 THORNTON w. BURGESS
JACK FROST ARRIVES
BY THORNTON w. E


 The moon looked down on the Green Forest and the little pond of Paddy the Beaver in the very heart of it, and the Moon smiled, for it was plain to see that Paddy the Beaver was happy. Yes, sir, he was happy. There was no doubt about it. For the time being he had forgotten all about his worries regarding Farmer Browns boy. He couldn't have told you just now, but somehow he knew that Jack Frost would arrive that very night and Paddy was preparing for him. You see it was this way: To make that splendid house of his out in his pond as stout and safe and good as he wanted it to be Paddy needed the help of Jack Frost, and so he had been waiting and watching for him. So now that he was sure that Jack Frost would arrive that very night he was working very hard to be ready for him.
 What was Paddy doing? Why, he was putting more mud on the walls and roof of his house, digging it up from the bottom of his pond and plastering it on thick. He knew it would remain soft and wet all night If Jack Frost didn't arrive before morning. Then when he did arrive it would be all ready for him to freeze until it was almost as hard as stone. So he worked and worked as hard as ever he could and patted and smoothed the mud down on the walls and roof of his house andGhoped that Jack Frost would come early enough round, red Mir. Sun would not be able to undo it with his warm rays the next morning.
 The little stars looked down and twinkled as they watched Paddy work, and they were very, very bright By and by way over in the Green Forest where the black shad- ows were blackest, Paddy heard stick snap. He sat upon the roof of his house to listen. Who was com ing? It couldn't be Old Man Coyote, for who ever knew him to be so care less as to snap a twig? No, it couldn't be Old Man Coyote. It might be Farmer Browns boy, but somehow Paddy felt sure that Farmer Browns boy would never come way up there in the Green Forest in the night. No, it couldn't be Farmer Browns boy. He listened with both little ears wide open There it was again, the snap of a stick Paddy smiled There was no doubt now of who was coming. It was Jack Frosti No One else loved  as does Jack Frost Nearer and nearer came the sound of snapping sticks and broader and broader grew the smile of Paddy the Beaver. But now he no longer sat idly listening. He was at work harder than ever clustering mud on the roof of his house.
 And so Jack Frost found him and chuckIed as he blew his cold, cold T . ' rsesxr~ stiff and stiffer and then hard. And Paddy chuclxled as he brought up the mud and saw it harden almost as soon as 1t was put in place. for they are very good friends are Paddy the Beaver and Jack Frost.
 I'm glad you've come." cried Paddy.
 I'm glad that some one is glad that I've come,'' replied Jack Frost,

TINY BOY A DEPUTY SHERIFF

Youngest deputy sheriff in the his tory of California is Richard Head rick, 4 years old, just appointed to the office of the law by Sheriff Traeger.
 Wearing shiny new badge with his chest inflated to proportions that threaten his waist buttons, Richard is the newest enemy of crime to be added to the sheriff's force.
 In making the appointment Sheriff Traeger followed a new line in the policy behind the rigorous campaign against criminals and deeds without the law. Believing that the law in spires respect through its visible presence, he decided to choose a ju- venile deputy as a means of im- pressing upon the younger minds of the community a feeling of confi- dence and admiration for the govern ment.
 So Richard, a Los Angeles product, juvenile swimming champion of the Pacific coast and well known as a child star of the screen, was chosen for the office.-Los Angeles Express.

SAYS WEST ISN'T PASSING"

Uetter to Editor of the New Re public.)
 Sir: In a recent issue of your paper was printed an article on "The Passing of the West" As a resident of the great and almost unknown (to eastern writers) Southwest, was rather astounded at the ignor- ance of the subject therein displayed. In this day and age of turmoil, un-. rest, reds and slaughter of ideals, political bickbiting and universal ly ing, one can at least expect the truth about the country one lives in, so at least I thought until I read the above mentioned article.
 If the writer will venture over into New Mexico I can personally show him any amount of scenery, untram- meled by the shining "bands of steer' he mentions. Show him the great, vast open spaces. unfenced; miles of broad, flat fertile mesas upon which baldfacedf cattle still graze. Lofty mountains, their rich storehouses un- touched; streams unclaimed to the wheels of commerce, and over all

