Edgar Sheppard to Go 'Abroad for Red Cross Nancy Wynne Chats on Other Things ABIT of old-time Kaycty Is really start ing with the Horse Show today. For most of the women Interested are enter taining guests from nearby cities. And pretty'nearly every one Is home now from places far enough off to permit their at tending the. Show. , The excitement wll( start ahout 10 o'clock with the first entries In the.neld, and there will be a dog show on the side besides va rlous other attractions. Mrs. Bob Straw bridge la chairman of the women's com mittee, and1 the men managers of tho show Include WllllanrWanamaker, Dr. Thomas G. .Ashton and Charles Eckley Coxe. You know It's a charity benefit "for the British War Relief Fund and the Bryn Mawr Hos pltal. . Some persons have been under tho Im pression that part was togo to the Social Service Bureau of the hospital, but I have learned that It is not. In fact, the mem bers of the Social Service have not been obliged to appeal for aid for morp than two years, as their treasury is full enough for present needs. Tou see, the confusion came about because the women In the So cial Service undertook, to sell some of the Horse Show tickets for the hospital, so a great many thought it was for that com mittee's work. And It is the hospital which Is to have the Convalescent Home at Lan caster Innvnot the"Soclal Service Bureau. So it is we live and learn all about every thing sooner or later, do we not? THE Howard Henrys are going to stop with Mrs. Haul Denckla Mills, Mrs. Henry's cousin, during the show, and Mrs. Edward K. "Rowland has a number of peo ple with her at her home. Rock Rose, In Radnor. Mrs. Barklie will have.Admlral and Mrs, Carey Orayson and Mrs. Stettl-' nlus and her daughter as guests, and there will be any number of other out-of-town people. Mrs. Baker, wife of the Secretary of War, will be there, and .altogether it's going to be fine. I say "going" advisedly, because it's to last three days, you lcnow. DID you know that Edgar Sheppard sails shortly for France to do Red Cross work? Yes, he locelved his orders last week and Is to go at any time. Edgar lu a son of Mrs. Edgar L-. Sheppard and a brother of Mary Sheppard. He and his family live In Chestnut Hill. His cousins are Carolyn and Mildred Sheppard, and A. Maxwell Sheppard Is an uncle. Edgar has been wanting to go for some time and is simply delighted at getting his appointment. He H a mighty line fellow, and tho wishes of all his friends go with film in this great work. I WAS talking to Mrs. Woodward yester day. Mrs. William H. Woodward, you know, who was a Miss Mather, a sister of Mr. Charles Mather. She Is perfectly blind, hut goodness! she can do more than many a person who has perfect sight In both eyes. She's simply wonderful! Of com so, Uie Is mightily interested in the drive that Is gofng on this week for the Pennsylvania Working Home for Blind Men. And she, with her team, for she Is chairman of one of the teams, won the banner the first day of the drive for bringing in the largest amount. Mis. Woodward tells me that her team has gotten up a dandy conceVt to be held this evening at the Phllomuslan Club. Miss Ruth Buck, who Is blind, will sing, and Mrs. Sam Woodward will recite and sing Indian songs In costume, and there will be a short talk by Mr. Mills, and pallors will attend, and altogether there'll be "some" doings. There are no tickets, I understand: Just a voluntary offering will bo asked and every one will be welcome. Of course the proceeds will be iglven to swell the coffers of the drive, and particu larly that of Mrs. Woodward's team. r rr YOU are 'asked out to dinner a week ahead of time and happen to be moving Into town that same day and have on top of that such a headache that you cannot see. Just ty to revive enough to leave out a proper dress and "slch" to take Into town with you in the car; for sometimes the movers, even the local ones, do not get in on schedule time, and you might be left as was a certain girl I heard of. She had a dinner engagement besides a day of letters ahead of her and sho woke up with such headache she could scarcely see. Well, she stayed quiet most of the day having to give .tip all idea of letters and was about to call off the dinner, even though it had been specially arranged for her. But the quiet and a ride In the fresh air Into town made the head so much better, about 5 o'clock she decided she. had better go. So about ari hour before train time she started to get ready when she found to her.horror that all her gowns but two very dressy evening ones were still "on their way" in town; and she had only a sports suit and a georgette walstxthat Bhe had lived In for many a day to wear. Well there was nothing to do but to go. Then' slje hrfjl a brilliant thought. Upstairs in a certain chest was a suit that was laid away with bits of fluffy things to be worn tome day if she ever did make up her mind to say" "yes." So up she went and got 'it out and borrowed her sister's hat and had to wear cotton stockings and old shoes, and borrowed a belt from her hostess when she WK&id her destination. But she had fun Just-the same. And there's a moral :i Always keep a Hope Chest, whether there's a fiance In the offing or not. But It's, also wiser to look ahead, oven If yot Save got an awful headache, and take some dress In a bag with you that you could wear Ehould your trunk not arrive In time. NANCY WYNNE.

