Her scrimmages, tree climbing and other boyish escapades turned ohn's affection momentarily to the staid of Daphne's companions. John, being in the same category as truly well-balanced boys(f prfeerred the feminine to the masculine the girl upon whom had set his ections. So when John returned from his year In college to take up his career and found his lovely phne with her head cropped, sprintabout the streets In training for a run, it nearly finished love affair, • a When he remonstrated with her merely Told Tales itStl Items of Interest Taken y the Files of the Plaindealex • of Yean Age Iced Drinks \ bit "Of course, if you loved me -for lay alohle," she told him, "your fove 't worth worrying about.

In the first place, you look like the dickens with that cropped hair effect, ai^d If I can't have a girl who is a girl, then I won't have any." "Don't be so old-fashioned," was Daphne's retort. "Half the girls today have boyish bobs." : * "And that half looks just like the half-breeds they are." was what John said. "Oh, Daphne, you were so lovely, so dainty and womanly \vhen your lovely curls played about in the winds. There's just nothing there now for,a • fellow to twine his fingers in." Then John smiled unexpectedly. "Never mind my opinions, darling-- you've a right to^ook.and act as-you think best." | And because Daphne really loved her -rbig John, she slipped into his arms'and 1 smiled softly against his lapel.o She; triumphed nearly always with JohnJ Her hair remained bobbed and shfe continued in her athletics.

Kenally, about three miles south of this village. One half of his house was unroofed, his barn moved eight inches on its foundation, one cow killed, tore up the trees :n his orchard, carrying them full thirty rods away, oak grubs were torn up and blown away.

"I'll manage to get there about quarter to," he told her, and . .Daphne thought she detected a queer little laugh in John's tone. At a quarter to nine John arrived at the big house on the hill where Daphn and her parents lived. > The maid who let him in gasped and - " tried not to show the astonishment she v felt at sight of him. Instead t>f the sleek straight hair of olden days, John's was long and had a wonderful wave in it His shirt was of softest silk and his tie the most girlish thing in mtfuve silk that any- 1 one could want, nis socks were of the same tint and--yes, the most deliciously sweet of perfumes wafted from his person. "Is Miss Daphne quite ready V he asked in a simpering voice and with the coyest of smiles. v. : "Oh, yes, sir," said the mild. "She's been waiting--all ready." And with that John was shown Into the drawing room where Daphne was "7 waiting with her parents. Daphne's face when she saw her perfectly good John rigged in feminine dainties, was a picture no artist could paint. Daphne's mother gasped, then frowned. Her-father cast one look at him, then burst into a regular guffaw. John managed to give both parents a large wink and because they had always felt the same way about Daphne's masculine tastes as he did, they understood at once what was in the wind. _ , "Oh, John^liaid Mrs. Thorpe, "what an Improvement. Your hair is simply sweet and I do love those flowing ties! I never could see why women should have all the dainties." "That's the stunt, old man," Bald Mr. Thorpe, "you look like the real stuff now. I like to see a fellow keep up with the times, and half the young men of today look more like women than nftn. I'll bet you've sot pink undies, too, by jove." "No," simpered John, "my color scheme for tonight is mauve--all mauve. I think these sets sweet, don't you--ties, socks, and hanky all alike. And t even have violet perfume." He turned to Daphn*. "Come, precious-- we'll be late for the dance." But Daphne's face had flushed and her eyes were black with rage. "I wouldn't go to a dog fight, let alone a dance, with you--like that." "My pet, why not? Then 1 shall be forced to go by myself." It took about three month# for Daphne's beautiful curls to slpear again and die does no more cross-coun try running.

He explains that by taking iced drinks slowly tb^ liquid Is tempered before reaching the stomach, thus avoiding the harmful results that might follow If the stomach were given a sudden cold shock. Although carbonated beverages, properly made with pure ingredients are healthful, Dr. Eddy warns against too highly sugared drinks, because they increase thirst Instead of quenching It Milk, buttermilk, and fruit juices should be summer drink leaders because they supply food needs; as well as quenching temporary thirst. Milk o>f course is rich in proteins, minerals, vitamins; most fruit juices are good sources of Iron and other minerals, as well as vitamins and easily assimilated sugars, while buttermilk " is an especially desirable summer drink because it is an excellent preventive for Intestinal troubles which are more apt to occur in warito Weather than in cool.

After the royal Infant had been regaled on a diet of 6read and milk he was carried into the House of Lords. Seated on his mother's knee, he took a dignified part In the proceedings.

