Legitimate drama; neither did they con-
tain n good Tarraway part, as he had
conceived ii. But he was made TO I'M
derstand that if he did upset every
body by going against the majOrity and
vctoing these pieces he would be .
poltroOn. an ignOramus and heartleSs
cad. He did not exercise that veto.
-'Of course" said George. Il don't
dream of asking Mr.. Tarraway to take
any part in the farce That is quite
beneath his attention. 1t is all very
we'll for us beginners. but 1 shouldn't
like to see Il man like Mr.. Tarraway
waste himself on it,
Il don't mind little harmless fun"
said Tarraway feebly.
NO" said Miss Agnes Parkinson;
''thcre must be n limit to your kind
ness"
As to the sentimental piece. there
was n unanimous cry that George must
play the hero. Tall and handsome. he
would look the part to perfection. Miss
Agnes Parkinson said:
Unless Mr.. Tarraway wishes to play
it himself. We must not forget that he
is organizing this entertainment"
Mr.. Tarraway diSclaimed any desire
to play the part. wherein he lied.
George accepted 1t on condition that
Mr.. Tarraway played the manservant,
which in Georges opinion was Il much
more important part than You would
think from hearing the piece read. He
has seen great success made with it.
After the second rehearsal they ALL
especially George. said that, though
NTr ln ~ IN
ton. it interfered with his duties as
stage manager. They could not afford
to lose him as stage manager. At the
next rehearsal he was asked to give up
the stage management. though for the
life of them they did not know where
to find another as good. The fact was
that his clear enunciation and his
splendid judgment marked him out as
the ideal prompter. He resigned that
post later, when it was found that Mrs.
Minslow, who had taken to worth of
tickets. wanted it for her son. As
George said, with fine public spirit: 1T
is not as If we were doing this just to
amuse ourselves. We must think of
the choir fund. Besides, Mr.. Tarraway
has all the organizing to do, and he
will be wanted i'm front"
Finally Mr.. Tarraway was selected
as the right person to take the money
ut the doors. In this capacity he did
not take much money, but had the
compensation OF missing the entertain
ment.
The net result was debt of &c 2s. I'D.
And the vicar thinks that Mr.. Tara
way might have put n little more en-
ergy into it, The families agree with
him, especially George.

STEPS ON MATCH AND
SETS HER SKIRT ON FIRE

Miss Mildred A. Benck, stenogra-
pher at the city clerks office. Moline,
had a narrow escape Saturday on the
Odd Fellow excursion to Linwood
from a most serious accident. Her
dress caught fire and if it had not
been for her own quick wit and the
timely assistance lent by Elmer Oak
ley and j. Sundeen she would have
been seriously and perhaps fatally
burned.
Miss Benck was one of merry
group of young people who were talk
ing together. AS they walked along
Miss Benck stepped over a match
which had been thrown on the ground
by passerby, and instantly her
skirts were ablaze With rare pres
ence of mind she threw herself upon
the ground and began to roll over
and over while the young men seized a
golf cape and enveloped her with it.
When the excitement was over she
was found to have sustained no in
iuries. Another skirt was secured at
a neighboring house and she spent
the remainder of the day very pleas
antly.

corning the Harris show to be seen

The world famous nickel plate
shows arrived early this morning and
have pitC he'd their tents at McGrann's
park for TO-DAY. They gave a splendid
street parade this morning. which was
seen by large crowds all along the
line of march. Despite being here
after a holiday, the afternoon per-
fermance was well attended and not
one dissenting voice could be heard
from among the large mum Der who
attended. The educated ponies, horses.
camels and elephants gave a remark
able performance. The show is given
in one ring, where one can see all
that takes place, and is much more
appreciated than one of the String

another performance tonight, and
those wanting to see tirst-class show
should not miss this one.''

The Daily Short Story
OUT OF IT..


When Mr.. James Ashton Tarraway
was asked TO organize dramatic en-
tertalnment in aid of the choir funds,
he smiled and accepted with alacrity.
He had always taken an intelligent in
terest I'm the drama. AS an amateur ac-
tor he had never had scope, buc now
his chance had come.
But Mt his first essay, flushed with
enthusiasm and fired with hope, he
went at once to invoke the aid of the
ParkinsOns.
Would they help? OF course they
would. Further, they would get the
Maxwell Smiths to help. too. aud the
Maxwell Smiths were splendid, espe-
cially George. Between tine Parkinsons
and the equally numerous Maxwell
Smiths there were an alliance and n
friendship of long standing. and It was
possible that one or two Of the younger
members. especially George. might fur
Their cement II in the blessed bonds OF
mntrimony. So here Mr.. Tarraway had
his company made To his hand. So he
went home happy and dreamed of a
playful whereon was written:
Romeo (son to Montague), Mr.. j.
Ashton Tarraway.'
And n little farther down:
Juliet daughter of Capulet, Miss
Agnes Parkinson"
Agnes was certainly the prettiest Of
the Parkinson girls. The Maxwell
Smiths were all good looking, especial
ly George.
But at the very first meeting of the
alliance and Mr.. Tarraway he saw his
hopes dashed. They listened with re-
spcct to his statement that he was dis
posed to fly somewhat high. But they
were opposed to Shakespeare. George
thought the fairest thing would be to
put it to the vote For Shakespeare
voted Mr.. Tarraway from conviction,
and Miss Parkinson from tact In
favor OF n good old farce and some
thing sentimental TO follow voted cv-
erybOdy else.
And that was the beginning of the
end. Against the family alliance Mr..
Tarraway was powerless. They fiat
tered him hugely, and the more they
flattercd him the less did they do any
one OF the things that he wanted. When
ii came to the selection of n piece. 1t
turned out that George had already

clearly to be understood that he did not
want to force them on anybody. The
first was that old fashioned. rollicking
piece. Wooden Heads" fun of fun and
always n success. The second was that
sweetly pretty little thing in one act
entitled "An April Love Story"
''Now," said George. ION one thing /
insist. Mr.. Tarraway Is organizing
this entertainment. and Mr.. Tarraway
must have the right of veto. We all
value his judgment, and it must over
rule any opinion which we may form
ourselves"
This was agreed upon at once with
out n single dissentient vote and Mr..
Tarraway was pleased. Then the two
plays were read.
Mr.. Tarraway did not like either OF
them. They were not his idea of the

TEACHERS AT school
Annual Rock Island County In
stitute Opens at Augustana
College.
TWO HUNDRED ARE IN ATTENDANCE
Talk by Or. Gustav Andreen--
Corps of Able lnstruc-
tors.

The annual institute of the teach
ers of Rock Island county opened this
morning at Augustana college. Both
the time and the place of holding the
institute this year are unusual. The
custom has been to hold il in June
Just after the close of the summer
term of school, and the change in this
respect was an experiment on the
part of Supt. S. j. Ferguson. Usually
the meetings have been held in the
high school. and it's destruction by
lire made the choice of other quarters
necessary.
About 200 teachers were in attend
ance today, many from the county
being, as usual. absent on the first day
of the session. The morning session
was attended mainly by city teachers.
many of the outsiders from the ends
of the county arriving on the late
forenoon trains.
Series OF Lectures.
The plan is to make the institute q
series of lectures before the entire
body of teachers. the hours being
from a. IN. to 1928 p. M, with an
hour and a half for noon. Supt. Fer
guson has secured . highly comPe
tent corps of instructors composed Of
Frank II. Hall, of Jacksonville, on
geography and arithmetic; Sherman
Davis. of Bloomington, Iud on life
relations and education, and Prof. +
