I hear the Tom Robins, who hae ;en up in Bar Harbor, are coming down ?thls week. Jirs. KODins hum i " Emergency Aid work ever since it started, Slf, I am not mistaken, and has been splen did In every way. Her daughter Margaret ji "over there," Jbu know, working In Vrance. I heard the other day that about a, week before they went to Bar Harbor Nhev had a cable saying that Margaret I "'was safe. She must have been near the ' firing Hno or at some town where there had been disaster and the news was to reassure her parents, who had not known she was In special danger. The youngest child, a boy, Is a dear ana Imply crazy about his mother. And that Is a fine trait In a child. Mrs. Robins Is a Ijatunnlns looking woman, Is she not? Her ,-clotnes are always juoi. " ! ' o -and she wears them so smartly. I tninK she Is one of the smartest looking women ,ln this city. DID you know that Marlon Newhall Horwltz O'Brien Is up here from Moore I, Haven visiting the family? She s been paying with Eleanor, wno lives oui ai Strafford. And stayed down with Lily Newhall Howard, a cousin, In Atlantic City over the week-end. Lily has been having quite a family party for May Schwartz Newhall. George's wife has rome on from the West to visit and has been staying In Atlantic City with Lily. And Beck, Lily's sister, Is also there. Did r you eveV know a more popular girl than that same Rebecca Newhall? She Is with out exception one of the finest all-round irlrls, everybody says. And every one always wants to have her visit them. Full of fun and bright and biich a happy dis position. Marlon is not going to be up very long, s she is needed at De Soto Farms, where her abilltyvas a business woman becomes more apparent every day. I HEAR that Nancy Smythe Miles has , a little daughter. She was born on August 29 and Is to be named Nancy Thomas Miles. I think the name Is sweet, foe her father, you know, Lieutenant Thomas Miles, was killed In June fighting In France, and It is a lovely thought that, .though the baby is a girl, It can have both .parents' names, Nancy and Thomas. Nancy has been wonderfully braye about Jt all. You know she heard the news of Tommy's death from a friend of his and It was not confirmed In the official lists ' for at least a month later. It must have been a terrible thing for 1ki And I so L hope this dear small daughter will be a L comfort to the bereaved little mother. ANOTHER Philadelphia girl Is going to -France very soon for work with the I, -Red Cross. Florence Walsh, daughter of the late Philip J. Walsh and Mrs. Walsh, of Burmont, left today for New York and will sail shortly, I understand. She was educated abroad and has two sisters living In Rome, where they are very active in the Red Cross. Her niece, Phyllis Walsh, is also "over there," and this spring re ceived C,e Croix de Guerre for bravery and fine work. She drives an ambulance. Florenco is a' very talented member of the Plays and Players Club and has taken part in a number of their productions. She Has also been a very active member of the Woman's Council of National Defense and helped a great deal, in their recent drive to recruit young women for the United States Student Nurse Reserve. IT'S awful what this traveling business does. to one these days, isn't it? I guess it is to discourage any one from going "away unless it's absolutely necessary; but I .believe me, getting your trunk there and getting it back Is the worst. I heard the "cutest" story yesterday oh, very cute! 'You see, She had had to wait four days for her trunk when she arrived at her If New England destination, and so when she decided to go home she packed her I a trunk and sent it aneaa a wnoie aay. sne put her night garments and a fresh waist i in her bag to Hake that night on the train and started out in the morning on a long ihlke with a most attentive companion. !

