Tjfancy llynne Comments on ttc Death of Major Pepper Lieu tenant Yarrow Home on Leave Captain Mather Unhurt The Commuter's Trials ' IT IS with real regret thai I record- tho death In Franco of Benjamin Frr.nkltn Pepper. Ho was a major, you know, nnd went over with Iho Baltimore drafted men from Camp Meade. He was n son of tho lato Dr. "William Pepper, and his mother who was MUs Frances Perry died a few months ngo. His Wife was Rebecca Will ing and with their children they lived most. of therrmarrled llfo In Chestnut Hill. Mrs. Pepper Is a remarkably (beautlful woman. Thoy had threo children 'l think, Franklin Jr. Willing and Anne. Major Pepper was a brother of Dr. William Popper, whoso wife, tho former Mary Godfrey, died after a long 'illness Just about two weeks ago. Doth William Pepper and a second brother Oliver H. P.

He was a lawyer a member of the same nrm In which his cousin George Wharton Popper Is a senior. He died very bravely leading his battalion In tho St. Mlhlel sector on Sept. 26. My Bympalhy certainly goes out to the young wife, who has so bravely "carried on" In her husband's absence and who I have no doubt will continue to ''carry on" for his sake as welt as for ho sake of their three lovely children. BILLIE YARROW, who has recently re ceived nomotlon (he Is a lieutenant, you know) was home last week on leave from Camp Jackson. Ho and his wife spent tho early part of the week In New York, for Mrs. Yarrow was working there on tho Liberty Loan drive under Miss Rob-lnson-Smlth. Blllle has been put In charge of a largo camouflage school at Camp Jackson and was obliged to return to camp yesterday. He looks awfully well and seems to be enjoying his soldier's life ex tremely. IT'S remarkable how false ieports spread nhmit In It not? When vou hear one thing It's so apt to be added lo before you hear It the second time. This was evi dently the caso In the report about Captain Victor Charles Mather, the husband of Catherine Earle. You remember when we ' first heard of Edith Earlo Lee's death and then of Frances Beggs' Illness, news flashed around that Victor Mather had been Injured In a motor accldert. Well, It's not true. I have that lat. from Mr. Mather, Victor's father. le was In a motor, running at night without lights and his car crushed between two 'trucks, but he escaped Injury. So thnt Is one bit of news that is heartening, after all the disasters ard sorrows in the Earle family. I HEAR that Mrs. George Fales Baker who was expected home this week from the Adlrondacks, .has chosen tho bettjr part of valor and decided to stay, safely up there until this epidemic Is over. And speaking' of the epidemic, I know you will be, as sorry as I was to he.-.r of the death of Mr. Randolph Barksdale Heyward In Buffalo, of pneumonia follov.ing Influenza. He was the husband of Matilda Sartorl, you know, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sartorl of Germantown. Anna Sartorl Is n member of the Junior service corps, and Is working awfully hard all the time at vari ous kinds of war work. IT CERTAINLY Is hard to get" used to getting up early enough In the morn ing to straighten up your room before you . take the train Into town to work all day at tho Red Cross or Emergency Aid or some other kind of war work. I know of a wonderful worker who has been going Into town every day since last' year to spend the wl'ole day at It, and she never can get used to catching that early train. The other morning she was "fooling around" after breakfast, and suddenly de cided that it was time to start for the station, she doesn't llvo far away. So she went downstairs quietly, reached the porch, and heard tho train. She omitted the steps down to the street talcing the bank at one leap, and started up a short cut through a field. The train snorted with delight at the Joy of racing with her, and reached the edge of the platform, Just as Bhe made an extra effort and fell flat, knocking off her carefully placed hat and otherwise dis arranging herself. She got up, undaunted, and proceeded on her way to find a smil ing brakeman waiting with his watch In his hand. She was so fussed that Instead of dropping down In the first Beat Bhe came to, she marched the whole length of the train. looking down at her skirt she found It pulled all out of shape and stuck tight together with burrs, and she started to pick them off. As the train reached Broad street, srie happened to glance across the aisle atid there was a neighbor engaged In the same Industry, he also having taken the short cut. They laughed together about it, and hearing an echoing chuckle from , behind them, turned round and discovered ettll another commuter from the same street. Industriously freeing his overcoat of burrs. So they Joined forces and walked through the station together proclaiming to all the world that they were suburban ites and "proud of It, too." , NANCY WYNNE. I Social Activities Mr, and Mrs. J.

