CHAPTER w.
The Escape,

Doggy was bit doubtful over
i Billy's wink when Penelope,
the girl in the tower. said she would
20 with them because the fairies she
had read about were always perfectly
prim and proper. Peggy thought
that Billy's wink was mischievous
and she knew there were times when
Billy was far from being perfectly
prim and proper.
But she knew, too, that while
Billy likes jokes and good time,
he was a fine. splendid chap who
could be trusted to do what was fair
and right, and she felt that taste
of fun and play would do Penelope
good instead Of harm. 1t was awful
to think Of any one growing up to
Is years Of age without single
frolic.
So Peggy. after moments
thought, made up her mind that she
would be like the fairy Penelope
thought her to be, and try to give
the captive the glad hour of free
dom for which she begged.
Penelope glanced at her wrist
watch.
'I have just an hour" she said.
This is the time when Aunt Pruc
and the entire castle household take
a perfectly prim and proper after
noon nap. I must be back when she
awakens."
Then hasten" cried Billy, leading

COLONEL HARVEY
OPENS CAMPAIGN
AGAINST LEAGUE
Declares He is Opposed to
the League as 1t Now
Stands
CONE SOUL, LOYALTY"
MY Country, My Whole Country
and Nothing But My
Country
''ONE SOUL, LOYALTY"

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Monday
The first salvo in the battle in the
Middle West against the League of
Nations was fired here tonight, when
George Harvey, editor and publisher
of New York city, in an address be-
fore the Columbia Club, denounced
the scheme. He declared he was op-
posed to the covenant as it stands;
that he was opposed to it as it may
be amended, and opposed to it in
principal, in theory and in pratice.
ga perfect parallel is this" he said.
"You have built up a great, success
full bank. Some other like institu-
tions, not so very near, are attacked
by burglars. You go to their assis-
tance, because you fear that if those
burglars are not stopped they may
rob you, too. You arrive in the nick
of time to help beat off the burglars.
"When it is all over you find you
have incurred heavy liabilities, but
your capital and surplus are still in
tact and your bank is the soundest,
the richest and most promising in the
/ land. Meanwhile those other banks
have suffered sadly. Two or three of
them are on the verge of bankruptcy.
You meet to consider the situation.
You have done your full part and
you are willing to do more. You will
extend loans, reduce interest, do any,
thing in reason.
>"Then somebody makes a proposal
It is that al the banks combine and
pool assets and liabilities-the assets
being yours, of course; the liabilities
theirs. There will be nine directors,
of whom you shall be one, and presi-
dent. They have the control; you
have the honor"
Mr.. Harvey reviewed the statements
Of William Howard Taft and other
advocates of the league and declar-
ed strongly against "entangling alli-
ances." He declared he would never
forfeit our right to maintain neu-
trality between any foreign belliger-
ents.
"But one soul loyalty!' he de-
clared. "But one flag! Does that
mean anything? 1t does to some. I

Denies Women the Right to

Electors
VOTE WAS 16s TO 4SI
Some Members Who Voted for
Original Measure Voted to Sus-
tain Governors Veto

By vote of 168 to 48, the Yer
mont House of Representatives yes
terday morning sustained the veto of
Governor Clement on S. 8, giving
women the right to vote for presiden-
tial electors, thus disposing of the
measure, which was passed over the
veto by the Senate Tuesday, in a
most unmistakable manner. The de-
bate on the measure, which came up
as a special order at 1920 o'clock
was brief and telling. 4
At the opening of debate, MI.
White of Woodstock tried to get -
measure put over as special order
for next Wednesday, in order that
more time might be given for study
of the matter His efforts Were fruit
less. He then opened the debate for
the passage of the bill. He spoke of
certain mysterious things which had
happened with reference to the hold
ing up of the ratification measure in
the executive chamber and said that
he thought that measure and this one
had been handled rather mysteriously
by the governor. He stated that the
best legal opinion failed to find any
thing unconstitutional in the measure,
and he urged the House not to be de-
ceived by this air Of mystery which
surrounded it.
The passage of the bill was also fa-.
vored by Mr.. Bond Of Searsburg and
Mr.. Austin of Highgate,esthe former
quoting literally from the constitu-
tion of the United States and from
the constitution of Vermont = to
show that women should nave the
same rights of suffrage us men. Mr..
Austin said that, while he voted
against the suffrage measure origin
ally, he would vote for its passage
over the governors veto because he
believed that the measure was consti-
tutional and that the governors veto
would not affect it one way or the
