But such speeches only made him
fiddle the faster.
though he had been silent enough
during all the spring.
He had dug himself hole in the
ground, under some straw that was
scattered near the barn; and every
night, from midsummer on, he came
out and made merry.
But in the daytime he was usually
quiet as a mouse, sitting inside his
hole and doing nothing at all except
to wait patiently until it should be
dark again, so that he might crawl
forth from his hiding place and take
up his music where he had left it
unfinished the night before.
Somehow he always knew exactly
where to begin. Although he carried
nc sheets of music with him, he
never had to stop and wonder what
rote to begin on, for the reason that
he always fddled on the same one.
When rude people asked Chirpy
Crickct-as they did now and then
why he didn't change his tune, he
always replied that person couldn't
change anything without taking time
And since he expected to make only
a short stay in Pleasant Valley he
didn't want to fritter away any prec-
ious moments.
Chirpy Cricket's neighbors soon
noticed that he carried his fiddleI
with him everywhere he went. And
the curious ones asked him ques-
ton. "Why"-they inquired-"why
are you forever taking your fiddle
with you?"
And Chirpy Cricket reminded
them that the summer would be
gone almost before anybody knew
it. He said that when he wanted to
play time he didn't intend to waste
-anss valuable time hunting for his
fiddle.
Now, all that was true enough.
But it was just as true that he
couldn't have left his fiddle at home
anyhow. Chirpy made his music
with his two wings. He rubbed a
fle-like ridge of one on rough part
Of the other. So. his fddle--if you
could call it by that name-just nat
urally had to go wherever he did.
Cr-r-r-i! r-r-i! cr-r-r-i! When that |
shrill sound, all on one note, rang
out in the night everybody that |
heard it knew that Chirpy Cricket
was saving out his odd music. And
the warmer the night the faster he
played. He liked warm weather. !
Somehow it seemed to make him |
feel especially lively.
People who wanted to be dis
agreeable were always remarking in
Chirpy Cricket's hearing that they
hoped there would be an early frost. |
They thought of course he would
know they were tired of his music |
and wished he would keep still.
But such speeches only made him
fiddle the faster. "An early frost!"
he would exclaim. "I must hurry |
if I'm to finish my summers fd-
ding"
Now, Chirpy had dozens and doz-
ems of relations living in holes of
their own, in the farmyard or the
fields. And the gentlemen were all
musical. Like him, they were fd-
dlcrs. Somehow fddling ran in their
family. So on warm nights, during !
the last half of the summer, there
was sure to be a Crickets' concert.
Sometimes it seemed to johnnie |
Green. who lived in the farmhouse,
as if Chirpy Cricket and his relations
were trying to drown the songs of
the musical Frog family, over in the
swamp.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
BY MILDRED MARSHALL

According to the stars, this is a
day when accidents will be many un-
less great precaution is taken to
avoid them. And an ancient super
stition attributes to the tourmaline
the power to divert such disasters.
The tourmaline is the birthstone of
those whose natal day this is. and if
worn on the little finger is credited
with power to bring its wearer riches
and high position in the world. 1t
is also believed to have the power
of bringing the gift of social leader
ship to women.
Today's lucky color is dark blue,
which brings its wearer self-cinfi-
dence and perfect poise.
Success attained through coneen-
tration and earnest effort is achieved
by those who wear the, white rose
today, if an ancient legend is to be
believed.

it not be possible for me to get up?
Marion will be sure to ask for me,
and I want to be able to hold her.
The physician studied her face for
an instant without answering, then
put his finger upon her pulse. At
the emo of seemingly jnternlinable
minute he spoke with chsertulness
which / felt somehow was forced.
"You are a marvel, Mrs Under
wood, enough to upset arv physi-
clan theories. Yes, you may get
Up provided you will be very quiet
and careful"
Thank you. / will be most do
cile. May ask one question:"
Did / fancy that into his usually
inscrutable eyes flashed a troubled
expression?
"Yes. l do not promise to answer
it."
II know it is an unreasonable ques-
tion, butt cannot help asking it.
Have you any idea when-when-
she will awaken?"
II wish could tell you" His
deep voice was vibrant with SYM
pathy. "But that is something be-
yond any human power to ascer-
tain. 1t may be hours, or"-he hesi-
tated perceptibly-"she may recover
consciousness at any minute"
Was there something telepathic
in the uneasiness l was sure he
was concealing. At any rate, Lii
Ian looked at him quickly, spoke
sharply.
'Dr. Pettitl What is it you fear"
His professional mask was per-
fectly adjusted in an instant.
The Truth.
II have no reason to fear anything
especial" he said formally. But. of
course, I cannot guarantee that there
are no internal injuries until after she
awakens."
l knew that he would not have
told many mothers this, but that he
realized how keen are Lillian's per-
ceptions, and that the truth was the
best thing in her case. She justi-
fed his judgment by making no out
cry. I saw her under lip pulled
cruelty between her teeth, but her
head went up as bravely as that of
any soldier facing battle.
"Such injuries are-probable-or
possible?" she asked.
"Only possible" he hastened to
assure her "In fact"
"Dr. Petit"
The low-toned voice of Miss Jones
brought us all to Our feet. The physi-
clan was first at Marion's side. She
was moving her head and hands
slightly. DR.. Petit took Lillian's
arm and gently pushed her to posi-
ton where Marion's eyes would rest
upon her face first. And then the
heavily fringed lashes lifted, and the
child's eyes looked straight into the
hungry ones so like them.
"Mother" she breathed satis6edly.

