You Will Want to Know Beautiful Peggy Starr Heroine
the Most Interesting Story of Young Love Ever
Penned by Beatrice Burton.

: had left her arms aching with
emptiness.
In November, on the night be-
fore Thanksgiving, Peggy the
Second was born.
I'VE couldn't name her any
thing but Peggy the Second,
Mother Phelps said to Aunt Agony,
on Thanksgiving Day, when the
two of them came to pay their
respects to the new member OF
the family. She looks exactly
like her mother, doesn't she?"
Delighted With the Baby
Aunt Agony had to own that
she did.
The only person who couldn't
see the resemblance was Fanny.
He insisted that IL Peggy's eyes
were. blue. so were his own.
And he said the child looked
exactly like himself, IL his opin-
ion were worth anything.
He had scarcely ever noticed
the first baby. But the sec
ond baby was the joy and pride
of his heart.
For two weeks after 1t was
born, he came home every after
noon at o'clock, so that he
could see the nurse battle the
tiny creature and put it into
its tiny clothes.
On Christmas Eve he arrived
with small Christmas tree,
and he and 1olly trimmed it, with
much arguing back and forth
as to the placing Of ornaments.
II suppose I've never been so
happy in all my life as I am to-
night" Peggy said to them, as
she sat and watched them drap-
ing tinsel over the dwarf tree.
Her deep-blue eyes were sol.

Then, the day after Christmas
something did happen.
Peggy went out to the mail
box at II o'clock, and found two
letters in it.
One was q bin from the gas
company. and the other was q
letter from Babs DeIano.
All the rest OF her life Peggy
wished that she had torn that
letter up and scattered It's .frag-

Bearded Lizard

TNHE native land Of the Bearded
n Lizard is Australia, where it is
known as the Jew Lizard.
This species is in the habit of
assuming what appears to be an
attitude calculated to terrify pre-.
dacious birds and other enemies.
The mechanism by which the
terrifying action is produced Is
by a strongly-developed trans
verse fold on the neck.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 6.-Like
showmen of the tented world, train
ers and owners of race horses move
on to Louisville today after closing
their ten-day- show at Lexington yes
terday. The spring meet at Churchill
Downs opens Saturday, with the main
attraction, the Kentucky derby, sched-
uled for the next Saturday, May Is.
Among the several stables which
were brought to the downs and to
Douglas Park, a training track, were
those of F. r. Bradley, J. c. Milan
William Perkins, Charles Vanmeter,
j. N Camden, John Lowe, Fred Grab
ner of Chicago, and l.. r. Cooper. A
number of derby candidates were in
the shipments.
Headed by Bubbling over, the Brad
ley horses arrived at the downs this
afternoon, having made the trip from
Lexington in good shape. Bagen
baggage, Louisiana derby winner, was
shipped to Baltimore for the Freak
ness. He will be brought here as soon
as he has cooled out after that race,
and given his final preparation for

'otal stock sales $4,000 shares.

