In consequence, there was
some revival of gayety at

Miss Shackleford's father re-

the betrothal.
So Jeb Stuart, as usual, had
his fill of dancing, singing and
story telling with the young

mistic concerning Antonia
Ford, against whom, so far,
nothing serious had been
proven by the Federal au-

AgOniZed Listening
It was not yet daylight on
Sunday morning when Oper-
ator 13, fully dressed, pulled
a chair to her open bedroom
window and listened intently
for what she knew was COM
ing.
After a long time a bird awoke
and sang a fitful note or two.
Star after star faded in the gray
chill. Suddenly dawn revealed
the foggy woods and fields.
From very far away, softened
by fog. came a gunshot. And, as
though she had been struck by
the same bullet, Operator 13
sprang to her feet.
The deadened banging of car
bines filled her ears like rolling
Of muffled 'drumS-lost now in
the thunderouS racket of horse
men passing the house on a
frantic gallop. A changing alarm
Of bugleS broke out; more horse
men galloping and shouting;
lights Sparkled in the village.

BY JOHN sNURE, Jr.

George Neville, genial Secre-
tary to Senator Hubert Ste
phens, returns from Mississippi,
and in his cordial spirit tells
q fish story that should make
Izaak Walton jealous, If that
were possible.
George, Of necessity, began
to fish in a nearby river
shortly after he arrived home,
and continued that activity
every afternoon, although his
greatest catch was one small
finny about four inches long.
One day the river overflowed
and then receded, whereupon
George went fishing again and
on his journey found a small
pool, landlocked as the river
receded.
It was about SO square feet
in area and about one foot
deep.
George, who had on boots,
waded into the water, and with
his boots kicked out 80 fish
that had been left in the pool.

ViVorS' Stories of
Disaster.
Continued From Page One)

New York dignitaries gathered fol
a solemn high mass of requiem fol-
the lost.
The heavy cruiser Portland, ir
charge OF the search, advised today
that ships under its command hac
picked up four pieces of wreckage
from the Akron.
The Wreckage included an empty
gas tank. a spare radio transmit
ting power tube, life raft from The
AkrOn's airplane compartment anc
bits of wood.
The navy department at Wash
ington was advised today that air
plane pilots have sighted wreck
age covering a considerable area
about three miles abreast of Barne-
gat Beach"
Naval officials insisted there still
remained a possibility that some
survivors might be found on float
ing wreckage far from the place
off Barnegat light, New Jersey
where the Akron went down early
Tuesday in a lightning storm. But
none pretended to any confidence
that more would be found alive.
Cardinal to Preside at Mass
The mass of requiem was ar
ranged at st. Patrick's cathedral
with Cardinal Hayes presiding i'll
his capacity as chaplain bishop of
the United States army and navy
Though primarily for relatives
and friends of the seventy-One
missing men, and for the two whose
bodies were found, the ceremonies
were open to the public.
The Rev. F. T Russell, president
of st. Johns seminary in Brooklyn
whose brother, William, chief ma
chinist's mate of the Akron. is
among the missing, was called upon
to serve as celebrant at the mass.
Other officiating clergymen were all
naval chaplains.
Army and naval and marine de-
tachments from the New York navy
yard and Governors Island at
tended.
Admiral w. w. Phelps, COM
mandant at the navy yard, and his
staff were among those who met
to mourn the lost in the worst of
air disasters.
At Lakehurst, services were held
Wednesday for Lieutenant Com
mander David E. Cummins, who
died when the blimp J-3 crashed
on a rescue mission. He was to be
buried in Arlington national GENE
terry, Washington, today.
Still Search for Bodies
The first investigation into the
disaster to get under way appeared
likely to be the inquest into the
death of Robert w. Copeland, chief
radio operator of the Akron, who
died aboard the German tanker
Phoebus after he and three COM
panions had been rescued.
Rear Admiral Phelps appointed
Lieutenant Commander j. H. HofT-
man head of a court of inquest tC
make a formal report upon the
death of Copeland, whose body was
at the Brooklyn navy hospital
morgue.
The destroyer Cole returned to
New York late wednesday from the
scene of search of Jersey, but eX-
pected to put out again today.
1t reported that wreckage it had
found had been delivered to the
cruiser Portland, in charge of rescue
operations
An officer of the Cole predicted
that with warmer weather, bodies
of Akron victims soon would come
to the surface. Only one body, aside
from Copeland's had been recovered.

All Pile Agony Ended without Cut

If you think a surgical operation is
the only way to get rid of Piles, it's
because you haven't heard of the harm

prominent western physician.
After years of study, DR.. ]. s. Leon
hardt found the cause OF Piles to be
internal-congestio of blood in the
lower bowel-the hemorrhOidal veins
flabby the bowel walls weak; the parts
almost dead. Right away the doctor
set to work 20 find a real internal rem
edy. He succeeded. and after preScrib-
ing it for 1000 patients. with success
in over 800 eases. he named his pre-
scriptiOn HEM ROID.
The doctor wants every Pile sufferer
to benefit by his discovery, and so
there will be no doubling or delay
Hooks Dependable Drug Stores and
druggists everywhere are authorized TO
sell HEM ROID with guarantee of
money back if it does not end Piles in
any form.
So why waste time on external treat
ments or think of an operation when
