And what do you mean by quo

elder Why, don't you know: It's
something the teacher tells us on
Monday, and we have to remember
it all the week; then on Friday we
go TO the platform and say it,"

As soon as DeLaine landed in

talk with his aunt's lawyer. who eX
planned the situation aS1actfully as
possible.

He made no comments on his late
clients eccentricities, although he
probably had decided views with
regard to them.
And il they marry" The ques-
ton was so blunt as to be almost
rude.
Everything will so to certain
charities designated by Miss De-

David rose to his feet 1t is a
foregone conclusion that the money
will GO to those charities" he said.
"I have no intention of marrying
even if any woman would have
me-which is most unlikely.
But" the lawyer reminded him,

The plan had seemed easy as Da-
vid DeLaine thought 1t out while
recuperating in France after his
discharge from the hospital He had
enough money to pay for his board
and lodgings for a few weeks in a
Tiny French village. He wanted to
be quite well and ready for work
before starting for his native land.
He had written to his aunt as
soon as he was able to hold a pen.
He had toldOher OF his wound and
of his wishes. He was glad that
he had done this when he reflected
that as soon as he got back home
he must ask her to lend him money.
He hoped to get a job in New
York. Surely the prospects OF ad-
vancement there would be better
than in Baltimore.
The Terms Of the Will.
And then. just before leaving
France, he had received a letter
from his aunt's lawyer telling him
that Miss Jeanne DeLaine had died
suddenly of heart disease"
She left full directions regard
ing her funeral and the disposition
Of her personal and household ef-
feCts," the lawyer wrote. "All has
been done as she would wish. Her
many friends were generally re-
membered. She arranged with
meticuloUs care that everyone
should have some souvenir.

the little boy had seated
himself on the steps OF the piazza.
and the Black Bird had .perched
himself on the railing, and Tom
Thumb had crept out of Puss
Juniors pocket and the Baa Baa
Black Sheep had lain down ON the
lawn-and I'm glad to say there
are no more lands" for we would
never hear PUss Juniors story il
we kept on at this rate-"a cat
went up into a garrett just to look
around, when he saw on the floor
an Old book"
On the cover was a picture OF. q
cat wearing red-toppsd boots.
And when he saw that picture he
said. "It must be the picture OF my
father, Puss in Boots. for that was
the name of the story book cat!'
The. little boy looked at Puss
Junior. Then he glanced at his
red-topped boots, and then he gave
a happy little laugh, and said:
weren't you the cat that went
up into the garrett" And this time
Puss Junior laughed. Yes" he
replied. "You have guessed right,
my little man. ] am that cat?"
And did you find your father?"
asked the little boy.
II did" replied Puss Junior. 81

him for nearly a year"
And why did you leave?" asked

"Oh. 1 just wanted to see more
OF the wide, wide world" replied
Puss Junior.
And don't you ever miss your
father" asked tho little boy.
Yes, I do, very often" replied
Juss Junior, purring softly into the
little boys ear. And then, all of
a sudden, the little boy saw Tom
Thumb in Puss Juniors pocket.
who are you?" cried the little
boy, stretching out his hand. But
Tom had no intention of being
picked up by a small boy. He had
seen kittens picked up by their
small towneTs. and he wasn't going
to run any chances. So he jumped
to one side. II am Tom Thumb"
he said, when he had run on to a

To give the clock more room on

Curious Ideas of Golf.

Twenty years ago the majority OF
women knew nothing about golf,
and many good anecdotes are still
told Of some OF the curious ideas
they had regarding the game. One
lady. making sympathetic cOnvcrsa-
tiOn at dinner. said TO an enthusi-
astic golfer:
Il often see YOU in your red coat.
Do YOU need many dogs To play
golf"
\ younger lady said she knew eX-
aCtly how the game was played.
"Tney get what they call caddies
TO hunt about in the grass till they
find round stone. and then they
hit it into a rabbit hole"
4 third lady. who had evidently
enjoyed a nearer view of the game,
said.
