Nobody Seems Particularly Disturbed When Vaudeville LOnaedienne

Why is it that a runner" in a

draws every ones attention to her
legs?
And why is it, after she has re-
moved her stockings, that few no.
tice her?
Pert Kelton, vaudeville come
dienne, was strolling through Gen.
trail Park last spring when one Of
her stockings developed one of
those annoying Jacobs ladders"
Miss Kelton, conscious Of the
pedestrians stares, noticed the ac-
cident and forthwith removed her
hosiery.
Maybe they'll stare harder than
ever she thought. ''but I'll feel
more at ease barelegged than with
holey hose"
But itIseems that the psychology
of your scurrying pedestrian is
such that he sees only that which
he Is accustomed to see.
Passes On
He sees a young lady in a pink
dress. The young lady has bare
legs. The pedestrian is accus-
toned to seeing young ladies in
fleSh-colored hose. His mind as
sumes that the manufacturers of
flesh-colored hose performed an
other miracle, and skips on to the
next pair of legs.
The cool breezes of springtime,
the saving of vulgar dollars spent
for stockings, combined to decide
Miss Kelton to wear no more hose.
So she has rolled her stockings
into the discard Ever since that
memorable spring day she has gone
bareiegged, with her feet encased
in toe-revealing white leather san
dals.
No FURRY
She walks through crowded
streets and creates no furry at all.

Shopland stepped out. Of the taxicab
and. raising his hat, walked quietly
away. Francis directed the man to
drive to Charges street. AS they
drove off, he was conscious Of fold
ed piece of paper in the corner where
his late companion had been seated.
He picked 1t up. opened 1t, realized
that it was letter from a firm Of
lawyers, addressed to Shopland, and
deliberately read 1t through. 1t was
dated from small town not far from
Hatch End:
Dear Sir:
Mr.. John Phillips of this firm. who is
coroner for the district, has desired mo
to answer the enquiry contained in

The taxicab came to a sudden stop.
Francis glanced up. Very breathless.
.Shopland put his head in at the win
dow.

Francis folded it up and handed It
to him.

was note Of defiance in his tone as
he slowed the letter away in his pock-
etbook.

Francis persisted.
Shopland stepped back.
"Mr Ledsam," he said, II told you,
some little time ago, that. so far as
this particular case was concerned l.
had no condolences to share with you.
1 am sorry that you saw that letter.
Since you did, however, 1 hope you
will not take it as liberty from one
in my position IL 1 advise you most
strenuously to do nothing which
might impede the course of the law.
Good day, sir!"

 Schooner Shows Up.
 Sure enough according to Bar rvs story, "a schooner turned up, out of a Canadian port, and, under standing the whole game thoroughly, she took off 5000 cases of liquor; and, while the modified crew were toiling at their task, who should come up but the American revenue cutter Ceneca.
 "All she could do that day was to stand by and watch the transship- ment of case after case of liquor from our ship into the schooner. She was so near that I could almost have tossed a biscuit onto her deck She could do nothing. We were out side the twenty-fve-mile-li limit.
 "All heard was one laugh-a laugh that seemed to scoff at the uselessness of laws. You can buy up the revenue men on land They make, in fact, nice little fortunes for themselves. But the cutters are Navy ships and are not to be bribed They do their best, but even they have been 'got-at'; for one night when I was in Rum Row, Seneca, chasing a motor boat, had her searchlights suddenly put out of action by someone on board"
 On July 30 Barry's boat received orders to proceed to Ambrose Chan nel still outside the twenty-fve-mile limit, where the real Rum Row is located, and where Barry came. into contract wit hthe real rum-runners, who take the risks, coming out to the cargo ships in speedy motor boats and carrying the forbidden stores back to land, running the gauntlet of revenue cutters-and c customs officials on shore.

American operator, buying up Eng fish liquor to stock the vessel which the operator provided.
 The Operator" with whom Barry last did business, an American, came over in de luxe style on a large transatlantic liner, stopped at a fashionable West End hotel and passed as an ordinary rich business man on holiday.
 An agent bought up 37,000 cases of whiskey for the operator, and the operator bought single screw steamer of 5000 tons to transport the supply of "wet goods" across the Atlantic. Barry signed on as second steward, being put down on the ships papers under that description, at wages of twenty-five cents per month
 Clears for America.
 The boat loaded at Leith, and sail ing papers were made out for Ham burg. From Hamburg, by some jug gling of maritime procedure, the boat was able to clear for America with her full cargo of whiskey, to which was added, from the German port, extensive supplies of champaign, cognac, gin and raw alcohol.
 The operator followed proceedings until the boat left Antwerp, when he skipped back to America on board the Berengaria, arriving in New York ten days ahead of the heaving- to of his rumship thus having time to make final arrangements with the rum-runners and customers for the smuggled booze.
 After slow trip across the Allan tic the booze boat hove to thirty miles southeast of Montauk Point, Long Island.

Bad weather wrecked more havoc with Barry's boat than the revenue cutters. In fact, they were never bothered by the law. But on August 26 hurricane swept them fourteen miles away from their station, car rying away dock cargoes of liquor, together with wireless apparatus, spars and iron hatchpins. Twenty six vessels were thrown up high and dry on the shores of Montauk liar bor. The next day Barry's boat was back at the old rendezvous. T went ashore with two lots of cargo" Barry continued. "The mo- tor-boat men always run in at night, being ready, with loaded boats, by nightfall to make the twenty-five or thirty miles run into harbor.
 They run into various ports and inlets along the Long Island and Monmouth oast, or inside the Low CT bay leading to New York. As far as I could discover, they ran no risk in landing their cargoes.

 "The fleet of booze ships that lies just out of sight of American land,' continued Barry, numbered that day about twenty-five vessels, most of them steel cargo boats, tended by schooners. >
 "The liquor operators find it more profitable to unload a cross-Atlantic cargo boat onto a schooner or store boat and send her back again for more booze, rather than keep her hanging about outside the limit for several weeks, while the motor boats take off their 200 cases at time.
 AS we steamed through the fleet there flOated across the water to us cheerful halls from the other buc- cancers. The first appeared to be in high fettle, Laws cutters and Reve- nue men; bullets and unsteady mar kets never seemed to worry them

 Many of the rum-runners are charming men. Some I met were university graduates, who find the life healthier, more entertaining and more profitable than selling scrap or shares.'
 Hi-Jackers Appear.
 Three rum-running pirates tried to loot the stores from Barry's boat. They appeared in a motor boat, with a plausible story and plausible ere dentials entitling them to take off 180 cases of liquor. But they didn' t have the code The operator had arranged that, on his first visit to the boat, by tearing bunch of dollar bills in half, giving one-half to the captain and keeping the other half himself Whenever a rum-runner appeared who had mali of a dollar bill the numbers of which cores bonded with one of the halves in the captains keeping, his requisition was filled.
