Nancy Wynne Dines at- the Country Club She Tells of Party
at Ritz-Carlton for Miss Randolph and Mr.' Hudson.
Germantoivn Girls Federal Officers
ISN'T It flno tho dinner-dances liavo
started up atraln out at tho Philadel
phia Country Club on Saturday nights?
fV Ileally. you know, slowly but surely a
little of tho gay llfo has begun again since
tho war. It will take time, ot course, and
there will bo very few who will not do real
V , things as woll ns have good times, but tho
good times aro coming closer and closer,
t and It's a good thing, too, don't you think?
"Jack" needs to play now and asaln, a9
Nancy has always said. And Nancy likes
to play, too, Incidentally.
i - Tho Clayton Dlxons gave a party of
twelvo on Saturday night. Sho was Estello
Wllloughby, you know, and has been doing
splendid Red Cross work during tho last
two or throe years. She and her husband
entertained a number of English officers
here during tho last year.
' Tho Beau Thomsons gavo a dinner at the
","0',''club before tho danco and so did tho G.
7 Helde Norrlscs, and the Sidney Masons also
- entertained.
It was like tho good old times dining
and dancing on tho good old club floor. A
weo bird told mo they would start up tho
Saturday dances out at tho Philadelphia
Cricket Club soon. I wonder and very
mdeh hopo they will. They wero stopped
v last year on account of coal shortage.
HANNAH RANDOLPH Is to bo honor
guest at a dinner ot tho Rltz-Carlton
" tonight', given by her sister, Dorothy Fell.
" Sho's to bo married tomorrow afternoon,
you know, down at the Charles Penrose
Keith's House, 321 South 1 ourin w.
Dorothy is going 'to bo tho matron of
honor at tho wedding. I think It's going
to be extremely interesting. All tho ushers
' -with tho exception of Emlen Randolph aro
members of tho British embassy at Wash
lngton. Bob Hudson is ono of tho secre
taries of tho embassy, you know. Tho
little Fell and Stevenson and Dcveroux
kiddles aro to bo In tho bridal party. The
Fells and Stevensons aro Hannah's nieces
and nephews and tho small Dovereux boy
is a nephew of Mrs. Fell, though no rela
tlon to tho brido herself.
' Monslgnor Kioren, of St. Patrick's
Church, Is to perform tho ceremony. Mon
elgnor Kieren, by the way, is to celebrate
his golden Jubllco on December 22. Fifty
years! That's some length 'of time, isn't
It? I had an idea that ho had married
Hannah's mother to Mr. Randolph, but
v thoso of that generation tell mo It was
Archbishop Ryan of happy memory who
performed that ceremony. Mrs. Randolph
has been dead for many years now. It's
going to bo a very pretty wedding tomor
, row I feel sure, and tho quaint old home
J on Fourth street will certainly add to tho
1 artistic effect of tho bridal party. There's
to be quite a good-sized reception after tho
wedding. ,
HAVE you heard about tho Philadelphia
Food Army? Oh, yes, -no havo all kinds
of armies in this town. It's quite a wide
spread thing, and out In Oermantcwn Mrs.
Ernest Toogood and Mrs. Carl Williams
aro very much interested in It. A number
of girls have been made Federal officers
' get the Federal, because they havo been
appointed and everything and they travel
around explaining tho bulletins tho food
Administrator publishes, .vlth the newest
rules in conservation Hko a quarterly
stylo book. You may think all your con
servation la over because you can get any
amount of sugar and now that you've
heard that your soldier was well and happy
on tho 12th ot November; lut you aro all
wrong. He still has to havo food even if
he is happy, and If you eat too much ho
won't havo any. Henco conservation,
hence rules, henco bulletins, henco these
feminine Federal officers. Tho two Brew
sters, Graco and Ellzaboth, enjoy this title,
and Genevieve Dillejibeck and Ellzabe;h
Van Dusen and several others. So if
- there's anything you don't understand, call
' on them and-they will explain It all to you.
