then sho thought of her horn. "Squawk! Squawk ! Squawk !" It sounded with such alarming suddenness thnt tho Night Birds Jerked tho chariot as though they would tear It to pieces. But the squawk scared the Bats oven more than It did the Birds. They were coming to tho attack full tilt, but now they veered off with wild squawks. "Tho Witch of the Night," they .squealed. "Fly, or she'll get us." "And nway they flew ns fast as their wings would enrrj them. Tomorrow 1'cnnv reaches the carnival and iccclvcs a stian;;e tvarninij.) PROFESSIONAL PAUPERISM LAID TO POLITICAL SYSTEM Philadelphia has more professional pau pers than any other city in the world, George Long, evangelist, told a largo audience last night nt the Inasmuch Tent, Sixtieth and Locust streets. Ho was speaking on tho topic. "When Philadelphia Touches God." "Theso professional paupers are living upon our corrupt political sstcm," said the evangelist, who several years aco fraternized with the social outcasts of whom he was speaking. "They arc called tho home guard. Their business Is to do dirty work for the Organization nt elections. In other cities nhd towns such men nre imported only nt election time, but in Philadelphia they remain all year round. There aro thousands of theso men in Philadelphia. Their presenco Indi cates that Philadelphia Is tho most corrupt city In the world."

CHAPTER XVI (Continued) MR. SMITH greeted Ronald Gray with a warm handshake and a keen glance Into his fnce. The blush, the hesitation, the shy happiness In Melllcent's eves had been unmistakable. Mr Smith felt suddenly that Donald Gray tins a man ho very much wanted to know a good deal about. He chatted affably for a minute Then he went home and Rtralght to Miss Maggie. "Who's Donald Gray, please?" he de manded Miss Maggie laughed and throw up her hands. "Oh, these children I" "Hut who Is he? "Well, to begin with, he's devoted to Melllcent " "You don't have to tell me that. I have seen him and Melllcent." Oh!" Miss Maggie smiled appreciatively. "What I want to know Is, who Is he?" "He's a young man whom Melllcent met this summer He plays tho violin, and Mel llcem played his accompaniments in a church entertainment. That Is where she met him first. He's the mn of a minister near their camp, where tho girls went to church He's a fine fellow, I guess He's hard hit that's sure. Ho came to Hlller ton nt once, and hns gone to work In Ham mond's real estate office So you see he's In earnest "I should sav he was' I liked his ap pearance very much!" "Von, I did but hes mother doesn't " "What do jou mean? She objects?" "Decidedly! She says he's wor'-n thnn Carl Pennock that he han't got nny money, not nny money." "Money !" ejaculated Mr. Smith, In genuine nmn7ement. "You don't mean that she's renlly letting monev stand In the way If Melllcent cares for him 7 Why, It was onlv a year ago that she herself was bitterly censur ing Mrs Pennock for doing tho same thing In the caso of young Pennock and Melllcent." "I know," nodded Miss Mnpclo. "But she seems to have forgotten tlint " "Shoe's on the other foot this time" "It seems to be." "Hm-m!" muttered Mr Smith. "I don't think Jnne hns done much et. i ny way or opposition, lou see, they've onlv reached home, and she's Just found out about It. But she told mo she thouldn't let It go on, not for a moment, Shu has other plans for Melllcent." "Shall I be meddling In what ln't my business, If I nsk what they aic?" queried Mr. Smith diffidently. "You know I am very much Interested In Miss Melllcent " "Not a bit. I'm glud to have jou. Per haps you can suggest a way out for us," sighed Mls Mngglc. "Tho case Is Just this: Jano wants Melllcent to marry Hlbbard Gay lord." "Shucks! I've seen young Gray only once, but 'd give moie for his llttlo finger than I would for a carload of Gaylords!" flung out Mr. Smith "So would I," approved Miss Maggie. "But Jano well, Jano feels otherwise. To begin with, she's very much flattered at Gaylord's attentions to Melllcent the moro r no. cause ho'.s left Bessie I beg her pardon, Elizabeth' for her." "Then Mis Elizabeth Is in It, too?" "Very much In It. That's one of tho reasons why Hnttle Is fo anxious for more money. She wants clothes and Jewels for Bessie so she can keep pace with the Gay lords. You seo there's a wheel within a wheel here " "I should say thero was!" "As near ns I can Judge, young Gnvlnrd Is Bessie's devoted slave until Melllcent arrives then ho has eyes only for her, which piques Bessie and her mother not a little. They were together more or less all summer, nnd I think Hnttlo thought tho match was ns gooo as maun. j,0w once In Hlllcrton, back he flies to Melllcent." "And Melllcent!" Miss Maggie's eves became gravely troubled. "I