NEW YORK, December s. Sir
Thomas Upton yesterday received
Americas Cup-without any "the"
ahead of it--and for few seconds it
looked as If the excitement might be
TOO much for him.
As he was reading his speech of ac-
ceptance his voice faltered. With a
quivering hand he adjusted his eye
glasses and said huskily:
Unfortunately, can't see so well as
] used to-"
Then, swaying a little and cropping
for support, he whispered:
II can't 60 on"
They got him chair and glass Of
water, and Hector Fuller of the Mayors
Committee finished reading Lipton'S
speech.
A soloist began to sing '"The Star
Epangled Banner" and the old baronet
feeblv started to rise, but Mayor James
j. walker motioned him back into his
chair.

He sat there uneasily until the band
struck up God Save the King" Then,
pushing the mayor away, he raised
himself to his full height-head and
shoulders above those about him-and
stood through the anthem, proud SYM
Dol of the quality to which Americans
paid tribute.
The excitement and the heat in the
crowded aldermanic chamber, combined
with his feeble health, were thought to
have been responsible for Sir Thomas

hour in Mayor Walkers private otilce

"GoIly! There must be more than thousand

sorry the way those children make a slave OF

gnarled apple tree.

for people the less they appreciate it."
Il guess that's So" answered the old apple
tree sadly.
Now just look at your case Those children
have just about wrecked you. They pounded
nails into yon and made a sort of seat on that
long, straight branch of yours. They hung
chains from another branch and made swing
for you to hold up all Summer long They dug
around your roots burying things when q sey

your leaves to make crowns for their games"

Stella" but "Gulliver's Travels" is his most
famous. The great author was born in DuESln
of English parents in 1867 but his father died
a few months before the birth of the famous
writer and so Swift had a difficult time securing
education. He graduated, however from
Trinity College, Dublin, at the age of 21 and
then spent many years as private secretary to
Sir William Temple, at Moor Park, in Surrey
1t was here, in a beautiful building that Swift
spent some of the busiest and happiest wears of
his life. ,te -
spent as minister as dean of ST. Patricks
Cathedral in Dublin and in political fiskHN
which made him many enemies in iceland and
in England. His life was additionally sad be-
cause of a brain disease which made him insane
and incapable of writing. He died in l745.

"Old Man Rand's plumbing system was
rather interesting, after ALL" chuckled Skeetsr
they climbed the ladder. Then, after care
fully putting down the trapdOor that
body else could stumble on the treasure room,
they started back TO town.
WHEN the boys told Mr.. Smith, Skeeters
W father, of their discovery he at once got
in touch with MRS. Avery, the poverty-stricksn
granddaughter of Henry Rand. On the follow
ing day an official searching party. led by the
three boys, returned to the house, went down
into the cellar, and systematically dug up the
entire floor. AS result they found total of
almost $4,000, all in gold pieces buried in
sections of iron pipe by this strange old man
who had lived alone and trusted one. The
mystery of Henry Rand'S fortune was solved.
And before the searching party returned to
town, they sealed up the underground passage
so that it could never be used again. After
the boys related their experience, they decided
that the cave and passage were too dangerous
to be left open 1t was the opinion of the old
men in the town that the passage, like the cave
on the river bank, had been a part Of the
Underground Railway" Escaping slaves had
landed at the cave, gone through the passage
to the safety of the house, and hidden there
until they could proceed overland toward the
Canadian line and freedom. Old Mr.. Rand
had later blocked the passage at the cave end.
and used the secret cellar as a treasure
chamber
The three boys were happy in knowing their
discovery had relieved the poverty of Mrs.
Avery and received additional payment for
their action in the substantial reward that she
gave them. But long after the money was for
gotten they still remembered with a thrill
those dreadful minutes when they were i'm
prisoned in the cave, and their exciting adven-
lures in getting out of it.
