barely able TO crawl-because OF the
neglect of human beings.
1t was the beauty of his garden
that made Mrs. Tabby decide to in
speCt them all. She thought that he
had the best and wanted to reward
him for Il. So she put her shawl
over her head one bright morning
when there was not much house
work to do. and started out to look
about at the other gardens. Mrs.
Tabbv was so good and kindly. that
she never did harm to any one. and
every one loved her like a mother.
She could purr so softly and pat so
gently that the worst sorrows rolled
away when SHE took ones affairs
up.
''I'll go to see Roly's garden first"
she said. II know that hers will
be the next best" She went into the
house, called Roly and sat for a mo-
ment on the step. The puppy girl
came smiling down. but when she
see her garden. she was very wor-
ried. She tried TO persuade Mrs.
Tabby in every way not to look at
hers, but It was useless. Mrs.
Tabby knew that there was some
trouble. so Roly took the watering
pot, filled II. and they both started
down the tiny path. Roly was larger
than Mrs. Tabby. for she was quite a
puppy. but she was very much afraid.
In fact SHE HADN'T SEEN HER
OWN GARDEN FOR MANY DAYS!
Mrs. Tabby seemed to know what
the trouble was. and took her paw
in hers. and held 1t fast They
reached the little plot of ground.
RoIy was afraid to look up. but Mrs.
Tabby did not speak and she raised
her head.
There was Just one flower left In
the garden The rest were withered
and dead. She hung her head in
shame. and confusion. Il had no
idea that they looked like that"
she mumbled. She really was not as
sorry as she might have been and
she wondered why Mrs. Tabby want
ed 10 look at her garden anyhow.
When she looked up, Mrs. Tabby
had gone and she was left standing
looking at the dead plants.
Then she was sorry indeed. and
watered the live one with both the
water In the watering pot, and her
tears. When she went with the
other children at Mrs. Tahbv's In

den, and heard the reason for his
care. she understood better than

whispered TO Mrs. Tabby that she
would have the best garden next

Dear Annie Laurie:
am a young girl just out Of school
a year and working. Last year 1
kept company with a young man
who was attending school here. We
thought a great deal OF each other,
but one night I went to the theater
with another young man. and he was
frightfuIIy jealous. but We made up.
and when he left for his home We
traded sorority and fraternity pins.
He wrote faithfully for about nine
months, then he decided he had been
foolish. and l haven't heard from
him since. which i3 about three
months ago.
Now I want my pin. and I want
to return his. and what l want TO
know is how to write the letter to
him? I still think lots OF him. and
Son't want him 20 think I want the
