YOUR CHANGE TO WIN PRIZE

Number fourteen of the Halloween
puzzle has so far proven the most diff
cult number for the Puzzle Circle to

other rough places scattered here and
there along the puzzle way.

dispairingly, sending her solution to the
puzzle anyway, although she had but
thirteen numbers filled out, (which is un-

ANOTHER BRIGHT BOY ENTERED
IN THE BORDEN BABY CONTEST

Allow me to introduce you to Master
Charles r. Lippold. who was brought to
The Washington Herald's office yester-
day by his father and presented to me
in all due form and ceremony.
Not that he needed any one to escort
him down, for Charles is quite a man at
fifteen months.
If you don't believe it, just look at the
clothes he has dOnned to prove it, and at
his big brown, twinkling eyes, that
know nothing whatever Of fear.
He was born with all the bravery of
a man in his heart.
You see, he had to be. for his father
is Charles r. Lppold, the policeman on

son Of q big policeman could never have

ginning. now, could he?

Elk River had not Mr.. Richard keppel
Cavendish. variously known as Long
legged Dick. and Chills-and- Fever Cav
endish, of Lincoln County, in the State
OF Tennessee. some months previously
and after unprecedented mental effort
on his part, decided that Lincoln County
was no place for him.
Mr.. Cavendish's paternal grandparent
had drifted down the Holston and Ten
nessee; and Mr.. Cavendish's father, in
his sons youth, had poled up the Elk
Mr.. Cavendish now determined to float
down the Elk to its juncture with the
Tennessee, down the Tennessee to the
Ohio, and if need be, down the Ohio to
the Mississippi, until he found some spot
exactly suited to his taste.
With this end in view he had toiled
through the late winter and early spring,
building himself raft on which to tran
sport his few belongings and his -numer-
out family.
Thus IL happened that as MurreIl and
Slosson were dragging Yancy down the
lane, Cavendish was gust rounding a
bend in the Elk, a quarter of a mile
distant Leaning loosely against the
long handle of his sweep, he was watch.
ing the lane of bright water that rar
trees on either bank.
He heard a dull splash, and caught
sight of some object in the eddy that
swept alongside. Mr.. Cavendish prompt.
ly detached himself from the handle OF
the sweep and ran to the edge Of the
raft.
1t was a face, livid and blood-streaked.
Dropping on his knees, he reached out a
pair of long arms and made a dextrous
grab, and his fingers closed on the collar
Of Yancy's shirt. He drew Yancy close
alongside, and pulled him clear Of the
water. Mr.. Cavendish began q hurried
examination Of the still figure. There's s
little life here-not much. Polly" he
called.
This brought Mrs. Cavendish from one
of the two cabins that occupied the center
Of the raft When she caught sight of
Yancy she uttered a shrek.
Her cry had aroused the other dentzens
of the raft. Six little Cavendishes, each
draped in a single garment, tumbled
forth from their shelter.
Il reckon we'd better lift him on to
one of the beds-get his wet clothes on
and wrap him up warm" said Polly.
'Oh, put him in our bed!' cried all the
little Cavendishes.
And Yancy was borne into the smaller
of the two shanties, where presently his
ban1aged head rested on the long pillow.
Then his wet clothes were hung up to
dry along with the family wash which
fluttered on a rope stretched between the
two shantiee.

Br JULIA CHANDLER MANz.

DO you mind twins?" came the in
terrogation to ME suddenly over the
phone yesterday, which, l confess, quite
startled me for a moment.
I'd Just love twins" I answered back,
which was quite enough to send the
mother of the pair into rhapsodies.
They are the Ioveliest things, really,
Mrs. Manz. But how in the world could
the judges consider them separately, for
they are as much alike as two black
eyed peas" she wanted to know.
You just send them along down to
The Herald office and don't worry about
the troubles of the judges" l suggested,
adding that the consideration OF the
individual loveliness of each tiny tot was
the Judges affair, and they'd have to
face the music and grapple with the
trouble without help from any source"
So the twins were promised for the
Borden Baby Contest, which just reminds
me to ask If there are any twins, or trip
lets. or anything of that kind in your
home?
They will be very welcome in the Bor-
den Baby Contest, and it is very prob
able that they may win a prize, although
Mr. Theodore Roosevelt isn't going TO be
one of the judges as far as l know.
A few sets of twins would set of the
next full page OF beautiful babies to a

show that they may have chance OF
winning one of the splendid prizes about
which you have read now many times
in The Washington Herald.

