MENTAL SLEEP,'
RUNAWAY
Penn Charter Boy "Awakes"
in. New Haven, Con-
necticut
GONE SINCE NO N D A Y

A sudden attack Of "mental sleep
which made him unaware Of HIS actions
was the explanation given by fifteen
year-old William Gray Williams, Of
Amber, for his disappearance Last
Monday.
Williams, a Penn Charter School
student, said he "awoke" in New
Haven, Conn, from which city he tele-
sraphed yesterday to his worried par
ents. Mr.. and Mrs. A. ]. Williams.
The boy arrived at Broad Street Sta
tion last night. He was met by his
father and taken TO hs home imme-
diately.
'SHe did not know that he had gone
away" said Mrs. Williams, the boys
mother, this morning. 'I can't explain
his complete loss of memory, but /
believe everything he tells me-"
Mrs. Williams, with others early
yesterday, had shared theory that her
son had gone away with Ransaville
Frome. of Camden. Penn Charter
School student Of the same age. Frome
was found yesterday in Downingtown.
''Bill said be was walking about the
streets or new maven NeuHcSuaS
morning" Mrs. Williams continued,
when he suddenly realized he was
away from home. He Immediately went
TO a telegraph office and wired mo what
had happened. He told me that he
realized ne had wandered away, but
couldn't explain his actions at tho time.
"We are sure now that be had a
lapse Of memory. The only way ! can
explain this Is that he Is a very large
boy for his age and has grown very
fast. This has been great strain on
his vitality and would make him very
susceptible TO any nervous disorder.
HE had been i'll two weeks prior
to his disappearance, and l believe his
vitality was at q very low ebb. When
he left home Wednesday morning he was
on his way to school. He probably
lost his memory on the train and lapsed
into q state Of amnesia."
Mrs. Williams said physician was
summoned last night when the boy
reached home. and found that he was
in bad nervous condition. This morn
ing she said he was much better.
His books and brief case were found
on the train which he took to the city
Monday morning, and were turned in
at the lost and found bureau Of the rail-
road.

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

Well, by and by. after a while, Puss
and the mermaid came to a lovely coral
island, so they pulled the boat up on the
beach, ard then the little mermaid sat
down and began to comb her hair. Pass
had never seen s1ch beautiful, long hair
on any one, for it spread Ike a golden
scarf over her shoulders and down upon
the sand.
You see, Puss wasn't very well &C
Guainted with mermaids, and he had for
gotten that they always had beautiful,
long hair and eombed it with peariy

TOO bad you don't know how to

gave a sudden kick IN the water with
her feet. mean her tail, which sent

asked FCss, pushing out his red-top
boots.
"I never had feet" replied the little
mermaid, so I can't say. But ! should

Yes, I've climbed many high noun

Bill Asks 10-HOur
WOmen's Work Day

Carrying out a pledge in the Repub-
Hcan State platform, a bill has been in
troduced, backed by the women's divi-
sion Of the Republican State committee,
providing ten hour working day for
women in all forms Of industry and
limiting their employment to ffty-four
hours a week. The bill was introduced
by Representative Raymond E. Willis of
La Grange and Steuben Counties.
Penalty for violation OF the act is
fixed in the bin as a fine Of not less
than S25 nor more than 500. A second
bill, providing for an eight hour day
for women, already has been introduced
in the House and has been favorably re-
ported by the Committee on Labor.

green Islands, with their clusters of
trees and grassy slopes but the SUBMITS
Of hills lifted out Of the waterf"
Goodness me-" exclaimed Puss. you
do know geography, don't you? Is it
pretty, way down there under the
waves?"
And then the mermaid smiled very
sweetly as she answered, Yes, It is.
There are many wonderful things to
see, and many stEange, beautiful things
to hear, under the sea, under the sea-
and she looked wlstfu1ly out over the
ocean.
"Come over here and 1 will comb your
hair with my magic comb" she said
suddenly, and while she gently ran the
pearly comb down 10 the very tip Of his
tail, she sang:
"Over the sea the white ships sail,
out through the mist and the rollicking
gale,
While deep below the mermaids swim
With their fnny tails so neat and trim.
So please, little magic comb. don't fail
To give Puss Junior a mermaid'5 tail"
And, would you believe Il, when Puss
looked down at his red top boots they
weren't on his feet at all. but were lying
on the shhot ana instead OF MS wv O
sturdy hind legs he had a graceful I'm
tail like FISH.
"Come with me-" said the mermaid,
and, strange as It may seem, without a
moments hesitation Puss followed her
into the water nnd out beyond the
breakers. swimming as easily as though
he had always been a little mercat in
stead OF the son Of the famous Puss IN
Boots.
Where are we gdng7" he asked, as
the dim line Of the shore disappeared
and there was nothing in sight but the
great, restless ocean. The mermaid did
not answer, but looked about her intent

CHAPTER CXXXYTTI.

When Virginia seized the telephone
from Anthony Norreys and insisted on
being the one to speak to Betty's COM
panion, Miss Moss, felt that my sister
in-law's character had come to a grave
test. Would Virginia think coldly and
sel1shly in terms Of herself? Or would
she visualize the situation warmly and
generously for Betty's greatest happi-
ness?
But when she talked over the telephone
to Miss Moss, Virginia was wonderful.
She said that of us all 1t was only I
whod d been inspired to discover this wav
Of reaching Betty, and that some Of US
would come down in the morning. Then
she gave herself to cstechizing Miss Mess.
When she turned from the telephone her
face wore an expression that was almost
sheepish. 1t was easy to see that Vir-
ginia wasn't in the habit Of giving in to
any one, and was rather ashamed of
what she evidently thought was her own
weakness.
Betty didn't want to worry u.s." vir-
ginia said She was going to have Miss
Moss phone tomorrow. There was Just

Miss Moss assured me. She won't lose
the use Of her arm. It's her right arm.
On, Betty's too good to be true!"
Betty Bryce is a glorious woman. 8"
said Anthony Norreys reverently.
A glow lighted his thin face. and nv
eyes turned very humbly to the glove
that showed beneath his right sleeve. I
seemed to hear again the simple words
he had spoken at our first meeting:
They got the good old right hand back
IN the days when Terry and l were to-
gether at Verdun."
And now Betty Our beautiful. proud
