Bedtime Stories
The Young Fox Catches Dinner
By Thornton W. Burgess
To patience add a little ant,
And see hoW sple,,didly they fit.
Old Mother Nature.

Not once while Farmer Browns
Boys hens were outside the henyard
that first day did the young Fox show
himself after his first attempt to
catch one. You see, he didn't want to
be seen by those hens. He knew that
if they once saw him nothing would
tempt them to come near the place
where he was prisoner. He thought
them very stupid birds, but he knew
that they were not so stupid as not to
know Fox when they saw one.
SO all the time they were outside
the henyard, running here and there
about the barnyard, the young Fox
kept inside the box which was his
home. He hoped that one might come
within jumping distance of his door
way. But none did. He was disap
pointed. However, he had hopes.
Yes, sirs that young Fox had hopes.
He had thought of plan which might
bring those hens within jumping dis
tance some other time.
The next morning the young Fox
did not eat all the food Farmer
Browns Boy left for him. Some
scraps he left in his dish. The rest
of that day he spent watching the
henyard and hoping and hoping that

hens out again. But Farmer Browns
Boy didn't do anything Of the kind
and so when night came the young
Fox ate up the scraps and licked his
dish clean. The next day and the
day after ne did the same thing.
But on the fourth day he saw
Farmer Browns Boy go over to the
henyard. At once the young Fox hur-
ried inside his house and lay down
where he could peek out and watch.
He saw Farmer Browns Boy throw
the henyard gate wide open and pres
emily out ran all the hens. Because
they had been shut up for several
days they were glad to get out. They
scattered in all directions, running
this way and that way and making a
great fuss. Now and then the young
rooster would stop, stretch his neck,
flap his wings and crow.
BY and by one of those hens war;
dered near enough TO see the dish of
the young Fox. Now, that hen knew
that dish often meant scraps Of
food. Being greedy, as most hens are.
she ran straight FOR that dish as
fast as she could. The instant she
started to run another hen noticed

Says He Has Ring Title,
And Makes Police Agree
Sergeant Gives Up at End of
Third Round, but Pancl,o
Villa Faces a Charge

Pancho Villa, of 48 West Seventy
third Street, took on and defeated a
six-foot police sergeant in the East
f0Ath Street station yesterday after
noon to prove he wasn't blufing when
he described himself as fyweight cham
pion Of the United States. The ques-
tion came up when he was taken into
custody for getting into an automo-
bile collision at Fifth Avenue and
Ninety-fourth Street while he was
driving car listed in the name of
Frank Churchill without license.
After three rounds the sergeant
took off the gloves and declared that
his diminutive opponent must be a
champion.
Inasmuch as Frank Churchill was
known to be the fiyweight champions
manager the bout disposed of the sus-
picion that the car might have been
stolen. The charge of driving with
s,!t, ont license remained however, and
Villa was given summons to appear
in Traffic Court this morning.

right away that she had discovered
something. That hen promptly start
ed to run toward that dish. IN less
time than it takes to tell it half a
dozen hens were running for that
dish.
The eyes Of the young Fox glowed
with excitement. He was sure now
OF one Of those hens. But before try
Ing to catch one he. made sure that
Farmer Browns Boy was not about.
He felt it in his bones that it would
be well If Farmer Browns Boy should
not see him try to catch one of those
hens. So while the hens were greed

and snatching at the scraps Of food
the young Fox carefully and noise-s

Browns Boy. He was nowhere to be-
seen. There was no one to be seen
excepting those greedy hens.

shod in delightful yellow satin

Of the West Forty-seventh Street po-
lice station the hardest fight in years
Just as churches in the vicinity Of For
ty-ffth Street and Eleventh Avenue
were dismissed yesterday morning.
When Mrs. Pauline Wenzel, white
janitress employed in tenement build
ing at 546 West Forty Street, ran
into the arms of Patrolman Curran,
her, the patrolman pursued Mayo to the
top floor of the tenement. Adolph Wen
Eel, son of the janitress, found Mayo
crouching in dark closet under the
roof. The negro attacked him and
rushed down the stairway, eluding two
patromen. He ran to COG West Forty
fifth Street, pursued by crowd Of sew
eral hundred men and women. Mayo
made his way to the roof, and when
taken to the street again in custody Of
Patrolmen Curran and Dunnigan the
crowd had grown to huge proportions.
Although the police used their clubs
powered them. Mayo was seized by
infuriated women and most of his
clothing torn to shreds. A man ap-
peared with rope and scores were
shouting threats of death against
Mayo when the reserves arrived. De-
tectiyes Manley and Flood, in charge
of the reserve squad, fought their way
to the aid of Curran and Dunnigan,
who had dragged the negro to tenn
porary safety and were defending him
with their clubs.
So determined was the onslaught of
the crowd that patrolmen and detec-
tives were forced to club their way to
patrol wagon in which Mayo was re-
moved. He was arraigned before
Magistrate rockingham in West Side
court and held in $500 bail for ap-
pearance this morning. The police
say Mayo is also charged with an at
tempt to attack Helen Ryan, eight
years old, of SAG West Forty sixth

Taxi Thieves Flee
Amid Fusillade, but

Outdistance Pursuers i'm
Two-Mile Chase Down
10th Avenue; Patrolman
Struck by Speeding Auto

