a panied expression, and the pain did
not wholly leave her face during her

On Monday morning she started for
Poston on business for her grandmOth-

station, Helen looked up from her
book to see a Fosy-cheeked, smiling
woman standing opposite her in the

The Usetulness OF the Hedgehog.
Persons who are inclined to feel
ing Of enmity toward these little ami
mails, the hedgehogs. should stop to
consider some Of their characters
tics before condemning them to de-
struction, for in many ways they are
OF great usefulness. Gardeners tell
us that hedgehog in the garden will
destroy all the ruinous insects that
make such ravages on the fresh young
vegetables, and the worms. slugs and
snails cannot live where the hedgehog
has full liberty In the kitchen and
cellar the little animal Is also Of great
benefit. as he keeps them clear Of

ing insects that are a menace to the
good housekeeper.

Col. J. N. Stewart of Maple Grove
has a pussy cat which has adopted a
family of baby rabbits and she loves
and cares for them as though they were
kittens. The cat recently had some
kittens but these were taken away
from her For time she mourned
and grieved after them. but one day
the family noticed her with a baby
rabbit in her mouth. Fearing that
she intended to eat the little thing
they took it away from her. In a few
minutes she was seen with another
one. This too was taken away and
carried with the first one to the house
for safe keeping. That evening both
tiny rabbits were put back in their
nest. The next morning the pussy cat
was discovered In her basket with
three little rabbits. She would allow
no one to come near but purred and
washed her rabbit family with the
greatest of delight. What arrange
ments she made with the mother
rabbit is not known. She seems per-
fectly happy with her foster children
and the rabbits are apparently doing
well. How she will manage to teach
them to catch mice and rats is a
problem.
