One day. on a Paris street, he ran across
Mary Goodwin Shelley. He had heard some
time before that she was widow; Shelley, her
poet husband, had been drowned. Payne was
overjoyed to see her again. filled with wonder
and regret, but shy in the presence of her
sorrow. During her three-day stay in Paris
he and his friend Washington Irving saw
great deal of her.
One day she said to him: you're an actor.
You know how to make up. Why not come to
England in disguise?"
He was quick to follow her suggestion
Accompanied by mustache, a limp, and the

to London. He was blissfully happy to be near
her, yet wretched to realize that he could offer
her nothing, certainly not security. He had
proof of this one day when he returned to his
lodgings and found bailiff before his door
In a flash Payne was off on the run, the bailif
in pursuit.

UNCLE WIGGuY'S COLORED
CHALK

One day when Uncle Wiggily paid
visit to the Hollow Tree School
| the Lady Mouse Teacher, as a spe-
cial favor to the animal boys and
girls who had been very good al
lowed them to draw pictures on the
blackboard.
And to honoi our guest, Uncle
Wiggily," said Miss Mouse, who had
a very jolly, little squeaking voice,
Il shall let you draw your pictures
with colored chalk.
This made Baby Bunty, the or
phan rabbit, very happy. She was
a cute little rabbit and she loved
to draw on the blackboard with
colored chalk So did Jingle, jan
gle, Duster and all the others.
Because the colored chalk cost
more than the white sticks of cray
on, Miss Mouse did not often let
her pupils use it.
But this is a special occasion, y
said Miss Mouse smiling at Uncle
Wiggily who lWinkled his pink nose
at the teacher. They were the best
! OF IrlenQS.
Varied COlOrs
Miss Mouse passed the sticks of
colored chalk among the children,
giving to S1me red, to others blue,
! to others yellow. and Baby Bunty
got piece OF green chalk.
III make the grass in the pic
lures, said tho orphan rabbit, FOR
/ grass is green
yes, Baby Bunty," said Miss
! Mouse.
Uncle Wiggily watched the ami
nal boys and girls make pictures
with colored chalk. They took
great delight in this. for it was
more than reciting lessons about
! two and Two are four and reading
from books. Drawing pictures was
such fun that the pupils were sorry
when school was out and they had
| 10 go home.
Please, Miss Mouse" asked Baby

with green chalk. when may we
use the colored chalk again?'
"Oh, next week" said Miss Mouse
as she locked the school door.
Uncle Wiggily walked part of the
way home with Miss Mouse and
then, telling her goodbye ana
thanking her for having let the
animal children make such pretty
pictures, Mr. Longears hoped TO
his bungalow. Out in front where
there were some broad. smooth
sidewalk stones. Uncle Wiggily saw
Baby Bunty and some other rabbit
girls and boys.
"Oh, here's Unkie Wig now" eX-

toward him viii you please give
us some money to buy them?" she
asked.
Buy what?" asked Mr.. Longears.

My goodness" laughed Uncle
Wiggily. 1T would make me poor
to give all you rabbits money TO
buy colored crayons. But III show
you how TO get them without
money"
"How?" asked all the children at
once.
See here, went on Uncle Wig
gily, hopping off the sidewalk lit
tie distance ID a soft patch of dirt.
Here are some colored stones.
They are not straight and smooth
as the sticks of chalk in school,
but they are almost as many colOrs.
Here is a red stone, and blue one,
also one col0red purple. Here's a
yellow stone and a green one. Take
these stones. They are soft and
you can mark on the sidewalk with
them as well as you marked the
blackbOards in school. Best of all
they don't cost a penny. The stones
are free"
"Hurray' shouted the rabbit
children. They hunted and soon
found many colored stones which
they used as chalk to draw pictures
on the sidewalk. They had lots Of
fun. You can do the same.

