Today'S Story
For Children
by THE STORY LADY

Peter was lying in the hammock
when he heard papa and mama COM
ing out on the porch. So he shut MS
eyes and lay very still and pretended
to be sound asleep. He often picked
UP interesting bits of news this way.
How sound asleep Peter is" said
papa.
IT wonder" said mama a minute
later, 'if Peter realizes how selfish he
Is with the twins. If / give them
cookies he gulps his down and then
begs the twins out of theirs
How do you know" asked papa.
tDid you catch him at ir?"
This morning when I gave them
BONE Prissy asked me to give Peter
two. I thought her very sweet and
generous and asked her why. she
said that If Peter had two perhaps
they could get theirs eaten by the
time he did and they wouldn't have
to divide with him."
well shall I thrash him for 1t? L
won't have those girls of mine abus-
ed.
NO, but 1 wish you would explain
TO him how selfish and ungentleman-
iy it is"
1T wond-." said papa a few mo-
ments later If we ought to XIII tnat

Peter jumped about ten feet and
looked, in vain for the spider. When
he turned around papa and mama
were laughing at him.
Why, hullo, son. Are you
Mwake?" said papa.

SQUIRREL FOOD

Squinty a set out to trail the mys-
FERROUS visitor while the other boys
Were hurrying in the Mary Anne 70
the camp of Mr.. Anderson and his
friends up the river. AS they ap-
preached the camp the boys noticed
that Mr.. Anderson and the other men
were standing close together In earn
est conversation near the landing.
They've got their heads together
about something" said Chuck. Yes.
i bet they won't even q any attes~
ton to our story and won't bother to
come back with us to meet Squinty,"
added Tom. Events proved that Toms
prediction was wrong.
Pickles told Mr.. Anderson and his
companions of the suspected attempt
to steal the boat. Instantly they were
all attention. They asked several ques-
tions. but the boys were unable to
give any information other than to
tell of the tracks in the sand and that
Squinty was on the trail of the stran-
ger and would meet them later far
Their down the river.
Like as not he was one of the men
we are after. Let us get right down
there and meet the boy" said Mr.. An
derson. He boarded the Mary Anne.
The other two got into canoes. they
were all so prompt in deciding and
acting that it was not until the boats
! were under way that Chuck had OPP
lportunity to ask. Are you after some
| body, Mr.. Anderson"
"Yes. we are interested In some
| men who may be along this stretch
| of the river but I'll tell you more
| about it later" was the reply.
They reached the spot where Squin-
| ty said he would meet them but he
! was not in sight. Mr.. Anderson and

walked about the river bank while the

I am sure we are all glad to hear
from Bert and will be looking for
another interesting letter from her in

August 8, 1919.
Dear Helen:
This makes the second letter I have
written to you and not the last. As
soon as I saw hat If we didn't write
you would have to drop the column,
l decided to write as often as possible.
Roses idea for a scrap book was
splendid. I have a Character Book
In fact two of them mostly complete.
They are very easy to make. Just buy
a note book, then put in your questions
at the top of each page, such as NAME,
address, phone nu0ber, pet name. fa-
vorite. school books, authors, painters,
etc. Anything similar to these take
take well. Try one and see.
I also like to read. I'm a lover of
Zane Grey's work too. Also I have
read "At the Foot of the Rainbow"
"Laddie," My Masters VIOLIN" and
many others.
Harrison Fisher Is my ideal. His
June Cosmopolitan was a dream.
Hoping this work is kept up, 1 am,
yours,
"SYL."
I am sur that Character Book is
quite an idea and I think it would be
nice for all the girls to make them as
we'll as the scrap book.
o must be quite a reader and you
choose some very good books, too.
Harrison Fisher is my fayorite artist,
too, and I have a number of his pic
lures framed in my room.
