PETE HAD OBEYED ORDERS
Literal-Mnded Soldier Came Near Get
ting His Commanding Officer
Into Bad Mess.

There is certain young officer who,
according to his own story, is thanking
his stars that General Pershing had
sense Of humor.
'Some of my men were Polish, and
better soldiers never lived, but / guess
in Poland life has been one long, sad
story" said the officer. Anyway, /
never ran across bunch who took
things so literally. One night the Ger
mans sent out three-inch shell that
landed square in the trench. In the
morning I told one of my men, Pete,
we called him, to take it away
"'Where shall take it?' he asked
"'Oh, anywhere I answered peev-
ishly, put it to bed in Pershing's
tent
"a little later brother officer came
along and said: The old man wants
you, and there's something doing
II couldn't imagine what was up I'M
til | stood before the chief. He eyed
me sternly and then pointed to his
bunk and would you believe it, there
was that blamed shell. Pete sure had
Obeyed orders. Well, thought was
in for it, but Pershing suddenly be-
gan to smile. He said: I just want to
caution you not to order Pete to cap
ture Berlin until the rest Of us are
ready to go with him. He might go
and do it, you know "-Rehoboth

DIME NOVELS COMING BACK
In Eighteen Months mick Carter
Has Had Sales That Have Been
Record Breaking.

Nick Carter has come into his own
again. The king of the '.paperbacks"
has made a record-breaking return to
popularity. About eighteen months
ago his sales began to mount steadily
until the entire supply Of Nick Carter
books was exhausted. says the Sun.
His return to fame was unexpected.
1t was not the result of an advertis-
ing campaign. for the publishers Of
the paper-bound books do not adver-
tise. They depend instead for the
sale of their books on the lists printed
liz the back pages of each volume
And Nick Carter was not the only
member of the "paperback" tribe to
return. All the old favorites-Laura
Jean Libbey. Bertha NJ. Clay. Mrs. e.
D. E. N. Southworth and Augusta ].
Evans-haye come back" surpris-
ingly.
Five years ago everyone was will
ing to predict that the movies had
killed the production of cheap books.
Thrills could be absorbed more quick
ly from the screen than from the print
ed page-and the price was the same.
Publishers of the paper books are
uncertain whether their old reading
public has tired Of the motion picture
or whether a new class of readers has
arisen. OF one thing they are certain,
though, the demand for the 10 and ID
cent book has increased fourfold. If
if were not for fhQ inofp9 sod cost Of
production these publishers would be
reaping the harvest of their lives.
Stories of American iife-as seen by
Bertha NJ. Clay and other writer's of
her class-and detective stories are
most in demand. Fortune-telling
books and letter writer's also have a
large steady sale. Dream" books
were never so popular as they are to-
day, their publishers say.

Jack Dempsey wrote his name In

than any Of his predecessors ever

that he is invu1nerable. What the
next year brings forth is a matter
Of conjecture. AS things stand

to hold on to his crown with care

to come. There are a couple OF
shadows on his trail, however,
which may dim his luster. One Of
them is q big black one by the
