One day the bushmar father came
10 get his child back, but IRA did not
want to go into the plains and live
wild life in grass huts. But the father
insisted, so that Mrs. Winston, know
inc she had no claim to hold the
child, sadly told IRA that she would
have to return to her father.
May, the baby of the Winston fam
lily, was but 8 years old, and IRA
seemed devoted to the child.
One bright afternoon IRA, feeling
sad about her having to return to the
fbushmeH, went with May on tramp
near the sheep field. They had
little basket of lunch, and IRA picked
ND a big red umbrella as she walked
through the hall.
That umbrella will only be in your
way. child" said Mrs. Winston, as she
nut a few more apples and cakes into
the basket and tucked May into the

would like to have it." With a bit of
wire she fixed it over the wagon, and,
taking the pole, started on the trip.
For an hour she walked, drawing the
wagon at her heels and Mrs. Win
ston, standing on her porch, could see
the red umbrella shining brightly far
away against the soft green of the
rolling fields.
Under a big tree the two children
camped and ate their lunch, then IRA
swung May in a grapevine till the sky
| began to darken.
"A storm is coming up, May" cried
IRA, beginning to pack up the plates.

So she put the baby in the wagon,
and, throwing the umbrella across her
arm. walked rapidly toward the house.
which stood on a hill at least mile
off. The sky was fast growing darker.
Black clouds stormed up in the west,
and out of their inky depths flashed
| the lightning. IRA began to run, but
the wagon was heavy. Then the wind
rose and blew so strong that it was
| hard for her to fight her way.
AS she prodded on against the storm
she heard strange sounds behind her,
and looking back saw a sight that
made her stand still with horror-for
far Off she could see a thin, dark line
looming across the plains, like the
waves breaking on the shore. 1t was
large herd of sheep that had become
| frightened in their distant grazing
grounds and were racing, mad with
terror, before the storm.
OF course sheep are not very large
animals. but when they come by the
thousands and rush over one, it would
mean death.
IRA knew this. If the mass of Wild
Fly racing animals reached them they
would be trampled to death. And just
then. to make matters worse, May be-
gan to cry. The girl dropped the UNI
brella and took the weeping baby in
her arms. She would save the little
one. even at the risk of her own life.
As she glanced at the red umbrella
lying on the ground an idea came into
her frightened brain-perhaps it was

THE BUBBLE" MANN'S LATEST
Long Successful Actor Appears At
Apollo as "0ld Gustave Mueller

No character actor on the American stage
has created "A more versatile and unique gal
lery of footlight portrayals than has Louis
Mann, whose latest success as Old Gustave
Mueller. the delicateSsen dealer, in THE
bubble. which will be seen at the Apollo
this Friday and Saturday, with Saturday
matinee, held the boards al the Booth Thea
tire. New York. throughout 200 performances
and appears to be the supreme climax of his
long career as an artist. Few playgoers
probably realize, despite their familiarity
with Mr.. Mann's more famous charaeteriza-
tions. that this actor has been upon the stage
for nearly half a century.
His latest creation of the old delleatessen
dealer, Gustaye Mueller, in The Bubble"
may be said to combine much of the very
best of all of his previous roles. The part
was written for him by Edward Locke. that
playwright who gave us such charming plays
as The Climax and THE Case of Becky, 3"
But Mr.. Locke had the expert cooperation of
Mr.. Mann in the inspiration of this eharac-
ter and its upbuilding, bit by bit. at each
successive reading of the play script and each
succeeding rehearsal.
One would almost swear, after seeing Mr..
Mann in the present role that the character
grew of its own accord out of his own inner
consciousness as the result of all his stage
experience. Mr.. Mann Celebrates every char
acter he creates even after the first perform
Ance of the play. Even as a painter Will
retouch a favorite canvas or a sculptor re-
model a great work of art" remarks Mr..
Mann, so an actor should constantly seek to
give fresh detail and strength to whatever
stage portrayal he undertakes. Il never feel
that have gotten under the skin of a part
until have played it before many audiences
and had the value of their response.

Buy it at home this Christmas!
Keep prosperity in Pleasantville 4!
What better slogan could we have for
a progressive community spirit? Ev-
erybody wants to see Pleasantville
prosper, and we all want to share in
the fruits of that prosperity. Even
the fellow who habitually sends out of
town for his own goods wants his full
quota of the riches that are accumu-
lated through the thrift and husband
ry of his fellow citizens. Producing
and selling the surplus abroad and
then keeping our money at home by
buying from home dealers will add
many thousands of dollars to the mon
sey in circulation in this community.
1t is the sure way of meeting prosper
ity with open arms and gathering in
our share and a little more for good
luck. Let other communities support
themselves. Our interests and our
duty are at home. Let's keep pros
perity in Pl~easantville.