bright morning, when you open The
Washington Herald, you are sure to find
your little boy or girl smiling back at
you from its pages.
But all this can't happen. you know,
unless you send that photograph you
have on hand, or take the youngster
down to the Bachrach Studio and have
a fine new picture made.

tures which l did not think it just to
the little ones to accept. so I just per-
Euaded them to take them back home

when they found that the new picture
would cost them absolutely nothing.

he saw the crowd stream into the road
before the tavern. Then a cloud of dust
enveloped II, a cloud of dust that came
from the trampling OF many pairs of
feet, and that swept toward them, thick
and impenetrable, and no higher than a
tall mans head in the lifeless air Il
wonder If we missed anything" continued
the judge, finishing what he had started
to say.
The score or more of men were quite
near, and the judge and Mahafry made
out the tall figure of the sheriff in the
lead. And then the crowd, very excited
very dusty, very noisy. and very hot,
flowed into the judges front yard. For
brief moment that gentleman fancied
Pleasantville had awakened to a fitting
sense of its obligation to him and that
IT was about to max. amends for its
churlish lack Of hospitality. He rose from
his chair, and with splendid forid ges-
ture, swept off his hat.
IT'S the pussy fellow:" cried voice
"Oh, shut up-don't you think 1 know
him." retorted the sheriff tartly.
"Gentlemen-" began the judge
blandly.
The judge was rather at loss properly
to interpret these varied remarks. He
was not long left in doubt. The sheriff
stepped to his side and dropped heavy
hand on his shoulder.
Mr.. Slocum Price, or whatever your
name is, your little game is up"
Amt he bold?" It was the woman's
voice this time, and the fat landlady,
her curls awry and her plump breast
In
the forefront of the crowd.
Dear madam, this is an unexpected
pleasure" said the judge, with his
hand upon his heart.
II want my money!! shrieked the
landIady. Good money-not this worth
less trash-' she shook a bill under his
nose The judge recognized 1t as the
one Of which he had despolled Hanni-
bal.
You have been catched passing coun-
terfeit," said the sheriff. A light broke
on the judge, a light that stunned and
dazzled.
Il can explain"
Speak 10 them, Solomon-you know
how 1 came by the money" cried the
Judge, clutching his friend by the arm.
Mahaffy opened his thin lips, but the
crowd drowned his voice in a roar.
A tall fellow shook long finger un-
der Mahaffys nose.
You scoot!''
Mr.. Mahaffy seemed to hesitate. Some
one gave him a shove and he staggered
forward step. Before he could re-
cover himself the shove was repeated.
"Lope on out of here!' yelled the tan
fellow. Mahaffy was hurried toward the
road. Twenty men were in chase be-
hind him. Then the woods closed about
him. His long legs, working tirelessly,
carried him over fallen logs and through
tangled thickets, the voices behind him
ran.

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN
WASH THEIR OWN HAIR

Mrs. Mae Martyr, writing for the Dem
yer Call, says: Society has taken to
nome shampooing for only one reason,
and that's to save their natural hair.
Most hair dressers insist on shampooing
with soap jelly, which in time will ruin
any head of hair. The alkali in soap
bleaches and dulls the hair, causing II to
split, become brittle, and fall out
Society women avoid these conditions
by washing their own hair with a tea
spoonful of canthrox dissolved in a cup
OF hot water. This simple, inexpensive
shampoo cleanses perfectly, dries quickly
without any I'll effects, and leaves the
hair very soft lustrous, and fuzzy.
Only few minutes are required for one
of these perfect, delightful shampoos." !"

indeed, he went so far as to say there
existed a strong undercurrent Of satis-
faction that the jail should have SO speed

Presently the sheriff went his way into

swiftly to fellowship the judges fears.
