were still at liberty this morning with
penitentiary guards and county officers
securing the country for them in all
directions.
Milt Good and Tom Ross, serving 81
and 55 year terms respectively, for the
murder Of II. L. Robertson and w. l..

Southwestern Cattle Raisers association
in Seminole on April j, 1923, led the
break With them went larence Whai-

35 year sentences in connection with
the holdup of two Dallas grocery col
lectors in 1922. Good had been visited
in the prison by a woman, who after
leaving remained in an automobile near
the prison walls. Shortly afterward
Good slugged z. Van Meter, prison
guard, with a gun, removed his keys
and liberated the other three men. The
quartet raced to the gate which was
chained They cut the chain, ran to the
car occupied by the woman and headed
west in the direction of Navasota.
The car passed through Huntsville
without attracting undue attention. No
shots were fired. Bloodhounds put on
the trail Immediately were unable to
keep up with the car.
Prison officials believed the woman
smuggled the gun to Good but think
the break must have been planned for
some time. Good had been serving as
a hospital steward, which allowed him
considerable freedom. He had been
granted two furloughs recently.
Van Meter was not critically injured
and was reported recovering here to-
day.

HELEN ROWLAND simply tn a t
point in a love-affair, where the
man understands that the girl
will marry him, if he can make
up his mind to ask her.
i
The task of the modern girls
life is to keep her innocent moth
er away from the plays and
movies, that no woman over
thirty should see.
There are the "chase-me" eyes,
the "help-me" eyes, the trust
me" eyes. and the "just-try-to-
resist me" eyes-and man has
about as much chance OF escap-
ing them all, as a jay-walker
crossing Broadway.
Wonders win never cease!
Every now and then you meet
a man who believes that woman
was made to be loved-and a girl
who wants to marry and bring
up a family!
4 &H
A man may sometimes doubt
that his company is welcome in
a group Of men-but he never
feels for an instant that his COM
ing will not brighten a girls
whole evening.
After it's all over, the average
man can't tell whether he bought
the set of books because he want
ed them, because the feminine
solicitor had a. child to support,
or because her eyes were the ZAP

It takes a clever woman to
keep her husband from ever dis
covering what a string Of ALSO

EXPENSIVE
PRESENT

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ met a young man last
summer and have been going
about steadily with him since
November. At Christmas re-
ceived an expensive present from
him. Was there any harm in
my accepting this gift? "
like this young man very
much. His ways and tastes are
ideal. He is a home man and I
am home girl. There's no
one else I would care to go
about with. He will be twenty
soon and will be twenty-one.
I don't believe he thinks Of me
seriously. Every night he used
to call me up and ask me to
come over to his home. Is it
right for me to go there every
night? I met his parents and
more than like them. 1 think
they are wonderful. My parents
like him too.
What bothers me most is this:
When my parents go out / stay
at my married sisters and take
care Of her little boy. This young
man lives the second door from
my married sister.
Now, when he called up ask.
ing nae over. and 1 couldn't go,
and told him why 1 couldn't go,
he didn't offer to call on me at
my married sisters. / think he
should have said, May 1 come
over to your sister's?" or May
/ see you tonight?" l don't be.
lieve he cares or he would have
asked to see me. Please advise
me. PUZZLED.
1T would have been wiser not to
Il accept the present, my dear,
since you and the young man are
just friends.
Unless his parents especially in.

OUCH a shrek resou e d
~ through the jungle! Bobby
clutched my hand and Bunny
gave one leap and landed in my
pocket.
What is it?" asked Bobby in
terror.
Sounded like a woman in dis
tress," I murmured, looking in
the direction from which the
strange cry had come.
1T startled me-" said Bunny,
jumping out of my pocket, but
don't you think we had better go
and see what it was?"
Yes" I answered, leading the
way. IF that is Il woman, she
must be in awful trouble and I
fastened my step.
Just then another shrek re-
sounded. l must admit I stopped
short, but this time Bunny 1idn't
seem frightened.
THAT didn't sound like the
other cry" I declared.
Sounded like a jackass," sug-
gested Bobby, for it did sound
for all the world like the bray

and sharp and trumpet like this

Bunny, shaking his head, "but I
am Of the opinion It is a female"

Bobby.

Bobby gave me a look of dis
gust as If to say:

terry again."
Soon we were very near, for
the harsh trumpeting all but
deafened us.
Through a thicket we crawled
and when we came out into the
open we were in a grove of big
trees.
We waited a moment, and it
seemed as If my ear.drums would
burst when right over our heads
came the loudest shrek yet.
There it was-or so we thought.
There was a big bird. He had
the largest bill you can imagine
and a kind of horny helmet on
his head.
He paid no attention to us
whatsoever, but went on dill
gently with his work. For he
was very intent upon it, l can
tell you.
What's he doing?" 1 asked
Bunny.

why did he wall her up?"
asked Bobby.
"He walled her up to keep
snakes and monkeys out Of the
nest" said Bunny.
"And didn't Mrs. Hornbill
mind?" Bobby inquired.
"Oh, no." Bunny replied. "She
was willing, all right, and her
husband never in the world
would forget to feed her. You
know those hornbills are most
faithful and are always kind to