"DREAMLAND ADVENTURES" By DADDY THE WITCH OF THE NIGHT A complete new adventure each wctk. befffo ntno Monday and ending Saturday ' CHAPTER III The Obedient Thunder Peggy, made small through a trick, is carried away by Night Heron to the den of the Wltcli of the Night.) ffIOME forward 1" rasped a harsh voice. J Peggy obeyed, straining her eyes to get a good look at the Witch. At that moment a brilliant flash of lightning revealed the creature In all her ugliness. The Witch was a Bird, but of a kind totally strango to Peggy. She had a long sharp beak, a snaky neck and a large body. On her head and covering her body were bristling feathers, the effect being much like that of an Indian in his war headdress. From beneath the crest on her head glittered beady red eyes. Around the Witch -was grouped a somber assemblage of Birds Night Heron and others of his kind, as well as half a dozen coal black Ravens. As. the lightning flashed, the Witch spread wide her wings and squawked: "Thunders roll. I command it." As if In obedience there came a long roll of thunder- The Night Herons and Ravens salaamed low before the Witch. "O powerful Witch of the Night, who makes the thunders obey, hall, hall, hall !" The Witch fixed her eyes, upon Peggy In a crafty smirk as if to say: "See how wonder ful I am." "Why, what nonsense. You can't make the thunder roll," Peggy burst forth. Indignant at this seeming trick. There came anotherflash of lightning. "Thunders roll!" commanded the Witch. "Rumble-bumble-br-r-r-r-r-r !" came the an swer from the sky. "O great Witch of the Night, whom the thunder obeys! Hall! Hail!" chorused the Birds. The Witch's beady eyes glittered at Peggy. "It would have thundered whether you told It to or not," declared Peggy. "Thunders rebuke this saucy stranger," shrieked the Witch, as the lightning flashed once more. "Br-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-rumble bumble-r-r-r-r," roared the thunder louder. Peggy wondered If this strange Bird really did have some mysterious power over the storm. But tier father had told her that lightning was just electricity and that when the electricity burned great hokj In the air the thunder was caused by other air rushing Into the gaps. Confident In this knowledge she decided to put the Witch's powers to a test. "Oh, look, look, look !" she cried excitedly, pointing into the darkness behind the Witeh. Alarmed, the Witch whirled around, while all her court craned their necks trying to see what Peggy was pointing nt. Meanwhile Peggy had her own eyes on the sky. In a moment there came a great flash. The Witch was so busy worrying over Peggy's sudden alarm that she didn't see it. Here was Peg gy's chance. "Roll, thunder, roll, and tell the world that the Witch Is a big fibber!" shrieked Peggy, so unexpectedly that all the Birds whirled around in startled confusion. "Brum-um-um-umble bankety-ur-ur-ur-ur-bum-bong-bong-ur-urur 1" roared the Thun der In emphatic obedience. The Witch was so surprised that she was speechless. The Night Herons and Ravens were amazed. They looked at Peggy In open mouthed wonder. Then to her astonishment they salaamed before her as they had before the Wltoh. m&ffi "Hail, hall. Wonderful Stranger," they croaked. "Hall to her who makes the thunder obey." it Tho witch was lurious. :,JW'You you you Impostor," she stuttered. ESSk'Iow dare you Bteal my thunder!" W Peggy, vexed. at the Witch's claim to the thunder, answered with unintended slangy rudeness; "Your thunder ! Why, you're loony." The effect of the word "loony" upon the Witch was most amazing. She rose, spread her wings, opened her mouth, and seemed about to dart upon Peggy. She never noticed another flash in the sky. But Peggy did. "Roll, thunder, and tell the world the Witch is loony." "Brung-ung-ro-ar-ar-ar-um-um-um 1" went the thunder. "Hall,- hall, Wonderful Stranger !" chorused the Witch's followers. "Who are you?" gasped the Witch. "Wh are you who dares use that word to me?" "I am Princess Peggy of Blrdland," an swered Peggy drawing herself up proudly. "Hall. Princess Peggy," chorused the Birds, while the Witch's eyes glittered venomously "Ker-chug! Ker-chug!" sounded a hoarse voice from the scummy waters. VPrlncess Peggy is In danger!" "Princess Peggy Is in danger," came a croak' from farther away. "Princess Peggy Is In danger," sounded from the distance. Peggy felt quick hope as she caught the message. It was the Frog telegraph passing the word alonr. Perhaps It would reach her friends and bring help. tX!B. f '! .. :Hi 1 WU M1P( JL.1PIILK.O ' JAMES H. HUNT, 3D, AND ALBERT REINHOLD HUNT James and Albert are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. James II.

