DADDY gave me pony for my
birthday last year. Jimmy was
coal black with a blazed white face
and just years old Daddy said I
must catch and saddle him if he was
to be mine. learned how, and at first
it was quite easily done, as he was
usually in the barn lot. Then one day
when 1 wanted to ride learned there
was something wrong with my pony.
He just couldn't be caught if he was
In pasture and hadn't a halter on.
Jimmy was off by himself in a far
corner of the pasture and the mules
and COWS were grazing near him. I
walked along the side of the fence, for
I've always been afraid of some of our
mules. was only about 10 feet from
Jimmy when he kicked up his heels
and cantered halfway across the
meadow. In doing this he disturbed
the mules from their eating and they
punched together.
Next time / got to within only 20
feet of him before he shied away from
the milling bunch of mules and logged
toward the barn. Then turning
abruptly he wheeled to the right and
dashed directly for those punched
mules, which were heading rapidly in
my direction. And there stood, hands
on hips, bride trailing on the ground,
watching Jimmy SO interestedly had
no eyes for a more interesting spec
tacle much nearer, and much more
dangerous.
Suddenly I heard some one yelling.
Did he mean me? Rum" he yelled.
'Run to the fence! Run for your
lifel"
WE'LL ran. I didn't know why,
but finally I did, after standing there
like a dumb bunny for so long. And
just as I scrambled down the other
side of the fence the foremost mule
those behind charged after him. I
rather think my face was pretty white,
for it was close call.
And then I saw Jimmy dancing
away across the meadow for all the
world as if he was laughing at me.
Daddy sent the Negroes after him.
It took 10 of them to hem him into a
corner, and then he broke right
through a line of them three deep.
Jimmy wasn't caught until feeding
time, and now he wears halter and a
long chain all the time so can catch
him easily.

HERE is a very conveniently ar
ranged doll house, specially de-
signed for the girl readers of this
page. Get your father or older brother
to build it for you. Or, if you are a
boy. build it as a Christmas present
for your sister.
The sides of the house are cut away
IN step-like formation. This is to give
easy access to the rooms of the lower
floor. Then by not having a front wall,
the second floor rooms and even the
attic may be easily reached when
arranging the furniture.
The construction of the house is
very easy. Mount the two side walls
to Dashboard, about IL inches by
18 inches. The second floor board
slips in notches cut on the inside of
the walls. exactly even with the top
of the first floor wall. The attic floor
is nailed to the top of the side walls.
The roof boards are nailed in a slant
ing position to the attic floor. A large

them" said Bill. "Of course, there
may be somebody here, but doubt it"
THEY walked across the terrace to
the massive door. There was no
roof over the terrace, but the side of
the house afforded some shelter from
the wet, driving snow and singing
drops of rain. Gently the two boys
lowered Dorothy. and she was able
to stand with the help of Bill and
Beth. Johnny seized a huge knocker
on the door and banged it loudly.
The clatter seemed to echo through
the house, but not sound was heard
in answer to the summons. Again
Johnny raised the knocker and
brought it down, while they huddled
in an uneasy group on the terrace.
Finally Johnny tried the door.
Locked, of course" he said. well,
what's the next move?"
you and Beth stay here with Dor
othy, Johnny" said Bill. I'll take
the light and try to find window
that will let me in. Then I can come
through and open the door, He
grinned IF anybody is going to be
arrested for housebreaking, it might
as well be MEL
"Okay," said Johnny. YOU'D look
handsome behind jail bars, anyway"
PILL took the light from Beth. She
looked at him anXiously as he
said. And don't be gone too long.
It's not going to be any fun waiting
here N the dark"
Bill walked quickly along the ter
race, thinking that it wasn't going to
be any fun breaking in a window
either. Suppose somebody was in the
house, after all, and took him for a
burglar? He might get warm recep-
tion-possibly bullet.
He quickly tried the first window
he reached on the terrace. 1t was
tightly locked. Probably every win
dow on the ground floor would be.
His best bet would be a second-hoor
window, if he could climb to one, or
perhaps one that led to the cellar.
He quickly circled the house. trying
every window He did find one that
led to the cellar, but it was as tightly
locked as the rest. He was almost
ready to consider climbing to a Sec
ond-f1oor window, when he found an
other that led to the cellar. Kneeling
down, he showed on it firmly. 1t stuck
for moment, then swung slowly in
ward.
."HOORAY!" cried Bill in a low
voice He dropped to a sitting
position, showed his feet through the
narrow opening and then flashed his
light into the basement. He saw a
smooth floor below him. Pocketing
the light, he turned around. grasped
the sill, and lowered himself. carefully
to the floor.
Immediately he pulled the f1ashlight

out and swung 1t around the room. He
saw a furnace, a door leading to an
other part Of the basement and flight
of stairs leading upward. Quickly he
started toward the stairs, but as he
passed the furnace he swung about
with a gasp Of surprise and jerked
open the door.
The fire was not out, as he had ex-
pected. Instead it was banked heavily
with coal-to keep it alive until morn
ing or until somebody who had left
this mysterious house returned.

