thriller A famous magazine cover artist
wanted to paint her as the modern Aphro-
dite.
But no answer came out Of Hertford-
shire--none, at least, save brief little
notes, thanking managers and all for their
interest, but stating that Miss Macintosh
had to decline any offer to appear In
public.
1t was one of the more enterprising mo-
tion picture Scouts" who finally, quite
unintentionally, unearthed the cause of
Miss Winifred Mackintosh's strange re-
tirement.
He went down to Hertfordshire in per-
son, determined to find this Elusive girl,
talk to her, persuade her, get her to sign
any contract she wanted then and there.
He found himself at an obscure little
station off the main line. The luggage
porter directed him on his road. There
was no conveyance He set Off walking
in the pale October sunshine.
"A little green house with an oid-fash-
Toned Itch gate" the baggage man had
said.
Twilight was drawing on when he found
himself at his destination. There was no
mistaking the little green house,
The movie man climbed the front steps
and knocked.
Come in," said gentle voice.
He entered. There, seated in a chair
in darkness lit only by blaze from the
wide fireplace, was q beautiful girl. She
was entirely IN shadow except for her
face And that half turned to him so
that the profile was warmed by the dane
ing flames, caused him TO pause with a
gasp.
The photograph had not lied, She was,
indeed an English rose"--the tovelreS.
the expert had ever seen in long expert
ence with every type and variety of love
liness, ~
The realization of his hope completely
drove his manners from him for the mo-
ment. He stepped forward exclamatons
Of enthusiasm tumbling from his lips. He
wanted, nearer the fire, to see the full
face.
He saw it--lovely as the profile And
then he saw, too, resting on the floor at
the foot Of the chair hidden from the
door by the shadow, but plainly visible
now in the frelght-a pair Of crutches!
Winifred Macintosh, most beautiful
girl in England, was a victim of infantile
paralysis! Since the age Of seven she has
never walked without a stick She will
never walk without one, said her father.

queens, Friends of several of the prettiest
society women in England put them in the
race. The Mirror announced it had re-
ceived thousands of photographs, repre-
senting almost every city and hamlet in
Great Britain.
The contest was discussed everywhere.
In a fever Of interest the candidates and
the public awaited the result.
In the little village of Hoddesdon, in
secluded part~of the county of Hertford-
shire, in little cottage off the main-trav-
cled road, lived Miss Macintosh and her
father. She read of the Mirrors contest,
as every one did, but she admitted, long
after the denouement, that she had no
idea of entering it,
"The first suggestion" she said, "came
from trained nurse living near US. She
asked me if ! had a photograph. | told
her that ! had, but as it was an expensive
one | had no intention of wasting it by
sending it in for the Daily Mirror com
petition.
"The next night found that daddy had
all my photographs out in the dining
room. Shortly afterward we went to
Bournemouth for our holidays, and when
got there / learned that my photograph
had been published in the Daily Mirror.

Miss Macintosh went back from
Bournemouth 10 Hertfordshire, never
dreaming that the arrival of her photo
graph in the Mirrors office had created
something of a sensation. Certainly she
had no notion that, even then, Sir Will

All England is amazed at the
news-amazed and filled with a great
pity, for neither Judge nor public knew
of Miss Winifred B, Mackntosh's ,atTlic-
tion when she was crowned queen of
beauty.
Now that chance has revealed the sur
prising secret, the heart of England goes
out to her with even greater intensity
than did its verdict.
Until a few days ago Miss Macintosh
was merely one of thousands of English
girls who had entered their names and
their photographs in the London Daily
Mirrors beauty competition.
The Mirrors contest was no ordinary
aifair. For the past year there have been
so many controversies, opinions and dis
cussions about beauties of the stage, So
ciety and the studios in London and other
large cities that the subject wed in popu-
lar interest with international issues.
When the Daily Mirror announced it
intended to settle the question of Eng
lands prettiest girl' definitely and de-
cisively, there was a hum and rush from
one end of London 10 the other.
Any girl in England was eligible to
compete The prize would be five hun
dred pounds small fortune in itself!
And the judges were no less persOnages

