CHAPTER VI
Fierce Fangs Goes Tumbling


DILLY, with Peggy on his back, crept
ID like a circus tightrope walker along
rhe swaying lasso, stretched across the
moat from the castle wall to telephone
pole on the opposite bank. Step by
step he felt his way along. Near the
center of the moat he swung back and
forth, y and Peggy thought they would
surely tumble into the deep water be-
meath them.
y To ada to their peril, there broke
lupon the air startling creaking and
clanking. 1t was Giant Fierce Fangs
letting down the drawbridge. 1t was to
bt race across the moat.
Billy tottered for a moment, then the
birds steadicd his arms, he got back his
balance, and fairly ran along the rope
Until he reached the telephone pole.
With Peggy still clinging to his shoul-
1ers he slid to the ground, and looked
i anxiously around for a way to escape.
AS he looked he saw Balky Sam coming
up over the edge of the moat. The mule
was being boosted out of the ditch, by
fhe Giant of the Woods. Balky Sam
4had a hard struggle climbing up, but
3ihe gained the top just as the draw
llbridge banged into place, and Giant
Fierce Fangs leaped upon 1t,
Billy threw Peggy upon Balky Sam S
back, vaulting quickly up behind her.
'saway went the mule, ant( away chased
Giant Fierce Fangs after them. And
Natter Giant Fierce Fsngs raced Billy
Goat and Johnny Bull. who were
4 thrown out of the ditch by the Giant
OF the Woods.
1t was mad, mad chase. Balky
Sam was swift of foot, but Giant Fierce
Fangs was even swifter. The monster
I cowboy had long legs and he made
them fairly fiy in his eagerness to cap
ture Peggy, his expected bride. Through
the Charming City, back and forth
among the houses, and then out toward
the rocky hills, rushed Balky Sam,
lodging this way and that. And right
At bis heels, stretching out q grasping

Galloping toward the rocky hills,
Balky Sam suddenly saw something
ahead which nearly made him drop in
his tracks. Peggy and Billy saw it at
the same moment, and they gave them
selves up for lost.
What they saw was empty space be-
fore them. They were dasbing straight
for the top of tall cliff, and beneath
that cliff was a deep, deep chasm.
A daring plan flashed into Billy S
head.
Down, Balky SAM he shouted,
and Balky sam dropped as i shot, right
Peggy sprawling beside him.
Giant Fierce Fangs was coming along
ina mighty rush; he thought sure he
had them. At that moment four things
happened to Fierce Fangs. He saw the
yawning chasm beyond the cliff and
tried to stop; one leg tripped over
against Balky Sans body :, the other
leg, as he tried to brace himself. was
nipped by Johnny Bulls sharp jaws /;
Billy Goat, coming mp behind hit him
like cannon ball The result was that
Giant Fierce Fangs went stumbling and
plunging over Balky Sam and right over
the edge of the cliff. Down, down he
went. bouncing from tree to tree and
Dusn TO bush until he landed, bruised
and sore, in big evergreen tree far, far
below.
Peggy was safe from him. She had
been rescued by Billy. her hero lover,
just as Red Beard, the movie dirctor,
had planned for his story.
And here was Red Beard now with
his camera. His woeful look was gone f;
his face was beaming with pleasure.
'Hurrah Hurrah That will make
dandy moving picture" he cried. "I
got every bit of il with my camera. It's
better than my regular troupe could do.
I'm glad they caught the measles"
And now that Peggy was safe, she
was glad, too, for at last she was a
movie heroine.
"Nextsveek," began Red Beard.
Next wek----" But the rest of what
he was going to say was lost to Peggy,
for just then the City Charming van
ished and she found herself at home in
bed

CURTIS FOLLOWERS
 EXTOL HIS ABILITY
Think His Record Should Give
 Him Victory at Polls

