Time Ball Decides Not to Drop:
Cap1n Ajax Suspects Einstein
With Chronometer in Hand, Sage of South Street
Waits for Flash on Seamen's Institute to Signal
Noon, and Decides Newton's Law Took Day Off

surmounting the lighthouse. Then he
looked at his watch again and shook
his head.
Fifty year." said he sadly, "an'
His friends crowded around him.
Cap'n Ajax's infallible timepiece re-
corded the hour of 1901. Still the
time ball did not drop. Other watches
were consulted. By the time. the last
had been compared with the others,
all agreed that it was after noon.
Time Ball Is Derelict
The time ball had not dropped
Something was wrong with the deli
cate mechanism which operates it and,
SO South Street agreed, for the first
time since its erection in 1918 as a
memorial to the dead of the Titanic,
the time ball had failed in its duty.
When convinced of this by inquiry
at the Seameh's Church Institute,
Cap'n Ajax was easier in his mind
His watch might not be getting fast
in its old age after all.
"You fellers can do as you please"
he said, as the conference broke up
for the day, "but Pm going to write
to this feller Einstein an tell him if
he don't stop fooling around with rela-
tivities an things there won't be no

Bedtime Stories
Peter Takes Chance
By Thornton W. Burgess
Who never takes a chance comfesses
That he O. coWord's heart possesses.
Peter Rabbit.

Buster Bears lively twins were
very much like some boys and girls.
They were like them in that they
were wholly thoughtless. They were
having a splendid time as they tried
to catch Peter Rabbit, who was un-
der pile of brush. They hadn't had
so much fun for days. Not once did
it pop into their funny little heads
that Peter was suffering because of
their fun. No, sir, they didn't once
think of that.
But Peter was suffering. Peter was
suffering from fright, and that kind
of suffering often is worse than suf-
fering from pain. He was sure that
those twin cubs meant to kill and eat
him. AS matter of fact, such an
idea hadn't entered the heads OF the
twins. You see, they were still too
young to eat meat. All they were
thinking of was the fun of catching
Peter and to get even with him for
the scare he had once given them.
Peter didn't know this. Many peo-
Pile had tried to catch him and every
one Of them had wanted him for q
dinner. So Peter was sure that this
was why Boxer and Woof-Woof were
trying so hard to catch him. AS he
lodged about under that pile of brush
his heart was in his mouth most Of
the time. At least. that is the way
IL seemed TO him. But this was moth
Ing to the way he felt when those
cubs began to pull apart that pile
Of brush. Then, for a minute. de-
srair took possession of Peter.
But it was only for minute. Peter
had been In many tight places before,
and he had learned that giving up to
despair is no way Of getting out OF
tight places.
"rf stay here they will get me-"
thought Peter. "If I taxa a chance
and run they may get me, al which
case will be no worse off. But they
may not get me, so I think I'll take
the chance"
He listened to those excited little
cubs working with might and main
to pull that pile Of brush apart. One
was on one side and one was on the
other. He might get out at either
end between them and get . start

Cap'n Ajax Weatherby tilted his
Manuel's cigar store in South Street
and eyed his audience with an exas-
perating deliberation born Of the gen.
eral though unwilling reverence paid
by all the old salts of South Street to
the venerable. pot-bellied tinepiece
which ticked in Cap'n Ajax's sou'west
waistcoat pocket.
Better take a squint, Ajax" advised
Cap'n Danl Hostetter, who, like most
of the rest of the cap'n's roundabout,
had his watch in his hand, "my chro-
nometer's set for the 18th meridian, an
she's almost on the stroke"
The daily climax of the dispute in
front of Manuel's store was at hand.
1t lacked only a few seconds of noon
when the time ball on top of the Sea-
mems Church Institute memorial light
house is dropped by electrical impulse
from the governments observatory at
Washington. Nine times out Of ten
Cap'n Ajax hauls out his portly watch
at the very moment the ball flashes
downward, signaling to vessels far
below the Narrows that it is noon.
He Can Fair Tell the Time
"Now, Dan1," said Cap'n Ajax,
soothingly, "I've carried this timepiece
o. mine goin' on fifty year an it's got
so it kind o. beats inside me like, and
I can fair feel what time it is. We got
all O. two seconds yet, fgger."
He brought forth the watch as he
spoke, with something of the dignity
and delberation of an old-time frigate
weighing anchor. An expression of
surprise dawned in his. face as he
looked at that of his old friend and
New-York tribune., 1921-04-14

before they saw him. He started to
creep toward one end, but snapped
dead twig and the quick ears Of
Boxer heard it. "He's coming out!"
squealed Boxer and ran around to
that end.
Peter crep back to the middle. In
a minute or so Boxer was back, pull
ing apart that brush. Then an old
saying Of his mothers popped into
Peters head. He had heard her say
1t many times when he was little and
first venturing out into the Great
World.
"When you must take a chance, al
ways do the thing no one expects you
to-" was what his mother had said
over and over again.
"Those cubs expect me to run out
at one end or the other" thought
Peter. "They don't expect me to run
out where either is at work. To do
that will take them by surprise. 1t
is my best chance. Yes, sir, it is my
best chance"
Peter crept toward the edge where
Boxer was at work tearing that brush
apart. Once more his heart seemed
to be in his mouth, and it was going
pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat. Watching his
chance, he 10arted out under Boxers
very nose.
