Fairy Tale
SAMMY SAUsAGE's SPRING

"Grunt, grunt," said Sammy Sausage
"Squeal, squeal," said Mrs. Pink Pig
"Grunt, grunt,' said Grandfather
Porky.
"Squeal, squeal," said Miss Ham,
and Mrs. Pinky Pig said,
"Squeal, squeal, grunt, grunt."
Pinky Pigs mother joined her son
in his grunting-squealing song, and
Master Pink Pig wiggled his snout,
looked out of tie corner of n eye,
twisted his tail and said,
Il can grunt, grunt, too
$50 can l, grunt, grunt,' said Broth
er Bacon. (

Sir Percival Pork, and Sir Benjamin
said:
"Squeal, squeal. grunt, grunt, grunt."
OF course little Baby Black Squealer
was s%quealing excitedly with all Of
the Others and Sammy Sausage said:
You're all copying me. l was the
n who grunted first"
IT'S a talent we all have, however"
said Brother Bacon.

"but l was grunting in honor of the

do you suppose the spring feels
honored. Sammy Sausageg' asked
Miss Ham, with a wink of her little
right eye.
Il feel sure it does,' said Sammy
Sausage.
"Glad you can feel that way with
out hurting yourself" said Miss Ham,
'for / feel that the spring does not
feel honored."
IL will tell you why I feel that it
does" said Sammy Sausage.
Gracious, Pigs" said Miss Ham,
Sammy has a reason for thinking as
he Does
"Yes,' said Sammy, II heard some
one saying the other day that he had
the spring fever-he felt lazy and as
though he did not want to do much.
"Of course I knew then that that
was the matter with me. Often we've
thought it was u own fault for be-
ing a little lazy but it was the spring

Witt bounded him.
cat last my father went back to his
tribe, to find hat my mother had sue
ceeded to the leadership. He was al
ready an Outcast among the whites
now he became an outcast among the
blacks also. The tribe respected him,
but they feared him, they thought he
was a government agent; they never
trusted him.. He had become the lone
Hest man in the whole world.
And as for me, the memory of
those early years was stamped indeli-
bly, upon my mind. I looked at men
and things from the natives point Of
view. /, too, was known as one of ma
tive blood. People pitied me, derided
me, but one held out a helping hand,
and never, until you honored me in
the coach had any man recognized
that might have the instincts of the

Il wanted you not to know. Has 1t
ever occurred to you that a simple
word from a stranger may change the
entire course of our lives? You helped
me when l had come to despair. Your
kindness meant more to me than you
can possibly recognize. For l will
speak plainly to you now that at last
you understand the faulty Of your
course.
when Mr.. De Witt became infatu-
ated with me | knew that he had a wife
downcountry whom he had abandoned.
And he knew that I knew it. He did
not deceive me. 1t had never entered
his mind that | could expect him to
marry a ona with native blood. He
had sworn to me that if | went away
with him his persecution of my father
should stop. There was nothing in his
conduct toward me that might not have
been done by any mar in Malopo. No
blame would have attached itself to
him in Malopo's eyes.
II told him that l was willing to
myself for my fathers sake.

a compliment to the spring than the
others do.
I'VE make spring last all the year.
1--WE can't do that, you talk abb
surdly,' said Miss Ham.
"Ah," said Sammy, maybe we don't
make the spring last all the year.
But all the year we're paying spring
the enormous compliment of feeling
lazy and as though we had the spring
fever.
And we always love mudl That is
a cooling thing which those who have
spring fever want to have"
Il never heard Of a grown-up want
ing mud and yet I've heard them speak
Of having spring fever said Miss
Ham.

mighty compliment and my reason for
thinking spring must be delighted is
because we keep up our respects to her
all through the year."

