BEDTIME STORIES By :: 1 FHFGHsS.

Peter AS soon as Peter saw him COM
ing he kicked up those long heels Of
his and away he went, lipperty-l ipperty-
lip, until he came to the entrance to
one of his private little paths. In he
popped
Flip poked his head in, found that he
couldn't get through the brambleS, then
raced around to the opening where he
could get in. Once more he crawled
through and was inside the dear Old
Briar-patch. Then Peter played the
same trick again. 1t was regular game
of in and out. It was q long time since
Peter had had 80 much fun.
Meanwhile little Mrs Peter had been
anxiouSly sitting under some branches
well hidden in the middle of the dear
Old Briar-Patch. She wasn't enjoying
this performance 1t all. She was pro-
voked with Peter.
IF only Peter had kept perfectly still
In the first place that dog never would
have discovered him and wouldn't have
tried to get in here" said she to her
self. MY goodness, do hope he will
not find mel Peter does the craziest
things. Sometimes I think he hasn't
a bit of sense. Oh dear! Here comes
that dog this way now!'
1t was true. Flip had suddenly de-
cided that while he was inside the dear
Ola ar-paJCn ne mlBnL rs well eH-
plore it. While he couldn't move about
freely there were some open places
where there were no brambleS. So it
was that presently he came up to the
little bramble tangle in which little
Mrs. Peter was hidden. He saw the lit
tie opening which led into 1t and peeped
in. Little Mrs. Peter was sitting per-
fectly still, so at first Flip didn't see
her. But just as he was about to turn
away he did see her.
Instantly he was all excitement. He
knew it wasn't Peter. for this Rabbit
was smaller. He began to try to force
his way in. He yelped as the brambles
scratched him, but he kept on trying
to force his way in. Little Mrs. Peter
could stand it no longer. She darted
out on the farther side. Instantly Flip
withdrew his head from under the
brambles and was after her. Little Mrs.
Peter heard Peter humping outside the
Old Briar-patch. She darted along one
of the little paths that led outside and
in a moment was out where Peter was
waiting for her.
"Oh!" she painted. This is dread
full"
mo, 1t isn't, my dear, it's fun" said
Peter.

around the edge of the Briar-patch
until he could again see Peter. Yes, 1t
was great fun for Peter.
At last Flip came to an opening that
was a little bigger than the others and
this time he managed to get through
the brambleS and really inside the Old
Briar-p patch. Peter promptly took to his
heels along the nearest little path that
led outside and a moment later was
out of the dear Old Briar-patch. while
Flip was in it. Peter scampered along
to the other end of the dear Old Briar-
patch and there sat down and waited.
Flip came out the same way he went
in and promptly raced around after

Peter Plays Inland Out.

Peter Rabbit was having a good time.
Yes. sir, he was having a good time.
He was teasing Flip the Terrier and he
was enjoying it. He was hopping around
inside the dear Old Briar-patch where
Flip could see him and Flip was doing
his best to get into the dear Old Briar-
patch but the brambles prevented him.
Every time he came to one of the OPEN
ingS to Peters private little paths, he
would try to force his way in. Peter
would wait until Flip had crawled in
part way and then Peter would hop off.
Flip would back out yelping from the
scratches he had received, and rush

CHINA YIELDS;
PEACE is NEAR
Agrees to Restore Railway
to Soviet Rule.

BIZ United Press
MOSCOW, Aug. 31-China has
met the demand of the Soviet union
for immediate restoration of the
Chinese Eastern railway to a status
quo ante as a preliminary condi-
ton for conference for a. peaceful
settlement of the Manchurian dis
pute, it was announced here today.
In keeping with China's concilia-
tory move, the Soviet government
will reappoint a Russian manager
for the disputed road and instruct
all Soviet employees who have ceased
work on the Chinese Eastern to re-
turn to their posts.
Thus an amicabIe settlement of
the dispute which for time threat
ened to infame the far east seemed
assured. Negotiations probably will
begin at an early date.
The new development was brought
about through the German govern
ment, which has been acting as
agent for both China and Russia
since they broke off diplomatic re-
lationships.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 30
A jealous suitor who at times ex-
perienced a religious fervor border
ing on fanaticism is sought here
for questioning into the double
murder of Miss Ruth Laughlin, a,
and her escort, Paul O'Dell, 10.
The bodies of the two were
found Friday off Cliff drive, winding
boulevard which skirts the north
east residential section overlooking
the Missouri river. O'Del had been
shot and Miss Laughlin had been
choked and beaten to death.
The suitor was known to Miss
LaughIin's family only as Fred"
The girl had told them he forced
his attention on her and she once
remarked that at times he appeared
to be a RELIGIOUS fanatic.
Police have advanced the theory
that he killed the two in a fit of
violent jealousy.
O'Dell, railway shop employe,
had known Miss Laughlin only a
few days. He had con1ded to a
friend that she would not kiss him,
because she had a steady boy
friend" He last was seen with her
few hours before the murders
were believed committed.
The two were driving toward the
pahgade, which is girdIed by Cliff
drive, and falls away from the
highway into ravine deeply grown
over with vegetation.
O'Dell's body was half way down
the ravine, bullet wound in the
back Of his head. Miss Laughlin
had been beaten to death, appar-
emily with the butt of a pistol.
Their automobile was not found.

