Wants to Keep Gifts.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am eighteen and have been
keeping company with a man about
four years my senior. He gave me
a diamond lavaliere and a bracelet
studded with diamonds and several
other nice presents. He was drafted
and sent TO camp. and while he was
there I fell in love with another.
My soldier boy came back on fur
Tough. and called at my house. but
] refused to see him.
Now. should I give the soldier
his presents back or should I keep
them3 i. T..
But. my dear girl. have you never
realised that you lack hearty
You must by all means return the
soldiers presents to him. And don't
you think you ought at least to
lave seen him, when he came to
your house. II only to tell him that
you had found you did not love
him? II must be that you are not
old enough yet TO hRNe come to an
understanding OF what love means.

PUSS IN BOOTS
JUNIOR

BY David Cory.

you remember in the last story
" that little Puss Junior was
travelling with the man and
his trained bear, and that
they had come TO a little village
Just as school was out and the man
had made his bear dance, which had
delighted the children
NOW. what can the eat on horse
back do?" shouted a boy. who was
looking at Puss on his Good Gray
Horse, and I guess that boy wish
ed ne had q pair of red-top boots
and a horse like Puss Juniors, let
me tell you.
What tricks can you do!" wills
pered Puss in his horses ear.
Leave that to me, little Master"
answered the faithful animal. but
see that you don't slip of my back"
And then the Good Gray Horse
began to prance, and first he stood
up on his hind legs. and then on
his front legs. and then he whirled
around and around till his tail stood
out straight and knocked OF q lit

she was so excited that she never
knew il until everything was all
over.
Now Bruno" said the man.

MES you can" So the bear took on
his funny red cap and passed II
around. and all the little girls and
boys dropped their pennies in II.
and when the teacher came out, he
put In a dollar bill.
Well, after that Puss and the
man started of for the next vii
lage. but when they got there, IL
was nearly shutdown.
So they made a little camp in
the wood near by, and the man made
. fire out OF dry pieces OF wood and
boiled some water In a little tin
saucepan, and after that he got
supper ready. The Good Gray
Horse stood nearby eating the nice
tender grass and the bear ate some
honey and nuts which the man gave
him
And then. by and by. PUss felt
sleepy. and when he heard the

song, he fell fast asleep.

Mildred Is Saved From An Embarrassing Situation After
Tom Chambers Wild Driving Ends in Wreck.

"T'n wait here till he comes"
Tom rejoined, ''in spite"-with an
unnatural laugh-"of your urgent
invitation TO me to ride back with
you"
Goodnight. Tom MiIIy called
shrilly as Arthur started his car.
II am sorry that we"
But Honora silenced her before
she could finish her sentence.
None OF the party spoke again
until after Arthur had stopped at a
garage and ordered a repair man
to go back to where Tom waited.
Then, as they drove on. Milly de-
clared herself
81 think it's horrid of you,
Honora," she said hotly. ito make
me go off and leave Tom like this
just because he had an accident"
Il had to, dear" Honora tried
to soothe the agitsted girl. when
you are less excited you will see
for yourself that 1 am right"
mo, ] won't!' Anlly burst forth.
There was nothing wrong in my
driving with Tom-any more than
there is in your being here alone
with Arthur. Accidents might hap
pen to anybody. 1t was not Toms
fault"
She Defends Hin.
Honora- on the back seat with
her sister, replied in a low voice,
but Mildred retorted loudly:
II don't care IL he had been drink
ing! It was only two or three high
balls, anyway. He was not q bit
drunk"
The older girl laid q silencing
hand on her companions arm. "Be
quiet" she murmured. with

who during the conversation, had
remained dumb.
By the moonlight Honora could
see that his face was white and set
and when Mildred spoke OF Toms
having had some highbslls. he
started as II to say something. then
closed his lips in the thin line that
the observer knew meant a rigid
effort at self-control.
Mildred. disregarding the warn
ing gesture. shrugged her should
ers.
Il don't care" she repeated.
Toms not to bIame"'
Then. her Indignation subsiding
suddenly, she sank back into the
corner OF the seat and began to cry
softly.
Once a smothered sob escaped
her. At the sound, Arthur glanced
over his shoulder, then looked
straight ahead.
Il will get you home as soon as
can, Mildred" he said gently. II
know you need rest and quiet"
That was all. Not a word OF
blame for her. Honora reflected bit
terly. She wondered what this sill
ent man was thinking.
After a while she tried to lessen
the strain of the situation by speak,
ing OF the beauty OF the night and
by commenting on certain land
marks they passed.
But to her efforts at converse
ton Arthur replied in polite but
frigid monosyllables.
And all the while Mildred cried
softly in the corner OF the back
seat.

