As soon as Raggedy Andy escaped from Mir. Gooly's house, he ran down the path towards MT. Sanky's house, for he thought that MT. Sanky still had Raggedy Ann and little Walter prisoners. But what was Raggedy Andy's surprise and delight, when, turning a bend in the path he ran smack dap inA Raggedy Ann. Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy ran into each other so hard, they both fell over back wards, but this did not hurt either, for, being made of cloth and stuffed with nice soft, white cotton, they did bump their heads as little boys and girls would have done.
 "Well, Raggedy Ann! How did you happen to escape from Mir. and Mrs. Sanky?" Raggedy Andy asked.
 And how did you happen to es- cape from Mir. Gooly, Raggedy Andy?" Rsggedy Ann asked.
 Then, when they had told of their escapes, Walter said, ''1 spect we had better be running away from here, for l am sure the Sankys will awaken and find us gone, then they will start to follow us! And NIT. Gooly will soon find out that you have escaped and he Will start 10 follow you. And, he may catch an of us!"
 Walter is quite right" Raggedy Ann said. Perhaps if we can find the duck boat, we will be able to fly away up over the tree tops so the sankys and mean Mr. Gooly will not be able to tell which way we have gone!"
 Listen" Walter whispered. "I heard something going, 'scritch scratch in the bushes there, Do you think it is the duck boat caught again in the vines?"
 You two stay here and I will see what it As" Raggedy Andy said. Maybe it is MT. Gooly or Mir. and Mrs. sanky sneaking up to capture us again"
 So Raggedy Andy cut a large stick so that if Mir Gooly tried to hit him with his cane, Raggedy Andy could fight a duel with him. And with the large stick, Raggedy Andy went through the busheS
 Raggedy Andy was gone a long time, and Raggedy Ann began to wonder what had happened to him. when suddenly she felt herself seized from behind, and Walter also felt himself caught.
 Aha" Mir. Sanky and Mr. Gooly cried, for it was these who had captured Raggedy Ann and Walter this time you shall not escape, fol we shall fasten you to the table les with chains and then you can no cut them with a knife"
 And Mir. Sanky and Mir Cool! started dragging Rsggedy Ann anc Walter towards Mr. Sanky's house Mrs. Sanky will be glad 10 SC, you." Mir Ssnky said. For she vii make you get dinner in hurry can tell you!"
 "oh! She will, will she?" Ragged! Andy cried, as he gave Mir. Sanky ; crack upon the top Of his hat witl the large stick.
 NIT. sanky let go of Raggedy Am and sat down in the center Of tht path and howled. Then Raggedy An

WAGON AT
 PALACE THEA7ER
One of Greatest 7riumphs Of Year to Be Shown Entire Week

One of the greatest motion pie ture successes of the year will be shown at the Palace theater dur ing the week of September 2S when "Th Covered Wagon" termed by all critics a "veritable triumph" will be seen. Added to the attrac- tion of the picture will be the presence of 12-piece orchestra.
 The picture is a romance of the vanished frontier days. when the hardy pioneers who made this na- tion possible, risked their lives in traversing the wildernesses between the east and west coasts. The Covered Wagon" not only paints the most ,realistic picture Of the making of the west, but it reveals a love story of great sweetness, love in a rumbling wagon train, hostile g. Indians. fierce prairie fires and wild rides over shimmering sands and swollen streams
 The human character of the play CTS in this great drama is what makes the story of this production tense, appealing and so notably ef- fective. It, contains hundred breathless thrills and lives on. the screen the history of the country. It depicts those terrible experiences of the days of '49 when the terrible warning cry Corral! Corral! h. dian!" sent the covered wagons scrambling in mad haste into a pro- tecttve circle. It shows the thun- dering horses. the wild rush of yell low red men smeared in war paint. Rou1d and round the circle of | death, fiery and bullet swept, all amazingly real in this picture, It shows 500 believing mon- archs of vanishing race coming like the wind while 500 horsemen risk their lives amid the tornado of | hoofs, when the buffalo hunt is on. It brings to mind the story of Buff falo Bill in all his pride ard glory as master of the range.
 Combined with all these, is the superby acting of J. Warren Kerri- gan and Lois Wilson. the two main figures in the tender romance which lives through the journey of fire and bloodshed.

