amazement, made a slight movement

She was appealing to him as a

4Do NOT DESERT MEL"

Synopsis.-Thomas K. Barnes,
a wealthy young New Yorker,
on a walking trip in New Eng
land. near the Canadian border,
is given a lift in an automobile
by a mysterious and attractive
girl bound for a house called
Green Fancy. At Harris tavern
Barnes finds a stranded troupe
Of transforming" actors, of
which Lyndon Rushcroft is the
star and Miss Thackeray" the
leading lady. They are doing
hotel work for their board. He
learns Green Fancy is a house
of mystery. That night two
mounted men leave the tavern
under odd circumstances. One
is brought back dying. Barnes
comes under suspicion. He stays
to help clear up the mystery.
O'Dowd of Green Fancy says
that that place of mystery is not
concerned in any way. Barnes
gets into the Green Fancy
grounds and sees the mysterious
girl. She gives him the cut di-
rect and O'Dowd politely elects
him from the grounds. Enter

In the course Of time the party, trav-
ersing the ground contiguous to the
public road, came within sight Of the
green dwelling among tie trees.
Barnes interest revived. His second
view of the house increased his won
der and admiration. If O'Down had
not actually located it among the trees
for him he would have been at a loss
to discover It, although it was imme-
diately in front of him and in direct
line of vision.
De Soto was seen approaching
through the green sea, his head ap-
pearing and disappearing intermit-
tently in the pillows formed by the
undulatiilg underbrush. He shook
hands with Barnes a moment later.
I'm glad you had the sense to
bring Mr.. Barnes with you, ODowd,'
said he. "You didn't mention him
when you telephoned that you were
personally conducting a sightseeing
party. 1 tried to catch you afterward
on the telephone, but you had left the

Beetle of Remarkable Power Would
Make Man Much Trouble If It
Existed in Quantities.

Probably most persons who read
the. newspaper story of the discovery
by a Santa Barbara (Cal.l telephone
engineer of an insect that eats its
way through sheet lead thought 1t in
the same class with the ancient hoax
about "the worm that eats steel
nails" which was perpetrated about
a quarter Of a century ago and still
reappears at intervals. One of the
editors of Engineering News, however,
has seen the insects, a number OF
which are held in captivity in lead
boxes with glass covers, to see how
long it will take them to bore their
way to freedom.
The insect is a slender black beetle
about a quarter Of an inch long, with
hard wing covers and of innocent and
placid demeanor. 1t is said to light
on a ~lead-covered telephone cable and
bore a tiny round hole through the
lead sheath and the paper insulation
down to the copper. Possibly it be-
lieves the cable to be a part of a tree
or vine into which it is accustomed to
bore holes, and so 1T proceeds to bore
through the lead as it would through
the bark. Some persons think that
concealment is its motive; others that
the boring process is preliminary to
egg ~depesiting.
The lead borers have been heard Of
in South Bend, Ind, and Rockford,
Ill. in Omaha, Tacoma, Portland and

have been found in old lead foil tea
packages leads m to suspect that the

New-York tribune., 1919-11-23

with us tonight a gentleman who
has given the world storehouse Of
literary gems, but who has sheltered
his identity under a native and in
nate modesty from the applause
which he deserves; he has evaded
publicity with a timidity that at
times has aroused apprehension
among those who knew his secret
that all was not we'll. But it is
gratifying at last to know that
these clouds Of financial complica-
tion are now dispelled and that the
great unknown'-'the mighty magi-
cian'-the minstrel of our country,
who has conjured up not the phan-
toms of departed ages, but reali-
ties, now stands revealed before the
eyes and affections of his country
men.
"1n his presence it would i'll be-
come me, as it would be displeasing
to that distinguished person, to say,
if l were able, what every man must
feel who recollects the enjoyment
he has had from the great efforts
of his mind and genius. 1t has been
left to him, by his writings, to give
his country an imperishable name.

he was the author, the total and un-
divided author Of "Waverly," and,
with the exception of quotations.
there was not single word that was
not derived from himself or sur-
gested in the course of his readings.
He tenderly referred to Mrs. Sid
dons, whom he termed "the most
distinguished ornament of the
stage and recalled having seen one
of her early performances, when he
said: ut was only from witnessing
the effects of her genius that you
can guess to what a pitch theatrical
excellence can be carried. The
young fellows who had seen only the
setting sun Of this magnificent ar
tiste, beautiful and serene as that
was, must give the old fellows who
had seen Its rise leave to hold their
heads a little higher. The world
owes much to Mrs. Siddons, but the
stages debt is greater"
Thus the world, through the in
ception Of the actors fund, became
cognizant Of the authorship of a
series Of novels that will live as long
as literature is recognized az one Of
the parent arts Of the drama.

with Sir Walter Scott in the chair
and Lord Meadowbank on his right.
In making the opening speech to an
assemblage Of nearly three hundred
men Sir Walter stirringly referred
to the Importance of the drama to
the affairs Of life, how inseparably
linked was the stage to the public,
and the necessity Of the player in
the general scheme Of things. He
traced the history of the drama in
Greece, in France, in Great Britain,

ent to contribute literally to what I

that would obviate the necessity Of
having the decrepit or impoverished
actor becoming a public charge, with
the possibility Of ending an illus

chopped that the contributions made
from their superhuity would do
great good; that they would sleep
better themselves when conscious
that they were the means of giving
sleep to others. It is ungrateful,

Friday, December s, it is interesting
to chronicle the genesis Of the move

who have been unfortunate in the

While there were special theatri-

To Be Run BY Members

$50 far as possible this club, or
headquarters, will be managed by
the members-that is, enlisted men.
1t will certainly be an institution of
much greater practical value to the
nation than any other sort of monu-
ment that might be erected out of
gratitude for the achievements in
the war.
"It will create nucleus Of good
fellowship, fraternity and loyalty to
the nation, far exceeding the ap-
parent scope of the undertaking.
Boston already has indicated a de-
sire to put up a similar club for the
enlisted navy men, and other cities
will follow.

The Navy Club probably will quit

once into its new home.

'e Navy Club Is Fighting For Our Seamen

The club did for the sailors what
similar establishments did for the
doughboy, with this difference:
From the first the Navy Club
sought to make itself somewhat diff
ferent from others by turning the
management, so far as possible,
over to the men themselves. AS
Mrs. Hamilton expressed it, the
wealthy and prominent women back
Of the club were always ready to
help, but there was nothing in the
nature of the society woman dis
tributing charity"
Experience and observation had
convinced these women that the
American boy, in uniform or out Of
it, hates charity and will "steer
clear" of the places where it is dis
tributed
"Give an American boy the very
best in the way Of environment and
he will live up to it," became a slo-
gan of the club, ''but do not offer
him charity"
The idea Of managing their own
club took quick hold among the men
and soon no place in the city, of
similar character, was buster than
the Navy Club. There the visiting
"gob" found comfortable chairs to
lounge in, writing tables on which
to compose letters to his mother or
sweetheart, good food at low prices.
