and l had a liking for her from the
first. Her mildness and gentleness at
tracted me- She was never rough. and
she never fought. She always ran
away. and right here may be noted the
significance of the name Of her. She
was a better climber than LOp Ear or
l. When we played tag we could never
catch her except by accident, While
she could catch us at will. She was re-
markably swift in all her movements
and she had a genius for judging dis

daring. Excessively timid in all other
matters, she was without fear when it
came to climbing or running through
the trees, and Lop Ear and l were
awkward and numbering and cOwardly
in comparison.
She was an orphan. We never saw
her with any one, and there was no
telling how long she had lived alone liz
the world. She must have learned
early in her helpless childhood that
safety lay only in fight. She was very
wise and very discreet. It became
sort of game with Lop Ear and me to
try to find where she lived. 1t was GER
tain that she had tree shelter some
where, and not very far away, but trail
her as we would, we could never fn6
it. She was willing enough to join
with us at play in the daytime, but
the secret of her abiding place she
guarded jealousy.

of my dreams that I, the modern man,

Big Tooth and Lop Ear are chased into

him with stones and drive him away.
Lop Ear and Big Tooth make a crude

Red Eye started over to pick up Une
stick. Old Marrow Bone had tottered
into his way Red Eyes great hand
shot out and clutched the old man by
the back of the neck l looked to see
his neck broken. His body went limp
as he surrendered himself to his fate
Red Eye hesitated a moment. and Mar
row Bone. shiyering terribly, bowed
his head and covered his face with his
crossed arms. Then Red Eye slammed
him face downward to the ground.
Old Marrow Bone did not struggle
He lay there crying with the fear of
death / saw the Hairless One out In
the open space beating his chest and
bristling. but afraid to come forward.
And then in obedience to some whim
of his cratic spirit Red Eye let the
old man alone and passed on and re-
covered the stick.
He returned to the wall and began
to climb up LOp Ear, who was shiv-
ering and peeping alongside of me.

entrance. Red Eye was now several
yards beneath me. concealed for the
moment by an outjut of the cliff. As
he climbed his head came into view,
and banged a rock down. 1t missed,
striking the wall and SCATTERING. but
the flying dust and grit filed his eyes.
and he drew back out of view.
A chuckling and chattering arose
from the horde that played the part of
audience. At last there was one of the
folk who dared to face Red Eye. As
their approval and reclamation arose
on the air, Red Eye snarled down at
them. and on the instant they were
subdued to silence. Encouraged by this
evidence OF his power, he thrust his
head into view. and by scowling and
snarling and crashing his fangs tried
to intimidate me. He scOwled horribly,
contracting the scalp strongly over the
brows and bringing the hair down
from the top of the head until each
hair stood apart and pointed straight
forward
The sight chilled me. but l mastered
my fear. and, with a stone poised in
my hand. threatened him back. He
still tried to advance. IdrOve the stone
down at him and made a sheer miss.
The next shot was a success. The stone
struck him ON the neck. He slipped
back out of sight. but as he disappear

on the wall with one hand, and with
the other clutching at his throat. The
stick fell gathering to the ground.

I could hear him choking and strang-
ling and coughing. The audience kept
a deathlike silence. 1 crOuched on the
lip of the entrance and waited. The
strangling and coughing died down.
and I could hear him now and again
clearing his throat. A little later he
began to climb down. He went very
quietly, pausing every moment or so
to stretch his neck or to feel it with his
hand
AT the sight OF him descending, the
whole horde, with wild screams and
yells. stampeded for the woods. Old

SOME POLICE COURT CASES

A woman was in the police court
of Richmond this week charged with
trespassing on a. section in lakewood
cemetery, and with destroying flow
ers on a grave. 1t was brought out in
the testimony that the gafirve enclos-
cd the body Of woman, sister OF
the accused, who died two years ago.
1t appears that the woman went over
to the cemetery few days ago and
hired a man to cut the grass which
had grown rather high over and
around the grave. When he noted
that there were a dozen OF more
geraniums hidden beneath the grass,
he asked whether he should cut them,
TOO. He was told to go ahead and do
so. When the brother-in-law of the
accused, who is proprietor OF the lot,
learned that the flowers had been cut
down, he proceeded to have his sister
in-law hailed into court. Both he and
the woman persisted in asserting that
there had been no previous il!-fceling
between them. Justice Crutchfield
very properly dismissed the charge
against the woman.
This reminds US of similar. case
which came before the late Justice
Julius Pelton in Alexandria many
years ago. This, too, was the outcome
Of family jar. The father Of & fam

charge against the woman, assassin

government must follow, and it was
exactlv that which President Wilson
did. spursue, though the Colonel under
:pr res Of political exigencies has
since changed. When the invasion
took place neither Roosevelt, Hughes
nor the. Transcript entertained an idea
that the United States either could or
should have attempted to stay the
hand Of Germany after it had fall
an II was no more our business than
10 have interviewed against Austria in
favor of Serbia. Our right to enforce
the Monroe doctrine as to America is
based and conditioned on abstention
from interference in the international
politics of Europe.
Now for the Lusitania affair. Would
Mr.. Hughes dare assert that Presi-
dent Wilson had any grounds on which
to anticipate Germany's commission
of such an act, or means Of frustrat-
ing it other than he had already en-
,ployed even had he known that such
an atrocity was contemplated? his
horn-blower. The Transcript, imme-
diately subsequent to the occurrence
described it as unexpected and unpre-
cedented, and gave no hint that II
could have been foreseen or could
have been prevented by anything the
United States might have said or
done.
The advocates of Hughes, in the eX-
termity of partizan zeal, are making
him ridiculous. Is he a seer VINO can
foretell events? Is he a magician who
can divine by intuition the approach
Of a hidden thunderbolt and ward 1T
off by a verbal demurrer or a wave
of his hand? The people of America
are not ninnys to be fooled by vague
inaginings Of what might, could on
would have happened had Roosevelt
or Hughes been President during the
past two years. They know that those
wears have been Of fiery trial and
they know that Wilson has brought
them through the furnace unscathed.
They have peace and prosperity as
solid grounds to stand on; and they
will not be swift to exchange these
blessings for vain imaginings and vap-
>rous promises.

WHY NOT?

Alexandria possesses natural ao-
yantages of which any city might well
feel proud. Fortunately located
with splendid shipping facilities, both
all and water excellent schools and
churches, a cultured and refined citi-
kenship, past rich in history and
tradition, there is no good reason why
Ehis fine old Virginia town should
aot forge ahead and take command
~ position il, the march of progress
;ch every wide-a-wake city through
The length and breadth of the land
Is making today.
No town can stand still. 1t must
either go forward or backward, and
It remains for the community as a
whole to say which direction it shall
take. What shall the answer be?
Loyalty to its historic past, as well
Us an earnest desire for it's present
And future prosperity, should inspire
and prompt every resident to do al
6ns his or her power to support what
Ieyer effort may be made to advance
the city's interests, either morally
}or industrially.
In the opinion of the Gazette what
Alexandria needs today more than
anything else is Boosters Club
which shall include in its member
ship every citizen, great and small
Iand through which a broader spirit
sof progressive, community up-build,
Eng may be fostered. In other words
a combined unity of action for the adj
Eancement of Alexandria in every
Legitimate manner possible.
United action in other cities ha:
spelled success, and the, same result
may be realized here if our people vii
take advantage of the opportunity.
Is the motion seconded?