shooting that afternoon.
 There were only few more specl- mems that were wanted here, mostly birds, and they could wait until, it was fine weather. So we sat around the luncheon table in the hotel din- ing room and exchanged stories about hunting and other things con- nected with the country.
 Next day was fine and the sun was shining, and it did not rain during the remainder of our brief stay at Naivasha. Every morning, after that first wet day. Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit rode off on a shooting trip.
 One day Roosevelt brought back with him a great prize, which great ly delighted the heart of Mearns. He had the great good fortune to discover and kill fine specimen of the rarest of all African birds, the Jabiru. Its scientific name is Ethio- hpiorhyncus Senegalesis. That is what Means said it was-and his identification is beyond all question. [ On another occasion, Mearns, Lor- ing. Kermit and myself took Colonel Roosevelt out to try his luck by moonlight with the willy spring-haas and the African fox. At first he was somewhat nonplussed by the unaccustomed nature of the sport, but he was soon hard at work and was most successful. He achieved better results, before the evenings s sport ended, than anyone else had accomplished. He told me that he was highly amused by the novel ex- perience.
 At last, the day of departure for the elephant country dawncd. The huge caravan started off, with much trumpeting of native horns and much singing. It gave me tho inn precision of huge, winding snake as it crept away in single file over the brown veldt toward Nyeri
 Colonel Roosevelt Kermit. Heller Cunninghame and Tarlton rode of on the trail of the porters after they had lunched at the Rift Valley hotel Their first camp was 10 be spot some few miles away from the Moro river.
 Colonel Roosevelt killed his first bull elephant near Kenya. knew how keen he had been to get com plete group of these elephants for the museum. and how anxious he had been to kill them in a cooler climate so that Heller could have 6 better chance of saving tho complete skins and in good condition.
 Although elephants are much big, ger and have larger tusks in Ugan. da, yet the difficulties of preserving the skins in that country are enor. nous, owing to the terrifice heat Colonel Roosevelt, therefore, had been most anxious to secure hi; group in the less torrid climate oi East Africa. To skin an elephant takes, at the lowest estimate, three whole days-no matter how pro. ffcient the skinners may bc; and from this it may readily be under. stood that Heller and Cunninghamt had no light task 10 perform,
 While Cunninghame was helping Heller to save this first elephan skin. Colonel Roosevelt went of toward Mweru for a hunt, whilt Kermit and Leslie Tarlton hunted toward the northern Guaso Nyir, county. As usual. they were phe nomenally successful Colonel Roose welt killed his second bull elephan near Mweru and Kermit killed fiv' more lions snd three more buffal' in the northern Guaso Nkiro.

 Melstone." This cable I also telegraphed to Colonel Roosevelt at Nyeri, and awaited his answer to both of them. A few days later received a further cable from New York, which read as follows
 "Foran, Nairobi
 Forward the following message to Roosevelt. Quote. Your farewell was a royal mascot, the Pole is ours.
 Peary." Again I telegraphed Colonel Roosevelt at Nyeri; and so far had not received from him any answer to my two earlier messages. There was nothing to do but wait and be patient. It was quite possible that he was out of touch with the tele- graph offices.
 After some days of patient wait ing, I received a letter written in pencil from one of his camps in reply to my three telegraps. This letter was written before Kermit went off from Mweru for Lake Harrington and Lake Baringo, and Roosevelt for the Guaso Nyiro. The letter read:
 On Safari, Sept. 12, '0a Dear Foran:
 The three cables are at hand; I answer by letter, because I cant get to Mweru for a couple of days anyhow; and moreover I can explain better than by mere cable.
 If the news about Peary's having gotten to the North Pole is unques- tionably authentic. and not other wise, publish the following from me: "I rejoice over Captain Peary's great achievement. Too much credit can not be given him; he has performed one of the great feats of the age, and all his countrymen should join in doing him honor"
 As for the other two cables. can not make head nor tail out of them Who is Dr. Cook? What has he discovered Why is he going to Copenhagen How does 1t concern me. anyhow?
 Since I last wrote you, have killed two more elephants and Ker- init has killed one also, and rhino- ceros. Soon Kermit and I separate he going toward Lake Harrington and across the Guaso Nyiro. Will you tell this to Ward, and the Reuter- people?
 Good luck,
 Faithfully yours,

After this great fortune they re- turned to the government Bona at Mweru, and then Kermit went off to hunt elephants, Colonel Roosevelt remained at Mweru while his second elephant bull was being skinned.
 When Heller and Cunninghame had accomplished this task, Colonel Roosevelt rode into the northern Guaso Nyiro, where Kermit had en- ioyed such good sport. Here Colo mel Roosevelt killed two more ele- plants, while Kermit killed one ele- phant and a very good rhinoceros.
 After killing his elephant, Kermit accompanied by Leslie Tarlton, started off for hunt toward Lake Hannington and Lake Baringo,
