Messrs. Loveman, Joseph & Loeb.
Dear Sirs:-
like best of all your February
advertisements the one in the
Ledger for the goth, because there
seems to Re more continuity Of de-
sign in this page than in the 9th
ers. Then, too. the headings are
not so large as to challenge, but so
happily sized that they invite at
tention. And as one can more
quickly Grasp tho "gist of an argu-
ment" when written in medium
rather than large type, this page Is
specially pleasing.
While the attractions of each de-
partment are SCI forth in a style
peculiar to the department, no one
is so pronounced or NOISY" as TO
cause another to be overlooked,
and they are all so swung together
as to form an artistically balanced
and most pleasing whole.

to see the creek was already out Of its

The breakfast was hastily eaten, and

Gordon found this disagreeable in the
drizzling rain. The center of the creek
was running like millrace, and 1t re-

reached the doorstep Of the Peters home
and the family was In distress, not know
ing what their fate might be, the chill
dren crying and the mother trying In
vain to quiet them. The boys took the
children in the boat, together with a
bundle Of clothing for them, to their own
hut, which was still out of the water.

The Quarrel of the
Flowers.
BY LYNDON BURKE.

One would hardly think that the blue
eyed and the red-lipped flowers quarrel,
but they do, Just like nice.looking chill
dren, who ought to know better, some
times do. | know, for Bunny Rabbit told
me.
1t was after dark that the quarrel oc
Cured. During the day the flowers were
so busy growing and exhaling perfumes
that they hadn't time to quarrel but at
night, when one would have thought the
flowers and children were slumbering In
innocence, the flowers on the lawn quar-
relied, oh, so shamefully.
Bunny says 1t was the fault OF Dahy
don Oily. He was an exclusive Fellow,
who thought he was q superior being, and
of a family far more distinguished than
the Violet which nestled In the grass at
his feet. The Moon was shining brightly
and Bunny saw him when he snubbed
Miss Violet; and he told her he wished
she would keep with folks OF her own
class and not try to intrude on others.
Now, Miss Violet Is n modest and gem
tie thing. and she hung her head In NOR
tification. Bunny said she lay on the
moss and something which looked ike a
tear sparkled by her, though 1t may have
been a dewdrop.
1t happened that Jon Quill overheard
the remark and he resented It. Jon was
n distant relative of Don billy, but he
was Of the common folks; -. an,
Violet is as good as you are said Jon In
a passion.
Daffy held his head very hign and said !;
Jaw | don't know you
This was more than Jon Quill could
stand, and he struck at Daily. Some say It
was because he was swayed by a breeze
while others declared he was swayed by
passion. The yard was full or flowers
who were In n commotion.
Dog Tooth Violet, tlmid cousin OF the
insuted girl, blanched white In fear. Miss
Peach Blossom looked down from her lofty
perch and flushed red with excitement.

West Wind had not passed at this time,
and coming between the two, sootheu
them with gentle words. Even then they
moved backwards and forward In very
threatening way for quite a wnlle after
this. In the course Of time. however, the
other flowers yielded to natural desire,
and, closing their petals. sank Dack TO
repose
But in the morning, when Robin awak-
ened them with his singing, and they
opened their eyes to find the sun shining,
n sense of horror came upon them all.
There was Daffy don billy with his proud
head hanging low. His back had been
broken In the night. Some thought Jon
Gull guilty OF this terrible deed, but he
denied 1t. Bunny wouldn't tell me who
really did It. Possibly he was angered at
the boaster. and as lie wanted something
tender TO nibble, had inflicted what he
thought was Justice upon the naughty

the low places of the fields. Between
them and the town was raging river.
On the far bank stood crowd of people
from town, including Mr.. Peters, frantic
with apprehension. The Peters family
was soon reunited aud comfortable,
though in rather crowded condition, at
the caretakers house. Norman and
Gordon prepared TO 30 back In the boat
to town. They were thoroughly wet and
rs miserable as they well could be, but as
Mr.. Peters thanked them aud called them
heroes, as they looked upon the poor,
helpless children and thought of what
might have been their fate, they felt
glad Mt heart.
"Pshaw This good man here would
have got them out II we hadn't" said
Norman.

ters, "hut that doesn't rob you of the
deed you did. am sorry your camping

boys. I'VE had splendid time. Oh.

Erelong the boys arrived at their des-
tinatlon and found comfortable two
chairs and other conyeniences. In front
and between it and the creek was mag
nificent grove of pecans. To one side
were q number of apple trees, and al
ready birds were singing in the branches.
Say, this is magnificent cried Nor
man, enthusiastically.
II hope you will have a good time, ="
said Mr.. Robinson with a smile, as he
helped them transfer their provisions to
the shack. Then, as he was ready to
leave, he added:
MAKE yourselves comfortable and will
be after you Saturday noon, in time for
YOU to get ready for church Sunday"
The boys laughed, exchanged fareweils,

cousins twitting, he started sprinting
toward the river. Gordon took after him,
and they landed on the banks of the
stream, painting for breath, finging them
selves on the greening sward for rest
The race had been so unprecedented
that the boys had forgotten guns or lines.
After they had recovered breath they de-
cided to row and explore the grounds
that afternoon. They padded and punted

Some two miles from town they descended
