Nancy Wynne Tells of Crowds at War Horse Show Numbers
of Persons Still at Seashore A Peach
Stone Episode
IT SEEMED ns It every one wanted to
malte up for the bail weather on Friday
by (joins Saturday, ami to say there were
mnny people at tho Horse Show wduld bo
putting it mildly.
Tho world and his wife were there, and
there were lots of other people's wives,
too, and some husbands. Altogether, It
was a brilliant Bight.
The lfftlo Willing girl and Emily SlnUlor
and several other children, dressed as little
gypsies, were too cute for anything In
tholr donkey wagon, which they drove
around selling peanuts to the crowds from
baskets on tho cart.
Mrs. Altemus had a group of "orange
ades," as she called them. They are tho
Falls of Schuylkill branch of the Emer
gency Aid Aides, an;t they wear blue
suits with yellow cloth collars nnd cuffs
and small dark-blue service hats. All of
the suburban branches of tho E. A. A.'s
wear blue and yellow. Mrs. Altemus dub
bed tho girls "orangeades" herself, and It
seemed good to me. Dgn't 'ou think so?
TkEIlE havo been a numoer of people
down at Bay Head this season, and
many of them are still staying on. Tho
Henry Pratt McKean have a cottage
there, and tho Houston Dunns. Speaking
of tho Houston Dunns reminds me of tho
death of Mrs. Dunn's uncle, Mr. Taylor,
last week. Mrs. Dunn was Elsie Taylor,
you remember, a sister of Mrs. John Wil
cox, who lives at 711 Pino street. Usually
the Dunns spend the summer at Bristol,
but this year they went to Bay Head.
They hnvo sovcral of tho dearest children.
Mr. Taylor was a wonderful old man and
will be greatly missed. '
THE Yardleys, Manns and Franklin
Bakers aro also at Bay Head, and tho
Leopold Seyfferts spent the week-end at
tho resort. Havo you ever been down
there? It's a perfect spot In summertime.
Small, but so much to do, on account of
the wldo Inlet bay for the sailing nnd
motor boating, which Is tho rage there.
Then another diversion is the beach
parties. They aro simply great! You get
about thirty people together and you get
somebody's car and you run them down
about two miles over the sand dunes, ten
at a time, Including a water cooler, from
which you usually lose all the water before
you get there. Then you carry much
bacon, oh! much bacon, which you cook
on a wood flro and drop in the sand and
eat when It's full of said sand. You also
bring milk and cofteo and other bev
erages In thermos bottles, and sandwiches
made of war bread; and you run races in
the sand and havo tho time of your life.
For you forget that time has changed and
you are no longer sixteen, and you act like
a flapper and forget to be dignified. It
really Is great fun.
E
LIZABETH CLAY nnd Dorothy Bullitt,
tho Roberts twins, did a wonderful
business in Bay Head this summer. They
started a wool shop thero last year, you
know, and would you believo It? They
had so much to do, they had to get Kath
erlne Xewbold to come down and help. I
think It's splendid. And It you could see
the lovely thing3 they make! They are
awfully pretty!
Dorothy has threo of the darllngest little
girls Dorothy Frothlngham, Maria and
Mary. And you should hear little Dotty
speak French.
OF COURSE, we are all doing every
thing we can to help the Red Cross!
And it's simply wonderful how the peach
stones, for Instance, accumulate. Why, at
the Independence Squa'ro auxiliary they
have taken In flvo barrels full already!
And various workers at the auxiliaries
have even gono so far as to put barrels or
boxes out in front of their own doors for
peach Atones. They are great reminders,
you know.
One day last week I went to call on a
friend, who is Immensely Interested In col
lecting tho stones. She has even gone so
far as to put a box on the steps of her
porch, and a3 she lives in the partially
"built-up" part of Chestnut Hill, she has
collected a nujnber from her friends, nnd
neighbors. She has a cousin, who has
recently told her of her engagement, and
sho was telling me about It and said: "I
have not met the man yet, but I under
stand he is very attractive. Ho has a
limousine, and Helen told mother they
would come out soon to see her nnd then
ho would take her riding In the car."
"That's very nice," said I, and wo talked
on on other subjects.
About ten minutes later a smart-looking
limousine drove up to tho entrance to the
place and the chauffeur got down and came
toward the gate. My friend exclaimed,
"That must be his car now." And wo set
tled ourselves to wait for the chauffeur
to ring tho bell and ask for aomc one, when,
to our lnllnlte amusement, the chauffeur
walked to the box on the step, and taking
a small packet from his pocket, opened it
nnd dropped from It about eight peach
stones Into tho box. feeing us on the
porch,-he removed his cap respectfully and
then walked back and started off in tho
car.
It was a wonder that our laughter was
not heard in the next block. I'll never for
get It as long as I live.

