cooperation with it,"

Cornelia Carlyle, the domineering
and narrow minded halt-sister of
Archibald, had steeled her heart
against Isabel from the beginning,

miserable for the poor little mex

of servants, this suspicion grew into
jealousy.
1t was true that Archibald seemed
to have many meetings with the
pretty Barbara-but how was poor
Lady Isabel to know that in reality
these meetings concerned only pri-
vate business of a professional ma
ture? Barbara Hare had a brother,
Richard, who years before had been
accused of murder. Her mother was
an invalid. and her stubborn. unfor-

the son who had disgraced him.

HI, Johnniel Ho. johnnie! Walt

"All right" chartered the Bushytan
squirrel boy. Wen have lots OF
fun"
So he waited and Uncle wisgily ran
out from his hollow stump bungalow
and the bunny got under the squirrel
boys toadstool umbrella and away
they went as happy as clans.
1t rained pitchforks and hoe handles,
cats and dogs and ships and snails
and puppy dogs tails. but neither
Uncle Wigg.S nor Johnnie minded IL
Then all Of a sudden, out from un-
der bush popped the bad old Skee-
zicks.
"Ah. ha! Just in time for me-"
howled the bad chap. II was just
waiting for some one to come along
with an umbrella Now I'll walk with
you" and he squeezed himself in be-
tween Uncle Wiggily and Johnnie.
Where do you want TO go?" asked
Johnnie politely.
Home to my den." answered the
Skeezicks, 'and you'll go home with
me, too. And when we get there"
Well. what was going to happen
then the Skeezicks never told. For,
all of a sudden. 1t began to rain hop
toads and little green frogs. to say
nothing Of angleworms. and. OF
course. there were the pitchforks and
hoe handles and cats and dogs and
ships and snails and puppy dogs
tails. Oh, It rained very hard, and,
as the Skeezicks was squeezing him
self in, trying to keep dry. all at once
Johnnie's toadstool umbrella closed
up and down came the water over
everybody.
"Oh, wow! Oh. double WOW and an
orange lollypop!" howled the Skee-
zicks. You did that on purpose.
Now I'm soaking wet I'm not going
to walk under your old umbrella "
And back he ran to hide under the
bushes.
But do you s'pose Johnnie and
Uncle Wiggily cared for that? Indeed
they were glad to get rid of the Skee.
Johnnie put the umbrella up again
and he and Uncle Wiggily hurried on
s happy as ice cream cones md the
Skeezicks didn't get them at all. so
this teaches US that it is sometimes
