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."

LOGAN.
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.
