His pretty countess had said to
him once:
"Only what you have seen, what
yoai have lived and seen others live;
only what you detect from the
clear minded, cool, emotionless
analysis of your own people IS
worth the telling. Only this carries
conviction. And, when told with all
the cunning simplicity and skill or
an artist, it CARED with that au-
thority which leaves an impression
indelible! Go back to your own
people-if you really have any
thing to write worth reading"
Thinking of these things he lock
ed his door on rooms now more or
less in order, and went out into the
street.
1t was too warm for an overcoat.
A promrose sunset light filled the
street; the almost forgotten specific
odour of New York invaded his
memory again-an odour entirely
different from that of any other
city. For every city in the word
has its own odour-not always
perfume.

There seemed to be number OF
studios along the block. In a few
minutes he saw the number he was
looking for.

| I'm Paddy Muskrat's fire" said
Mr.. Turtle. HE has to have fire

Then PNeeF Mink went off to
hunt for Paddy Muskrat. And as
soon as he was out of sight Mr..
Turtle swan away in exactly the
opposite direction, to try to find
Paddy Muskrat and warn him to
look out for Peter Mink.
Mr. Turtle knew just where to
look for Paddy .Muskrat, SO he
found him first, on the bank near
to jump into the pond for swim
when Mr.. Turtle spied him..
What are you going to do?" Mr.
Turtle inquired.
Il have fish to fry" Paddy
Muskrat answered.
Don't do it," said Mr.. Turtle
II advise you to stop eating fish at
once, for Peter Mink has heard
that you are catching fish and he
is very angry"
Paddy Muskrat looked surprised.
II don't care for fish" he ex-
claimed. Il don't see how such a
story started"
1t was Mr., Turtles turn to be
surprised.
why" he cried. you just told
me that you had fish to fry!"
"Yes!" Paddy said. But I did
not really mean that. 1 only meant
that was very busy"
Mr.. Turtle was puzzled.
It's queer way of saying So"
he remarked. do you mean to tell
me that you never make a fire at
all?"
Certainly not!" Paddy Muskrat
declared.
Then" said Mr.. Turtle, 'if I
were you I'd stop talking that way
It's misleading. And it may get
you into trouble. Peter Mink is
hunting for you this very minute.
And he'll hurt you if he can. I'm
going to stay near you for a while,
SO 1 can help you if Peter finds
you"
Paddy Muskrat thanked him.
And then he leaped into the pond
to enjoy his swim, with Mr.. Turtle
following some distance behind
him.
Paddy hoped that he wouldn't
meet Peter Mink. But he was very
glad to know that Mr.. Turtle was

Baskets Are Crammcd


A glimpse at one of the baskets
which were distributed to seventy
Salem families at 2 O'Clock this
afternoon proves conclusively that
these Christmas dinners will be no
small affairs. Each one of the
package contained one chicken,
cranberries, celery, potatoes, ap-
pies, candy, nuts, oranges, bread,
milk, three jars of canned goods,
five pounds of dried prunes, one
pound of butter, and one pound of
coffee.
There is only one thing more
we wish to ask" Ensign Roe said.
"If people will just toss an extra
COMA nickle, a dime, quarter
or more in the kettle tonight, it
will help us to take care of any
unforeseen occasion which may
arise during the next "a hours. We
ask people to remember that our
work goes on in every month in
the year, and that every cent which
we received will be carefully
spent"
Approximately 20 families are
watched over by the local Saliva
