Yes: 1t Must Have Been Eileen's Mamma

- HICAGO.-The fates played Ray
- w. Jerrems a cruel trick. He is
one of those unfortunate beings who
have a faculty for loving not wisely,
but too well, and for several weeks
he has been lodging detectives placed
on his trail by Eileen Merriam Jerrems,
his third wife. He was wanted for
alleged bigamy.
Jerrems has a persuasive tongue.
Eileen, he knew, could not resist him,
once she fell under his hypnotic spell.
So he made a tryst with her over the
telephone, With tears in his voice he
pleaded with her to meet him "just
this once" in the conservatory at Gar
field park. She consented, but let it
be understood that lit was only to
save him from the penitentiary."
No stage could have been set more
beautifully for a tfyst. The asters
and chrysanthemums in their riot of
color! The bowers Of ferns!
"Now, Eileen, girl" pleaded Jer-
rems. "You know how it is, Eileen.
You know I didn't mean to. Can't
you forgive, Eileen? L"
A figure reared itself from behind
bank of chrysanthemums. 1t was

The Spartan Boy Had Nothing on Elvin

as soon as he had studied his lessons.
In fact, he was not able to get all of
them; his head hurt him and that ter
rible pain in his abdomen seemed to
be trying to rip him into pieces. But
he got into his bed without help, and
without letting his father and mother
know that anything was wrong with
him.
This was between eight and nine
o'clock, and for more than four hours
Elvin lay wide awake in bed, in agony,
but stoically refused to utter sound.
About one o'clock in the morning
the boy became semi-delirious, and
no matter how tightly he shut his
lips, he could not help groaning. His
mother, already awake because she
was worried about her boy, heard him.
She found Elvin doubled almost in a
knot, so intense was the pain he suf-
fered.
She awaked the boys father, and
Elvin was hurried in an automobile
to st. Elizabeth's hospital. He was
unconscious then, and died two hours
later.
Surgeons said he had suffered seri-
Gus internal injuries, and had he
told his parents about his hurt when
be came home to supper his life might
have been saved.

TRAGIC End of a Girl "Stmt Flyer"

her way back.
PEBBLES, seeing her predicament,
flew low over a lake and called and
motioned for her to cut loose and
drop, but she feared to take the
chance or else was entangled and
could not, so again the plane scared
up.
The mechanician on the ground saw
the tragedy that was being enacted
before the eyes of thousands and sent
a hurry call for an ambulance and
doctors these soon arrived.
Still the plane circled above, giving
the girl every chance to make her
way back, but darkness was fast de-
scending, and landing was neces-
sary.
PEBBLES headed for the landing field
and holding the death ship about 20
or 80 feet from the ground, he again
begged the girl to let loose and fall,
but still she held on. The plane
dipped to the ground and its speed
slackened to the minimum.
The girlish form at the end of the
rope ladder crashed with terrific I'M
pact, and as she was dragged for
nearly 100 feet, she was disfgured al
most past recognition.

COWBELLS SAVE THE GRAPES
Novel Alarm Devised by New Yorker

Exasperated by nightly raids Of
small boys on his grape arbor, q
Sheepshead Bay IN. Y.) resident has
stopped their depredations by attach
Ing cowbells to the vines. The slight
est pull at the tempting fruit jingles
the alarm and puts the intruders to
flight.
The sandy soil near the bay is par
icularly adapted for grapes and most
of the other houses have large arbOrs
In the back yard. Boys from the new
er houses, which have no arbors. be-
gan to call under the cover Of dark
ness even before the grapes were ripe.
They not only took the fruit, but
ruined the vines by crawling and STUN
bling over the arbOr.
But the cowbell alarm brings the
owner to the door and a second scare
Is generally avoided by the boys. Sew
eral neighbors. noting the efficiency OF
the system, have also installed cow
bells among their grape vines.