Hampton Moore Washington, Sept. 4. pATTLlNO good fights between the " political elements are going Sh In a number of the States, proving rather con clusively that politics, despite the war In Europe, Is neither adjourned nor sup presssed. The Republicans are beginning to straighten and strengthen their lines with an Increasing faith In their ability to carry the next House of Representatives. To a certain extent President Wilson is responsible for this new condition. He has stirred up the animals In his own party in - .. , loss commendable house- cleaning effort, and has set the candidates of that party thinking harder than the Re publicans. The latter are saying little be cause of the general desire to go along with .. Via wfir. the Administration on account. ".. "- ( but they do not fall to observe that dem ocrats in many instances are both restless and disgruntled. It is no uncommon thing to have some Democratic Senator or Rep resentative flatly deny tho receipt of patronage from this Administration, al though everybody in Washington knows that the Administration has put upon the payroll nearly every serviceable man or woman that could be safely taken from actual war work. The President's letter to Senator Balrd,, of New Jersey, Indicating his readiness to" enter a Republican bailiwick, taken llth uis avowed indorsement of Henry Fori for both the Republican and Democratic ni dations for Senator in Michigan, haJ not only arousedthe interest of Reputfyans, but have served to unite them moreWldly. The Michigan Republicans in Washington have no time for Ford, and .the news of his defeat for the Republican nomination was accented by them in a spirit of Jubilation. The returns from the southern States have also been gratifying to the Republicans, who see In them evidences of Democratic disaffection. With the retirement of Chair man Frank Woods, of Iowa, from the Re publican National Congressional Commit, tee comes the announcement of a reorganii zatlon for a battle royal. The Democratic majority In the House is now so slim as to give the Democratic leaders concern, and a country-wide senti ment is favorable to a Republican House as a check upon Democratic expenditures. Moreover, Republicans are inclined to think the Democratic revenue bill will prove? a millstone about the neck of the party. JUST say "when" to Congressman John V. Lesher, Democrat, of Sunbury, and you will touch a responsive cord In tho hearts of his constituents. Lesher Is a lawyer and a farmer and a military man, but down here in Washington he runs strongest on agriculture, being a member of that Important committee of the House. During the Valley Forge visita tion, in which Uncle Joe Cannon took part, and when. Champ Clark was the big speaker, Lesher picked up one of Uncle Joe's stories and thought it so good that he told it to some of his friends at home. Somebody liad promised to give Uncle Joe a nice trip through the Schuylkill Valley. He said it reminded him of a farmer frletfd out on the Wabash, whose little boy kept tugging at his coat tails while a distinguished stranger was in viting him to come see the sights of the big city. "What's the matter with, you, John?" the old man 'finally said to the boy. "Ask him when, dad; ask him whe?" said the boy. The ladies and gentlemen of Sunbury, T.nwlsburr and Milton were delighted with th ?9Wrrwiw WHltalt and whsji at 1U 'Viv-iiiMifii rr it hi-. V bury and to his long-felt desire that they should some day dine with him, they promptly and with one accord exclaimed "When!" And' slnco that time, as the story goes in Washington, echo answer:! "When!" Those who know the Congress man best, however, say the question may soon be answered, since John V. is more successful In answering than In popping the question. "VUR old friend Alexander M. DeHaven, whose partnership with Milton C. Work, the chess expert, is a continuation of the law Arm established by former City Solicitor West and ex-Judge Henry J. Mc Carthy, has been hobnobbing with official life in Washington. Ho is an enthusiast on war and a popular speaker at meetings of fraternal organizations. His daughter is also actively engaged in Red Cross and kindred work, and is making a careful col lection of war posters. DeHaven, like Freeland Kendrlck and Edward N. Hnag, belongs to that vigorous body of Philadelphians' who keep alive tho spirit of fraternalism which reached Its climax at the great Independence Square meeting last week. The spirited Ameri cans who gave vent to their feelings at that great gathering