With the stores open only half
lday, it becomes necessary to get
names of the children to Good Fell
lows Immediately.
Just A Few Reasons.
! Here are some of the best reasons
in the world why the tribe of Good
Fellows in Washington should in
lcrease:
In the southwest section there is
a woman who has been Ill for
year. A daughter, who is old enough
to be a breadwinner. must stay at
home to care for the sick woman.
There are two grandsons, ages eight
and nine. A Christmas dinner and
some toys would be the proper thing
there.
On Seventh street northwest there
is widow sixty-four years old, who
lives alone. She is unable to work.
No Christmas cheer there without
Good Fellows aid.
Out on Thirty-third street north
vest, in a little log cabin, there is
an excellent chance for a Good Eel
tlow. The family moved there several
months ago when the physician told
the husband the sick wife and mother
fmust be taken where there is more
,open air. There is a boy fourteen,
la girl twelve, a girl six, and baby
hoy three months old Food and
clothing and medicine takes all the
husband and father cam earn. A Good
Fellow will have to furnish the
things to make a real Christmas in
that home.
Here's Another Case.
| There is another widow on l. street
southwest, with little girl and three
little boys. 1t is another job for q
Good Fellow.
In basement rooms on Third street
northwest. The father is past sixty
and in bad health. There are two
girls and boy, who would like to
see Good Fellow Christmas.
In the northwest section there is
a woman whose husband died three
months ago. She is old and worn out
from nursing her husband, who be-
came i'll during the influenza epi-
demic last year, then contracted
pneumonia and was desperately i'll
for six months before his death. A
Good Fellow can tell best what is
needed there after making per-
Sonal visit
These are typical cases. There
are dozens more. That is why you
should join the Army of Good Fellows
today by telephoning Main 5260, or
by clipping the coupon in today's
Times, or by calling at the Good
Fellow desk.
Wheel Chair Needed.
A wheel chair for an elderly
woman. a paralytic of three years,
who through necessity is left alone
in her little fOur-room home in
Georgetown all day except for two
hours, is urgently needed.
Mrs. w. T. Shipley, Good Fellow,
visited the little home on receiving
notification from The Times Good
Fellow department. She found the
woman seated by the window in a
straight-back rocking chair, alone.
Her husband, who acts as nurse, was
lat work. This old woman must be
fed, dressed, and assisted to bed.
She has no use or her body what
ever except for one arm.
Mrs. Shipley made ample pro-
vision in the way Of food and intends
to take a basket every day until
Christmas. She had. however, no

CHAPTER VII.
Ny Third Peril,

'Mr. Purvls" took his pay in salts
and stayed with us until my first great
adventure cut him off. 1t came one
July day when 1 was in my sixteenth
year. He behaved badly, and /, as any
normal boy would have done who had
had my schooling in the candle light.
We had kept Grimshaw from our door
by paying interest and the sum of $50
on the principal. 1t had been hard
work to live comfortably and carry the
burden of debt. Again Grimshaw had
begun to press US. My uncle wanted
to get his paper and learn, If possible,
when the senator was expected in
Canton.
So he gave me permission to ride
with Purvis to the post office-a dis
lance Of three miles-to get the mail.
Purvis rode in our only saddle and 1
bareback, on handsome white FLY

ing to visit me again, and why. above
all, should it have seemed to me that
| enough things were said and done in
that little flash of a dream to fill a
| whole day-enough of talk and play
and going and coming, the whole end
ing with talk on the haymow? Again
and again l have wondered about that
dream. 1 came to and lifted my head
and my consciousness swung back upon
the track of memory and took up the
thread of the day, the briefest remove
| from where 1t had broken.
l peered through the bushes. The
light was unchanged. I could see
quite clearly. The horses were gone.
1t was very still. The stranger lay
helpless In the road and figure was
bending over him. 1t was a man with
handkerchief hanging over his face
with holes cut opposite his eyes. He
had not seen my fall and thought as
l learned later, that had ridden away.
His gun lay beside him, its stock
toward me. I observed that a piece
of wood had been split off the lower
side of the stock. l jumped to my feet
and seized a stone to hurl at him As
did so the robber fed with gun in
hand. If the gun had been loaded /
suppose that this little history would
never have been written. Quickly l
hurled the stone at the robber, l re-
member it was a smallish stone about
| the size of hens egg. l saw it Craze
the side of his head. 1 saw his hand
touch the place which the stone had
grazed. He reeled and nearly fell and
recovered himself and ran on, but the
little stone had put the mark of Cain
upon him.
The stranger lay still in the road.
1 lifted his head and dropped it quick
ly with strange sickness. The feel
of 1t and the way 1t fell back upon the
ground when let go scared me, for I
knew that he was dead. The dust
| around him was wet. / ran down the
