 made me afraid that 1t was broken, l When l had lifted the bicycle from

 body, my fears were realized, for he gave quick, sharp moan. My leg" he groaned, then as he returned to full consciousness, he rose on one elbow, his face contorted with pain, and then fell back against me poWerleas 10 move, I lowered him gently to the ground, ran to the car, got the robe and the seat cushions dragged them back beside him, and the half-eonscious boy and spoke softly but distinctly.
 T must get you on these cushions before l leave you" l said distinctly Try to help me all you can, so that l will not hurt your leg more than necessary
 I-must-go," was all the answer l could get from him. So setting my teeth, I took him by the shoulders and managed 10 get him over on the car cushions. I think he tainted when l had to disturb his doubed-up leg but by the time I had him safely on the cushions with the robe cover- ing him he had rallied to conscious ness again, and I bent to hm speaek- ing firmly slowly.

 ''No no, don't wait" he said, fever ishly, evidently realizing for the first time the necessity for my going. ''You are sure you can manage the wheel?"
 Absolutely sure" I replied, salving my conscience for the falsehood with the certain knowledge that if Mr Chester kne" the truth, tIldl never had mounted a bicycle in my life, l would have been unable to manage him
 He put out his hand and caught my dress as I moved away.

WILD GRAPES ARE HERE!

ID
 The wild grapes were ripe, The evening that Fatty Coon made the discovery he had intended to stroll down to Farmer Greens barnyard just to see if he couldn't find somA- thing good to eat. But as he climbed the stone wall beside the pasture, he noticed a delightful odor that came from right beneath his nose. Wild grapes. Nothing else could smell like that
 Fatty Coon stopped short, plucked at the vine that covered the wall picked himself a bunch of grapes and ate every one. They tasted so good that he spent a long time there. working his way back and forth along the stone wall in his search for the purple fruit.
 To Fattys mind there was only one drawback about eating wild grapes They were too small. Now, if grapes were only the size of apples how much faster one might eat them
 He soon decided that it was foolish to eat the grapes one at a time. So he crushed whole punches into his mouth They were dead ripe. And soon Fatty's paws and his whole face as well wer stained a beautiful rich red from the juice.
 He stayed away from home all night Indeed he was a bit late for breakfast MT and Mrs. Coon were already eating when Mrs. Coon heard what she thought was her sons step outside.
 Come right in and get your breakfast" she called.
 She gave a little cry he next mo- ment as red, red face appeared in the doorway.
 My goodness! Who is this?" she asked her husband in an undertone.
 T don't know" Mir. Coon replied. But you invited him to breakfast, We cant turn him out now"
 To the red-faced stranger he said gruftly, Sit down, sir! You're wei come to such as we have in our hum ble home
 The newcomer seated himself at Fatty's place; and then how he did eat! He thrust his red paws right into the dishes in the middle of the table and helped himself freely and often. And all the while he never said one word.
 MT. and Mrs Coon did their best to keep pace with their guest They saw that if they didn't hurry they would get little more breakfast

| The party given by Dollars" Can | by in his sumptuous Bungalow" or the roof of the Frolics theater turned out to be so discreet and wholesome | ly jolly that everyone was reassured for saly-except Golden, who knew | his financial packer too we'll That Canby did not press his liking upon Sally meant only that he was too determined to be in haste It did not surprise Golden, then, when after the party Canby said:
 Why that child has personality personality tell you, besides being "a darned lovable kid. Educate her, and I'll foot the bill. Give her book stuff, voice dancing. stage stuff, .so- ciety mings-everything.
 She'll take peach of a polish But first sign her up hard and fast with us for five years. Make it the hardest contract to break that ever was built. No other managers going to reap what I sow"
 Golden obeyed orders, drew up the contract and called in Sally to sign She read it-and looked startled.
 Why, Mir. Golden, all that money for me? Why-why. I don't deserve it. 1--I got so scared and"
 Its what you will do, not only what you did," Golden evaded. We think you're promising"