WelwU M GERMANTOWN WOMEN . .LEADERS IN WAR WORK National League for Service Mem bers Inspired by Love for Fighting Men It may be because most of them hae sons or husbands In service that the thousand or more members of the Germantown branch, National League for Women's Service, nre accomplishing such wonderful war work. At any rate, they are striving to be no less soldiers than the men at the front, and they have built up an organization little less per fect than the great military systemf today. In fewer than twenty-four hours 1000 women may be called together for emergency work of nny sort. They have demonstrated their efficiency In so many cases that tho Government repeatedly calls on thorn for further service. When a registration of wom en was wanted this spring the house-to-house canvass 'committee of 250 members, with Mrs. William C. Marshall as chairman, took up the work and turned In the names and data concerning 16,000 women of German town alone. In Liberty ,onii, war-savings stamps and all other drles this committee has accomplished wonders. From early morning to late evening the Xatlonal League's Service House In German town Is humming with activity. There nre women mending soldiers' overcoats and clothing In one reom ; some making little garments for the refugees lu France and Belgium; groups of jounger women busv over convalescent libraries and Joke cards; committees planning rummage sales or other benefit affairs; others taking care of the thousands of Jars of fruit and egetables canned In the house this summer; women In tho knitting room making machine-knit socks or doling out yarn to industrious home knit ters, and other women answering tele phone nnd. personal Inquiries relative to Gov ernment work. Classes In French Then, too, there are the classes In French and In typewriting, which have Just started for the term. Men and women of all ages are eligible to the classes which Include both the elementary and advanced courses. Mrs. J. J. Moylan, chairman of the com mittee on mending soldiers' clothes, said to day that so far only ovet coats had been handled, hut other garments would be token In a few weeks. The overseas committee, ot which Mrs. G, Blight Robinson Is head, made fifty oilcloth trench Jackets by request of the Government and Is constantly working un clothing for refugees and making aviation vests of old kid gloves. It also makes canteen aprons for the Xatlonal League canteen at the navy ards and supplies completelv filled Kits for all the men drafted by local Board Xo. 17. Junior League Mark The Junior Lcngue. of which Mj:s. Edward Xewklrk Is lieutenant colonel nnd Miss Janet Mlddleton captain, Is also housed In the Service House. The "Juniors" are the ever ready helpers, collecting much of the money from theatres, collecting games and music records to bo sent to camps; sponsoring rum mage sales and affairs for tho benefit of war work and making Joke cards and li braries for hospitals. "You see, our Service House Is a sort of ' melting pot for all gifts of work, money or articles Intended to aid Uncle Sam," ex plained Mrs. A. H. Wight, executive secre tary of tho Germantown branch. Children Contribute "Even the children of the community bring their contributions. There Is one group of chlldien organized to collect peach stones and they bring them here to he sent off. Others bring lu the most motley collections of things Just because they are eager to give sdmethlng to their country. I never refuse anything. Most of the articles that cannot be used directly lu war work may be sold and the money used." The members are particularly proud of the egetables and fruit from war gardens put up at the Service House this summer. More than 4000 Jars were put up. Some of this was donated outright to the league, sold nnd the proceeds put Into war work. In other cases the owners pa'd the league to conserve the produce. Mis. John Mustard chairman of the food conservation com mittee, and a canning expel t was obtained to direct the work. Ten to fifteen volunteer workers helped her each da. Mrs. James Starr is chairman ot the Ger mantown branch of the Xatlonal League for 'Women's Service, which has won such high praise throughout this section of the country. Mrs. John Mustard Is secretary; Miss Elvira I'lumer, treasurer; Mrs. Fred P. Powers, chairman of publicity. Other members of tho board are Mrs. W. Jay Turner. Mrs. William B. Kurtz, Mrs. G. ijUght Iloblnson, Mrs. Franklin Baker, Mrs. Edward T. Xewklrk, Mrs. William C. Marshall, Mrs. Wendell Ueber, Mrs. Francis B. Reeves. Jr., and Mrs. Harry T, Cassard.