THERE was a smoker out at Manhelm
on Saturday night, given by tho mem
bers of tho club in honor of the German
town Cricket Club Military Organization,
who appeared in uniform. There wero
speeches by Mr. E. W. Clark, president of
the club; Colonel Sheldon Potter and Cap
tain John Blakely, captain of the "mili
tary." The speakers wero introduced by
Mr. Joseph Wayne. Mr. Wayne, by the
way, is the father of somo awfully at
tractive daughters, and Elizabeth, tho old
est. Is almost a deb. She's a member of
'the National League, and tho uniform Is
nst becoming. I foresee a good time for
her. if things ever como back to tho old
customs and wo have debutantes, and teas
end dances and such again. But to go back
to the smoker it was quite an affair, and
they tell mo that every man in German
town was there. They had "professional
talent," too, some of which came out and
V sang national anthems, dressed as na
tional emblems.

(In thi3 aduciifuro Pegoy and Hilly Bel
gium again meet Balky Sum, the army
mule, and Billy Qoat and Johnny Bull, the
army mascots.)
CHAPTEIt I
Balky Sam Kicks
P
(EACH! Peace ! Peace'"
The glad song floated down to Peggy
from the church steeple far aboo her.
"Peace! Peace with victory! Peace with
safety! Peaco with Joy and happiness!" The
chant grew louder as out from the steeple
there poured an army 'bf pigeons.
"Hurrah !" cried Peggy. "The soldier birds
are home from war!"
Down swooped the pigeons, lining up lie
fore Peggy In military formation. In front
of them was a handsome young officer, viho
saluted smartly.
"Princess Peggy, wo have done our duty
and helped to make the world safe for every
one. We thank you for spndlng us to war,
and giving us a share In this noble triumph."
Peggy looked closely. In pleased surprise.
It was Airy Pouter, but not the snobbish, lazy,
sneering Airy Pouter she had known of ola.
This was a snappy, soldiery, likable pigeon
of a very different sort.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're back',' exelaimeo.
Peggy. "But whero aro Carrie and Homer
Pigeon?"
"They have remained behind to prevent
Balky Sam, the army mule, from starting
another war. They want you and Billy Bel
glum to hurry oer there, as fast as you can."
"Goodness gracious! Why does he want
another war. Just when every ono Is so happy
over peace?"
Before Airy Pouter could answer, another
pigeon voice cried, "Hurry, hurry I" and Peg
gy looked up into the air to see Bronze
Beauty darting toward her. Beside htm wa
Billy Belgium's toy airplane, with Billy him
self, reduced to doll-size. In the pilot's seat.
"Come on, Peggy. Here are Gollckety
Leaves to make you small and Invisible,"
shouted Billy.
Presto 1 Peggy became as small as tho
pigeons, and hopped Into the airplane.
"Europe I Blngen on the Rhine I" shoutea
Billy, as If giving directions to a cnauffeur.
"Whlr-r-r- f Whlsh-sh-sh-sh I" went the
airplane for a dizzy minute. Then It slowed
Mp. Looking below, Peggy saw a large river.
"We are In Germany. There's the Rhine,
shouted Billy.
Beside the town was a huge military camp,
over which flew the American flag. Stralgiu
for this camp headed tho airplane. As they
approached It, Peggy and Billy could hear a
violent racket. Bang I Whack ! Thump 1
Clatter! Bang! It sounded like a battle.
"Has the war broken loose again?" cried
Billy In wonderment.
"It will mighty quick, If Balky Sam Isn't
headed off," shrilled a voice close at hand .
and there were Homer and Carrie Pigeon fly
ing beside the airplane.
A bugle call rang out below, and a com
pany of negro soldiers could be Seen running
toward a long wooden building from whlcn
thevacket was coming".
"What's doing?" shouted Billy Belgium.
"Balky Sam's army of mules has taken
possession of tho stables," shrilled Homer
Pigeon. "The negro troops are attacking
them to prevent their beginning a new war on
Germany."
