Festival of Midsummer

In pagan times Germany cele-
brated the festival of Midsummer,
or "Sonnenwendfest," as the &C.
casion when day triumphed over
night, light over dark, the forces
of good over evil, and today many
superstitions are still observed. A
young couple expecting to be mar
ried soon must either jump through
the wheel of fire or over a bonfire,
so that their union will be happy
one. In some sections, a few hand
fuls of grain are thrown into the
flames, a souvenir of the old Gus
tom of offering sacrifice to the
sun.

Karakul Sheen Sacred

Karakul sheep have been regard
ed as sacred by Brahmans, Budd-
hists, and Mohammedans, notes a
writer in the Detroit Free Press.
They are the first animals men
toned in the Bible and historians
consider them the first animals to
have been domesticated in pre-
historic times. "To the Bokharan,
each part of the sheep has SYM
bolic meaning. The skull is re-
garded as the seat of kno Sledge,
flexibility of life, etc., and on sac
red pilgrimages the roadside is
hung with these parts which the
pilgrims touch.

YANKEES WON
THIRD GAME In
ROW SUNDAY
KING CARL HUBBELL WAS
LOSING PITCHER; GEHRIG
CONNECTED FOR HIS SEC
OND HOMER OF SERIES
iSnecfnI To The CitiZenl

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The
New York Yankees won their third
1856 World Series game yester-
day, 5 to 2, although the Giants
used their ace hurler on the
mcund-King Carl Hubbell.
"Murderous Row. or the 'Hom-
icide Squad" connected for safe
hits when they were needed, as
they did in Saturdays game.
Lou Gehrig hit one for his
second home run of the series in
the third inning yesterday, scoring
runner ahead of him, which gave
the Yankees a comfortable lead.
Larping Lou also doubled dur
ing the contest.
The bottom of the Yankee line
up was switched around yester-
day.
Monte Pearson, who injured his
back during the last week of play
in the pennant race, did the twirl-
ing for the American Leaguers.
He held the Giants to but seven
hits. The first man to face him
got a free pass to first base but
the next two batters went down
swinging.
On his first three trips to the
plate, Manager Memphis Bill Ter
ry of the National Leaguers struck
out twice and walked once.
Hubbell gave way to a pinch
hitter in the eighth frame, the in
ming in which it was thought the
Giants would stage a rally that
would either tie or win the game.
However, only one .lurner cross
ed the rubber. 1t was a tight spot
for Pearson. Leslie, who batted
for King Carl, singled.
An all-tinfe record was broken
in Sundays game as more than
$4,000 fans witnessed the con-
test. ''f

his feet. The sound Of the pursuer's
car was fading into the distance;
the wide swathe of light from his
headlamps was getting farther and
farther away. Ross's wrecked car,
it's headlights out, and its four
wheels sticking ridiculously up into
the air, was lying half in the grass
and half in the ditch. No sound ex-
cept soft kissing came from it.
"DILLY!" shouted Mahony anxi-
- ously. "Billyl"
There was no answer. Mahony
forced his way through the hedge
and made for the wrecked car: he
had a horrible fear that Billy was
pinned beneath it.
"Billyi" he called again, and bent
down by the car with the idea OF feel
ing beneath it to find out if Billy
was there.
The sound of a low groan a short
distance behind him caught his at
tention, and he turned sharply. The
sound had come from the dark bot
tom of the ditch, and he made his
way to the place.
Ross was lying there, doubled up
in an unnatural attitude. His breath
was coming in short, painting gasps.
Obviously the first thing to do was
to move him from that ditch bottom.
and get him Strengthened out. Ma
hony bent over him and lifted him;
a sort of shuddering moan came
from Ross's lips.
Sorry" said Mahony.
He laid Ross gently down in the
grass at the side of the road. Kneel-
ing beside him in the darkness, he
could just see his face. deathly white
except for the red smears across it.
AS he looked, Ross opened his eyes.

There was strenuous urgency in

he plucked feebly at Mahony's

Ross turned and looked back over
his shoulder. In the glare of the fol-
lowing headlights his face looked
more than ever drawn and pale.

