Bedtime Stories
The Fourth Hen Disappears
BY Thornton W. Burgess
OF this there's mot the slightest
doubt:
A thief is bound to be found out.
Old Mother Nature.

For three days Farmer Browns Boy
kept the hens shut in the henyard
and as he went about his work he
kept watch for Redtail the Hawk. But
he saw nothing of Redtail When he
came to think the matter over he
couldn't remember having seen Red
tail for several weeks, nor did he see
any Of Redtail's relatives. Each night
he counted his hens. No more were
missing.
On the afternoon of the fourth day
he opened the henyard gate and
let the hens out for exercise. He
watched them for a while and then
went into the barn to husk some corn.
Once he heard two or three of the
hens squawking as if frightened. He
rushed out of the barn, but by the
time he got out there the hens were
over their fright. He looked every
where In the sky for Redtail or one
Bowser the Hound was doing on the
doorstep of the house. His master
felt sure that no four-footed enemy
could have been about or Bowser
would have at once started to look
into the matter. So Farmer Browns
Boy concluded that those hens had
simply had fuss among themselves,
as is the way with hens, and so re-
turned to his husking.
Late in the afternoon he drove the
hens back into the henyard and, as
usual, counted them. Then he count
ed them second time, and third
time. Another hen was missing!
Yes, sir, another hen was missingi
Just to make absolutely sure. he
counted fourth time. There could
/. be no doubt about it, another hen
had disappeared! Perhaps it had
simply wandered further away thar
usual and he had failed to notice il,
lie started out at once to look for
that hen
Farmer Browns Boy hunted eyery-
where. He even looked under the
barn. Nowhere did he find so much
as a trace of that missing hen.
Bowser the Hound sensed that some
thing was wrong and trorted around
behind his master, smiling here and
there with that wonderful nose of his.
BUT ne smelled nothing to excite him
aud it was plain to his master thai
no FOX had been around and he could
think OF no one else big enough 10

Farmer Browns Boy stopped TO pet

Hazed Plebes Say
Midshipman Asked
Support in Trial

to Stand By Him; Upper

versations; Wanted Truth
Specie, Dispatch to The rrinnr.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 7.-Efforts o.
Judge Advocate Murphy 20 show that
Midshipman John P. Gilmer jr.. charged
with hazing before court martial at
the Naval Academy, had sought to in
fiuence the under class men who are
the witnesses in the case, was the SEN
sation of the session Of the court
to-day.
Some OF these young men testified
On the stand that they had had several
conversations with Gilmer in reference
to their testimony, and that he had in
dicated to them the line that he was
going to take, asking them to "stand
by him." The cross examination by
Major Leonard, counsel for Gilmer, in
dicated that the interviews would not
be denied by Gilmer, but that he would
assert that he had told the under class
men to testify to the truth.
All three of the plebes who were on
the stand to-day testified to matters in
hazing against Gilmer. Kari J. Bied-
erman, of Oneonta, N. " said that he
had done the stoop fall twice by order
OF that midshipman. Midshipman
Ethelredge Grant said that he done the
stoop fall once, and both, with Neil r.
Campbell, Of Big Rapids, Mich, had,
according to their statement, taken
part in the pie race. All said, however,
that they regarded this as fun.
The midshipmen showed reluctance
to testify against the upper class men,
but appeared to answer direct questions
frankly. They showed that the upper
class men had established rigid rule
when the new academic year opened,
requiring the plebes to sit straight at
meals without using the back of the
chair and to keep their eyes to the
front during the whole meal. These
rules, however, came to an abrupt end
they testified, when Admiral Wilson
began his Investigations.
Midshipman Ebert L. Freyberger, of
Colorado, first class man, testified
that Gilmer did not give the order for
the pie race. He also said that he had
been present when Gilmer talked to the
plebe witnesses and that no effort had
been made to induce them to give false
testimony, but that they had been ad-
vised to tell the truth.

No ciew to the Disappearance of Mrs.

her friend, Mrs. Julia Farley, q
,.luatc nurse, of 81 Columbus Ave
z, or by the police of the West Sixty
Sllth Street station, to whom Mrs.
sI'iey reported the case.
This is the latest of series of ad-
cntures which Mrs. Hammerstein has
Eperienced within the last few months.
Eecently her acquaintance were star
led to hear that she had become en-
aged to a prince, but the rumor was
denied and Mrs. Hammerstein begged
leave ito forget the Incident
About a month ago the critical con-
dition of Mrs. Hammerstein's finances
was made public when she was found
penniless in Central Park with her
collie, Teddy. She said that she had
been compelled to leave her suite at
the Hotel Netherland. Miss Margaret
de Rohun, designer, was affected by
her story and shared her room at the
Waldorf-Astoria with Mrs. Hammer
stein for several days, during which
she advertised FOR work "o2 any Sort

clared that she would some night be
found dead over her husbands grave.
Mrs. Hammerstein has been missing
since Monday. Neighbors at the Column
bus Avenue apartment house said that
she had left Mrs. Farley's fiat at $3.50
in the morning, while her friend was
away for the day. The reason for her
disappearance, while officially listed
as unknown" is ascribed by Mrs.
Farley to the failure of benefit per-
formance, to have been held at Car
negie Hall for Mrs. Hammerstein. Max
Rubin, seventeen-year-old college
student, who lives at 255 East Houston
Street, was in charge of the arrange
snents, but was unable to recruit volun-
teers for the program or to sell enough
tickets to pay for hiring the hall. He
had paid the deposit for the auditorium
and the expense of printing tickets
from his own pocket.
When last seen Mrs. Hamm merstein
wore a much-used blue cloth suit, red
hat. black lace veil and black shoes
and stockings, according to Mrs. Far
iey's description. She had only Is

a Walden factory and goes to "part-

education required by law.
Johnson, although over eighteen, ac-
cording TO the officials, is in the ffth

that he does not believe that the fact
that the girl is married will enable her
