With this Striped Chipmunk started
briskly along his long hall toward the

Cat And tho - was this difference be-
tween the .wo: Striped Chipmunk
didn't know that Black Pussy was
waiting for him up above, and BACK
Pussy did know that Striped
Chipmunk was down below and sooner
or later would come out.
Now in a certain little apple hang-
ing from certain branch of certain
apple tree lived a certain little worm
That certain branch OF that certain
apple tree was just over the little
path. so that certain little apple hung
just over Black Pussy. but high up.
Black Pussy knew nothing OF that
certain little worm in that certain
little apple. Neither did Striped Chip
munk Neither would have given him
so much as a thought had they kroWn
of him. And that certain little worm
in that certain little apple knew moth
ing of Striped Chipmunk. nor of Black
Pussy, and he wouldn't have given
either of them a thought had he
known of them.
His one concern in life was to eat
and grow, eat and grow. That is what
that certain little worm was in that
certain little apple for. At least. that
was his view of the matter. So for
some time he had been eating and
growing, eating and growing and he
was now in the very heart of that
certain little apple.
Now little apples with little worms
in them do not thrive and grow as
other apples do. and after while they
become weak in their stems and drop
from the trees so that the trees may
give all their strength to making the
other apples, which haven't l.ttle
worms in them, big and beautiful and
delicious, as apples should be.
That certain little worm III that GER
tain little apple on that certain
branch of that certain tree ate on and
on, and at last that certain little ap-
ple could hold on to that certain
branch no longer. So it let go and fell.
And it fell just as Striped Chipmunk
poked his nose out of his little rodnd
doorway where waited Black Pussy.

snakes tail disappear inside. Then what do you think Danny did? Why he followed Mir. Blacksnake right into the old post, but in doing it he didn't make the least little bit of noise.
 MT. Blacksnake kept right on through the old post and out the other end, for he was sure that that was the way Danny had gone. He kept right on along the little path. Now Danny knew that he wouldn't go very far before he found out that he had been fooled. Of course, he would come back. So Danny waited only long enough to get his breath and then ran back along the path he had just come, to where another little path branched off For just a minute he paused.
 If Mir. Blacksnake follows me he will be sure to think that, of course, I have taken this other little path, thought Danny; 'so I won't do it.
 Then he ran harder than ever until he came to a place where two little paths branched off. One to the right and one to the left. He took the lat ter and scampered on, sure that by this time Mr. Blacksnake would be so badly fooled that he would give up the chase. And Danny was right.

Little Stories For Bedtime
. AN EXCITING DAY FOR DANNY
 MEADOW MOUSE
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Danny Meadow Mouse started along one of his private little paths Ne-y early one morning. He was on his way 10 get a supply of a certain , kind of grass seed of which he was very fond. He had been thinking about that seed for some time and waiting for it to get ripe. Now it was just right, as he had found out the day before by visit to the place where this particular grass grew. The only trouble was it grew a long way from Danny's home, and to reach it he had to cross an open place where the grass was so short that he couldn't make a path under it.
 -I feel it in my bones that this is GoluE to be an exciting day" said Danny to himself as he trotted along.
 T suppose that if I was really wise ] would stay nearer home and do without that nice seed. But nothing ts really worth having unless it is worth working for. and that seed will taste all the better if I have hard Work getting it."
 So he trotted along his private lit He path with his eyes wide open and his little nose carefully testing every Merry Little Breeze who happened along for any scent of danger which it might carry. Most of all he de- frA&f0 upon ms ears. TOT the STaSS was so tall that he couldn't see over ft- even when he sat up. He had gone only a little way when he thought he heard a queer rustling behind him. He stopped to listen. There it was again and it certainly was right in the path behind him. He didn't need to be told who was making it. There was only one who could make such a sound as that MT Blacksnake.
 Now, Danny can run very fast along his private little paths. but he knows that MT. Blacksnake can run faster If my legs can't save me my wits must" thought Danny, as he started 10 run as fast as ever he could T must reach that fallen old hollow fence post"
 He was almost out of breath when he rescher the post. and scurried in- to the open end. and he knew by the sound of the rustling that MT. Black snake was right at his heels. Now, the old post was hollow it's whole lengfh. but half way there was an old knothole just big enough for Danny to saueeze through. Mir. Blacksnake didn't know anything about that hole, and. because it was dark inside the old post. he didn't see Danny pop through it. Danny ran back along .the top of the. log and was just fin -ime to see the tip of Mir. Black

Cabbage is a plebeian vegetable that can be made to rival the aristo- cratic cauliflower or brussels sprouts if 1t is carefully cooked and served. If cooked in an uncovered kettle the unpleasant pungency of it's odor will not be noticed.

Drain and put in freshly boiling water and boil rapidly for twenty five minutes. Drain, remove core and chop. Put a layer of cabbage in well-buttered baking dash. Add q few shreds of peppers which have been parboiled for five minutes, sprinkle with cheese, salt and pep per and pour over white sauce to moisten. Continue alternating lay CTS of cabbage and white sauce until all is used. Cover the top with coarse bread crumbs.>dot with bits Of butter and bake in a hot oven for 25 minutes
 Stuffed Cabbage

BY MARY PICkFORD Americas Highest Paid Wo-
 man Wage Farmer

I'm proud I belong to the ranks of American labor. True, I'm more fortunate than most, inasmuch as l elected to work for an indus try which has become notable for the liberal wages it pays.
 But I'm prouder of my work than I am of my earn ings. It's not so strange, however. that the harder I work, the better I do my work, the greater my recompense.
 And to work and earn. in my opinion. is much more en- nobling and noble, than mere- ly to invest and receive.
