and various other boyish treasures
had made their appearance. Lunch
added to their good spirits But Eliza
beth felt out of key and although usu-
ally she would have been happy at the
happiness Of the children and the sue
cess Of the picnic, she found herself
wishing for sunset. Once in q while
she would steal away from the boys,
playing In the woods, and wander out
to the edge of the great bowlder.
Perhaps" she unused to herself,
some silly Indian maiden once stood
here watching for her Indian brave,
whom she had foolishly sent away, and
that's Just what the silly girl de-
served"
Again her eye rested on a large pine
tree spread out in the valley below
her. She remembered watching 1t
sway in the breeze a year before, and
she idly wondered how many TRACE
dies and comedies 1t had witnessed In
its old life.
The boys, In spite Of their generals
preoccupation, enjoyed every minute
of their sensible" Fourth. When the
sun dipped suddenly below the oppo-
site hilltops, Elizabeth breathed q
sigh Of relief, but the boys begged for
little more time.
Eyes," said Elizabeth, I'VE will wait
here for my brother who's coming to
take us home" "Oh," she exclaimed
suddenly, II told him the other path.
Boys, won't two Of you go down the
path to the fork in the road and wait
there for Mr.. Tom? He thinks we are
on the other side of the valley. l wish
Captain Jimmy and Captain Peter
would please go. You don't know him,
do you? He's tall and looks a little
like me. Just tell him Miss Elizabeth
is waiting for him at the Indian stone.
Well have a game OF blind mans buff
till you come back"
A few minutes later Jimmy and
Peter encountered Robert Willis at the
fork in the road. Robert had travelled
many miles that day in order to keep
melancholy sort of tryst with him
self on the old Indian stone. He real
lied the foolishness of his action, but
he had made the trip nevertheless. He
had a vague, unacknowledged idea

His Excuse.

In his Savannah camp Bill Dono-
van. baseball manager, had a dusky
hued waiter at the hotel by the name
of Sutton. Bill had to reproach SUIT
ton more than once for lack of agi1-
ity in arriving with the food. Sutton
promised to improve. One morning
he brought in a consignment of grid
dlecakes that had gone cold.
What do you mean," said Bill, "bF
bringing me in cold cakes?"
We'll, tell you, boss" said Sutton,
II brung them cakes in so fast for you
that guess they hit a draft"

that perhaps some of Elizabeth's
sweet presence might have fingered at
their last meeting place.
"Hello!" said Jimmy in a conversa-
tional tone.
ooh" said Robert, suddenly awak-
ened from visions of soft, shining hair
blowing in the breeze.
"He's the feller," whispered Peter
brown eyes like Miss Elizabeth, tall
and all that"
Miss Elizabeth's waiting on the In
dian stone" volunteered Jimmy, and
he began to lead the way up the steep
path.
Robert staggered and turned white.
These rosy, brown-skinned, freckled
little faces belonged perhaps to sprites
or brownies who were teasing him. He
tried to catch one of the boys, who
bounced on ahead, thinking Robert was
making an attempt at some game of
tag.
IN get ahead OF them" he said,
rushing past the boys with hard set
face.
At the top of the path he turned to-
ward the Indian stone, and there in a
clearing he saw Elizabeth, blind-fold.

moment Robert threw himself into
Elizabeth's outstretched arms.
Five minutes later Tom, tired, warm
and little cross, walked upon the
scene.
II say, Elizabeth" he called through
the trees, "this is q nice way to treat
an obliging brother. You told me the

Suddenly Tom stopped. He saw

LITTLE GOOD IN FREE BATHS
City Controller Of New York Goes on

City Controller Prendergast Of New
York opposes Increasing free public
baths, strangely enough for former
progressive leader He is not one bit
impressed by the argument that baths
prevent lawlessness and raise the
standard Of morals. Il doubt" he
says, "if morals are as high today gen.
orally as they were twenty years ago,
before the community had any of these
uplifting facilities" Replying to a
question about cleanliness being next
TO godliness, he said that all that was
necessary was soap and water and the
inclination, particularly the last, which
the city, he thought, could not hope to
furnish.
Yet the civilizing influence Of soap
is traditional. The bathtub has been
exalted into a national ideal in. Eng
land and a national reality in the
United States. The backward peoples
have no baths. Physical cleanliness
must inspire moral and mental clean
Illness, not infalllbly, perhaps, but the
tendency, such as it may be, is that
way. AS to the inclination, may not
the city supply even that by offering
the temptation of bathing?
Aside from the question of morals,
how about health? Surely the con-
troller will admit that cleanliness i'm.
proves health and that is certainly a
function that the municipal govern.

watched her young soldiers scamper-

heard whoop of delight from Peter
Dolan. the first to reach the Indian
stone.

drops from her eyes, ''and Just de-

Putting feeling and sentiment aside.
Elizabeth hurried on and overlook the
boys. Then, standing on the very spot
where she and Robert had stood to-

to her small army.

JANE OS0OQN

l. EllZdDSLu, when the IOWu
4, council passed an ordinance
%s-BJ limiting the legal celebration
of the day to speeches, parades and
fireworks of " quiet and unexciting
kind, thought it incumbent on herself
to make life as bearable as possible
for as many as possible of the small
boys of the neighborhood.
She began with her Sunday school
class as a nucleus, and invited them to
D picnic; and each and every one of
them asked permission to bring a
small brother or friend. Her own
brother, Tom, home for q visit, prom
Used to come for her and help her
bring the children home at sunset.
Elizabeth, as soon as the morning
parade was over, started out undis-
mayed with some twenty irresponsible
boys in her wake.
''Now, boys" she said as she gave
(Gach of them a flag, paper drinking

the general, and I'll appoint the two
boys who behave best on the way out
captains to help me manage things.
You know, soldiers obey, and that's
what you must do"
IF we're soldiers, we can fight,
can't we?" demanded Peter Dolan, the
fierce light of born warrior shining
dn his red-brown eyes.
"Jimmy's cat ate my singin' canary.
You ought to have seen it--just two

Jimmy's placid round face darkened
into frown. Probably the canary

he kicked Peter.

headed young man, cor I'll"
"See here, boys" interrupted Eliza.
beth, we're not going to fight, and ii
you act this way I'll turn around and
go home this minute. Remember what
4 said about the captains"
Then and there, with the tact that
makes successful general, Elizabeth
decided that she would appoint Jimmy
and Peter, the two most unmanage
able Of her soldiers, captains.
The first real hitch in Elizabeth's
plans came at the fork in the road
Elizabeth started on the path to the
right; the two captains, voicing the
opinion of the whole army, advocated
the path to the left.

Jimmy, there's a rock out there
where the Indians used to build fires
for signals. Please let's CO."
And in the end Elizabeth found her
self mildly following her mutinous
army to the spot in the world where
she least wished to be. Just a year
ago today Robert Willis and she had
wandered up the same path. They
had stopped to rest on the famous In
dian stone, and while they were there
Robert had surprised Elizabeth by ask
ing her to be his wife. She had re
fused him, for she had not trusted
herself and had thought that the
