Molly g1eefu1ly nodded her head.
 Did you forget that you were going to the club dance with me?' he indig- nantly went on, feeling like shaking her.
 This time Molly shook her head, her eyes gleaming with deviIment, and from Fern, still on the stairway, there arose wild peal.
 Bert closed the library doers.
 'sI forbid it,'' he commanded
 The change in Molly was SO abrupt that it sturtled him into barking his other shin. First of all she threw open the library doors, knowing. however. that Fern by this time was back in the boudOsr.
 You may do your forbidding to MT. SIedge,'' she told him, with blazing eyes You were thoughtful enough to consider seriously sending me to him, and now whatever follows is up to me I ana going to the theater to- night with MT. Sledge.''
 Molly, Molly, dollyr' shrieked Fern, half running and half pumping down the stairs. Run to the window, quick and sec the paradel O-o-o-oh. It's coming herey'
 Molly laid aside her just indignation for a monent, feeling intuitively that g Sledge miracle was some place in the neig k@~shood. and glanced out of the window, as Fern, gurgling inco- herenfiy3 flashed by on her way to the door.
 Up the winding driveway, one fol lowing the other, were two of the most beautiful little colonial coupes in the world, such cars as would make any girl go stark bowling mad with ecstasy. They were exactly alike. ex- cept that the one in front was hung with lace and fImy red silk curtains, and the other had blue with it's fluffy white. Both the cars were empty, ex- cept for the hard featured men who were driving them, looking as much ont of place as a coal beaver in a lin ger1e bonnet
 ''The blue one's miner exclaimed Fern, dancing up and down in a de lirium of joy as Molly joined her at the door. through the hangings of which the girls now peered out in frantic fnpatience.
 "I wonder what brings them here ?'' speculated Molly, dreading the worst
 ''I don't careY' returned Fern. 'sThat blue cars mine, and I know it. Molly, do you really suppose it could be a presentY'
 Certainly not" decided Molly promptly. "Oh, but aren't they ex- quisiteY'
 Exquisite? They're the dearest, sweetest, darlingest little things I ever sawY' cried Fern. .'The only thing that's missing is that there should be a band leading them. Say, Molly" and there she sank her voice to a gigg1ing whisper, "Ill bet you that Sledge''-

VIVIDLY DESCRIBE
MEMPHIS WRECK
Disaster to U. S. Warship
Which Killed Many Due to
Undersea Eruption
By Associated Press

New. York. Sept. 9.-Vivid descrip-
tons of the marine phenomenon which
caused the destruction of the United
States armored cruiser Memphis, with
the loss of about forty of her crew, in
the harbor of Santo Domingo, on Au-
gust 20, were given to-day by witnesses
of the disaster who had arrived on
the steamer 1roquois. The conjecture
that the disaster was the result of an
undersea eruption was strengthened by
assertions that nothing resembling a
gale accompanied the sudden disturb
ance
The theory that the big seas which
tossed the 20,000-ton warship on the
rocks was caused by an undersea shoe k
transmitted from a disturbance on the
preceding day at Dominica, British West
lndles was advanced by Captain Theo-
dore De Booy, of the American Indian
iieNe Foundation, an eyewitness of
the catastrophe. This theory, said
Captain De Booy. is borne out by the
.fact that Dominica lies east -southeast
or Santo Domingo and the seas threw
the Memphis in west est-northwester!y
direction ashore.
The strange phenomena" he said,
was absolutely new to the experience
OF all who beheld it. including the ma
tres of the island. accustomed as they
are to outbursts of tropical storms
1t had been blowing a hurricane from
he southeast for two days, but on the
morning of August 20 the sea was
calm and there was no wind. Then
the sea became suddenly turbulent
Fhe roadstead became an angry mass
of foaming waves in which no small
craft could live.
Waves Break Over Tunnels
As the fury of the marine disturb
ance increased the Memphis was seen
to be dragging her anchor and grad
uallN being driven ashore. Finally q
wave that seemed larger than any that
had preceded it lifted up the warship,
held her on its summit for a moment
and then dashed her down on a sub
merged reef within 200 yards of dry
land. From the after ventilators of
the cruiser was pouring a cloud of
steam. Immense waves were still
brei, king over her. some of them as
high as the tops of her tunnels, and
the Memphis was showed ashore until
she was only fifty yards away. An i'm
proNised breeches buoy was put in op-
Grafton and the men on the wrecked
ship were brought ashore, some of
them terribly burned from an explo-
sion of her boilers"

numbers, indicated no unusual or
particular causes for the increase.

Japan Wants Her Military
Advisers in Chinese Towns
and Teachers in Schools

Peking. Sept. 9.-In addition to de-
manding police power in South Man
churia and Inner Mongolia as one of the
terms of the settlement of the incident
at Cheng Chiatun, in Eastern Mongolia.
Japan, it was learned in Government
circles here to-day, also has secretly
suggested to China that the employ
ment of Japanese military advisers at
the large Chinese centers and of Japan
ese instructors in the Chinese military
schools would be highly desirable.
The Chinese press says that the
granting of the Japanese demands
would mean the abandonment of Chinese
sovereignty in Inner Mongolia and in
South Manchuria.
China's dependency upon Japan for
money, 1t is maintained in semioffical
quarters, renders her unable to ignore
either the Japanese demands or sug-
gestions unless financial assistance is
found elsewhere.
