What Sammy Jay Saw.

Sammy Jay, hiding in a bush where
he could see the doorway of the new
home in the Old Pasture, saw Reddy
Fox place on his doorstep the result of
his hunt and then heard him bark
softly. Almost at once Mrs. Reddy ap-
peared and took what Reddy had
brought. She disappeared inside the
new house and Reddy turned and trot-
ted off in the direction of the Green
Meadows. 1t was clear TO Sammy that
Reddy was going hunting again. Hard
ly was Reddy out of sight than Mrs.
Reddy appeared once more, stood for a
moment on her doorstep as If trying to
decide something. and then started off
swiftly toward the Green Forest.
All this time Sammy Jay sat perfectly
still His eyes snapped and twinkled
and his busy brain turned over and
over the surprising things he had found
out and tried to decide how he could
make use of his knowledge. You know,
there is an old saying that two and
two will always make four. This is
just a queer way of saying that If you
are smart enough to put two facts to-
gether you may be reasonably sure that
they will make third fact. That is
what Sammy Jay was doing as he sat
there in that bush near the new home
of Reddy Fox.
sammy Jay" said he. talking to him
self while he waited for Reddy or Mrs.
Reddv to return, you're smart fell
low You're a very clever chap. You've
found out something that m sure not
one OF your neighbors knows. You've
found the new house of Reddy Fox
You've found out that Reddy doesn't
eat all he catches. but brings some
home and gives to Mrs Reddy. You've
found out that Mrs. Reddy takes the
food down inside the house and almost
right away goes hunting herself.
Now two and two is always four,
Never less and more.
Never and never less
That's fact and not guess.
"Now / can't see down inside that
house. but | don't have TO know what
the secret is that is causing all this
hunting on the part of Reddy and Mrs
Reddy. Babies, Just as sure as I'm a
smart and clever Jaybird there are
baby Foxes down there. Ny gracious

bies / can't imagine it -Ie must feel

A Kind of Shawl.

The blouse of last autumn, however,
was only an accessory to another cos
tune The bodice of today, with its
fronts that form a sash that ties con-
spfcuously in the back to form kind
of hustle. is a part and parcel of a
frock. 1t belongs to the skirt and is
attached to 1t. The sketch shows
gown that is good enough to be copied
in every detail. 1t is built up of a com
hination of dark blue taffeta and Whl.e
chiffon. The latter is not exceedingly
sheer. such as one chooses for an even
ing gown, but sufficiently thick TO make
a satisfactory combination with an
OPAQUE fabric. like taffeta.
This chiffon makes the round fitted
slim under the blouse of taffeta, and 1t
serves to hold the sleeves, which grow
larger as they drop downward to the
end in tight cuffs; it also forms the
pleated yoke at the top of the skirt.
Below this yoke there is a slim. mar
row skirt. untrimmed, OF the olue sur

loose bodice of blue silk, crossed sur

A Difficult Neck Line.
It is in the manipulation Of this neck
line that the amateur usually comes
cropper. 1t is exceedingly difficult to
manage; even the really competent
dressmakers do not always find 1t easy.
1t is a well beloved trick of the French
designers and they have INDUCED In IT
constantly since it's last revival. about
five years ago If the American woman
finds it too complicated to achieve and
is not sure she will like it, even were 1t
well done, then she can devise oecoi-
lete of her own liking.
The main points about this frock-
and many others like it-are the long.
loose sleeves coming from an under
slip and the sash which is part OF the
bodice.

So Sammy sat and waited and watched
and planned mischief and wished those
babies would come out so that he could
know how many Reddy had Mrs.
Reddy was the first to return. She came
so silently that sharp as Sammys eyes

Finally the gang was rounded up and
the leaders were captured and placed
in jail.
1t was in the town Of Chelsea that
the rufians nearly got Johnson. He
had entered the "joint" of a man
named Edmondson with Deputy Lowe,
but, as the crowd was very threaten
ing in its demeanor, he left Lowe out
side to hold the door, and went into
the barroom alone, in his customary
manner. He smashed the liquor and
the fixtures, and was about to leave
when the mob brushed Lowe aside
and surged into the place, surround
ing Johnson, led by a bad man"
named Dyce, of enormous build and
muscularity. Dyce thrust his fist
into Johnson's face, discoloring his
eye. Johnson knocked Dyce down
twice, and Dyce concluded that he
had had enough. Beer glasses and bill
lizard cues began to fly around John
sons bald head, and revolvers were
drawn. in another moment Johnson
would have been put out Of exist
ence. But snatching up one Of the
billiard cues, he laid about him with
force, cracking half a dozen heads
and clearing a little space about him.
At this juncture Lowe managed to
effect an entrance and knocked up a
revolver which was thrust into John
sons face, in the nick of time. A min
ute later Johnson, with his billiard
cue, was driving the flock Of rowdies
like sheep before him. Within an

spirators resolved to get the pair to-
gether. 1t was now the invariable
practise of Johnsons deputies never
to go abroad except in twos and
threes, but in spite of his chiefs
warning, Bowman, who was a man of
exceptional courage, courted death
alone on several occasions. Four boot
leggers constantly dogged him, hoping
to catch him and the elusive Pussy
foot together and do them up"
Bowman was shot at on three occa-
sions, but he seemed to bear a
charmed life, and escaped without a
scratch.
On the fourth occasion the conspir-
ators laid their plans more success
fully. At dusk one evening Bowman
was riding toward his home near
Caney, Kan, after a successful raid.
A report had been spread that the
bootleggers who we're dogging him
had left the district, and Bowman was
off his guard in consequence. Sudden
ly a couple of shots rang out. Bow
man was unframed, but his horse fell
dead beneath him. Being an old from
tiersman, he took refuge behind the
body of the animal and replied with
his rife, hoping to scare the cowardly
Tufians away. Apparently they were
resolved to get him, however, and
two of the party, moving round among

hail of lead into the spot where Bow
man was lying.
