Don't thank me but please allow me
to take you home in taxicab. The
street car crowds at this hour will
crush your injured wrist" i
A few moments later they were in a
taxicab and being whirled along to-
ward Lettie's lodging. a.. -&.0
Suppose we look at our cards now"
Lettie became suddenly piquant. Then
we can say goodby in quite conven-
tional way .-~ .. 3d..
Wont you let me guess your name
before I look?" asked the man.
ooh, yes; that will be funny, TOR
you'll never guess right"
SIS it Betty, alias Elizabeth?'
Mercy, no, It's even worse"
Miss Lettie Pembroke Norton
read the man impressively. What a
4, big name for small girl"
Never mind, sri; now shall see
how big a name you have!' She drew
his card from her purse, cleared her
throat affectedly, and turned her head
critically to one side, but when she
pronounced the name, it was an ex-
clamation John Wood Thompson.
Oh-h-h. Not really the author Of
| Greed and Grind'?' She looked
straight into his eyes as she asked
J for this confirmation Of her discovery,
and the man nodded aff1rmatively.
How perfectly splendid! Why, tbs
you who have achieved such wonder
full things to help people!" 81. -.
| John was thinking that one thing
more must be achieved to help himself
before the world would be right again,
j., but he feared it was much too soon
| to mention it. Just then the taxicab
stopped at Lettie's number and the
conventional goodby had to be said,
but their acquaintance continued after
ward and eliminated in what John
termed his really great achievement
"the winning of wonderful wife,"

gily ate his lunch of lettuce sand
witches, with carrot butter on them,
and gnawed on a bit of potato. Just
as he was almost through, he heard a
rustling In the bushes and voice ex.
claimed:
"Oh, dear"
| why, what's the matter?" asked
Uncle Wiggily,. thinking perhaps an
adventure was going to happen to him.
Who are you
ooh, dear!" exclaimed the voice
again.
Then before the old rabbit could
jump up and run away, even If he had
wanted to, out from under a big bush
came a little white poodle dog. with
curly, silky hair. He walked right up
to Uncle Wiggily, that dog did, and
the rabbit wasn't bit afraid, for the
dog wasn't much bigger than he was,
and looked very, kind.
What do you want, doggie gently
asked Uncle Wiggily.
The dog didn't answer, but he gave
a little short bark, and then he began
turning somesaults Over and over
he went, sometimes backward and
sometimes frontward and sometimes
sideways. And when he was finished
he made a low bow. and walked
around on his two hind legs, just to
show he wasn't proud or stuck up.
There" exclaimed the poodle dog.
gle. Is that worth something to eat
Mr.. Rabbit?'
Indeed it u.s." answered Uncle Wig
gily, but I would have given you
something to eat without you doing
all those tricks, though enjoyed them
very much. Where did you learn to
do them?" ..
| "Oh in the circus where I used to
be, always had to do tricks for my
dinner" said the doggie. r.. ...
! What is your name?" asked Uncle
I Wiggily. ....
[ "Fido Flip-F1op,' was the answer
you see they call me that because
turn so many fip-fops," and then
Uncle Wiggily gave him some lunch
and told the dog about how he, himself
! was travelling all over in search of his
fortune.
"Why, that's just what I'm doing
too," exclaimed Fido Flip-fop. Sup
pose We travel together? and maybe
we'll each find fortune"
That's just what We'll do" agreed
Uncle Wiggily.
And then, all of a sudden, before
you could open your eyes and shut
them again, two savage foxes Jumped
! out from behind big stump.
! you grab the dog and I'll grab the
rabbit" called the biggest fox. and
right at Uncle Wiggily and Fido they
sprang, crashing their teeth.
But don't worry. I'll find way to
save them, and if the canary bird
doesn't take my lead pencil and stick
1t In his seed dish I'll tell you in the
following story about Uncle Wiggily
doing some tricks.

