sKEPTICAL Junior, who did not believe
that pencils can hear, looked her pencil over
carefully, searching for ears which it is
unnecessary to state she did not find. How
ever, the telltale pencils must be able to
hear because they said SO; and besides the
gossip they narrated proved it. There were
all sorts and conditions Of pencils from the
elegant, long-waisted, silk-tasseled variety
to the most battered stub out on the ash
heap or in the gutter. And they were, or
had been, in all sorts of places: in homes,