STATE'S CROP OF APPLES RUN ABOVE ESTIMATE Market Report Urges Use of Less Fancy Brands to Secure Harvest The United States food administration for Pennsylvania, In co-operation with the State Bureau of Markets, sends out the fol lowing forecast about supplies of fruits and vegetables for the present week: The potato, celery, cabbage,-'apple and grape harvests, continue In full force. The bulk of these products will not be marketed Immediately, but will be stored away for winter use. The late apple crop in'the west ern and central apple sections of the State Is much better than was expected. Much of this fruit will waste In the orchards unless there Is more demand for other than strictly fancy fruit. Poor color or a few ,skln blemishes do not lessen the food value of the fruit. The cool nights even though not accom panied by frosts are retarding the develop ment of the later fall crops. The movement to market of all perishable vegetable will be noticeably lighter from now on. Pittsburgh and nearby markets will have the last of the late varieties of lima and string beans In addition to a good supply of cabbage, celery, peppers, squash, tomatoes, pumpkins, potatoes and other root crops. Southeastern Pennsylvania markets are receiving good quantities of the late string beans, sweet corn, eggplants, tomatoes, car rots, beets, onions, sweet potatoes and .turnips. The curb markets of Philadelphia will open at 7:30 In the morning Instead of 6:10 beginning next Tuesday, and will remain open until 1 p. m. The order Is effective for every day of the week except Saturday when the market will remain open until S p, in. This change Is due to the fact that during the month of October the wholesale markets were expected to open at 7 a. m., but pending the action of the fuel administration this did not go Into effect. Therefore, It wll be necessary to advance the opening hour of the curb' markets one hour, The present time for opening Is 6:30 a. m. Due notice of any chance In the hours of opening and cl6lngwUl t given. j 1 ijitfMi4"g' ' ' " ' " A STUDENT NURSE .LgggggH B .flggggggRgifi iiitf?.

New York. CHAPTER XVIII (Continued) INVOLUNTARILY the two women looked at each other. David, standing between them calmer than before, remained silent, un conscious of the effect of his words. "You must explain wltnt you mcan,",SaJI pona said to him firmly, after n moment of Irresolution. Aroused rom his revery, he looked In per plexity from one to the other. Then his brow cleared nnd he lpughcd Boftly. "Oh, yes! You sec Una SaJIpona Is very beautiful; and she Is Just ns good ns she Is beautiful. I owe her everything. When I am .completely myself again, as l said, she has- promised You see, I have told her that I " . , ' ., . The wdrds died away as he looked at Una. Her face showed neither anxiety nor surprise, but a deep tenderness and melancholy. At the sight of her he seemed to lose the thread of what he had to say. He was mystified, pitiably torn between the struggles of a mem ory that remained tongucless, nnd the reali ties of n situation that seemed, somehow, pe culiarly unrenl. Wistfully he held out his hand to tho girl whose beauty thus moved him. then hastily withdrew It, turning ns he did so to Shjipona. "Your song was very soothing, my queen," he said ruefully. "I fear I am not quite my self as yet. Something Is wrong something new: This lady Una you will forgive "Try to remember," she Bald earnestly, "there's nothing to forgive." "There's nothing to remember, he saw disconsolately. "I have trled-but I begin to think it's all a mistake." He turned abruptly. lea Ing them to go to the room whence he had come a moment be fore. As ho reached the open window ho paused Irresolutely. "You will not go?" he said, his eyes meet ing Una's. "David 1" was all her answer. He shook his head mournfully, heBltated, then Blowly passed Into the darkened cham ber beyond. The two women regarded each other In si lence. In SaJIponn's glance there was proud defiance; with Una anxiety had changed to determination. The wordless duel of emo tions was Interrupted by Narva, who, until now; had remained In the background. Upon Dald's withdrawal the old sibyl hook off her reserve and addressed herself reverently SaJIpona. , "His old enemy Is here." she announced; "there Is danger." Xana'a news did not bring the alarm thnt any one would have supposed It would bring. Instead SaJIpona's look of anxiety vanished. A flash of anger gleamed In her eyes. Then Bhe smiled with an eager air of triumph, grasping the old Indian's arm as If urging her to say more. "You mean the American. Raoul Arthur?" ,he asked. "Is he heroT I want him. I have waited for him. But. I didn't see him. Are you sure that he Is here?" Narva shrugged her shoulders. "He comes for no good." she said. "At last he finds the way from Guatavlta. He seeks treasure. With him are traitors to the Land of the Condor. Ho fought Anltoo. He conquered him He Is on his way to the palace. I heard him with his men on the Iron path. They are many. "Defend yourself, SaJIpona I We have very little time." The'appeal was received exultantly. From Una, however, there came a cry of dismay. "If there Is danger," she exclaimed, "what will become of my uncle and the others?" Narva chuckled to herself. "There Is no danger to them," she