While there is a disposition 10

fully as many complaints that
the intense heat has discouraged

the corn crop in most areas, with
lesser complaints of injury 10

potatoes, and Western tobacco.
Against these reports, however
it was to be noted that while
corn prices have reached and

while some lines slipped further
others, as for instance, some
branches of the steel trade and
automobile manufacturing showed
more residence, shoe manufac

lines to rob the reports, as
whole, of some Of their depreSs

answered determinedly. Smoke
I should think there was! Can't
you smell it?'
They we're hemmed in now by
motor cars, trucks and other We

drivers complaining loudly. The
coupe could barely move.
Lisi ducked her head forward.
Look at st." she cried. did you
ever see anything like it?"
They we're still some distance
from the burning building. High
overhead the thick black smoke
cufled upward. Now and then it
colored with dingy ruddiness,
frightened and then grew dark. The
air was heavy with the odor of
smoke.
On the sidewalks men and women
were running. The din was terrific.
Celia had begun to weep mys-
teriously.
Lets get out and walk" she
begged. We'll never get there any
other way. Oh, Barney, how will I
ever find him? How am I to know
if he's safe?"
Lisi tried to move the car for
ward. The effort was useless.
Fires still burning, she said
"You can tell from the sky. Lord
what blaze that must have beenl"
Mrs. Parsons interrupted shrilly:
"This is dangerousl We've got to

The girl looked at her and
shrugged one shoulder. How're you
going to leave?" she asked. Look
behind you'll"
Evelyn turned. As far as she
could see the street was filled with
other vehicles. Motor cars of ali
kinds and sizes. Messenger boys
on bicycles. Delivery trucks. She
gasped and sank back against the
seat.
Celia had begun TO tumble with
the fastener on the door.
What are you doing?" Lisi de-
manded.
I'm going to get out" Celia said.
Il can't stand it. I've got to know
if Barney's safe"

THERE was a brief argument. 1t

climbing out of the car and leaving
Mrs. Parsons at the wheel.
They made their way to- the side
walk. They were strange sight,
with heads bare and wearing their
long, light-colored evening frocks.
Men, women, and children were
crowding, pushing, trying to get
nearer to the burning building.
1t was difficult to breathe the
smoky air.
Lisi had caught hold of Celia's
arm so they would not become. sep

with the others.
At last they edged through the
crowd and came up against rope.

shouted. "Here-get back there!"

With parted lips, with palms tight pressed
against her heaving bosom, the young woman
leaned forward large-eyed, enthralled by the
vision of her dead mate. She saw the sinewy
form leap to the back of the lion, hurting
against the leaping lion Like huge, animate
battering ram. She saw the carnivore brushed
aside as he was almost upon her and in that
instant she realized that no wrath could thus
turn the charge of maddened lion with brute

building from which the murky
clouds we're rolling. A shrill siren
whistle rent the air and two scar

understanding their significance,
gave a low scream.

The officers answer was a harsh
negative.
"Ch, but please" Celia begged.

for you"
See here!" Lisi cut in sharply

I'm not here to answer ques-
tons. I'm here to see nobody gets
past this line" The policeman was
becoming annoyed.
Celia could not keep the tears
back. The officer took note of this.
They're taken the injured over
to -- hospital" he said more
kindly. Why don't you go over
there?"
Lisi asked how to reach the hos
pital and the policeman told her.
After his sudden change of heart
he became quite affable/ AS the
girls turned to go he waved toward
the crowd and shouted:

The human wall parted almost
magically and Celia and Lisi hur-
ried back the way they had come.
They heard another shrieking siren
after they had gone a little dis

eyes to LiSi.

how their frocks had been twisted

place where walking was compare

 Edward Nell, Jr., who plays the dashing Captain Richard, is con sidered by producers as great find as the operetta. He was born in Indianapolis, graduated from Purdue University, and came East to sing at Holy Trinity Church. His singing of the song Cigar ette" has received so much com ment, that both he and the song have become Broadway's favorites. The melody of Cigarette" carries with it the pageantry of European Court life before 1914, and gives the younger generation a picture of a magnifcence that is cone forever.
