ANDREW AND
 IMOGENE
By ROE FULKERsON

When Andrew came home from the office he brought a small pot in which bloomed half a dozen hya- cinths, and their perfume filled the room. Imogene buried her face in tkem and exclaimed:
 "oh. aren't they delicious?"
 Yep" replied Andrew sympathet- icaIly They smelled so good on the car coming home believe I could have eaten them if had had some salt and pepper"
 Imogene looked hurt. But the odor. isn't it perfectly lovely? An drew. I think the ingenuity of man is something marvellous. Just to think that this fleeting perfume has been extracted and can be put in bottles. Just think of preserving the subtle perfume of the violet. Why, it fairly brings the woods into one's home.
 Then the accomplish shments of man have not ceased there. What he has done to the perfume of the wild flow CTS. he has done to the woods sounds. The photograph and the violin can reproduce the bird notes perfectly, and am sure that some day we will go to the theatre and when there is a woodland scene on the stage we shall hear the swish of the wind through the trees. smell the violets and wild flowers and hear the bird notes, and the reproduction will be absolute. Isn't 1t wonder ful?"

feniily would move on to other parts of the Green Forest where beech trees grew, and where they could find plenty of the little sweet, brown nuts without having to hunt and hunt for them. So as he curled up In his bed that night Chatterer was well content. He had gathered his full share that day. There were still many scattered nuts which he could find at his leisure with only his two cousins, Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel and Rusty Jack, the Fox Squirrel. to share them with. Best of all there was that find he had made that day, that hole between the roots of an old stump filled to the brim with little, sweet, brown three sided nuts.
 Findings keepings. he chuckled over and over. Bindings keepings. don't know whether Happy Jack or Rusty put them there and I don't care. I know who is going to take them out of there, and I know some one is going to be surprised, very greatly surprise. when they go to get them. I'll be out of bed by sun up tomorrow and TIT move those nuts over to one of my storehouses the very first thing"
 Chatterer was as good as his word about getting up the next morning. He always is an early riser. but this morning he was earlier than usual He wanted to get those nuts moved before there was any chance that their real owner would come around.

 What is true of painters Is also true of the ginks you are talking about who are trying to preserve the smells of mature and reproduce the sounds of birds for a future genera ton. Don't talk to me about dis tllllng altar of roses which takes an acre of posies to make one drop of tho perfume, which goes on the hand kerchief and make a whole harem smell like the acre of roses had been moved fin bodily.
 Why couldn't that fellow set his wits to work and carefully corral the smell of a bakery about 2 o'clock Tn the morning. when hungry newspaper men arc vending their way to their palatial flats and disgusted poker players raise their noses like hungry dogs and sniff the air. There's d perfume that would make it's bottler more famous that all the smell bot tiers who have lived since Adam sniffed the red apple Eve game him in Eden

Let him get the muffled tntinnabulatiou of tho grease as 1t hits the tin lid Ida puts on the top of the skillet 10 keep tho grease off tho kitchen floor. and the rising crescendo as she raises the lid to turn over the wishbone and keep it from burning. Let this great artist add to this feast of song the odor and perfume that gushes out as she opens the oven door from time to time to sec if the biscuits have Drowned Bless my soul. the combination of that sound and the scent is enough to raise the dead.
 If any pill shooter ever tiptoes out of my bedroom and tells you in low breath that I have passed to my great reward. you just go down to tho kitchen and bring up hot biscuit and hold 1t under my nose, and if don't snap at it, just say, Under taker, do your duty. I'm widder."
 Don't be impatient, dear" said Imogene. Dinner will soon be ready"

 And won't you tell me who The Bat is?" I begged again.
 Please don't ask me-" she begged.
 But honestly, I'm not one of those pests and bores who sit in tho seat just back of you at the thrilling mys- tery play and in a loud, ringing voice shouts out to everybody near by what the plot is and how the play is going to end, and I haven't sister who Is an elocutionist and gives recitals, nor yet another who writes free verse, but I'm just a regular girl and.

| Usually he's rather noisy when he awakes. He dearly loves the sound of his own voice, But this morning he didn't make sound. No. sir, he didn't make a sound. He was bent on mischief and you know one bent on mischief tries not to be seen or heard
 Straight for that old stump where he had found that store of nuts the day before Chatterer ran, and as he ran he chuckled. It was a naughty little chuckle. He knew that the thing he was planning to do was wrong, but he didn't care. He thought himself very smart
 Somebody Is going to be sur prised.' he kept saying over and over to himself Somebody is going to be surprised when they come for those nuts and find that hole empty. I hope I'll be around to see them. Yes, sir. somebody Is going to be surprised"
 Chatterer was right Somebody was surprised. Yes, indeed, somebody was surprised. but that somebody wasn't the one Chatterer had thought 1t would be. Straight to that old stump he raced and as he drew near he looked sharply this way and that way and the other way to mako sure no one was about to sec him. He didn't see sign of any one and he chuckled again. Then he hurried straight to the place between the two roots where that hole was.
 It was there. Of course. No one could take a hole away. But some one got great surprise just as he had expected. but that some one was Chatterer himself. That hole was emnfvf Vas sir that hoIe was euDty The leaves that had covered 1t had been pulled away and there wasn't SO much as one little, sweet. brown nut in that hole. Chatterer couldn't believe his own eyes.

SOMEONE WAS SURPRISE

Surprises sometimes work both ways, To laugh beforehand seldom pays.

 The beeshnut feast at that particu- lar grove of beech trees lasted just one day. You see there were so many picking up and feasting on those little, sweet, brown, three-sided nuts that by the time jolly, round, red MT. Sun was ready to go to bed be- hind the Purple Hills and Old Mother West Wind had gathered her chil- dren, the Merry Little BreezeSi into her big bag for the night there were very few of those little nuts left oh the ground and these were so hidden that they had to be hunted for. There would be many stray little nuts picked up under those trees for days to come, but the great feast there was over.
