WHEN A GIRL MARRTES

So, in fear and trembling, I took the
journey to Betty.
Terry met me at the station. When
he caught my hands in his and looked
at me questioningIy but kindly, knew
that no matter how Jim might think that
I had Numbered, Terry was going to
understand.
"Terry-when does her arm come out
of the cast?" ! gasped as soon as our
formal greetings were over and 1 was
slowed in his car.
This afternoon, Anne, I thought you'd
be willing to-help me tell her
do you want me to tell herr 1 gulped

to offer the explanation for which he was
too chvalrous to ask:

SO you'd be perfectly happy, and able to

"Anne-youre splendid. Splendid!

cover the use gradually-and prepare her
that way-so she wont have the terrible
shock of finding her arm useless2" 1

CHAPTER CXCV-


You thought I'd stand by-that I'd
make 'em see you meant to do the right
thing repeated Jim, musingly. You
thought I'd chase down there with you
and take your medicine for you-if it
proved a nasty dose?"
mo, not exactly that. Not that at all,
JIM" | began, but he cut in-intent on
his own train of thought:
Il suppose now you'd like to see me
call off the dinner and theater party and
go down to stand between your fool
meddling and it's results. Is that it ?"
II never thought of your going, but
1t would be wonderful, jim"
"Well-Im not going. That's fat And
! think what you did was a piece of
blamed impertinence. Under the circum-
stances, | guess the only decent thing
for you to do is send a second messag e
saying you'll be down In the morning.
III get you a car for the day If you
want to start early"
oh, that's kind Of you. Jim. But l
want to stay-as long as Betty and Terry
need me. So I'd best go by train"
That's right" retorted jim, irritably.
Throw a mans kindness in his face. Re-
fuse to let me do a thing"
If you really want to be kind, Jim
why not Gomez" | asked, coaxingly, run
ming over to lay my hand on his sleeve.
He shook it off impatiently, and l felt
as If he had struck me- | made vow
then that l wouldn't soon attempt what
became familiarity and one that was
completely out of place-under Jim's re
ception of it.
Jim decided that JEANNE must take
my place as hostess at the dinner. and
made me promise not to let her know

for fear she'd get touch Of the "sickly
sentimentals" too, and refuse to see the

she decided to trim with left over pieces
of old blue linen of which she had made

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.

Now. you remember In the last story
that the King had asked his poet laureate
what should be done to rid the castle Of
the big immense oak tree that made the
palace rooms as dark as night because
the leaves and branches spread around
the walls and covered the windows so
that the sun never was seen from one
day to another. SO the poet brought out
the big sign on which he had printed IN
beautiful gold letters:
To him who cuts my oak tree down
I'll give three bags of gold,
But all who fail shall lose their ears
And then as slaves be sold"
But what good will that exquisite
poem y" asked the King sarcasticaIly.
1t will keep your Royal Highness
from being irritated by this endless
sound of chop, chop, chop replied the
poet Il verify believe every man in
your kingdom has had hack at the tree.
Now, whoever reads this sign will make
pretty sure that his ak is at least 4
better one than any that have so far
been used"
Very well'' replied the King. have
the sign nailed on this dreadful tree and
we will see what happens"
And of course, as soon as Puss ar
rived at the castle he saw the sign. And
after he had read 1t, he twisted his
whiskers in the same manner as he had
seen My Lord of Carabas twist his mus
tache, and then he bowed very low to the
King, who happened to be standing near
by with all his courtiers.
"Ha, ha." laughed the King, as he saw
Puss reading the sign. do you, too,
wish to lose your ears?" And then all
the courtiers laughed.
Il can but try" answered little Puss
Junior brsvely, and he opened his KNAPP
sack and took out his Magic AK and
stood 1t up, with the handle leaning
against the enchanted tree. Then step
ping back few feet. he cried out Chop,
chop, chop!'
And would you believe It, the AK be-
gan to chop, now right, now left. and
up and down, and pretty soon that big
immense tree was cut to bits. And II
took only quarter Of an hour, and yet
there was such monstrous heap Of wood
that the whole court had nothing else to
burn for a whole year.
But when little Puss asked the King
for the three bags Of gold, that stingy
old monarch said, Before 1 give you the
reward, you must perform another task"
What is 1t ?" asked Puss.
"You must dig me a well so that may
have plenty of water" said the King.
And in the next story you shall hear
what the Magic Pickax did.-Copyright.