Because of his long and honor- able record of public service, the candidacy of Alderman Orson r. Curtis for the republican mayoraltv nomination is meeting with the hearty approval of those who are :r- puainted with his untiring efforts according to his campaign support CTS To bring his qualifications to the attention of the public his fol- lowers have issued this statement:
 Time has a habit of slipping by unnoticed, and no doubt there are many who do not realize that for twenty-five long years MI Curtis has continuously devoted the greater DOT ton of bis time and energy in the interest af the city.
 During the many years that he has held public office in New Dlit- ain. it is a conspicuous fact and ono which merits the consideration of all citizens, that Mr. Curtis has at all times taken an active part in the solution of the endless stream Of NcNinS problems which confront the city government. For eNamplc, at the present time Mr. Curtis is rendering vigorous and efficient ser\- icc as president pro tenl. of the common council and as chairman of
 
 mayor and she board of aldermen; he IS member of the finance, li- rcnsc aud salary committees of the common colmcil: he is chairman of the special committee on water supplies, mem Der of the special committee organized to make ar ranScmcnts for building d city ga- rage where all city owned cars will be cared for and repaired at much less cost than was possible in the past. d member of the committee which is inaugurating a systematic valuation Of property for the city's grand list; and finally, city rep resentative on the Soldiers Mem orial committee, Mr. Curtis has been en- trusted with a duty which is close to cNeryOne's heart.
 Thus Mir. Curtis is not, and never ! has been, one to sit back and let l else bear the brunt of the 1 work. On the other hand. Mr. Cur tiS record plainly shows that he has 1 taken an active part in the solution 1 If every important question which 1 has confronted the city during his l long term of office, and has devoted l himself unsparingly in advancing l every progressive movement which |

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1920.

America is without a ceremony be-
fitting Armistice Day. This is perhaps
natural; we are not nation that
turns readily to formalities. Yet is
the hope expressed that another year
may witness growing sense of the
solemnity of this day when guns ceas-
ed to boom over large part of Cen
trail Europe after four long, anxious,
heart-breaking years, and that the
right services will gradually be devel-
oped to be shared by all. Meantime,
all eyes were turned on last Thursday
to those moving ceremonies in Paris
and in London. The body of an un-
known poilu was entombed beneath
that arch of victory, the most cele-
breathed of the modern world. And in
Westminster Abbey, toward which so
many American feet have trod in pill
grimage, the body of an unknown
British soldier was laid at rest with
every military honor.

Commenting upon stock market
conditions as they existed at the close
of business last Saturday, the Balti-
more Evening News of Monday morn
ing, contained the following relative
thereto: Some of our esteemed con-
'temporaries find it extremely hard to
become reconciled to the election.
But when they undertake to make
capital out of the course of the stock
market, they are going far afield.
The stock market, for many weeks in
a slump, has gone down rapidly since
Senator Harding's election. But, had
the market started upward, had the
spectators made money on that side,
we know what would have happened.
The charge then would have been that
Big Bushes was in the saddle; that
1t was going to run the Adminstra-
ton; that, knowing where it was 60
ing to get off, it was in for wild
plunge. The market is doing moth
ing more than discounting the de-
fiation that must still come-a defia-
ton that neither Republican nor
Democratic Administration could pre-
vent. When that process is finished,
We shall see it begin to discount in
another way the prosperity that will
come from lower price levels, from
sane business administration, from
public confidence, from cooperative
work in Washington, and even from
satisfaction with desire on the part of
a President for normally, something
that seems particularly to excite an
ger on the part of many of his oppo-
nents."

THE WEAVER OF RUGS.

The Weaver of Rugs has dreamed a
dream
And brooded the summer through;
With tender love He's plotted His
theme
And now His dreams come true.
He's spread His carpet over the hills
Soft is it's silken sheen
Or red and the color or daffodils,
Of rose and orange and green.
And a patch of blue rejecting there
The color of autumn skies;
The pattern vague, but beyond COM
pare
Are these clear, mysterious dyes.
Its knotted warp in the ground below
Holds close its shimmering pile,
The Weaver of Rugs has dreamed it so
And this is its Masters smile.
The Weaver of Rugs has dreamed a
dream
And brooded the summer through
Over the forest, field and stream
And now His dreams come true!
