BACK In ZONE OF WAR

London. May oS-Sir Partab Singh, the
famous soldier of India, wants to die in
the trenches if he has to die. and al
though the Indian troops have gone from
France to other fighting zones, Sir Partab
has returned to the western front at his
own request.
This veteran Indian fighter, II years of
age, comes of the mighty Rajput war;
riOrs and since youth has followed the
life of soldier An Indian writer in one
of London's newspapers in telling the
story of Sir Partab says:

ASK you, Who doesn't envy
/ mother taking her little excited
family of children to the cir
Gus? And is there any one with
soul so dead~ who doesn't envy
the children, with their eyes as big
as blue china saucers, their cheeks
polished with soap and water and
their little sticky hands clutched
over the pennies they are going to
spend for pink lemonade, peanuts
and popcorn?
For years l had promised my
self day at the circu5 when l had
the time to take a little army Of
children, and during this vacation
my dream was realized.
There were six of us when we
started out-fve little bcaming kid
dies who had never seen circus
before, and myself.
I'm going to see the elufant,"
Harry, the Oldest boy, cried.
That's nothing" Billy argued, de-
liberatcly stepping on Harry's foot
as he said it I'm going to buy
the elufant, amin going to take
him home and keep him in the
garage. Amt I, Miss Nary"
At this the two little girls set up
wall of despair
"If Billy's goin' to buy the elu-
FAINT, were goin' to buy a Shetland
pony. Amt we, Miss Mary"
But US fellcrs is goin' to get
our elufant before you get your
Shetland, amt we. Miss Nary"
mo, US girls is goin' to get our
Shetland pony first, amt we, Miss
Nary" I
After six or seven more "Ain't
we, Miss MaryS?" l was no longer
neutral. Also, l decided that war
in the trenches could have been
neither half so combative nor stirr-
ing as that moment when the FIVE
children decided among themselves
who should buy the "elufant' first.
By the time the storm was over and
| could sec few rainbows in the
sky, my five charges and had
reached the circus grounds.
do not know how it happened
in such a short space of time, but
some one stepped on Billy's toe,
Eunice elopcd with a popcorn ven
der, Jack had lost his pennies and
was screaming at the top OF his
lungs, Kate had been terrified by
the roaring lions and Harry had
stampeded the whole army OF
clowns.
"Where did he go?' I cried in
terror, and dozen fingers pointed
in a dozen different directions.
After an exhaustive search, |
found him climbing up on the
monkeys cage, making faces at the
crowd that had gathered to look
at this bold little harum-scarum,
and was wondering with amuse-
ment to whom the tad belonged
By the time the parade was over, l
had counted heads, and, making
sure that a remnant Of each OF us
was there, l relaxed into a spirit

1t would take. a colored Sunday
supplement to tell all the rest OF the

to carry them, OF how Billy threw

caps, George Maluchiny, of Duncctt, near
here, was shot and killed by David Mil
Ter, a member of Troop c, State police,
who had been summoned by residents

ed him when the man had W. A. Banks
another member of the force. backed
against the house and was slashing him

OFF TO THE CIRCUS.

so many peanuts and so much pop
corn | feared / would never get
him home.
No longer do l say to mothers as
! see them starting for the circus,
" envy you, oh, Fortunate Ones!"
But l fly with unfaltering footsteps
to escape them for fear of being
asked to participate in such Roman
holiday.
Talking of circuses reminds me
Of an old man we have known for
many years. He had been very
strict father and had Bought his
children up to follow right and
rigid rules. They had not been al
lowed very much freedom and not
even the gala day Of the circus was
sacred in the family.
Il don't think much of circuses,"
the old man commanded, "and |
don't want my children to be vast
ing their time going to them"
The younger boys and girls were
afraid to disobey him, but the old
est boy was a born adventurer. He
escaped through the school room
climbed over the wall of the school
yard and, joyous with freedom,
made his way to the circus. For
carrying buckets Of water to the
animals, he was allowed to crawl
under the tent -.
And there, in the front row, en-
joying the circus more than any
one else, laughing and applauding
the clowns, gazing with wondering
eyes at the lying ballet was his
father, the stern old, cross old, dis
ciplinarian!
