Of people you know whenever you go down
fo there on Sunday afternoon, i
I HEAR a number of women who live In
the country and whose husbands are In
tile service are working away for dear life
at rifle practice. It's a wise plan, too, for
? many a thief might take a chance at house
breaking If he was sure there was no man
In the house and that there was no one
to' shoot. The best thing about It Is that
the women who are learning to shoot are
keeping quiet about It, so It Is not known
that they can.
Only the other evening a man tried to
break Into a house out beyond St. Davids,
but the nclghbois heard him and tele
phoned the police and he was scared away
and the occupants did not know until later.
I hate to think what woufft have-happened
to him had he gotten in, however, for
that same little woman and -her daughter
are crackerjack shots and they arc right
there with their little guns.

HERE are quite a number of Phlladel-
- phia people up at Saranac inn nuw
enjoying the clear nutumn air. Isn't It
funny how quickly we begin talking about
the autumn air? Just about two weeks
ago we were raving about "this heat." and
now we bubble enthusiastically about fall
and cool, clear air. But anyhow, It Is clear
and very autumnlike up at Saranac, and
among those who are taking advantage
of the fact are Dr. and Mrs. George Fales
Baker, who motored up to Canada and
back recently, Mrs. George H. Earle
and Gladys Mather, lr. Hampton L.. Car
son and Mr.jind Mrs. Joseph R. Levering.
Mr. and Mrs. Percy Keating, of Chestnut
Hill, were there for some time, but le
iurned last week. Mrs. Keating looks
splendidly after a month in tho mountain
air. The Keating Johnsons are back from
a holiday, too, and are In their house In
Springfield! avenue- Chestnut Hill. Eleanor
was wearing a very smart blue-and-whlte
foulard on Sunday.
JrOU know about the big rally of women
, war workers this week? And that
Mrs. Baker, Secretary of War Baker's wife,
-" will be here and will sing at the big mass
a meeting tomorrow night at the Metropoli
tan Opera House, which will be conducted
by George Wharton Pepper? It appears
Mrs, Baker sings delightfully, so we have
a treat In store. I saw an amusing letter
from one of our soldiers In Washington,
. -who"" has been convalescing in a hospital
there. In It he said, "Last night, Mrs.
Baker brought out Madame Taihakl Mlura.
tho Japanese opera singer, who had a
really beautiful voice. She i.ang "One

a whole lot of other selections from the

Mnry Plckford does not appear as fre
quently as do most of the other screen stars,
but when she In announced It nlways means
a full house, although not always a good
production. This one Is good, and Its thin
stoiy Is made entertaining by the Individual
work of the players.
Before the 143d Field Artillery, of Cali
fornia, sallcdiovcrseas it adopted Miss Plck
ford as a colonel, and she has reciprocated
by making use of these men In this film. Miss
Plckford's characterization of a faim girt
who longs for a romantic inreer Is quite
amusing. Douglas McLean Is the new lead
ing man and ha has a pleasing personality,
while Monte'Bluc nnd Lmory Johnson have
Important roles. John Stcppllng, Wallaco

It Is not ofen that a "crook" play makes
good entertainment qn the screen because
tho directors are prone to make their plny
eis overact their parts, hot here Is, a pro
duction which Is a treat for the spectators.
Much human appeal Is found throughout and
the denouement Is well handled.
Director Hopper has handled the charac
ters with great ability and a good hurglar
storv Is excitingly told. In the role of the
gentleman crook Bert Lytell makes a pleasing
hero and little Joey Jacobs Is excellent as
the boy who beeks a pal Hhea Mitchell.

"Business Before Pleasure," depicting In
mirthful fashion the troubles of Potash and
Perlmutter In the motlon-plcturo business. Is

Lyric, with the end of Its exceptionally pros
perous engagement as yet unannounced.
Barney Bernard and Alexander Carr as
the partners are the chief funmakers.
"Chu Chin Chow," the gorgeouB Oriental
musical fantasy, based on the Arabian Nights
tale of All Baba and the Forty Thieves,
remains at the Shubert. The mammoth en
tertainment combines elements of extrava
ganza, spectacle, drama and comedy, with de
Ughtful musical numbers. The company of
300 Includes Florence need and Lionel
Braham. , ,
".Nancy Lee," Eugent Walter's drama of
modern metropolitan life, has entered upon
Its third and Inst week at the Garrlck. Char,
lotte Walker Is starred In the play as a
woman who lives beyond her means until
disaster Is imminent, but at the crucial mo