Icrouched down, therefore, as 1 had seen him do, rorced my way through the narrow opening In the lock. ....: .,.. ... o imu ,iun, 'iiiiv. found ana irecmi.v, um ...v... "'. , . mvself In a dark passage that afforded tne room to stand upright and move foMvard 1 could dimly perceive my guide walking at some distance In front of me. and I hastened as well as I could to reach him In this I did not succeed, and so we followed the passage, he leading nnd I after him, for a hundred vards or mine, until we cuiiu to an abrupt anglo In the wall wbeie the uneven path made a sharp dip downward. Here I stopped, having completely lost aiKlit of my guide, and after waiting n shoit time 1 called to him. Xo answer came that I could hear, and In the darkness that sur rounded me I began to grow confused and alarmed. It seemed to me I had Ueen lured into some sort of trap. Repenting of my folly for having ventuied w fat Into such a dismal hole. I determined to get out of It as dulckly as possible. This, I thought, vyould be easllv done because, to the best of my knowledge, I had followed along a straight corridor and, if I turned back. 1 would soon come within sight of the opening that led to the lake. ...... u. "But either I had miscalculated the dis tance I h.id walked, or else. In turning to go out, I started In the wrong direction. At any rate. I had not gone very far before I found myself In a labyrinth of passages. I perceived this by feeling along the wall. And so there 1 was, without anv clew to help me in choosing the right passige I scarcely know what I did when 1 real lied that I was hopelessly lost In this pitch black cavern. For one thing, I shouted for help thinking that possibly Doctor Miranda mlKht -heai1 me. But the echoes from my voice were more terrifying than the silence. The air was Stirling; the ground appeared to move beneath my feel; the darkness was hko a heavy veil winding closer and closer ibout me. Then, unable, as it seemed to me, to move or breathe any longei, evervthlng went from me.' t sank to the floor uncon scious. And that's all I remember." "But bow you say that? You are lieic, leetle fellow," blurted Miranda. "You are all right." "Yes I am here." Andrew assented woe fully '"But I don't know how I got here. When 1 came to myself again I was lying on the shore ot the lake; It was quite dark. My horse had gone -" "That is right; I take him, corroborated Miranda, with satisfaction. "I don't know how I succeeded lu doing It i suppose It wns Instinct but I managed to follow the trail on foot, and nfter sC desperate struggle I reached the village where the people helped me to get back to Andrew's story vvas.varlously received. No one could doubt his honesty. With such transparent simplicity as his, It would be difficult to suppose him capable of draw Ingconeclously at least upon his fancy. Doctor Miranda suggested that he merely dreamed what he afterwards took to be reality. But the others, discrediting this theory, were apparently Inclined to accept the story so far as It went, In spite of Its fan tastlo and well nigh Incredible features. Raoul Arthur appeared particularly Im pressed and proposed' Immediate action. "I know the cleft In the rock," be said. "I have been over a small part of the passage to which it gives entrance. It was there, three years ago. In our attempt to under mine Lake Guatavlta, that a charge of dyna-' mite exploded, after which David Meudon disappeared. I had no Idea that this passage extended back into the mountain as far as It does, according to Mr. Parmelee's story. But now it strikes me. Mr. Lelghto, that chance has given us the clew you were seek ing last nignu i yuu are bum umuo ... trace David's whereabouts, the path lies down the passage entered by Mr. Parmelee and his togaed, sandaled guide," "You want to explore It?" demanded I-elghton. "I do." "But why. If It was already known to you, have you not done this before?" "The natives have always fought shy of going "lto it further than our mining opera tions made necessary. Besides, I never had any reason to suppose that it was more than a mere natural formation of reck as it prob- . . ... . w,nHlnn- n .!., ltu,ania Int.. fnA main body of the mountain," "And now?" "I have no theory to advance. But," he Bdded significantly, "it was In this unex plored tunnel that David disappeared three years ago.'1 NThe reminder had Its rffect.