"Oh, oh. tho soldiers will kill the mules!"
screamed Peggy, liorrlfled at the sight of tho
weapons In the hands ot the negroes these
weapons being glistening pitchforks.
"Wall! Wah I Wall I" shouted the negroes,
rushing into the stables.
For a moment there was silence. Then
bang, bangety-bang.'bang! The racket rose
louder than ever. Above It sounded screams.
"Oh, the poor mules I" cried Peggy, cover
ing her ears.
Crash I Out through a window came flying
a negro. Crash I Right through a spllnterea
board came another negro. Crash! Up
through the roof came a third. Then crasn,
crash, crash, followed a chorus, and wltn
every crash a sprawling negro flew through
window, side or roof,
"Hpe I Haw I" roared a familiar voice, and
there was Balky Tarn leading a troop or
prancing, kicking mules, through a hole
smashed In tho side of the stables.
"Heel Haw!" brayed T-.lky Sam. "On
to Berlin!"
"Stop him t" shrieked Homer Pigeon. "Stop
hlra before the war begins" all over again."
(Tomorrow will us fold fcoto Balky Sam
advances against the foe.) y

CHAPTER XIX (Continued)
(IT AM waiting!"
J- Clubfoot's voice broke stridently upon
the silence.
Should I tell him the truth now?
It was three minutes to tho hour.
'Come! The tno addresses "
t would keep faith to the lapt.
''Herr Doktor!" I faltered.
Ha dashed the pencil down on the table
and sprang to his feet. Ho caught me by
the lapels of my ccat and sook me In an
Iron grip.
"The addresses, jou dog!" lip said.
The clock whirred faintly. There wat a
knock at tho door.
"Como In I" roared Clubfoot and resumed
hh seat.
The clock was chiming twelve.
An officer stepped In briskly and saluted
It was Francis! FrnncK freshly
shaved, his mustache neatly trimmed, a
mwioclo In his eye. In a beautifully walsted
gray military overcoat, one white-gloved
hand raised in saluto to his helmet
"Hauptmann on Salzmann! he In
troduced himself clicking his heeli and
howlng to Clubfoot, who glared at him,
frowning at the Interruption. Ho ppoko
with the clipped, mincing utterance of tho
Oplcal Prussian ofllcer. "I am looking for
Herr Lieutenant Sehmnlz," he said.
"Ho In not In," answered Clubfoot in a
urly olce "Ho Is out nnd I am bupv
' I do not wish to be disturbed."
"As Pchmalz Is out," the officer returned
suavely, advancing to the desk. "I must
trcublo you for an Instant, I feor. I have
been sent oer from Goch to inspect the
guard here. But I find no guard
there iM.not a man In tho place."
Clubfoot angrily heaved his unwieldy hulk
from hlq choir
"Golt 1m Hhninel ' ' he cried savngelv
"It Is incrediblo that I can never be left In
peace. What tho devil has tho guard got to
do with me? Will ou understand that T
havo nothing to do with the guard I There
Is a sergeant somewhere curse him for
a lazy scoundrel rn ring "
He never finished tho sentence. As ho
turned his hack on my brother to leach
the bell In tho wall, Francis sprang on him
from behind, seizing his bull neck In an
Iron grip nnd driving his kneo at the samo
moment into that vast expanse ot back
The huge Germ.in, taken by surprise,
crashed over backward, my brother on top
of him.
It was so quickly done that, for lhe Instant.
I was dumbfounded
"Quick, Des, the door"' my brother gasped.
"Ixck tho door!"
Tho big German was roaring like a bull
and plunging wildly under my brother's
fingers, his clubfoot beating a thunderous
tattoo on the parquet floor. In his fall Club
foot's left arm had been bent under him and
was now pinioned to tho ground by his
great weight. With his free right arm lie
strove fiercely to force oft my brothers lin
gers as Francis fought to get a grip on the
man's throat and cluKe him to silence.
