Chicago Tribune Company THE SAGE OF SHADY REST ,10 THE TALE OF CHIRPY RICKET If ARTHUR .SCOTT BAILEY CHAPTER X. hslC -II r 1 C Caught! Whatever or whoever it wai that had entered Chirpy Cricket'i home the hole in the ground near Farmer Green's barn it caused him a ter rible fright. It kept poking him in a most alarming fashion. Chirpy couldn't move away from it, for his home wai only big enough for him self alone. And since he didn't care to share it with another, he soon made up his mind that there was only one thing for him to do. He would Quit his house for the time being, with the hope of finding it empty later. Indeed, Chirpy Cricket thought he would be lucky to escape in safety. So he scrambled up into the daylight, to be greeted with a shout and a pounce, both at the same time. And Chirpy Cricket saw, too late, that i was a creature much big ger than a hen that had captured him It was Johnnie Green 1 ', Of course, Johnnie himself had not entered Chirpy's underground home. What he had done was merely to run a straw into the hole where Chirpy lived and prod him with it until he came out. "Ahal" said Johnnie Green as he looked at his prisoner, whom he held gingerly between a finger and a thumb. "Are you the rascal that keeps me awake at night with your everlasting noise? . - Chirpy Cricket never said a word "You make racket enough every night, Johnnie told him. Can t you 'Jt ltpt poking him in a most. Iwiriintf f asbioiy answer now when you're 'spoken to?" -Still Chirpy Cricket made no reply. He waved his feelers frantically and tried to jump out of Johnnie Green's grasp. But no matter how fast he moved his six legs, he couldn't get .away. "You don't seem to like me," said "hit captor finally. "You don't act ai If you wanted to play with me. . u What will, you do for me if I Jet you go?" -'-But not a word did Chirpy .Cricket say not one single word! ." ."You're a queer one," Johnnie Green told him. "You might fiddle for me, at least though I must say T don't care for the tune you always jplay. I can get better music out of a cornstalk fiddle than I've ever heard from you or any of your family." ."Then, very carefully, Johnnie set Chirpy Cricket on the ground, with both his hands "cupped closely over h.jm, so he couldn't jump away; , i "Now, fiddlef Johnnie Green cried. "Fiddle . just "one and I'll ret you go." n Though Johnnie Green waited patiently for what seemed to him a long time, he heard nothing that sounded the least bit like fiddling. So at last he peeped between two fingers to see what the fiddler was doing. But Johnnie Green couldn't see him. Little by little lie lifted his hands. And to his great surprise there was nothing under them but grass and beneath the grass a crack in the earth. :. 'v '' -"Well! You're a sly onel" Johnnie Green exclaimed, 4 "You've crawled into that crack. And you may stay there, too, for. all . I. care." Johnnie jumped to his feet and moved away. And not until he had been gone some time did Chirpy! Cricket make a sound. Theft he played a few notes oh his fiddle, just to see that it hadn't been harmed. (Copyright, Groseet & Dunlap.)

This ap parent discrepancy is due to the fact that the particles of moisture, being in the,form of a vapor, act as a sort of shock-absorber for the waves of sound a damp blanket which im pedes their progress while, in the case of water, the same moisture is solid and quite dense, thus transmit ting the sound waves very clear. : Much the same thing is to be ob served in the sound of a pistol, fired at sea level on a cold day and on a mountain top. In the first instance the sound is sharp and far-reaching, fora the air is dense and free from moisture. But. when we reach higher altitude, the air is thinner and more rarified. Therefore the-sound waves ire by no means as distinct, nor do they carry as far. ;. Fog or vapor of any kind has a similar affect in that it diminishes , the density of the air and therefore checks the progress of the wave made by the original sound.

MONTAGUE J TO THE LOSER BELONGS THE MORALS Carpentier was morally the victor over Dempsey. G. B.- SHAW. I made a small bet on pony Which seemed for the nonce indisposed, For he slackened his pace at the start of the race , And sat on his haunches and dozed. - I tried to collect the wager, ' .' ' As George Bernard Shaw would have done, ' ".' But my bookmaking friend could not quite comprehend ' The fact that I'd morally won. ,' A grim-visaged motor policeman ' " Came hurrying up on my trail ' ' hi homeward I sped and the magistrate said: "Ten dollars, or five days in jail l" And when I defended my action . ,: , In the manner of George Bernard Shaw ' ... - The court couldn't see any sense in the plea That I'd morally vanquished the law. As a lad I attempted to wallop A youth nearly double my size, And found I could not, when I speedily got A couple of shiny black eyes. My ears were a curious purple, My nose had been brutally bashed, And my cheeks were contused yet the victor refused To admit he was morally thrashed. Hereafter, in bets or in battles, Whatever George , Bernard may say, - ' If I have at the start any voice in the part ' That I shall be destined to play, ' -. -. If the outcome shall lie in my keeping To win or to lose, I predict,. - In spite of my awe for the shrewd Mr. Shaw, That I'm going to get morally licked!

There are several origins claimed for. this tune. In England under Charles I it was played under the titlle of "Nankee Doodle." Kossuth, in America, recognized it as an old Hungarian air; and it has been claimed that an old sword-dance of the Biscayans had the same music. We adopted it because it was to this tune that the British evacuated Bos ton after the battle of Lexington. (Copyright, 1121, Wheeler Syndicate, Ine.)

It may be due to someone's care lessness that you have not been given credit, but you may not be able to prove it At times, especially at house clean ing periods there is a mighty impulse to get rid of a lot of old papers that seem to be of no use, but you would better keep the old. receipts no mat ter how. much you may regret the space. . .-. . .

Nothing to Compare With Cadillac in Value Even from the Angle of Price There has never been a time in its history when the Cadillac was not plainly the greatest value in America, or, indeed, in the entire world even if you approachit from the angle of price In America no car is comparable with it in point of long and honorable history, or demonstrated performance-value over a long period. No car that assumes or aspires to comparison with Cadillac is known in anything like the same measure for undeviating reliability, and dollar-for-dollar return in uninterrupted long-service. No other car has ever won anything like the same overwhelm ing admission on" the part of the public that it gives back dividends of uribroken satisfaction for every mile of use, whether the distance traveled be one or one hundred thou sand miles. Value expresses itself in the Cadillac not merely in countless miles of freedom from overhauling, adjustment, or repair, but as a result of that freedom in lower cost of mainte nance which lesser cars cannot equal. Expert opinion in Great Britian has pronounced the Cadillac the greatest car in the world regardless of price. American opinion unanimously echoes that conviction and both nations are right.
