As she ran swiftly down across
the Green Meadows toward the
home OF Digger the Badger there
was a sparkle in the eyes of Granny
Fox. Behind her. his great voice
startling all the little people near
and causing them 10 hurry 10 places
where they would be safe and at the
same time could see what was going
on. ran Bowser the Hound. and II
you could tell anything by looks It
was very plain that Bowser had
made up his mind that this time he
would catch Granny. But then
Bowser always does make up his
mind Just like that whenever he
starts TO hunt Old Granny Fox. The
fact that he never has caught her
doesn't bother him at all. II seems
10 simply make him the more sure
each time that this time he will be
successful.
In cool weather Granny rather en-
joys these runs. She hasn't the
least fear OF Bowser, because she
has such faith In her own nimble
wits that she knows that whenever
she gets tired she can play a trick
on him and fool him so that he will
lose her tracks. In warm weather
she does not, as a rule, enjoy a run
ahead of Bowser. but this time she
was enjoying 1t. which accounted
for the sparkle in her eeys. In fact,
she was chuckling as she ran.
She took pains not to get very
far ahead of Boz er. She kept only
a very little VI ahead, so that she
was right bef8e his eyes all the
time and he didn't have to waste any
time picking out her trail with his
wonderful nose. You see, Granny
wanted him to run his very fastest.
She wanted Bowser TO get down to
the home OF Digger the Badger be-
fore Digger. who was out hunting,
could get back there. II was a very
simple and a very clever plan OF
Grannys. She would lead Bowser

a teacher IN a business college
held an informal talk for young
women lately which was priyi-
legged 10 attend. She had good
deal TO say about business training
and efficiency. and the sort Of quail
ties that make for or against sue
cess And at the end she came out
strongly as disappearing the sort
Of young woman who takes advant-
age OF her sex in order TO slur her
work.
There are many girls who play
upon their sex in order TO skimp
their work" she said. This Is an
unfair thing TO do, and II harms us
all Many employers get to think
that they must not expect work or
as high a grade from a woman as
from a man, because they have had
so much experience in the kind OF
woman who lays back on her job
and expects 10 he excused for 1t
simply because she is a woman.
In the mere matter OF prompt
ness a great many girls presume
on their sex. A young man who
was late more than once or twice a
month, would be pretty sure 10 get
a calling down. and sharp one. but
a girl will continue week after week
10 be from 10 minutes to half-hour
late. and expect to get of with no
more than an impatient wish on the
part Of her employer that she could
manage TO get here on time.
at is just because of these wom-
on that women as a whole cannot
command the same prices for work
done as men. They aren't worth IT.
And those that are. and who do
their work as we'll as a man does
his, and with no notion OF presum-
ing on their sex as An escape from
faults or laXities. are handicapped
by the poor impression many en-
ployers have received from girls in
their employ"
don't want you TO think that this
speaker didn't have a lot of nice
things 10 say, and that she wasn't
proud Of what women are doing
But there is this element 10 be con.
sidered in planning for improved
conditions all along the line, and
It is in the hands OF every one OF
you girls who work at a paying job

I'VE will make the parents get
nervous for fear the boy will marry
tho girl" I continued, as Pat and
Alice leaned forward to hear every
word of my story. We will let the
father say, I'll double your allow
ance so that you can care for her
properly, IL you will promise not 10
marry her The boy will answer, /
shall marry her the moment l am
21. which will be in about month.
Then the father gets busy Az
ter sending the boy west for month
and obtaining a promise from him
that he will not write TO the girl. he
has her arrested for obtaining goods
under false pretenses. He shows the
hills for the furnishings OF the apart
nent to bolster up his case.
The girl confesses she bought the
goods and says the boy told her 10
do 80.
THE father makes his case-in
the absence OF the boy--and the girl
10 sent TO the house OF correction,
and afterward paroled 70 a splendid
woman who believes In her.
"of course. all her love for the boy
vanishes when she fnds that she has
been left TO bear this awful disgrace
alone, but she picks up her LIES
threads bravely and goes 10 work
that she may forget.
Time goes on and a good man
falls In love with her and asks her
to marry him.
THAT is as far as have gone,
Pat" I said after a little hesitation.
81 don't know whether to make her
tell the man before she answers him
or not. You see. her disgrace In the
courtroom was more or less public,
and n she does not tell him some
day some one might recognize her.
do you mean to tell me that, &C
cording 10 your ideas OF what a
woman should do under these cir
cumstances. you have for a moment
harbored the thought that she should
not tell him7" asked Pat harshly.

her hands 10 her mouth to keep back

Nov. Pat, what do you mean by
that? I want 10 make II completely

When he saw Digger he would for.

fight Digger. Perhaps he would
kill Digger. II he did she wouldn't

their anger, hard stung her. she had
fairly hated him.
AS Bowser's great voice rolled
down across the Green Meadows
she saw Digger sit up that he might
better see what was going on. Their
he dropped down and started TO rur
towards his home. Granny almost
laughed aloud for she saw that she
and Bowser would get there Ions
before Digger did. You know hi'

that he couldn't possibly reach hi

when he Is caught too far from
home TO get back there safely.
Granny Fox knows all about THU
trick OF Digger's. She turned VI
her nose as she saw him flatter
down in the grass. II wonder IL h,

she muttered. scornfully. "He ma!

has made a dreadful mistake. In q
few minutes he Is going TO get the

Bowser the Hound gets through
with him there won't be much OF

Granny ran straight to Digger'B
home. so that Bowser, following
her, would be directly between Dig
ger and his house. Then she turn
ed and headed straight for where
Digger was trying to datten him
self out OF sight In the grass. She
had let Bowser get almost at her
heels. Blacky the Grow had heard
the noise and now came hurrying
up. Because he was overhead and
SO looking down he saw Digger
right away. When he saw that
Granny Fox was headed straight
for Digger with Bowser at her heels
he guessed at once what she was
up to.
"In about a minute something's
going to happen" he chuckled, his
eyes shining with excitement. II