Il know whose car that is"
There was a harsh jerkiness in
his voice; he spoke in the tone of
a man suddenly awakened to a
deadly peril. Mahony did not know
what to, say; he did not understand
his friends frame of mind.

went down hard on the accelerator,
and the car shot forward at vastly
increased speed. The needle of the
speedometer moved from forty to
forty-fve, forty-five to fifty-five,
fifty-five - more slowly - to sixty,
and there remained quivering slight
ly. But the booming roar behind
sounded more loudly; the glare Of
the pursuing headlights increased
in intensity.
Mahony glanced back over his
shoulder. Now the pursuing car was
only few yards behind, its head
lights throwing dazzling blaze of
light in Mahony's eyes. AS he
looked, screwing up his eyes trying
to see better, there came from be-
hind that brilliant glare a sharp ex-
plosion and a sudden distinct spit
of red flame. Something went

Ross did not answer; he did not
seem to hear; all his attention was
concentrated grimly on driving.
From behind came the sound of
more shooting, SHARP and vicious:
crack. crack. crack, like big whip
lash swapping in the air.
Without warning, the car lurched
wildly, Strengthened out for a mo.
ment lurched dizzily again. skid
ded, with a wild scream of tires,
broadside on for a few yards, hit
the low grass bank at the side of the
road. and then overturned with a
tremendous crash.
Mahony, with a sensation of utter
helplessness, felt himself shot bodi-
ly from his seat and flying through
the air. InstinctiVely he raised his
arms to, shield his face. With the
echoes OF the crash ringing in his
ears. he landed in a soft hedge,
smashed through it, breaking small
twigs and branches, and landed with
a bump In soft grass on the other
side OF the hedge.
Shaken and scratched, but com.
paratiyely unhurt, he scrambled to

Mahony philosophically, no doubt
time and fate and change had been
at work in their well-known manner
during the last four years, and this
was the result. But it annoyed him.
He had returned from four
years stay in China a week previ-
ously, and had been staying with
Ross at his London fiat. During the
whole of that week he had found
Ross nervous, fidgety and irritable
quite unlike the happy-go-lucky
Ross whom he remembered.
Now the two of them had halted
fora drink at wayside inn on their
way down to the house of Captain
Ross, ,R.N:, Billy's father, who was

guests from London, whom Mahony
had met, were also comm" down
for the party: Elsa Little, young
film actress, and Ambrose Lawson,

to stay the night at Captain Ross's
house and return to London the
next day.
AS they slipped their cocktails at
the bar counter. Terence Mahony
wondered for the hundredth time at
the change that had come over Bill
ly. At times Billy's mouth twitched
oddly; he had a pale, unhealthy
look; he could not keep his hands
still. Behind the bar the platinum
blonde barmaid was reading an eve
Aing paper.

some relish. Il wonder what's hap

Ross made sudden irritable ges-
ture and knocked over his glass.
The liquid ran over the bar counter.

voice-the voice of a man whose
nerves are very much on edge. The
barmaid looked up from her paper
at Mahony and made a surprised
face. as If to say: There's a nasty
temper for you"
I'm sick of this place." went on
Ross roughly. Let's get out of il"
"As you like" agreed Mahony
good-temperedly. For himself, he
could see nothing wrong with the
place, but if that was the way Billy
felt about it -.
They left the inn and went out to
BiIly's car. Though it was still early
in the evening, darkness had al
ready fallen. About twenty-five
miles separated them from Captain
Ross's house in Hampshire. Billy
stepped into the driving-seat. Ma.
hony got in beside him and they
started.
IT was a bleak, cold evening, and
i there was little traffic on the road.
About two miles out of Bagbury,
where they had stopped for their
drink, they heard the booming roar
of a powerful engine behind them,
and the glare of strong headlights
shone past them, lighting up the
hedges at the sides Of the road.

had bored him for the last seven days. That
astonished Mahony. 1t had never occurred

him.
The two young men had been friends
for ten years. A certain carefree lawlessness