SUCCESSFUL BUTTER MAKING
Work Is Not Difficult, but scrupulous
Cleanliness Must Be Observed
at Every Stage.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The best foods in the world are
available to the farm home which
cares to raise and prepare them. Good
butter freshly churned several times
week Is one Of the luxuries incident
to life on the farm, and more than re-
pays the home butter maker for the
trouble involved. The work Is not diff
flcult, but scrupulous cleanliness must
be observed at every stage. All uten-
sils should be washed and scalded be-
fore and after churning.
The first consideration is the cream,
which should contain about 30 per cent
butterfat. A gallon Of cream Of this
standard will yield about three pounds
of butter. It Is better to churn the
cream, not the whole milk. The cream
should be cooled Immediately after It
comes from the separator and kept as
cold as possible until the time for
ripening, which should be done at
temperature between IS degrees Fab
renheit and Is degrees Fahrenheit.
When the cream Is mildly soar, II
should be cooled to churning tempera-
ture or below and held so for at least
two hours before churning begins.
Successful butter-maklng depends
largely on the temperature at which
churning Is done, but there Is no one
temperature proper for every season
Of the year. Churning Is mechanical
process, and If 1t Is done under the
same conditions on one day as on an
other the results should be Identical.
The temperature Is the factor which
must be varied to get uniform results.
There Is nothing in the old supersti-
lions regarding butter-making, such as
turning the churn backwards or put
ting a horseshoe nail into 1t to make
the butter come. If the temperature
Is too low, the churning period Is I'M
necessarily prolonged, or it may be
impossible to obtain butter. Too high
churning temperature is also to be
avoided because butterfat will be lost,
the butter will be soft and Will not
keep well.
Butter will come In ten minutes at
too high a churnlng temperature, or
even In seven. with some patent

Physicians have found that mental

bile of cushions, and a black luster
bowl held the frail narcissus in the
window.
Camilla sitting down at the table
pouring tea into clear yellow cups,
he suddenly saw as another girl. A
girl removed from her own hard strug-
giles by all the beauty of this charm
Ing room. Why, she must earn more
In a week than he did to have place
like this!
do you like my room?" Camilla
asked.
"Why, yes, It's great" he answered,
but there was no heartiness in his
voice, and Camilla wondered If the tea
/ was bad.
When he went at last she flung her.
self down on the couch and for some
unconscious reason chOked her sObs
in the yellow pillow.
For a month Camilla scarcely saw
the owner of the room on the second
floor. When she did meet him by
chance, he hurried past her with an
abrupt "Good mornlng" that was
worse than chilly.
She wished she didn't live In the
same house with him, she wished she
didn't have to pass him any more, or
hear his footsteps dumping up the
stairs.
"Of course, l just liked him." Ca
milla told herself, and then she took
refuge on her couch and scOlded her
self sternly for the lump In her throat
and the ache In her heart.
But once when she climbed the two
flights of stairs and saw that Andy's
door was open and strange girl was
standing by the black marble mantel-
piece her heart seemed to be a piece
of lead. She could scarcely drag her
self away.
"Oh, do you live on the floor above?"
the strange girl asked eagerly. 1--WE
seen your room and 1t Is so pretty"
Camilla answered, wondering how
she could go on talking when the bot
tom Of her little world had dropped
out.
Il bought the hangings on Sixth ave-
nue. at sale, and the candlesticks in
Allen street for $1.75; you can find
some secondhand furniture and paint
1t yourself; oh, yes, I'll show you
how" She smiled wistfully and went
on up the stairs.
But the blood thrummed in her ears
madly when she heard dumping steps
behind her. Camilla turned to see
Andy Mcdonald coming toward her
with a bewildered, dawning happiness
In his eyes.
81 heard what you said" he began
without any Introduction. 81 had to
come back. 1 thought I'd go away
and try to forget you-for / know I
couldn't ask a girl with all you had
to marry a poor fellow like me-you
mean 1t, Camilla, you've fixed up that
room out Of nothlng?"
He caught her hand and looked
down into her eyes.
"Don't you know I love your"
But" she whispered.
II was ashamed to ask rich girl
to marry me-" he said as he took her
In his arms.

II Camilla White had not fallen into
his arms, Andy Mcdonald would never
have given her another thought.
He was dumping up the last flight
Of dark, oil-cloth covered stairs, when
he heard little gasp and then some
thing soft and yielding was flung head
hrst into his arms. He caught her as
easily as he had caught the ball when
he was fielder, and having set her on
her feet gently asked in his big voice
with the trace of huskiness In 1t
"Hurt any?"
She breathed quickly, and answered:
II guess you saved my life" there
was just the suggestion of a laugh in
that voice that went straight to Andy's
heart.
"You see, l must have caught my
toe in the oilcloth,' she explained.
Andy thought she had the softest,
sweetest voice he had heard for a
long time. He could not see her face,
1t was white blur But Camilla
knew what he looked like very well.
Andy was big with strong shoulders,
and plain, altogether likable face,
whose only beauty was It's thoughtful
gray eyes.
II think my dinner is forever lost! !"
Camilla said sadly, STOPPING to feel
about the dark stairs.
They found at last the head Of let
tuce, the two rolls still in their bag
and the lemon that was to help make
up the dinner. In the process they
said several things to each other al
together trite and yet somehow most
Illuminating.
So 1t was not strange that the Sec
Ond time Andy ran into the occupant
Of the hall bedroom, he lifted his hat
and stopped to talk a minute.
Her face matched her voice very
well, although it was neither start

