knew what was coming; the letter had
fallen into the wrong hands. and he was

little piece of paper was carefully swal-
lowed.
Coleman's plan OF escape was very
simple one. He knew that he would be
taken back TO his old place IN the shoe
shop. and he knew that in the yard just
outside was a large iron grating cover
ing the opening OF the sewer which
drained the yard when IL was washed.
The sewer connected with a little river
running through the town about hun
bred yards beyond the prison walls.
Whether or not this sewer was large

not know, but he did know that the graf

dred dollars would be enough for him

Public Health Service Cites Need O.
Fighting Disease Carriers,

AS a further step in its war against

appeal to property owners to "ratproof"
structures now under construction, and to
transform buildings now erected SO that
rats and mice may be kept out DR..
French Simpson of the service gives di-
rections for ''ratproofing,'' and dwells on
the Importance of the subject.

LITTLE BEDTIME STORIES.
SAMMY JAY UNDERSTANDS.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.
/ Copyright. 1913. by ]. g. Lioyd)

1t was a beautiful morning. Jolly,
round red Mr.. Sun had thrown his bed
clothes off very early and started to
climb up the sky smiling his broadcast.
Old Mother West Wind had swept his
path clear Of clouds. The Merry Little
Breezes, who, you know, are Mother
West Winds children. had danced across
the Green Meadows up to the old or
chard, where they pelted each other
with white and pink petals of apple
blossoms until the ground was covered.
Each apple tree was like huge bou-
quet Of loneliness Yes, indeed, it was
very beautiful that spring morning.
Sammy Jay had got up almost as early
as Mr.. Sun and Old Mother West Wind.
AS soon as he had swallowed his break
fast he flew up to the old orchard and
hid among the white and pink blossoms
to watch for Johnny Chuck. You see,
he knew that Johnny Chuck had some
sort of a secret which filled Johnny with
very great pride, but what 1T was Sam
my Jay couldn't even guess. and nothing
troubles Sammy Jay quite SO much as the
feeling that he cannot find out the Sc
crets of other people. SO he sat very,
very still among the apple blossoms and
waited and watched.
BY and by Johnny Chuck appeared on
cited, did Johnny Chuck. He sat up
very straight and looked this way and
looked that way. He looked up in the
apple trees and. sammy Jay held his
breath for fear that Johnny would see
him. But Sammy was SO we'll hidden
they failed to see him. Then Johnny
Chuck actually climbed up on the old
stone wall so as to see better, and he
sat there long time looking and look
O. tiv,Hr. ant q
seems to be terribly watchful this morn
ing. / never knew him to be SO watch
full before. l don't understand it, NUT
tered Sammy to himself.
After a while Johnny Chuck seemed
quite satisfied that there was no one
about. He hoped down from the old
stone wall and scampered over to the
doorway of his new house, and there he
began to chatter. Sammy Jay stretched
his neck until 1t ached trying to hear
what Johnny Chuck was saying, but he
couldn't, because Johnny's head was in
side his doorway.
Pretty soon Johnny Chuck backed out
and sat up. He looked very proud and
important. Then Sammy Jay saw some
thing that nearly took his breath away.
1t was the head of Polly Chuck peeping
out of the doorway. 1t was the first time
that he ha| seen Polly Chuck.
Why .asped Sammy Jay, 1T must
be that Johnny Chuck has mate. and
! didn't know thing about 1T! So that's
his secret and the reason he has ap-
peared so proud lately!'
Polly Chuck came out on the door
step. She looked just as proud as john
ny Chuck. and at the same time she
seemed terribly anxious She sat up
beside Johnny Chuck. and she looked
this way and that way. just as Johnny
had. Then she put her head in at the
doorway and began to call in the soft
est voice. In a minute Sammy Jay saw
something more. 1t surprised him so
that he nearly lost his balance. 1t was
another head peeping out of the doorway,
