You see he was found the home of Drummer the Wcodpecker and from It twice stolen eeautiful white egg. Then, as if shat were not bad enough, he had told a wrong story. He had told Drummer that the thief was Sammy Jay.
 Now an untruth Is bad enough in stseiS. but one untruth usually leads to another and sometimes to deeds that are even worse. It was SO with Chztterer. He wasn't satisfied with telling Drummer that Sammy Jay was the thief. No, sir, he wasn't aatisfied with that. As soon as he saw that Drummer believed him he began to plan how he could steal again without being found out and put the blame on Sammy Jay. He knew where Sammy Jay lived and he
  Sammy was somewhere else. Just as he had hoped. he found a blue and white feather on the ground, and with this he hurried home as fast as he could go.
 The next morning Chatterer was hiding in the old orchard bright and earsy- He waited until MT. and Mrs. Drummer left their home for a few minutes while they got their break fast Then looking this way and that way to make sure that no one saw him. Chatterer whisked into the hol- low which was the home of MT. and Mrs. Drummer. and in a flash was out again with the beautiful white do you think he had left behind him !? Why that blue and white feather of Sammy Jays which he had found the day before Of course when Drum mer the Woodpecker came back he saw that feather right away, and. of course he was sure then that Sammy Jay was the thief just as Chatterer had said It was then that Drummer had led all the birds of the old or chard in driving Sammy Jay out.
 Those stolen eggs had tasted so good to Chafterer that he made up his mind that he must have some more He felt sure that after being robbed twice Drummer would keep a very close watch. so he must think of some plan to get Drummer and Mrs Drummer away from their home at che same time. As he sat chuckling wfckedly over the trouble he had made for Sammy Jay a new idea came to him. He would send a mes enge to Drummer early the next morning saying that Sammy Jay was in another part of the old orchard and that he was boasting that he wasn't afraid of Drummer the Wood becker
 That will start Drummer off in hurrv and I wouldn't be surprised if

 But to be poor gracefully! To be poor without self consciousness, without apology. without condescend- ing to think about it! To serve meat loaf and cake with the manner of quail and exotic fruits, to line up one's s guests with dish towels and have a lot of fun-of such is the true aris- tocracy!

Mrs. Drummer went, too," thought Chatterer.
 So the very next morning Chatterer sent word by Jenny Wren that Sammy Jay was over in the far cor ner of the old orchard hoasting of what he was going to do to Drummer the Woodpecker. Of course Drum mer started off in hot haste.
 Now it just happened that Sammy Jay did pass through that part of the old orchard at that very time. He was minding his own business when who should come after him shrieking Thief! Thief" but Rrummer. the Woodpecker, and immediately all the other birds in the orchard joined him.
 Of course Sammy yelled back at them. No sooner did Mrs. Drummer hear his voice that she left her home unguarded to join the chase of Sam my Jay. This was Chatterer's chance and once more he breakfasted on a newly laid egg. while Sammy Jay was being driven back to the Green Forest in disgrace.

 I had hardly gotten to my desk the next morning when I was summoned to the chiefs sanctum.
 The call did not surprise me, for I had had to confer frequently with him of late about matters that was winding up preparatory to leaving.
 But now I did not want to leave, since it was impossible for me to take that position with Edith's father, and I was busy trying to think of a present job without humiliating my self too much.
 Tom" began the chief, and was somewhat surprised. for I had been MT. Howard" ever since the slump ly decided to leave us--I mean is there any chance of your changing your mind."
 That was startling question. for had determined not to leave the firm if I could possibly help it.
 I was about to reply, and I prob ably would have spoiled everything if had done so. Very luckily for me, the chief went right on talking:
 T have asked you that because if you have not signed contract with your new company should like to talk the matter over with you"
 No, I haven't signed any con- tract" l told him, and now I had sense enough not to say any more.

 After all, can elaboration ever be as really dignified as unaffected sim plicity? There is the crux of the problem. which with high prices and unobtainable domestic help most of us are up against today-being poor gracefully. It is simplicity.
 There is nothing more incongruous, more unsuccessful than the attempt of d woman inadequately equipped to ape the elaborate menu or the form ality of hotel or a large establish ment. On the other hand, by at tempting nothing beyond our pow CTS, by adhering to the strictest sim plicity We can gain from our limita- tions the added charm of coziness and informality.

 "But I'm to receive $6o00 in my new position"
 I haven't the least idea where got the nerve to say that. It was sheer bluff, for the other job was as dead as a dodo-for me. I almost held my breath waiting to see what the chief would have to say.
 don't know what I would have done if he had simply said. Well, we can't meet that figure and thus ended the interview.
 But he didn't. He studied for a while and then smiled. If you're worth that much to them. I guess you're worth that much to us.
 Lets call it an understandlng. Six thousand dollars year and three year contract. I'll have it ready for you to sign this afternoon"
 "Only a one-year contract" ob- jected. "I expect to be worth more after another year."
 ssWe,ll split the difference and make it for two years" the chief said.
 I pretended to consent reluctantly, but it was hard to walk out of the chiefs office without dancing. As soon as possible I made some excuse to leave the building so as to be able to call up Dot from an outside booth and tell her the good news.
