Away to the west in the Valley of
Engraham, where the amethystine sky
drOops in sapphire protectorate
over the undulating sub-valleys and
the sloping hillsides; away to the
west. where the winter, yielding to
spring, bursts like an emerald lily un-
folding its petals, where the summer
is dreamy as hashish, and where the
glorious golden Autumn is panorama
of prism-kissed grandeur. there stands
amid luxurlant elms on southern
slope, a Hildreth Home for Orphan
Boys.
Here among the zephyr-lulled sur
roundings, with the fitting birds that
pipe their songs OF gladness and their
twitterings of grief dwelt Thomas
Fitzmack and Frederick Schaub two
adolescent particles of human debris
gathered from the wreclSstrewn wa
tiers of Fate. OF their parents they
knew nothing except fragmentary
recital by kindly and Imaginative
preceptress Injured to satisfying blood
longing by building upon the merest
fragments of known knowledge.
fsnatches of strange, almost inconceiv-
able family history. This, instead of
satisfying the childish yearning for a
mother or a father, but fed the fire of
longing, inspiring the two boyish
hearts to reach out their tendrils Of
affection for tangible support. And
each, finding nothing on which to
Hasten, turned from pure sympathy to
the other, twining and INTERVIEWING
his love about common comradeship.
Then into the Valley of Ingraham,
under the amethystine. sky, there came
a story book-and a little girl with
.curls like the gold bronzed leaves on
the side-hills in October, with eyes
like the azure skies in Indian Summer,
with laugh like the ripple upon the
rosy pebbles at the ford-and she
gave them the book from beyond the
garden wall of the Home where she
dwelt in great, brick house that
stood like castle within the naples
upon the hill
She proffered 1t as they stood open
FSoutled, awe-sfficEen. gazing across
the ledge As the boys fingered spell
bound, she fed her squirrels and chat
tered with the chipmunks in chorus.
Thomas and Frederick accepted the
book with that strange reticence that
sexes awaken In each other even at

He was finishing the manuscript
when the writer entered, within his

Frederick Schaub arose tremblingly

THEATRICAL NOTES

Local people may have a chance TO
see a king and president.
Very few people have the opportun-
ity OF seeing a king and a national
president in one evening, yet you may
do so at the Lyman "a. Howe moving
picture exhibition at the Grand Op-
era House next Monday ana Tuesday
nights. A picture showing the King Of
England ana President Loubet. OF
France getting into their carriage at
Vincennes, surrounded by the dignitar-
les Of the land. was taken during the
Kings recent visit. There IS an excel
lent moving likeness of both ana every
move they made Is shown. The jour
ney to the place for the reception Is
also shown.
These are only a few Of the many ex-
elusive pictures which Mr.. Howe has
secured, some Of them showing the nat
ural colors.
The Marco Twins are the limit in
grotesque comedy, and It Is not at all
surprising that they should be a big
card for the Garrick this week. The
act Is original. and that is saying much
for Il In these days of vaudeville ex-
travaganza. The fact that Oscar Ham
merstein, Of the New York roof garden,
has secured It for twenty straight
weeks commencing June 1, Is pretty
good evidence OF its merit. TO miss
the Marco Twins at the Garrick this
week Is to miss a laugh that comes
only once In long time. Even during
these warm days the Garrick Is as
cool and delightful as one could wish
for.

TIPS FROM THE BAT

Harrisburg had an easy time OF 1t.
ono hit and that one was questionable,
off Hummells bat.
The visitors played a snappy game all
the time and never missed an opportunity
to score.
Tracy played poor game. his fielding
being way off.
Fleming did good work in the field but
could do no more with the Harrisburg
twirlers than any OF the others.
Even Tommy Campbell and Russell are
taking a big slump In batting.
Bruce pitched an excellent game, but
one hit will not win for any pitcher.
Pete" Agnew used good judgment in
substituting Matthews for Davis after
the latter went up in the air.
DO better against Wiliamsport today.
Lebanon promises TO be a harder propo-
sition than Harrisburg. so the locals Will
have 20 DO some batting those two games.
Several times hit would have scored
two runs, but It never came.
With three men on bases and but one
out the fans thought Sullivan would at
least knock a fly TO the outfield but the
best he could do was 70 knock a grounder
IN Bonners hands and a double play fol-
lowed.
Matthews had excellent control.
The game only gave pete" Agnew one
chance TO kick
Nincent's home run was a beauty.
Harrisburg played without an error and
Wilmington also played fair game in

Another game went by without Tracy

cialst. arrived from New York and
went into a consultation on the sena-

Senator Quay is suffering from chronic
gastritis and that there are no comph-
cations and no liver affection, as was
at first feared. DR.. Wilson said. "Sena-
tor Quay may get well. There is no
reason yet for giving up hope. His con-
dition Is most encouraging, although
his constitution is such that he is sub
ject TO sudden changes, and he may be
worse again"
