So the rabbit gentleman looked
around the corner Of the round pile Of
Ice cream .cones-excuse me, ! NEAR
seaweed-and there he saw poor little
Susie Lttletail, the rabbit girl, and In
front of her, holding her fast by one
claw, was a Gravity crab. Oh, but he
was an unpleasant crustacean, that
crab was!
| Nov for your hair ribbon!" cried
the crab, and, raising his other big
blue claw, that crab pulled Sus1e's hair
ribbon right off her best ears.
"Oh dear!" she cried.
'NoW for those silk stockings!" the
crab went on, chewing on a seaweed
! toothpick, and rafting his shell on a
| stone.
"Oh, please don't! You'll pinch my
legs, know you will" cried the poor
little rabbit GIRL Don't take my
stockings from mel"
Il must" spoke the crab, in hard
boiled egg sort Of voice. II want
them to go to the Goldfish ball party
tonight"
He reached over to pull of Susie's
stockings.
ooh, this is terrible!" thought Uncle
Wiggily. What can I do to save
Susie? If can go out there the crab
will grab me too! What can I do?" d.
He looked down on the sand, but all
he could see was number OF ants
crawling about. But the ants were
friends to Uncle Wiggily. They heard
what the rabbit gentleman said and de-
cided to help him. ...,....-a.
"Quick!" cried the housekeeper ant.
Get large clam she'll, Uncle Wig
gily! Well fill it with hot water for
you. Then you can throw it on the
crab and that will turn him red. And
when crab turns red he never can
pinch anybody any more. Get the
clam she'll"
So from behind the pile Of seaweed
Uncle Wiggily got big shell. Then
the housekeeper ant, and all of her
friends and neigbhors, quickly brought
forty-seven million, eight hundred and
forty-six thousand, nine hundred and
twenty-four pals and half Of hot,
boiling water. The half pail was
brought by little girl ant who loved
Uncle Wiggily.
Quick! Throw the hot water on the
crab, but don't burn Susie!" called the
housekeeper ant. Quick now"
And Uncle Wiggily did as she told
him. Just as the bad crab was going
to pinch Susie's twinkling nose and
take her stockings away, splash went
the hot water over him, and in a min
ute he turned as red as beet, and
then he couldn't ever pinch anybody
any more. And Uncle Wiggily took
Susie's hair ribbon out Of the crabs
claw. and the little rabbit girl cried in
delight:
"Oh, you dear Uncle Wiggily! You
have saved mel" And so he had. and
the hot water never splashed a drop Of
itself on Susie. So she was all right
and that red crab crawled off on the
sand and was much ashamed Of him
self forever after.
Now in the next story, If the front
porch railing doesn't get the toothache
and sit up catching mosquitoes for the
goldfish to put in tin bottle, I'll tell
you about Uncle Wiggily and the

It Is q significant thing that In Bit
tsr anguish and grief Christians find
comfort and peace in prayer. Out.
siders, as we'll as Christians, play in
times Of danger and mental stress.
Dut here is the big difference between
the prayers Of Christians and the
prayers Of "others." Others" pray,
and pray, and pray again, and continue
IT'LL In the agony and passion Of grief

christians pray, and find confidence
and serenity. Sorrow may remain,
but anguish is stilled.

THE MATRoNS STORY
BY Harold Carter

Copyright, 1916, w. G. Chapman.)
The Southport hospital was more
like home than an institution. In
small town, administering to all and
sundry, but nevertheless supported
entirely by private funds, the hos
pital employees formed a sort of close
corporation, or big family, as the
maTOn, Miss Dyer, sometimes eX-
pressed it.
She took maternal interest in the
girls under her charge. Nothing that
went on in the hospital escaped Miss
Dyer's eyes. It was she who stopped
flirtations that were not likely to de-
velOp into anything satisfactory. No
body was quicker to weed out an in
competent, and nobody had more
charity with timidity and inexperi-
ence.
Where she came from was more Of
less of a mystery. The matron was
not communicative She had been
ten years in the hospital and gave en-
tire satisfaction; no more was known
of her.
Edith Lindsey was one of her
wards. She had brought her into
the Southport. She had watched
over her, perhaps with a little favor
itism, but that was inevitable with
Miss Dyer. She could not like any
one without liking that person over
much. But she had no enemies.
She had watched the growing init
macy between Miss Lindsay and DR..
Ralph, the house surgeon. Many
doctors marry nurses, and in a place
like Southport such attachments are
certain to spring up. She admired
Ralph and knew that he. would go
far. Then DR.. Mark Ewing was ap-

there were vague stories that fitted
here and there, never definite, never
tangible, but, in their entirety, not to
be disregarded.
And Edith Lindsay was infatuated
with this man of 40, who was I'M
married and drove her in his car, and
met her out of hours. The hospital
tongues wagged about it.

had made up her mind. She sent for
