On the opposite hand, there are
Republican senators who have con-
Cured with the White House on the
neutrality proposition, saying that F.
d. has been right in demanding that
the arms expectation ban be lifted,
subject to cash-and-c qualifica-

he's to be commended for voting his

confronted with today. They only
had a few Moabites and Hittites and

simply had local frictiOns to deal

OFFICERS LOOK FOR
GRANVILLE FAMILY
Parents Disappear With Girl
Ordered Into Custody of
Oxford Couple

Oxford, Oct 27.-The whereabouts
of six-year- Dorothy Wray and
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. D. e.
Wray, and their other children is a
mystery to Granville county and Vir-
ginia officers, who have been trying
to locate them since Sunday after
noon when they disappeared from
Oxford
Little Dotty", as she is called, had
been in the care and custody of Mr.
and Mrs. j. P. Harris of Oxford for
approximately five years, since they
were granted custody of her when it
appeared that her parents had vir-
tually abandoned her at Brentwood
hospital.
Granville county superior court
sanctioned the care and custody of
the girl by Mr.. and Mrs Harris and
provided for her to visit her parents
twice monthly on Sunday afternoons.
Information is that Mr.. and Mrs.
Harris carried Dorothy to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wray Sunday af-
ternoon about 2 o'clock They re-
turned there about $50 o'clock to
get her only to learn that she, her
DdI OI1IS CtIlo OIOIllCIS CtIlO SISTERS were
not at the home. Mr. and Mrs. Harris
made repeated trips to the home but
could not learn anything as to the
Wrays' whereabouts.
Two or three people have told
Sheriff E. p. Davis they saw them
going toward Virginia Sunday after
noon, but that is all officers have
been able to uncover. With the aid
of Virginia officers, they are trying
to trace the family.
Judge J. J. Burney, Jr., this week
during the civil term of Granville
county superior court ordered the
child into the custody of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harris and denied Mr. and Mrs.
Wray, privilege Of seeing Dorothy.
AS to what charge will be brought
against Mr.. and Mrs. Wray when
they are found, it is not known, but
officers said it would probably be
contempt of court"

there lies a perplexing corridor. It winds in and out in the castle walls. We shall start through and the first ones back will receive gifts"
 Fine" shouted everyone. So the doors were opened and the group started through the long winding hall ahead. It was lighted with candles. But it was magic corridor. It was made with mir TOTS set at such curious angles that people seemed to think they could see around corners. The group walked and walked, some getting ahead, some falling behind. Eric and Leezen were the last in line with the white fox following Eric.
 And finally Leezen found her. self in a small turn of the corri- dor alone. She kept looking at her many images in the fine mirrors as she passed but then she stopped in hurt surprise. In one mirror she saw Eric talking and laughing with another man in the company. They whispered and they pointed at her. They laughed. "They're making fun of me-" whispered Leezen to herself. She couldn't hear them, but she could see them. Patience, patience" she whis- pered to herself. This is King Chatter's evil"

1 thought he saw Leezen talking about him with another woman in the party. But Eric only grinned and walked on. He remembered the Queens warning. Both of them walked through the mirrored corridors for an hour. Then two hours. Each little while they thought they saw each other. Sometimes the images made horrible faces. Sometimes they seemed to whisper. Once Leezen was so sure it was really Eric ridiculing her that she started to run. He's hateful Eric is cruel" said a whisper in the air. No, no, :" shouted LeeZen to the mirrored walls. Eric is good-but-but-," and she wept. She ran weeping, and finally she was back out in the big banquet hall. There sat King Chatter looking sullen. And there stood Eric. Leezen hesitated for a minute. and then she ran to his side and said. "Oh, I'm so glad to see you"
 As she said it, King Chatter snored loudly. His servants began putting out the fire, locking doors, clearing the table and pulling down shades.
 Come let's go," said Eric. They ran from the castle and down to the gate.
 TOMORROW: A new task is set for Eric and Leezen.

Chapter IS The Evil King

ERIC and Leezen set out i'm L mediately for the kingdom of the evil spirit that makes men quarrel. The Queen of Fairies accompanied them to the gate, and the white fox trotted behind them.
 Just outside the gate the Queen of Fairies said, "Now must leave you. Remember that this evil king is called Chatter. He will seem full of fun. He will try to please you. But then he will try to make you angry with each other. Ii he succeeds you will never see each other again. If he doesn't, you may do as you wish" :"
 Eric and Leezen listened. The white fox whined a little. His silky hair stood straight up on his back. The Fairy Queen disappeared and Eric pulled a long bell cord at the gate. He smiled at Leezen to give her courage.
 The gate swung open and there stood King Chatter himself. He was roly-poly man with a broad smile. He was dressed magnif- gently in red velvet with gold chains about his neck. He took Eric and Leezen by the hands, saying, How charming. Come in"
 Smiles Of Welcome
 So they walked into the castle with the white fox behind hang ing his tail between his legs. The King led them into a handsome hall where dinner was set. There were gold plates and crystal gob- lets and great bowls filled with shining red tulips. Nearby three musicians played on harps. There was a group of fine ladies and gentlemen already seated. Every one was smiling and all nodded welcome.
 Through the dinner Eric and Leezen could find nothing that displeased them. After dinner the musicians played waltzes and everyone danced. Then King Chatter clapped his hands and everyone listened. He chuckled and said, Now have a game for us all to play. Beyond that door," and he pointed to great, double door of carved walnut.