I darted to the door. Tho Key was on the
Inside, and 1 tuined It In a trice. As I
turned to go to my brother's help my eve
caught sight of the butt of my pistol llng
where Schnralz had thrown It the evening
before under my overcoat on the leather
lounge.
I snatched up the weapon and dropped by
my brother's side, crushing Clubfoot's right
arm to the ground. I thrust tho pistol In
h'.s face.
"Stop that nolso I" I commanded, e
Tho German obccd
"Better search him, Francis," I said to
my brother. "He probably has a Browning
on him somewhere."
Francis went through the man's pockets,
reaching up and putting each article as It
came to light on the desk above him. From
an Inner breast pocket ho extracted tho
Browning. He glanced at It: tho magazine
was full with a cartridge In the breech.
"Hadn't wo better truss him up?" Francis
raid to me.
' No," I said. I was still kneeling on tho
Gciman's arm. He seemed exhausted. His
head had fallen back upon tho ground.
"Let mo up, curse you !" he choked.
"No I" I said again nnd Francis turned
ard looked at me.
Each of us knew what was In tho other's
m'.nd, mv brother and I. We were think
ing of a handclasp we had c- 'hanged on
tho banks of the Rhine. t
1 was about to speak, but Francis checked
me Ilo was trembling all over. I could
feel his elbow quiver where it touched mine.
"No, Des, please " he pleaded, "let
me this Is my show "
Then, in a voice that vibrated with sup
pressed passion, ho spoke swiftly to Club
foot. "Take a good look at mc, Grundt," he said
eternly. "Vou don't know me, do you? I
aire Francih O'cewood, brother of tho man who
has brought you to your fall.
"You don't know me, but you knew some of
my friends, I think. Jack Tracy? Do you
remember him? And Herbert Arbuthnot?
Ah, you knew him, too. And Philip Brewster?
Tou remember him as well, do you? No need
to ask you what happened to poor Philip!"
The man on tho floor answered nothing, but
I saw tho color very slowly fade from his
cheeks.
My brother spoke again.
"There were four of us after that letter,
as you knew, Orundt, and three of us are
dead. But you never got me. I was the
fourth man, the unknown quantity In all your
elaborate calculations and It seems to
me I spoiled your reckoning I and this
brother of mine an amateur at th
game, Grundt 1"
Still Clubfoot was silent, but I noticed a
bead of perspiration tremble on his forehead,
then trickle down his ashen cheeks and drop
splashing to tho floor. '
Francis continued In tho samo deep, relent
less voice.
"I never thought I should have to soil my
hands by ridding the world of a man like
you Grundt, but It has come to it and you
have to die. I'd have killed you in hot blood
when I first came In but for Jack and Her
bert and the others for their sake
you had to know who Is your executioner."
My brother raised the pistol. As ho did
so" the man on the floor, by a tremendous
effort of strength, rose erect to his knees,
flinging me headlong. Then there was a hot
burst of llamo close to my cheek as I lay on
the floor, a deafening report, a thud and a
sickening gurgle.
Something twitched a little on the ground
and then lay still.

CHAPTER XX
Charlemagne's Hide
THK hands of the clock pointed to a quar
ter past U Funnj, how my eyes kept
coming back to that clock ! There was a smell
of wnim gunpowder In the room, and the
autumn sunshine, struggling feebly through
tho window, caught the blue edges ot a littlo
haze of smoko that hung lazily In the air by
tho desk In tho comer How close tho room
v-as' And how that clock face seemed to
stare at me I I felt very sick. ,
Lord' What a draft! A gut of Icy air
was raging in my face. Tho loom was still
swaying to and fro.
I was in the front sent of a car beside
Prancis, who was driving Wo were fairly
living along a broad nnd emptv road, tho
tall poplars with which It was lined scud
ding away Into tho vanishing landscape ns
we whizzed by The surface was teirlble,
and tho car pitched this way and that ns
we toro along. Hut Francis had her well In
hand. Ho sat at the wheel, very cool and
dellberato and very grave, still In his offi
cer's uniform, and his even had a cold
glint that told ine he was keyed up to top
pitch.