5000 TONS OF CLOTHES
ASKED TO AID BELGIANS
Red Cross Starts Work to Protect
Destitute Through Com
ing Winter
The American Bed Cross Society today
began a nation-wide campaign to collect 6000
tons of clothing to protect 10,000,000 desti
tute Belgian men, women and children
against the rigors of the approaching winter.
It Is the hope of Red Cross workers to fill
the order In seven days.
All sorts of garments will ho accepted, no
matter what size or whether for man. woman
or child. The only requirements are that
tho materials be strong and suitable fir pro
tection agnlnst the cold. Fancy dresses, high
hats, straw hats, derbies and silk nnd satin
dancing slippers will not be accepted,
Tho Belgians are facing a desperate need
of clothing. Anparel cannot bo bought and
some of the Inhabitants, of the stricken coun
try are wearing garments of flour sacks and
burlap nnd shoes made of carpet. Blankets,
sheets, tablecloths, which have been used for
clothes, can no longer be had.
A letter has been received by the Red
Cross from a Belgian woman which conveys
some idea of the destitution that Is the lot
of all classes:
. "Perhaps you will laugh when you hear
that I wear a cloak made from my husband's
gardo clviquo overcoat, a waist from his
football shirt nnd a skirt mado of a dyed
bed sheet. Mother has a suit made of the
tablecloth; J. and M. have cloaks made of
woolen blankets and S. a dress made of
burlap. But all this Is only amusing in com
parison with the wretchedness of the popula
tion. After all, we remain calm nnd confi
dent of victory."

CHAPTER XIII (Coiuiniiotl)
MIRANDA'S voice shrilled with excitement.
IIo was elated with' the Importance of
his discovery. And it was Important. The spot
they had chosen for their lunch was the
furthest point they had reached in their ex
plorations, the point where Miranda had
turned back to take Mrs. Qu.iyle nut of the
cavo ami where they had last seen Raoul
Arthur. It was marked by a huge pyramidal
rock rising from thu Moor of tho cine. Along
one side of this rock the path they had fol
lowed went on indefinitely, In a gradual up
ward Incline. It was to the other side that
Miranda eagerly called attention. Placing
his bottle of claret down on the roek beside
him, he got on his knees and, with his none
almost touching the ground, nude a minute
study of the floor of the cave.
F.ven Andrew felt tho contagion of the
doctor's excitement. Fruits, hollos, cassavas
were abandoned pell mell as one and all
.scrambled to their feet, eager to find out
what new puzzle Miranda had managed to
pick up The light from their lamps cast
huge, uncertain shadows .on the Irregular
matses of rock that everywhere blocked the
v cw At first there was nothing to be seen
that differed essentially from what they had

"Perhaps," agreed Miranda
Where could ho have gone-" asked l,,a.

