III HE dam itself didn't appear to
be a natural formation of rock
It looked more like driftwood
but it was inconceivable that
mere drift could be piled IN this or
dered way.
1T must be a beaver dam" he said.
You're right for once" Doomsdorf
agreed
"a big beaver weighs about fifty
peunds-and he's about the handiest
hoy to trap there is. You'll wonder
what the purpose of these dams is.
As far as I can make out, simply to
keep the water at one level. You
know these little streams rise and
fall like the tides. They've learned,
in a few hundred thousand years of
their development, that it doesn't pay
TO build a nice house and then have
the creek come up and wash II away
and drown them out"

Bess, a seamstreSs, are survivors OF a
shipwreck. They take refuge on an
island inhabited by man named
Doomsdorf and his-Indian wife. The
master of the island tells Ned and
the girls they must be his slaves.
Lenore is too weak to do any work

The prisoners build a cabin and
Doomsdorf gives them an old stove.
AS soon as the cabin is completed

LONDON BUILDINGS
 UGLY, AYERS SHAW

LONDON, Feb. 13.-George Bernard Shaw is on the warpath again. In a letter to the Architect, the journal of the English Society of Architects, he thinks that London's buildings are very ugly, and suggests many improve ments, one of which would be to re- move the top story of the House of Parliament.
 "The Houses of Parliament could be made almost presentable by remov- ing the top story" he says.
 "Why don't you send competent young man around London to suggest Improvements in existing ugly build tngs, and to mark the hopeless ones for demolition?" he asks.
 Clearing out from Westminster Abbey a lot of ugly tombs" is an other one of his suggestions for beau tifying London. eg,.,r~~ y,,

0LD-FASHI0NED WALTZ
 IS AGAIN COMING BACK

VIENNA, Feb. 13.-The old-fash- toned waltz has come back to Vi enna. And the old-fashioned folks are rejoicing.
 Here in the town where the waltz was born, to the great horror of the old ladies of the early 18th century, who declared that the new dance was the scandal of the age and the eli max of indeceny, people are now "modestly" waltzing to the tune of the Beautiful Danube" At least the old ladies of today declare that the waltz is the height. of modesty.
 Up to a few weeks ago people used to do the fox trot to waltz music. But the word came down that in Paris and London the waltz is again the thing So as if my magic the "came1 walks" shimmy" and Kangaroo trot" have joined the fox trot in the limbo of forgotten things

MOUSE MAKES NEST IN
 CASH REGISTER; MEETS
 FATE WHEN BELL RINGS

NORRISTOWN, Pa., Feb. 13. - A mouse which built it's nest in a cash register of the Keasby and Madison Company, at Amber, near here, caused hurry call to the offices of the concern here for an expert to fix it.
 When a clerk in the store rung up the first sale in the morning the cash register emitted a series of strange sounds and refused to print the usual customers receipt So far as the clerk could see the machine was o. K, so he decided to phone for an expert.
 Before the local man arrived, how ever, a mouse was discovered in a back compartment of the cash drawer and it's occupant later forced from it's hiding place in the mechanism and killed.
 The grocery company has been in the habit of leaving the drawer open at night, so that if burglars entered the store they would not break the register to get money which it did not contain.