said. "The fat man will have trouble to run. and the old woman will die because she Is always 'afraid." Her grim humor fell on unappreclatlve ears. At SaJIpona's rebuke Bhe lapsed again Into silence, first giving a grudging explana tion of what she had done with the party of exolorers. The latter, it appeared, were virtually prisoners where Narva and Una left them. There they must remain, unless they were discovered by tho hostile band that wai believed to have Invaded the cave. In which case their release would mean cap ture by Raoul and his .men. The possible consequences of this Increased Una's alarm, and at SaJIpona's command Narva grum bllnaly set forth to effect their rescue. As success depended on her speed, Una was nrevented from returning with her. She was hus left nlone with SaJIpona, whose plans rerardlng David now absorbed her attention. Mere however, she encountered a reserve which she could not break. Kvery attempt .V..aln Information was repelled, and In a manner Intimating that Una's Interest In navld was unwarranted by any previous rri.nriahln between them. "He does not know you." exclaimed SaJI nona exultantly, but with a note of uneasl Emm that was not tost on the other. Una. concerned for David's safety, Ignored the unspoken challenge. What Is to become of him? Why Is he here?" she demanded. "What is that to you?" was the fierce re tort "He doesn't know even your name. He is happy. He depends on me." "That may be But there Is a mystery. Tell me what H U means. If be Is happy, If ;.-,'? ..'' v "'wlif - MOmp, OCTOBEB U, ' r. - " M,'$ i ' ; ;' p.,.,.,1; ,. i ' there Is nothing more to bo said or done, I ..'v0, nI' tell me." lou will not go not until there Is no longer a mystery, ns you call It." The announcement Founded llko tho sen tence of a Judge from which there Is no np Penl, It reminded Una that sho wns In tho power of one who had shown toward her nn Inflexible will. At the same time sho was conscious of ia softening In SaJIpona's attitude that was both mystifying nnd reas suring. This beautiful Indian girl had at first resented Una's presence. She had re garded the other with queenly scorn, and had not disguised tho Jealous impsttence kindled by the brief nnd f utile Interview with David. Now this Impatlcnco had given place to a deeper emotion that was less easily understood. It might bo of kindlier Import, an unexpected relenting from tho harsh mood thnt apparently weighed Una's every word and act with suspicion. Still, It was possible that benenth this newly awaken ed generosity thero lurked something sinis ter, a deliberate purpose to lead the other to a confession that would be her own undo ing. 'Of this, however. Una had little fear. By nature trustful of those about her, sho did not look for harm to herself from one so young, bo beautiful, and who now at any rate, appeared anxious to atone for her for mer enmity by a graclousness equally marked. "Thero Is nothing to fear," said SaJIpona, as If reading her thoughts. "Narva will pro tect your people. There Is danger only from jour friend, this Raoul Arthur -" "He Is not my friend 1" exclaimed Una. SaJIpona smiled. "We will soon see," sho paid. "This Is tho Land of tho Condor, all thnt Is left to nn nnclent race that onco ruled over many nations. For centuries, the poor remaining handful of my people haveman nged to live unknown In this little corner of the earth You are the first except one pther from tho outside world to find jour way Into this forgotten kingdom. When you will be free to return to tho outer world Is not for me to sny. But, you are here my guest. Let us have It that way. This Is my kingdom, Enter!" They did not pass into the palace through the entrance used by David. Back of whora they stood, at n word of command from SaJIpona. a large door swing open, reveal ing a spacious court within flooded with a clear white light that left not a corner or angle In shadow. This light radiated from a central shaft overhead, at first Indistin guishable in the dazzling Intricacies of the celling thnt stretched away in tier upon tier of crystalline columns above them. Advanc ing to the middle of this court under the queen's guidance, Una beheld, at tho apex of the vast dome curving upward to a seem ingly Immeasurable distance, a lafge open ing beyond which blazed a great ball of fire suspvned, apparently, from the topmost pin nacle of the outer cave. The rays from this underground sun for It Is only as a sun that It can be adequately described shone with an Intensity that wns fairly blinding. Theso rays flashed and sparkled in long, waving streamers of flame, disappearing and sudden. ly renewing their radiance with a ceaseless energy similar to that displayed by eomo gigantic dynamo whose emanations are pro duced by a concentration of power as jet unattemptcd by man. Fascinated by this splendor, Una realized that sho was standing beneath the great luminous body whose, magical effects she had first witnessed while approaching tho palace with Narva. Shield, ing her eyes from a spectacle that wearied by its vehemence, she turned to Sajlp'ona. But SaJIpona was not with her. Una stood alone In the center of the great court, (CONTINUED TOMORROW) flrest dmnn1 for the RVKNINH Pimi.IO LKUdl.B mar cauie jou to mlia an Inalsll. ment of tliU vrr lntrrtlnc torr.

