Why Do They.

Why women like the baldheadeo
man It Is somewhat difficult to define.
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and conflding. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
Of youth.
Usually successful.
A man Of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage so
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks SO clean and
nice. One would like to kiss 1t.
A doctor welcomes badness when It
comes to him. as It Is a sign Of SCI
dateness and dignified learning, which
invariably increases his practise.

Neil was absorbed in thought for
some time ~ he drove the canoe
through the tall rice grass that grew
thick along the edge Of the shore.

The sudden grip of his companions
fingers made him finch.
I'VE must!" said Nathaniel.
He climbed ashore and watched Neil
until he had disappeared In the wild
rice. Then he turned into the woods.
He looked at his watch and saw that
It was only 2 o'clock. He was con-
scious Of no fatigue: he was not con.
scious Of hunger. To him the whole
world had suddenly opened with glo.
rious promise and In the still depths
of the forest he felt like singing out
his rejoicing. He had never stopped
to ask himself what might be the end
OF this passion that had overwhelmed
him; he lived only In the present. In
the knowledge that Marion was not
q wife, and that 1t was he whom fate
had chosen for her deliverance. He
reasoned nothing beyond the sweet
eyes that had called upon him, that
had burned their gratitude, their hope
and their despair upon his soul: moth.

soon be free from the mysterious In

up the gun and box and began forcing
his way through the dense alder along

For q time the crashing OF their
bodies through the dense growth OF
the swamp drowned all other sound.
Five minutes later Neil stopped on the

He started on, but halted suddenly

Nell. "isten!"
After an interval of silence there
came long mournful howl.
"Treed-treed or In the water, that's
what the bowling means. How Croche
and his devils are bowling now."
A curse was mingled with Neil's
breath as he forced his way through
the bog. Twenty rods farther ON they
came to a slime covered bit OF water
on which was floating a dugout ca
noe. Immense relief replaced the
anxiety In Nathaniels face as he
climbed into 1t. At that moment he
was willing to fight hundred men
for Marion's sake. but snakes and boys
and bloodhounds were entirely outside
his pale Of argument and he exhibited
no hesitation in betraying this fact to
his companion. Foe . quarter of q

Two neighbors lived for a long time IN
close friendship until one Of them had
an artificial pond constructed in his gar

The pond owner replied that he was
not to blame for the musical activity Of
the frogs. which he had not placed in the
pond. The first tribunal upheld the pond
owner on the ground that the frogs were
a eispensation OF nature which must be
put up with like the sun and rain. The
judgment was upset by the next higher
tribunal and the decision of the latter
was affirmed by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court reasoned that who

London. July BIT is exactly eighty
one years since the horse omnfbuses first
appeared in London streets. from which
they are now fast disappearing. In 1928
they were first used in Paris, and their
introduction into London was due to
George Shillibeer, who had romantic
career, first as a mildly" In the British
navy. and afterward as a coach builder
in Paris.
He placed the first two omnlbuses ever
seen in England on the London streets
July, 1929. They were built TO carry
twenty-five passengers, all inside. and
were drawn by three beautiful bays har-
messed abreast. Outside. in large letters,
was printed the words Omnibus" on
both sides of the vehicles.
Large crowds assembled to witness the
start from the Yorkshire Stingo. the

the charge was twenty-five GEMS. News

The reason is that of the 2se state-owned

searched, but no property becoming to

Waterman could not swear he had seen

GREAT DOLL HOUSE IS SHOWN
Completed in Five Years by Ulster
King-at-arms.
Everything Made LiIIIputian, Includ'
ing Book the Size of Postage
Stamp and Other Articles.

London, July 23.-The most wonderful
doll house In the world is on exhibition
in London Il is the work Of Capt.
Wilkinson, Ulster King-at-arms, who is
an expert in heraldry and the fine arts.
The house is about seven feet square
sfd took about FIVE years 70 complete.
The furnishings is not yet finished. As
far as possible, only antique furniture,
silver. and china are used. and Capt.
Wilkinson and his wife, Lady Muriel
Herbert. have collected all the contests.
Everything is Lilliputian. On the hall
table lies a visitors book the size Of a
postage stamp. with King Edwards
name inscribed. for he and Queen Alex
andra went to the house In 1908 In the
dining-room is a Jacobean buffet. eight
inches long. and an oak table OF cor
responding dimensions.
A Georgian silver beaker, the size Of a
thimble, is fanked by dimlnutive Queen
Anne candlesticks, and silver gilt NJ
remberg tankard. old Dutch candle
scenes, Chiddlngfold and Venetian
glasses. a Dresden coffee service. silver
salvers. and tea and coffee urns are
among the matchless curiosities TO be
seen in the wee dining-room.
The oak doors which separate the re-
ception rooms were carved by Capt
Wilkinson. The grand piano, of satin
wood and marquetry, is the work OF a
Mr.. Putland. It is a perfect model,
thoroughly in tune and can be played
upon, thougb<a child's hand could span
the keyboard. The library Is fairly COM
plete. There are volumes Of the poets
in fooled vellum and shagren. which
measure half an inch in length, and there
are volumes dated 1912. which could be
hidden in a mans hand. The contents of
the whole mansion could almost be car
ried off in a mans hat, but their value
is large.
