Whackum are coming along with
Grandfather Goosey Gander $
house, which they are making over
on account of the fire
"Well be careful not to get
burned" spoke Nurse Jane.
ooh, the fire was out long ago.
explained Uncle Wiggily. "Jacko
put it out with milk from his co..
coanut. | am just going to watch
the busy beavers rebuild the
house"
over the fields and through the
woods went Uncle Wiggily, and
when he reached Grandpa Gooseys
house, which was partly burned
he only saw near it Toodle, the one
beaver boy.
where are the others?" asked
Uncle Wiggily.
Noodle went to get some wood
en- nails" explains Toodle, and
Grandpa Whackum has gone to get
us some nice bark sandwiches for
lunch. i can do nothing urtil
Noodle comes back with the nails;
so let's sit and talk, Uncle Wiggily.'
The bunny gentleman thought
this would be nice, so he sat down
on a shady place near the duck
pond ocean, which was again filled
with water; though it had gone dry
at the time of the fire.
Where is Grandpa Goosey?,
asked Uncle Wiggily, as he famed
his pink, twinkling nose with a
broad chip which Toodle had
gnawed from log.
"Oh, he's gone to get Uncle But
te", the goat gentleman, to have
him see about painting the new
part of the house, when we have
finished building it," said Toodle,
we have the place to ourselves,
Uncle Wiggily."
And while the bunny gentleman
and the beaver boy were sitting on
the bank, near the duck pond,
waiting for Noodle to come back
with the wooden nails, along came
Billie Wagtail, the goat boy, all
out of breath. -

came out with the glasses, he saw
a funny sight.
Toodle, the beaver boy, with his
broad, flat tail like a canoe pad

THE VETERAN.

Contributed
Down the street in straggly battalion
Come the ranks of the Blue and the Gray.
And bugle that sounded at Shiloh
Bids me join my comrades today,
It's April again in the mountains
tbs, Spring by the sweet Tennessee,
And my heart beats with loyal ardor
As madly ride after Lee.
And then through the years memory leads me-
My eyes DINNER grow as they pass
For the comrades who fought bravely by me
Have gone DER the river, alas
But I know on this bright May morning,
AS feebly l answer the call,
That the Blue and the Gray are united,
And the bugle softly cries Brothers ALI"

CLIFFORD SHOWS SIGNS, OF
LIFE.

Chapter XII. sr
Mlldred's parents decided that
she must be induced to visit them
as soon as she was able.
Perhaps it will be good for both
of them" Mrs. Sutton told her
husband. 'Clifford might, miss
her, and be more thoughtful whom
she returned"
Il doubt it! Clifford Is not a
young man, my dear. And if he
neglects her already, when they
have been married such little
while, and at such q time, | fear
she hasn't much happiness to look
forward to in her life with him,
But perhaps you are right, and a
separation will do them both good,
wen hope so, at least"
Mr. SuttOn's Insomnia.
All that night Mr.. Sutton tossed
restlessly, trying to evolve some
plan to insure his daughters hap
piness. His heart was filled with
pity and love for her, and anger
toward Clifford Hammond-the
man who had sworn to love and
cherish her. eh
He could think of nothing, how
ever, but determined to urge Mil
dred to visit them.
In tho morning, when he broach-
ed the subject to her, she objected.
TT will be some time before
shall be able to travel, father, and
l. doubt IL Clifford can leave his
business" She felt sure that, were

be impossible to keep her unhap-
piness, Clifford's neglect, from
them. t'.t ss
We'll, wait and see!" Her faith
er would not urge her, recognizing
that just. now she needed to be
humored and petted more than she
needed anything else. she was hurt
and wounded BY, her husbands in
difference, and they must do all
they could to counterfeit it.
well wait while, then, if she
doesn't come down, you must come
up after her. Mrs. Sutton said
when, her husband repeated Mil
Ydred's objections.
One morning, after Clifford had
been gone about ten days. when
Mandy brought her mistress her
breakfast. she also laid a thin en-
velope beside her plate.
A letter from Clifford at last,
Am having a fine time, and,
great luck with the fish" he com
menced; they are biting we'll. /
hope you are all right by this time.
Give the youngster kiss for me
and keep one for yourself" Then
followed a few directions concern
ing home affairs. 1t was an I'M
satisfactory letter, but it Brought
more happiness to Mildred than
she had felt since he left her.
She left the letter lying conspic-
uously on the bed so that her faith
or and mother might see it.
Between the Lines.
'IIello!" her father exclaimed as
soon as he came into the room.

Does he say when he is coming

mo. He doesn't mention it. But
he told me before he went away
that he would be back in about two
or three weeks" His omission to
mention his coming had hurt Mil
dred, but she didn't intend her
father to know it.

1t was no part of her plan to have
her husband and father meet just

Of duty, to say nothing of his in

Shortage Of Freight Cars
Keeps Funds Of Country
Banks in "CoId Storage. !"
NJ BoERsIANER


When bankers and the Reserve
Board officials meet In Chicago today
TO discuss the money position they
might address themselves probably
TO the freight cars situation.
IL is an open secret that cars and
money rates are tightly entwined,
and as the Reserve Board members
are governmental they could console
themselves by comforting with MI
Hines.
Funds OF country banks are cold
storaged because there are no cars
In which TO move foodstuffs (some
perishable) and commodities TO mar
ket. Strictly speaking. no available
cars. Freight accommodation there
IL. II not co .nplete. still fairly so; but
II is scattered unavailably through
out the country. Where cars are not
needed, there ~ a hundred per cent
surplus. and vice versa.
Huge sums OF money sss tied up In
the interior In immoyable freight;
cash that in other times had been re-
leased and sent to Chicago and New
York. Eight per cent time loans and
any per cent call money had been
impossible in New York were IT not
for the virtual breakdown in goods
transportation.
hCNN
over a possible rush OF nlled cars into
Chicago from the West. The mis-
placement of cars cuts both ways and
deeply. Imitation (of prices) Is that
much more abetted. and banking
facilities are ratably hampered.
Criticism OF the director general
were unjust. One man. however, ex-
perienced and efficient, cannot eff
ficiently direct all the railroads or
the United States. In war time the
Job may be managed in a way; for
then the roads are conducted arbi-
trarily. regardless of consequences-
for a single purpose. for everything
and everybody must be side tracked
for that purpose. But in peace the
position Is entirely transformed. The
individual must be speedily and well
accommodated that the business OF
the country may not suffer.
The inefficiency at present Is made
glaring by reason OF the underlined
as well as amorphic status of the
railways. There is neither govern
ment nor private ownership: practi-
cally neither private nor government
control.
