did you ever see an Eatercow?"
asked Gabbleoff, before II came his
turn again. Without waiting for an
answer, he went on. well, the Eater.
COW was a COW which learned to eat
pie and candy instead OF grass. After
that, the farmer couldn't afford to
keep her. so he drove her out and
she turned into a wild COW. She used
TO roost up In trees on the road TO
school and wait for little boys and
girls to come past with a piece of pie
or a stick OF candy, and then she'd
jump down and eat the pie and candy
away from them. Then she'd run away
and hide In her cave, where nobody
could get her. The reason they couldn't
get her was because her cave was in
the water, right In the middle OF the
water. just like land cave Is In the
middle OF hill sometimes. When
they chased her. she would swim out
into the lake and dive down and then
they'd say, There! the old thing Is
drowned at last and good enough for
her. but she wasn't drowned at all.
She was In her water cave.
"Of course, you might think the
water would run into the cave, but II
couldn't, because the floor and the top
and the sides we're made of sponges,
and they soaked up the water and
kept the cave nice and dry for the
Eatercow.
But when II came winter there
weren't SO many little boys and girls
eating things outdoors. and the poor
old Eatercow got awfully hungry. and
one day, after she had sat up In the
tree for hours without bite OF pie
or anything, she saw bakery wagon
come along. Then the old COW jump
ed down out OF her tree and hooked
the driver and unlocked the door OF
the wagon and rummaged around and
had the biggest festival with herself
she ever had In her life. She got the
raspberry pie and the peach pie and
the lemon pie and the vanilla cream
pie and the strawberry pie and the
pineapple pie and the every kind OF
pie, besides the pie that was just pie.
Then she went into the cake box and
she got the angel cake and the sponge
cake and the marble cake. Yes, and
she got the chocolate cake and the
cocoanut cake and the stummycake.

THE EVENING Story

down"
| That evening they were to go TO
the Schenley-Schuyler's reception. Mr..
Weathers dressed early and settled
down To the evening paper while MRS.
Weathers primped. But the matter
OF primping seemed to require but
little time on this occasion. He looked
,up-and gasped.
I'm the name OF mother Eve, what
kind OF a last years orioles nest IS
that thing you call a hat?"
| Mrs. Weathers smiled sweetly. III

Mrs. Weathers interrupted. Come,
dear. We must economic by walking,
and we shall be late"
Weathers followed sullenly. At
the entrance to the stately home or

sat in an alcove all evening and chat

cousin from Butte, Mont. Weathers
perspired profusely. and went out too
frequently for something on the
side. 1t was nightmare; and when
they returned home he began:

A child's craving for sweets is the
natural demand OF the system for food
which supplies energy and heat.
Sweets do not mean simply candy,
but various forms of sugar or foods

ing the possible amount OF muscular
energy nearly fourfold.

sandwich provided for the mid-morn-

demand. Or a half dozen good, pure
candies for dessert at dinner would
be much better than a piece OF pie,
and would probably remove the habit
Of constant nibbling OF candy between
meals.

luncheon daintily put up for him to
take to school not only appeals to the