Wo slnckenod speed a fraction to negotiate
a turn off to tho right down a side load Wo
seemed to take thnt corner on two wheels.
A thin church spire p: jtruded from tho trees
In tho center of the group of houses which
wo wero approaching so furiously The vll
lago was all but deserted, eveivbody Beemed
to bo indoors nt their mlddav meal, hut
Francis slowed down and ran along the dirty
street nt a demure pace. The village passed,
hn Jammed down tho accelerator and once
more the car sprang forward.
Tho country was flat as a pancake, but
prcsenllj the fields fell nwny a lilt from the
road with boulders and patches of gorae here
and there. The net moment wo wero slack
ening speed We drew up by a rough track
v Inch led off tho road nnd vanished Into a
tangle of stunted trees nnd scrub growing
across the jellow face of a sandpit.
1'iancis motioned m to get out, and then
sprang to tho ground himself, leaving the
engine throbbing His faco was gray and
set
"Stay here'" he whispered to me. "You've
got our pistol? Good. If anybody Attempts
to interfero with jou, shoot!"
He dashed Into the tangle and was swal
lowed up I heard a whistle, and a. whistle
In answer, and a minute later he appeared
again helping Monica through tho thick
undergiowth
Monlc.i looked ns pretty an a picture In
her dark green shooting suit and her muiner.
Sho was as excited as a child at Its first
play.
"A car!" she exclaimed. "Oh, Francis, I'll
sit beside jou "'
My brother glanced at his watch.
'Twenty to one'" lie murmured. He hid
a hunted look on his face. Monica saw It and
It bobcred her.
They got up in fiont, and I sat In tho
body of the car
"Hang on to that'" said Francis, handing
me over a leather case. I recognized It at a
glance. It was Clubfoot's dispatch-box
Francis was thorough in everj thing.
Once moro we dashed out along the deso
late country roads Wo saw hardly a soul.
Houses wero few and far between and, save
for an occasional grav beard hoeing in the wet
fields or mi old woman hobbling along the
road, the countryside seemed dead. In the
cold air the onglno ran splendidly, and Fran
cis got every ounce of horsepower out of It.
On wc rushed, the wind In our ears, tho
cold air In our faces, until we found oui
sclves racing along nn avenuo of old trees
that led straight as an arrow right into the
heart of tho forest. It was ns silent as the
grave; tho air was dank and chill and the
tiees dripped sorrowfully, into the brimming
ruts of the load.
Wo whizzed past many tracks leading into
the depths of the forest, but It was not until
tho car had eaten up some five kilometers of
tho main road that Trancis slowed to a halt.
He consulted a map ho pulled from nis
pocket, then glanced at his watch with puck
ered brow.
' I had hoped to take the car Into the
forest," he said, "but the loads are so soft
wo shan't get a jard. Still wo can but try."
Wo went forward again, very Monly, to
where a track ran off to the left. It was
baqiy plowed up, and the ruts were fully
a foot deep. Monica nnd I got out to lighten
the car, and Francis ran her in. But ho
hadn't gone five yards before the car was
bogged up to tho axles
"We'll havo to leave It," he said, jumping
out. "It's ten minutes to two vve
haven't a second to lose."
Ilo pulled a cloth cap ftom the pocket of
his military overcoat, then stripped off the
coat, showing his ordinary clothes undei
ncath, and veiy shlnj black field boots up to
his knees. Ho put his helmet In the ovei
coat and made a roll of It. tucking it under
his arm, and then donned his cap.
"Now," ho said, "We'll havo to run for It,
Monica, Im afraid: we must leach our cover
while the light lasts or I shan't be ablo to
find it. and it will be dark in these woods In
about two hours from now. Are jou ready?"