NEW "CROOK" PLAY
SEEN AT THE BROAD
'Not Willi My Money" Follows
the Familiar Formula of
Wallingford
Count that play lost whose low. descending
curtain finds nny footllght "crook" unredeem
ed nnd unrepentnnt, Such unsportsmanlike
creatures Haunt our trusting faith In human
nature nnd put the platitudes of Pollyanna
to. shameful rout. Kdward Clark has evident
ly learned this shrewd lesson of' popular
appeal from the familiar Cohan formula. Ills
farce with occasional melodramatic moments,
"Not With My Money," seen at the Broad
last night, Is reassuring to the last degree,
even If It dors unceremoniously chuck
plausibility to the winds.
The hero of "Not With My Money" Is a
lineal descendant of the Wallingford who got
tlch quick and then turned honest. In tho
present Instance, the riches nre not actually
obtained, but the slick and shady confidence
man. learns afresh the truth of the ancient
aphorism that "honesty Is the best policy,"
and that Is the chief requirement. He under
takes to trick nn amazingly unsophisticated
and even more amazingly unprotected young
heiress who has a fund of $7,000,000 to he
disbursed to charity. As custodian of the
fund he plans a mythical model city, and
after fluctuating for a time between cupidity
and conscientiousness, he Is forcibly commit
ted to the latter by the sweetheart of the girl
he set out to rob.
The plot Is full of Improbabilities, such as
the "sweet young thing's" possession of
great funds without nny proper guardian,
and the easy acquiescence in the rogue's
scheme by her flanco nnd n supposedly
shrewd country lawyer. The humor also has
more than a dash of the "small time" flavor,
of the sort In which puns pass for wit. But
with more of the Cohan brand of speed, which
docs not give audiences time to ponder over
lack of plausibility. It can be made into a
rather entertaining farce.
William Morris carries with ease and
suavity tho chief burden of the performance
bh the shrewd "con" man. Luetic Watson,
as one of his former victims who still loves
him. nlays with a degree of naturalness and
grnclousness fnr superior to the lines she has
been given. Walter Wilson makes effectlvo
In a broad way the role of a petty criminal
masked in the cloth of a clergyman. Beverly
West Is a pretty Ingenue as the hcliess. The
other more or less conventional roles are
played In a more or lens conventional manner

received splendid support from Carroll Ash
burn, Miss Ida Stanhope nnd others of the
cast
The bill this week at Keith's Is quite
Philadelphia!!, three men from this city ap
pearing in clever entertainment The first
of thee on the piogram was Keller Mack,
of Mack and Earl, in a singing skit, called
"A Letter of Introduction," in which Mack
divided honors with Anna Earl.
The travesty, "Mother's Boy." hV J. ".
Mack and company, was a scream, Mack's
impersonation of the old backwoods woman
being most enjoyable Mack Is the whole
show. To watch him finger his apron is
to laugh, and he has many other little man
nerisms equally Rood.
The third Phlladelphlan Is Bob Hall, "The
Extemporaneous ('hap," who nt one time In
his boyhood davs sold Public Ledgers at
the torner of Sixth nnd Chestnut streets
Hall was a decided hit. Coming on Just
after "The Sea Wolf," when it seemed that
It would he Impo-slhle to Inugh after wit
nessing the death scene of Wolf Larsen
he won a laugh with his first time, and in
a minute Wolf Larsen was forgotten
Eddie Buzzell and Peggv Parker provide
a bright singing and talking net. Two
surprise acts on the bill are Werner and

TJAOI'IVS defiant attitude vanished before
XV this announcement. Irritation gavo
place to amazement, distrust turned to
friendliness. Nor did he attempt to conceal