It might lead nowhere, and In that case the labor nnd the risk If risk there was would be of small account. If, however. It was the entrance to a subterranean dwelling, inhabited by people of whom the strange being described by Andrew was a specimen, the discovery was well worth making. "We will rescue DavIA!" exclaimed Una, the eagerness ot hope In her voice. "But, my young lady," protested Miranda; "he go away many mile from this tunnel." "That Is true." assented l.elghton "All the same, David was lost there be fore," Itanul leinlnded him. "It Is a clew we are bound to follow" Tin- question tenialned, how carry out the proposed etp'orntlon'' ISqulpped with miners' lamps, a number of which, of the best pat tern, were still among the stores David and Itaoul had brought to Colomhla at the beKin nlng of their venture, the worst difficulty darkness could easily be overcome. Fire arms, a hupplv of provisions, and oil for the lamps, vvete other Items obviously needed Hut the essential thing was, as Doctor Miran da tersely put It, "brains" a cool-headed leader who would bring them back to the entrance of the tunnel In case of danger General Herran, with his military training nnd experience, was the man for this role This hero of unfought battles was thereupon chosen captain of the expedition not, how ever, without some modest disclaimers of ability on his part. "There will be five of us then," remarked I-elghton. "General Herran, Doctor Miranda, Aithur, Parmelee and mvself." "There will be six," amended I'na "Six?" "1 will be one of the party." "Preposterous' You might as well make it seven, and Include Mrs. Quavle." "I wouldn't think of going," declared that ladv quivering with agitation. "It Is not for the w omens," argued Miranda, In his most conciliatory manner, "There may be troubles, and we want only the mens" I'na turned on him .fiercely. "I don't believe there Is. any danger," she cried; 'hut, an way. I am going I am cer tain David Is there I will go'" To all of which Miranda gave an un tinnslatnhlr exclamation denoting sympathy, admiration for the pluck of this unexpected volunteer l.elghton. however was less lastly moved, and It was not until his niece assured him that -be would return if the expedition promised to be a dangerous one. that he consented to her passionate ple.u CHAPTER XII A Dead IT'aL MHS. Ql'AYI.K objected to being parted from Una She objected vigorously vigorously, at Past, as compared to hei usual mnnner of taking things. She, complained that guarding Hie baggage in a strange coun try, where It was Impossible to make Jven her simplest wants Intelligible, was not the sort of thing she was theie for But she could not turn Una from her purpose ; nor was It any easier, once his consent was given, to move Ilghton to a reconsidera tion of the matter Only one thing was left for her to" do. If she wished to keep within reach of Una she would have to accompany her on the expedition "the picnic," as Leigh ton grimly called It. She hated to do this, hut, as solicitude for Una was stronger than concern for lief own safety, she had ended by tremblingly begging to bq of tho party. "Let her conic," said Miranda derisively. "It will not be for long time" So Mrs Quajle. much as she hated adven tures, got what she wanted. Karly next morning, mounted on mules and carrjing their supply of provisions neatly packed In hampers, they reached Lake Gua tavlta. Judging by appearances, one would say that they were after nothing more serious than a day's outing. The air was crisp and sparkling, of that crjstal clearness pecu liar to Andean altitudes. The lake laughed In the sunlight; whatever there was of gloomy legend connected with It slumbered beneath, ItB silvery surface Kven the timor ous felt the joy of the place and Indulged In hopes, of high adventure. Miranda was in the best of humor; l.elghton, although main taining his reserve, relaxed something of his usual severity; while the rest of the party was In high spirits, showing scarcely anything of the mental and physical strain to which they had been subjected during the last twenty-four hours. Only Una appeared anxious. Itaoul Arthur, the more she saw of him, dis quieted her. She disliked him Intensely, she could not tell exactly why. He was assiduous in his regard for her comfort, but, In spite of his outward friendliness, she was haunted by certain hints that had come to her from David, hints that made of Baoul, In some In explicable way, an active enemy to the man she loved. She wbb suspicious of him. His presence on the expedition that had David rescue for Its purpose made her twist every thing he did into something treacherous, of danger to all of them. Her uncle, apparently, did not share her feeling. On the contrary, he seemed to rely more and more on Itaoul for advice and direction In carrying out the project upon which he was engaged, und thus there grew up between the two men a con fidence that Una, had she tried, would have been unable to shake. Andrew, of course, still smarting front the experience of two days before, could not be expected to make so speedy a, return to the scene of his adventure without some trepi dation. But whatever sensations thrilled his sus ceptible heart, he put on a brave front and did not flinch from the part he was ex pected to take In the expedition.

