Princess Olina Again Steps Into the

As I stepped from the ha0 10 the front veranda where my callers had chosen to sit, all three of them sprang to their feet, put Princess Clina whom almost everybody sup posed to be simply Miss Eleanor Lincoln of The Larches. flashed past MT Neritzen and his son, Noel, and kissed me with a lack of royal dig nifty which l am afraid would have appalled, the beautiful Queen Olga of Transvania if she could have seen her fugitive daughters impetuosity.
 But the beautiful runaway prin- cess has clung to me-almost liter ally-ever since the time, when frightened and ill deadly peril of Serglus, the arch plotter against royal lives. she confidod to me the fantastic, almost unbelievable tale of her escape from the Transvan- ian royal entourage. Every time I looked at her, l realized the unusual courage and resourcetulnesS with which this slip of a girl had eluded the search constantly made for her by the royal family of Transvania.
 Never had it been admitted in Transvania that the favorte prin- cess of the populace had not return ed upon the ship which carried her royal family from America after their spectacular tour of the coun- try. A swathed figure-that of Olina's ,naid-had been carried on board ship and later been trans ferred to a secluded country castle ever since the object of solicitude upon the part of the TransvanianS because it was supposed that Ollna lay ill there.
 But the resourceful princess had changed to frightened child when she realized that a woman at court had used her to send a cipher mes sage to Sergius, which if it had reached him would have resulted in horror beyond description, including the assassination of her own father and mother.
 What must I do?" she had asked me pitifully the morning after the capture of Sergius. 'I will do any thing you say even if it is to go back to marry King Albert"

 Peter Rabbit
New Britain herald., 1928-06-28

Peter Rabbit was looking at his latest family with pride. To be sure. they were not very much to look at as yet. They were very small and rather helpless little bunnies, whose eyes had opened for the first time that very day. Naturally. those great eyes were filled with great won der Now, Peter, had had this ex- peyience of looking at new family for the first time on a number Of occasions. But each lot of babies seemed to him. and to Mrs. Peter. just as wonderful as the previous lot.
 Aren't they darlings"" demanded Little Mrs. Peter.
 "They certainly are,' replied Pet CT. "I believe they are the finest lot of babies We have ever had. Yes, sir, I believe they arc. You said, my dear, that there are five. One-fwo --three-four--w here is the fifth One?"
 Just then there was a general sQuirming of the babies. Like most other babies. baby rabbits do a lot of squirming. Out of the middle of that squirming mass popped another little head. Peter gasped. His lower jaw dropped and there he sat. star ing with all his might, with his mouth wide open. ''Wha wi ha- wha What?" he stuttered. and stopped.
 If Little Mrs. Peter could have laughed aloud she would have. sec ing the look on Petsr's face. There was surpris. and wonder and unbe- lief all mixed together. You sec, that little head that had popped up was wholly white. All the other lit- tie heads were grayish brown, but that little head was white. just as white as the snow.
 'It-it-it can't be ours" stam- mered Peter.
 Tt certainly doesn't belong 10 any one else," declared Little Mrs, Pc ter.
 '1s it white all oyer?" Peter in- quired.
 Mrs. Peter reached over and pull ed the little felo" out from among his brothers and sisters. He was W hlle ali over anu HIS fE'H Nfl' pink. When Peter discovered this, he quite lost the power Of speech. He just stared and stared and stared. When al last he did find his tongue, he could only stutter.
 "Do-do-do you see those eyes"" stuttered Peter.
 Little Mrs. Peter nodded. "Of
 4b.tf,' Nbgt ahnDf them 2" said she.
 "Th th-they aren't like vours.' continued Peter.
 No" said Little Mrs. Peter. they are not like mine"
 And th-th-they aren't like mine" declared Peter.
 No" said Little Mrs. Peter. they aren't like yours.'
 Then what makes you think he belongs 10 us' demanded Peter.
 T don't think anything about it." replied Little Mrs Peer. "I know. I'm his mother.
 Peter had no answer for that SO he simply sat and stared at the lit- tie white baby. Finally little Mrs. Peter ventured 10 ask. Don't you think he is pretty. Peter"'
 Yes" said Peter slowly. but I'm sorry for him. ] certainly am sorry for that little rascal.'
 Why" demanded Little Mrs. Fe- ter anxiously.
 Because" replied Peter. ''he is roing to be marked rabbit. Have you forgotten the white baby John nv Chuck had and what hard time 1e had of 1t? Why. Reddy Fox will x able to see that little fellow. even )n . dark night"

Subjects Are Objecting to Westernization Reforms
 Fighting Reported

NEW DELHI, india, Dec. IT, Reports from the frontier state King Amanullah, of Afghanistan, and Queen Souria, have taken refuge in a fort. the army having turned against them.
 While reports of disturbances in remoter sections of Afghanis- tan are reported, today's advices are the first indicating dissatis- faction has spread to Kabul, the capital city, with population of about 100000.

These reforms resulted in several movements against the King.
 Considerable anxiety is felt re- garding Kabul and the safety of foreign representative in the capital.