KTDNAPERS AGAIN

Public opinion of kdnapers is almost
too well known to need comment so 1t Is
interesting to know what kdnapers think
of the public.
Arthur Gooch was sentenced Wednes-
day in the federal court at MuSkogee,
Oklahoma, to be hanged for participa-
tion in the kidnapping Of two Texas Off
GERS last September. His partner IN
crime was killed when he resisted cap
ture.
II don't believe l should be hanged
when no other kidnaper ever has paid
such a penalty" GoOch told Judge Rob
ert L. Williams, who imposed the SEN
tence. Gooch had logic on his side at
least. for only recently the governor Of
Missouri commuted the death sentence
of a condemned kidnaper to life impris-
onment.
Judge Williams also had something to
say on the occasion. Because some
iuries were spineess is no reason for
not assessing the death sentence when
one is passed. 1t is not easy for me nor
pleasant, but kidnapcrS should not be
permitted to roam around like mad dogs
without punishment
1t is evident from the dispatches car
ried on this case that GOOch and his
partner were guilty of kidnapping in that
they forced two officers to accompany
them while they were trying to make
their escape from the law. They We're
not kidnapers in the strict sense of the
word-they did not kidnap for financial
gain. This is not offered as any excuse
for them, for by abducting the officers
they imposed the same fears on the fam
lies of the men that the kidnaper for
money does on the family of his victim.
Gooch merits the penalty dealt out to
a., him.
Even more so does the kidnaper for
financial gain merit the death penalty
and that goes for Mrs. Valley too, as
far as we are concerned.
Gooch confidently expects to dodge
the gallows. However, he is in tight
place for it was federal sentence i'm
posed upon him and the federal penal
ties are not as easy to escape as those
imposed by the states.
1t seems necessary for somebody to
take the lead in hanging kldnapers. Cal
ifornia has the chance, with two such Of
tenders sentenced to the gallows and it
is hard for US to understand why state
which actually applauded the lynching
Of two kidnapers at San Jose should
show any qualms about hanging two who
were convicted in the courts. If the
courts are not upheld we can expect
more lynchings.

"DONT QUOTE

WASHINGTON, June 81 tUP) -
NeWSpapelmen have conferred the
famous nickname of Poincare -
Savior Of the Franc on Henry
Morgenthau. secret airy of the
treasury.
He won the nickname by assis-
tance rendered the French govern
ment during its difficulties in halt
ing a flight from the franc early
this month.
Morgenthau indicated he was not
6ispleased at the new nickname. He
grinned broadly and tucked his

suggestion.
1T wasn't the franc we were

Chairman Kenneth McKellar,
CDemD, Tenn, of the senate post
office committee, makes a great
point of being present in the senate
whenever the routine of confirming
postmasters is gone through.
There usually are a great many
nominations and McKellar rises
with no little dignity and moves
that they be confirmed Zen bloc. ="
That eliminates necessity OF in
diVidual action on each nomination.
But one day McKellar was late.
He puffed into the senate just as
the postmaster business was being
taken up. Pleased that he had not
missed performance of his daily
duty, Mcclellan rose with customary
dignity and moved as usual that all
nominations be confirmed zen bloc.
AS Mcclellan sat down, the clerk
read one name-the only one on the
days calendar.
The senate did not disappoint Nc
Kellar, 1t confirmed the lone
nominee as requested.
Harold L. Ickes, PWA administra-
tor, famous for keeping politics out
of the huge PWA program, decided
the time had come TO eXpOund his
theory of politicians in public office.
He explained that he had no
scruples against a man with polit-
ical affiliations holding office.
IN fact" he said, "a man should
make a more competent public Of
ficial if he knows something about
politics. After all, the government
is a political enterprise"
In illustration, Ickes said that the
biggest failure I ever saw in public
office was a business man. He was
like person trying law suit who
had never been to law school"
After Ickes finished his discourse,
some one asked him if his subordi-
mates in the PWA program were
selected by James A. Farley, Demo
cratic national chairman.
No said Ickes They were my
