EWA ~ FRANCES TREGo MONTGOMERY

In the firemen's bedroom, where
Billy Jr. had chased the mean fire
man, was an open hole with a
creased pole coming up through
the middle for the firemen to slide
down when an alarm of fire was
sent in. Billy was up the stairs
and into the room almost as soon
as the man himself, who in mad
haste made a grab for the creased
pole and down he went, leaving
Billy rather doubtful as to what
course to pursue; but quietly see
ing the impossibility of a goats
trying to slide down either a
creased or any other kind of a
pole, he bounded down the stairs
1gain. The fireman had to all APP
pearances disappeared, but Billy
shifted the air suspiciously and,
glancing keenly first in one direc-
ton and then in another, he soon
discovered his pet enemy seated
on the hook and ladder wagon. This
elevated position he wisely fore
bore attempting to reach and, in
stead, took up a position where no
one could enter or leave the engine
house without passing him, and
then he calmly laid himself down
and waited.
But the fates were against Billy
Jr. and he was obliged to give up
his position or get run over, Just
as he got comfortably settled, the
fire alarm rang out and each we'll
trained horse rushed to his allotted
place on engine, hose cart or lad
der wagon. AS Billy saw the en-
CINE speed away with his enemy
holding on behind and trying to get
into his rubber coat, he said, i
have been cheated of my revenge
today, but look out for tomorrow,
you red-faced lubber.' and with
this parting threat he trotted Off
to find his friend, old One-horn.
Just as Billy was coming out OF
the engine house he came upon an
old German couple leading a dainty
little Nanny goat by a string.
Now, it had been a long time since
Billy had met pretty Nanny and
his heart fairly thumped with JOY
as he pranced up to make friends
with her, but here is where he
made a mistake. In his joy at see
ing her pretty face he had for
gotten that he must needs be in
troduced before approaching a
strange Nanny. and this young
thing proved to be unusually timid,
so when she saw a big strange

and round by the cord, so that she
could not move and, being equally
as timid as her little charge, she
at last tainted and fell forward, on
the walk, knocking Billy off of his
feet and throwing Nanny down
upon her knees. When Billy saw
the mischief he had been the cause
of, and also saw the old woman's
husband coming after him with a
thick club. he wisely disappeared
round the first corner. bordering
in his mind over the foolishness OF
young kids in general and of this
one in particular.

THE ADVENTURES OF A .
LITTLE GIRL NAMED NARY

Once upon time there was a
little girl that was very poor Her
mother was dead and she lived with
her father. Her name was Mary
White and she was about twelve
years old. She did all of her IA theirs
cooking. cleaning and washing. Her
father could not afford to hire a
girl TO do his house work.
One day he went to work as
usual, and when he returned Mary
was no place to be found. He
searched the house from top to bot
ON but could not find her. He did
not know what to do because he
had no one to do his house work,
and he was also very sad for the
loss of Mary. He sent policemen
70 search for her but they couldn't
ind any trace of her.
Her father had almost given up
all hopes of ever getting her back,
when one day he received letter
stating that If he would put two
thousand dollars at certain place
they would return his girl In safety.
Mr.. White didn't possess that much
sFad hardly knew what to do about
it, when one of his neighbors came
to inquire about whether he had
found and trace of little Mary. and
after Mr.. White told of receiving
the letter and what 1t said, the
neighbor said he would lend him
the money. The neighbor was rich

any way. and he wouldn't have
missed the two thousand dollars,
but he trusted Mr.. White.
Mr.. White put the money where
he was supposed to, and the next
day Mary returned. When she
cav her father, she said, "Oh,
father where did you get the
money to pay those mean menu
Her father told how he got it and
she sent her thanks to Mr.. Wood
(the neighbor who loaned MI
White the money!.
Her father asked her how they
came to get her She told him that
as she was going through the
woods to see her neighbor chum
they stole her. and asked her If her
father was rich. and she said, no,
but the men said il he didn't pay
the money they would kill her.
That was why she was so thankful
that Mr.. Wood loaned her father
the money
When Marys grandmother died
she left her father lot Of money
and he could pay Mr.. Wood what
he owed and also enough for him
self and Mary as long as they lived.

A dramatic incident tears the young
people apart and when Conscience
learns that Stuart has been named as
correspondent in a divorce suit, her
heart is numbed. She consents, to
please her father, to become married
to a crafty New Englander. and it
isn't until after the knot is tied that
she learns from the divorce tClairc
Whitney, that she has been tricked by
false information. She bolts her door
on the bridegroom.
How this situation is worked out
makes one of the most engrossinE
stories that the screen has seen in
years. Miss Bennett proves a find
for the screen, with her fresh young
beauty and her real depth OF dramatic
emotion. Claire Whitney, long a screen
star, gives a notable performance as
the divorcee. Kenneth Harlan is again
a handsome and dcbonnairc leading
man. and Henry Harmon. makes ter
ribly real the old New England father.

apprised the senator of his request to
the local committee, Mr.. Harding re-
quested that Congress not participate
and the committee not expend any
funds whatever in connection with the
Inauguration.
House leaders expressed the view to-.
day that plans for the outdoor inaugural
ceremony at the Capitol probably would
be abandoned out of Difference TO the
wishes of-Mr. Harding. In the alb
scnce, however, of Senator Knox, chair
man Of the congressional inaugural com
mittce, the question of proceeding i'm.
mcdiately with the erection Of stands
capable Of seating 10000 persons was
left in doubt.
Some members of the committee said
that inasmuch as the appropriation al
ready had been authorized, they saw no
reason why the plan should be changed,
although members generally thought
that the President elect would take the
oath of Office in the House of Repre-.
sentatives.
Trucks today we're still unloading
lumber at the east side of the Capitol
building and about 300 carpenters re-
ported for duty.
The joint resolution providing $50, 900
for erection of the stands, printing Of
tickets and police protection was ex-
perted TO be sent today to President
Wilson.

capital from all parts Of the country
will be dispensed with. Weeks of work
by numerous committees will be undone
and approximately 5000 900 subscribed
by WnshingtoDians toward the inaugu-
ration expenses will be returned. What
Congress will do regarding the $50, 900
voted for the edection of stands at the
capitol had not been determined today.
AS suggested by Mr.. Harding, the
inauguration ceremony, IL was indicated
Today. will consist simply of the formal
administration of the oath of Office and
an address by the new President, prob
ably from the East steps of the capitol.
Then Mr.. Harding will proceed quietly
to the White House, where, in his own
language. he will hang up his hat and
go to work"
Cancellation Ordered
Chairman e. Il. Mclean. of the local
inaugural committee, in announcing can
collation. OF arrangements for the cele-
bration. said that from the first Mr..
Harding had desired an unostentatious
ceremony, but had yielded to over
whelming requests for return to old
customs and to permit the occasion TO be
made into gala affair in which the
whole nation could participate, IL it
desired.

man OF the congressional committee
