That Invitation "That's funuy," said Mrs. Crockett, "Mrs. Hamilton llurlburt Dickson ro quests my proienco at bridge Mon day afternoon and she requests It lu the most expensive engraved old Kng lUb, too!" "Why funny?" Inquired Crockett, temporarily suspending the reading of the sporting page. "Did you expect her to pick the letters In a pin or moke a transparency of it?" Mrs. Crocket turned up her nose at him. "It Ih funny," she said, "because 1 have not the slightest Idea who Mrs. Hamilton llurlburt Dlckfeou is- have you?" Crocket l*ld down his paper. "Never heard of her," ho said. "Hut think, Jimmy," begged Mrtf. Crockett. "Wan she on your list when we sent our announcement cards?" "She was not," sang Crockett lu de scending scale. "To the beat of my knowledge, she Isn't the sister or mother or relative of anybody I know or ought to know. Why Bhouid she in vite you?" "Well, as to that, why shouldn't, she?" bristled Mrs. Cri?ckott. "Aud It's to he at the Northedge club, and I'm dying to hoo the inside of that club. It's .two weeks off, so It must be a big party." "Well, why don't you go?" asked Crockett. "You've got. the ticket let ting you In." "Go to a party given by au utterly strange woman?" demanded Mra Crockett. "I have heard of women who wero social climbers Inviting women they wanted to get In with, oven if they hadn't ever met the in. Maybe ? " "Darling," Interrupted Crockett, "I am loath to blast your sweet illu sions, but why should anyone as ex pensive ub Mrs. Hamilton ^ llurlburt Dickson looks to bo from her Invi tation card bo sitting up nights plan ning how to get acqualnled with a perfectly sweet lady living in a $15 flat and able to afford one tailor gown a year?" "All thlB," said hla wife, "comes from having a legal mind! Hut 1 sim ply don't understand! It In address ed to iny full name and the address 1b right!" Mrs. Crockett stuck the card In her dressing mirrqr so U. would bo handy to pender over. By -diligent search she found that Mrs. Hamilton Hurl burt Dickson lived on 'a boulevard quite near, and she walked by the house without getting any further clews. Every night sho told Crockett that stoe simply must find out about tho Invitation, so sho could either ac cept or decline it. "I'd hate to offend her by declining it If it really is some one I ought to know,'' she walled. "But, of course, I don't want to thrust myself upon her if sho doesn't know mo! Consider how awkward it would be, Jimmy, for a perfectly strange hostess to meet a I>erfectly strange guest, und neither of us have the slightest common ground to stand on! We can't even ask how each other's families aro, because wo don't know who belongs to tho fam ilies! They say that Northedgo club is perfectly beautiful. Of course I'm not so crazy to go that I want to ac cept this invitation, still ? und there's iny new velvet dress, and this would bo such a good chance to wear it." "Well, go on and go!" urged Crock ett. "Oh, I wouldn't dream of such & thing!" cried his wife. "But do you think It would be awful if I did? If she's asked me she should take the consequences, shouldn't she? Of course I shan*t ? but, then ? don't you think that last hat I got looks particularly well with the velvet? I'm just dying for a good game of bridge? I've got to write my acceptance or regrets today, that's all there is to it!" That afternoon, as Mrs. Crockett sat down at her wrttlng desk, her sister in-law came In. She saw the card from Mrs. Hamilton Hurlburt Dickson, and reached out a casual hand, when Mrs. Crockett told Its story. "Oh, that's meant for me!" she said. "Mrs. Dickson Is a bride, and I'm a friend of her mother's and her moth er is in Europe, and she didn't know my front name, so she looked in the telephone book and when she found a Crockett on this stroet she thought the first one must be I. I wouldn't have missed that party at tho Northedge club for anything!" Crockett heard about it that even ing. "I'm awfully sorry," he sympa thized, "when you wanted lo go so badly!" It was then that his wife exploded. "Why, James Crockett!" she cried. "As if I ever dr-r-eamed of going to her old party! The idea! I should say not!" Difficult Alternative. "What I want to see," said tho econ omist, "is a system which will compel these big enterprises to get out and fights each other to a finish." "In other words, your Idea Is that the only way to prevent collusion is to arrange a collision." ? SqueloHed Him. - Mr. Hoopah ? You's de onllost girl I ever loved, Delia! Miss Cole ?

