Was there, after all, some romantic episode in her husband’s life that he had kept hidden from her? Surely there had been some terrible mistake. Surely Dave could explain.

CLEVELAND STAB EVEBY-OTHER-DAV TERMS STAGE RACE FOR PRIZES "Billy B” Wins $3,870 From 3,869 Other Fast Movers In Derby Ten Thousand people saw "Billy B.” win a prize of $3,870 in the last terrapin race at the Miller 101 Ranch near Poca City, Oklahoma. There were 3,869 other terrapins in the Derby, we are told, and “the rabid fans in the great grand stands leapt to their feet in animation as the wire barrier was lifted, and the fifty special racers, the elemination contests’ winners, ambled forth.” Billy B. was a “gopher”—that is to say, a dark horse. Immediately he "took the lead, projecting himself hurriedly toward the shade of the stands, many yards distant, as the sun was hot,” while, "apathetically, industriously, or affrightedly, the other contestants crept forward in j the general direction of the circle’s edge.” A spectator, Mr, Joseph Faus, tells us in The Sportsman that "Buddy,” a terrapin" touted by the wise guys to cop first honois, wriggled close on to Billy's tail.” Mr. Faus continues: For thirty, forty, fifty, and sixty feet, this relative position remain ed unchanged, and it was plain to the thrilled crowd that the two were the main contenders for suet for supper. Then, ironically. Billy B, came to a deep rut recently made oy a wagon-wheel, and to his hot shell the soft, damp earth was cool and refreshing. While his ardent ad herents gasped in dismay, he paus ed and made himself comfortable. Likewise, to the horror of his many cohorts. Buddy also experimented luxuriously with the engaging sen sation of the fresh, damp ground. Man o' War and Zev. neck to neck on the last streatch, could not have created a moment of greater sus pense than this. The crowd went crazy; strong men feinted—good naturedly at friends—and aristo cratic ladies after they got home had to gargle their throats with listerine, absorbine, or what other advertisers have you? As Mr. Faus relates, while “the valiant police quelled the frantic throng, Billy B. and Buddy con tinued their impromptu slumbers.” Then: After a few moments, Billy B. shook of his inertia and the dirt and sped clumsily once more for the goal and gold— Buddy, aroused and curious, crawling after him. But the grim, relentless, and grueling pace of 4Jie sturdy Billy B. proved too much for the other, and gradually he dropt farther and farther be hind. Two feet in front of his rival, Billy B. scuttled across the chalk line—precisely one minute, twenty-eight and a half seconds after he had left the center. Ice cream was his. and fame; movie cameras took His picture, and his owner took a check from the judges, all prominent Oklahomans. It was very confusing, if pleasant, to Billy B.; and, no doubt, he was glad to return to his familiar back-yard hole at the end of a perfect daze. An investigation into the interest ing history of Billy B. proves that once he was nothing but a ordinary garden, or prairie, variety of ter rapin-poor, not proud, and quite ignorant of the appearance of a news camera and the taste of citi fied icecream. His life shows how a trival chance may weld an important destiny. Months ago L. Dale Beaver, mayor and business man of Fairfax, Ok lahoma, had occasion to be on an Osage prairie, and, happening to glance down, he saw a small, home ly specimen of terrapin that was desultory engaged in doing noth* ing. Nevertheless, something about the creature imprest the observer; contemplatively he eyed it. as Char lie Chaplin did Jackie Coogan; and, thinking there might be possibili ties in the kid terrapin, he took it home and civilized it. After his WOMEN’S PAINS They Were Relieved by Cardui Which This Georgia Lady Took on Her Moth er’s Advice. Columbus, Ga.—“I don't see why women will 4rag around, in a half hearted way, never feeling well, barely able to drag, when Cardui might help put them on their feet, as it did me,” says Mrs. Geo. S. Hunter, of this city. “I suffered with dreadful pains in my sides. I had to go to bed and stay sometimes two weeks at a time. “I could not work, and just dragged around the house. "I got very thin. I went from a hundred and twenty-six pounds down to less than a hundred. ‘‘My mother had long been a user of Cardui, and she knew what a good medicine it was for this trou ble. So she told me to get some and take it. “I sent to the store for Cardui, and before I had taken the first bottle I began to improve. My side hurt less, and I began to mend in health. I took the second bottle, and felt much better. I followed this by two more bottles. "Cardui acted as a fine tonic. I do not feel like the same person. I am well now, and still gaining. My sides do not trouble me at all.” For sale by druggists, everywhere. Give it a trial. NC-t88 MITCHELL LAUDS TRAVELING BY 1 I New York.