"We will see."
a matter of fact, the two paths start-mi-
together at the central rock and going
hence m the same general di.ection grad
a llv diverged from each other, much as do
?h two lines that form the letter V. Then
inothJ? difference was noticeable Tho first
path followed a comparatively uniform level;
ho second dipped steadily downward. This

This was partly due to his Ig-

Ae-nce. of Kngllsh, partly to a sense of re
n Klblllty that he felt as a citizen of Bo
S1o?a whose duty It was to guide a party of
feigners safely through one of the dlt.lcult
regUns of his native land. But now, at last,
r had something to say. something that was
SSe , from him as their leader. Tugging at
h"s beard In characteristic fashion, he gave
the result of his, observations In tere Span-
ish.
"At first we go away from the lake. Then
we come back to It. Just a little. Then we
go away. Now this path take us right there
aB"Tliat la It," agreed Miranda.
It sounded rather mixed up, and no one
rcild much attention to It. Hut at least it
nut Oencral Herran In a better humor.
"Perhaps this will take us out of the cave,"
uiiKested Andrew. 'The path Is nearly In
the right direction."-
I hope it means water, anyway,1

SPECTATOR
v ,
They gathered up what was left of their
provisions and set off again, single file, down
tho new path, (leneral Herran In the lead,
Andrew bringing up the rear. They had not
gone many yards before they noticed tho
marked dlffeience In the two paths. At first
the change In level was scarcely perceptible;
but now the descent became more and more
abrupt, and ns there was less sand nnd
gravel for a foothold they found the smooth
surface of the locks, tilted often at a sharp
angle, anything but easy going. Another
peculiarity that soon caught their attention
was the letsenlng height of the cave's roof.
I'ntil now this ioof had been so far above
them that tlK-y had to throw their heads way
back to see it, and even tin n It appeared
In only vnguo outlines Now it took a down
ward curve that brought It nrnicr and neater
to them. Following tile same descending
sweep It was e Ident that floor and roof
would slim fly come together and the con
tines, at least of that portion of the cae,
would bo leached
Along with this new archltec.ural feature
In tho structure of the cai there was a
noticeable change ill Hie character of the
rock forming it.
Walls and floor had, until now, been sharp
and Jagced In contour, dull, almost black. In
color. Hut the unevenness of surface was
disappearing. The rocks were smoother, as
If Morn and rounded by constant rubbing.
Vivid lolors gleamed from wall and column
with a pristine freshness suggesting that this
part of tho cave belonged to a far moro
distant period than tho great rock chamber
111 which they had stopped to take their
luncheon. Finally, they were surrounded at
every hand by those spear-Uke formations,
thrust upward from tho floor or depending
from thn roof, that give to the Interiors of
most caes their fantastic appearance the
stalactites and stalagmites about, whose ori
gin in the workshop of Nature there can be
no doubt
This change had an Invigorating effect
upon the t xplorers. Passing from the unie
lleved gloom of the first cavern Into this
fairy-built grotto, with Its bright hues and
pleasing shapes, they began to forget their
fears and folt Instead something like tho
real enjoyment that belongs to unexpected
adventure. Kverythlng In the way of glo
rious surprise seemed possible. For one thing,
.Miranda's confident prediction was apparent
ly about to be realized, a probability that
the doctor celebrated by alternate chuckles
and grunts of satisfaction.
"If we don't find water, there Is at least
no doubt that water has once been here," de
rlartd Lelghton. "These stalactites mako
that certain."
"You will see- -you will see." persisted
Miranda. "It is the Lake Cuatavita."
'Ilow can that be?" aigued Lelghton. "Xo
opening of the lake into this cavo has ever
been discovered"
"You will sue."
One might almost imagine that the In
tricacies of the caw were as familiar to the
doctor as the formula for his celeb, nted pills.
Hut his confident attitude was only one part
genuine to three parts bravado. He enjoyed
opposing a scientist showing such supreme
self-possession as Lelghton, and he delighted
In startling statements of fact that merely
bewildered his hearers. Hut he was by no
means sure In his own mind of the truth,
or even tho probability, of the theory he was
advancing. General Herran, however, who
had heard ns far b.ick as he could remember
the strange tales of mvbtcry iegnrdlng Lake
Cluntavlta, and had often speculated with
other Hogotanos on the disappearance be
neath its waters of the fabulous wealth of
the ancient Chlbclms, was keenly alive to the
possibilities lying before them, now that they
were on the very spot haunted by so many
fascinating traditions of his race. Like'most
natives ot Bogota, the Spanish blood In his
veins was mixed with the blood of the Chlb
chas and It was an Infusion he was proud
to own. Hence, he readily believed that at
any moment they would stumble upon a per
fect mountain of treasure, all the lost gold
and emeralds that Spanish romances had
dreamed about and travelers of tho old heroic
times had ilsked their lives for.
They had now reached the end of flm
precipitous Incline down which the path had
led them, thankful to exchange the slipping
and sliding, to which tho tilted rocks had
treatod them, for the firm footing offered by
n, comparatively level floor.
Here the roof hung only a. tew feet above
their heads, whence it curved downward,
glistening with the delicate fretwork that the

