New York, Nov. t— “That
“Abe Lincoln in Illinois,’’ has in

_ “Before we leave London,” said Mr,
Van to Sam and Betsey one fine day,
“we must see the famous docks that
line both sides of the Thames River
and take a look at the boats from all
parts of the world tied up there.”
Sam and Betsey fell in with the idea
at once and before long, our travelers
with Gyp, their little brown dog,
were in the midst of all the hurry and
confusion of a busy seaport. Trucks,
loaded to the top, were rumbling to
and fro; long lines of men were un
loading the big freight ships and the
whole scene fascinated our little trav
elers. One big dock was heaped high
with piles of cocoanuts, another was
covered with bananas, bags of wheat
and coffee filled a third, and so it
went It seemed to Sam and Betsey
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
river’s 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 r. steady stream of
smoke coming out of its chimney.
"Oh, let’s go on board and see what
It is like,” cried Betsey and as fast
as they could wTalk the narrow gang
plank, they found themselves standing
on the deck of the barge.
“Why it looks as long as a city
block,” said Sam, “I had no idea a
river barge was so big. The little
green cabin looks like a shoe box,
doesn’t it, Mr. Van.”
“Yes, but look over there." laughed
| OntiMi.. oi,a stanilimr on the deck in
a pen of Its own, Sam and Hr. Vail
saw a large white nanny goat quietly
eating a pile of green grass from m
bag made out of an old fish net.
Just at that moment the door of thd
cabin opened and a jolly old woman
came out. "Good morning to ye and
welcome,” she said, "I see ye iiko
my goat.” I
“Oh, indeed we do,” said Betsey,
“but why do you have a nanny goat
on board your barge?” |
“Bless me heart, child, you’ll soon
see,” replied the old woman, ana
down she sat beside the goat and
promptly milked her day’s supply.
“We get her grass that she eats from
around the wharves, growing In thd
cobble stones, and I’m sure she liked
it,” said the old woman, as she milked
her goat, “for I’ve never heard her
complain.”
When her pitcher was full she asked
them in the cabin, which our traveler*
found looked like a country cottage^
with its Dutch blue clock, and its stiff
white curtains. The children were 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, “ye'd
think it was spooky if ye didn’t know
that it’s a wind harp, brought all tha
way from Greece. Hang it up in a
soft current of air, and it will play
ns long as the wind blows through th«
strings.”
“Well,” said Sam, as they found
themselves back on the street again,
“that was a real adventure, first find
ing a goat on a barge and then a harp
that is olared by the wind”
nearly half of the 1,400 scats at,
the Adelphi have been sold. They
argued persons desiring good
' seats to call either the organiza
tion’s Harlem branch, 224 West
135th Street, Ed-4-5661 or Na

WILLIE BRADSHAW WILL
GET A NEW CHANCE TO
FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Staunton, Va. Nov. 9— The
chance for freedom looked more
hopeful tc)iay for Willie Brad

ginia Court of Appeals on Octo
ber 9 reversed a lower court rul
ing wnich convicted the 60 year
old prisoner of first degree mur
der in the death of a white de
puty sheriff who broke into his
home without a warrant early in
April, 1938.
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

the Appeals Court. Martin is as
sisted by Leon A. Ransom, a
member of the national legal
committee of the National Asso
