years. During this time he starred in
18 British plays and 30 pictures. He

saw a large white nanny goat quietly
eating a pile of green grass from q
bag made out of an old fish net.
Just at that moment the door of tho
cabin opened and a jolly old woman
came out. Good morning to ye and

"Oh, indeed we do" said Betsey,
but why do you have a nanny goat
on board your barge?"

down she sat beside the goat and
promptly MIXED her days supply.
I'VE get her grass that she eats from
around the wharves, growing In tho
cobble stones, and I'm sure she liked
it," said the old woman, as she MIXED
her goat, 'for I've never heard her
complain"
When her pitcher was full she asked

found looked like a country cottage
with its Dutch blue clock, and its stiff
white curtains. The children we're de-
lighted, but their real thrill came,
when, as they were about to leave, a
gentle wind started blowing and soon
the whole room was full of the most
beautiful sounds coming from a harp
hanging in front of a window.
"Ah," laughed the old woman, sye'd
think it was spooky if We didn't know
that it's a wind harp, brought all tho
way from Greece. Hang it up in a
soft current OF air, and it viii play

Before we leave London" said Mr..

confusion of a busy seaport. Trucks,
loaded to the top, were rumbling to

with piles of cocoanuts, another was

that everything in the world could be
found on the famous London docks.
Before long they came to a break
in the long line of docks and found
themselves walking beside a row of
huge river barges tied up at the
rivers edge. One, very much bigger
than the rest, had a. little cabin built
on one end of it, and different from
all the others, it was painted bright
green, with pots of geraniums at the
windows and 2 steady stream of
smoke coming out of its chimney.
"Oh, let's go on board and see what

as they could walk the narrow gang

Staunton, Va. Nov. O. The
chance for freedom looked more

shaw, of Danville, when the Vir-
ginia Court of Appeals on Octo-
Der 8 reversed a lower court rul-

old prisoner of first degree muir
der in the death of a white de-
putty sheriff who broke into his
home without a warrant early in
April, 1888.
With Judge C. J. Campbell dis
senting, the court demanded the
case to the Halifax County court
for a new trial. The trial is ex-
pected to be held within the next
fortnight.
Bradshaw is being represented
by Martin A. Martin, of Dan
vile, Va, who conducted a bril-
liant defense of his client before
the Appeals Court. Martin is as
sisted by Leon A. Ransom, a
member of the national legal
committee of the National Asso-

who ordered the police officers
out of her house, and refused to
explain Bradshaw's presence
there. When the officers drew
pistols, Mrs. Buckner screamed.
Bradshaw came running down
