Gee, he's found a real old rubber shoe. What will he do with that?"
 The man replied, "I'll charm 1t, miss. You've never seen a shoe lige this. When I get through, twill carry Duncy. and it won't go flat"
 The shoes was placed upon the gound and, as the strange man walked around. he said lot of funny words which made the Tin ies roar.
 "Now, Duncy, climb into the shoe," the man exclaimed. "Real shortly you will bounce along upon the ground. A nice ride is in store."
 "Well. maybe you'll think I'm a dunce, but I'll try your suggestion, once," said Duncy. "Then he scrambled in, and added, I'm ali set"

 eff we roll on, we'll be unkinds cause then we'd leave him far be- hlnd." Then Duncy said, T wish I had some way to follow you.
 However, I am stopped right here. There's nothing can do, I fear. Why, don't you all hop from your tubes, and let them roll away?"
 Just then the rubber man ap- petred and all the Tinymites were cheered when he exclaimed. Don't worry, tots. I'll gladly save the day.
 sI have your tubes trained so they mind, and, very shortly, you will find that they'll roll round in circles. You won't disappear from sight.
 ''No, watch, and see what will do for Duncy. Why, before I'm through. he'll be off on another ride, and all will be all right"

Poland Pardons Five Plotters,
Recalling Famous Brest Trial

WARSAW, Poland (R.-Time has
written an end to the famous political
drama known to the world as the
Brest trial.
The troubles of five of the ten op-
position Deputies who were tried and
sentenced on charges of plotting q
coup d'etat are over. They have been
pardoned by presidential decree.
The remaining five, including ex-
Premier Wincenty Witos, fled the
country before enforcement Of the
vredict sentencing the men to 18
months imprisonment and three years
loss of civic rights.
The Brest trial, with its political
background Of challenge to Marshal
Pilsudski, grew out Of meeting in
Cracow in the Summer Of 1880. A
group of radical Deputies, led by
Witos and the prominent Socialist
leader, Herman Lieberman, proclaimed
an open fight against Pilsudski's rule.
This outburst passed without i'm
mediate consequences, but two months
later, when Parliament was dissolved
and q new election announced, the 10
leaders Of the Cracow Congress were
arrested and jailed in the fortress Of
Brest. They we're charged with at
tempting to overthrow the govern
ment.
Treatment accorded the prisoners
fed to public demonstrations and
stormy parliamentary scenes, but dur
ing three months Of an ensuing elec-
ton campaign they were kept in COM
plete isolation.

their trial. q year later, when the
court found them guilty. The Supreme

Court affirmed the verdict in the Fall
Of 1888, after an appeal.
Before the verdict went into effect
five of the Deputies fed. Except for
Stanislas Dubois, the youngest, all Of
the five who chose to serve their SEN
tences were given sick leaves" be-
fore the pardon came.
However, only for Norbert Barlicki,
an old Socialist leader who fought
valiantly for Poland's independence,
does the pardon restore full civic
rights.
The others, for the next two years,
cannot be reelected as Deputies,
