Baltimore, Sept. 14. Gorillas are
too soft-hearted to make good as

How Alice Holcombe Re
turned to School.
"Where's Alice?"
Bess Dean popped her bead in at
the office door, saw that I was alone,
came into the room and shut the
door behind her
"She's gone to the village."
"When will she be back?"
"I don't know.. She may not re
turn at all. There is nothing for her
to do." v
"I'll bet a cookie I know where
she's gone." Miss Dean put her
palms upon the rather high desk,
leaped lightly to the top of it, and
began swinging her feet. She evi
dently was in a gossipy mood, andl
wished her anywhere else.
"What are you doing here?" I
asked, trying to turn the conversa
tion from Alice Holcombe. "I
thought you had left with the rest
of them as soon as you reported
this afternoon."
Bess Dean "Digs."
"Oh, I'm trying to get into the
class with Winesy," she said airily
"She didn't leave until just a few
minutes ago. That's the reason I pro
ceeded cautiously until I saw you
were alone. I thought perhaps sheJ
was skinning and cutting her up,
and far be it from me to interfere
with a lady's diversions.
I laughed in spite of myself, her
saucy nonchalance was irresistible.
I have often envied her power to
throw off everything disagreeable,
and at no time, more than at this
moment whey the weight of the
world seemed to be resting upon my
shoulders.
"Then you've really been work
ing." I tried to speak banteringly,
hut failed miserably.
"Pos-i-tive-ly.. Got everything
cleared up for a week And let me
tell you something don't look for
little Bessie in the morning, 'cause
she's going to be sound asleep in her
little hed. Oh. ves! I know the
orders that old stuffed owl left to
rlav. and anvbodv can obey them
who wants to. But not for me!
Yon ran send a written report if
you like on my absence, but they
won't fire me for oversleeping, and
I should -worry if they dock me."
"I shall file no report unless one
is asked for." I replied a bit stiffly,
"and as far as I am concerned the
entire staff may sleep the whole two
days away."
"Don't fool yourself. Day after to
morrow we'll all have to be in evi
dence at the funeral with teary eye
lashes and black bands on our
sleeves. That's one reason why I'm
going to get a good sleep tomorrow.
I'll need it. If it's one thing more
than another I can't stand it's a
funeral, and especially one like this
will be."
I opened my lips to say that
under no circumstances would I
attend the funeral of Milly Stock
bridge, and to express my opinion
upon the bad taste of making it
other than a, strictly private affair,
but an instant's second thought
closed them again. Not to Bess
Dean could I utter any confidence.
I might as well paste it upon the
postoffice bulletin board.
Oh, Lady, Please"
Oh. vou can keep it to yourself!"
Miss Dean tossed her head offend
edlv. "What?" I asked unguardedly.
"Whatever you opened your
mouth to say just now.But never
mind that. Lt me tell you some
thing that you can't deny. Alice
has gone to the coroner's inquest as
a witness, and I know it."
"If you know it, why question
-mer l asKea wun a non-tuinmu-
tal air.
"Just for the fun of seeing you
squirm," she retorted with a malic
ious laugh. "I always did enjoy see
ing little goats meandering around
the lawn, and your small Nanny has
certainly slipped its tether about
now. Ta-ta. Keep your secrets
dearie but don't you think you fool
lijtle Bessie, for you don't. You'll
have to get up earlier in the morning
than you ever did to pull the wool
over dis chile's eyes."
She slipped from the desk with
carelss grace, swept me a mocking
bow that, after all, had no ill nature
in it, and danced out of the room. I
heard her humming a little tune as
she went down the corridor, heard
it again as she came back from her
room and left the building, t
stood idly at the window and
watched her little figure tripping
down the path, as if she were the
spirit of careless,, happy youth itself,
and felt old and careworn as I
watched her.
I stood at the same window a
number of times in the next hour,
for an uncontrollable restlessness
had seized me, I felt as if I could
r.ot stand tne interval ui w""S
until Alice Holcombe snouia return.
Upon mv sixth or seventh trip I
saw a taxicab being driven rapidly
up the curving, private road lead
ing to the school. As it drew up in
front of the door I recognized in the
driver a boy of whom Alice Hol
combe had spoken as a former fav
orite pupil of hers. The lad got
down from the seat, threw open the
door, and I saw him give a dis
tinct start and thrust his head into
the taxicab. The next instant he
had withdrawn it and east a frantic
look toward the school building.
I leaned from the window, which
was only on the second story, and
called down softly:
"What is the matter?
"Oh. ladv, please come down here
quick!" he' implored. "Miss Hol
combe's dead or fainted or some
thing." (Xo be Continued)

Start Dancing Class.
"Social life in these areas has had
a great fillip since their arrival. The
G. H. Q. dancing club has become
a center of gaiety at Wimereux once
more, and all our generals are pa
tronizing it. One of our drivers has
started a dancing class. There are
tennis tournaments and plenty of
amusement.
"There are 500 drivers in France
at present and we hope to send 1,000
in all.
"They are most of them living
under canvas, and their only fear
is that they may be put into houses.
There are, however, few houses
available."

Officer Cunningham
in Hospital Suffering
From an Old Injury
Detective Arthur Cunningham, re
cently removed from chief of the day
morals squad to the detective force,
was rushed to St. Joseph hospital at
11 o'clock Sunday morning suffering
with serious illness of the kidneys.
He was stricken with a fainting spell
at Fourteenth and Douglas while on
duty. His condition is said to be
dangerous.
Cunningham has been afflicted
more or less internally since he re
ceived bullet wounds in the abdomen
seven years ago at the hands of a
desperate negro burglar in the base
ment of Ed Maurer's cafe, 1412 Far
nam street. Cunningham fought a
battle to the death of the negro in
the pitch dark cellar.
Last Saturday was his first day
with his new duties since his reap
pointment to the detective force
three weeks ago. Chief of Police
Eberstein removed Cunningham
from the head of the day morals
squad because he was "too con
scientious" in running down boot
leggers and checking vice.
