ments. The gowns Of the feminine
stars are said to be the last word
in ultra-modern style.
Again, it is said that seldom have
prison scenes. notably the death
cell in Sing Sing prison. been more
faithfully pictured. The approaches
to the death chamber vest the pic
ture with a realism that Is guar
anteed to thrill the most blase'

Mass Heeting In Rock Island VII
Hear Full Report Of Jewell
Negotiations.

A mass meeting Of Silvis strik-
ing shopmen will be held In the
Rock Island Industrial home to-
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.
The purpose Of the meeting is to
have an open discussion pertaining
to the proposed settlement OF the
strike and to advise the men of
late actions and results Of the con-
ferences between the union and
railroad officials.
Silvis strikers today were very
much uncertain Of the proposed
settlement They are waiting for
further word from B. NJ. Jewell.
The men assembled about the Sill
Wis city hall this morning were too
busy either pitching horseshoes or
watching the games to discuss the
situation. Those approached on the
subject do not believe that the
unions will consent to the wage
scale set by the United States Ia
Dor board. They believe that the
unions will insist on a higher fig
ure.
S. w. Mullinix, superintendent OF
the Silvis shops, reported that
business is going on as usual al
! the shops" More men were ship
ped in last night. 1t is probable
that many more are on the way, he
says. Construction Of the barracks

and. they followed Kathie TO the
empty barn.
A delightful time they all had. and
Kathie left them very reluctantly,
for she did not want to as late for
school.
Dance with us again." said the
fairies as Kathie sped away.
Il will! 1 Will" called back the
little girl,
The next day Kathie saw the
dancing fairies again under the crab
apple tree, and again she invited
them to the barn and again danced
with them.
kathie noticed that no matter how
fast the fairies danced they made no
noise with their feet.
my shoes make too much clattery
she decided. I'll dance without them
So off went Kathie's shoes n her
dancing was nov as light and noise
less as that of the fairies themselves.
For many a month. and even for
several years. did Kathie dance reg
ularly with her fairy friends. aIv-ays
inviting them into the disused barn.
She lever told anyone, for she
imagined the Little People would not
be pleased II she did so. She grew
very fond OF them. and though they
all were as small as she was, vet
they seemed quite old.
They dressed very prettiiy and the
lady fairies all wore either little blue
or grean aprons. and the gentlemen
little short blue or green capes.
At last the day came when Kathie
now growing a nne. large girl, must
leave school, as she had reached the
very highest class in II.
When she told the fairies they
were very much grieved and said:
Then We will have no more
dances in the old empty barn with
you"
NO" said Kathie. "I will be too
busy now at home helping my moth
er with the care of the household to
go out and dance. but I shall never
forget the good times we have had
together"
Sorrowfully they babe Kathie
"Good-by" and meyer again did she
see them or dance with them under
the crabapple tree. But she treas
ured all her life a little blue apron
and a little Green cape they gave her
on parting.

For the ~parrakeet you must dance

1t was a very attractive air that
the parrakeet sang. and, when the
eldest daughter heard IT. she was ir-
resistibly compelled to dance.
When she did not return with the
water. he- father sent his younges,
daughter to the well to see why she
tarried so long.
When the youngest daughter reach.

singing.
Before your pitcher In. the well you

For the %parraxeet you must dance

she, like her sister, was Obliged tc
skip and dance, keeping time to the
singing of the parrakeet.
Then the mother said: 81 can not
imagine what is keeping our two
daughters so long. 1 will go and
see"
Then the father got impatient.
Never knew such dawdlers," he
exclaimed. Il will so and teach
them not to keep me waiting SO
long!"
SO. of to the we'll went the father,
but when the parrakeet saw him
coming 1t played the fiddle louder
and faster. and sang:
"Play. little fiddle; play it soon
Play for him now the pepper tune
And, as soon as he heard the very
first note. the man began to dance and
jump about the well as II he were
crazy. And the parrakeet kept play
ing and singing faster and faster,
and the man kept going around in
circles faster and faster. utterly I'M
able TO stop himself.
When the sun was about to sink in
the west. the parrakeet put up its I'D

and the mai, his wife and two
daughters fell down from sheer ex-
haustion.
But never again did that family
use pepper.
