FOX AND MRS. MOUSE

n NE night when Mr.. Fox was
~ sneaIiing along by the barnyard
fence he heard a sound Of weeping,
and looking closer he saw a little
mouse with her children huddled up
beside the fence.
why do you weep, MADAME" in
quired Mr. Fox. "You, with your
small body and nimble feet, should be
able to escape all Danger. 1 am the
one who should weep, for the farmer
who lives here brought home dog to-
day and my life will hencefOrth be
in danger
Every time 1 come here for food l

Twins and More Twins
BeSiege Akron, Ohio

Akron, o., Sept. 23.-One baby

Mr.. Fox thought for a second and

ment on the League of Ma.
tiOnS.

SCSFudClOn has O60H IhIO"u luEO
the ranks of Republicans by the
epidemic of boiling among nota-
BILE leaders of that party for
the past few days.
The direct cause of this cpl
demic is Senator Harding's an
nouncement that he is for reject
ion of the treaty of peace with
or without reservations, having
been driven to this stand by the
threats of Senator Borah to de-
sert party nnless Harding took
this position.
The first G. o. P. leader to
leave Hsrding on this account is
Herbert Parsons, member of the
Republican State and Republican
National Executive Committees
from 1016 to 1920. Mr.. Parsons
said Il am for the League of Ma
tions. Cox is for going in.
Harding is not for going in, so
| am for Cox"
Close on the heels of Parsons
comes the news that Hamilton
Holt, Editor of the Indepen dent
Magazine, a Republican and Vice
Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of the League to enforce
peace, has deserted Harding to
support Cox and the League of
Natious. Mr.. Holt made known
his decision in a letter of con-
graduation to Mr.. Parsons, ex-
pressing the hope that VIM How
ard Taft, President Lowell of
Harvard, Herbert Hoover, Oscar
Straus and Geo. W. Wickersham,
other leaders in the League to
enforce peace, would follow his
action.
The next big bomb shell in the
Republican Party came when ].
O. Thompson, of Birmingham,
denounced his party as being
controlled by reactionaries and
came out for Cox and the Lea
que of Nations.
MIR. Thompson was chairman
of the State Republican COM
mittees of Alabama for eight
years, Collector of Internal
Revenue for nearly ten years,
and Referee of patronage under
President Taft. He was the the
Republican nominee for Cover
nor in 1920 and for Representa-
tive in Congress in 1918. He has
always been aligned with the
progressive element of the Re-
publican party.
The fourth serious fracture to
the Republican lineup occurred
when the Chicago Evening Post,
progressive Republican paper.
deserted Len Small, Republican
candidate for Governor of Hi.
nois, urged its readers to vote
for James Hamilton, Democratic
candidate. The Post is an en-
thusiastic advocate of the League
of Nations, and daily is expected
to desert the candidacy of Sena.
tor Warren G. Harding.
More OBJECTIONS from the Re.
publican camp are inevitable as
the pro-League Republicans
from day to day see this great
project flung deeper into the dirt
by their Presidential candidate

Democratic party for the success

from a gate that opened onto the
road

you suppose?" asked the woman.
"NO," said her husband. "The
man just managed to build such a
good chimney that the draft pulled
all of the structure up through it
and scattered it to the four winds.
Some day they will lay a large, fiat
rock over the chimney top and re-

D houseb0at after the fish spear he been filing that afternoon.
 "See y'u've moved" the Boss ob- served as the skiff slipped out into the stream.
 Mothers cough" was the answer. "She thought 1t would help her to get up there under the trees.'
 ''That cough--itll git away with Ter, if she hain't keerful. She oughta have medicine"
 q told her so, but she won't have it.">
 The Boss did not pursue the point. A wOman's will was something he never took the trouble to question. Having rowed out into the current, after the Pearlhunter secured his spear, he turned the nose of the skiff down stream and shipped his oars long enough to light his pipe.
 Mother hung back little right at the last" the young man said, his mind doubtless dwelling on the un- usual experience, the first experience in his life. of actually living upon land. "She was afraid somebody might not like us to move into the cabin. But told her they couldn't do more than make us move out"
 "Afear'd of tn Wild Man. wus she?"
 The younger man looked up.
 'Say, tell me about that Wild Man. She did mention him this afternoon"
 The Boss took the pipe from his lips and blew away the smoke in a slow cloud, as if wishing to proong the feel of it upon his tongue.
 "The Wild Man." he pondered. "a harmless oP cuss, an pitiful to see Seven year he's been in these Flat woods.

 The Boss went back to his pipe. The other sat pOndering what he had just heard.
 ''No, it wasn't on account of the Wild Man." he resumed. .as if in an swer to the Boss first question. "She was afraid somebody might make us leave"

the last of the moving was done. A purple twilight had given place to dark before he had the cabin put to rights, his mother in her easy chair, and supper on the table: a bass. taken from the nets only that morning !; fruit from the woods baked pota- toes: toast. crisp and brown: and tea, which she had left her chair long enough to draw.
 In the contented silence that often falls after the evening meal, the man sat covertly studying her face. The fever had gone. It was face almost serene. She appeared. as he watched the waterfall floating in through the open window upon the pulse of the night. The move had done her good. He thought how beautiful she must have been-how beautiful still.
 Her words that afternoon came back to him--the only word that had ever come to him out of the past. The desire to learn more grew in him. and vet he dreaded to speak. The Iron Gray-Woman was not one to invite condolences And yet man ought to know something of the manner of his coming into the world.
 The cabin had settled to deep quiet :: the lap of the waterfall had swelleG to full strength upon the silence :, when the cabin door banged open and | man stormed in. The Pearlhunter whrled up out of his chair and faced him.
 The intruder was man of forty, possibly more, lacking somewhat of the Pearlhunter's height and massive big man-tight and we'll set up smooth shaven, except for an aggres- sive mustache faintly shot with gray. He wore slouch hat top boots, frock coat, and a very fancy and much-be- lowered vest. His blue eyes-the kind of blue that turns black when roused-had an uncomfortable knack of seeming to see everything in sight. They were just now fitting furtively, bit cOptemptuously, .oyerfthe tall fg- ure of the young man facing him.
 You're; the fellow they call the PearlhunterT
 The gray eyes of the man addressed were blazing;. his fingers manifesting an almost uncomfortable inclination to tuck themselves into his palms; but he held himself and answered civilly:
 "They do call me that"
 "What are you doing in this cabin?"
 ''Is it yours?"
 "No difference whether it is or whether it isn't. It's no place for river scum to wash ashore"
 A stranger ought to be pretty sure of himself before he says thing like that, especially when he says it the way the Man-in- n-the-Fancy-Vest said it. He didn't know the Pearlhunter not as the river men knew him-Or he would have considered long time first Almost any river man along the Wabash could have told him that things would happen. Things did happen. Still, it probably would have been just the same anyhow. A wildcat couldn't have lodged the tOil-callOused fist that stabbed across the candle light. It caught the intruder flat in

I doubt if he ever seen it."
 The Boss let the oars drift whiio he turned his head and sat a moment sweeping his eyes up and down the dim, forest-b0und shore line. @
 '"rhem Warbrittons is remarkable race" he resumed. Fire eaters every one. Soldiers an fighters sence tn Lord knows when. In times long ago they wus clan.
