reflections on them, II you take the
time each day to write some one
thought, some beautiful thought, as
beautifully expressed as you can make

as your face is the outward symbol
OF your mind, It will inevitably beau
tify that. rr.

Countess what?'
Countess of Walsingham. Her
name though, is Margaret, Margaret
Olivia"
Countess looked him over thought
fully from this new angle. He was
slender and rather stopped shouldered
when he sat down in hours of ease.
She tried to find fault with his chin.
If only it had receded ever so little, she
might have excused him, but, as it
was, nothing external gave him away.
He really looked as If he might be the
son of Margaret Olivia, countess Of
Walsingham.
Il blame you more than ever" she
said briefly and trensely. Since you
do happen to be born in this particu-
lar age and in certain class, you owe
it to your times, the spirit of your
times, to stand for the morale of that
class"
Rot" said Ollie, and he opened the
last letter from the Countess. She
was silent as he read it. 1t was rather
quiet even on the street, just the hour
between dining and pleasuring forth
when New York rests and catches it's
breath. Presently he spoke in curl
Gus voice, sort Of baffled voice, as If
fate had handed him foul

Bert"
For minute, Jessica didn't get the
portent of his words, he had spoken
so quietly, but she turned her head
and saw his face, suddenly sharp and
a bit white in the half light
who is he?"
Ollie stoop up.
I'm going back. She wants me to.
My brothers dead
And this is the strange part. AS
he stood there looking down in her
face, suddenly all the little foolish con-
ventionalities of everyday life dropped
from them. There was no thought of
anything they argued or fought over,
ethics and social theories-all were
gone leaving only the man and woman
with the man facing possible death.
You're going over there to fight?"
she asked.
"Of course. Bert died somewhere in

his sides. tits what they've done to

Pretty soon, oh, guess in about {

| heard rustling in the tree over his
head. Then he saw two, big yellow
eyes peering down at him from the
darkness of the woods and voice call
ed out:
What's the matter, little boy? Why
are you so sad?"
"Oh, feel bad because / haven't a
tall answered Buddy wondering who
was speaking.
whats the matter? Did some one
cut your tail OFF," the voice asked.
NO replied Buddy, Il never had
one: but l want one, awfully bad
ooh, don't worry about little thing
like that" went on the voice. 81 can
get fine tail for you
ooh, can you?" cried Buddy, his face
F, lighting up, ''are you fairy?'
well not exactly" was the answer,
"but you Just run along after me, and
I'll get a tail for you in less than no
time
Then there was rustling in the
branches and great big owl, with
ears that looked like horns, flew out,
and Buddy was frightened But the
owl said
a"Oh, don't be alarmed little boy. Just
follow me and I'll see that you get a
tall" .. 49,.
Z So the owl flew along through the
dark, dismal woods. going slowly and
close to the ground so Buddy could fol-
low and pretty soon the owl stopped in
front of a hole in the side of hill
There is where the tail is" said the
owl. Gust wait and I'll have it out to
you in a jiffy and a half" and bless
me, II that owl didn't 60 in that hole
He stayed there some time and Buddy
could hear voices inside, talking and
land sakes, goodness me alive and

a great big bushy tail A tail and moth

ooh, what fine tall" cried Buddy
in delight. F.
do you think so?' asked voice.
Then just grab hold of it, hold tight
and it's yours!"
Well, Buddy didn't think there was
any danger. so he grabbed hold of the
tail and held on tight, but oh, dear me
instead of pulling the tail out, he found
himself being pulled in. Yes, sir, right
into that hole and land knows what
would have happened if Buddys sister,
Brighteyes, hadn't come along JUS;
then on her way home from her aunt's
house. She saw right away that the
bushy tail was fast to something inside
the hole.
THAT'S fox's tail!' she cried, land
he's pulling you into his den! Let go,
quickly! Let go, Buddy"
So Buddy let go just in time, though
the fox and the owl rushed out and
tried to grab him, but they fell down
and couldn't get up in time and he and
his sister ran home. You see 1t was
just trick of that owl and fox. to get
Buddy into the den, and eat him up,
but they didn't, I'm glad to say. And
after that Buddy never wanted tall
Now if it doesn't rain in the dishpan
