under way in earnest.
Not only have party politicians.
actors, financiers, big and little men
in every walk of life, been forced to
come to the senator's shady veranda
to talk with him, but now a whole
ball club is going to be transported
to Marion because the nominee can't
spare the time to see game else
where.
1t was announced today at Harding
headquarters that on September 2 the
Chicago Cubs will come to Marion
and play a game with the local talent
for the candidates benefit. It's going
to be big day for Marion: the Cubs
are going to loan the Marionites a
battery to even things up, and Sena-
tor Harding will pitch the first ball.
Some time ago Senator Harding
was complaining to William Wrigley
and Ad Lasker, owners Of the Cubs,
and also Republicans, that he could
not see a ball game. The Cub owners
promptly set a date and ordered the
team here.
Senator Harding planned to spend a
quiet day today, putting the finishing
touches on his League of Nations
speech to be delivered Saturday and

Judge Elkus afterward that he was
rather surprised when everybody

1t had not been expected that the
Prince would speak, as the luncheon

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-Thefe is
sorrow in the heart OF every veteran
fre-fghter in Manhattan today and
thousands of "kids" will be equally
sad when they learn the reason.
Yesterday marked the end of the fire
horse in Manhattan.

day the few horses that remained
were formally displaced by machines,
the whole Manhattan service being

to station houses in the outlying dis
tricts where they will be allowed to
die Of lonliness for "big town" blazes.
There was a formal ceremony at
an uptown station house. with
speeches n everythin. The papers
called it a celebration, but the

the fash Of his teeth, and the square set
OF his head on his shoulders; they were
pleasant things to remember. The fact
that he had come to her in her dream
and had saved her from some unknown
terror had somehow created a sense Of
intimacy between them.
But Anne was young, not yet eigh-
teen, and in a few days she forgot the
impression that her dream had created.
Even though her life at home was gray
and uneventful, the sun shone and the
birds sang, and she was well and strong,
although she was not happy. She and
Cherry saw each other almost every day.

Upstairs she took of the white dress
and put II away. She undressed slowly,
paused a moment to look at her white
face in the glass, then blew out her
lamp and went to bed. She felt cold
and pulled tn. bedclothing up to her
chin. Her mind kept veerinR of into
strange channels, and when she finally
dropped asleep she dreamed Of bold
dark eyes, and farm that shut her
away from the world. She thought she
was there alone with Mr.. Snyder, and
that he was coming closer to her, that
he was going to touch her, and she
opened her mouth to scream. Then
John Porterfeld appeared suddenly, and
she, felt safe.
The dream was still with her when
she awoke the next morning; it haunted
her. For the first time Anne's flesh
crawled with feat Of the unknown, with
fear of her fathers power over her
with fear of what she might be made tc
do. Once on that farm alone with Mr.

devised as many tasks as she could Tor
posed to 20 near Orchard street, she
sought out Cherry just the same. Anne
had a surprising logical mind for
girl and she had reasoned the entire
matter out to her own satisfaction. She
saw no wrong in going to see Cherry,
and therefore she went.
It was late August now, and In Sep
tember Cherry was going to leave for
college. One afternoon, about a week
after Bill Snyder's visit, Anne, who
had been sorely tempted several times to
tell Cherry about the man, finally
plucked up courage to ask Cherry IL
she knew him.

A girl like yourself who truly wants
to go to college should be encouraged.

as an education such as II would ar
ford you, and broadening opportunities
of college life, are surely worth your
while. Don't mind the girls saying the
things they do and you can take gooo
care Of your clothes and look neat and
attractive by using very little money.
How long did you follow out what
your physician told you to do to get ria
OF the blackheads and pimpes? 1t is
very likely you did not obey his instruc-
tons for long enough time 1t Is not
safe to use patent medicine without a
physician's advice, as 1t might be the
very opposite of the best thing for you.
Steam your forehead, using a wash
cloth and water as hot as you can
stand 1t. Do this once, and then use n
good facial soap every evening, and n
cleansing cream in the morning. This
treatment will probably help you.

About eight years ago" says Mrs.