don't understand Melllcent. I think no, I know she cares for young Gray; but well. I might ns well ndmlt It, she Is ready any time to flirt outrageously with Hlbbard Gaylord, or or with anybody else, for that matter. I saw hor Illrtlng with you nt the party last Christmas!" Miss Maggie's face showed a sudden pink blush. Mr. Smith gave a hearty laugh "Don't you worry, Miss Maggie. If she'll flirt with young Gaylord and others, it's all right. Thore's safety in numbers, you know." "But I don't like to have her Illrt at nil, Mr. Smith." "It Isn't flirting It's Just her bottlcd-up childhood nnd jouth bubbling over Sho can't help bubbling, she's been repressed so long She'll como out all right and sho won't come out hand In hand with Hlbbard Gaylord. You see If she does !" Miss Maggie shook her head and sighed. "You don't Know Jane. Jane will never give up. She'll be quiet, but she'll bo firm. With one hand she'll keep Gray nway and with tho other she'll push Gaylord forward. Kven Melllcent herself won't know how it's done. But it'll be dono and I tremble for the consequences." "H-m-ml" Mr. Smith's eyes had lost their twinkle now. To himself he muttered: "I wonder if, maybe I hadn't better take a hand In this thing myself." "You said I didn't understand what you said, murmured Miss Maggie, doubtfully "Nothing nothing, Miss Mnggle," replied tho man. Then, wltji business-like alertness, he lifted his chin. "How long do jou say this has been going on?" "Why. especially since they nil came home, two weeks ago. Jane knew nothing of Donald Gray till then " "Where does Carl Pennock come In?" Miss Maggie gave a gesture of despair "Oh. he comes in nnywhere that bp can find a chance ; though, to do her Justice, Melll cent doesn't give him many chances" "What does her father say to all this' How docs ho like young Gray?' Miss Maggie gave another gesture of de spair "He says nothing or, rather, he laughs, and says: 'Oh, well, It will come out all right in time. Young folks will be young folks !' " "But does he like Gray? He knows him, of course." "Oh, yes, he likes him. He's taken him to ride in his car once, to my knowledge." "His car! Then Mr. Frank Blalsdeli,has a car?" "Oh, yes, he's Just been learning to run It Jane says he's crazy over It, and that he's teasing her to go all the time. She says he wantB to be on the move somewhere every minute. He's taken up golf, too. Did you know that?" "Well, no, I didn't." "Oh, yes. he's Joined the Hlllerton Country Club, and he goes up to the links every morn ing for practice." "I can't Imagine It, Frank Blalsdell spend ing his mornings playing golf!" "You forget," smiled Miss Maggie. "Frank Blalsdell Is a retired business man. He has begun to take Borne pleasura In life now." "Humph!" muttered Mr. Smith, as he turned to go Into his own room. Mr. Smith called on the Frank Blalsdells that everting. Mr. Blalsdell took him out to the garage (very lately a barn) and showed him the shining new car He also showed him his lavish supply of golf clubs, and told him what a "bully time" he wab having these days. He told him, too, all about his western trip, and said there was nothing like travel to broaden a man's outlook. He said a great deal about how glad he was to get out of tho old grind behind the counter but In the next breath he asked Mr, Smith If he had ever seen a store run down as his had done Blnce he left It Donovan didn't know any more than a cat how such a store should be run, he said. . When they came back from the garage MONEY! they found rallers In the living room. Cart Pennock nnd Hlbbard Gaylord were chatting with Melllcent Almost nt once the doorbell rang, too, and Donnld Gray came In with h's violin and n roll of music. Melllcent's mother came In also. She greeted nil tho young men pleasantly and nsked Carl Prnnork to tell Mr Smith all about his fishing trip Then she sat down by young Gray and asked him many questions about his music. Sho was so Interested In vlollnn, she said. Grav waxrd eloquent and seemed wonder fully pleased for about live minutes, then Mr Smith saw that his glance was shifting more and more ficquently nnd more nnd more unhappily to Molllcent nnd Hlbbard Gaylord, talking tennis ncross the room Mr. Smith npiMicntly lost Intirest In young Pennock's fish Btory then. At nil events, nnother minute found him eagerly echoing Mrs. Illalsdell's Interest in violins but vvltn this difference: violins In tho abstract with her became a violin in tho concrete with him ; and he must hear It at once Mrs Jano herself could not have told exactly how It was done, but she knew that two minutes latir .voting Gray and Melllcent were at the piano, ho. shining-eyed and happv, drawing a tentative bow across the .
