StonGS^OZ^i j||R" e y Frank Baurn q Billina Frightens the Nome King Now when Dorothy had entered the palace to make her guesses and the Scarecrow was loft with the Nome Kirlg, the two sat in moody silence for several minutes. Then the monarch exclaimed, in a tone of satisfaction: "Very Good!" "Who is very good?" asked the Scarecrow. " T he machine man. He won't need to be wound up any more, for he has now become a very neat ornament. Very neat indeed." "How about Dorothy?" the Scare crow enquired. "Oh, she will begin to guess pretty soon," said the King cheerfully. "And then she will join my collection, and it will be your turn." The good Scarecrow was much distressed by the thought that his little friend was about to suffer the fate of Ozma srd the rest of their party; but while he sat in gloomy reverie a shrill voice suddenly cried: „ Kut, kut, kut—ka-daw-kutl! Kut, kut, kut—ka-daw-kuft!" The Nome King nearly jumped off his seat, he was so startled. "Good gracious! What's that?" he yelled. "Why, it's Billina," said the Scare crow. "What do you mean by making a noise like that?" shouted the King angrily, as the yellow hen came from under the throne and strutted proud ly about the room. "I've got a right to cackle 1 guess," replied Billina. "I've just laid my egg." r Winderdale Dances 15 North Market Square Tues., Thurs. and Sat. Eves. Miss Burd's Enlarged String Orchestra.

In my throne room! How dare you do such a thing;?" arked the King, in p. voice of fury. "I lay eggs wherever I happen to be," said the hen, ruffling her feathers and then shaking them into place. "But—tliunder-ation! Don't you know that eggs are poison?" roared the King, while his rock-colored eyes struck out in great terror. "Poison! Well, I declare," said Billina, indignantly. "I'll have you know all my eggs are warranted strictly fresh and up-to-date. Poison, indeed!" "You don't understand," retorted | the little monarch, nervously. "Eggs ! belong only to the outside world — i to the world on the earth's surface, I where you came from. Here, in my underground kingdom, they are rank poison, as I said and we Nomes can't bear them around." "Well, you'll have to bear this one around." declared Billina; "'for I've laid it." "Where?" asked the King. "Under your throne," said the hen. The King jumped three feet into i the air, so anxious was he to get I away from the throne. | "Take it away! Take it away at jonce!" he shouted. "I can't," said Billina. "I haven't any hands." "I'll take the egg. fLid the Sfcare | crow. "I'm making a collection of | Billina's eggs. There's one in my I pocket now, that she laid yester day." Hearing this, the monarch hasten ed to put good distance between himself and the Scarecrow, who was about to reach under the throne for the egg when the hen suddenly cried: "Stop!"* "What's wrong?" asked the Scare crow "Don't take the egg unless the' King will allow me to enter the palace and guess as the others have done." said Billina. "Pshaw!" returned the King. "You are only a hen. How could you guess my enchantments?" "I can try, I suppose," said Bil lina. "And, if I fail, you will have another ornament." "A pretty ornament you'd make, wouldn't you?" growled the King. "But you shall have your way. It will properly punish you for daring to lay an egg in my presence. After the Scarecrow is enchanted you shall follow him into the palace. But how will you touch the objects?" "With my claws," said the hen: "and I can speak the word 'Ev' as plainly as anyone. Also I must have the right to guess the enchantments of my friends, and to release them if T succeed." "Very well," said the King. "You have my promise." "Then," said Billina to the Scare crow, "you may get the egg." He knelt down and reached under neath. the throne and found the egg, REGENT LAST TIMES TODAY DOUBLE ATTRACTION ELSIE FERGUSON in her new Artcraft Picture "A SOCIETY EXILE" CHARLIE CHAPLIN in his funniest comedy I "The Floorwalker" which he placed In another pocket of his jacket, fearing that if both eggs were in one pocket they would knock together and get broken. Just then a bell above the throne rang briskly, and the King gave an j other nervous jump. [ "Well, well!" said he, with a rue ful face; "the girl has actually done I It." "Done what?" asked the Scare crow. \ "She has made one guess that is right, and broken one of my neatest enchantments. By ricketty, it's too .bad! I never thought she would do it" "Do I understand that she will now return to us in safety?" cu quired the Scarecrow, joyfully wrink ling his painted face into a broad smile. "Of course," said the King, fret fully pacing up and down the room. "I always keep my promises, no matter how foolish they are. But I shall make an ornament of the yellow hen to replace the one I have just lost" "Perhaps you will, and perhaps you won't murmured Biiiiua calmly. "I may surprise you by guessing right." "Guessing right?" snapped the King. "How should you guess right, where your betters have failed, you stupid