had planned to secure the attendance of Mr. McAdoo. the Secre tary of the Treasury, but, as can be readily understood, that severely taxed official is now so tied up with revenue matters, rail road management and preparations for the fourth Liberty Loan, that It was out of the question for him to put in an appear- QUITE a lot of Pennsyhauians hae put In an appearance in Washington re cently. Frank Caven, who mixes politics with the sand he digs out of the upper Delawaie; James A. Mundy, who lives on the banks of the upper Delaware and mixes, sand with cement, and William J. Conlln, who mixes law with navigation, were among them. Director Wilson, of the De partment of Public Safety, also looked in upon the Houso for a while, as did ex State Senator John J. Coyle, who once made trouble for both Darrow and Loguo In the SIxth'Congresslonal District. Coyle is Interested in coal mines, and probably does better with them than he does with politics. Another visitor was Representative Mc Ardle, .who was Just looking in on the war Congress. Former Representative Charley Patten, now Secretary of Agriculture under Governor Brumbaugh, also dropped In. Like former Representative W. B. Alney. now of the Public Service Commission, he usually gets In a fewwords with Repre sentative Vare before returning to the Key stone State. SEVERAL of the symphony orchestras have been concerned over the proposed increase in the tax on admlssioTis. The Philadelphia Orchestra, and that of Cincin nati, which is patronized by Mrs. Charles P. Taft, Nicholas Longworth and others, made an unsuccessful effort to have the old rates stand. Alexander Van Rensselaer, for the Phil adelphia Orchestra, put in a strong claim on the ground that the increased -charge would fall principally not so much upon the patrons as upon that portion of the audience which is madu up or those who are Jnterested in the educational musical attractions. He contended that no single concert or operation of' a large symphony orchestra can even approximately pay ex penses, and then lie told the committee that'no person who Jias ever 'attended the symphony concert, aa ever, iq my Knowl I . vT , .'.'ufi.'.

The opium-eater In habits n world, opened to him by ills drug, and closed, even to hli memory, when the effects of that drug wear off.

All this Is the familiar mnterinl of modern psychology, out of which the scientists build strange and varied theories. I call these divided, or lost, personalities 'ghosts,' " "("hosts of the living, not of the dead " "More uncanny than the old-fashioned Kind," mused Una. 'Taney meeting one's own phost !" "Cases of such meetings are on record ; Shelley's, for Instance," said l.elghton drily. "The thing is strange and worth investigat ing But," added Dald laughingly, "I am not an lncstlg.ifor " "It Is fascinating," declared Una cm phatlcall "Tell us more about it, t'nele Harold.

"Ah, then science generally leaves Hi ghosts to take care of themselves It's -i good rule " "You say you am going to tiap a ghost; you don't really mean that," protested Una. "Remember, there are two kinds of ghosts. .s a scientist I am not interested In the ghosts of the dead. If they exist outside of falrv tales and theology let some one else hunt them. But I am Interested In thp other nntl more profitable kind tho ghosts of the living." "I don't understand," said David "It needs explanation. Remember what T said as to the phenomena presented bv the dreamer, the -hypnotic subject, tho dipso maniac, the narcomaniac. In each of these cases one human mind seems capable of division into two Independent hahes. "And each half seems to forget, or to be Ignorant of the doings of its mate. Now, I am hunting for this Ohost of the Forgotten. ,.n J ....mnnH,- " f,fTinrkPl1 DaVld. AC c-n.,r.n rnmnnllc." remarked David. Ac cording to your theory, don't you need a hjpnotlzed subject or nt least a dipsomaniac for your experiment?" "No. The Ghost of the Forgotten lurks In all of us. The man or. woman in whom this fihost Is not to be found is exceptional. I doubt If such a being exists a being whose Book of the Past Is as clear, as legible, as his Book of the Present." "But. your experiment, uncle, ' demanded Una; "show It tn us." "I need help for a satisfactory trial. An experiment Isn't a picture, or a book, you know. It needs n ictlm of some kind. What do you say. David?" he asked, turning abruptly to him. ,..., , , "You want me for the victim?" laughed David. "I'm ready Feel Just like my name sake before he tackled that husky Philistine.