Petit.
Exhausted by the strain to which
her whole nervous system had been
subjected, Lillian slept most of the
afternoon, slept fitfully, it is true,
rousing often to fix her eyes upon
Marion's still unconscious face on
the cot next hers, but, l think, rest
fully, for as the hours wore on her
voice became stronger, and the ter
rifying gray look left her face.
That there was yet danger some
where | knew from the attitude of
Miss Jones, the tall, efficient nurse
whom DR.. Petit had left in charge.
Not once during the entire afternoon
did she leave the room. She sat with
her eyes fixed upon Marion, although
l saw her gaze straying to Lillian
now and then, and l knew that
nothing in either patients condition
would escape her. She evidently
had me in charge, also, for she in
sisted upon my eating a light but
nourishing luncheon and later in the
afternoon ordered a pot of hot tea
for me.
My mind was freed from all anxi-
ETY. about Junior. DR.. Pettit-who
had accompanied him home, and had
returned to the hospital Immediately
in his own car, which he had left
at the Ticer farm-reported him in
perfectly satisfactory condition.
He is leading his fond relatives
dance, but they all evidently enjoy
waiting on him, so you need not
worry in the least about him." he
said to me in low tone on his first
visit to the room after his return.
But | saw that even as he spoke he
kept his eyes upon Marion, and I
feared that he was more uneasy
about her than his assurance to Lii
liam signihed. And the fear grew
upon me as he drew a chair to the
side of the child's bed, and while pre-
tending to read, patiently for lillian's
assurance when she awakened, kept
watchful vigil over the unconscious
child.
What Is It You Fear7"
The sun was low when Lillian,
apon waking, failed to doze off again,
and looked cheerfully, resolutely at
the physician.
"Dr. Petit" Her voice was low,
scarcely whisper, but it held the
old dominant note. and / knew that
her marvellous vitality and will-power
were functioning again.
Yes, Mrs. Underwood He rose
and went around to the other side
OF her cot, so that her eyes would
rest on him instead of Marion. As
he moved, Miss Jones took his place
at the child's side, and l realized that
there was an unspoken agreement
between them, that the little patient
should not have a single second un-
watched.

In early times the notes of music

REAL TROUBLE THIS TIME
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE

REAL TROUBLE THIS TIME
In wanton Cleopatra's day,
When wild Egyptian blades
Trod measures somewhat over gay
With slim and sinuous maids,
Reformers viewed with cold disdain
The glides, and trots and clogs,
And cried, "The world, it's very plain
Is going to the dogs"
But when the Romans came, they found
The world was calmly going round.
When Nero played frantic jazz
While Rome was burning down,
Men cried, "This sinful city has
Been one loose-moraled town.
II people aren't more circumspect
These dancing drinking folk
Are going to the deuce direct
And that's no funny joke"
But when the Goths and Vandals came
The world was going round the same.
Today we view with some alarm
The morals Of our time
And fear they'll lead our youth to harm
And turn their thoughts to crime.
loose living has become fad,"
We say, "and there's no doubt
The world is going to the bad
IF folks don't cut it out"
And If you roam round much at night
You'll likely think that we are right!

ripped apart before dyeing. Innings
and trimmings should be removed,
also all folds, tucks, and hens. Ma
terlals must be weighed. then washed
well in soap and water, for grease
and dust spots are not covered up by
dyeing. Rinse well. Use lukewarm
water for wool or silk. Dissolve the
dyestuff thoroughly in clean
enameled basin. mixing first with only
a small amount of hot water and grad
ually adding more water. Strain part
of the dye through two thicknesses of
cheesecloth into a clean dye kettle OF
enamel or agate. If possible, contain
ing three gallons of cold water for
every pound of material. Add more
dye gradually. Be careful not to start
with too strong a dye bath, as 1t is
difficult to tighten the color when once
fixed.
For cotton material add salt equal
in weight TO one-ffth of the weight of
the material to be dyed. For wool
or silk dye add the same proportion OF
salt and also Mt least two tablespoon
fuls of strained vinegar for every
pound of material. The acid breaks
up the dye so that 1t penetrates more
readily into the material. Stir con-
stantly. Test the shade of the dye
on a sample of the same material be-
fore putting it all in. Remember
that 1t will be darker when wet.
To Dye Evenly.
Before immersing the material stir
the cold dye bath thoroughly and wet
the goods, otherwise 1t will dye un-
evenly. Keep the material in motion
In the dye bath to prevent spots,
streaks and heat wrinkles, which can
not be pressed out. Gradually heat
the kettle to the boiling point, and
boil the material at least One-half hour.
Boiling deepens the shade. Dye pen
etrates more quickly into soft mate
rials than into those made of hard.
twisted threads. If the material Is al
lowed to cool in the dye kettle the
shade will be deeper and the dye
more fast.
Rinse thoroughly in cold water un-
til the water remains clear. This pre-
vents crocking. Use two old broom
sticks with rounded ends to press out
the dye from the pieces. Use wiring
er (Which should be washed thorough
ly afterwards) for larger garments
Shake the material until nearly dry
and hang it In the shade. Press care
fully.

The method of making dill pickles
differs from that of making salt
pickles in two important particulars
n much weaker brine is use6, and
spices are added chiefly dill, accord
ing to food specialists of the United

entire stalk of the dill herb Is used.
Because of the weaker salt concentra-

only half the time required for or
binary brined pickles, but measures to
prevent spoilage are necessary.
In making pickles straight-slded

pose.
In the bottom of the jar place

I'm two or three inches of the top with
washed cucumbers of uniform size.
Add another one-half ounce OF spice
and layer of dill. If obtainabie, place
a layer of grape leaves over the top.
They may be placed both at the DOT
