The Master S Music
CHAPTER v.

The little boy took lessons for a
long time. Every week the girl
would go to pay Mr.. Van Harritt,
but he would not take the money.
About three weeks after the boy
had started taking lessons the girl
went to pay Mr.. Van Harritt, AS
usual he would not take the money
so the girl said that if he would
come TO her house and give her
piano lessons she would pay for her
lessons and let the little boys be
free (of course she meant to give
Mr.. Van Harritt more money than
she should and of course she was
going to pay for the little boys
lessons, but Mr.. Van Harritt did
not know this).
Mr.. Van Harritt said that would
be all right, so Ruth told him to
come to her house the next day.
The next day Mr.. Van Harritt
went to her house. When he
knocked at the door the butler
came to the door. Mr.. Van Harritt
started in as he was not used to
buffers and did not know that he
had to have a card. The butler
pulled him back and asked him for
his card. Mr.. Van Harritt said
that he did not have any card.

long, black streak from the tip of
his nose to the end of his big fluff
fy tail. He has very long, shaggy
fur.
Tony will 60 after bits of paper
and sticks and will bring them to
you II you drag a string with a
piece of paper attached, he will
love to play with you.
One day Tony went into clothes
closet and brought my mothers
heavy carriage boot down from a
chair and dragged it across the
room. When anyone is going away
Tony always knows it. He climbs
into the trunk and lies down In the
clothes.
He likes to drink water from the
basin and always puts his front
paws in. When he turns around
from drinking he always gets his
long tail in the water without
knowing it.
When my brother is playing with
his towboats Tony likes to walk all
the way around the tub.
Tony often plays dolls. He gets
the doll house door open with his
nose and then takes the dolls and
puts them at our feet.
Tony always comes when he is
called.
He is a very blue blooded cat.
One of his ancestors is King Win

l have owned two and have

In a little town in northern Mich
igan lived an old man, a friend of
my uncle. My uncle decided to 20
up there to hunt. and one day went
into a rather extensive wood stu
ated about hilf mile east of
town.
My uncle had told this old friend
of his. whom We shall call Mr.. Cup
Ter, that he would return about 5
o'clock in the evening.
He did not, however. show up at
this time. and not at six, nor seven,
nor eight. And at about 9 O'Clock
Mr.. Cupler began to get somewhat
worried over uncle's prolonged alb
sence.
The time passed quickly, and
still my uncle did not appear, and
at $50 o'clock Mr.. Cupler decided
to send his Airedale, Whiskers,
after him. Whiskers was good
hunter and could follow scent
that was quite old.
The old gentleman opened the
door to his little cabin and told the
dog what he was to do. Whiskers
listened attentively, and at the
command to 60 dashed from the
house. Mr.. Cupler was becoming
old and feeble, and as he believed
uncle to be some distance away
from home he did not follow the
dog, for he, as he said afterwards,
was doubtful that he could have
gone all the way.
1t was near midnight when
Whiskers returned, barking ioy-
ously with my uncle close on his
trail.-Boys' and Girls Newspaper.

Mayor Hylan defended his admiuistra-
tion OF the public school system at 4
luncheon in the Commodore Hotel yes
terday which preceded the opening of the
police games at the Gravesend racetraciS.
He said the city was between S75,O00 900
and s100.000,000 behind in its school
construction when he took Office, and
that S40.000.000 has been spent IN his
administration to erect thirty-nine school
buildings.
II speak boldly" said the Mayor,
when I say that the pay as you go law
was enacted by private interests who
wanted TO fit the child for the factory
and mill rather than to give him school
education.

with seating capacity OF 5000 will be
opened. / want you to comaare that

Curran will carry Manhattan. The Bronx
and Richmond. This estimate would
give Haskell a lead of less than $1,000
over Curran in Kings. while Curran
would clean up Manhattan by some
10000.
1t Is believed that In only one borough
does President La Guardia stand a
shance of running better than third or
fourth. In The Bronx he has been con-
ceded second place by his enemies and
some even think the vote may be split
about evenly between him and Curran
and Haskell.
In his calculations Judge Haskell is
banking on the fact that the jacob A..

HyIan Cuts Curran Lead.
The primary campaign started out
with Curran conceded TO be winner
rather generally This was on the
theory that with three anti-organiza-
tlon candidates to divide that vote the
man backed by the organization could
not fail to win. Then Judge Haskell
got started with his wet Issue and
began to make rapid progress In every
borough. He began to lose ground
again when 1t was demonstrated that
Curran was for law enforcement, but
did not believe In the unconstitutional
practices Of search and seizure inaug-
urated by, Mayor Hylan.
The women have also been aroused
on behalf Of Curran.
In his forecast Judge Haskell con-
tends he will carry every borough ex-
cept Manhattan. To do that would be
ungracious to President Curran, he
holds.
From comment in all the newspa-
pers and other quarters he said. 1T
Is conceded that can defeat the
Hearst st-Hylan-Tammany H ticket. 1t Is
the consensus of opinion that I will
defeat Mr.. Curren. The two other cam
didates will poll a negligible vote.

