CHAPTER vi
A Wild Scramble

TERKY. the squirrel girl, was so
u stupid over her music lesson
~ that Miss Jones, the teacher,
losing all patience, raped her
smartly over the, knuckles with a
pointer.
As Peggy and Billy, watching
through the window, chuckled at
this, .Jerky drew Me Imagination
Stone from her,pocket and in trice
the girl at the piano vanished. In
Miss Jones lap was saucy squirrel.
Miss Jones shrieked wildly and the
squirrel nipped her on the wrist.
Outside on the curb. Perky, the
squirrel-boy. was tearing his hair
over BiNy's arithmetic problems.
Suddenly he became a squirrel
again. Jerky's first thought had
been of her companion.
Miss Jones rushed for the door
and as she threw it open, she sud-
denly became a parrot. That was
Jerky's revenge for the unhappy
half hour she had spent at the piano
Now Jerky was satisfied and she
rushed for freedom
Peggy and Billy saw their chance
to get the Stone, and darted down
to the door A gust Of wind slammed
it shut in their faces, with the Stone
inside.
"Woel Woe" croaked the Raven,
futtering out from his hiding place
as the two rats discovered him. The
rats. angered at his escape, made
after Peggy and Billy. They seemed
terribly powerful and ferocious.
Now began a terrible race, Peggy
and Billy on ahead, the rats right
after them. Up the tree, out on the
swaying branches, along a telephone
cable high above the street, across
a wire to the roof of the house, over
the caves to broken attic window,
a scamper through the attic only to
find the stair door closed, a plunge
into a dark, dangerous-looking rat
hole, rush between the walls into
the cellar, and then up the cellar
stairs to the kitchen. In the kitchen

was Hilda, nodding over the pota-
toes she was pairing for supper. I'm
der her feet rushed two desperate
squirrels and right after them two
awful rats. Up went Hilda's feet!
Through the air flew potatoes, pan
and pairing water. Out from behind
the stove darted Tom. the cat turned
into a dog.
Now the chase led through the
house, with rats after squirrels and
dog after rats. Peggy led the way
through halls and rooms to the spot
where the Imagination Stone lay.
The rats grabbed the squirrels tails,
when suddenly Peggy and Billy be-
came girl and boy again, The rafe
tumbled back, Tom made for them
and the chasers became chased.
Ni'lv opened the door and out they
tore.
Following them and looking up,
Peggy saw that the hawk had just
caught the raven, and the eagle had
just caught the hawk. In flash she
turned them into Reddy Woodpeck-
er, Blue Jay and Judge Owl.
Just in time hooted Judge Owl
Another second and I'd have eaten
Blue Jay up"
A shout drew Peggy's attention
to the street. The man with the gun
was just about to shoot the sup
posed mad dog. Instantly Peggy
turned the bulldog back into the po-
liccman. At the same moment she
turned Tony into a monkey again
and Sylvester back into an organ
grinder.
Frisker she turned back into a
dog and he joined Tom in chasing
the rats. Just as the rats were about
to be caught, Peggy turned them
back into the Sharp brothers. The
two brothers Kept running down the
street as fast as they could leg it,
with the dogs after them, until
Peggy turned Tom back into a cat,
and then Frisker took after him as
eagerly as ever
lie parrot was SquaWKlng about
the yard. Peggy. remembering her
unpreparcd piano lesson, was Tempt
ed to let her squawk, but the thought
seemed nj an, so she quickly
changed the parrot back into Miss
Jones, and Miss Jones went sailing
down the street very indignant in
deed.
The dazed policeman was looking
at the organ-grinder.
Il ought to arrest you for cruelty
to that monkey" he said, but if
you'll do better I'll let you go this
time"

Tony did dance of JOY and so

the Imagination Stone and it rolled

cIemeneeau's way.

NJ. Clemenceau, in his capacity of
minister for war, is setting his house
in order. No matter in hand of less
than first-rate importance-and then
he deals with it himself-is to take
more than three days to settle. 1t is
not a reform, 1t is a revolution, is
the remark of those who have expert
enced the circumlocutions, delays. and
red tape of officialdom. "No longer is
the head of a department to ask for
written reports from his subordinates
on insignificant questions, when few
minutes conversation would settle the
whole question. No longer is pen to
be put to paper, and stacks of docu-
ments collected, when a simple tele-
phone call would suffice" And as
final proof that the order is griffe du
Tigre, the Tigers own mark, il may
be added that departments are to be
subjected to supervision when least
expected, and that disregard for the
three-days' rule will result in severe
penalties for the persons concerned

NO OUTWARD SIGN OF GRIEF
Dumb Agony of cossack Woman, Tast
ing Leave of Mate, More lmpres-
siVe Than Flow of Tears.

It was the square of Yurievets ION
the Volga) that one of those tragic
fragments which life casts up Ike
driftwood was flung at our feet. a
Cossack's devastating of his mate;
that was all, million times repeated
in q million different izbas, in that one
summer But it was more-symbol OF
woman's ancient and inarticulate grief.
These shawled and booted women OF
the North are too burdened with
earth's sorrow to weep; they are like
dumb cattle in their woe. The soldier
himself was openly wiping his eyes on
his coarse, dusty, brown sleeve, while
under both arms he clutched absurdly
two enormous loaves of black bread.
A dingy little child in its mothers arms
huttered uncomprehending hands in
the direction of the steamer; but from
the Mongol-cheeked, gray-eyed woman
there was no sign.
She neither touched her man in fare
well, nor offered any of those small
caresses by which we seek to mitigate
our grief. The sullen silence of the
North had laid its finger upon her,
but her eyes followed her mate with
the wild, unreasonable grief Of the
forest sprung. She stood still star
ing, unaware of the baby in her arms.
while the steamer moved slowly out
into the gray mists. Long after dusk
had closed down, could see her face
straining in the cleaning like Il mask
of despair.-Olive Gilbreath In the

King Wheat Loses Crown.

Another monarch has lost his
old king wheat who used to lord it
over the other cereals. He isn't even
as good as some of the other cereals,
experts declare, after making tests on
what he does TO animals. The main
reason he is so much sought after
these days is that unlike Brother Corn
he can stand more knockingN about,
and he doesn't get sick on an ocean
voyage. Neither of these accomplish
ments entitle him to higher honor
than the other grains.
Wheat possess over oats, corn and
rice absolutely no nutritional quality
for man or beast" is the verdict
reached my DIR. Alonzo F. Taylor, who
was appointed by the Food Admins
traton to preside at the usurper's
trial 1T has no more protein and no
better protein. II has no more fat and
no different fat. 1t has no mineral
salt better or in larger amounts. It
has no more fuel or better fuel There
is not the slightest. evidence that
wheat is the best of the cereals"
And now we also learn that the old

positively harmful.