A scarcely perceptible frown rlouueu i.eignion s icii tures before he accepted David's offer. "t merely want you to answer some auc tions." hi said finally. 'You will think them trivial; Hut I want you to answer them un der unusual conditions. Let m show jou my latest prize and explain thing'." l.elghton strode to the center of the room and thence down to that end of it where tho tools of his laboratory were kept. David and Una followed, enjoying the momentary relief from the scrutiny of the old savant, who was now, apparently, engrossed In his scientific apparatus. There was not much of the latter in sight, and to tho novice un familiar with the Interior of a physicist's laboratory, and who carries away a con fured impression of glass nnd metal Jars, tubes, colls of wire, electric batteries, revolv ing dlrcs. and all the nameless paraphernalia of such a place, the appointments of Harold Lelghton's workshop would seem simple enough. Yet, tho machine before which l.elgh ton paused comprised one of the newest dis coveries In this branch of science. Its sensa tional purpose was to measure and probe the mind through the purely physical operations of tho body. What nppearedi to be. at first glance, an ordinary galvanometer stood by Itself on a table. Its polished brass frame, its flawless glass cylinder Inclosing the colls of wire, recording discs and needle, suggested noth ing more than the Instrument, familiar to tho physicist, by which aft, electric current is measured and tested. Connected with this galvanometer, however, was a curious con trivance consisting of a mirror, over tho spotless surface of which, when tho machine was In oneratlon, a ray of light, projected fiom an electrified metal Index, or linger, moved back and forth, The exact course of this ray of light, the twists and turn made by It In traversing the mirror, was transfer red by an automatic pencil to a sheet of paper carried on a revolving cylinder. This paper thus became a permanent tecord of whatever experiment had been attempted. That the subjects investigated by this unique galvanometer were human and not Inanimate was indicated by two electrodes, at tached by wire hanging from the machine, intended to be grasped by the hands of a person undergoing the test. Its use, also, as a detector of human thought and emotion, and not of tnechan'-il force, was described by Its name the Elec tric I'sychometer. CHAPTER IV The Ghost of the Forgotten i4TTODERN rack and thumbscrew," ex- 1V1 claimed David, eyeing curiously the machine whose gleaming surface of glass and polished metal was in striking contrast with the somber oratory. Harold Lelghton paid no heed to the com ment. Ho was apparently too busied with some detail In tho complicated mechanism before him to attend to anything else. David and Una, on the other hand, were more amused than Impressed with the odd kind ot entertainment chosen for this memorable evening of their betrothal by the eccentric scientist, although every now and then some unexpected bit of Irony from him came dis concertingly enough. "Why should people, whose lives are blameless, think of racks and thumbscrews when they see a simple machine like this?" he asked suddenly, taking' up David's appar ently unnoted exclamation. Not waiting for an answer, he went on, as If with a lecture to which they had been Invited to listen. "So far as I know, this machine Is the first of Its kind to reach this country. It Is an Ingenious development ot certain laws psychologists have been using for some time In their experiments, and is based on a theory that Is, roughly, something like this: "A thought Is a part of the body that gives It birth. Thinking Is not confined to the brain. Like the assimilation of food. It In volves man's entire physical nature. In cases of exaggerated thought or emotion Intense grief, fear, Joy the bhysical effects are obvi ous. The scientist, however, claims that the physical result from a mental cause is not confined to these extreme cases. A thought, the presence of which Is not perceptible ,in aesture. facial cxpre.isl'uoili1 the slightest I visible emotion. Is, r use, wmwumcat- -visible emotion. Is, r T wseeommunicat- stonc Is large the waves caused by It can bo seen until they spend themselves on tho shore ; If It Is small, the resulting ripples be come Invisslblc long before that. The point Is. tho ripple exists, whether we see it or not. Just as docs tho wave, until It has run Its course "A thought In Its nhvslcal effect Is like' the stone thrown Into a pool. If it Is n big, exaggerated thought, the agitation produced is outwardly visible. If It Is small, more sub tle, less sensational, Its physical effects are invisible, although, theoretically, reaching In ripples to the extremities of the body. Hence the psychologist's problem Is to detect and measure these Invisible Intangible ripples of the mind, "Tills machine, my 'ghost hunter,' solves the problem. A Russian tclontlst discovered that an electric current passing through the body Is affected by any abnormal physical or