 "Canby and l." He colored You're to be trained-really good teachers and all that sort of thing. Sally, it's your great chance"
 Chance! There it was again, the word Sally translated always as "op- portunity," never as risk"
 She looked into Golden's eyes, which looked back levelly, picked up the pen--and signed the contract.
 Life became very full for Sally. Her stage fright soon wore off and she revealed what that first audience fresh, sweet, modest per sonality that had known the grim side of life and mellowed under it.
 She went to live with Lucy Bennet's and morning, afternoon, Sum- days and sometimes holidays she studied with a faithfulness that over joyed her tutors and music, dancing and physical training teachers. Eve nings she continued at the theater, her parts gradually growing in importance as her capacity grew.

 Sally rose from the table excitedly and drew on her wrap with nervous fingers.

The Reason Tom Chester Had to
 Give Up the Task

Lillian's scheme worked perfectly But a few yards the other side O the entrance to the wood road, where We were sure the strange limousine was concealed, was glade-like open ing into the woods. not ambition, enough to be called a road but wide trance to conceal car,
 Dicky and I had parked our cal there out of sight of the road many times when we wished to take 2 tramp through our favorite wooded hills little distance away and I knew just the turn to make to land the cal safely out of sight. With a wide flung hand to signal my father behind us, l turned the car into the glade, hearing the prearranged steady toot- ing of the horn of my fathers car as I shut off the ignition and the car slid gently to q standstill
 For several minutes after the noise of the engines and the horn had died away we sat breathlessly waiting for any indication from the road behind us that the occupants of the limousine 
 pected our ruse.
 Then as no sounds but those com mon to the woods at night reached our ears, Tom Chester descended slowly and with evident pain from the seat beside me to the road below, and opened the tonneau door with the evident intention of taking out his bicycle, which Dr. Petit and my father had loaded into the car before starting l scrambled down quickly beside him, and in spite of his fierce ly whispered protects, managed to take upon myself the greater part of the lifting of the bicycle to the ground I saw the intrepid young chap stagger as he put his hand upon the bicycle ready to mount 1t, and l moved toward him quickly and put a restraining hand upon his arm.
 You cannot" I began, but he shook off my hand, not angrily, but as if he were carried out of himself by the indomitable will which was lash ing his body to action.
 Yes I can, he whispered hoarsely, and with an effort which I could see taxed every ounce of his strength he mounted the wheel, made few zig zagging strokes toward the road and fell heavily, with his bicycle covering him.
 "I--Must-Go."

 It may be embroidered or beaded if one wishes, but many extYmely beau tiful models are shown with no trim ming at all beyond, perhaps, a large caeoehon buckle, series of side drapes or deep Bertha collar of metal lace.

Trained ANIMAL Acts.
The Ringlings have specialized this
year in trained animal acts. The
enormous success attained by the
trained horses of Hess last year inspired
the brothers TO search the Continent FOR
similar acts. and therefore sleek and
shining equincs perform now IN three
rings instead OF one; thirty or focty
beautiful horses, coal black. dappled
gray, sorrel, brown and bay, drilling ir
amazing evolutions.
Also among the new acts that tool
we'll yesterday was Nine. Clare and her
troupe of trained elephants-that is. for
people who like trained elephants. Then
there Is a troupe of Arabs which con-
tains women performers, a novelty in
deed since the Koran frowns upon such
unladylike activities. One of the best
OF all is an act maQe up Oh u pair OIL
equestrienne ladies. whose address is
given as the Ural Mountains in the cir
Gus programme.
OF the familiar acts. there are the
trained dogs cleverer than which SIM
ply do not exist: Nine. Bradna, her
horse. her dogs and her doves; the
Clarks and the Siegrist-Silbon aerialists.
And there is Leitzel, temperamental half

overlook that thrilling fact And there
are fioclSs and droves Of interesting new
