THE DAILY STORY
Deaf and Dumb Della

Della was neither deaf nor dumb. She
possessed. however a great lack OF con-
centration which was beginning TO an

You positively make me tired, Della,
her best glri friend had remarked II

At the time Della had laughed, but
somehow Il really had hurt her TO know
that she was fast becoming a dreamer

The Next Morning

DRIGHT and early the next morning
- Mr.. Snail walked up and looked
around for Tommy Tlttle-mouse. No
Tommy was to be seen, but knowing
Tommy as he did. the snail was sure IL
would not be long till the little fellow
would come.
And sure enough, Il wasn't.
Tommy had been astir since daybreak
helping his mate straighten the home,
seeing that everything was in order for
his absence. When he was quite sure that
every duty was done he bade his mate
good-by and hurried over to the hedge.
Now we're ready for real hunt" he
exclaimed heartily, "and / mean to find
that Mr.. Spider person before stop"
Mr.. Snail couldn't help laughing nj
such energy, but he added that he would
be glad enough to have that same spider
person found! And so Tommy went
a-hunting.
He called FIRST, ''Mr. Spider, do come
out OF hidingl There's somebody here
who won't eat you up-somebody who
wants to see your No answer. ''WeII.
evidently will have to hunt him" said
Tommy with shake of his head. He
don't seem to want to come out of his
own accord" So Tommy hunted