WOMEN BEGGED TO AID IN CRISIS OF INFLUENZA Mrs. Martin Urges Them to Show Their Devotion to Country Is Genuine "Look nt this list of women who have taken the first nld training and then look nt this list of the ones who have given their services In this terrible time of the country's need about a dozen. Tho hun dreds of women who nre content to sit back nnd see tho terrible rurferlng going nn al most nt their very doors nre the women who thought they might be of service In France, who had delightful dreams of themselves In the roles of nngeU of mercj, who hnd the unfathomable vanity to Imnglne that they were capable of the great spirit of sacri fice," ' Thus did Mrs. J. Willis Mnrtln, who Is .bending all her energy to recruiting of nurses for tho Influenza panic, express her despair nnd disappointment at the lack of response given to the persistent nppcnls for help In the epidemic. "Nothing seems to rouso them," she con tinued. "1 do not know how to mnkc tho desperate "conditions real to these women, who seem to hnve deaf ears.

"They say Ben and Bill Dalton nre sur rounded by Germans and need our help to save them " This exciting news caused Peggy to hustle "Down! Down! You're right in the path of the shells-' nil the fnster, and soon she was nt the window rtady to go She could only faintly see ltllly, It was so dark. He pressed a pair of Golieketv I.eavts Into her hand, nnd she chewed upon them, nt the same time repeat ing the charm that went with them; "Oollckety small, Gollckcty fast. Oh, when It comes fall, why summer Is past " The effect was that she wns made so small that she easily fitted Into the toy airplane, to which Billy Belgium guided her. "Isn't this n lovelj" new machine," she said, ns she sealed herself, "I call It Speeder," nnswered Billy Belgium proudly. Then he gave directions to It. "France, Speeder !" he said, Jusfns calmly as a banker would saj- to his chauffeur, "Home, James." The airplane rose, there was a bewildering rush, and a blinding glare of light, as thej sped out of the night and across the ocean to meet the dawning daj Peggy closed her ej-es lnvoluntnrllj'. When she opened them n second later It was to find the mm brightly shining nnd the airplane sailing slowlj- among fleecy clouds A henvy pounding roar wns coming loudly from far beneath. "France!" shouted Billy Belgium, pointing downward. "We are right over a big battle." Peggy looked over the edge of the air plane Below the clouds was a beautiful land bathed In the rosy glow of eorly morn ing. At lenst the land seemed beautiful at flr"t glance, but as Peggy's eyes became ac customed to the distance, she saw that It wns nlso n lnnd of destruction, with ruined villages and wrecked buildings In evcrj- direc tion As she looked, the earth seemed splotched with sudden bursts of flame nnd smoke. And as each of these bursts came, some thing that had strtod on the place where It appeared would abruptly vanish, a tree, a house, a barn, a church. With a quick thrill Peggy realized that she was seeing tho work of the big guns. "Whlr-r-r-r-!" zipped something past them, "Squee-ee-ee '" whistled something In the op posite direction. And then there was a regular rapld-flro of "Whir-r-r-r-r's" and "Squee-ec-ee-ee's" all. about them. "Down, down I Get out of this. You're right In the path of tho shells," cried voices, ns two feather bodies plumped down on the nlrplane. Tho added weight tipped the nose of the machine toward the earth and It dove swiftly townrd forest-covered hills far below. As they darted out of the stream of projectiles, Teggy and Billy turned to greet their passengers They weic not In the least surprised to find them Cnrrle and Homer Pigeon, but they were surprised to see how thin nnd exhausted the Pigeons were. They were surprised, too, at the tremendous ex. cltement with which the Birds were quivering, "Fast, fast 1" cried Homer Pigeon. 'The lives of Ben and Bill Dalton depend upon It." (Tomorrow irlH be told what I'cggy and Billy find in the forest.!