Ills real name was not I?gatvr but Tab gab Jute lie wap tho sou of a fa mous Cayuga chief and wuh boru about 1726 near tho Moravian settlement in Northumberland county, I'ennsy Ivanla I His father wiu the white man's loyal friend and admirer, and not only brought up his boy to reverence and love the colonists, but insisted on giv t i ? k him an Kngllsh name. So the youfm?t*'r wan called "John Logan." In honor of William Penn's secretary. ThrouKhout Pennsylvania, ami Vir ginia an well, young 1-iOgan grew. to be known ami respected lie was pointed out as a proof that Indian* could Ih? come civilized and could be as broth ers to the white tuoD. I/wait's fame as a trapimr, hunter and trader spread throughout tho whole region ills in fluence with his fellow Indians was great. The Mlngoes chose him for their chief. Handsome, of splendid bravery, he wa? universally liked. L)ur lng the Fren<h and Indian war against the Kngllah colonists he did all In his power to curb the loeal Indians and to bring about peace. In 177<> he built a home fur his family and himself on the banks of the Ohio river and tuado a good living as a fur trader. Friendship Turned to H#te. Up In 1774 ? when he was nearly 00 ?tho life of I?gan had not been much more noteworthy than that of a New York policeman. Had he died then, his name would now bo forgotten. Ills biography would have held no more or less historical Interest than that of any other commonplace, well behaved man. Ilut in 1774 thero were disturbances between some Ohio river Indians and the frontier settlors. A few Uvea were lout and a band of white "land Jobbers" decided to overawe the savages by a show of severity. These frontiers men rhosu the peaceful l^ogan as an examplo. They swooped down upon }\ls cabin, destroyed It and killed near ly all tho friendly chief's family and near relatives. IjOgan himself ?s caped the mnBBncrer But his lifelong lovo nnd trust toward the white man was changed in an Instant to mur derous hate. Ho took the warpath and attacked every -white settlement within roach. In that one wild cam paign he, single-handed, killed and scalped no less than 30 persons. He believed ? rightly or wrongly? -that Capt. Michael Crosap, a frontier celeb rity, w as leadey of tho men who mur dered his family. And against Cresap he swore horrible vengeance, sending him thlB note, tied to a blood-stained war club: "f'apt. Cresap: Why did you kill my people? You killed my kin and took my cousin prl/oncr. Then 1 thought I must kill, too. 1 have been three times to war." The Foe to Mankind. Not content with personal ven geance, Logan is said to havo stirre<l up other Indian tribes agairikt the col onists. At any rate, that same au tumn, 1,500 braves sprang to arms and ravaged the surrounding country. A thousand Virginia militiamen wero sent ugainst them, and a fierce battle was fought near the mouth of tho Groat Kanawha river. Tho Indians were so badly defeated that they beg ged for peace. I>ord Dunmore, colo nial governor, sent for their chiefs to como to a conference. Logan Alone refused to obey. His brother-in-law, John Gibson, was bidden to fetch him. In answer to the summons, Logan sent the following historic message, which generations of schoolboys havo since declaimed: ?'I appeal to any white man to say if ever he entered Logan's cabin hun gry and he gave him not meat; if over he came cold and naked and he clothed him not. During the course of the last long and bloody war I^ogan re mained idle In his cabin, an advocate for peaoe. Such was my love for the whites that my countrymen pointed as they passed and said: 'I>ogan is the friend of the white man.' I had even thought to have lived with you, but for the injuries of one man. Capt. Creaap, the last spring, In cold blood and un provoked, murdered all the relations of I?gan, not even sparing my women and children. There runs not a drop of my blood In the veins of any living creature. This called on mo for re venge. I have sought it. I have killed many. I have glutted my vengeance. For my country I rejoice the beams of peace. Hut do not harbor a thought that mine is tho joy of fear. l?gan never felt fear. lie will not turn on his heel to save his life. Who is there to mourn for Logan? Not one!" Henceforth, Ixjgan became a hope less drunkard. Ho gave way to mel ancholy and to wild fits of teni[>er. In one of these rages, during tho sum mer of 1780, he struck his wife sense less to the ground. Relieving ho had killed her, he fled. Near Detroit ho came upon a party of Indians from his own tribe. He thought they. had come to arrost liim. So, leaping from his horse, rifle in hand, he swore he would die fighting. Ho sprang at them be fore they could explain. In the con flict that followed ho was shot dead, in s"lf defense, by a bravo named TOd ha dhos ? lagan's own nephew. So perished the fex "friend of the white man." A gentle, Indian whom Injustice had turned into a wild beast. <CopyH?kt.) V Ho Was. "Was the aviator you went to ?ee equal to the test?" "He certainly roae to the occasion." Log* I Pride.
