GOOD BILL AT THE GARR1cK.
Miss Zelda Sears proved decidedly
clever in her new act "Stung," which IS
one of the features of the Garrick bill,
I'd the opening performances yesterday
afternoon and last night The act is
one which calls for quick wit and firm
ness. and Miss Sears demonStrated the
fact that she has both. She was sup
ported by a good company aud all did

The bin Is good an the way through
however, and there are several cons

This is a musical comedy that is mag
niicently staged. There are 10 people IN
the company, most of whom are pretty
ana talented girls while there are also
a number OF clever men. The various
FuiYland characters are all portrayed
most atcentably The voices are splen-

Miss Maymc Gchue was good i'm her
musical comedy sketch. iE which she

amusing comedy sketch entitled, "The
parson and the Girl" Both are clever

This business was planned by its
founder, William NJ Kennard, whose recent
death has removed from the business circles
of Wilmington one of its Oldest members, ON
such high ideals as seldom attempted in
any business. Years Ago, before the agita-

the head of this firm was already in the
forefront of these reforms. The continual

ideals laid down by its founder, backed by
the services of the most intelligent and IoyaI

as in the past to make this business a stand

character not unlike the shipping

Long time ago the deer had no horns,
and the top of his head was as smooth
as the does head is today. He was
good-natured fellow. who liked to
show all of the other animals how fast
he could run and how far he could
jump.
Now. the rabbit was also a great
runner and good jumper. and he
liked to tell about what he could do
whenever he could get anyone to
listen.
One day tho rabbit was smiling
around Mamma Bear. as she was
taking the last OF the corn cakes out
of the fire. and begging for some of
the hot and crisp pieces of the edge.
Give me two pieces. and l will
show you that can jump clean over
your fire." said the rabbit.
II declare" said Mamma Bear. If
you don't stop bothering me I'll pick
you up and hold you over the fire until
all of your fur is singed OIL"
Catch me hrst!" said the rabbit.
and ran away to see what other mis-
chief he could get into. After the
rabbit ran OF. Mamma Bear sat down
and thought out plan to stop the
rabbit from boasting any more Of his
speed. She folded up her apron and
went to call on the Great Beaver.
81 think we ought to fix up race
between the rabbit and the deer" said
Mamma Bear. ''and offer a grand prize
to the one who wins. II we do that. l
know that the deer will beat. and l
won't have to listen to Mr.. Rabbit talk
about himself"
And know just the right prize to
offer to the one who wins" said the
Great Beaver. II will tell my son to
whittle out a fine pair Of horns. and
then will set them up In front OF my

BEANS OF MEXICO
Not q Bean at All, but Species Of
FruIt-Queer Antics Caused
by Caterpillar.

You may have noticed among arti-
cles offered for sale at a bazaar some
curious little three-eornered objects
that keep hopping about as II alive
They are called jumping beans.
though really they are not beans at
all, as you can tell by their shape
They are the fruit Of tree growing
In Mexico. four OF the so.called
"bepns" forming one fruit. which splits
open and divides as 1t dries.
While the fruit is still young and
soft. a tiny caterpillar eats its way
through the skin to the inside and
takes possession. 1t gradually eats out
the whole OF the inside of the fruit
and of course grows larger. Mean
while the skin has hardened into a
thin but strong shell, and the fruit
having divided has fallen to the
ground. The caterpillar is thus shut
into strong prison.
Mexico being very hot country. 1t
will make a difference to the temper
ature of the shell whether 1t falls into
n shady nook or Is left out in the open,
exposed to the sun. Now, though the
caterpillar cannot see through the
walls of It's little house. instinct leads
It to try to get into some sheltered
spot where 1t will not be trodden on
or disturbed. The only way 1t can do
this is by knocking It's head against
the top of the shell and falling forward
whenever 1t feels the warmth OF the
sun.
1t takes long while to get over the
ground in this way, at the rate of
quarter of an inch each Jump" but
by dint OF perseverance a safe retreat

