the Instruments great charm. But the
~distention evoked a long wall which
was at once drowned in another one.
aOW! Owcwaoh! Wowohah! Waow-
Wow!s shrieked Mitchy-Mitch and the
accordion together.
Mitchy-Mitch, to emphasize his dis
approval Of the accordion, opening his
mouth still wider, lost therefrom the
jaw breaker. which rolled In the dust.
| Weeping, he stopped to retrieve II, and
Marjorie, to prevent him, hastily set
her foot upon it. Penrod offered an
other Jaw breaker, but Mitchy-Mitch
struck it from his hand, desiring the
former, which had convinced him of
its sweetness.
Marjorie moved inadvertently, where
upon Mitchy-Mitch pounced upon the
remains OF his jaw breaker and restor-
ed them, with accretions, to his mouth.
His sister, uttering q cry Of horror,
sprang to the rescue, assisted by Pen
rod, whom she prevailed upon to hold
| Mitchy-Mitch's mouth open while she
excayated.
This delicate operation being com
pleted and Penrod,s right thumb Sc
verely bitten, Mitchy-Mitch closed his
eyes tightly, stamped, squealed, below

pectedly, kicked Penrod again

drew forth a copper two cent piece,

Mitchy-Mitch Immediately stopped
crying and gazed upon his benefactor
with the eyes Of aSdog.

Thereafter did Penrod-with COM
plete approval from Mitchy-Mtch-play
the accordion for his lady to his hearts
content, and hers. Never had he SO
wen upon her. Never had she let him
feel SO close to her before. They stroll
ed up and down upon the sidewalk,
eating, one thought between them, and
soon she had learned to play the q c
Gordon almost as well as he. So pass
ed a happy hour, which the Good King
Rene of Anjou would have enyied
them, while Mitchy-Mitch made friends
with Duke, romped about his sister
and her swain, and clung to the hand
OF the latter, at intervals, with fondest
affection and trust.
The noon whistles failed to disturb
this little Already. Only the sound OF

Tears sprang to Louise's eyes, but
she hesitated visibly. Helen's frank

shook her head.
There is nothing you can do" she
insisted, and I hate to bother you

Yes; you know am not happy

you make it up with Bob?"
"Oh. tried, Helen; but he was not

what 1 mean. Why, / haven't been

He makes me feel as though he ridi-

further than that"
Helen was surprised She had no
idea that things had gone so far, al
though Bob had acted strangely the
evening she and Warren had been
there.
Are you sure, dear, that you
haven't done more than you think you
have to hurt him."
why, yes" said Louise opening her
eyes wide.
Helen thought for a moment. and.
as the tea things came, she poured
f-o err1 49,
Louise was provided with enough
to keep her busy.
Then she leaned forward over the
teacups and said sweetly;
The thing for you to do is to let
Bob come to you. Don't let him think
you are unhappy"
But 1 am" walled Louise inter-
rupting.
II know you are, but you must act
as though you didn't care. Bob has
been brute to you, and of course he
is waiting for you to be properly
humble before he decides to forgive
you. Don't do 1t, that's ALL"
But, Helen, it's so hard to act that
way"
Don't I know 1t. but I am trying
to make for you course I never
adopted. It's too late now, and War
rem knows me too well not to see
through 1t, but for goodness sake,
Louise, don't make the mistake I did
with Warren. If you do. you'll be
humble all your life and the one al

Helen admitted to an outsider her re-
lations with Warren.
Louise was interested. II never be-

way between Bob and me-" she said
but you're right, Helen and | really
do feel better. I haven't slept for

Vacation Danger
Told to State Folks
by Commissioner Dixon

Commissioners OF Health Samuel G..
Dixon is calling the special attention
of parents and those in charge of chill
dren to the dangers that follow vaca-
ton periods. In the time of relaxa-
ton he says children are apt to run
into harm and that everyone should
think we'll about the welfare of the
"kiddies.' The doctor says:
School is over and several hundred
three months holiday.
AFTER their winters work in school
they need change and diversion and
healthful exercise. Perhaps during the
school year. like many parents. you
have shifted the burden of your chill
dren's supervision upon their teachers.
Now for three months the full respon-
sibility must rest upon the parental
shoulders.
Its a serious problem how boys and
girls shall spend their vacations. OF
course IL you don't take a hand in it
they will settle the question for them
selves. There are always other boys
and girls, perhaps many of them that
you are in no way acquainted with,
dhu' VI COuTSe, Inefe are always DOtn
good and bad diversions at hand for
