Three
Spain's Sporting King on a Holiday
HIS LUCKY DAY
o
By WINIFRED FORD.
(, 1920, by McClure Newtjpaper Syndicate.)
Dick Morrison was visiting a friend
he had met the summer previous at
Inglewood. Inglewood wns a favorite
summer resort of Dick's family. Ned
Greenwood hnd rescued Dick from
drowning at Inglewood bench one
morning when Dick was seized with
cramp. Friendship had developed
from this incident and now Dick was
at the Greenwood farm having the
f time of his life.
"And will you ever forget that
gypsy fortune-teller at Inglewood and
the things she predicted !" laughed
Ned.
"Come to think of it, now, she did
predict that Thursday would be my
lucky day. By the way, Thursday Is
the day I return to town I'm going to
be on the look-out for luck," and at
the mere thought of ever being super
stitious over lucky days or fortune
tellers, Dick smiled. It was Incredu
lous to both Dick and Ned that any
of the gypsy's predictions would ever
come true. .
The 8 :14 was late, as usual, Thurs
day morning, and Edna Walton paced
up and down the platform at Newfall
station mentally criticising the rail
road and all connected with It. On
her manicuring parlor windows In
Whltton City was written, "Open at
8:30," and now It was close on to
10:30. She had spent the week-end
with a girl friend at Newfall and was
In a hurry to get back to the city and
her business. Edna Walton conduct
ed a manicuring parlor called Mine.
Walton's manicuring parlor. She was
twenty-one, rather small, hnd large
laughing brown eyes and a wealth of
curly brown hair.
Dick Morrison jumped from Ned's
racer at the station and grasping
Ned's hand, assured him of the de
lightful weeks spent at Newfall at the
Oeenwood farm. He hurried to the
platform, deposited his grip on the
sound, and signaled to a passing news
boy for a morning paper. The boy
did not notice Dick, as he was busy
-counting his money at that moment.
In the meantime Edna saw the
train approaching at a distance and
unconsciously deposited her grip close
to Dick's, and took a tiny mirror from
her pocketbook and made sure the
curls were all tucked In neatly. She,
too, saw the newsboy and went after
him for a morning paper. Dick re
turned, and with his eyes on the ap
proaching train, picked up a grip and
moved forward. Edna, with the pa
per under her arm, also picked up a
brown leather bag, nnd as she entered
the trnln she secretly thought how
light the bag hnd grown since she
last carried It. When she was seat
ed In her chair she looked at the hag,
and alas I In place of her travel-worn
tag was a beautiful leather one with
the Initials D. M. printed on the side.
"What have I done and where Is my
crln?" was all she could say. nnd
tears of vexation appeared In her
eyes.
In the meantime In the smoker
Pick was surely blessing the gypsy
who had produced all sunshine and
Rood luck for him on Thursday, nnd
here before his very eyes was nn un
familiar bag.
"Of all the luck how am I going
to Ept thnt bag hack to Its owner
and how the deuce shall I recover

I'pon leaving the train Dirk Imme
diately set out for a newspaper office
and Inserted an ad (he left the bag at
his home to be called for), stating In
the ad that he would like to recover
a certain brown leather bag.
"C.riMit Scott ! I enn't go Into the

RIVERS TURNED INTO SEWERS
Streams That Onca Were Famoua Lon

Under th Ground.
The river Tyburn, which, along with
the Thames, helped to make Westmin
ster, In London, an Island In Snxon
times, can still be traced from the Mar
ble arch neighborhood to Westminster.
It originally flowed through Hyde park
and St. James' park at a time when
these were marshlands. Several feet
below the pavement In Great College
street are the remains of a bridge
which spanned the Tyburn nt this spot
just before it entered the Thames.
But the most famous of all the bur
led rivers of London Is undoubtedly
the Fleet It flowed through Jack
Ketch's warren, where dwelt nt times
such notorious characters as Dick Tur
pln and Jack Sheppard. It was a fa
vorite dodge of the highwaymen and
other thieves who Infested the district
of Saffron hill and Hatton garden to
drop through a trapdoor to the Stygian
banks of the Fleet, pull a plank after
them and so escape capture by the
Bow street runners. The Fleet ditch
ran Into the Thames at Blackfrlurs,
and small craft used to put Into It
with merchandise.
In the middle of the city wns the
Wellhrooke, and on the enst side the
Langhourne, and In the western
suburbs the pleasant stream of the 1

modate good-srtJied craft. Other Lon

The repetition of arch beyond arch
and story over story gives this amphi
theater its imposing grandeur. . This
principle of reduplication of parts, of
which the Gothic architects after
wards made so much use, is carried to
a greater extent than in any other Bo-
man building. It did not have a roof.
The upper story Is not arched like the
three lower stories, but solid and with
pilasters. Some architects think It
was meant wholly for the purpose. of
supporting and working the great ve
larium or silk awning that covered the
arena during the representation,
which may not have been attempted
when the amphitheater was first erected.
It Has a Good Name.
In the yellow adders' tongue, which
John Burroughs has poetically styled
"fawn lily," there Is a twofold appro
priateness of name, says the American
Forestry Magazine of Washington, for
the erect leaves have well been likened
to the ears of a startled deer, while
the mottled colors, with a distinct
fawn color more or less In evidence
on the outside of the miniature yellow
lines, easily suggest the name.

The Passion for Haste.
A Japanese baron visited the Uni
versity of California, and on leaving
was put aboard a partly filled local
car.
At the Junction the party transferred
to a much-crowded through car. Jap
anese courtesy weathered the test eo
far as mannurs went, but the baron
could not resist the question: "Why
did we leave the comfortable car for
this one, which Is so crowded?"
He was told: "Oh, we save two
minutes getting Into San Francisco.'
"Ah, said he, "and what will we do
with the two minutes?"

Can your little baby brother talk

small lad. "No, he can't walk, and
there ain't no reason why he should
talk," was the disgusted reply. "What

has to do Is yell a while to get every-
ing In the bouse that's worth hav

Ntvcr before in the history of Morrow county have conditions been more
favorable for seeding. Soil and weather conditions are ideal and it only
remains for the farmer to sow good seed, in good time and with good im
plements and he will be practically asured of a bumper crop next summer.
The Kentucky Light Draft Grain Drill is a triumph of mechanical
genius and manufacturing skill. Every feature has been tried out under
many varying conditions and has been proved the best possible to meet the
requirements of Morrow county farmers. Come in and look the Kentucky