Claims by Tn Guardia.
La Guardia declared he was confident
Of winning because he would get the
votes of the following: Those who be-

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 10.
Prompt and effective cooperation be-
tween the State Department and Real
Estate Board Of Washington apparently
has resulted in heading off Washington
landlords who had In mind doing a
wholesale profiteering business at the
expense Of delegates at the conference
on armament. Would be profiteers were
early in the field and several embassies
and legations received proposals from
them. many of which were referred to
the department and were not acted
upon.
After comforting with State Depart
ment officials, the Real Estate Board ad-,
vertised that 1t would list houses, apart
ments or single rooms for Washing
tonians who had them to rent, and that
il consulted 1t would insure foreign dele
gates and other visitors to the confer
ence against being overcharged. Tho

scription Of what they mad and the
prices they are asking. In many In
stances they asked the Real Estate
Board to Ak prices for them.
The board has no authority over tho
hotels, but the indications are that the
hotels will not raise rates except in In
stances where special service in connec-
tion with quarters is asked for. Those
hotel proprietors who might have been
inclined to raise their rates still nave
lively recollection of what happened to
them when they sent their prices sky
ward for inaugural week. Most Of the
hotels have presented rate scales to the
State Department and are showing
every inclination to do their part toward
caring for the visitors.
apparently plans for the care of the
visitors are working smoothly" John A.
Petty, secretary OF the Real Estate
Board, said to-day. "At first we ran
into a few would be profiteers. but l
must say that the great mass Of Wash
ingtonians who have quarters to rent
are absolutely reasonable and keenly
anxious to avoid any semblance OF
profteering.
Most of the legations are making ar
for quarters at hotels, but
the chances are that most of them will
lease houses for the actual delegates to
the conference. The secretaries, as
sistants, specialists and clerks will most
ly go to the hotels, although many will
seek rooms in private dwellings or
apartment houses.

TALK OF $16,5OO CHECK
Cafe Owner to Be Called to
Tell About Payment to
to Alleged lobbyist.
ERRORS IN CITY PENSIONS
Street Cleaners Widow Had
Forfeited 1921 Because
She Married Again.

David Hirshfleld, Commissioner of
Accounts, after learning yesterday that
the Meyer legislative committee forces
had adjourned over the week end, sum-
moned his stenographer and gave out
a couple of statements. One had to do
with alleged Irregularities in connec-
ton with the payment of city PEN
sions. The second told of the Com
missioner's intention of calling State
Senator Clayton r. Lusk for further
questioning concerning his interest in
the Police Departments detective bill,
which was vetoed by Mayor Hylan af-
ter Senator Lusk had used his in
fluence to put 1t through the Legis-
lature at the request of New York de-
tectives. This is the legislation in con-
nection with which Senator Lusk re-
ceived a present of silver.
In each statement Commissioner
Hirshfield directed attention to what
he described as the "dilatory tactics"
Of the Meyer committee. which, he
said, were hampering his own investi-
CATION of city departments.
Writ for Cafe Proprietor.
Mr.. Hirshfield announced that appli-
cation had been made before Supreme
Court Justice Martin for a body attach
ment for William Cook. proprietor OF a
cafe at 500 Amsterdam avenue. This,
he said, was necessary to clear up
rumors Of additional large sums of
money collected by police officers to fur
ther the Lusk detective measure In the
Legislature.
Cook. whose cafe manager is James
Buckley. former police lieutenant, once
attached to the West Forty-seventh
street station. was witness before
Hirshfield last month, but failed to re-
appear when summoned. The story con-
cerning which Commissioner Hirshfield
wanted to question him had to do with
an alleged payment of an additional
s16,500 to John E. Kleist, the alleged
lobbyist in the matter. Cook denied on
his first examination that he ever had
drawn a check for such an amount, add
ing that if he had 'he used 1t at the
race track"
Pensions Paid Erroneously.
To forestall expected testimony con-
cerning the administration OF the city's
pension funds Hirshheld gave out tho
details of several items of pension pay
ments made In error. upon which recov-
cry In full or in part had been made by
the city. These were in connection with
payments to families of employees in the
Street Cleaning Department and were
o. more or less trivial character. An
example was the case of the widow OF
an employee who received check for
s121.03 after she had forfeited her right
to the pension by remarrying. Upon in
vcstigation the city recovered the amount
in full
II assume" said Hirshfeld. that the
next step Of the Meyer committee will
be an investigation OF the various city
pension funds. II this committee will
leave me alone. and not take away my
records will make better job OF such
an investigation. as l am not making 1t
for political purposes.
Senator Meyer Is expected to return
to New York city tomorrow.