Trading in stock was practically at
a standstill today, but the undertone
continued firm. Total sales fell be-
low 100000 shares, the smallest of
any full session SINCE the middle of
October 1924 Commission houses
were virtually deserted, sporadic out
bursts of activity in special issues
representing the operations of pro-
fessional traders. The market APP
peared to be awaiting a decisive turn
in the British strike situation Opin-
ions as to the outcome abroad diff
fered widely, but in the absence of
any weakness in the London market
there was little disposition on the
part of spectators for the decline to
sell stocks here. Neither was there
any widespread desire to buy stocks
until the effect of the strike on
American business could be more
clearly defined.
A sudden advance in cotton prices,
probably inspired by reports of a
damaging rainstorm in the Corpus
Christi district of Texas, was one of
the outstanding features of the days
market. Other commodities showed
little change. More stability also was
apparent in the foreign exchange
market with the decline in French
and Belgian francs checked at least
temporarily.
Steel shares received good buying
support on reports that mill opera
tions were still around 80 per cent
of capacity although predictions were
heard that the untitled orders of the
United States Steel corporation for
April, to be published next week,
would show a shrinkage of around
5000 tons because of the widespread
between production and new business.
Special strength of Sloss- Sheffield,
which jumped over 5 points to 121,
was based on the belief that the
company would benefit by the cur
tailment of pig iron shipments from
Great Britain to this country. United
States Steel common closed a point
higher at 1924.
Various rumors were heard in con-
nection with the activity in public
utility issues, including predictions
of an early supreme court decision in
the 81 gas law and the merger of
large holding companies.
Net gains of 1 to points were
scored by about a dozen issues in
Guiding Brooklyn Union Gas, Consol-
idated Gas, Detroit Edison, Peoples
Gas and Philadelphia company.
Colorado Fuel, the Commercial Sol
vents issues, International Telephone,
Radio Corporation and United States
Distributing also showed impressive
strength, selling to nearly points
higher.
Fresh weakness cropped out in the
American Woolen issues, the common
touching 223s, the lowest since 1915.

DEMPSEY TO Be
FORCED TO MEET
HIS CHALLENGER

NEW YORK. May 6.-Only by de-
claring Jack Dempseys heavyweight
title vacant and elevating Harry Wills
to championship recognition in default
of the acceptance of the negro's long,
standing challenge can the New York
State Athletic commission open a way
for Dempsey to battle Gene Tunney
at the Yankee Stadium in September
Otherwise, Tex Rickard will be COM
PEELED to take the bout to his Jersey
City arena, Boyles Thirty Acres.
This somewhat startling pronounce
ment came today from George E.
Browe, member of the Boxing COM
mission. Brower it is conceded, holds
the key to the situation because of
the deadlock between Chairman James
A. Farley and Commissioner William
Muldoon. Farley insists that Wills be
given a title battle while Muldoon
supports Tunney. So far as recog-
nizing Wills as the leading challen-
ger is concerned, Brewer today defl-
nitely aligned himself with Farley.
At the same time, Brewer sees no way
by which the commission can force
Rickard to match Dempsey with Wills
instead OF Iunney or dlSclpllne the
promoter if he does not do so.
To hasten a solution of the problem,
Brewer may propose that Wills be de-
clared the champion. This, he ex-
plains, would be based 'on the failure
of Dempsey to sign definitely for a
bout with the negro.
Dempsey would then revert to tho
status of a title contender. AS such
he would be free to fight Tunney here
or elsewhere without interference by
the boxing solons.

GRAIN MARKET.
(Bv Disnatch A. ?. Wirel

CHICAGO, May 6-Serious crop
damage reported from Kansas and
from spring wheat territory today
tended to increase prices in the wheat
market here. Closing quotations were
firm at &c to sc net advance, with
corn NC to &c off, oats showing an
Csc up.
A leading authority sent word that
from Hays, Kan, to Great Bend, Kan,
the wheat crop has gone about the
limit of endurance, that some fields
are brown and dry, and that irrep-
arabic damage has been done by
drought, wind and dust. From other
sources came word that 100000
acres of winter wheat in northwest
ern and north central Kansas are
badly in need of moisture.
Almost Unprecedented deficiency of
accumulated and current moisture
was meanwhile shown by official fig
ures from the two Dakotas and Ne
braska At only one point in three
states did April bring as much as
three quarters of an inch of rain.
Late reports of showers in parts of
Kansas ana also OF OaSkdtcheWan,
however, had some effect as a coun-
ter balance.
Higher quotations at Liverpool,
smallness of Argentine shipments and
export buying of May and July de-
livery at Winnipeg had considerable
bullish influence. All rail eastward
shipments from Chicago were liberal,
and big shipments from Duluth by
lake were expected.
Favorable weather for corn plant
ing eased the corn and oats markets.
