FATHER KNTCKERBOCKER GIVES MIX WARM WELCOME
S of Mary Miles Mnter

Tom Mix, the Fox movie player, is in
New York city enjoying his first visit to
the big town since he became famous and
prosperous on the screen.
Mix arrived in New York CITY from Los
Angeles several days before the big fight
at Jersey City. On the morning of the
fight, several hundred children lined up
at a pier on the Jersey side where the
boat was to dock which carried Mix from
the New York side to the Jersey coast.
Mix was standing on the bridge waving
his hat as he neared the pier. The chill
dren nearly scrambled on the boat before
Mix could land on the pier. The movie
player was dolled up in his western garb
In which he is so often seen on the screen.
This pleased the children.
I noticed that Mix remained on the
pier until he had taken hold of tne right
hand of every youngster. Yet I'm un-
able to say which was the happiest--the
star or the children.
Mix had the right dope on the fight as
he picked Dempsey to win from the very
first. United States Senators, men of
wealth, actors Of the stage landed at the
pier, but the children had time only for
their favorite-Tom Mix. The Riddles
shot questions at him about his horses,
his guns and his hat.
1t was pretty picture to see how Mix
warmed up to these youngsters-W. D. H.

muttered:

he looked at Proutt, the trainer, and
he looked back at Reck again. There
was something in Reck's eyes which
made him hot and angry; there was
a pleading something in Reck's
slowly wagging tail. And
Westley turned to Proutt, cool
enough now, and he said:

And of a sudden his heart could
beat again.
For they came to where the buck
had been lying, to his bed, still
warm. And Reck passed over his
warm bed, where the deer scent was
so strong the men could almost catch
it themselves; passed over this scent
as though it did not exist, and
swung beyond, to the right, and up
the slope. The buck had gone for
ward and down.
"He's not after deer" said Sala-
dine.
They knew what he was after in
the next instant, for wings drunmed
ahead of them, and four partridges
got up, huge, fieeting shadows in the
darkening woods. And Reck's nose
followed them in fight till they were
gone, then swung back to Westley,
wrinkling curiously, as though he
asked:

A Miracle of Old Peru

I 0NG ago when Peru was jewel
in the Spanish crown there lived
in that country negro of such re-

rivaled those of the best white saints
of his time. Fearing for the suprem-
acy of his race, the Spanish bishop
took the precaution of forbidding
this dark-skinned saint to give any
further exhibitions of his power, an
order which was accepted with the
humility that marks the real saint
of every age, land or color. Now,
the Spaniards built a cathedral in
Lima, and during the building of

straight away from them along the
slope. And Proutt cried trium-
phantly:
"a deer, by God! I said it! /
told you so! Shoot, Westley! Damn
you, shoot"
Westley stood still as still, and his
heart was sunk hundred fathoms
deep. His hand was shaking and
his eyes were blurred with tears.
For Reck, who had no rightful con-
Germ with anything that roved the
woods save the creatures which go
on wing, had marked deer. Enough
to damn him! Had hunted deer!
He tried to lift the gun, but Sala-
dine spoke sharply. Hold on!
Look at the dog. He didn't chase
the deer"
Westley realized then that Reck
was, in fact, still marking game,
moving slowly on ahead of them.
But Proutt cried: "He's smelled it,
He didn't see it go! Or there's
another aheadv'
"Hs didn't chase ths deer" said
