Girls Disappearance.
TExARKANA, Ark, August 8 lR.-
The search for Mildred Balche. Is, Texar-
kama girl who disappeared from her
home here last Thursday with her dog,
ended yesterday with the discovery she
was safe at the home of her own father,
B. B. Pomeroy, q farmer living near
Fort Worth, Tex.
Her mother, suffering from snake
bite she received while searching for
the girl, rushed to Fort Worth on re-
ceiving information she was there. The
disappearance and finding of the girl
resulted in her younger sister. Hazel,
10, learning for the first time that Joe
Baiche, business agent for Tom Mix. the
movie actor, was only her stepfather.
Balche with Mix IN Billings, Mont,
had interested the actor in the search
and Mix sent private detectives here to

fused to pay double indemnity. Suit
was brought against it, the beneficiaries
contending that Hammond's death was
from accidental causes.
The beneflciaries asserted that certain
persons against the will and over the
protest and contrary to the intentions"
Of Hammond had "forcibly placed him
in certain chair and by means of
straps and other devices kept him in a
sitting position in said chair" and
against his will, over his protest and
contrary to his intention a certain other
person caused a current of electricity
of sufficient intensity and strength to
cause death to be applied to and con-
tinue through the body of Harry H.
Hammond until he was dead"
"Not Accident"
The Seventh Circuit Court Of Appeals
sustained the Trial Court In refusing
double indemnity, holding that the
death at the hands OF the law of one
who has committed murder "is caused
by his own hand just as truly as it
would be had he placed gun to his
head and killed himself" Suicide, 1t
declared, is not an accident and neither
is death at the hands Of the law.
The insurance policies contained q
clause that double indemnity would not
apply If the insured's death resulted
from any violation of law by the in
sured. The lower Federal courts de-
clared that provision sufficient of it
self to prevent double indemnity under
Hammond's policies, but in answer the
beneficiaries asserted that, although he
was convicted and electrocuted, he wss
innocent OF the murder Of his wife.

she decided "I am Gives wife.
How can 1 even think of another
man?"
The simple code she had learned
since childhood strengthened her.
One was loyal in thought as well as
in deed.
Very well, she would be. There
were no half measures in the little
world in which she had grown up.
In spite Of these brave resolutions
sometimes her heart failed her.
Shall I remember him when I
am old?" she wondered, feeling her
heart beat faster when she saw his
name one day in a New York paper.
"Will it always be like this?
Against her will, she felt restless.
She and Give rode, swan, danced
together. Give was all that was
perfect. Kind, courteous and anus

Still they remained strangers. The
perfect golden days dawned and
waned. Stars rose over a summer
sea and moon like a Belasco back
drop appeared to mock her.
A year ago she had been mere
child, light-hearted, minimizing.
Now She was woman, yearning or
something-she scarcely knew what.

burden of her refrain.
Poor mother. I didn't know I

said one morning handing a note
across the table to Give.

His tone was odd. "You didn't?"

enough for two, he decided. What
a possessed little thing she was.
She pretended to be asleep when
he came in. She snuggled down be-

Through her lashes she could see
him, stepping softly so as not to
waken her. All, she did like his
looks. She wondered why she had
never appreciated them before.

NEW CHAMP

PHILADELPHIA. July 16.-Kid
Chocolate, of Cuba. is today jun
ior lightweight champion of the
world.
BY virtue of a seven-round tech
nical knockout victory over Benny
Bass, of Philadelphia, here last
night, the Cuban bonbon won he
130-pound title, which is recog-
nized all over but in New York
State.
The Kid came close to win
ming the crown by clean
knockout in the second round
when he got in a hard right
to the jaw which staggered
Bass. Benny managed to snap,
out of it and finished the
round on his feet.
However, Bass did put on a
great comeback in the early
stages of the third and fourth
sessions, but was much too wild
in his swings. In the fifth Ben
ny's left eye started to bleed.
and it gave him more trouble IN
the following session.
1t was the first time Bass was
ever stopped during his long ca
reer. He entered the ring weigh
ing 1882 pounds, while the new
champion was three pounds
lighter.

BIG FACTOR
IN T|LTS
BY GNO SINH

As the Leech Cup tennis
series between the leading net
stars of the Army and Navy ap-
proaches, the event gains in i'm
pOrtance and interest. It will
take place at the Chevy Chase
courts Saturday.
An Army victory appears more
and more probable, though Army
net followers are inclined to with
hold predictions, recalling rue
fully the Navy's 6-to-1 victories
registered last year and the year
previous.
Ranked Nationally
The secret of the Army's high
hopes lie in the presence of Dolf
Muehlesien, the California col
aegiate ace, and an enlisted man.
MuehIeiSen is ranked twenty
seventh nationally, having won
the intercollegiate doubles cham
pionships with Robert Meunch
last year, and having reached
the SemifinalS in the singles,
where he lost to Julius SeligSOn

with Muehleisen at No. l.,
Major j. H. Hills can strengthen
the remaining singles positions
with such fine players as Lieu
tenant Robinson at No. 2, Lieut..
Dave Hedekin, twice runner-up
for the Army title. at No. 3 and
Major Robert C. Van Vliet, twice
Army and twice District of Co
aulnbia champion, at No. 4.
Strengthen Doubles
The strengthening effect will
be evident in the doubles. where
Muehleisen and Robinson teamed,
stand far above the best COM
hination the Navy can muster.
Lieutenant Hedekin and Ma
for Van Vliet are likely to
take up the cudgels against
the Nays No. doubles. with
Major ]. H. Hills and Major
Leland S. Hobbs. runners-up
for the doubles title this year,
likely at No. 3.
Major p. w. Newgarden and
Lieut.. p. K. Morrill,, who lost
to Robinson and Stone, ultimate
winners, in the Army's doubles
eemifinals, might get the call.
Lieut.. Richard M. Watt is a
fixture at No. l for the Navy,
with either Jr. Lieut.. Bill McCue
or Ensign Jimmy Farrin at No.
3, the discarded one taking No.
3. and Ensign Bill Howard at
No. 4. Watt and McCue look
like the top flight doubles.
The Navy has scored impres-
slvely in recent practice matches,
having turned back Baltimore
Country Club. 10 matches to 0,
and taken Mt. Washington over
the hurdles, 8 matches to l. In
seven years of Leech Cup play the
Navy won the last five years,

years.
