THE EVENING STORY.
RAGGED ROBINS.
Gopyrisn;. 1914. by W. Werner

Little Mrs. Grady bought the hat and
took il home. and al! the time she knew
that she couldn't afford it. and that.
moreover. ii was too young for her, If
she could Yet it cos; only $3.50. and
it was merely 4 gray chip, circlcd with
ragged robins. But when ones hus-
band gets SIG week and one has four
children for whom to provide hats.
shoes and stockings, $3.50 looms big
And when ones face sadly tells every
year of its tweuty-ninc - and even
/ claims some to which 1t has no right
/, and for a long time one has worn her
hair in an unpretentious. unbecoming
knot. it is the height of foolishness to
buy gay, blue flowers. Usually Mrs
Grady got ribbon for trimming. 1t
wears longer and doesn't fade and can
be USED at last for hair ribbon for
one of the children. Sixteen dollars is
powerful teacher in small, economical
ideas.
But, like Eve. Mrs. Grady was tempt
ed. Once. long ago. she had had just
such hat. Her eyes grew bit visit
full as she remembered. So many strait
ened years lay between that hat and

She hurried home. carrying the hat

grew. and she hoped. very fearfully.
that Anna. her sister-in-law. who lived
in the fiat above her. wouldn't run
down that evening. Anna had the
| knack of saying unpleasant things. and
she found plenty of opportunity for
employing that knack. Little Mrs.
| Grady could see the disappearing.

brought forth. And Anna was the kind
| that insisted upon knowing what was
in each package. She had habit of

a parcel home without being seen by

! She would have fingered till dusk.
| but the children would be clamoring
| for supper and Jim never liked to wait
But she did linger at the grocery store
and butcher shop. until the clerks who
knew her small buying power looked
| at her rather impatiently. SO she
| turned down the corner to the big,
| dingy fiat building that was home. She
didn't look up at Annals windows.
| Somehow all her pleasure in the hat
had gone and she felt that If Anna's
| eyes peered out at her she would be
| tempted to leave the box in the street
But Anna wasn't looking. Little Mrs
Grady went upstairs very fast and
| opened her own door. The usual hull
| laballoo greeted her as the children
rushed to welcome her. They were a
noisy crowd. She kissed them absent

would have excused new hats: at tho
drudgery, the dreariness, the poverty
of every day. Jim was waiting upon
the two children nearest him and did
not notice.
Presently Mrs. Grady made some
casual remark in her natural tone.
For what was the use of sulking? she
demanded with self-scorn. One can't
sulll long when a baby's two gravy
smeared hands are reaching ecstatf-
call for bread and butter.
But the bitterness rushed back
when Anna came in while she was
washing the dishes. She walked in
determineiiy Little Mrs. Brady stiff
fened. She had made up her mind to
say nothing about the hat to Jim
until she had exchanged it. She didn't
want him to remember.
Showed Jim that hat" asked Anna
at .So's Snse
Jim was filling his pipe and listened
uninterestedly. Truth to tell. he never
seemed to know when hats were new
and when they were old
! We'll, l think | can wear it,, said
Anna brightly. 1T suits my style. And
so I'll pay you what you gave and
that will save you the bother of taking
it back
The rebeliious red famed in little
Mrs Gradys cheeks She felt that
she would rather lose the money. poor
as she was. than see Anna every day
with that hat upon her triumphant
head
And you know l can afford it," said
Anna. And YOU hardly can"
Yes" said Mrs. Grady. After all, 1t
would save her the trouble of taking
it back. She hardly thought she want
ed a new hat, anyway. Her old one
could be made to do.
1T is pretty" said Anna, twirling 1t
upon her forefinger.
Jim had filled his pipe. Now he look
d up. Perhaps the sad dreariness of
his little wife's face struck him. He
at Anna. Then he turned back to his
wife. why. that hats just like the
one you had when we got married."
he said slowly.
''Oh, do you remember" cried his
wife. Il wondered if you would. That's
why 1 bought it,
Put 1t on he ordered
Rather pettishly Anna handed it over.
1T looks too young for me- sighed
little Mrs. Grady. sadly. Il shouldn't
have bought it,
"G'wan," said Jim Grady. 1T looks
just right. You keep it,
Nonsense" said Anna. And it won't

But little Mrs. Grady's hand held it,
and, though they were tremulous, they
were tight. And her face-surely some
of the prettiness of youth had flushed
back to it, Even SIG a week cannot
altogether suck the sweetness from
love. LAS long as you think so, Jim,''
she breathed, Il don't care what other
folks think"

ly and tried to put the hat box away
at once. But Anna stepped in before
she could open the door of the closet.
New hat?" she asked. Let me see
it. OH
The "Oh" was eloquent Little Mrs
Grady flushed red. The children hush

Gracious" said Anna. you can't

Mrs. Grady said II wearily as well as
quietly At the moment 1t didn't make
any difference to her whether she ever
got hat or not.
She put the box in the closet and
busted herself getting supper. Anna

Sammy Jay always had known this,
but he never realized how very true
1t Is until he heard Old Man Coyotes
story of the trouble that little care
lessness got him into. Old Man Coyote
had admitted to Sammy that the rea-
son he had not stayed in the great,
wide wonderful west. where his home
had once been, and which he now SEEM
ed to think was so much better than
the Green Meadows, was because he
had been caught in a trap and taken
away against his will. 1t was hard
work for Sammy to believe that, for
hadn't he seen Old Man Coyote find
and dig UP all the traps set by Farm
er Browns Boy. traps SO cunningly
hidden that they would have caught
any one else of whom Sammy could
think?
Old Man Coyote saw right away how
hard it was for Sammy to believe that
most people, he enjoyed having his
neighbors think him smart. But some
thing inside him urged him to tell
Sammy the truth. even though after
ward Sammy might not think him so
smart
about traps Yes. sir. I knew almost
as much about them as I do now. but
was careless. And that goes to show
that 1t isn't always how much we know,
but what use we make OF what we
know that counts. My mother had
taught me all about traps. She had
taken me where they were set and show
ed me Just how to find them and dig
them out without getting caught. We
used to do it just for fun. and then
eat the bait that was left there. 1 was
young then and strong headed. 1t is a
bad thing to be strong-headed!" Old
Man Coyote shook his head mournfully.
After a while I thought 1 knew it

anything to learn. Having learned all
about traps, excepting how they felt,
and that I had no desire to know" (Old
Man Coyote grinned as he said this).

CALOMEL MAKES
YOU SICK, UGH!
"Dodson's Liver Tone" better than
calomel and can not
saliVate.

Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury: quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
clamping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never
be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
Constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
Calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for 80 cents large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel, 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a
days work. Dodson's Liver Tone
stsaightens you right up and you feel
great. Give il to the children be-
cause it is perfectly harmless and
doesn't grippe.