Wholesome Philosophy To make the most of dull hours, to make the best of dull people, to like a poor Jest better than none, t,o wear a thread bare coat like a gentleman, to be outvoted with a smile, to hitch your wagon to the old horse If no star is handy--that is wholesome philosophy.-- RUsa Perry. Washington, June 28--It is optimistic, at least, for government officials to freely predict that more than a million men will be back to work by Labor Day. They are basing their expectations on the new industrial recovery law and the public works measure. Unless there is a remarkable change in the relations of organized labor and the employers group, the upturn will be delayed until a better understanding of mutual responsibility develops. The atmosphere fairly reeks with suspicion as the Federal agencies moboilize to enforce the new law. Labor leaders are usually militant and this militancy bordering on arrogance may do more to retard the ascendancy of labor in the pending change than any other factor. The President has wisely chosen this time for a vacation. He is aloof from the bickering and brawling that inevitably follows the initial efforts to translate laws into definite government policies- You do not expect to impress a man on a vacation with the gravity of your petty problems. It is best that Mr. Roosevelt should* enjoy days at sea away from the crowd. He will be under terrific strain when he returns to his official duties. Granted more power than any soverign, the President must finally pass on all the ambitious plans of his subordinates as all acts are carried out in his name. There are amusing stories going the round's of crafty pol iticians endeavoring reach, his ear by .back-dooi1 channels. Meanwhile the thousands of Republicans now holding olllce by grace of Postmaster General Farley are .worried and rightly so. "Big Jim" i3 travelling about consulting state Democratic chieftains particularly in the East. He is doing his best to smooth factional stnte which may imperil the party success two years hence when the country will have the first chance to register its sentiment as to the Roosevelt administration. It has been suggested that the "blanketing" of Republicans under the protection of the civil service law last fall should be offset by a Presidential order throwing open these jobs to the party in power. It will be recalled that Mr. Hoover permitted certain office holders appointed without a civil service examination to "dig in" by extending to the p<jlitietff "appointee s the same rights asf to those who passed mental tests. ) There is more truth than poetry to the current charge that Barney Baruch is virtually "President pro tempore". Some weeks ago we mentioned that Gen. Johnson, the new Industrial Administrator, has been Baruch's "Man Friday" at Washington for /nany years. George Peek, Administrator of Farm Relief was a partner of Johnson and both were aides to Baruch when he served as chairman of the War Industries Board. Though legally nothing but a private citizen Baruch wields a tremendous influence here. He has been a financial angel of the Democrats for many years but wanted a government post. Barney, as he is known to the politicians, as a su&ve fellow almost equally at home with the Republicans in days when they were in control. The adjournment of Congress did not squelch the Veterans' compensa- | tion issue which nearly wrecked the Democratic harmony. The veterans are conducting a systematic campaign which alarms legislators seeking reelection. As a consequence the party workers are pleading with the Administration to soft pedal all economies because of the possibility of political back-fire. On the other side of the fence, hard boiled advisers are ; telling Mr. Roosevelt that the coun- [try will stand back of any economy ] activity that reduces taxes and bali ances the budgetj The eight months armistice on I wage cuts for the organized railroad workers has several "inside stories", i The favorite of the day is that crediting Donald Richberg with playing ace for his clients Richberg is counsel for the brotherhoods now loaned to the government for work in connection with the Industrial Recovery act. There is a certain irony in that Richberg helped draft the law and will interpret it as counsel for the Industrial Administrator. It was generally agreed that the freight rates could not be lowered or the railroads given a boost without a slight sacrifice by the uniona. It appeared that there would be no alternative but the fine hand of Mr. Richberg apparently disclosed a path. The union men on, the rail lines will continue to draw top wages while millions of other workers must be content with conditions. It is little tricks of this sort that may m*ke spat. WHAT HAS HAPPENED Thatcher Colt, Police Commissioner, and hia secretary, JVisa Kelly, go to Oilead, N. Y., for a vacation. On the teats they pass a circua, the "Greater flabiey Show Circua," which eventually reaehfa Oilead. Miss Joaie L,a Tour, beautiful aerial acrobat of the circus, is in love with The Oreat Sebastian, star aerialiaf of the circua, though she is married to Flandrin, her partner <w the act. Bad feeling is ranklinp' between Sebaatian and Flandrin. Trouble teems to be brewing in the circus and Duoan, press agent for the show, asks his friend Colt to help straighten things out, Jtaincy shows a threatening note to Colt, explaining that each 9M •/ the principal performers of the sircus had received one. NOW QO ON WITH TBB MTORY CHAPTER POUR Colt handed the paper back to Rainey. "I wouldn't pay any attention to it if I were you. 1 didn't pay any attention to mine." >Yours?" Dugan exclaimed more than questioned. Colt took a Bhtet of paper from his pocket "I found this under my door th»« afternoon--'If you want to enjoy your vacation--or survive It--keep away from the circua.' "What do you make of it," asked Itainey helplessly. Colt turned to Ml as Kelly, "What (o you make of it, Kelly?" .. "You've got a good presa agent, Mr. Itainey." * ' Dugan gulped. Colt gazed closely and read: ""I warned you, Flandrin--you are the first to go.'" The Police Commissioner pulled the note off. "It's written on the back of the note you sent out, Dugan." "What's that?" Lovell pointed to'^ a small hole in th£ canvas. "It seems uncommonly like a bul-, let hole." answered Colt, upon ex-f aminlng it. He walked over to the' cot. Something caught his atten-r tion and he bent down over the disordered bed. He touched his finger I: to a dftrk red stain that was on the* sheet, then stood up. "And I'm afraid this is blood." Rainey muttered hoarsely, "He's - been killed!" "You can't establish a murder* without corpus delicti. Now what do you' suppose became of th* body?" Colt had not directed thai question at anyone. It was merely ^ a soliloquy that started a train (Mf. thought as to' the possible .solution. . A distinct, rhythmic noise became;, audible; first faint, then louder as:'-* it continued. The beat of a tora-f: torn! A thin, wailing savage chant:,, rose and fetl in crescendo with thew boom-boom of the drum. S "What's that?" Colt Crowned. p "The cannibal troupe!"