RETH was back in moment with
the light. She quickly caught up
with her brother and Johnny, and
thereafter led the way. Dorothy braced
her arms around their shoulders, let
her aching head droop forward. and
tried not to mind the jolting.
There must be drive leading up
to the house ahead there" said Bill.
''Look--you can see the place looming
up. even through this snow and rain.
A huge place, isn't it?"
Funny sort of house to find out
here" commented Johnny, breathing
hard with the effort of carrying Dor
othy. Probably somebody's lodge.
There's good hunting and fishing in
these hills"
There's the drive!" cried Beth,
flashing her light ahead They saw a
narrow road of crushed limestone
which angled steeply up the hill. But
it was fairly smooth, and they climbed
it rapidly.
"The house certainly is dark" said
Beth, her voice hushed. Not light
anywhere. What will we do if there's
nobody there?"
Break in some way!" said Bill
gri;nly. II suppose we'll be guilty of
technical housebreaking. but this is
an emergency and nobody would blame
us"

FOR the first time since they had
left the car, Dorothy spoke I'm
certainly nuisance" she said, trying
to laugh. "Of course. I would have to
get hurt, when nobody else did! II
guess members of our family are just
unlucky'
Nobody answered for a minute. They
were all thinking of Dorothy's brother,
who had been the only victim of a
pay roll robbery in which bandits en-
tered the Office where he was assist
ant paymaster, escaped with s62,0
and left him behind fatally wounded.
You're no nuisance at ALL" Bill
assured her heartily. I'm Just
blaming myself for smashing the car
up and hurting you.''
Beth flashed the light up on the
house, which was now just ahead of
them, and they all paused with gasps
of surprise. They had half expected
to find an old, ramshackle farm house,
but instead they found an impressive
building of stone and timber set in a
broad lawn that extended to the sur
rounding woods. There was terrace
on the side facing the road and
around one end.
What place!" cried Johnny.
Somebody with money certainly owns
this"

Mussolini Fails To See British

Britain. Britain sees no reason at

First, Cessation of Italian Press

Britain, France
Agree On Peace
By League Only

GENEVA, Nov. 1.-(UP).-
France and Great Britain will pro-
claim to the world tomorrow that
any settlement of the Italo-Ethi-
opian war must be within the
League of Nations framework,
not by negotiation among the
great powers, it was understood
today.
The declarations are expected
to coincide with announcement of
the date for imposing an economic
boycott on Italy and defining its
selected key products.
News of the intended French
British declaration came as league
leaders despaired of an early APP
proach to peace negotiations and
set themselves firmly toward pen
alizing Italy swiftly and drastical-
ly.
They mean to force Premier
Benito Mussolini to make what
they call just terms of peace.
Sir Samuel Hoare, British for
eign secretary; Anthony Eden,
British minister for league affairs,
and Premier Pierre Laval of
France conferred today as COM
mittees studied the final prelimi-
nary steps toward effecting the
economic boycott.

KING DEFENDS
AFRICAN WAR
Speaks Today to Assert
Justice and Necessity

ROME, Nov. 1.-tuP)-King
Victor Emmanuel broke a long
silence today to assert the justice
and necessity of Italy's war on
Ethiopia. Thus he refuted reports
that he disagreed with Premier
Benito Mussolini on war policy.
In a speech at the new Univer-
sity of Rome, where he received
an honorary doctorate of litera-
ture, the king said:
at is not without significance
that this fortress of thought opens
it's halls for noble and severe
studies while my country is en-
gagged in an action which the SUI
preme exigencies of it's life, Sc
curity and it's future impose upon
it.
"In each hour of it's glorious
history Rome has carried out the
mission of civilization. Today
Italy continues on the same road,
more united than ever in the SUI
perb force of it's faith and will.
"Italy asks only to live its life
fully, to work and devote its en-
ergies to those ideals which con-
stitute it's sacred inheritance.
81 hope that the illustrious rep
resentatives of international
thought and science gathered here
will inform their countrymen that
the Roman city of studies has
been opened with this hope"
The king wore the gray service
uniform of a field marshal with
fore-and-aft hat like that of an
admiral. He received his diploma,
however, in academic robes. 1t
was presented by Rector Pietri de
Francisco.
AS the king spoke, boisterous
students, renewing anti-British
demonstrations, were pasting
large posters "buy Italian prod
ucts-be proud of them" on the
fronts of foreign shops specialize
ing in imported goods. Other pos
tiers depicted bust of a black
shirt worker.

en-day siege preceding a supreme
court test of its right to exist.
The six managers" of the de-
partment, installed by Gov. DIN
d. Johnston in a bold military
stroke, were protected by armed
state troopers to prevent service
of additional court documents.
Thirteen of IA ousted highway
commissioners, however, were sue
cessful in obtaining service of a
court order barring payment of
highway funds. The move forced
the controversy into the supreme
court for hearing Nov. II on con-
stitutional validity of Johnston'S
coup.
While his followers held the
state office building under a mar
tial law proclamation, Johnston
hurried to Washington to consoli-
date the lines by which federal
highway funds are flowing into
the state.
After a conference with Thos.
H. Mcdonald, chief of the federal
bureau of public roads, the gov
ernor announced that all road
projects now under development
in the state would be continued.
He estimated thew involved an ag-
gregate of $1,000,000.
The governor, while receiving
no promises on future funds, said
he was "sure everything will be
taken care of when the situation
arises"
Johnston definitely had failed
in his attempt to cut license fees

convriobt 1885 by United Press

LONDON, Nov. l. (UP).--fre-
mier Benito Mussolini has inform
ed Great Britain he is unable to
repard maintenance of the British
Mediterranean fleet at present
strength as a defensive action, the
United Press was informed last
night. .,,: o;o of
Wednesdays interview between
II Duce and British Ambassador
Sir Eric Drummond at Rome dis
closed that Mussolini is seriously
concerned by British refusal to
reciprocate his withdrawal OF
troops from Libya by reducing the
Mediterranean fleet.
Mussolini was understood not
to have said he regards the pres
emf British naval strength as az
eresiye. However, he told Sir
Eric that Italians regard the DE.
cesion to keep it at present
strength as ''inexplicable" and
"definitelv anti-Italian." -.
The British envoy explained the
fleet was strengthened because OF
italian press attacks against Great
