ney jehu was going TO torpedo him and
shoWered him with sand. AS Hiekle did
not move the light from his neck the
pilot was afraid TO strike him for FEAR OF
starting fire.

light and was attracted to the scene. He

PHILADELPHIA SHRINERS
VISIT YELLOWSTONE PARK
Caravan Members Battle in Water 100
Degrees Hot.

OLD FAITHFUL INN, Yellowstone
Park, wyo.. July %. = Four hundred
Philadelphlans bathed in water of a heat
of 100 degrees, with the thermometer
around 60 and the altitude more than 1000
feet here yesterday. 1t was bathing day
for the Lu Lu Mystic Shrine caravan, and
the swim in the Old Faithful geyser pool
was thoroughly enjoyed after the ride
across the desert and dusty stagecoach
journey through Yellowstone.
When the Shriners reached "Hold-up
Hill' yesterday, the scene of the hold-up
here two weeks ago, they were bit
nervous. But United States cavalrymen
guarded the party on all sides, and not a
bandit was seen. The tourists did see
several bear, but they made no attempt
to attack the Philadelphlans. The
weather is fine for the Yellowstone tour.
The Lu Lu caravan will spend five days
in the park, going 164 miles by stage
coach

The Daily Story
Adopting Chubby

Chubby sat disconsolate on the front
stoop. On the other side of the street a
lot OF boys were playing fire engine-play-
ing Il with his express wagon, too, but
Chubby was not permitted to leave tho
yard and they had grown tired of fire
district confined to solemn circuit OF the
fiower-bordered path.
Chubby had vaguely intlmated that
presently Jane might come along with her
gingerbread, but they had not listened to
the suggestion. II they saw Chubby eat
ing gingerbread. they were prepared to
swarm back again, but, In the meantime
they preferred the opposite side OF the
street where Browns empty stable MADE
a splendid drehouse. and they could race
clear to the corner and back in answering
an alarm.
Chubby's plump face was drawn Into
the suggestion of a whimper as he con-
templated their treachery. But he was
too game to cry and presently the lines
relaxed, and Sue Sanderson, coming down
the street, received a smile in answer TO
her greeting.
"What are you doing here. all alone?'
she cried, briskly. why don't you play
with the other little boys, ChubbyT
His under lip quivered little. They
won't play in the yard and ma won't
let me play on the street" he explained
"They were here, but they took my
wagon and went away"
Sues face grew soft. Chubby's mother
was woman famous in the club world
She was too busy TO play with her little
boy. 1t was enough that he had plenty
of toys. She did not realize that an
express wagon is no good in yard 50
small that one cannot run with II. 1t
was enough that he had 1t. Sue rescued
the wagon from the boys. but the de-
sertion of his playmates still grieved
Chubby, and she took the disconsolate
little fellow in her arms and, sitting
down on the steps. proceeded TO tell him
a fairy story.
All her latent maternal instinct was
brought out by this forlorn little fellow.

vivid imagination. Albert Hickle believes
so. and 70 prove 1t he lay down In a
pile of sand at building operation near
East Girard avenue and Norris street
and thought he was at the seashore.
Near him there was a little pond made
of nearby red light darted over it.
Hickle thought he was at sea sure
enough. But he realized that craft which
might pass in the night would probably
not see things so vividly, and, to avoid
collisions while sleeping, tied the lantern
around his neck
A jltney pilot. who was chugging along
rapidly, saw the feet of Hickle sticking