subterranean torrents of bygone ages, had
carved upon It, until It became a part of the
rock-strewn ground beneath. The chamber
thus formed became n long, spacious corri
dor, one side of which was open to the vast
amphitheater they had Just left, the other
sldo stoutly hemmed In by a maze of stalac
tites nnd stalagmites looming up as sen
tinels In front of a wall that could be dimly
seen behind them. Down the mlddlo of this
corridor lay the path they had been follow
ing, wider now and showing the Imprint of
many sandaled feet. Heforo them, at the end
of the corridor, they could distinguish the
outlines of another wall, apparently marking
tho limit of this portion of the cave.
"There Is your lake," said Lelghton Iron
ically to Miranda, who shiugged his shoulders
In reply.
"At any late, Fnele Harold." said Una
reproachfully, "there mut be an opening
here. And tile air Is Just heavenly! Instead
of walking, one could dance.''
The otheis appeared to feel the truth of
1 'tin's ntiKcrvntlun, for they moved along with
a briskness, a snap, they had not shown be
fore. This was particularly noticeable in
Mrs. Quayle, who seemed to be propelled by
somi! Inner gayety of spirit that quite
changed hi r usually sedate manner and ap
pearance. The transformation was not lost
on I'na, who was both amused and puzzled
by It.
"Look at .Mrs. Quayle's jewelry I" she ex
claimed. "It is dancing nbout as If It were
moved by a breeze from somewhere."
"What do you mean? I can't feel any
breeze." declared Lelghton "The singular
tlnttetlng or Mrs. Quayle's Jewelry simply
means, I suppose, that the wearer is, as
usual, agitated "

CHAPTER I
Fun on a Frolic
"In the autumn days so hazy
Stiaitgc It Is that you feel lazy
O'er the hills comes Fun nleaplug,
This Is no timo to be sleeping."
PHtitlY had closed her eyes for a moment
as she basked It, the soft afternoon pun
shine. Now she popped them open In n hurry.
Looking down nt her through big dark gog
gles was Judge Owl, perched In a tree above
her head. About him were thp folks of Bird
land w ho had not yet started on their yearly
trip to the South. On the face of every one
was a tensing grin.
"O charming Peggy, when you snooze
Your picture fair we wouldn't lose.
But time Is rushing on apace,
We bid you Join our merry race."
So sang all the Birds. Peggy felt vexed
that they had caught her napping, but they
were so happy over their little Joke on her
that she ."illicitly found herself grinning back
at them.
"It wasn't really a snooze. Just a nod," she
answered. "But I'm wideawake now nnd
ready to meet Fun half way. Whero Is he?"
"O'er tho hill he comes aleaplng!" quoted
Judge Owl, pointing with his wing to tho
heights behind them.
Suro enough there was a fantastic figure
' lancing and cavorting on the grassy hillside.
He was garbed in a queer coat made of cat
tall reeds. On his head was a crown of
colored leaves, and back from his shoulders
streamed a ragged cloak of wlldgrape vines.
"Is that Fun?" asked Peggy, surprised
and nved.
"Dotsn't It look like Fun?" hooted Judge
Owl, and all the Birds chuckled.
The oddly dressed figure danced down the
hill toward them and tho Birdj danced a
Looking down at her through big dark
goggles was Judge Owl
greeting. Peggy found herself dr.nclng, too,
and she wasn't a bit surprised when Fun
capered up, seized her by the hand, and led
her Into a mad, Jolly frolic, that didn't end
until she sank down panting.
"Wasn't that fun?" laughed Fun at her.
