We are speaking of the
distinguished visitors who
have completely overrun this
Capital of ours of late.
The latest diplomat to be
host to a group of his country
men was the Minister of Lith-
uania, Mr.. PovilaS Zadeikis.
He gave q luncheon at the
Willard yesterday for some 40
odd persons and among them
were two members of the Lith-
uanian Parliament. They were
Mr.. a. GilvydiS and Mr.. NJ
Kviklys. Also among the guests
were two newspapermen, Mr..
V. Alantas and Mr.. V August
auskas. and a group of Boy
Scouts who had travelled from
Lithuania for the Jamboree.
Sportsnnen Are Guests
There are mum b er of
sportsmen from that country
who have come here for the
sports meets to be held in Chi
cago and several other mid
western cities in the near fu-
ture. They were all guests of
Minister Zadeikis.
They left the city at 6 o'clock
last night for Baltimore where,
with much fanfare, they were
met at the train by the Mayor
of the city and his representa-
tives and members of the
Lithuanian colony there. A
banquet was given for them
last night at the Hotel Balti-
more and a large official re-
ception followed. They are
leaving the Oriole city today
for Chicago.
Another interesting visitor in
town is DR.. Louis Manuel de Bayle,
chief surgeon of Nicaragua and
Minister of Public Health and
Sanitation. He is the brother of
Senior DR.. Don Henri de Bayle,
former envoy from Nicaragua to
the Capital, who makes his home
here with Sonora de De Bayle on
Massachusetts Avenue.
DR.. De Bayle is the guest of the
Nicaraguan Minister and Sonora

remain here for an indefinite pc.
Rod. AS yet his social calendar,
that is the strictly official func-
tions, has not been announced.
Former Minister
For some years this visitor was
the Minister of Foreign Affairs
of his country he has host of
friends. He was also Minister
here and was followed later by his
brother.
His varied career has been
closely connected with this coun-
try for a number of years. At
various intervals he served as con-
sui in Baltimore and as a delegate
to the recent Pan-American Con-
ference in Buenos Aires. He is
here on official business and will
spend much of his time here
studying erican health
methods.

we get straight.

Pardaloe, tying the mounts,
stamped forward, gun in hand. He
searched the pair, while Clubfoot
protested profanely at the outrage.
I'm here to take over cattle that
belong to me-bought and paid for"
stormed the butcher.
Before Pardaloe had finished rop-
ing the butcher and his helper, a
shot was heard from far across the
creek. Denison started almost as if
the bullet had struck him.
While he listened with every
nerve on edge, a complete silence
followed. It was not fight. Was it
signal?
Almost five minutes passed when
a second shot rang into the night.
Denison tried to read the riddle. The
first shot had come from a revolver;
the second, sharper and less open,
had come from a rifle It all dawned
on Denison-they were signal shots.
He whirled toward Pardaloe.
Hand me Clubfoot's gun, Bill" he
said. Securing the gun, he fired it
twice in the air.
Some guesswork here, Clubfoot,"
he remarked, emptying and tossing
the gun on the ground. II don't
know whether your answer was to
be one or two"
Scarcely were the words out of
his mouth, when a spatter of revol-
yer shots rang across the creek.
BILL" exclaimed Denison, that's
a fight. If these birds make you the
least trouble, shoot 'em. I'm going
over"
'How you goin' over?" called Par
daloe.
"Quickest way 1 can, Bill" he
shouted. "The bridge"
He was running for his horse.
you're crazy. It'll drop you a
hundred feet, mani" shouted Parda-
loe.

Denison was galloping away.

Pardaloe's deep-set, keen eyes had
been bent closely on his visitor.
Denison was dressed in his accus-

gun holster with its gun. His face
was full, and his eyes, though
blinky, seemed bright and alert.

Chaplin Due Here
in Modern Times

Charlie Chaplin in I'm d ern
Times" the comedians long-awaited
new comedy come to the Parkway
Theatre for two days, Monday and
Tuesday, May 1O-11.
Almost two years in production,
Chaplin's first picture in almost five
years is also his most pretentious.
The comedy, which introduces the
familiar little figure in the big
shoes and baggy trousers into the
relatively complex environment of
a big industrial city, casts Charlie as
factory worker with a talent fo'
getting out of jobs and into Jail, and
who subsequently finds employment
in such widely divergent capacities
as shipyard worker, night watch
man and singing waiter. The story,
which was written by Chaplin and
marks the first time he has ever
worked from a prepared script, is
said to involve him in the most hi
larious situations of his entire ca
reer. The star also produced and di-
rected the film and wrote the music,
The girl, a gamin of the water
front to whom Charlie plays knight
errant, is played by Chaplin's lovely
new leading lady, Paulette Goddard,
who has been pronounced genuine
screen find.
Others in the cast are Chester
Conklin, Henry Bergman and Hank
Mann.
