New York, April 6.-The pitching OF
Theodore Roosevelt's hat into the ring
this time with a broad band of red
white and blue on it, caused mo-
mentous flutter in the hearts of poll
ticians today. That something like
this was sure to follow the meeting
of Mr.. Root, Senator Lodge, Gen. Wood
and the Colonel at the home of Robert
Bacon last week. was a foregone con-
clusion, and the chief question in the
minds of those most interested is why
it came so quickly.
Political observers had but one ex-
PLANTATION to offer for this feature OF
the situation today. and that was that
the wrong Interpretation had been put

Adherents of Senator Root-and there

diately jumped to the conclusion that
the fondest of their hopes was to be
realized, that Col Roosevelt was to
get behind his former Secretary OF
State, and pull in his Progressive
party with him. Adherents of Justice
Hughes-and they are legion. to all
appearances-immed jumped to
the conclusion that the Colonel and
Mr.. Root had met to discuss the best
way of making Mr.. Hughes the candi-
date of both parties.
In the circumstances, Col. Roosevelt,

The hens and the geese and tur-

racket, for the tussle Mr.. Fox had
to get out awakened them.
"Oh, there is time enough" said
Old Reddy. "The dog is tied and
the farmer can't dress in a minute;
but of course, we don't want to
linger."
II thought you said they were
coming" said Mr.. Fox, looking
around and at the same time look

he was tricked again by him.
Old Reddy did not answer until
they were safe out of the barnyard
and down the road a way. Then
he said, 81 did say the dog was
coming and the farmer with his

much he appreciated It he would
forgive Old Reddy for taking his
supper a few nights before.

Hollyhocks Make
Good Playthinss

Hollyhocks are always useful
playthings, as your grandmother can
tell you. especially for making dolls.
Take a flower that has just opened,
and pinch it off close to the stalk
so that the flower has it's little
green stem still on; and then take a
bud and pinch it's stem clear off
so that you can make a little hole
in it, and stick the little stem of
the flower into the hole Of the bud,
and there is the sweetest little doll
in a soft, silky dress, trimmed with
green scallops that you ever had.
And the nice part of it is that you
don't have to sew for her bit, and
every doll can have different col
ored dress.
And another thing you can make
out hollyhocks' is a little candle.
Take flower that is almost ready
to wither and break off it's petals
down at the white part, leaving that
little yellow stalk with round,
nobby top, and several of these look
as cute as anything on a dolls tea
table.

that he was exposing himself to
great danger, but the thought OF
Sun Bird gave him courage.
At dawn White Otter concealed
his pony in a clump of cottonwoods
and crawled cautiously to a rise of
ground to reconnoiter Halfway
between him and ridge of foothills
to the west was line of willows
marking a watercourse. His heart
bounded at sight of them, for he felt
sure that the Crow village was
somewhere along that stream. Then
he discovered thin column of
smoke rising above the tree tops,
and a moment later he saw the
lodges.
The lad spent the day watching
the Crow camp. He saw several
companies of horsemen ride away
toward the foothills, and he be-
lieved that they were hunters. At
sunset they returned, and White
Otter was much relieved when they
drove the ponies out upon the
plain 1t filled him with hope, for
he believed that these people were
unaware of his escape. Had they
been warned, he felt sure they
would have kept the horses under
strong guard near the camp. The
Sioux's eyes flashed as he realized
the ease with which he could lead
away one or more Crow ponies un-
der cover of night
White Otter's first task, how
ever, was to learn whether Sun
Bird was in the camp. AS soon as
it was dark, therefore, he left the
piebald in the timber and set out
for the village. When he reached
the willows he followed the stream
until he saw the glow from the
camp fires. Then he stopped TO
listen. All was still. The lad turn
ed his face toward the heavens and
asked aid from the Great Mystery.
Then he continued toward the
camp. He had not gone far before
he saw the dim outlines of a lodge
looming up a short distance ahead
of him. His heart beat wildly, for
he realized that he was almost at
the edge of the village. He heard
voices and the crackle of fires, and
for a momnt he hesitated. Then the
desire to know Sun Birds fate
drove him on. Sinking TO his hands
and knees, he Crawled to a patch of

MR.. FOX AND OLD REDDY
MEET AGAIN.

One night Mr.. Fox went over the
hill to the farm, thinking all the
time about how Old Reddy Fox
had tricked him and hoping he
would meet him.
Mr.. Fox walked cautiously around
the barn until he came to the lien
house, and then he began to smile.
Nov that is nice" said Mr.. Fox.
"A board leading right up to the
window of the henhOuse. | won
der how the farmer could have been
so careless and so accommodating,
too"
There were all the hens and
chickens asleep, and Mr.. Fox could
see goose that just suited him,
and turkey also.
II never had anything so easy as
this" he said. "All l have to do is
jump through the open window and
help myself
With all Mr. Fox's cleverness he
did not think about getting out, so
he jumped through the window and
landed very softly on the floor, but
when he tried to go to the roost
where the sleeping hens and chick
ems were he was surprised to find
he was on the other side of wire
partition which there was no way
to get over or through.
Then Mr.. Fox began to think, and
when he did he looked up at the
window through which he had
jumped, and found it was altogeth-
er too high for him to reach, and
there nothing on which he could
climb. He was trapped and there
was no mistake about it this time.
Mr.. Fox began to think of home
and Mrs. Fox waiting, and he would
never come, and he grew very sad,
SO sad and unhappy that he even
forgave Old Reddy Fox for the
trick he played on him few nights
before
Something moved above his head
and Mr.. Fox jumped and looked up
at the window, and there looking

riorS sitting about a large fire in
the center of the village, and his
eyes were quick to distinguish
Spotted Dog, the Crow chief. The
latter was talking quietly with an
old man at his left. A short dis
lance away two old women were
broiling meat over the glowing en-
bers of a cooking fire. Between the
fires company of boys were prac-
the art of making moccasins. 1t
was a peaceful scene, and the lad
saw nothing to suggest that the
camp contained a captive. If he
have entirely dismissed him from
their minds. White Otter had ex-
pected to see them gatherd in
council He had even feared that
he might find them dancing the war
dance around his friend. The lad
was perplexed. and his perplexity
made him suspicious. Had they al
ready decided the captive's fate?
White Otter weakened at the
thought. Then he grasped at a
shred of hope. Pehaps Sun Bird
had escaped! The possibility cleo
trified him. He prayed that it
might be true.
A few minutes later, however,
Sun Bird appeared. He walked
slowly forward in the company of
two staiwart guards and seated
himself among the warriors about
the fire. Except for his dress, one
might have taken him for member
of the tribe, for there was nothing
to suggest that he was a captive.
White Otter stared at him in
amazement. He could scarcely be-
lieve his eyes. For one brief mo-
ment sickening doubt entered his
heart. Had Sun Bird pledged ale
glance to the Crows? White Otter
recalled the offer which the chief
had made to them at the pass, an
he wondered whether Sun Bird had
accepted it to save his life. He
weakened at the thought. The next
instant he banished it from his
mind. His confidence in Sun Bird
loyalty was too strong to be shaken
by such an unjust suspicion, and
he was ashamed Of himself White
Otter was convinced that, whatever
was the reason for Sun Birds ap-
