DRYS' LAST APPEAL.

Boosters of prohibition in New
York state offered the lawmakers
q ready made bill for a law which
would not leave a loophole for the
escape Of a snort of redeye. AS soon
as the lawmakers read and digested
the terms and penalties Of the pro-
posed measure revolution Of senti-
ment became pronounced, promising
an early grave for the "blue law"

light wines from the roster Of Gin

CHAPTER III.
The Queens Warning.
TRUE enough. Queen Flora was
i captive. The squirting,
splashing waters at the top of the
| fountain held her as securely as
though they had been bars of steel.
The queens dancing, which had
caused the Birds to think her at play,
was not really dancing at all-she
! was being tossed about by the waters
against her will.
Leap high, Queen Flora, leap
Hight" cried Prince Bonnie Blue
Bell.
Queen Flora leaped high, stream
in the center of the fountain giving
her strong boost, but her leap was
not high enough to carry her to free
dom. She was forced back.
tumbling down amid the jets of
water, which presently shot her into
the air again, turning her over and
over. 1t was plain that the queen
could not save herself.
MY poor queen! I'll rescue you!"
shouted Prince Bonnie Blue Bell,
stripping off his coat.
The rocky heap which formed the
base of the fountain stood In the
midst of a pond, with water all
around it. Prince Bonnie Blue Bell
boldly plunged into the pond and
swan to the rocky heap. There
however, he found himself baked
The water pouring down the rocks
from the fountain above made them
SO slippery he could not gain a foot
hold. Again and again he tried to
fight his way upward-and again
and again he lost his grip on the
rocks and was carried by the rush
ing streams back into the pond. He
became exhausted by his struggles,
but pluckily kept battling to reach
the queen until Peggy saw that he
was in danger Of being drowned.
Come back, Prince Bonnie Blue
Bell" she cried. But Bonnie Blue
Bell was ready to die for his queen
and did not heed her.
Billy Belgium was quick to act. He
still carried the clothesline which the
Birds had given him and Peggy a
lift. Turning it into a lasso by ty-
ing moose in one end, he skillfully
threw the loop over Bonnie Blue
Bells shoulders just as the brave elf
was sinking into the pond. A jerk
frightened the moose and then the
prince was quickly dragged back to
land. He was in despair because he
could not aid the queen.

OF that before?
Get the Key, Billy. We VIII turn
off the water" she shouted But
here Queen Flora cried a warning
from her watery cage.
Beware the dragon" she shouted
in tones Of fear. Beware the dragon
who guards the source OF the
fountain"
While they were still marveling al
this warning, Count Weedys ugly
features appeared at the top OF the
bluff overlooking the fountain. Ne

and he laughed mockingly.

Forty Stranded Sailor Boys
Find Refuge Saturday and

and Sailors Club.
SERVE BREAKFAST TOO
Hospitality Is Continued Sunday Morn
ing When Sailors Are Served Good
Breakfast BY the Boys--Praise Ke-
nosha Club and It's Leaders.

Stranded and no place to sleep but
the park, That was the situation
which faced forty sailors in Kenosha
Saturday night and it was the Soldiers
and Sailors Club that found the solu-
ton.
The forty homeless gobs, according to
the story of John Kelly, one Of them
had just about decided to give up the
perfectly good twelve hour leave they
had after they had made the rounds Of
the various hotels and found no place
to stay. 1t was little cool to sleep
in the park and more than that it
looked like rain and they were Just
ready to throw their extra shore
leave time away and take the last car
to the station when one Of them hap
pened upon Chester Morris, president Of
the Kenosha Soldiers and Sailors club.
He knew a way out. He opened
the little church around the corner,
and opened up supply room where he
issued out bed clothings and cots till
they gave out. Some of the jackies slept
on the floor and some of them had to
drape themselves on the pool tables but
they all had roof over their heads.
Then in the morning they had another
surprise when Morris and Charles Fore
burg, two Kenoshans who have been
leaders in the work Of the club in Ke-
nosha, treated the soldiers with rolls
and coffee for breakfast.
The forty homeless gobs liked It.
They liked it so well that they wanted
to thank Kenosha in general and these
young men in particular for the hospi-
tally offered them. Jackie John
Smith was deputized to DO the thanking
and he wrote a letter to this paper tell
ing the story.
This is not the only instance of
this, he said. !" President Morris and
Miss Dexter have always been ready
to help the sailors who found them
selves stranded here. I have been in
many military clubs in every port near
~ and know that the S'little church
around the corner at Kenesha is one
of the best in the whole country

ABANDON INsTALLMENT PLAN.
Hereafter Full Payment Must be Made
at Once by Kenoshans Adopting
French War Orphans.

The National Committee of the
Fatherless Children of France has de-
cided after much consideration that
the installment pla.n for making pay
|ments to adopted children can no long
Ter be continued. The full amount
($36.5o) must accompany each applica-
tion.
The reasons for this step are as fol-
lows: When a child is adopted or a re-
neWal is made, definite promise is Civ
en- to the child for support for year.
In several Of the large cities the chair
men who have worked Loyalty for three
years have expressed the desire to re-
tire from the work, and it is difficult
to replace them, since their duties
would consist largely in collecting pay
merlts due and overdue on adoptions all
READY made. The retirement Of the old
chairmen might mean failure to meet
the obligations already incurred.
Never has there been time when
this work is SO essential. The percent
age of substitutions due to the deaths
Iof the original children makes it i'm
perative more than ever the need of
helping the waiting children before 1t
lis too late. 1t is earnestly hoped there
fore that those who have adopted chill
dren on the installment plan will de-
wise some means Of raising the full
amount for their support for the coming
year.
This giving up Of the installment
plan causes great regret to both the
local and to the national committees,
bu circumstances seem to demand the
step.
