later, she was looking for eggs OF the
wild fowl. when she was scared by a
tremendous crushing through the
brush. Indy Lou hastily scrambled
into a tree. Peering between the
leaves, she saw her beloved Ella, now
as big as small house. The hose

CHAPTER x.
A Lady Unveiled.

She wakened in the morning to
some one knocking. She thought the
sound had been going on for a long
time, but, now she was finally reused,
1t had stopped. This was odd, for no
one came to her In the morning ex-
cept Marrika, and it was tiresome to
be thus imperatively beset before she
was half awake. Now the knocking
came again with a level, unimpatient
repetition, and she called, Come I'M"
at which Clara, In a pale morning
gown, promptly entered-an appari-
ton as cool and smooth and FURNISHED
as if she had spent the night, like a
French doll, In tissue paper.
Clara's coming in In the morning

scotsmen Objected to Mixture OF Good
Whisky and Religious Con-

owen Seaman, editor Of Punch, was
the principal guest at a dinner Of the
London Authors club recently, which
was followed by a discussion on
''Humor." Mr.. Seaman began with a
story deprecating the spelling OF Q
good dinner by any discussion at all.
There were three characters In the
story-a bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck q 7
of probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The b~luebottle
buzzed on the pane; otherwise ST.
lence reigned.
This was broken by one OF the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with geological exactitude. Said
the Scotsman:
SANDY, I'm thinking If yon fly Is q
birdie or a beastie."
The other replied: MAN, don't spoil