"I'osslblv," Baoul answered, turning again
to the papers that littered his writing table.
"That's all I want," declared I.elghton with
satisfaction. "Now, we "1 Plan our cam-
''"The ensuing silence was rudely broken.
There was a vigorous pounding upon the
outer door, followed l.y ine ii "
entrance Into the house of some one from
" Whoer It wa. this late visitor stood little
upon ceremony. But I.elghton and General
llerran had no dllllculty In recogn zing the
neivous shullle of feet along the s one
,ldor. the thump of the heavy walking-stick,
ucomianled by grunts or dissatisfaction and
"uppressed wrath When Doctor Miranda
llnallv bolted Into the room, fanning him
self ai uual although fans were a decidedly
uncomfortable superfluity In the chilly night
air of Bogota they were, In a way, pre
pared for him. , .,.,.,!
"He Is gone! He is lost that lcetle fel
low ' There In one more lost of them '" he
shouted, repeating hi disjointed IJiigllth In
staccato Spanish, as s-oon as he caught sight
i,f his two friends.
"What do you mean?" demanded l.elgh-
"I tell you, he Is lost, that loetle school
master " Miranda exploded.
"Andiew Parmelee lost? Impossible!'
"You nre an estupldo," retorted the Doctor
angrilj'. "I say he Is los-t. Before my ejes
he disappear I never lie. I never mistake."
Knrly that morning. It appeared. Doctor
Miranda, accompanied by the reluctant An
drew, had left Bogota for a visit to Lake
Guatavlta The report that David's dlap
peatanco three jears before had taken place
there was given ns the reason for the trip.
Arrived nt the lake, Andrew had declined to
accompnny the Doctor In his search among
the cllfTs that guarded the mjsterlous body
of water, and had stationed himself near the
cutting made centuries before hv the Span-
lards. This whs a comparatively weii
shcltered spot and s-utllclently removed from
the precipitous shore which the cautious
schoolmaster was anxious to avoid Ills in
vestigations concluded after the lapse of
something like two bonis, Miranda returned
to the old SpanWh cutting, expecting to re
join Andrew. But Andrew was not there.
Surprised at nnt finding him, the doctor at
first supposed that the schoolmaster had
grown tiled of waiting and had Journeyed
back to Bogota alone. A single clreum
stanie proved that In this he was wrong
There stood Andrew's horse where he had
nriglnnlly left him and It seemed alto
gether unlikely that his rider had deliberately
sit out to cover the long and arduous miles
to Bogota afoot.
"Another puzzle in psychology, I suppose."
commented I.elghton, with a sarcastic glance
at Itnoul Arthur
The latter, however. In spite of the fact
that Andrew was an utter stranger to him,
nppeared to be mote amazed than the others
by Miranda's storj', and for the moment paid
no heed to I.elghton
"When j-iiu found his horse you made a
thorough seaich for your friend, of course,
Senor?" he asked Miranda eagerly.
"Cnramba ' leetle fellow, what jou think?"
wns the impatient reply. "I look, and I
look, and I call fifty times I call. If I can
swim I Jump Into the lake to find him there.
But I nm too fat. So, call more times, and
I throw stones, and make the trumpet with
the hands. It is no use. That leetle fellow
saj- nothing. He Is not there. So, I come
awaj' after long time "
"He Is drowned, poor fellow," murmured
Hen an In Spanish.
"It Is not possible," declared Miranda, turn
ing angrilj' upon the general. "What make
him drown? Of the water he Is afraid If
he fall In by mistake he make, a noise,
he call to me. I am close by, 1 hear I go
to him quleklj". But I hear nothing
"Well, if he didn't drown, as our friend
argues, what did become of him?" demanded
Leighton.
"Ah, Senor," replied Miranda, his mobile
features expressing hopeless bewilderment, "I
do not know. It Is just so as I tell -ou :
he disappear, he vanish, he is gone If I
know where, I find him I would not be
here."
"So, there nre two disappearances to ac
count for," summed up I.elghton. "Foreign
ers visiting Bogota seem to have the trick
of vanishing. What do 'ou make of It,
Mr. Arthur?"
"I am as much at a loss as you."
"Hardly that, I should think. You, at
least, know all about this mysterious lake.
You know what happened there three years
ago, for Instance. And then you know "
"You credit me with a great deal more