—"Commercial trans | port by air, whether over the land or over the water, can be made as safe, as regular and many, many times as rapid as any other means,” writes General William Mitchell for merly director of military aero nautics in the U. S, Army in the September issue of “Plain Talk.’’ "The airplane moves with from two to eight times the speed of rail ways and steamships,” points out General Mitchell. "With good air ways and good airplanes, such as the foreign nations already have, the safety of travel is on a par with that of railroads, steamships or au tomobiles. Indeed, for the four yeas* immediately after the war I traveled from place to place in this country I solely in airplanes and during that time I was delayed seriously only twice—once by a heavy fog between Washington and New York, and once by a heavy snow storm while cross ing the Alleghany mountains. The first time I traveled on a railway train between Washington and New York the locomotive pulled a con necting rod and jumped the track and a little later, while en route from Detroit, the train ran into such a heavy fog that it was four hours late in a 14-hour run. “What holds aviation back, prin cipally,” in the opinion of this "Plain Talk” critic, “is the cost and med dling by politicians. Under such a condition the millions of dollars ap propriated are largely misspent and the forward movement in aviation has to be made by individual civili ans who have only a few dollars available.” Every nation except the United States, he says, subsidizes its air line, realizing that commer cial aviation is the backbone of mil itary aviation. In this country we neither help along commercial avia tion nor have we yet realized that armies and navies are things of the past and that the next war will be fought in the air. General Mitchell feels that a fur ther retarding factor to aviation in this country is the attention given to accidents by the press. He says in h;s “Plain Talk” article: “A hun-, dred persons may be lost at sea, 50 may he killed in a mine, a hundred killed or maimed in a theatre or scores killed in railways and auto mobiles, and there will be less at tention paid to them than to one aviation accident in which one or two persons are killed. It is not so-called stunt flying in itself that causes the accidents. It is poor air planes, poor navigating equipment, poor weather service and poor in struction of the pilots that fly the craft.” When politics gets around to the question of why Babe Ruth did not want to shake hands with Herbert Hoover and whether he ever will, then it is seeking its own level.— Greensboro News. boy. Billy B.; the terrapin was nam ed. Everybody liked it; and it soon acquired winning ways—it won that $3,870. Since the ancient tortoise won his race against the hare, no brother or cousin of his has been able co make the front page except Billy B. Billy B.’s rise to fame should en courage other terrapins of lowly origin, it would seem, for terrapin racing is a most democratic sport, and a terrapin's backer may be al most anybody. As we read: If Jimmie, the paper boy, wants to enter his pet gopher in a Derby, he can, provided he possesses the necessary quid pro quo—that is, a small entrance fee. The mother of Lew Wentz, the oil multimillionaire, had a terrapin in the 1927 Derby. Such an animal could be purchased at a ten-cents store, if it had them, and most of them are picked up on the prairies for nothing—yes. usual ly for nothing, as the disgusted owners finally conclude after the races. They don’t demand the care ful care and the particular food that Babe Ruth, the hen, Rin-Tin-Tin, the dog. and Rex, the horse, do. i LYRIC i > S \ The House That j Pleases. | - TONIGHT - j j “The Last Man” j J A thrilling western picture j ! with plenty of action and < j thrills. | ALSO COMEDY. j -SATURDAY- [ JACK HOXIE In j [ “Desert Vultures” j j A great outdoor picture, j | Western — Comedy, News. 5 10-20c * — MONDAY — j ? “DESERT SECRETS Artists’ Models Up in Arms Over Dignity of Posing CATHERINE DALE OWEN Her* are three modes who a:* .r °cca',*e *'* «wr " ,'T of beauty.
