out of an east t-side sewer."
Oswald pricked up his intel
ligent and rather pointed ears.
Chiltren Grismer had never
told his son the story of Stepha-
ME Quest. In the beginning, this
boy had been too young, and theirs
seemed to be no particular reason
for telling him. Later, when Girls
mer suddenly developed ambi-
tions in behalf Of his son for the
Quest fortune, he did not say al,y=
thing about Stephanie's origin,
fearing that it might prejudice his
son.
Now, he suddenly concluded to
tell him, not from spite entirely,
nor to satisfy his increasing re-
sentiment against Cleland; but be-
cause Oswald would, some day,
inherit the Grismer money And
it might be just as well to prime
him now in the event that any of
the C1enncks should ever start to
reopen the case which had de-
prived Jessie Grismer of her. own
inheritance SO many years ago.
The young fellow listened with
languid astonishment as the links
of the story, very carefully and
morally polished, were displayed
by his father for his instruction
and edification.
"That is the sort of stylish
people they are" concluded Girls
mer, making an abrupt end. Let
it be a warning to you to keep
your eye on the Clelands; for a
man that calls himself a philan-
thopist, and is sharp enough to
pick out an heiress from the gut
ter, will bear watching!-m NM
yes, indeed, he certainly will bear
watching"

In spite of several advances
made by Chiltren Grismer, whose
son, Oswald, was also at Harvard
and a popular man in his class,
John Cleland remained politely
unreceptive; and there were no
social amenities exchanged, Jim
CIeiand and Oswald Grisner did
not visit each other, although
\ friendly enough at Cambridge.
| Clelapd. Senior made no particular
effort to discourage any such
friendly footing, and he was not
inclined to judge Grismer by his
| father: He merely remained un-
responsive.
In such cases. he who makes
the advances fnterprets their nom
success according to his own nat
ure. And Grismer concluded that
he had been a victim of insidious
guile and sharp practice, and that
John Cleland had taken Stepha-
ME to his heart only after he had
learned that, some day, she would
inherit the Quest fortune from her
relative.
Chagrin and sullen Irritation
against Cleland had possessed him
since he first learned of this in
heritance; and he nourished both.
until they grew into a dull, watch
full anger. And he waited for
something or other that might in
some way offer him chance to
repair the vital mistake he had
made in his attitude toward the
child.
But Cleland gave him no open
ing whatever; Grismer social adj
vances were amiably ignored. And
it became palmer and palmer to
Grismer, as he interpreted the si-
tuation, that John Cleland was
planning to unite thru his son
Jim, the comfortable CleIand in
come with the Quest millions, and
TO elbow everybody else out of
the way.
''The philanthropic hypocrite,"
mused Grismer, still smarting
from a, note expressing civil re-
grets in reply to an invitation to
Stephanie and Jim to join them
after church for motor trip to
Lakewood.
Cant they come?" inquired
Oswald.

not the sort Of person to think
and think about thing and put
off the doing of it from one day
to another. SO the moment the
idea of house popped into his
head Sandy Chipmunk began hun
ting for good place to dig.
1t was not long before he found
bit of ground that seemed TO
him the very best spot for a home
that any one could want.
The place where he intended to
make his front door was In the
middle of a smooth plot among
some beech trees. Farmer Greens
cows had clipped the grass short
All around. And Sandy knew that
|he could have neat doorway
without being obliged to go to the
trouble of cutting the grass him
Self But what he liked most OF
ali about the place was that as
he stood there he could look all
around in every direction. That
was just he wanted, because when
ever ne WlSllSu W iCuNC hAo ~"
house he would be able to peep
out and4see whether anybody was
waiting TO catch him.
So Sandy Chipmunk took off
his little, short coat, folded il
carefully, and laid it down upon
the grass. Then he pulled off his
necktie and unbuttoned his collar.
Just because he was going to dig
in the ground there was no reason
why he should get his clothes dirty
After that Sandy Chipmunk set
to work And you sould have
seen how he made, the earth fly.
When night came and he had to
stop working there was big heap
of dirt beneath the beech trees,
to show how busy Sandy had been.
There was big hole I'm the pas
ture too. But it was nothing at
all, compared with the hole Sandy
had dug by the time he had finish
ed his house.
Every morning Sandy Chip
munk came back to the grove of
beech trees to work upon his new
house. And 1t was not many
days before his burrow was so
deep that when winter came the
ground about his chamber would
not freeze. 1t was what Farmer
Green would have called below
rost-line."
You must not think it was an
easy mater for Sandy Chipmunk
to dig home. You must remem-
ber that somehow he had to bring
the dirt out of his tunnel to he
top Of the ground. And he did
that by pushing it ahead of him
with his nose.
You may laugh when you isear
that. But for Sandy Chipmunk I'll
was no laughing mater. If he
had laughed, just as likely as not
he would have found his mouth
full of dirt. And you can under
stand that that wouldn't have been
very pleasant.
AS it was, his face was very
dirty. But he. never went back to
his mothers house until he had
washed it carefully, just as a cat
washes her face.
Sometimes Sandy found stones
in his way, down there beneath
the pasture. And those he had
to push up, too. Sometimes a
stone was too beg to crowd though
the opening into the world out
side. And then Sandy had to
make the opening bigger. After
he had done that and pushed the
stone out upon his dirt-pile, he
would make his doorway smaller
again by packing earth firmly in
to it.
You must not suppose that
when Sandy brought the loose dirt
and stones up Though his door
way he left them there. Not at
