He iS variously reported oCCu- | pyIng q town house in London and q villa on Lake Como. One thing is sure, his theatrical officers are closed and his name in gilt scratch l cG from the door.
 ! Harris became an overnight fig uro in that odd microscomic pheno- i meuon We c,ll the Rialto less than 1 two wears ago. At one time he had seven shows runniug-three on Broadway and four on tour-and his income was $40.u0O week. Just as suddenly he tired and sailed away.
 He was born on tho Newark out skirts. inc son of q large Jewish family He is thin, pale and as brit tie as spun glass but has the burl- ing black eyes and flaming cnthusi- asm of the zealot. He weighs only 120 pounds. Among his cccentrici- ties was to go for weeks without ' shaving.

 Jed Harris 5ristled with that elcc- i tric quality that expresses itself in quick changes of mind. In younger days he went 10 Yale for a term and one day in the middle of class suddenly walked out. A day later. 1 although he flinchcs at every dip of l the ship and gags at each new smell 1 he was stocking coal on a Cattlcboat bound for Liverpool.
 Another odd genius of the Jewish faith was Louis Marshall, the great | lawyer and philanthropist, who died in Switzerland a month or so ago He was rich, but always rode on street cars.

the watch tower of Hooty the Owl. He
could see Hooty sitting very straight
on the top Of it. He looked almost like
part of the tree. He hooted, and
Reddy grinned as he watched him lean
| forward a wee bit that he might listen
better
"Is it good hunting?" barked Reddy.
Hooty looked down and in those great
eyes of his were disappointment and
anger. He snapped his bill as only
Hooty can snap bill. What are you
doing over here around my hunting
ground?" he demanded. How can
there be good hunting with so many
"Oh. am not going to hunt here"
replied Reddy mildly. II am just pass
ing along through. There is no harm
in that, is there? BY the way, Mrs.
Reddy and had good hunting the
other night. We had the best hunting
we've had this Winter. We had feast
and it makes my mouth water just to
think Of it,"
Hooty was all attention. He turned
as If to see whether Reddy meant what
he had said or was fooling. What was
tina feast?" he asked.
Turkey" replied Reddy. Turkey.
Did you ever eat Turkey?" :
"Once, just once" replied Hooty.
"You certainly did have good hunting.
Were there any more turkeys there?"
"A lot of them," replied Reddy. "But
We were lucky to get that one. If only
I could climb tree could get an
other"
A sudden gleam came into the eyes
| of Hooty the Owl. What has climbing
tree got to do with it?" he asked.
"Oh," replied Reddy, these turkeys
all sleep in a tree. Mrs. Reddy and I
were lucky enough to catch one before
it had flown up in the tree for the
night. But fear we shall not have
another chance like that"
''Where did you say these turkeys
are?" inquired Hooty, leaning forward
eagerly.
IT didn't say" replied Reddy. Turkey
certainly is fine eating. Yes, sir; 1t GER

TOday's True
Story

HyHEkE was a certain in
dependence about Clara
Howe that Tom Ding
ley liked. She wasn't afraid
to speak her mind. And she
WASH t afraid to insist on
paying her half when he
asked her to dinner. That
was a recommendation with
Tom because he had barely
enough to last from one day
to another.
If he had told her once
that he wished she d marry
him he d told her a hundred
times but she always
laughed.
Il wonder what we'd live
on" she asked.
"Oh, we'd-get along, = he
would answer, "the Gods
will provide. /"
Clara, in spite of her pre-
tended indifference, was
conscious Of Toms appeal.
When she was with him
nothing else seemed to mat
ter. They both had apart
ments on the top floor Of a
so-called studio building.
Hers was homehke; his was
sparsely furnished.
I'm a bum artist, " he
announced cheerfnlly, "but
wait till we re married, then
see what I'll do"
Clara had her doubts. She
didn't believe a girl could
reform q man by becoming
his wife; neither did she be-
lieve q man could become a
great artist simply by mar
rying.
But in the soft summer
light, with the noises of the
city drifting in like an ac-
compartment to- . mighty
slumber song, anythin g.
seemed possible. With Toms
arms about her and Tom s
lips on hers, all the doubts
that beset her by day van
ished.
So when Tom said, BE a
sport, Clara, " take a chance
its the bunk this having
to be rich to be married.
Say you II marry me.
Under the spell Of his per-
suasions she looked up and
said. 'sAll right I'll take a
chance.
That had been last night
she was engaged to Tom;
she had promised to marry
him. How different il all
seemed today when she ap-
piled the acid test of cold
reason to it.
