Dorothy following him, and the yellow I hen trotting along last of all. At the foot of the path the copper | man leaned down and tossed aside w rocks that numbered the .way. Then he turned to Dorothy and; :said: • | "Let me oar-ry your din-ner- pail."; She placed it in his right hand at once, and the copper fingers closed firmly over the stout handle. Then the little procession marched I tout upon the level sands. | As soon as the three Wheelers who ; were guarding the mound saw them, i they began to shout their wild cries' and rolled sWiftly toward the little gcrup. as if to capture them or bar; their way. But when the foremost had i ! approached near enough, Tiktok ! swung the tin dinner pail and struck j i the vi heeler a sharp blow over its' head with the queer weapon. Per |haps it did not hurt very much, but it ! made a great noise, and the Wheeler 1 uttered a howl and tumbled over I upon Its side. The next minute it [scrambled to its wheels and rolled i away as fast as it could go. screech ling with feaT at the same time, j "I told you they were harmless," .began Tiktok; but before he could say ! more another Wheeler was upon I them Crack! went the dinnerpeil I against its head, knocking its straw hat a dozen feet away; and that was j enough for this Wheeler, also. It rolled away after the first one, and! [the third did not wait to be pounded | with the pail, but joined its fellows as quickly as its wheels would whirl. I The yellow hen gave a cackle of | delight, and flying to a perch upon iTiktok's shoulder, she said. I "Bravely done, my copper friend! i and wisely thought of. too. Now we I are free from those ugly creatures." I But just then a large band of Wheelers rolled from the forest, and I reiving upon thejfr numbers to con ; quer, they advanced fiercely upon ; Tiktok. Dorothy grabbed Billtna in iher arms and held her tight, and the ! machine embraced the form of the 'little girl with his left arm. the bet tor to protect her. Then the Wheelers were upon them. Rattlety. bang! bang! went the dinner pail In every direction, and it made so much clatter bumping, against the heads of the Wheelers | that they were much more frightened | than hurt and fled in a great panic. | [All. that is, except their leader. This! Wheeler had stumbled against anoth- j er and fallen fiat upon his back and j before he could get his wheels under; him to rise again. Tiktok had fasten- | ed his copper fingers into the neck of: the gorgeous - jacket of his foe and 1 held him fast. "Tell your peo-ple to go a-way," I commanded the machine, i The leader of the Wheelers hesi- J itated to give this order, so Tiktok j shook him as a terrier dog does a rat lumil the Wheeler's teeth rattled to-; gether with a noise like hailstones on ; a window pane. Then, as soon as the ( ; creature could get Its breath, it shout- i ed to the others to roll away, which j they immediately did. ! "Now," said Tiktok. "you shall : come with us and tell me what I want j tc. know." "You'll be sorry for treating me in this way." whined the Wheeler. "I'm a terribly fierce person." "As for that," answered Tiktok, "I j am only a ma-chine, and can-not feel : Bor-row or joy, no mat-ter what hap- . pens. But you are wrong to think vour-se'f ter-ri-ble or fierce" "Why so?" asked the Wheeler. "Be-cause no one else thinks as you do. Your wheels make you help-less to ln-jjire an-y one.

Extensive arrangements have been made fdr the entertainment of ! the men during the afternoon. Each : one wears at least one wound stripe I and all are wearing one, two or ! three gold service stripes in recog j nition of their service overseas with I the American forces. Secretary A. j G. McLaughlin, who is in charge j of the branch in this city, has been ! in charge of the plans, assisted by j Secretaries Allen and McDonald. Arriving in the city by automo ! bile at noon, in charge of sev eral commissioned officers attached | to the hospital, and accompanied by ' a number of nurses, the men were I taken immediately to Vaughn Villa, ' overlooking the broad Susquehanna river. A sumptuous dinner, with old j Virginia ham as the outstanding ! feature of the menu, was the first i number on the afternoon's program. ; From twenty-five to thifty promt- I nent Harrisburg women are in at : tendance and served in ministering I to the needs of the wounded ve{- ! erans at the dinner table. An entertaining program of mu sical and other numbers has been ' arranged for the later afternoon. ! The Perm-Harris orchestra was ! scheduled to present a number of 1 selections, and a high-class musical act was scheduled by Joe Sullivan, and Rex Crandall.

"That I cannot say." replied the Wheeler, "although I have seen her twenty times. For the Princess Lang widere is a different person every time I sec her, and the only way her ; subjects can recognize her at all is by i means of a beautiful ruby key which .she always wears on a chain attach-I ied to her left wrist. When we see j the key we know we are beholding! the Princess." i That is strange," said Dorothy. In ' ! astonishment. "Do you mean to say! i that so many different princesses are, one and the same person?" "Not exactly," answered the Wheel-' er. "There Is. of course, but one prin- I cess; but she appears to us In many I forms, which are all more or less; beautiful." "She must be a witch," exclaimed i the girl. I "I do not think so." declared the |T\ heeler. "But there is some mvsterv i connected with her. nevetheless. She; is a very vain creature, and lives {mostly in a room surrounded by mil- 1 ■ tors, so that she can admire herself' whichever way she looks." I No one answered this speech, be cause they had just passed out of the! forest and their attention was fixed, | upon the scene before them—a beau-I I tlful vale, in which were many fruit 1 I trees and green fields, with pretty .farmhouses scattered here and there i and broad, smooth roads that led in I every drfction. : In the center of this lovely vale. I about a mle from where our friends' (were standing, rose the tall spires of i the royal palace, which glittered if rightly against their background of j blue sky. The palace was surrounded 1 by charming grounds, full of flowers 'and shrubbery. Several tinkling foun j tains could be seen, and there were I pleasant walks bordered by rows of {white marble statuary. I All of these details Dorothy was, of | course, unable to notice or admire i until they had advanced along the j road to a position quite near to the palace, and she was still looking at ] the pretty sights when her little pari.v 'entered the grounds and approached | the big front door of the king's own j apartments. To their dsappointment (they found the door tightly closed. A •sign was tacked to the panel which read as follows: f The splendid work of the choir | of Grace Methodist Church during the last four years frequently has been highly commended by mem- I bers of the congregation.

Colonel Pusey said that he had been unable to learn whether this money had been deposited in the ruined t institution, or whether Ralph T. Moyer, the cashier, who is accused of wrecking the institution, had. converted the funds to his own pur poses. "This is the Una of inquiry that we want to purauo now," said Col onel Pusey last night, "and with this knowledge gained we can get an adequate idea of the assets of tha bank, and how much of those sup posed overdrafts are real or aj-e protected by notes which are col lectable." While the State Investigator was busy in this manner District Attoi ncy Rotan's office started its own probe to determine if further arrests are warranted. James H. Cortelyou, chief of the county detectives, and his first assistant, Samuel Wynne, were placed on the case, while the banking end of this investigation was turned over to Philip N. Gold smith. Rotnn's Experts on Books District Attorney Rotan said that he had received the letter from Leo Weinrott, counsel for some of the North Penn depositors, asking for proceedings against Charles A. Am bler, former Insurance Commission er, and Daniel F. Lafean, former Banking Commissioner. His reply to the communication was Virtually given in the following public state ment. which Mr. Rotan issued: "The Banking Commissioner and myself and my assistants are work ing together in a complete and thor ough investigation of the smash-up. T have appointed special experts on books to investigate with the Bank ing Department, with the intention of finding out where every dollar of tlm $900,000 shortage has gone. My chief detective, Mr. Cortel i you, and Mr. Wynne, his assistant, will investigate with the hook ex perts to trace every dollar and find out the names of everyone who benefited by the wrongdoing.