Al the children all dreaming away.
They feel sure that I from my

Well. when morning came, the

He just lay still on his bed OF dry
leaves. and wouldn't even let his
mester comb his hair. So Puas

A T the sound of the motor
~ horn, Honora started nerv-
"A ously. 1t was one of the So
called "siren" variety and
she had heard it once before this
evening.
Turning in her seat, she leaned
out and gazed into the glare of
pair OF headlights coming straight
toward her.
what could the driver be think
ing of? He must surely see Arthur's
red tsII-light glowing in the dark
ness. He must also see by the
light Of his own lamps that car
was directly in front OF his.
Again the siren-notes sounded
and Arthur swung his car almost
out Of the road to avoid being
struck as the other automobile came
abreast Of his.
"Infernal idiot" he exclaimed
Erathfully.
His voice was drowned in the
roar OF the car that lurched past,
skidded, almost overturned. and,
Fighting itself. shot away around a
curve ahead.
"ohr Honora started as IL 20
seize his arm, then, recollecting
herself, -refrained. They will have
an awful aecidsnt!" she gasped.
THAT was Chambers carl"
Arthur exploded. tom is prob
ably drunk and driving straight to
the devil-or the hospital. Why
what's the matterg' For his COM
penion had given vent to a low
moan.
Hurry" she begged. Hurry
around that bend there. am sure
something dreadful has happened.
There-iook"
As they rounded the curve they
saw by the clear moonlight that the
runabout that had passed them at
such a furious rate had plunged,
head first, down an embankmept
1T the side Of the road. Thirty
seconds later the Bruce car had
reached the spot and Arthur sprang
out
Quick as he was. Honora was on
the ground as soon as he, and, to
his a1nazement, was holding out her
arms to q figure that was climbing
up from the shallow ditch.
Mildred Escapes.
s1Iillyi Killy!" she murmured-
THANK God you are safe!"
At the same moment Tom Chand-
Ter cIambered up from the other
side OF the automobile.
Lord, that was a Gloss Rhave!"
he declared unsteadily. why,
hello, peopIeI Where did you drop
from. Milly, are you hurt, my
dear?"
Mo-" Mildred giggled hys-
tericaIly, her teeth chattering. "oh,
here come some people! wish
they wouldn't"
A car full OF men was approach
ing, and the driver slowed up as he
saw there had been an accident
Listen, Molly" Honora COM
handed quickly. you were not
with Tom Chandler. You drove out
here with Arthur and me-and we
stopped to see II Tom was hurt

tured. you are a cool one!"
'She's right" Arthur broke in
incisively. Then, more loudly, as
the new arrivals drew up along
side. Come on, ladiesi We may
as well get back into our car now
that we know that Chandler him
self.is all right Tom. I'll stop at

OF
THE FAMOUS

A band OF Apache Indians were
once induced to go back to their
reservation by the gift OF a doll to
a papoose. The incident was as
follows:
General CrcJk had been trying to
put these Apaehes back on the re-
serve. but could not catch them
without killing them-an action
that did not appeal to him. One
day his forces captured a papoose
and took her to the fort. She was
quiet all day: but her black eyes
watched everything. When night
came the child broke down and
sobbed.
The fort was in despair. until
Major Burke. the generals aide
de-kamp, borrowed from the ad-
jutant's wife a doll that had been
sent to her little girl the previous
Christmas. When the young Apache
understood that 1t was hers to keep
her sobs ceased and she fell asleep.
When morning came the doll was
still clasped tightly in her arms.
She played with it all day, and
seemingly had given up all thought
OF ever getting back to the tribe.
Several days passed with no sign
being made by the tribe, and finally
in despair the papoose, with the
doll still in her possession. was sent
back. When the child reached the
tribe with the prize grasped in her
chubby hands 1t created a sensation
among the Indians, and her mother
later went to the post with it She
was received in a hospitable man
ner and kindly treated, and the ef-
feet OF her visit was such that
through her oyertures were made,
with the result that soon after
ward the entire band moved back

wouldn't marry him before he
went away.