house. When the rabbit sees them he
will want them, and we can get him
to race with the deer"
so that's settled" said Mamma
Bear, and she went back to her fire.
Pretty soon the chipmunk came and
told Mamma Bear that Young Beaver
had finished the horns. and the chip
munk took q stick and drew in the
ashes a picture OF fine. spreading
pair Of antlers.
Sure enough, the rabbit wanted the
horns as soon as he saw them.
II thought maybe they would look
we'll on the deer" said the Great
Beaver. But after he had sat and
smoked for a while. he said: III tell
you, the thing to do is to fix up race
between you and the deer. and the one
who beats shall have the horns!"
So, the animals all got together and
fixed 1t up to have the deer and the
rabbit run through thicket and back.
They were to start at the same mark
when the Great Beaver thumped his
tail hard on the water. "Plomp!" like
that. and the first to get back should
have the prize.
While every one was admiring the
horns, the rabbit said. 81 don't know
this part Of the country, SO I'm going
to take a look through the bushes
where we are to rum" They said that
was all right, but he was gone SO long
that the fox said he must be up to one
of his tricks.
"Ill go and see what he Is doing"
said the fox, and pretty soon he came
back and said that he had found the
rabbit gnawing the bushes and clear
ing a path to run over. When the rab-
bit came back at last to start the
race, the Great Beaver told him that
the horns would go to the deer. for
they could not allow tricky fellow
like him to try race for them.

daughter would be caught in 1t. When
the fight on the Interurban Railway
had first started, at command of the
boss, Jack Durken, ward heeler.: ap-
parently had gone over to the enemy.
The man had found employment in
the circulation department OF the
News, and soon afterward the infor-
nation reached Wright that one of his
own employees was former henchman
of the notorious first ward leader.
Mike Noonan. Durken was loud in
his denunciations of David Kerr and
his followers, and appeared willing to
betray whatever he knew of the meth
DDS of the gang.
The editor found him fountain Of
information regarding the shady poll
tics Of Belmont. In reality Durken told
only what David Kerr ordered him to
tell. Wishing to establish Wrisht's

eyes dilated with her look Of hate.
Then they narrowed to cruel sits,
while a tremor ran through her body.
One who knew the girl would scarcely
have recognized her. Like some 1.-the
creature Of the jungle waiting for the
kill, she seemed to crouch for the
spring. Just as the woman was about
to utter the words which would reveal
where the newspaper man was con-
cealed, Gloria was upon her. She
seemed with one bound to have leapt
the space that separated them.
"You Jezebel!" she ragged. and struck
her fair upon the mouth.
Ryan and Kelly did not stir. The
unexpected had happened. and they
we're spellbound.
Gloria's breath rushed through her
teeth with horrid. kissing sound. her
face was flushed, her hair touseled,
and her waist in disarray. Yet she
needed nothing but tie wild impulse
to defend her own.
Little Ella, her scant strength all
spent. gasped out that she would tell
nothing. Gloria was beside herself
and the promise meant nothing to her.
With a mans strength she lifted the
woman up, held her there an instant.
and then hurled her back upon the
bed. Her head fell over the side, and
she lay as one dead.
Her rage was still hot upon her as
she turned to confront the two men.
"As for you. get out"
Ryan made one last half-hearted
stand.
"Say. the boss hates that man. Are
you really Dave Kerr's daughterT
"And you need to ask such ques-
toni" she stormed. ASK Mike Moo
nan II you will. but beware Of David
Kerr! II ever you have cause to fear
him. you have 1t now. My anger is his
anger, and don't you dare defy the
daughter of David Kerr!"
She took a step forward menacing-
ly. as II she had strength to inflict
the same chastisement they had seen
administered to the woman. They
did not stay to argue with her. Leav-
ing Little Ella to her fate, they made
a hasty retreat.
No sooner were they out Of the room
than Gloria put into execution what
she had designed when they departed
the first time Rushing to the door
she closed 1t hastily and pushed the
washstand in front of 1t, wedging 1t
under the knob. This done. she ran
back and dragged Wright from his
hiding place. There was no thought
of the woman whose head hung over

fashion
Gloria lifted his head and dashed
water upon his face. She watched
him closely. and as she saw that 1t
had no effect upon him. sudden fear
seized her and her cheeks were
blanched. With trembling fingers she
tore at his shirt and felt for the beat
of his heart. She could feel Its faint
pulsation. He lived.
With wild cry she flung herself
forward in a deep swoon upon the
body Of the unconscious man.