knowledge than I can lay claim to," Inter
rupted Baoul. "I never heard of this man
who has been lost, as j-our excltnblc friend
tells us, In such a singular manner this
Mr. Andrew "
"Parmelee," supplied the other. "Andrew
rarmclce, schoolmaster, of ltysdnle, Connec
ticut. He Is a very excellent person who,
through his devotion to my niece and myself,
has fallen, I fear, a victim to some strange
plot. You will Join u, I have no doubt. In
his rescue. I am Ignorant of the psj-chology
of Guatavlta. However, Tis I havo already
told you, I am hero to ndd to my stock of
psj'Chologlcal knowledge, and I fnncy there
nre few who could teach me more, In cases
of this kind, than you "
The sarcasm was not lost on Miranda, who
shrugged his shoulders, muttered some unin
telligible Spanish Imprecation and exchanged
a comprehending glanco with General Her
ran. Baoul Arthur, on the other hand, Ignor
ed the tone I.elghton had adopted In address
ing him
"If I thought It possible of so profound a
scholar. Professor I.elghton," he laughed, "I
would say J'OU were chafllng me. As It Is.
I feel the honor In your proposal that I
should Join you In solving these mysterious
disappearances.
"Perhaps I can be of some help. At nny
rate, depend on ine for whatever I can do."
"Two Americans unaccountably disappear
In tho heart of Colcmbla," mused I.elghton.
"If It were not for certain odd circumstances
I should snv the country's Indignation over
the loss of Panama had something to do with
It."
Against this suggestion Miranda impa
tiently protested '
"Impossible'" be shouted "Always these
people fight with the gun, the machete, If
thev aie angry They make much noise and
talk: never they steal the enemies of their
country and say nothing. It Is one plot
and perhaps this senor will know," he con
cluded, darting an accusing glance nt Baoul.
But Hnoul, now thoroughlj composed,
smiled disdainfully, although agreeing In Doc
tor Miranda's rejection of Lelghton's half
formed theorj-.
"If It Ik necessarj'," he assured them, "1
can easily prove that I have had nothing to
do with all this. I have not been out of
Bogota for a month or more. Besides, I have
the strongest business leasons for wanting
tho safe return of David Meudon to this
countrj'. As for Mr Parmelee, I repeat
I never heard of him before. But 1 agree
with our friend here; the disappearance of
these two men has nothing to do with the
Panama trouble. It Is something else There
Is a mjstery about It I have no doubt It
can be solved."
"You have the clue"'" demanded I.elghton.
"I didn't say that "
"Well?"
"Perhaps I know some one here a woman
who could help us."
But that evening, lifter the depaiture of
his visitors, Baoul Arthur found the little
house In the Calle de las Kloies tenantless
and learned that the woman, known to the
neighborhood as I,a Belna de los Indlcw, had
left Bogota, with all her household effects, a
w eek before.
CHAPTER XI
In Which Andrew h Found
PVZ7A.KD at not finding SaJIpona, uncer
tain how to take up the promise he had
given In regard to her, an altogether unex
pected turn of events awaited Baoul at
Lelghton's hotel the next morning. Andrew
Parmelee had been found In the custody
of two delighted police ntllcers the missing
schoolmaster, bewildered, quite speechless
from his nocturnal experience, bad made his
appearance, scarcely an hour before Baoul's
arrival. When, thanks to Miranda's per
sistent prodding, backed by the calm ques.
Honing of I.elghton and Una's sympathetic
ministrations, he found his tongue, the ac
count Andrew gave of his adventure was so
wlldlv improbable that hlH friends were In
clined to believe ho bad been the victim of
some temporary mental delusion But this
did not answer the threefold question. What
had brought on his delusion, bow bad he
escaped the vigilant Miranda, and bow had
he fallen Into the hands of the police''
The two officers gave a felmplc statement
of what, so far as they knew, had happened
Late the night before, they said, Andrew
bad wandered Into the alcalde's olllce in a
little pueblo a few miles this side of Guata
vlta Ills appearance, manner and mental
condition they hinted broadly nougli that
the luckless Andrew when first found, was
In n very Irresponsible condition Indeed
called for the protection of the law. But
as tho poor gentleman, they said, was ap
pirently suffering from nothing more than
the effects of n too-convivial outing in the
countrj-. he had been put In Jail, not as a
punishment but rather as an act of humnn
Itj' Cnable to express himself In Spanish.
Andrew had evidently been something of a
puzzle to the slinnle-minded officials of the
pueblo Out of his Incoherent jumble of
words, however, the name of a hotel In Bo
gota had been seized upon A telephone
message was sent to the municipal police,
and the two officers who now had him in
charge were detailed to conduct him 111
safety to his friends. Beyond this, the clear.
Ing up of the mystery of his temporary dis
appearance if mystery it was rested with
Andrew himself But he. for a time, was
unable to satlsfj' the curlosltj' of his ques
tioners. "I don't understand It myself," he said
hopelesslj. addressing himself, in tho main,
to Leighton, whose calm demeanor was less
confusing than the badgering of the excitable
doctor. "All I know Is that when Doctor
Miranda went off to make Fume explorations
on his own account I felt a little nervous at
finding myself alone in such a dismal place.
Not frightened, jou know, but Just nervous."