grees Fahrenheit and 90 degrees Fab

In barns and approaching end of the
lactation period contribute to this DIFF
ference. If the churn Is not loaded

fast. then butter should come, under
these respective temperatures, In q

when the cream Is strained into the
churn. When butter granules are
formed the size of wheat grains il Is
time to strain Off the buttermilk and
wash the butter In the churn In two
waters of the same temperature az
the buttermilk. The thermometer Is
essential for this, as for all the other
accurate estimates Of temperature In
the various steps Of butter-making.
Three-fourths Of an ounce of salt Is
worked In per pound Of butter. The,
working Of the butter Is a very lmpot-
tant part Of the process and should r.
ceive careful attention. Overworked
butter is sticky, greasy In appearance,
and has gummy grain. Underworked
butter Is very apt to be mottled be-
cause Of the uneven distribution of the
salt.

little too pale and the blue eyes were
q little tired under the level brows.
The third time they met Andy asked
directly: "Would you take a walk

They walked along Fifth avenue,
stopping before the shop windows to
peer In and feeling a part Of all the
thrill and stir Of an afternoon on the
avenue.
Camllla's eyes were shining and she
was actually prettier each time Andy
Mcdonald looked down at her. He felt
In love that afternoon with soft
spoken little stenographer, with
bunch Of violets at her waist and eyes
that were as blue.
The next Saturday 1t rained and
Camilla hesitated and then knocked
at the door on the second floor that
bore the card: Andrew Mcdonald"
II thought you might have tea with
me, it's such a cold, dismal kind Of
afternoon" Camilla offered shyly.
At the answering CLEAN Of pleasure
In his eyes Camilla hurried up the
flight of stairs. She knew 1t would
mean that she must lunch meagerly
for 20 cents all the following week, but
she bought crumpets and toasted them

marmalade-and a spray Of narcissus
to put In the bowl by the window.
She waited for him eagerly and
with a queer futtering expectancy,
wondering IL he would like her hall
bedroom.
At hfs loud rap she opened her door
and smiled at him.
Andy laid down a box OF candy as
he said II brought 1t for the party"
and looked about him curiOusly.
For II was the oldest hall bedroom
ne had ever seen. He had imagined
a room with bureau and an iron
bed, and enough room just to sit on
the one chair. What he saw was
room with two windows and an al
cove, n room that looked sunny In
spite of the fact that 1t was raining,
because the walls were yellow and
charming sunny colored chintz hung
Mt the windows and covered the
cushions of the two brown tinted wick
er chairs.
Cleaning brass candlesticks were on
a table In the corner. a brilliant color
print of blue mountain and an Icy
mountain brook hung over the gray.

PAID FOR MILK WITH SONG
Correspondent Of Youths Companion
Tells Of His Brief Acquaintance
With Singing Mouse.

Entering an Outbuilding one day,
writes a correspondent, saw near q
hole In the floor small, plump mouse,
apparently not yet full grown. Il
seemed scarcely afraid Of me and re-
treated to the hole with so little
haste that l wondered whether I
could tempt II out again with food.
Going back few steps to basin of
table scraps, 1 selected a bit Of cheese
rind and a mOrsel Of cake. Soon after
l had placed the food near the hole
the bold little outlaw appeared and
ate the cheese. Then as he nibbled
the cake he gave me one Of the great
est surprises Of my life-One that
would have amazed me still more IL
had not already read Of that rare ami
NAL. singing mouse.
The song that proceeded from my
little guest as he raised his head
from the cake consisted Of three notes.
The first was low and husky, gut
tural sound that lasted only a few
seconds, that was followed by a sill
very trill on two high notes utterly
beyond reach Of the human voice and
unlike those Of any bird or insect
have ever heard. The fairylike s"ng
lasted at least ten seconds. Then
after brief rest the mouse repeated
1.-THE brief, low note and the pro-
longed trill. When I finally moved
the mouse withdrew to the hole. AL
though the food that l often placed
there afterward always disappeared,
I never saw or heard the mouse
again.-Youth's Companion.
