BUNNET RABBIT RUNS AWAY.
pARTI.

Bunnet was a little rabbit who lived
with her father and mother under the hill
not great distance from the farm.
She had never gone to the farm because
her mother had told her il was not safe,
as Mr.. Dog lived there and he dearly loved
to catch little rabbits.
Bunnet thought a great deal about the
farm and all the nice green things she
heard her father and mother say were in
the garden, and, while they always brought
her plenty to eat, Bunnet wished to see
for herself and pick the things she best
liked.
One morning before she was up she
listened 20 her father and mother talking
about their visit to the farm the night
before.
81 am sure that the beet tops will be
ready by tonight, said Mr.. Rabbit. ''and

Sure Way to Get
Rid of Dandruff

There Is one sure way that never fails
10 remove dandruff completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirely. To do this just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiri &; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
IN gently with the finger tips
By morning most. if not all, of your
dandruf will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You vii find. too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly.
and your hair viii be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy. silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
Yo can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. II is inexpensive, and four ounces
is all SOU viii need This simple remedy
has never been known to fail.

when she saw the tender beet tops just
sticking through the soil Bunnet forgot
leverything else and began to eat
How long she ate she never could tell,
but the next thing she knew there WAS Mr.
Dog so close to her she could not run.
Oh, how fast her little heart did beat
and how she did wish she had been a good
little rabbit and stayed at home, but now
it was too late, and she felt sure that she
never would see her father and mother
again.
Tomorrow will tell you what happened
to Bunnet, but this much | will tell you
tonight: Mr.. Dog did not catch her.

HvIL times fell upon England in
H. the year lS4s' when the great
plague devastated the land. 1t
was during this period that the story
of Sir Nigel takes place.
The house of Loring, like many an
other noble family, felt the heavy hand
of misfortune; for after the Barons'
War and lawsuits with Waverly Abbey
the men Of the church and the men .of
the law left nothing but the manor of
Tilford for the remaining members of
the family, Lady Ermyntrude and her
grandson Nigel.
Nigel LOring came of race of
heroes, his grandfather having fallen
at the battle of Stirling, and his father
in the sea fight of Sluys. Nigel, his
veins thrilling with the blood of hun
sire for adventure and combat; having
been trained at the desire of his grand
mother in skill at arms, and courage,
he became also daring rider. At
times fierce bitterness assailed Nigel
at the thought of the wrongs done by
the Abbot of Waverly, whom he be-
lieved had robbed the Lorings of much
of their estate.
On the first day Of May, the Festival
of the Apostles Philip and James, con-
sternation reigned at the Abbey, when
it was found that large pike had
eaten the carp in Abbot Johns fish
pond, Nigel being accused Of putting
the pike in the pond. Abbot John and
the sacrist, Brother Samuel, were In
consultation upon the subject. when
they were rudely interrupted by buzz
of excitement among the monks in the
c,oister. A white-faced brother flung
open the door and rushing into the
room cried, "Father Abbot alas, alas
Brother John Is dead, and the Sub.
prior is dead, and the Devil Is loose
in the five virgate field"
Now what the brother called the
