make short work Of him, and then we
will see what has become Of the Prin-
cess"
The Prince did not seem a bit fright
ened. and, of course, the lion only had
not hard to hold.
But while, the Prince was holding her
the Princess could not change to her
own form, and she began to tremble
when the knife was brought. for she
thought her time had come
But just at the moment when the
Prince held tie knife ready to strike
In hobbled the Old witch, who had given
the power to the Princess.
Hold" she cried. Would you kill
your bride?" she said to the Prince.
But while the Prince did not strike he
still held the lion fast by the throat.
why should I spare the life Of this
brute, who has spoiled my weddingT'
he asked. And what do you mean by
asking II / would kill my bride. This
beast no doubt has MADE way with her.
and we have caught him; now he shall
diet
Again he raised the knife to strike
and the witch. this time touched his
hand with her cane.
The knife dropped from his hand, and
the Prince fell TO the floor which, Of
course, released the Princess or, rather
the lion.
1t did not take a second for the Prin-
cess to resume her own form. and the
witch pointed to her with her cane, and
told the Prince to behold his bride safe
and ready to marry him.
What does this mean?" asked the
Prince, jumping to his feet and looking
at the frightened Princess. who was
still trembling with fright
But the Princess was too upset from
her narrow escape to reply, so the old
witch told the Prince the story OF the
magic power, and when I heard she
was to be married this night" said the
witch, II came as fast as l could, think
ing she might be tempted to play a
trick at the wedding and come to
harm"
II do not want a wife that can change
as quickly as that from a sweet girl to
a beast or in fact that will change at
all, so ! will leave you TO your magic
power, and you can play tricks on
some one else" and with these words
the Prince started for the door. and
would have gone out II the witch had
not stopped him. The Princess tainted
when she heard what the Prince said
and the old witch told him to wait and
hear what she had to say when she re-
vived.
When the Princess opened her eyes
she looked at the Prince and said: II
was foolish to ask for such power;
had no thought of harm coming from
my Jokes, and ] never will do such
things again, and I ask the witch to
take this power from me-"
1T is gone already" replied the witch;
II took II from you when you changed
to your own shape; you can never
again be anything but a Princess"
win yuo forgive me now" asked
the Princess.
III YOU will always be your own
sweet self, and never change, l will for
give and marry you,' said the Prince.
So the guests were all brought back
and the wedding went on. and the Prin-
cess went away with the Prince TO his
castle.
1t was a long time before the Prin-
cess forgot the strong fingers that the
Prince clasped about her throat, and
how nearly she came to losing her life
and her husband
She does not care for jokes or play
ing tricks OF any sort. but is a sensible
woman, caring for her home and her
husbands happiness.

70 matter how carefully you
N examine the map of Europe
you won't find the little
kingdom Of Borrovinia- You've
| never heard OF II, you say? Neither
had anyone else untfl Anthony Haw-
thorne, American citizen, stumbled
across 1t while touring outside the
beaten paths of the Continent. and
told the tale of his adventures to
James Bernard Fagan, who drama
tized the story under the title "Haw-
thorne of the U. 8. A"
The Poll Players having selected
this piece for the opening bill of their
fall and winter season, all that re-
| mains for you to do in connection
with tha discovery OF this little
! kingdom is TO attend one of the per-
! formances at the Avenue playhouse
and be delighted by the adventures Of
the droll Hawthorne. his American
associates, and the Inhabitants Of
Borrovinis, whom they make over
almost as much as they do the coun-
try itself.
II is delightfully."- silly bit of work,
this Hawthorne OF the U. s. A. but
II is the kind of froth which comes Ike
a cooling draught during the early part
Of September, when most of US are re-
covering from an overdose of vacation
and feel as IL we didn't ever want to
go back to work. Its author calls the
piece romantic farce" SO / guess
that's as good a classification OF It as
any. Romantic II certainly Is, as much
50 as THE Prisoner of Zenda'' or
"Graustark'' or any OF the otner myth
cal kingdom stories of plays; and
again, II surely is farcical. Indeed, I
believe that the author started to write
1t as a satire on the other romantic
plays which have preceded II and. get
ting wrapped up in the Preparation of
the piece. changed 1t to a semi-serious
production. leaving just enough Of the
leaven of satire and the tang of wit
to make the whole concoction most
enjoyable. The result is one OF the
most pleasing plays seen in Washing
ton for a long time, as those who were
lucky enough to see the premiere of
the piece at the National only last fall
will remember.