neivous activity there encountered. Thought Is a form of electric Impulse and would, there fore, modify any other electric force crossing Its path Hence, Tarchanoff's law. Its prac tical application means the literal measure men of our mental ripples. And this Is done by the piychometer " "How?"' asked David. "It Is very simple. You hold these elec trodes In our hands. An electric current Is turned on and passes through jou. While ou ate thus charged with electricity I throw the btone, the thought, Into your mind. Tho degree or quality of disturbance caused by this thought modifies the rlectric current, the varying agitation of which Is made islblo hv the movements of an electric finger across this mirror. From there it Is recorded on the slit-et of paper In this cylinder." "What a horrible contrivance!" exclaimed Una. "I see how It woiks," mused David, "ex cept for one thing. How do you Introduce the thought ou want to measure?" "If I explain that, the experiment wouldn't be possible," said Lelghton with a laugh "The thought must come through uncon scious suggestion or our ghost of the for gotten will refuse to appear. In a way, It is like a game and Is more Interesting than most games. Did j-ou ever play the game of twenty questions?" "I have," Interjected Una. "It's this way: Something a book, a piece of furniture, anything at all is chosen by one set of play ers to be guessed by the other set. Then the set who Know the secret have to a:,swer twentv questions about It. asked by the other side. Tho questions sound silly, but they usu ally discover the secret." "Is jour experiment like Una's game?" asked David "Xot exactly Sit down In this chair and you'll see." Seated as directed, the psychometer stood a llttlo hack and at one side of him. "Now." said Lelghton, giving him tho elec trodes, "hold these, ono in each hand." "It's Ilka an electrocution '" exclaimed Una. "Are you very uncomfortable?" "Oil, quite the contrary! Now, Mr. Leigh ton " "Ready? Here goes the current. You will scarcely feel It"' Lelghton pulled out a small lever. A faint humming sound was heard. The electric finger on the mirror in the machlno became suddenly Illuminated. "Do you feel it?" nsked Una. "Yes; it's rather nice. This hero business Is all right, especially when you preside at tho performance, Una." "Now for your gamo of twenty questions. Undo Harold. Of course, you are going to let me Into the secret?" "How can 1?" bo retorted. "David has the secret." "1 have It?" repeated the other, perplexed "Certainly. But this Isn't exactly a game. You'll find It tedious. Una Why not stay with Mrs. Quaylo In the library until it's over?" "Nonsense' Of course I'll stay here," she leplled firmly "What am I to do?' asked David. "Hold ing theso handles is easy enough but noth ing happens." "Let mo explain," said Lelghton. "I am going to give you, one at a time, a number of disconnected words. As you heai eacn word, you must reply with the first word lh.it suggests itself to your mind. For in stance, suppose I say 'black.' The ward gives Use, instantly, to some answering mental picture, and that picture will suggest a word with which jour experience has associated it Thus, when I say 'black,' yoifmay think of 'night'; or, if jour thought goes by con traries, the woid 'white' maj' occur to -ou In an- case, tell me the first word that comes into our mind upon healing my word and remember that the promptness of j'our reply is an Important factor in the experiment." "It sounds easy," remarked David. "Let's begin." On n small table at which he was stand ins Lelghton placed his watch, a writing pad and pencil. Seating himself, ,he com menced the experiment In the way he had proposed, noting eacli word n3 he gave it on the pad before him, and marking the number of seconds elapsing before each of David's answers. Una, ensconced In a large armchair, watched the scene intently. "Theatre," was Lelghton's first word, "Music," came the prompt replj-. "Noise " "rileep." "Lion." "Teeth " "Sound " "Desei t " "Ocean " "Blue" A long series of similar question and an svvei -wolds followed, apparentlv- chosen at random and not Indicating nny sequence of ideas. Lelghton spoko with exaggerated monotony, his eyes fixed on David, ills hand moving with mechanical precision as he Jotted down the words and the lime taken for eaeii repl'. Scaicelj- any agitation was noticeable In the finger of light upon the mirror, nnd this pan of tho experiment seemed at least to Una a failure. "I don't seo what the machlno has to do with it," she 6ald, somewhat puzzled "David could Just as well answer J'our words with out holding those things In his hands." "L'na," said Lelghton, giving this as the next question-word and Ignoring the Inter ruption. David smiled, hesitated a moment befor replying, while the electric finger trembled slightly and then moved, slowly and evenly, back and forth across the mirror. "Light," lie answered. More question-words followed, most of them receiving prompt answers and produo. ing no appreciable effect In the psychometer.
