mother Here, the taxi is waiting"
What do you mean by the blowout %
asked his mother as she leaned back
against the cushions and patted Tom S
hand, smiling into his face.
Didn't you get my letter asking you
to come down to the giant house,
warming" asked Tom, gazing at his
mother in surprise.
"Oh, is that what you mean? 1
got the letter all right, but your
father was not willing that / should
come. He is frankly scandalized with
your flame as he calls it. / tried to
stand up for you, but"
Don't you worry" Toms face
flushed to the roots of his hair.
Father would object to anything I
did. We never could see things
through the same glasses"
ut isn't that. 1t is because he is
so conservative and businesslilSe, and
he looks upon your putting on style
on nothing a year as decidedly dis
honest"
DISHONEST"
Yes; he says any one of hundred
things may happen to prevent you
from getting any money, and in that
case your creditors would lose. for
you have nothing to pay with" The
mothers voice sounded anxious.
What could happen? Father has
got on your nerves, and now you are
worrying. Toms voice had the
cheerful expansveness of one who
heartens himself vainly.
No, really, Tom, | have begun to
worry on my own account. Why do
you suppose we hear nothing more
about the fortune? Here it is six weeks

WILLY WOOD-RAT

BACK A LITTLE from the creek where
MIR Cater lived and spent his days,
and plainly to be seen from the tree
where Miss Chameleon lived, was an
other pile that looked for all the
world like a pile of rubbish. Neat
and round it was, though-perhaps
too tidy appearing for rubbish pile!
But 1t wasn't a rubbish pile
dear me. no,
1t was the home of Willy Wood
rat.
You don't know Willy Wood
rat? Then listen, and III introduce
you to him.
Willy WoOd-rat Is the most beauti-
full and stylish member of the rat
family, and very pleasant creature
to know. He wears a soft, silky
brownish gray coat and a vest of
pure white. He has dainty white
mittens made of soft fur that he
pulls over his four little feet-do you
wonder that he has the reputation of
be the dandy of the rat family?
~ will be glad to know that
Willy, with all his fine clothes. is
also good and kind, Flnery does not
turn his head-not one bit. He Is
quite the kindest and gentlest of all
the rat family, and that's more i'm
portant than being we'll dressed, isn't
it? They say that kindness makes
one better looking, and surely they
must be right. For Willy Wood-rat
has none Of that sly, mean look In his
face that makes us SO afraid of most
members of the rat family. He has
a nice, good. kind look that just fits
with his manners and his pretty
clothes.
But what has this nice Willy
Wood-rat to do with a rubbish pile,
you ask?
He lives in it.
But he wouldn't call it a rubbish
pile, for Il is his nest, and he and
Mrs. Wood-rat work very hard to
make 1t just as fine az ever nest
can be. 1t takes nights and nights
Of hard work to make that pile. Do

When all that is done. they shape
the nest and lay every twig and bit
OF grass just so, for the Wood-rats
are as particular about their nests as
they are about their clothes.
Last of all, they line the nest with
a soft. downy lining of feathers or
the covering of weed seeds till it is
as fine and soft as birds nest. And
there they raise their little family.
You would never guess from. the
look OF the outside that the inside of
that rubbish was SO soft and beauti-
fully madei Don't you think Willy
Wood-rat a nice little fellow to
know? And some day you shall hear
more about him.
