FOREWORD
"THE DAREDEVIL" isn't
l. just an ordinary story

l. just an ordinary story
of a girl who masquer-
AIDES in mans clothing. There
is a vital reason behind it all.
It isn't all a lark, though
comedy turks on the footsteps
Of the stout hearted pretender;
an American father, a French
mother and quick sympathies
that link fatherland and moth
erland in love that braves very
real dangers for the safety Of
one and the honor of both. In
the story there is a most ire
sistible young man whose
name is Buzz and who lives up
to it. There is an irascible old
bachelor uncle, secretary Of
state to his excellency the gov
ernor of Harpeth, "the great
est gentleman in the world"
But, best of all, there is Ro-
berta, the daredevil" the
lovable heart Of a mighty lika-
bic story. You may be sure she
will captivate you, just as she
did those who knew her Sin
boots"

Grandma Smith,
House Burns Dowr,

The Fire Ladies'" were
awakened from their slumbers
yesterday morning about 500
o'clock, when the fire bell tolled
an alarm that brought them out of
the arms of Morpheus" and into
their clothes for a speedy run to
the fire house.
In a few minutes the fire truck
was on it's way to the fire, which
happened to be the home of
Grandma Smith, three mi es
southeast of town. By the time
the firemen reached the place
there was very little left to work
on. the flames having burned the
house to the ground.
The fire was caused by sparks
from the chimney which set fire
to the roof of the house, which
was built of lumber and contained
eight rooms.
At the time the fire occurred,
about 500 a. m. Grandma Smiths
son, William, and his family,
were up and preparing breakfast.
The flames spread so rapidly that
they were unable to save clothing
or household furniture, all of
which was consumed by the
flames.

Feel Worse After Vacation

The change from outdoor activity of
vacation time to the quiet of regular
employment sometimes makes one feel
heavy and ''stuffed up. uncomfortable
and bilious, with mean headache, a
nervous unrest and thickly coated ton
que. Instead of complaining that "a
vacation does no good" it is better to
remove the trouble, which usually is
the result of indigestion. Foley Cathsr-
tic Tablets give quick relief with no
unpleasantness or costive after effects.

Young Girls Enjoy
a Slun,ber Party

Friday evening, the girls of
the younger set gathered at the
home of Miss Bernice Sowell, ar
rayed for a slumber party.
At 900 o'clock dainty refresh
ments were carried out on the
lawn and formed a very enjoy
able part of the fiesta during the
evening until the "wee hours of
the morn"
During the evening many ex-
citable things happened, which
made Olga and Dona wonder if
they were really safe outside,
but encouraged by the other girls
bravery, they finally consented to
stay.
For a few minutes all was
quiet, then the girls were dis
turbed by a terrible noise, which
proved on investigation to have
been caused by a punctured tire.
Luckily, the boys in the car
proved to be watermelon mau-
rauders, and they kindly donated
a large melon to the always
hungry girls.
The next morning found all the
girls extremely jolly and anxious
to relate the experiences of the
night.
Those present were: Misses
Olga Young, Hazel O'Bryan, Lii
lian Graham, Lettie Higgins,
Mona Smith, Dona McInroy and
the hostess, Bernice Sowell.