at Peggy and General Swallow, The "JM
roaring whirr of the propellers gave warn-
Ing of what would happen to any one caught ' A
by them, They would cut a person or a bird Ar
to pieces In a flash. " J
"Quick!" shouted Teggj-, and her tiny 'I
plane leaped out of the way. So did General t (
Swallow, who escaped only by Inches. '
As the fighters sped past, Peggy saw on
the foremost one the black cross of Germany.
On the second was the striped hat of Uncle '
Sam. Peggy caught only a glimpse of tha v?
Yankee aviator, but It was a glimpse which 'i
showed her a splendid joung chap, handsome,'
alert, brave and determined, "i
"Whj It's Teddy Hose, our neighbor," aha i
cried. j
Teddj' was putting up a snappy, peppery
fight, and tho German was trying his best ,'
to escape the bullets that were being poured ji
at him. Suddenly the German dived down- '
ward, turned completely over In a "loop lha -loop"
nnd camo up behind Teddy, Then the
nun 8 machine began to shower bullets at
the American plane.
But Teddy was not caught napping. He
gave a sudden twist to get out of range,
dived and again came up behind the Ger
man. The German looped the loop again and
got In the rear. Teddy dove straight for tha
i-arth, straightened out, twisted around, and
came at the German from another angle.
This time his bullets went straight to tha
mark, for they put tho Hun's engine out of
commission. The German machine flopped
like a wounded bird, whirled around and
around as It dropped toward the ground, and
then straightening out just asVJt appeared
about to be smashed Into bits, landed safely
behind the American lines, where the aviator
was quickly made a prisoner.
I'eggy. who had gasped with horror aa
the German plane fell, gave a sigh of relief
ns she saw that tho blrdman was captured
and nnt killed.
"Some dandy fight that!" shrilled General
Swallow. "I'd say that this American air
man Is a better fighter than any alrbird I've
ever seen."
Teddy, when he saw that his foe had been
driven down, sailed away on the lookout for
more enemies to conquer. He didn't have to
look far, for Just ns Peggy and General Swal
low were swooping down for a closer Inspec
tion of the enptured German a second Ger
man machine darted out of a cloud right
behind Teddy Peggj gave a shout of warn
ing, but of course Teddy could not hear, the
roar of his engine nnd propeller drowning
out all other sounds. While the shout was on
Peggy's lips, a third German machine darted
from the clouds, nnd then nnother and
another, until there were seven foe machines
making straight for Teddj'.
The j-oung American caught sight of the Ger
mans, but pretended not to see them until
Just as they were ready to" open fire. Then
ho dived and the acrobatics that followed
hi ought him up behind the seven. Bravely
he attacked the whole bunch.
The Germans quickly dodged and dlveei
U to cet out of his fire, their stunts being aa
spectacular as those in which Teddy had
downed the first Hun machine. Then they
closed in on Teddj-, and it quickly became
apparent that they were too many for him.
He might lie able to whip them one at a
time, but he couldn't whip the whole seven
attacking at once and from several direc
tions.
"I'm going to help him," shrieked Peggy,
though slb5 didn't know what she could do. y
"So anr I!" shrilled General Swallow, put
ting on his fighting loot ,
Up they darted, only to find themselves
caught In a perfect hall of bullets as the
Germans tried to overwhelm Teddj-. Peggy
saw General Swallow suddenlj- go tumbling
head over heels toward the ground as a
bullet struck him Then her airplane waa
given a terrific blow from behind and she
followed General Swallow, turning over and
over hb she fill toward the earth.
