Bedtime Stories
What Was Mrs. Bears Secret?
BY Thornton W. Burgess
Who leso4vs the secrets of a Bear
VIII guard then, suith the greatest
care. old Granny Fox.

Mrs. Bear had secret. 1t was un-
der the great windfall deep in the
Green Forest. At least, this is what
Reddy Fox said that Granny Fox had
said. Reddy told this to Sammy Jay,
and this was just the same as telling
everybody on the Green Meadows and
in the Green Forest.
"I don't believe it myself" said
Sammy, as he told what Reddy had
said that Granny had said. "To be
sure, it is queer that Mrs. Bear per-
windfall, but what secret can she
have there? I don't believe there is
any secret. Old Granny Fox is just
guessing"
Granny says that wise people will
keep away from that windfall," spoke
up Peter Rabbit. "She's keeping away
herself and she's keeping Reddy Fox
away. She says that as long as Mrs.
Bear has that secret it won't be safe
to be around there. She talks Just as
If she knows all about that secret, but
she won't tell what it is. Here she
comes now. You ask her, Sammy Jay"
Sure enough, there was Old Gran
ny Fox trotting toward the dear Old
Briar-patch. When she reached the
edge of it she peered in through the
OIdmDieS at feter Rabbit and grlnnad.
That grin of Granny's always makes
Peter feel uncomfortable. 1t did now.
why, Peter" said Granny, "I'm
surprised to find you at home.
thought you would be so curious that
you would be over in the Green For
est calling on Mrs. Bear"
What is that secret Of Mrs.
Bears" demanded Sammy Jay from
the little tree in which he was sitting.
What secret? Has Mrs. Bear a. se-
cret?" asked Granny Fox, pretending
to be greatly surprised.
HUH" cried Sammy Jay. "Just as
II you don't knowl What is the Sc
cret, Granny Fox?"
THAT is for you 70 find OUT" re-
piled Granny swcetly. "You have
eyes to see and ears to hear; 90 and
use them" And with this Old Granny
Fox grinned again and trotted away.
Sammy scratched his head. II was
over there when Granny Fox was and
SO were you. What coul, she have
seen that we didn't" said he to
Peter.

Red Cross Majors British
Flag Torn and Trampled
Raiders Who Snatched Emblem
From Boston Mans Window
Ignore CHALLENGE

BOSTON, March 27.--A British flag
flying with the Stars and Stripes from
window at the Clarendon Street home
of DR.. Maynard Ladd formerly major
in the American Red Cross, was torn
down and trampled in the street to-day
by some men who had been watching a
parade in honor of Lord Mayor O'Cal-
laghan Of Cork, Ireland. Neighbors
rescued the flag and took it in to DR..
Ladd.
He went to the door, holding the flag,
and asked that those responsible for
the incident make themselves known.
No one responded and he nailed the
flag back in its place.
Police dispersed the crowd without
making any arrests.
DR.. Ladd said the flags had been
flying together for several months.
New-York tribune., 1921-03-28

Peter scratched his head. II haven't
the least idea," said he. ".She won't
admit it, but it is perfectly clear that
Old Granny Fox knows something
that we don't. i didn't think she had
sharper eyes than yours, Sammy Jay"
"She hasn't" snapped Sammy.
"She hast" cried Peter.
"She hasn't!"
"She hasl"
"I'll match my eyes against her
eyes any day." Sammy Jay was be-
coming more and more indignant. If
there is one thing on which he prides
himself, it is the sharpness of his
eyes.
"Then why didn't you see what
Granny Fox saw" demanded Peter
triumphantly.
II don't believe Granny Fox saw a
single thing I didn't see," retorted
Sammy Jay. II don't believe she dis
covered any secret, at ALL" And with
this Sammy few away. And the funny
thing about it is that he was partly
right and partly wrong. Granny Fox
hadn't seen anything that he hadn't.
Nevertheless, she had discovered Mrs.
Bears secret. Can you guess what it
was7

Wen-Meani'sg Coney Visitor
Ciues Frankie a PieIess Dnv
Lifelong Resident Of Island, Who Has Spent Six
Years Crawling and Toddling Into Its Every Nook
and Granny, Is Hailed Before Police as Lost Child

