cHATTERER's LAST CHANCE
BY THORNTON w. BUR-


 Chatterer the Red Squirrel, run ming for his life and without the least hope, suddenly saw a last chance to escape from Sadow the Weasel. That is, he saw something that might offer him a chance. He couldn't be sure until he had tried. and even then he might escape from one danger only to run right into another equally great. What Chatterer saw was a big brown bunch near the top of a tall chestnut tree, and he headed for that as fast as ever he could go What was that big brown bunch? Why it was Redtail the Hawk, who was dozing there with his head drawn down between his shoulders dreaming of the warm southland.
 Now, old Redtail is one of Chat terer's deadliest enemies. He is quite as fopd of Red Squirrel as is Shadow the Weasel, though he doesn't often try to catch one, because there are other things to eat much easier to get. Chatterer had had more than one narrow escape from old Redtail, and was very much afraid of him, yet here he was running up the very tree in which Redtail was sitting You see, a very daring idea had come into his head. He had seen at once that Redtail was doZing and hadn't seen him at all. He knew that Red- tail would just as soon have Shadow the Weasel for dinner as himself, and a very daring plan had popped into his head.
 T may as well be caught by Red tail as Shadow" he thought as he ran up the tree, but if my plan works out right I won't be caught by either. Anyway, lis my very last chance"
 Up the tree he scrambled, and after him went Shadow the Weasel. Shadow has been so intent on catch ing Chatterer that he had not noticed old Redtail, which was just as Chat terer had hoped. Up, up he scram- bled, straight past old Redtail, but as he passed he pulled one of Redtails S long tail feathers, then ran on to the top of the tree and with the last bit of strength he had left leaped to a nei2hboring spruce tree, where hid den by the thick branches, he stopped to rest and see what would happen. Of course, when he felt his tail pulled old Redtail was wide awake in a flash and, of course he looked down to see who had dared to pull his l tail There just below him was l Shadow the Weasel, who had just that minute discovered who was sit- ting there. Old Redtail hissed
 sharply, and the feathers on the top | of his head stood up in a way they
 have when he is angry. And he was
 angry-very angry.
 Shadow the Weasel stopped short
 Then like a flash he lodged around
 to the other side of the tree He had
 no thought of Chatterer now Things
 were changed all in a flash-quite n Inc af r., i was now the hunted. Old Redtail
 circled in the air just overhead. and l every time he caught sight of Sha- | dow he swooped at him with great
 cruel claws spread to clutch him

Emotion blinds us. To discover that, one does not have to read a learned book.
 Emotion blinds women in love more frequently than men. and more com pletely, if the extracts from two let ters prove anything at all-
 T am desperately in love and have been engaged a year.
 Three months ago the young man went to a nearby city to work. He has seldom written to me. He has been to see me but twice in six weeks. When he came he acted like a mere acquaintance. He never speaks of marriage any more.
 T am afraid to stop writing to him for fear he will surely think am giv- ing him up for another mani"
 This girls love is a fog through which she cannot see the truth.
 She is afraid HE will think SHE loves another-if she ceases to writei He has stopped writing-and she can't guess that it is because another woman is taking up his timet
 Take a hundred cases of disillu- stoned love. and in ninety nine of them the girl will assume that she is somehow to blame.
 The capacity of the female heart for hanging on to q romance after the  man has forgotten it is once more illustrated:
 Two years ago I promised 10 marry the only man I ever loved. He was divorced and he had a little daughter who was with her mother. A year ago, while I was finishing preparations for my wedding, he made a trip of 1000 miles to see his child and to make a settlement to provide for her education.
 He never came back to me. He wrote to me for a month, but never since. Now word comes that he is going to remarry his wife. T love him devotedly. I cannot give him up. I am on the point of going to the town where he is,' etc. More fog. more blindness produced | by emotion!

Tt is fine that you have that extra work. If we do things as others do them 1t will mean additional ex- pense." She smiled with satisfaction.
 That very day John had taken on extra work. He really had done all he should before. But Marcia want ed so many things. he longed so to see her happy-the gay, light heart ed Marcia he had married-that he couldn't bear to leave undone any thing that might even remotely con- tribute to her happiness.
 He had the same mistaken idea most men entertain. He thought he knew the woman he married. No man ever knows his wife until the honeymoon is a thing of the past isn't it so?

BoSTON-Girls, cut the "baby vamp" pose and the fashionable slump. If you don't they'll rob you of health and beauty and-of a shapely back.
 That's what Dr. R. Kendriclx Smith says. He's a leading osteopath and director of the National League for the Prevention of Spinal Curva- ture.
 Right now Smith is putting on nationwide bare back" contest to find the woman with the most per 'ect back in America. And, more important to him, he'll have the chance to study healthy backs and prove osteopathic doctrines now pooh-poohed by the older schools of medicine.
 Here are some back facts from Dr. Smith:
 If a woman slouches in her chair and sits on that portion of her back between her shoulder blades and the base of her spine, she's counting trouble. Most girls sit that way.
 And most women suffer from spine defects-even some with beau tiful backs.

once inside of that he would have nothing to fear. But he was angry clear through to think that he should be cheated out of that dinner he had been so sure of only few minutes before. So be screamed angrily at old Redtail, and then, watching his chance. scampered out to the hollow and whisked inside just in the nick of time.
 Chatterer, watching from the spruce tree. gave a great sigh of re- lief. He saw Redtail the Hawk post himself on the top of a tall tree where he could keep watch of that hollow in which Shadow had disap peared, and he knew that it would be a long time before Shadow would dare poke even his nose outside. Then as soon as he was rested Chat terer stole softly, oh, so softly, away through the tree tops until he was sure that Redtail could not see him. Then he hurried. Yes, indeed, he hurried then. He wanted to get just as far away from Shadow the Weasel as he could.

the writer's pleasure during the past
several days to visit Gallup on our
east and Flagstaff on our west, and
the very impression first given of
their paved streets was so compare
lively bad with our memory of the
streets of WinIow that there was
no further argument needed, if such
had been necessary, to make unani-
nous our wishes for street paving
here. The city council has met with
many difficulties and much opposi-
ton, all of which we will grant to
have been sincere, but now that the
question is coming up in new form,
it is hoped that the past difficulties
and opposition will have been re-
moved and that clear sailing will be
afforded the council to obtain for the
city the paving which the city GER
tainly needs to remove it from the
catalogue of country towns.

The Arizona Electric company re-
ports the replacement of As street
lamps during the month of October.
Of this number, much the greater
rortion were breakages rsulted from
the use of beannies, air guns, ETC.,
in the hands of the presumed mis-
chievious urchen. While it is to be
expected that the youngster will be
mischievious, the destruction of pro-
perty and the putting out of street
lights is criminal. The laws of Ari-
zona make the parents or guardian
responsible for the acts Of the child.
Morally the parent is responsible
but there are MANY cases where the
enforcement of the statute is requir-
ed to make the moral law effective.
The very fact that such law was
passed is proof of this condition. The
Arizona Electric company are offer-
ing a reward for the arrest and con-
viction of those guilty of the break
ing of street lamps whether child or
parent.
