BY Thornton W. Burgess

Through the Green Forest, deeper
and deeper into it, trottcd Reddy Fox.
He trotted along with the air Of one
having purpose, knowing exactly
where he was going and what Tor. Anc
as he trotted along Reddy's thoughts
were busy.
"If Peter Rabbit has been caught
by any one that one is most likely to
be Hooty the OWL thought Reddy
"Of course Old Man Coyote may have
caught him, but l don't think so. Old
Man Coyote has been sticking pretty
close to the Old Pasture of late and
Peter rarely goes there. Shadow the
Weasel may have caught him, but

time, and I am sure that I would

After while Reddy came to the
darkest, loneliest part of the Green
Forest, and then he began to move
very quietly. taking care to make no
sound and to keep under cover as much
as possible Straight toward certain
iall tree he crept. When he got where
he could see up in it he stopped and
looked long and carefully. Presently
he chuckled, but it was noseless

among the thick branches, sat tall

Of that, for it was the middle of the
morning and that is when Hooty

stealthily Reddy crept forward until
he was under that tree in which Hooty
was sitting asleep. Then Reddy began
to search about on the ground. Pres

Mrs. John A. Kennedy left her son
John, seven years old, in the corridor
of Fl West Thirty-fourth Street yes

purchases in the building. The boy
got into a freight elevator and started
it upward. In his effort to stop it or
get out he was caught between the
elevator and the wall at the second
floor.
His screams rang through the build
ing, and several of the fifty young
women employed there tainted. His
mother ran to the hall and recognizing
her child's voice, collapsed. The Fire
Department rescue squad was sum
moned and an ambulance was called
from New York Hospital.
1t took the firemen more than an
hour tc cut away the floor and extr-
cate the boy, who had lost conscious
ness by that time, but still was alive.
The ambulance surgeon attended his
mother and several other women. John
was taken to Bellevue Hospital. He
died soon aftcrward. His father is a

And Ransacks Her Home

Gagged While Her Parents
Are Absent

Joseph Antonnitchi heard some one
groaning last night as he climbed the
stairs of 101 Third Avenue to his
apartment on the third floor. The
sound came from the hallway on the
second floor, and there, outside the
door of her fathers home, he found
Jeannette La Forest, fifteen years old.
Her hands and feet were tied with
cord, rag was tied across her mouth
and she seemed semi-conscious. He
unbound the girl and carried her into
her home. Tho apartment was in a
state of disorder, furniture being upset
and tables and desk drawers pulled
from their reccsscs.
When the girl had been revived by
an ambulance surgeon, who dressed
some scratches on her chest, she said
that she was playing with her cat
when man who wore black mask
and carried knife walked in. She
fought with him, she said but was
overpowered and bound and gagged.
Her assailant threw her into the
hall, she continued, and after an un-
availing search Of the apartment for
money, departed by way Of the roof.
The girl is the daughter of V. Laforest
superintendent of several buildings in
the block. He and his wife were at

What Next?

Forty years ago we erected
galleries in the old one-story
freight depot which then
housed Our Philadelphia
Store, to create a floor to
enable us to take on the fur
niture business.
There were only two or three
little twenty-footfron furni-
ture stores in Philadelphia in
1880, and the extensive layout
and display of furniture under
our roof was an exciting wonder
to the town for long time.
At first we could not get any
thing but ordinary furniture, and
at one time we were on the eve
Of giving up the furniture busi-
ness because we could not get
any better goods. We actually
sold off every piece on hand at
loss and then started all over
again, demanding better wood,
better workers and materials that
had been shrunken at least one
year before tool touched them.
We never have been mere
dealers in articles which look
smart and sell easily at profit.
We tried always to get F. F.
+ for our patrons.
Furniture for Euturity
We know the whitcsmiths we
can depend upon to work on for
us, and we keep some of them

Worker Il Reasonable.

Nine thousand employees Of the Pullman car
shops have notified the management they are
willing to accept voluntary reduction Of 20
per cent in wages. Wages have increased
nearly 100 per cent in the Pullman shops in
tho last three years. The men believe that
with reduced operating expenses the company
will be in position to obtain more and. larger
contracts and that will mean uninterrupted
employment 1t is further explained in the
mons statement that they realize that war pay
cannot remain permanent, and that q the
prices Of living commodities gradually are re-
turning TO normal they must expect to see their
wages correspondingly reduced.
At Pullman the workers have a voice in the
management of the business There Is said to
be cordial relationship existent between the
workers and the oficerA All the cards arc
placed ON the table. The workers know what
the profits of the concern are, and they know
how far they can go in the matter Of wage
demands.
Every feasoner knows that present condi-
tons can't prevail permanently. There must
be break all along thu line But the attempt
to reduce the income Of the worker without
