(Which is probably her name. You
might advertise"
Which Frank did, but there was no
results. He kept his eyes wide open
when on the street. He had longing
memory of the sweet face of this mo-
mentary acquaintance and believed he
could recognize her q square away.
Bertha Simonds, however, if that was
in reality her name, did not chance
to cross her path. He kept the papers
in safe pocket, ready to restore them
at moments notice to their rightful
owner. :
Over two months went by. Then the
vanishing hopes of Frank Mitchell
were reinspired. His ever alert ear
caught a fragment of conversation be-
tween two passengers. One was Wal
than of Waltham & Company. The
other had observed:

And the very next morning Franks
heart gave jump. The ideal of his
dreams stepped aboard his car. She
looked excited, she nodded to him and
smiled.

you remember was here before?"
"Yes, l know" announced Frank
promptly. "Did you lose something
that day, miss?"
Eyes, some papers"
II found them. I've been looking
for you ever SINCE" replied Frank.
"Here they are"
ooh, I'm so glad!" cried the girl ex
yesterday and 1 hoped there was some
way could get it reissued. How shall
1 ever thank you?"
''Don't try-it's pleasure" declared
Frank bluntly.
Miss Bertha Simonds was gone into
the brokers' office for half an hour. She
came out, radiant. She waited for car
one, which was Franks car.
"WOuld you be offended if I" she
began, half opening her hand bag, and
there she paused, about to speak of
money reward for the recovery of the
lost envelope, and added, "if 1 asked
you to come to our home and see how
happy your thOughtfulnesS will make
my dear old MOTHER" and she named
an address, and she said goOd-by, ex-
tending her hand, and it fingered mo-
mentarily in his glad clasp.
"Going up" was the estimable young
lady a week later, reminding Frank of
a promise he had made to show her
the city from the lofty roof of the
great office building.
"It's quite a view," explained Frank,
as they mounted to the little stairway
beyond the eighteenth floor.
She gazed from the roof at the vast
panorama. Nearer heaven how small
the world looks - she murmured.
you've said it," said Frank-"near-
err heaven, indeed, being nearer you."
and he told her how he loved her.

NOTE MADE ON SUNDAY VALID
Iowa Supreme Court Held That Coi-
lection Could Be Made on the
instrument.

A prOmissory note is not necessarily
invalidated if made on Sunday, the
Iowa supreme court decided recently In
ruling on the case of Fred Gooch, APP
pellant, against e. E. Gooch and l.. q.
Gooch of Polk county, according to the
Des Moines Capitol. If the maker OF
q note takes advantage of the fact that
it was made on Sunday to get out or
paying it, he Is using the law to shield
him in an illegal act which the law
does not countenance, the high court
declared.
Furthermore, If any interest is paid
or any other payment made on the note
on some weekday, that gives 1t full
recognition in the eyes of the law, the
court points out.

Children Swim in Delaware
DEPOSIT. N. Y, Aug. 4.-Ths third
party Of children to come TO Devereux
Home this season took its first
swim in the Delaware River to-day.
Four days ago these girls were sleep
ing with their families on the fire
escapes of their tenement homes, in
the public parks, or on the docks along
the water front, trying to escape the
heat.
Tonight they are sleeping in an open
air domitory, and are glad 10 cuddle
down under blankets when the mist
creeps in from the foot OF the noun
tains.
These children come from families
in which there is tuberculosis or
predisposition to it, and their three
weeks outing here in the foothills OF
the Catskills is giving them strength
and better blood with which to resist
the disease at home. Some Of them
have lost one or both parents. Two
little sisters-one of them a permanent
sufferer as the result of lack of medi-
cal treatment at the proper time-hav
no father or mother and 1.-Two with a
sixteen-ye married sister.
They were pale and lstless from the
heat when they came, but already they
have developed appettes and their list
lessness has left them.
Thought Berries Grew In Baskets
The eighty-six children were turned
loose in patch of wild raspberries
yesterday afternoon. 1t took few
moments for the youngsters to grasp
the attendants explanation that the
berries were good to eat, and that they
were not to be picked like flowers.
Then there was a wild scramble. In
almost no time the bushes were bare
and the girls came out of the patch
with scratches on their arms and rings
around their mouths, To-day they are
clamoring to "go on the mountains,
teacher, and pick more red berries"
They are happy all day long, and
only worry because their brothers and
sisters and cousins are still hunting a
cool place in which to sleep In the city.

Drama
"Mary's Ankle" by May
Tully, Starts New Sea-
son at the Bijou
THE CAST

"Mary's Ankle" according to the
most authentic information on the sub
ject, used to be a vaudeville sketch.
As a matter of fact, it still is. May
FULLY, whe wrote it, had a first class
farcical idea to begin with, but her
long association with the varieties was
her undoing. What might have been
a pretty good farce becomes merely a
piece of the rushabout variety,
equipped with cholerie uncle, a
nephew who passes a strange young
woman off as his wife TO appease said
uncle, one master coincidence and sew
eral lesser ones. a comic housemaid,
a boat, bridal suite, comic steward
and various other more or less popular
dramatic paraphernalia. The piece, on
the other hand, is brightly written and
was quite apparently relished by the
audience.
Miss Tully's idea concerns an i'm
peeuniOus physician and his two equally
impecunious friends, who conceive the
idea of obtaining pawnahle matter from
the physicians distant relatives by
sending them announcements of his
marriage to quite imaginary person.
Then and there the name and address
are invented, and one is subsequently
asked TO believe that identically such a
person resides at identically such an
address. In farce, of course, Miss Tully
might be spotted such a coincidence,
but it is bit unlikely that the young
woman in question would chance to
enter the Doctors office quite by acct
dent in both the second and third acts.
Even granting such a possibility, how
ever, ones eredulity is taxed ever so
slightly when the uncle of the young
physician and the aunt of the young
woman turn out to be old, old sweet
hearts.
The first act, during which the plot
it Matched, is easily the best of the
piece. Leo Donnelly did much to keep
the play moving at the required pace,
and Bert Lytell, while quite evidently
not at his happiest in farce, was agree
able as the young physician. Irene
Fenwck, who is featured IN the produc-
ton, was appealing as Mary Smith, and
Zelda Sears did everything but seem
plausible as a hypochondriacal land
lady. Walter Jones, also featured,
rendered the assistance that he has
given scores of farces, and Mae Mel
Vile had her humorous moments as a
maid of all work.
"Mary's Ankle" is quite passable Au-
gust entertainment, but it will never,
never do in September. G. S. X.
