wasn't any Earnum production. but
it suited US all right. Billy White
made dandy coyote when he crawled
around under that old skin his Uncle
Fred had shot that fall. His voice
was changing and you'd have sworn
he was a real coyote. BY the same
simple expedient. Fat Haley became
a brown bear, and Red Higgins a
mountain goat. Snakes were easy.
Our garden was full Of garter ones,
and Phil took the part Of charmer in
dads union suit and my beads. And
then, suddenly. Jim Tarbox appeared
with a zebra! OF course, we all knew
it was only our little white mule
painted with stripes Of liquid shoe
blacking, but the veldt of Africa
never produced a more perfect speci-
men. That zebra was such a bowling
success that we promptly raised the
admission price to three fish worms
and a Baldwin apple.
For a time our financial state was
positively hectic. Kids poured in
from all over town to see our zebra.
And then it rained. 1t rained. and
our main exhibit went fuzzy! All his
beautiful. shoe backing stripes
dripped away in a smudge. and there
he was--plain liz ole white mule
again.
Yes, that school Of charm is a great
idea. I haven't a doubt it will pro-
duce some wonderful effects. II only
if only the colors don't run.

black line was. He looked over at

and headed straight in toward that

Almost without thinking, Blacky

he shrieked at the top of his lungs.

began to climp up. up, up. the other
ducks following him. until, as they
passed over the hidden hunter. they
were so high it was useless for h m

aim at them. but he didn't shoot. You

the flock turned and started off in
the direction from which they had
come and in a few minutes they were

Blacky headed straight for the
Green Forest. chuckling as he flew.
He knew that those ducks would not
return until after dark. He had saved
them this time. and he was SO happy
he didn't even notice the Black Shad-
ows. And the hunter stood up and
shook his fist at Blacky the Crow.

It's my innins now, and when I'm fin

fectly even between you and Inez, for
ever and ever-a-men
With trembling, awkward fingers
Priscilla began to pluck at the but
tons of her blouse.
Inez retreated to the table, picked
up the glass and ratified the ice mu-
sically within it.
Hurry, dear heart"
Priscilla removed coat and blouse
and stepped out of her skirt, then lift
ed her hands for the glass. Her tor
mentor warned her off.
"Wait-a-min-ute You're forget
tin them rings"
Silently the girl stripped her fin
gers, dropping their jewels into the
greedy palm. Nothing mattered, so
that she earned that drink of water.
But yet once again was she put off.
"Don't crowd me so! I might get
nervous and spill somethin'. .

when Harry or someone IL bump in

let you keep them :"
For an instant, indeed, the woman
seemed disposed to repent of that
generosity, eyeing Priscilla's under
garments of lace and tilmy silk. In
fumbling haste Priscilla covered them
with the cheap and none too clean
cotton blouse, the shoddy and ILL
fashioned coat and skirt which Inez
had brought her.
At long last she had her reward. At
first in frantic gulps, then more slowly
If with no less avidity, she drained
the glass: while Inez at the bed
snatched up and packed under her
arm the spoils of this her first victory
over her rival.
"Well, how about it, Nora? Feelin'
chirpier?" she inquired with magma
nimity when Priscilla put down the
empty glass.

uncertainty toward the bed. Too late
she was realizing that the glass had
held something more than mere water.

mouth. The sounds, when at length
they came, were unrecognizable as
her own voice.

Momentarily the other seemed of a

because she saw she would get no sat

decided to indulge her.

softly. Then, seeing Inez posed with
her back to it, large goblet of thick
glass held high, the girl lurched to
her feet and toward her.

With a quick movement Inez placed
the glass on the little table and met
Priscilla with straight-arm blow or