Tenth Avenue for two miles south
from West Fiftieth Street was trans
formed into pistol range early yes
terday, with speeding stolen taxicab
as the moving target. The cab was
recovered but the thieves escaped.
The chase began when John Quigley,
an inspector for the Yellow Cab Com
pany, observed one of the formers
cabs standing at curb in Fiftieth
Street, with seven men sitting in it..
Quigley, who was in a machine, picked
up Patrolman De Carlo. of the West
Forty-seventh Street station, and re-
turned to the spot.
AS the inspectors car approached
four Of the men leaped from the cab
and escaped. The other three drove
the cab to Tenth Street and south iii
that thoroughfare at breakneck speed,
the inspectors car following closely
in pursuit.
The policeman. after his calls to halt
were unheeded, opened fire on the cab,
sending more than a dozen shots after
it. The fusillade was augmented at
Twenty-third Street, when another pa
trolman stepped out and fired five
shots at the cab as it darted past him.
At Fourteenth Street Patrolman
Thomas Goodwin, of the Charles Street
station, hearing the shots and the roar
of the machines approaching him,
stood in the middle Of the street and
held up his hands in command for the
taxicab driver to halt. He leaped back
barely in time to save his life, the
cabs mudguard grazing him and
knocking him down. AS he struck the
pavement the policeman drew his re-
volver and pumped four more bullets
after the cab.
The cab finally outdistanced it's pur-
suers. Several hours later it was
abandoned by three men in an alley
adjoining the WaldorfAstoria Hotel.
Six bullets were found imbedded in
the rear Of the machine.

Mysterious Shot
Wounds Woman at
Bronx Film House
Piano Starts and Panic Is
Averted as She Is Carried
Out; Patron Believed to
Have Dropped His Pistol

A pistol was discharged last night
in the Melrose Theater, motion pic
ture house at 415 East 161st Street,
the Bronx, and Mrs. Anna Rosenblatt,
of 964 Morris Avenue, the Bronx, one
of about 600 persons in the .theater, fell
to the floor, wounded in the breast by
the bullet.
Spectators were on the verge of
panic, but took the shooting as a mat
ter of course when /. Krauz, manager
of the house, had the lights turned on
and Esther Tassie, the pianist, struck
up popular melody, to the tune of
which ushers carried the wounded
woman up the aisle to the managers
Office.
1t was found that the bullet which
struck Mrs. Rosenblatt as she was
about to take her seat in the fifteenth
row had grazed her abdomen and, fol-
lowing an upward course, drilled her
left breast and the flesh of her left
shoulder. She was treated by an ambu-
lance surgeon.
1t is believed that someone in the
fourteenth row who had brouaht his
revolver to his seat with him, dropped
the weapon just as Mrs. Rosenblatt was
opposite him in the fifteenth row and
that the impact discharged it. There
was no bullet hole in the floor and the
police were unable to explain the pecu-
liar course taken by the bullet other
wise.
Samuel Rosenblatt, husband of the
injured woman, who accompanied her
to the fheater with their daughter.
Pauline, said that the child had entered
the row of seats first. Mrs. Rosenblatt
followed and he came last. They were
siding toward three vacant seats near
the center of the row when Rosenblatt
heard the shot and saw his wife fall.
He saw no flash, he said, nor did he
observe anything else which might be a
clew as to the source of the bullet No
revolver was found on the floor when
the police searched nor could anyone
they interrogated throw any light on
the incident

down the avenue for two hours. The
sun was shining. Mile. Guilbert Gill.
iiard's yellow pajamas were of pure
shimn1ering silk, and the silhouette of
Mile. Guilbert Galliard's slim and at
tractive figure caused many people to
gasp and gather round. Mademoiselle did
not object. Neither did the four cats, also
clad in yellow pajamss, which paraded
solemnly behind Mile. Guilbert Gill
leashes of black silk ribbon.
Approximately five hundred persons
had gathered around the silhouette of
Mile. Guilbert Gilliard when the three
sergeants and the six policemen ap-
peared on the scene and began their
chant of Keep movin'." 1t was ma
demoiselle's big moment, the moment
Tor which she had labored all after
noon long. She held out her slim
wrists for the handouts.
The nearest Of the three sergeants
gravely shook hands with her.

In the Gilbertian Manner
"You are too beautiful" said the
three sergeants. "And beside, it is

We never, never, never arrest peo-
pie on Sunday" explained the six po-
licemen. after the Gilbertian manner.
Keep moving" said the six police
men and the three sergeants together.
So Mile Guilbert Gilliard did not get
arrested, and the reason for her pecu-
liar but interesting performance was
not placed on the police blotter.

was featured by a picturesque corn
dance, an Indian ceremonial. in which
long corn stalks We're effectively
used. The children were painted
and garbed TO represent chiefs,
braves, squaws and little redskins.
This episode gave way to the spirit
of the wilderness which served to in
.troduce a myriad of dancing groups
fetchingly attired as daisies. wild
roses, butterflies, poppies, dryads
grasshoppers, bluebiris, trees, tree
nymphs. mist maidens and pioneers.
The pioneers overcame the forest and
prepared the way for the spirit of