But his knowiedgo of the placo was less than Ilaoul's. "It was through this opening to Mr. Parme lee' tunnel that we entered upon the exca vation by which we hoped to drain the lake three years ago," he remarked. From an engineering point of view the atfttcment was mystlfylnr because the open ing of the tunnel was almost on a level with the surface of the lake. Thus, It was dim cult to sec what would have been gained had the waters of the latter been diverted Into the tunnel. It was explained, however, that an Intersecting tunnel nt a very much lower level furnished the deslied outlet, and the miners had planned to connect with this. As Lcighton and the rest were not concerned In these bgone matters, the abortive at tempts of the mining company to use this subterranean passage In the mountain was not traced out In detnll. Time wns urgent; there was no telling how long they might bo In the tunnel. If they wanted to avoid making a night of It they would have to hurry. Unloading the mules, therefore, of their provisions, nnd leaving these melancholy animals In the care of two peons who had come with them from Bogota, the plr nlckers equipped themselves for their ad ventures that Is, they fastened the miners' lamps to their hats In the case of the men thin wns not difficult. But Mrs. Qunyle's extraordinary headgear, architecturally de ceptive and Insecure, proved so hopelessly difficult that Its estimable owner wns forced to do without the adornment of tin nnd kerosene provided for her. The more stable bit of millinery worn by Una was tractable enough, and with her lamp attached firmly fo her gray felt hat she looked the part she expected to play.

(l'riw'1, made till i.url invisible bv leaves jram the Gollvhrtu Shrub, goes in L'urope u-ith (leneial Swallow and takes pari in an air battle.) CHAPTER IV I'fftfty Makes a Capture WH1LK General Swallow was blinding the German aviator so that he shot down one of his own comrndes and was himself forced to land. Teddv Hose, the American, was having a terrific fight with the five Hun machines that were left. Teddy was brave enough ann never thought of turning tall, but he didn't havo a chance agnlnst so many foes It was plain to Peggy, circling about In her tov nlrplane, that he wan simply try ing to Bell his life ns dearly as possible and brlnif down as many enemy machines a he tould before being overwhelmed himself The battle didn't seem a bit fair to Peggy Indeed, she was so Indignant that slu! forgot to be scaled, nnd in n moment she found heiself darting Into the finy as impetu ously ns General Swallow had done. One particularly daring German seemed to he leading the attack. Instinctively Peggy named him "The Hawk." The other Gel man machines kept Teddy busy, while the Hawk tried to get into a position vhere he could shoot him down Teddy did some wonderful sky acrobatics, dodging, sliding awny on one wing, diving, somersaulting, tnllsplnnlng, nnd scootl'ig upward, but th German dung close to him, s.nd the Hawk was slowlv but surely wearing him out. Peggy made straight for the Hawk. Her swift airplane darted up behind him She couldn't attack as General Swallow had done, because her propeller would be smashed ut the first blow ami then she would be help less. Shutting off her nlrplane, she diopped Into the cockpit of the German machine. As she was Invisible, of '"course the Hawk i'ou,dn't see her. He was intent upon the liisjjo and using every trick he knew to get where he could sand the finishing"1 shot Into Teddy. A great pistol stuck out of a holster that hung from the Hawk's belt "If I only had that I could end this fight," thought Pegg.v But she was too tiny. Then them popped Into her mind what General Swallow had said about-the Gollckety shrub. If she repeated the verse It would make her cither short or tall Now she wanted to be her usual size. "Golickety tall Gollckety fnst ' Oh, when It comes fitlj, whs summer Is past!" Quickly she repented the nonsensical verse, PHILADELPHIA'S l.KADINd T!l'"itK3 Direction I.EF, & J. J. SHUHCHT Sam S.