Estimates Of the crowd at Concy Isl-
and yesterday ranged from $4,000 to
10000. All estimates included frankie.
frankie, like the hot dog. is indigenous
to Coney Island. Unlike the hot dog
frankie does not hibernate. He is about
six years old and shas been exploring
Coney Island ever since he was able to
crawl.
Everybody at the Island knows
frankie. Some of them just call him
"that Dago kid" and take no interest in
him unless he tries to swipe'a handful
of peanuts or penny squaker or levy
tribute upon whatever wares they offer.
frankie does this quite as a matter Of
course, regarding the Island as his pc
his subjects recognize his right and
call him frankie.
Nobody, except perhaps his relatives,
bothers with Frankie's last name. Even
the pieman opposite the police station,
who has been feeding frankie a pie
about p. m. every day since frankie
was able to walk, starting with custard
pie and working skillfully up to mince,
has to confess that he doesn't know
Frankie's last name. But all his sub
jects, loyal or rebellious, admit that
rankle KNOWS loC more ABOUT the
Island than they do.
Police Captain Shocked
It was somewhat Of shock, there
fore, to Captain August Kuhne when a
rather severe looking individual who
wore morning coat, gray trousers,
striped with lavender, spats, ribbon
on his eyeglasses and an expression
of profound sympathy on his face.

Would Block Inquiry on
Hylan Administration
Public Service Institute Writes
Governor Miller Proposed Ac-
ton Is Not Necessary


The Institute for Public Service.
Though it's director, William H. Allen,
yesterday sent to Governor Miller and
the members Of the Legislature COM
munication objecting to the proposal
for legislative investigation Of the
Hylan administrations The epistle
said, in part:
IF conditions are tenth as bad
in this city as was asserted last week
in the Citizens Unions appeal for q
legislative Investigation, surely there is
evidence that can be obtained in fore-
noon by complaining citizen agency,
political party or newspaper. Rec
ords are public.
"The proposed investigation of New
York City's charter by the Legislature
and by citizens of New York is In a
different category, because the remedy
for charter evils lies with the Legis-
iature. Legislative search for graft
waste or other incompetence within any
city which has the power to LOOK out
for itself is contrary to every non-po-
litical interest. There is no more rea-
son for legislative investigation Of
New York City than for such investiga-
tion of Albany or Watertown. It is no
mora logical for you to search for
waste here than for you to tell us
where we need roads Or buildings.
Local self-government cannot be en-
couraged that way.
If our school board is incompetent
the Mayor has the power to remove
members. If the Mayor fails to use
this power the Governor can, upon
proof Of the boards incompetence, re-
move the Mayor himself. If the Po-
ice Department has sdegenerated into =
,ehicle for honoring pull and indulging
rate the Governor may, upon obtaining
,roof, remove the Mayor for failing to
protect the Police Department and may
hen remove the Police Commissioner"

sausage sandwiches or indulge some
other vulgar appetite"
"You mean YOU thought Frankie was
lost?" inquired Captain Kuhne.
"Ah, you know him, do you 7" replied
the exquisite visitor. Doubtless it is
not the first time he has been aban-
doncd thus. Poor kiddie!"

Kuhne, who was somewhat preoccupied,
having only twenty-five extra police
men to watch the crowds. frankie
was born and brought up on the island.
Likely, If he was across the street. he
was waiting for the pieman."
frankie Misses His Pie
frankie nodded dismal assent and
looked longingly at the stand across
the street, which was just opening.
"Pie!" exclaimed his rescuer, with
both gloved hands appraised. "Pie for
this infant? And amid such surround
ings? My dear man, even If, as you
say, the child is an autochthon, his
parents are guilty Of ineffablc neglect
shall stay right here, in loco PARENTS
as you might say, until you summon
them. Pie!"
frankie said pie, too. He said il
many times and in many tones, ranging
from the pleading to the tragic. 1t was
of no avail. For the first time in four
years he had to do without his after
noon pie. When his mother finally had
been found and came for him she was
so exasperated that she took frankie
straight home, pausing only to inter
rupt the rather severe explanation rem
dered by the man in the morning coat
with an utterly devastating remark:
"Locoed parent" said Frankie's
mother, and she spoke with the convic-
ton Of one familiar with the como
tation Of tho adjective as applied in
truly woolly Western film plays.