You needn't wonder" said Sammy
Sausage, for I've just told you so.
And so, you can save your pig
brains any extra effort you would have
had them make"
THANK you, kindly" said Miss Ham.
But speak of your own brains-and
don't judge mine by yours"
Il won't" said Sammy Sausage
proudly, which was not what Miss
Ham meant him to say.
And as Sammy talked on about his
spring fever and his compliment to
spring and Of his love of mud and of
the little seeds and goodies to be
found, he said:
Sammy Sausage loves the spring,
"Grunt. grunt, this | know.
"And the spring loves Sammy Sausage,
"Grunt, grunt. this is So"

Winton followed him, not along the
route by which they had come, but
along a defle in the hills, which led,
apparently, in the opposite direction,
though, after many t~wistings, it finally
turned southwark.
The desert appeared again. Wintoh
could see the vast, dead waste, which
was so appropriate to his heart, ex-
tended, fiat and like a frozen sea,
toward the horizon. An indeterminate
green line showed where the fertile
valley ended. A ridge of cactus trees,
which stood out upon the very verge
Of the sand, formed a sort of palisade.
The land was ablaze with sunlight
Winton stopped at the edge of the
desert and looked back. The noun
tains, %concealing Sheila, holding her
against him securely, had drawn to-
gether. Nothing living seemed to stir
among those clefts and peaks.
Yet, as Winton's eyes wandered up
ward they fixed themselves upon one
living thing, on the very summit of the
peak of all. which overhung
plain. 1t was the nude form of a
black sentinel, armed with spear and
large.
With the superb gesture Of a dis
cobolus the man hurled the spear,
straight Is an arrow, toward the sun.

occurred at Mcclellan and Market

call a Spanish game" One negro
looking for a Rev. Jones stopped the
brainy borough resident on New
Brunswick avenue and asked for the
reverend's address. Two more ne
groes Joined the questioner and the
four started through the central part
of the city. At Market and McClel-
Ian streets one OF the three negroes
informed Whalen that he had s1,100
in an envelope and was afraid he
would lose it. Asking the Metuchen
man for a sum to show good faith,
the envelope with the "$1,1 100" was
turned over to Whalen and he in

SHIELDS HOLDS
N. ]. INTEREST
Move to Have Him Quit Race
for U. S. Senate Comes
to Head Soon
HE MAY ACT TODAY
Both Party Conventions with
Action on Platforms to
Come Tomorrow

NEWARK. Oct. 6.-The Rev.
James K. Shields. Independent can
didate for United States senator,
who it has been rumored would
withdraw. had made no announce
ment at noon today on the subject
except to say that he is still in the
race. AT his Office it was said that
he was engaged in conference ana
that statement might be given out
during the day.
TRENTON Oct. 6.-Interest in the
state political situation today, on the
eve of the second session of the two
party conventions, centered IN the
possible withdrawal of the Rev.
James K. Shields as an Independent
dry" candidate for United states
senator. 1t is understood the Anti
Saloon League forces at washington
have been working on Shields to get
him out of the race in the interest of
United States Senator Edge on the
ground that everything should be
done by the dry forces to help
elect a Republican congress to aid
President Coolidge, who has been a
friend of the league.
If Shields notice of withdrawal is
filed today with the secretary OF
state an interesting point as to Va
lidity under the election law may be
raised. The act requires that such
declinations must be in the hands OF
the proper official .at least thirty
days before the day of said general
election Inasmuch as November
the fourth is the date of the COM
ing election. it is figured that yes
terday was the thirtieth day before
the day of election and that being
Sunday no notice of withdrawal
could be filed because the secretary
of states office was not open.
However, there has been rule in
the department that such papers
bearing a post-mark indicating that
they were mailed before the time
Knit expired will be accepted and
this may be applicable to Shields
resignation as a candidate, If it Is
received in today's mail.
But the friends of United States
Senator Edge and Mayor F. w. Don
nelly Republican and Democratic
rivals for the senatorial toga, now
worn by the formey, are awaiting the
decision of the former state super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League
with interest. For Shields to stay in
the race means an advantage for
Donnelly, as he would draw dry
Republican votes from Edge. The
latter, however, has said he is in
different as to what Shields does. Yet
it is significant that the move from
Washington to get him out of the
race started soon after the senior
senator conferred with the President
late last week.
