A tfST GOSSIP ABOUT PEOPLE .
Big Benefit War Horse Shdiv Opens Today in Bryn Mmor.
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.

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.

CHAPTER' XI Continued
44T HESITATED nhout following this un
1 known man Into so strange n place," con
tinued Andrew, "but hit manner was so per
fertlv courteous nnd friendly and then I
thought that behind all this mystery ""
might be something to help us find Mr
Metidon that 1 made up my mind to Keep
with him as long as polble. 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. This Unking

HORSE SHOW
In spite of Miranda's derisive comments on
the schoolmaster's "fairy tale," there seemed
to be only one thing to do explore the tun
nel. 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. There was
that dreadful lake, there the wall of rock
he had described, and there the Incon

spicuous opening to the tunnel from whose
hidden dangers he had been so mysteriously
rescued he faced It all and braced lihnself
for the Inevitable explanations. 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.

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,
