Finally he sprang up and flung him

The door Of Doris room was un-

that his angry words had been spoken
So thoughtlessly. 1t was the first

full and you don't want to turn your
self Into a common mold"
He told himself that he must be
very gentle with her. She was so
young and inexperienced and I'M
formed and her only fault really
had been that she wanted so des-
perately to please. He foresaw the
danger of this susceptibility OF hers
to passing influence.

Most women plan and scheme to keen
their husbands from ever meeting
their FIRST sweethearts. II thew were

III their power to bring them together,

experience so disillusioning as meet
ing a former love, after the lapse Of
number of years.
In his heart "A man may have cher
ished picture Of his first sweetheart
as moonbeam maid, as 1.-the and
graceful as faun, with stars in her
eyes. and laughter bubbling over her
lips. He has never thought of her as
growing old. or as touched by the
soaring experiences Of life. She lives
FOR him as the incarnate expression
OF youth, his own, as well as hers.
When they meet, he finds her fat
and stuffy, wheeling for breath, or
thin and nervous wyspeptic, with
her interest centered on her liver in
stead of her heart. Her conversation
runs to grandchildren instead Of
poetry. eShe is full of symptoms and
"reminiscences OF surgical operations,

1t Is true that his wife is as old as
his first sweetheart. and probably
time has been no kinder to her, but
she has the inestimable advantage
over the other woman OF having al
ways been with her husband, so that
the changes in her took place so
gradually that he did not perceive
them, hence she escaped giving him
the shock Of seeingA her suddenly
changed from youth to age, as his
first sweetheart did. That is why a

the truth SO far as he knows IL, that
she looks much younger than his

stump bungalow. he saw. Just aheao
Of him. on the path. a funny old goat
gentleman, with a bag over his
shoulder.
The goat gentleman let. the bag
slump in a heap before him, and sad

Excuse me, sir" spoke the rabbit
gentleman in a kind and polite voice,

goat. and 1t goes this way" Quick

Uncle Wiggily quickly.
a
goat chap folded up his empty bag
and started for home to get his
rusty tin can soup and the bunny
gentleman hoped toward his hol-
low stump bungalow.
Uncle Wiggily was just turning
the corner of a peppermint tree
when, all of a sudden, out from be-
hind it jumped the queer old Ba-
zippa.
"Ah. ha, Now 1 have you" cried
the Bazippa. who is a chap some
thing like the Pipsisewah, only with
very long and slender neck. re-
| sembling a knitting needle. II have

caught hold of Uncle wiggily's tall
silk hat.

whirligig before. And as the whirIi-
gig went higher and around and

spun the faster the Bazippa twisted
