The Tiny girls were filled witt glee, aad Dotty said, AS you car sec, we finally have found some gold. There's lots inside that hill
 I'm sure that we ca0 bring it out. The Tiny boys will help, nc doubt" Wee Choppy, who was standing near, exclaimed, You bet we will.
 Well gladly work the livelong day, because we have a lot to pay the old prospector back for. He has been real kind to us.
 I'm positive that everyone will think the task a lot of fun, 'cept Duncy. If he has to work, he'll likely start a fuss"
 A pelican then waddled near, and Scouty yelled, Hey, bird, come here" He waited for a minute, and the bird came to his side.
 Then Scouty said, Now, kindly dart away and get our little cart. If you bring it back in a rush, we may give you a ride"
 The bird seemed willing as could be. It waddled off real clumisly.

In just little while the cart came rattling OCT the ground.
 Well, good for you," cried Dot ty. Say, you've been a lot of help today. Don't go away. We'll buy you food with gold that we have found"
 That won't be necessary, lad, because 1 will be very glad to feed the funny pelican the old pros- pector said.
 "Ill take him to my hut, right now, and feed him till he's full, somehow If you tots wish to load the cart with gold, now, go ahead"
 And so the whole bunch went to work. Why, even Duncy didn't shirk. The shiny nuggets were brought out and loaded, one by one.
 Course some were big and some were small, but Coppy said, wen get them all. Fen though the larg est ones are heavy, we are having fun"

GREENE PEEVED
 AT COP. REPLY
''Must Think We're Made of Money" Mumbles
 Democratic Official

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 28.-(UP)- William M. Greene, secretary Of the democratic state central committee. was a little peeved today at the ac- ton of the republican national com mittee in sending him one copy ot the g. o. p. platform for 1886, witt, instructions to print 5999 more if he wished. .
 This embarrassing situation was brought about by Greene's request for 5000 republican platforms to be distributed, along with democratic platforms, throughout Connecticut.
 T am sorry," Rep. Joseph w. Mar tin, manager of the g. o. p. eastern headquarters at New York wrote Greene, that it is impossible for us to furnish you with the number you desire. However, am attaching one copy of the republican platform.
 'tIf you think it worth while, with the larger funds at the disposal of the democratic party you might want to have it reprinted"
 Said Secretary Greene:
 Apparently MT. Martin knows more about democratic finances than I do. We are not financed to prin: 5000 republican folders.
 He turned thumbs down then on the request of Republican Town Chairman Harry Ward, Hartford, for 12,000 copies of the democratic plat form of 1892.
 'T," he said, "feel complimented by MT. Wards request which assumes we are financed to print 12,000 copies of the 1892 platform"

BLOOD DRIPS FROM
 BAG; YOUTH FLEES
Mississippi River Hides Trail Street Car Scene
 Excites Passengers

Minneapolis, Sept. 28.-(UP)-The Mississippi river today hid the trail of a youth who leaped from 8 street car and fled with 8 suitcase which dripped human blood.
 Oficers followed the trail from a downtown corner to the banks of the river, where they found a fragment of white cloth stained red. They dragged the river but found nothing.
 The youth, described as about 18 years old, boarded the street car in downtown Minneapolis Saturday night.
 Passengers saw thin red stream oozing from his suitcase. They turned their heads curiously, and some stared, first at the suitcase, then at its owner. Their excited comments caused the youth to squirm. As Motorman Albert Lin- dahl slowed his car for 8 stop, he snatched up his suitcase and jumped off.
 The passengers, aroused more than ever by the youths precipitous de- parture, called LindahIs attention to the crimson puddle. He notified his employers, and they called police.
 Officers scraped up few flakes from the drying blood, and rushed to General hospital for an analysis. Chemists there confirmed their fears it was human blood.
 Because none noticed the youth police had no clues to his identity until a few minutes before he fled, except a shoe print in the mud of the river front.

 CTS ExtOl Memory

Prominent civic and community leaders were among the three hun- dred who yesterday witnessed and took part in dedication of the Mar tin Scully memorial, which, in the form of a bronze plaque imbedded in stone, set in background of evergreers, stands near the entrance to the Community House, as a re- hinder to posterity, of the accom- plishments of 8 former mayor of this city, and the first president of the Washington Park Community club.
 The memorial, which reads, "In memory of Martin Scully, mayor of the city of Waterbury, 1914-1917, first president of the Washington Park Community club. Dedicated Sept. 27, 1936," was unveiled by three of MT. Scully's grandchildren, Ann Margaret and William Moore and Mary Gertrude Scully.
 John A. Hayden, chairman of the general committee, presented 1t to Mayor Frank Hayes, who turned it over to Superintendent of Parks James Curtin, in whose charge it will remain.
 In accepting the memorial on behalf of the city, Mayor Hayes de- scribed 1t as "a fitting memorial ot man so well loved and so well respected in this community"
 Speaking spontaneously as eulogist, ex-Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile stated that knowing the late MT. Scully since early boyhood, recounting his many achievements came natural to him, and really required no prepara- ton. His first contact with him was when MT. Scully was advisor to a group of boys in St. Patrick's par ish. Several local men, now prom inent in this city. owe at least part of their success to MT. Scully's guid- ance, said MT. Guilfoile.
 He praised his accomplishments during the period he was chief ex- ecutive of the city. during the try ing World war days. He pointed to the many civic improvements ef- fected by MT. Scully and declared that he had left a monument of deeds to his memory.
 MT. Scully was 8 man of lofty character, of pleasant personality, and possessed of 8 high sense of civic righteousness" he said. In con-

BOSTON LAWYER
 SAVES HIS SON
Fire Destroyed 2Ol=Year- Old Building in Which
 Youth Was Sleeping

Ipswich, Mass, Sept. 28-(UP)- A prominent Boston lawyer risked his life to rescue his son early to- day when fire, believed of incendiary origin, destroyed 8 20l-year-old recreation and guest house on the Grinnell estate. Loss was estimated at $20,000.
 Awakened by the crackle of flames Frank w. Grinnell, secretary of the Massachusetts Bar association, peered from his bedroom window and discovered that the recreation house was ablaze.
 Clad in pajamas, Grinnell raced to the burning building. where his son Charles, 1T, a student at Browne the Nichols school, was spending the night. Neither fire nor smoke had awakened Charles, but his father soon shook him out of his slumber and hustled him into the open air.
 By this time Ipswich firemen, who had been summoned by other mem- bers of the household, were on the scene. They managed to confine the fire to the ancient recreation build- ing, which housed law library, an indoor tennis court and guest rooms
 The elder Grinnel said he had re- turned home shortly after midnight to find two barrels ablaze near his mansion. He extinguished the flames with a garden hose. He believed that later the firebug applied the torch to the recreation house.
 Unwilling to say fiatly that tho fire was set, Fire Chiaf Edward Smith of Ipswitch nevertheless ad- mitted that 1t looked "very suspi- ciotls."
