TOo.WIT PREPARES JACK.

With Too-Wt flying over him over
head, Jack padded away toward the
shore.
Sure enough, there was the Puma
stealthily following along the beach,
his eyes fixed on the canoe.
Nearer and nearer Jack approached,
while the cxpectant beast crouched. wait
ing to spring upon the little Indian lad
as soon as he should attempt to land.
But Jack had no intention of doing
what Mr.. Puma expected. he was going
to fool Mr.. Puma most beautifully.
Closer came the canoe, and he could al
most see the cruel, hungry eyes OF the
crouching Puma. Closer still--and then
the paddle was quietly laid aside and
his trusty bow, with the sharpest arrow
drawn far back, was raised gently above
the edge OF the canoe. Up little more.

Once way up in garden tree
saw the "worstest' head;
II Just was grinning right at me
And laughed at what l said
II had a mouth and nose and eyes
All burning fire inside;

l though it best to hide.
/ was so scared ! cried, "Oh, dear
And grabbed my papa's hand.
And then he took me right up near
So | could understand.
And stead Of scared, l laughed instead
For there, where leaves were green
Was JACKIE lanterns pumpkin head,
And il was Halloween!

 If the roads persisted in their re- fusaI to withdraw these the media tors hoped to persuade the employees to consent that the demands of the railroads should be taken up inme- diateIy after the Board of Arbitration had decided the questions involved in the demands of the men.
 The Erie railroad last night con scented to abide by any award -the arbitrators might make, but if higher wages were granted the road asked the men to defer the effective date until January 1, 1915.
 The mediators held the first confer ence of the day with Presidents Lee and Garretson of the trainmen and conductors and the two Committees of five representing the labor organiza- tions.
 Mr. Lee today formally denied that at the conference last Monday he had declared that George w. Perkins made the Erie railroad come to terms with it's employees in 1910 or that he had mention J. P. Morgan & Company in his reference to the present control of the Erie.
 Judge William L.. Chambers, chair man of the board of Mediation, said the concession made by the Erie had 'c1eared the atmosphere.'

GHUIRO BURIED;
 BROTHER AT LARGE

With the burial in St. Michaers cemetery of Frank Ghuiro, shot at IF Wakeley street Sunday last by his brother who is now a fugitive from justice charged with murder. no new developments have arisen. Rumors today to. the effect that the victim might have been stabbed rather than shot are not credited by the police although a report that just after the pistol shot rang out a man was seen to jump from the porch of the house will likely be Investigated.
 Medical Examiner s. M. GarIick who performed an autopsy upon the body of Franb Ghuiro. asserts that though he carefully searched the remains for a bullet. none was found. There is a. slight possibility, however, that it may yet be imbedded in the softer tissues of the flesh. as it's course was most difficult to pursue owing to an operation made at St. Vincent's hos pital in a. hopeless effort to save his life.
 A reporter for The Farmer sent to the dead mans house today in an. effort to substantiate a story that the shooting was in an upper room rather than, in the basement apartment was shown over the entire house by the family and number of friends who. crowded the dwelling today. With the exception of a large b1oodstain in  unoccupied except for two Italian bIood-hounds who sprang viciously at, their keeper in an effort to reach the strangers, there were no visible marks which, would bear out the assertion that the victim had defended himself from attack.
 The nearest approach to such marks were in the upper chamber from. which it was alleged a man was seen to emerge with b1oodstained hands after the shot was fired. Here there were one or two indentations in the plaster which might have come from any cause.
 Although no trace has as yet been secured of the movements of the mur- derer after his flight, local detectives are convinced that the shooting was precipitated rather than by premedi- tatfon.
 At the residence those formerly held under arrest alleged that they will have been deprived of work unless the public are made to understand they are in no way held responsible for the shooting. Eugenio Muto, held as a witness Sunday, felt the odium cast upon those at the house and said that in many instances where foreigners take aliases it is because of such oc- currences in which the Italian speak ing people are not set right before the public after such an incident.
