ADVENTUREOF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

The next station in Choo-Choo
Land was Bird Town. It didn't seem
likely that Ruby Joan, the lost rag
doll would come to such a place, but
Mister Punch, the conductor man,
told the Twins that they might as
we'll look, now that they were there.
SO they hoped off the little train
and looked around.
They were very glad that they had
come, for Bird Town was not at all
like they had supposed it would be.
Instead Of trees there were streets
all properly named and numbered.
But the whole town was up in the
air, for every single house was on
top of post.
On the nearest and largest house,
quite four stories high, and with
balconies all around, was large
sign which said Martin Hotel, We'll
come!"
eve had better go there and ask"
suggested Nancy. "Hotels are like
drug stores. That's where you go to
ask about anything you don't know"
They were just about to climb up
the post that held up the Martin
Hotel, when a CHEEKY voice called
down, Good morning, my dears, can
do anything for your
1t was Mrs. Martin herself in a
~ -
dust rug over the railing.
"We're looking for rag DOLL"
called Nancy. "Did you see herr"
"Had she anything to eat with
her?" asked Mrs. Martin. ANY
seeds or ripe-cherries or bugs?"
Goodness, no." said Nick.
"Well, I'll ask my next neighbor,"
said Mrs. Martin. "Oh, Mrs. Wren,
did you see a doll? ?"
"No!" said little Mrs. Wren stick
ing her head out of her tiny house.
"But I'll ask my next neighbor. Oh,
Mrs. Flicker, did you see a doll?"
mo-" said Mrs. Flicker, shut I'll
ask my next neighbour" And so il
went all down the street.
Ruby Joan was not in Bird Town
after all, so back went the Twins ia
the Choo- Choo Express.

me that the other night she saw
Leslie at the Midnight Follies with
Karl Whitney. They were alone and
Leslie seemed just baskng in the de-
voted attentions of that rich young
Lothario. Dear Priscilla says that
Leslie had on a low-cut gown with
her arms bare.
Have you quarreled with elsie,
John? Why did she meet this old
time lovers of hers in New York?
Dear Priscilla said she knew that
you were not in town as Leslie
locked so perfectly unattached and
fancy free. ~.
Oh John! did not>tell you so, but
felt that you were making great
mistake when you married this
pleasure-loving, frivolous girl. Dear
Priscilla tells me that in this public
place Leslie was smoking cigaret
and that she also followed that
shameless custom which many foof>
ish women practice OF rouging and
powdering her face where all may
see.

Jackie, and pleases everyone. "Mil-

other laughs come thick and fast
when Jackie mixes with the dish of
spaghetti, that he tries to eat; when
"Daddy's" pants won't quite fit; when
he tries to milk the cow. Then of
course, there has to be some pathos
which Jackie puts into a picture so
appealingly.

What promises to be one of the
best pictures of the season will be
seen when "The New Teacher" a
William Fox production, starring
Shirley Mason, opens at the Capitol
theater. Miss Mason, while only a
youngster, is one of the most love-
able persons appearing on the silver
screen.
Preliminary notices of her new
play say that she will enact the
role Of society girl who becomes
school teacher when the family
fortune dwindles. This Is the type
of role that Miss Mason should do
exceedingly, we'll, and is most after
her own heart.

 Montgomery

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Sept. 1.-The Little Rock Travellers will finish the Southern association season as practically completed for the trans fer of all remaining games on the home schedule to the home grounds of the rival clubs Under this ar engagement, Little Rock closed It's home season here tonight.
 Formal consent of all clubs In the league to the transfer had not been received tonight, but all clubs di rectly concerned have agreed. and 1t Is not thought that any of the others will withhold their consent.
 The transfer involves four series of games scheduled with Mobile, New Orleans. Birmingham and Atlanta.
 The Birmingham series cannot be played in Birmingham because the Barons' park has been leased out for these dates, but arrangements have been made to play the series In Montgomery, giving that city another taste of Southern Association ball. Three games are to be played in Montgomery September IS and 19, there being a double-header sched- uled for the second day.
 The transfer was made by R. O. Allen, owner of the local club, be- cause of the poor attendance at games here since Little Rock became hopeless tail-end club for the year. The transfer will save both the home club and visiting clubs from finan- cial loss.