British Rush Forces to Pro-
tect Settlements From
BedouinS.
BY JACOB SIMON
United Press STAFF Correspondent


JERUSALEM, Aug. 31.-Nomad
Bedouin tribes from Trans-Jordania
were concentrating on the banks of
the Jordan today, apparently for
an attack upon the Jewish settle
mentS situated on the Palestine
side of the river
The considerable British REIN
forcements which arrived from
Malta early today were expected to
be dispatched to this new danger
zone. Attacks or threats of attacks
already have been made by the
Arab forces, it was reported.
The towns principally endangered
were Mishmar, Hayarden and Men
ahamai, the latter town named after
the Hebrew name of Sir Herbert
Samuel, the first Jewish high COM
missioner of Palestine.
Arab Riot at Safed
Large detachments of British
troops, travelling in requisitioned
motor cars, were speeding toward
Safed today to quell the latest Arab
uprising In which ten Jews were
slain, many seriously injured and
much of the city burned to the
ground.
Samuel B. Cristein, American di-
rector of the orphanage of 5afed,
was among the seriously injured.
He was taken to hospital in a
critical condition.
The band of Bedouins swooped
down upon the ancient city of
northern Palestine ard began to
murder, pillage and burn. Further
attacks by the marauding band
was feared. The situation remained
serious today, at least until large
numbers of British troops arrived.
Jerusalem was quiet Friday, the
Moslem holy day. Thirteen Brit
ish airplanes circled the city and
then dipped over the Mosque of
Omar as warning against the re-
currence of last Fridays bloody in
cidents. The Arabs again were
searched and those found possess
ing arms we're court-martialed and
sentenced to prison.
164 Officially Dead
The latest official communique Is
sued today put the total number of
killed, since the beginning of the
riots, at 164. OF this number ninety
seven were Jews, sixty-three were
Moslems and four were Christians
One hundred and thirteen Moslems,
$50 Jews and nine Christians had
been wounded

happiness, FARRELL was indicted for
deSertion.
A warrant was sent here and
Thursday night Bliss Morton, de-
partment of justice agent, arrested
FARRELL.
With but SO in their common
treasury he could not provide the
$500 bond and was sent to the
county Jail, while Kern permitted
Mrs. Adams to live at her home
until the grand jury meets next
month.
The man broke into tears and

forted him.

real, honest love, even If it is sin, "

So he motored to Lakehurst
Friday, sat down on a soap box
and cogitated.
"It," he said with wave of his
hand toward the 778-foot
dirigibIe, 'is some big boat"
Clenching his teeth, Under
sheriff Holman approached naval
officials at the air station and
presented his attachment papers.
Then he was informed that the
air station and the hangar in
which the Graf Zeppelin was
housed were government property
and that the summons could not
be accepted. The undersheriff
sighed contentedly.
"At least" he said, "I don't
have to worry about carting the
ship away yet. / have been
undersheriff of Ocean county
since 1927 and this is the biggest
job I ever had on my hands. 1t
may be the biggest job any un-,
dersheriff ever had on his hands.
Even if the navy would turn
the Zeppelin over to me with the
understanding I would take it out
of the hangar, I would save to
tie it to one of these big pine
trees, I reckon"
Then Undersheriff Holman
employing that lightning like de-
duction that is characteristic OF
all great hounds of justice-de-
cided the Graf Zeppelin might
mount into the air and sail for
Europe without getting off federal
property.
THAT" he said frankly, might
stump me-"
Undersheriff Holman came
home to sleep on his problems,
and today, refreshed and re-
soucefuI, he set on the most
Gargantuan attachment assign
ment in the annals of the county
clerks office.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81.
Ignorant of the fact that
his mother had given her life
for him, and that his father,
too, had perished in the waves,
6-year-old Hollis Fifer thought
the sinking of the steamer San
Juan "lots of fun"
"Oh, grandma" the child
shouted to Mrs. A. Franks,
who met the rescue ship which
brought him from the scene of
the disaster, "the ship sunk. 1t
was lots of fun"
George Swan, chief steward
of the S. G. T. Dodd, said that
Mrs. Fifer ran to the rail of
the rammed San Juan before
it broke away from the Dodd
after the collision. He said she
screamed, For Gods sake
save my baby" and tossed the
child across the rail to sailors
on the Dodd. Before she could
leap across herself the San
Juan shifted and started on its
dive beneath the water.