beauty specialists.
"We can't help that" re-
piled Sir William Orpen In
a public statement. "We
have chosen not only q
beautiful face. but a beau
tiful soul. | am convinced
of that. We were all
agreed that Miss Mackin-
tosh was the most genu-
inely beautiful girl, even
among such an assembly of
pictures, where the stand
ard OF beauty was e1traor-
dinarily high.
"Our Judgment" he add
ed, "was based solely on
the features OF the compet-
itors. All other cOnsidera-
tions, such az figure and
hair, we ruled out. We
simply sought a lovely face,
and once we had Been Miss
Mackintosh's photograph we
never changed our first
opinion Of her, though we
repeatedly compared her
with others"
"She surpassed all 9TH
eTs," agreed Mr. Richard
Jack "She is n purely
British type---a real Eng
lish rose"
"The eyes were the most
beautiful feature Of the
competitors" said Sir VIII
lam Llewellyn, "but eVen
there Miss Macintosh was
superior to the rest. She
has spiritual type of
beauty that is really very
fine"
Such tributes from such
distinguished authorities
whetted interest In Miss
Macintosh keener than
ever. And still England's
curiosity about her re-
mained unsatisfed. All
that was known of her was

NICARAGUA HAS
COME TO CLOSE

Manague, Nicaragua, May 23.-(By
the Associated Press. Surrender of
the fortress of La Iona to the gov
ernment forces last night appears to
have ended the serious phase of the
attempted revolution After capturing
the fort the rebel leaders attempted
to win over the Nicaraguan troops in
barracks at the foot of the hill on
which the fort is situated. Several
officers had been bribed and the move
ment would have succeeded but for
the unexpected appearance of Presi-
dent Chamorro.
Without a guard and by force of
character he dominated the situation.
Putting a machine gun in charge of a
trusted man, he ordered the arrest of
Salvador Castrillo, leader of the revo-
lutionists. The soldiers waivered but
finally obeyed and the other revolu-
zionist leaders fed back to the fort.
The American minister arrived at this
iuncture and warned the, revolution
lists that if they fired on the city the
fire would be returned by American
Marines stationed here.
BY an agreement signed under the
auspices of the American legation.
the revolutionary aspirants were freed

people. who had expected they would

band of revOlutionists. organized by

sition party. assembled on hill
called Motastepe, four miles from the
city this morning but was dispersed
by troops and fed to the mountains.
No further disorder was reported and
normal conditions apparently have
been restored.
The uprising is ascribed to a fac.
tional fight within the conservative
party and opposition to the members
of the cabinet and others of the presi-
dents advisers. President Chamorro
today declared he feared no further
trouble.

IMPORTANT ROAD
CONTRACTS LET
ORANGE COUNTY

Orlando, Fla, May 23.-After a
heated debate behind closed doors
the county commissioners have award
ed the contract for building the Win
dermern road. a stretch four and four
ten,hs miles long, to the w. p. Me
INonald Construction Company, whose
bid for road built of three inch top
phalt with an eight inch rock base
was $f21,56O.
The debate, it was understood, was
On the question of using asphalt, and
while some of the commissioners fav-
ored brick, it was decided to give the
cheaper road ciance to prove its
worth. According to Arthur Schultz,
chairman of the board, the road will
be built of the same material as used
by the state road department on the
Plymouth-Mount Dora highway, with
the exception that the curbing will be
of concrete in the Orange county pro-
iect, thus making it superior to the
road which the state is building with
federal aid funds.
The bid of Lasley Brothers G. Har-
vey, a Chattanooga concern, was next
to the one accepted by the commits
sion. 1t provided for the use of brick
and was but 81. 400 more than the
figure stipulated by the Mcdonald
company.
Other bids on the project were sub
mitted by the Georgia Engineering
Company, the James G. Yeats Con-
struction Company, and Stidham &
Hughes The figures ran from $113,-
$50 for three-inch brick with sand
filler to $141, 900 for an eight-inch lime
rock base with three-inch asphalt sur
face. The lowest of the bids was sub
mitted by Lasley Brothers e Harvey.
while Stdham & Hughes topped the
list with the $141 900 offer, the diff
ference in materials accounting for
the difference in the figures.
The contract for erecting drainage
structures on the East Coast road was
awarded to the Austin Brothers Bridge
Company of Atlanta, who bid $69,-
07750. Two wooden bridges will be
built across the big" and little"
Econlockhatchee rivers by this firm.
E. w. Parker. of Tampa, was award
ed the contract for grading the east
Coast road from Bithlo to the Bre-
ward county line with bid of $63,400.
Lesley Brothers & Harvey, with a
bid of $320,000. will widen and extend
the Oakland and Winter Garden road.
The grading contract on the Lake
Pickett road from the East Coast road
to the Seminole county border was
