caution vanished, and she strobe on
fearless and confident.
When night came again she crept
into an unused sheep barn, and when
daylight wakened her, she hurried on
once more.
All that second day she plodded on
that same patient uphill, downdale
journey, never hating except to pick
a few berries, or where brook crossed
the road to obtain handful of water
cress or some sweet-nag buds.
Now and then villages were passed,
again it was country sparsely settled,
where farm-houses were wide apart,
and when this day was waning, even
these had vanished and she found her
self in almost a wilderness once more.
Hills now met her already weary
feet: they seemed never ending, for as
the crown of one was reached, another
met her eyes. The roadway also be-
came badly quilted, always stony, with
grass growing in the hollows.
BY now she was faint and dizzy
from two days fasting, and SO footsore
that she could scarce limp along. So
far her defiant pride had kept her from
begging food, but now that was weak
ching, and at the next house she
would have asked, morsel. But no
next house came. Only the same
scrub growth along the wayside with
now and then patch of forest, with
never a fence even, to indicate human
ownership.
The sun had now vanished. Already
the stretches of forest were shadowy

And so Chip Mcclure, waif of the

philanthropic woman, as Vera Ray
mond found another home, and began
still another life with this old farmer,
Judson Walker, and his wife Mandy.
But a sorrow deeper far than Chip
ever realized fell upon Aunt Comfort
when her trimming eyes read her note
the morning after her flight.

DOG TAILERS" BUSY

Appendaee if Season in Delaware
and Maryland Is to Be
Successful

GEORGETOWN, Del, April 1S-Thls
is g-tailing time in the lower reaches
of Delaware, as well as over on the
eastern shore of Maryland, for due
and circumspect preparation must be
made for the huckleberry season.
Bob Ingersoll once said that God was
good to Delaware, and made oysters
without legs so the people of the little
state wouldn't starve. He might also
have said that there was divine good
ness to Delaware in the creation of the
luscious huckleberry. for in this part
of the state at least the berry is of
commanding Importance as an article
of local diet.
But dogs must be tailed if huckleber-
ries are to be gathered and eaten; 9TH
erwse the crop will fail. The tall, un-
gainly, mournful-eyed "houn' dawg'
abounds in lower Delaware; he is nee
essary to catch rabbits. But the hound
dog is by nature endowed with a long
tail, which he carries high. No other
dog has such a mischieVous tail. A full
grown hound, careering through the
underbrush in the sandy lands of lower
Delaware will knock more ripe huckle-
berries off the bushes in five minutes
than a man could pick in a day. No
huckleberry is fit for anything until it
is dead ripe, and when it is dead ripe
the slightest jar will dislodge it from
the bush. A dogs tail, waving aloft,
will sweep them off by millions.
Therefore the "houn' daWg" of lower
Delaware is bob tailed The farmers

SLASHES THROAT TWICE WITH
RAZOR
Laborer Says He Has No Hope for
the Future and That Exist
ence Has Lost All
Charms

The weary, dull and improbable eX-
istence of a day laborer became monot-
onous to L. A. Neal, aged 30, and he
decided to end his life yesterday morn
ing at his room, 337 East Fourth street,
by cutting his throat with razor.
Holding a small hand mirror before
him in order to make sure of inf1icting
a mortal wounC, he grasped the razor
and drew it across his throat. His
hand trembled and the blade did not
penetrate a sufficient depth. He waited
a few minutes and again slashed his
throat and lay down on the bed, wait
ing for death to come. He bled pro-
fusely and began to groan.
An occupant of the adjoining room
heard the cries of Neal and rushed into
the room. An ambulance was sum-
moned and the wounded man taken to
the receiving hospital, where the sur
geons sewed up the gaping wounds in
Neal's throat.
Life has no charms for me any

many opportunities and am fit for

Neal will recover. The total length
of the two wounds in his neck were
three and one-Lalf inches. In neither

lilies, which are blooming in such pro-

roses and the delicate little lilies of
the valley will be used in many church
decorations to the delight of large con-

wild mustard, which makes the hills
a golden hue will not be passed by
and in many instances will form the
sole color for the churches.
The downtown churches as rule
will present the most elaborate de-

coming up with many beautiful ef-

Christ church, always beautiful on
high feasts, today will present a beau

beautiful flowers which outline the
reed screen and form a bank at the
altar in the rear of the sanctuary. The
pulpit has been generously decorated
and will make one of the pretty ef-
fects of this church.

be adorned in keeping with its char

will be used in a stately ARRANGEMENT

services in the vast Auditorium, which
is in itself a perennial bloom, had not

interior precludes any special decor

for the active application of Russia's S