CYCLISTS CLEAN UP BIG MONEY IN YEAR

What do the stars of the cycle track make in a season? That is a question that is hard to answer in this country, where no accurate account of
 the years winnings throughout the country are available. Then, again, the method of running the racing in this country where there IS so much teaming, makes it difficult for even the cyclists themselves to keep an account of their winnings, and after some of
 the races are finished 1t would take
 a gross of Philadelphia lawyers to | straighten the matter out.
 In Germany all records and winnings are compiled in a business-like way and the total of the principal winners, botE paced and sprint, for the last five years has just been issued and shows
 that some of the riders have made out very we'll.
 Among the paced riders that have visited Germany, the largest winner is
 Paul Guignard of France, who heads the list with $34, ,9S2. Bobby Walthour, the Atlanta, Ga, rider. is second with $33, 400 to his credit, while the other large winnings are recorded as fol- lows, Fritz Ryser $30 910, Piet Dicken man of Holland $2O, ,162. victor Linart
 Of France 17,812, Tommy Hall of
 England $17, ,615, Arthur Vanderstuyft of Belgium SIS, ,S35 Ivan Goor of Bel gium SIP, ,125 Karl Verbist of Belgium
 $11, ,564, Eugene Brurni of Italy $11, 800. Waiter who IS well knOWn HI
 this country, leads the German sprint
 CTS in point of winnings, his share
 being $19 325. Eugene Stabe is second,
 with $6, 105. The other large German winners are Oscar Peter, $5,43o, Willie
 Arend $4,43O, Bruno Wegener SALTS.
 Henry Mayer s4,1O0 and Willy Lorenz
 $4. 250.
 Among the sprinters that have vis- ited the land of the~ Kaiser, John
 Stol, the Ho11ander, has fared the best
 in the last five years In that time
 Stol has won $4,650. Thorwald File
 gaard, the Danish wonder, has an-
 nexed $2525 while the other visitors
 have taken away the follcff1ng amounts: Emanuel Kudels of Austria

 Cheerful Credit Is Increasing In Popu-
 larity.
 Always popular, Cheerful Credit is running a race with itself, breaking all records and daily winning a host Of new friends. The reason is not far to seek, for by this method of credit all who wish have the advant- age of purchasing all their wearing apparel at the department store of Caesar Misch Inc. This is practically an unrestricted buying opportunity, for nowhere are the new styles shown with the variety and elegance and quality of material that is to be found at this store. Every member of the family can trade with this store to advantage, for the various depart ments, ladies, misses, juniors, mems, boys and children's, are complete stores. Those who ask for Cheerful Credit have the purchases sent to their homes without the payment off any initial deposit, and the purchase price is divided up into small weekly pay clothing when bought from Caesar Misch, Inc, places no burden upon the buyer, for it Is fact that these small payments are not missed from the weekly income.

CONNIE MACK DECIDES
 TO GUT OUT SCOUTS

Connie Mack, the schoolmaster of the diamond, has startled the baseball world with the announcement that the names of scouts will be erased from the pay roll of the Athletics The tall tutor has come to the conclu- sion that the scouting system is an ad- ded expense and by no means the most practical way to bring young players into the major leagues.
 The system Mack plans to intro duce to replace his elaborate scouting follows the theories he has stood for in baseball matters since he began his career as manager He will devote his attention to trying out schoolboys and sand-pile phenoms instead of pay ing fancy prices for minor league stars recommended by scouts. Mack believes the scouting routine, from which little realization has been made, almost worthless in view of the fact that it costs the club $10,O00 annually in salaries to scouts alone in addition to. the sum paid for obtaining the youngsters releases from the club of which they are the property.
 Shibe Park will be a school for the cream Of the talent in college ranks and leaders in the back lot game the coming season. Assisting him in the work of bringing out new stars or athletes who may some day fill [he shoes of present mem mbers of his we'll balanced team Mack will have his first lieutenant Capt. Danny Murphy, and Harry Davis and Ira Thomas.
 Scouts invariably do not size up a player the right way,'' said Connie 'sThey keep constantly in mind their regulations as pickers. If a boy shows speed a good arm, scouts wouIdn think of recommending him unless he has a reputation and has had consid- erable experience. A HaJar1ty pf players the scouts are willing to recorn- mend are with minor league reps.

HUSBAND SEEKS
 TO OBTAIN DIVORCE

The filing of papers for divorce by Joseph BeJcze against his wife, Mary Sebastfnan, in the Superior court, re- vea1s a sad tale of ideals that were shattered. They were married in Varsay, Canton of Vesyprirn, Province Megye, Hungary.
 In 1906 the fever to acquire riches possessed the pair, and saving suffi- cient money to bring Joseph here, he departed, promising to soon send money for Mary's passage The days passed slowly by with correspondence at first frequent, then dwindling little by little, until in 1909 while Joseph was still sending money home, rumors came from the other side that Mary had met and loved another.
 Joseph wrote his wife: T have pros pered here, my dear, and am now ready to receive you in the new home which I have made. Remarks, how ever, come to me that you love and have possibly married another. I do not believe 1t. If your soul is still clean, come to me and bring our chill dren with you.' The letter never brought a reply
 The papers were filed yesterday through Attorney Abe S. Geduldig.
