The Pirates
Cave

It was thoroughly understood when
Miss Nettie Shields. eleven years OF
age, was permitted to accompany her
sister Fanny. Of twenty. down to
Eagle's nest for Q few weeks stay
with their aunt, that the young miss
must behave herself.
Not that Miss Nettie Shields had
ever been arrested for her conduct.
but that she was needless and over
confident and almost satisfied that she
knew It all. II she went out for .
walk By herself she would follow .
hand organ or . IRE engine until she
got lost, and II she started for tho
park to feed the squirrels she might
bring up at the Battery to feed the
fishes. She had solemnly promised
to amend her ways and b no cause
Of anxiety to anyone. and she stuck
to that promise for all Of half an hour
after arriving at the manor house.
Then she met the coachman's son, .
lad Of twelve.
The city lass was looking at the
country lad with her nose In the air
and . plying expression on her face
when he walked up to her and said:
"You are not so muchy-much!"
IT am a hundred times more muchy.

cave
The limbs and briars soon made tat
tiers Of her dress, but II she thought Of
the financial damage she realised also
that one single ruby Of the bushels
in the cave would buy her many new
suits. No cave! No sign Of a cave!
A blue-jay now and then. and chip
munk now and then, and after an
hour the girl realized that she was
lost and had come ON FOOLS errand.
The thing to do was to sit down on
a rock and have good cry to try to
figure out how many days 1t would
take for a healthy young girl to starve
to death. Miss Nettie didn't do the
proper thing, however. She sat down.

and discovered her and began to bark
He had kept 1t up for two minutes
when q man not far away shouted:

Nero redoubled his noise. and pretty
soon q young man slid down the bank
with q crash and came to halt to ex-
claim:

"What kind of q man are you to

was demanded as the girl rose up.
"why-why, l thought it was IA
woodchuck!"
But 1t wasn't, you see!"
His cap came of and he gave his
name az Robert Bonham. Miss Nettie
could do no less than give her iden-
tity and explain how she came to be
a Babe in the Woods. She laughed
as she talked, and the young man
laughed as he listened. He explained
that he was also from the city and
visiting relatives, and was out on the
hills that afternoon for the sake Of
the tramp.
"Your name is Robert, but I shall
call you Bob" said the little girl. you
can call me Net or Nettie. OF course
you will see me homer"

The coachman's boy had returned to
hide out, and although Miss Nettie
, was missed and inquired for he gave
, no information until dark. Then there
was rumpus. A searching party
started out with lanterns, and the

been attacked by wild men and wild

Real motion pictures of the fighting
between the Germans and the allies
will be shown at the Opera House Fri
day and Saturday of this week. The
Opera House management and the
Augusta Branch of the Maine League
for National Defense worked together
to secure this privilege for Augusta
people. The Opera House manage
ment is always on the watch for such
first class features and the Defense
League is interested because the pic
lures show in a startling manner the
value of true preparedness for defense.
These pictures were taken by Edwin
F. Weigle, a photographer of the
Chicago Tribune who had the sanction
of the German general staff. He was
taken everywhere that he could go
without revealing valuable military
secrets and his camera registered all
that he saw. In speaking of his great
accomplishment, Mr.. Weigle recently
said:
Probably I was more fortunate than
the average war photographer because
l had been in the war zone previously
and had learned the many difficulties
which had to be overcome. When l
went over to take these pictures /
equipped by camera with a long dis
lance. telephoto tense. This enabled
me to take scenes at a distance of
nearly three -f1fths Of mile. l was
able to stand outside the lines of
fighting and photograph shrapnel and
high explosives as they burst in the
air and showered volleys Of shot into
the trenches Of the enemy.