Then, sternly, to Dugan, "Dugan, you sent out those warnings to the various performers, didn't you?" "Me?"--Why, do you think--." "Didn't you?" interrupted Colt. "Well., .yes. 1 thought ft would be a good gag. I knew you were in town, Commissioner, before I saw you at the parade. It gave me the Idea to grab off some space in the paper and I sent out those warning notes.--But I didn't send the one you got. I swear I didn't!" "Come now, Dugan." "And I had nothing to do with that accident to La Tour." "I'll vouch for that." It was Kelly. They all stared at her. "That was engineered by Flandrin," she continued. "He stuck the edge of his cigarette against one of the balloons." "How do you know?" Dugan "I saw him do if. And immediately before that, he leaned over and whispered something in her ear." "Oh?...What did he sayV Colt was inquisitive. "He said: 'You double-crossing cheat, I'm going to kill the both of you.'" Dugan started in surprise. "You were thirty or forty feet away at the time, and the band was playing!" . Kelly said calmly, "Lip reading." "Why didn't you tell me about that before?" asked Colt. "You said you were here for a vacation." "There must be something to what Miss Kelly says. Right after the parade La Tour told me she absolutely wouldn't go on tomorrow. She's scared to death." Rainey's face was white as he talked. "Where does your Mr. Flandrin hold forth?" asked Colt. Lovell answered, "I dropped into his wagon a half hour ago. He was taking a nap." "I suggest." said Colt, "we wake him up. I should like to have a lew words with him." "Sure. Come along," said Rainey. " The group walked to Flandrin's wagon. They stared in amazement throught the open door. It was as if a cyclone had whirled its destructive way through the small interior. , The dressing mirror lay in glitter- | ing bits. The drapes were torn to ; shreds. Chairs overturned. Frag- : ments of ornaments lay in confui sion on the floor. And Flandrin | was gone! I Colt was the first to speak. "Mr. i Flandrin seems ito have,been rujlely ! awakened. But where is he?" :1 "Look!" Dugan was pbinting to a piece of paoer pinned to the canvas on the inside of the wagon. They .roupe i round It. Colt Ordered all the circua principals into Rainey's wagon, where< he. held a cursory examination.1 Miss La Tour failed to appear.' Colt, taking Dugan with him, went to the girl's wagon, where she was discovered bemoaning the fate of her dog, Chew-Chew, which has been found dead with its throat cut.1 As Colt cross-examined her, an object came hurtling through the window. It was an African voodoo predicting death for the receiver.1 , The voodoo was a small wooden: effigy carved to resemble La Tour, j . A long needle was jabbed through I the heart of it. Colt rushed from the wagon and with Dugan started a search through the grounds. Flandrin's j clothing was discovered in the < wagon belonging to the lion-tamer, J Crumps--but there was no trace of Flandrin. i Colt stopped in front of the can- I nibal troupe wagon. He peered in.' The savages were sleeping soundly.' He slowly counted the insert figures.' then turned to Dugan, his face stern. (• "Dugan. I'm going to ask you a question and I want the truth. Do you understand? The truthi" ! "W-w-what is it. Chief?" i "When the circus arrived in},' Gilead how many cannibals were in! that troupe?" j "Thirteen." "You're sure?" "Positive." Dugan'* mctutit gaped j a look of utter amazement widen-i ing his eyes. "You don't think that t, Flandrin.. .that those cannibals..." Colt's words bit out. "It's a known 1 fact that cannibals differ from the | rest of us in their dietary customs." Dugan's voice was hollow, "Mr. Colt. . .I'm not feeling very well...] M-maybe it's the night air. I seem j to have chills. Is it all right If ij hit the hay?" "Certainly, Dugan. And pleasant dreams." Colt started back to Ralrtfey's j wagon. He stopped at the Big Tent v and walked in. The huge placed with its empty tiers of seats .seemed ghostlv in the night. Faint',* shadows flickered across the canvas. A lone figure stood in the large middle arena. It was Kelly. "Have a cigarette,. Kelly ?" asked: Colt. The girl turned, startled. When she saw Colt, she stalled and took the proffered cigarette. Colt spoke. "You know, Kelly,' the modern circus dates back to the days of ancient Rome. In those days, the word 'circus' was synonymous with blood--tragedy. Tonight the tent is empty " "Tomorrow ? " "The Big Top will be crowded with people. All these empty seats will be filled with customers." Kelly frowned. "What are they, going to get for \heir money?" Colt shook his head, his manner genuinely grave. "I wish I knew." (TO BR cor "INUED) i i iiiniiiTiiiiiiii"' j The American federation of Labor take Mir. Richberg to their bosom.
