TODAY IS FRIDAY
18TH, HOODOO DAY
Those Inclined To Be Supersti-
tious Are Watching Their
Step To Avoid Jinx

There is no day OF more fearful
omen to the superstitious than Fri
day the 18th. Many there are who
regard Friday as the unfortunate day
of the week and thirteen as the most
unlucky of numbers, but when the
fates decree that these two shall oc-
cur simultaneously those who are
wary of signs and hoodoos throw up
their hands in resignation and pre-
pare for the worst.
Would Blame All On Jinx
Every fire that occurs today, every
accident. or misfortune OF any kind,
from an automobile collision TO the
bruising of corn, will he traced
promptly and with certainty to the
host OF cloven-hoofed, horned demons
from the realm of misfortune who
swooped upon Annapolis and the rest
of the nation at exactly one second
after IL o'clock last midnight. To
those who are superstitious the small
lest event of the day will take on
doubleedged significance from the
jinx that is supposed to possess il.
Even the deluge of rain which has
rendered the streets sloppy and trav-
cling unpleasant will be hailed by
these people as conclusive proof of
the widespread prevalence of evil for
tune, which, they say, is only to be
anticipated on such date.
There are, however, many brave cit
izens of Maryland who fiout the devils
of Friday the 18th with smile and
declare that such a superstition to-
longs back in the days of witchcraft,

The preacher was far slower and
quite noticeably embarrassed over the

too large, the shabby trousers too
tight, the faded straw hat ridiculously

Hardly had the circuit been CON-

that Counterman's Judgment would be

the best of the day The good fish
were dropped into the live box. the

return to the village. The braii sticks

some distance farther up the bar and
stood gazing intently toward the mar

where IT disappeared under the over
tapping branches Of trees and tangled
vines. Snugged away under the tangle,
In manner that must have made 1t
practically Invisible except from that
one point, lay small houseboat.
A trifing circumstance enough
houseboats were Common ON the Wa
bash-but why there? The place was
dark and dank, the bank boggy, and
there was no spring short of Alpine
island. The woodsman turned and
motioned to his companions.
They had been watching him and at
his sign came trooping up the bar
the preacher tagged and tagging be-
hind-and gathered around him. Fol-
lowing the direction of his finger, they
peered in under the overlapping trees.
Counterman grinned around at the
others after a moment and jerked his
thumb back toward the skiff
"Sposin' we row up an pay i'm a
visit? I'd like t see a man with sich
an eye f'r campin' place"
Uncle Nick tossed up his chin, grunt-
ed, and led the way down the bar to
where he had beached the boat.
The preacher appeared to be consid-
erably vexed at the further prolonga-
tion of trip that was growing more
and more irksome to him. It might
almost have been imagined that
frown ruff1ed the studious primness of
his brow, But as the skiff glided up
the narrowing arm of dead water. he
appeared to get himself in hand again
The frown disappeared and his air be-
came that of man only mildly inter
ested In what went on about him.
There Is little formality among men
of the river and the woods--a fine
enough delicacy, though. when big mo-
ments come. They brought the bow
of the skiff up under the stern OF the
secluded little craft and climbed
aboard.
There was both fore ana an aft
door to the tiny cabin that occupied
the whole mid-section Of the. deck. but
