CHAPTER CLXXI.

Neal leaped to his feet and stood rigid
at attention.
Fifteen minutes before had seen
Phoebe standing like this with the jade
necklace lying at her feet. And now,
with my heart feeling as If it were
cIamped to the middle of my throat,
turned, knowing what to expect.
Above sophisticated center parting
her hair was drawn from her little ears
and piled high In great puffs of curls
From those ears, redeemed slightly at
the lobes. hung her Jade earrings Her
lips and cheeks were Redeemed too, and
her wide. wistful eyes were narrowed
and hardened by the black lines drawn
under them to elongate them. She had
wrapped herself in my coral-colored Peig-
noir and over it hung her Jade neck
lace.
She looked very beautiful and very
worldly and very ridiculous, poor baby
Neal stood staring at her, and for
second she stared back.
And Phoebe came forward, both hands
swung out IN a welcome that lost all
SAVIOR and flavor for the words that rem
dered 1t meaningless. Lieutenant Hy-
land! This is a nice surprise" she said
in one of those near cordial voices that
sound like a smothered yawn.
Still Neal stared at her, far too much
the boy to make this out. and far too
honest to pretend that he understood
what was Greek to him.
Phoebe flung up her. arms with an &C
companying shrug of the shoulders that
a motion picture director might have
worked long to secure from his star
"vamp."
How embarrassing! The man has for
gotten me-" she cried. Anne, do tell
Lieutenant Hyland that he has met me
before"
I wanted to take her by the shoulders
and shake her. I wanted to cry out:
Zine amateur theatricals! II you've
been rehearsing for them for the last
month, consider that you've made a tri-
umphant hit in this new role and spare
us more"
"Oh, rhoebew cried Neal.
1t was fairly wrung from him. and the
honest longing of 1t seemed certain to
break down the barriers of PhOebes hurt
pride If I decided to get out of the room
and leave them alone to find each other
again.

Mrs. Hooper had a much more difficult
time than she anticipated in finding
what she wanted for Helen's dress at

she did come upon a remnant Of organdy

little trimming it would need she had in
her scrap bag and the simple One-piece

PUsS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory


Don't cry, Mrs. Duck, because you
have chicks instead Of ducklings," said
Puss Junior, who, you remember, in the
last story had come to a pond where q
poor mother duck was trying in vain to
get her brood to wade into the water.
Goodness, gracious me-" she ex-
claimed, 81 must have taken Kenny
Jenny's nest and Matched her eggs in
stead OF NINE" and after that she came
out of the water and took her little ones
back to the Old Farm. Maybe she and
Kenny Jenny changed children, so that
she had her little ducklings after all and
Kenny Jenny had her little chickens.
And some day III tell you If the Weather
cock on the Old Barn let's me know.
Well, after that, Puss went on his way
and by and by, after while, he came to
a great hollow tree, only, of course, Puss
didn't know it was hollow. And right
there in front of it stood an ugly Old
witch Her chin crooked up and her nose
crooked down until there was hardly
room between for a piece or bread and
butter to pass.
Good morrow. Sir Cat" said the ugly
old witch.
Good day, my good woman" replied
Puss Junior. "Is this your tree, for
see little door in it just back Of your
skirt"
Eyes. this is my house." she said.
would you like to come in. I have az
wonderful bird to show you"
So Puss went inside the hollow tree
house of the old witch, and the first
thing he saw was a pink and blue bird
in a cage.
''Too wee, too wee, is all sing,
No more I fly on happy wing,
But in this cage I sit all day,
And never have a chance to play"
you poor bird" said little Puss Jun
Tor And then he turned to the old witch
and said. why don't you let the poor
thing gO?"
"Bccause this bird is a princess, my
little cat,' said the wicked witch with d
dreadful grin, which showed all her gums
with only one long tooth. Il have changed
her into this bird, and you had best be
careful or I viii change you into q
mouse"
Wasn't that dreadful thing to hearf
But Puss wasn't afraid, for he knew he
had his magic gold ring with him be-
sides his flaming feather. But, of course,
the wicked old witch didn't know that.
oh. my, no. She thought that after
awhile she would change Puss into 4
mouse or maybe a rat, so she chuckled
to herself and locked the door, and then
she turned with horrible grin and said
to him