A discovery that is expected to
prove Of great value to onion grow
ers and to agriculturists in general is
thought to have been made at the G.
w. Schwartz gardens south of the
city. Mr.. Schwartz has found in his
onion patch species of carnivorous
bug which has attacked and complete.
~ destroyed the army of onion mag.
gots which threatened to greatly les.
sen the yield OF onions, The state en-.
tomologist has been provided with
specimens and he is at work seeking
to identify the bug. Present belief is
that it will be propagated and spread
through the onion districts OF the
state. 4. g.. .
|. The discovery of the bug was en-.
tirely accidental, says Mr.. Schwartz.
Last year the. onion maggot ruined
about 40 per cent of the crop at the
Schwartz gardens and at other places
as well. This year Mr. Schwartz
greatly reduced the space devoted to
onions, believing that the maggot
would again ravage his field At the
time he fertilized the field Mr..
Schwartz noticed a strange bug in the
tankage,~ but thought nothing more OF
thousands of the strange little insects
in the onion patch, but it was not I'm.
til he began an examination to see
what damage the maggots had done
that the presence of the new bug had
any significance. ,..ls
The onion maggots were conspicu.
GUS by their absence. Further investi-
cation revealed the fact that the new
bugs were carnivorous and that they
had burrowed all through the onion
patch hunting out the larvae Of the
maggots and eating them. Numerous
places were found where the bugs had
made four or five tunnels clear under
an onion. right down to the roots, In
search Of the larvae which feed on the
roots In their early stages. Only four
teen onion bulbs in a fifth of an acre
patch were ruined by maggots. Three
tons of high grade onions were har
vested. - +. ..-1. tF.'
Mr.. Schwartz Is very much elated
over his find and expects the bug to
prove of great service to onion grow
ers. He is anxiously awaiting the re
port Of the state entomologist.
Several specimens Of the bug are on
exhibit in cage in the window at
The Courier Office. That they are truly
carnivorous Is shown by the fact that
they are living on the flesh of little
ground puppy species of lizard
much priced in gardens becane OF
their insectivorous habits. IT,

anything to make my name known

your name!" Lettie looked at the
man so piquantly that he felt he might
not be responsible for some things he
might do If she looked at him IN that
way often.
"And I, too. have felt you are quite
different from the other people in those
crowds where I've seen you SO often,
he said. '7s,s'

HAVE YOU a tendency towards rheu-
matism? Is your skin rather coarse
in texture, blotchy in color, does 1t
flush and spot after eating rich
foods, or after drinking something
rather rich and sweet? If 80, you
will find that q course Of meatles1
diet for about three or four weeks,
or until quite cool weather comes.
will be the best treatment you can
give yourself.
Dieticians have proved that the
great per cent. of water In meat 10
not pure nourishing water, but urea,
sort of uric acid. The degree of this
varies according to the kind of meat,
and the freshness and the age Of the
animal before it was killed. And, of
course, the daily absorption of this
acid into the system will combine
with the natural uric acids of your
own body, and the result will be
rheumatism, odorous perspiration,
sweaty feet, blotchy skin.
Try q diet somewhat like this:
Eggs for the morning meal, or eggs
and little crisp bacon. Salads or
nut food for luncheon-nut foods
come ready prepared in cans, and can
be made up in hundreds of delicious
ways. Chicken for dinner-this con.
tains practically no uric acid; chick.
EN- or any sort Of fowl should. be
the only allowable meat In q, diet
like this. II not chicken, substi-
tute plenty Of nuts and raisins and
olive oil in salad dressing form.
Nuts and raisins contain practically
all the fat and mineral elements
Of meat, in condensed form. And.
in addition to a diet practically with.
out meat, drink all the water pos
sible. Eat grapefruit or other
acidulous fruits rather sparingly.
If you eat meat habitually, once
or twice every day, this meatless diet
would be an excellent thing to take
up for a month out Of every year,
preferably the hottest month.