fowl?" Billina did not care to answer thi.i question, and a moment later the doors flew open and Dorothy entci ed, leading the little Prince Evring by the hand The Scarecrow welcomed the girl with a close embrace, and he would have embraced Evring, too, in his delight But the little Prince was shy, and shrank away from the painted Scarecrow because he did not yet know his excellent qualities. But there was little time for the friends to talk, because the Scare crow must now enter the palace. Dorothy's success had greatly en couraged him and they both hoped he would manage to make at least one correct guess. However, he proved as unfortun ate as the others except Dorotliv. and although he took a good deal of time to select his objects, not -One did the poor Scarecrow guc3S aright. So he became a solid gold card receiver, and the beautiful but ter rible palace awaited its next visitor. "It's all over,", remarked the King, with a sigh of satisfaction, "and it has been a very amusing perform ance, except for the one good guess the Kansas girl made. I am richer by a great many pretty ornaments. "It is my turn, now," said Billina briskly. "Ob, I'd forgotten you," said the Kins. "But you needn't go If you don't wish to. I will be generous, and let you off" "No you won't," replied the hen. "I insist upon having my guesses, as you promised." "Then go ahead, you absurd feathered fool!" grumbled the King, and he caused the opening that led to the palace to appear once more. "Don't go, Billlna," said Dorothy, earnestly. "It isn't easy to guess those orn'ments, and only luck saved me from being one myself. Stay with me, and we'll go back to the Land of Ev together. I'm sure this little Prince will give us a home." "Indeed I will," said Erring with much dignity. "Don't worry, my dear," cried Bil llna, with a cluck that was meant for a laugh. "I may not be human, but I'm no fool, if I am a chicken." "Oh, Billlna!" said Dorothy, "you haven't been a chicken tn a long time.—Not since you—you have been —grown up." "Perhaps that's true," answered Billlna, thoughtfully "But If a Kan sas farmer sold me to someone, what would he call me? —a hen or a chicken!" "You are not a Kansas farmer. Billlna," replied the girl, "and you said—" "Never mind that, Dorothy, I'm going. I won't say good-bye, be cause I'm coming back. Keep up your courage, for I'll pre you a llttlo later." Then Billlna gave pevepal loud "cluck-cluoks" that seemed to make the fat little King more nervous than ever, and marched through the entrance Into the enehanted palace, "I hope I've peen the last of that bird," declared the monarch, peatlng himself again In hla throne and mop ping the perspiration from lita fore head with hie rock-colored handker chief, "Hena are bothersome enough at their beßt, but when they can talk they're simply dreadful." "Dllllna'a my friend," said Dor othy quickly, "flhe may pot alwajs be .'sadly pelltej but she means well, I'm sure," The yellow hen, (stepping high and with an alp ef vgst importance, walked slowly ever the rieh velvet earpeta of the splendid palaeo. os amining everything she met with her sharp little eyes.

R. Llewel lyn. a young Welsh mining engineer, is the talk of London to-day be cause he is completing the most important combination of coal mines and steel mills since the be ginning of the war. Its capital will be $30,000,000, and it will control coal production of approximately 5,000,000 tons a year. "Coal is our basic industry," he says. "It is more valuable than gold. I am an optimist. Organi zation, modern machinery, and la bor saving devices in the coal in dustry will pay as large dividends to-day as at any time. "I think that unless wo can get the miners back to a 48-hour week we are going to have difficulty meeting our export demands. Un less the hours are increased we shall produce only enough for our I own requirements. "The argument that a man can be speeded up to produce the same quantity in a shorter time is rub bish. When the miner was sup posed to bo working eight hours a day ho was really only working six." Halo-Americans, Who. Served in U. S. Army, Sending Money Home Naples, Oct. 18. —Tens of thou sands of checks amounting to mil lions of dollars each month are be ing sent to relatives here by the Italo-Americans who served in the American Army. Therefore the money received from American sol diers' allotments, War Risk Insur ance benefits, and United States Gov ernment compensation constitutes one of the chief sources of income for -Southern Italy at the present time. Of the thousands of Italo- Americans in the American Army, the great majority were from South ern Italy, which has furnished the bulk of Italian emigrants to the United States. At the present rate of exchange of almost ten liro to the dollar, these checks yield a profitable revenue to Italy. It is a widely-known fact that thousands of families in South ern Italy to-dny are being largely supported by such contributions from the Treasury of the United State 3.
