Little Stories For Bedtime
BLACK PUSSY MISSES A GOOD
 BREAKFAST
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Black Pussy was out very early hunting for her breakfast. Not that she neede to hunt for her breakfast! Oh, my, mol Black Pussy didn't need for a single thing. Every morning Farmer Browns boy filled a saucer with warm fresh milk for her. and every day she had all the meat that was good for her; so there wasn't the least need in the world for her to go hunting. Black Pussy was just like all cats. Lying before the fire in Farmer Browns house, blinking and purring contentedly, she seemed too good-natured and gentle to hurt any one. and all Farmer Browns family said that she was, and believed it. They knew nothing about the empty little nests in the joyful springtime- empty because Black Pussy had found them and emptied them and broken the hearts of little father and mother birds.
 You see, Farmer Browns folks really didn't know Black Pussy. But the little forest and meadow people did. They knew that Black Pussy was just like all cats-fierce and cruel down inside. and they hated Black Pussy. every one of them- They knew that down in her heart was the love of killing, just that same AOf C OA hAltAilS tltdl Is III llft Ol Shadow the Weasel and so they hated Black Pussy If she had to hunt for a living they wouldn't have minded so much, but she didn't have to hunt for a living, and so they hated her twice as much.
 This particular morning Black Pussy had chosen to have a look along the old stonewall on the edge of the Old Orchard. Many times she had hunted Striped Chipmunk there. She didn't know enough about the ways of the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows to know that this cold weather had sent Striped Chipmunk down into his snug bedroom under ground for a long sleep, so she sneaked along from stone to stone hoping that she would surprise him. She had gone half the length of the old wall, without a sign of anything to catch. when she heard voices that put all thought of Striped Chipmunk out of her head. Crawl ing flat of her stomach to keep out of sight, she softly worked nearer and nearer until, peeping from be- hind big stone in the old wall she could see Chatterer the Red Squirrel Peter Rabbit. and Sammy Jay talk ing so busily. and so much excited that they didn't seem to be paying
 attention to anything else.
 sammy Jay was safe because he
 was sitting on an old apple tree. but 1 Chatterer was on the old wall. and Peter was on the ground Whicf should she catch? Peter would make the biggest and best breakfast, but

ago, had a cholera plauge, she was foremost in the labor of providing hospitals. When her country went into the great war and was. almost wiped out by the German hosts. she worked night and day as a Red Cross nurse. As such she came in contact with thousands of the soldier sons of the nation.
 Whenever she comes to London, she usually slips out of the kingly palace of her cousins and goes shop ping in Bond street, just like any other married woman with a bunch of kids.
 Will Seek Aid
 Her mission in America will be mainly to interest Yankees in Red Cross and other charitable work in Rumania- Tn ecountry has by no means recovered from the tragedy of the war and the powers that be want outside help. Her travelling companion will be the Princess Ileana, one of her younger children, who bids fair to be the beauty of the 1 family.
 1 The Rumanian embassy here tells me there is only one point that makes them doubtful about the date of the queens visit to America being De-
 cember; for various state reasons the king and queen have not yet been
 crowned and this ceremony may not i take place until next fall. In that ! event the queen may postpone her
 visit until next year.

 eYou've said it. Why, John acts like a bear with a sore head if he gets home first. hatT's why I hurry away after we finish playing instead of staying to chat. He doesn't really approve of my playing. you know.
 He used to like game himself.
 That's the funny part of it. He always liked cards. but since I joined the club he scarcely ever plays. He says one gambler in the family is enough.''

Letters To LoUers
SCIENCE FOR LOVERS
By winona Wilcox

To the lovers vocabulary, to every body's vocabulary, a new word has lately been added for common use. It is "psylchology," pronounced 'si- kol-o-gy" with the accent on the second syllable.
 The psychology of dress is an old subject: a shave is closely related to business success and rouge to romance. There's a certain psychol ogy in furnishing a house, we are told by artists. Domestic science experts say that the appearance of food affects the consumer psycho- logically. The morale of the soldier is a matter of psychology.
 And lovers, true or false, are either one or the other for reasons which psychology alone can explain.
 Psychology is the science of the mind. It explains why we are what we are, why we do what we do. The mind, acting consciously or uncon- sciously, is behind human behavior, except when it is automatic. as in breathing. Therefore psychology has been called ''the science of human life"
 From the beginning. so the newest branch of the science tells us, man has been ruled by three urges, food, safety, and sex, There are many others, but these dominate the rest
 One authority places the sex urge before all others. but clearer think CTS argue that the food urge comes first, that self maintenance precedes reproduction in the individual life They seem to argue logically, with out food and shelter, the human be- ing perishes and reproduction be- comes impossible.
 Medical science has discovered a variety of germs which thrive ir the human organism and destroy it Most persons who are able to read pride themselves upon a little in- formation about how to avoid disease and how to get well and keep well. It is reasonable to suppose that the same persons would pride them selves still more upon little store l of knowledge about the human in- | stincts, or inherited habits of mind | Some of these habits, if persisted in make for character; and some. i | perverted, destroy the character a: | surely as poisons or toxins destro! ! the body.

 Now. Marcia had no thought of a larger car until after this conversa- ton with Nell French. She had even given up, with many sighs, the idea of changing her coupe for the latest model.

 had great resect for Peters stout hind legs. She would be content to catch Chatterer this morning. She hated him anyway. for he had been very saucy to her many times. He would never make fun of her or call her names again.
 More slowly and carefully than ever Black Pussy stole forward. Her eyes grew yellow with excitement. fierce and cruel At last she reached a place where one good jump would land her on Chatterer. Carefully she drew her feet under her to make the jump. The end of her black tail twitched with eagerness. Just as she got ready to spring there was shriIl scream from sammy Jay. He had caught sight of the moving tip of that tail, and he knew what it meant. Black Pussy sprang. but she was just too late Chatterer had dived head first down between the stones of the old wall at the sound of Sammy's scream. and Peter had dived head first into Johnny Chuck's house. on the doorstep of which he happened to be sitting.
 Black Pussy looked up at Sammy Jay and snarled at him in terrible rage Sammy shrieked at her just as angrily. Then when her head was turned for just an instant he darted down and actually pulled a tuft of hair from her coat and was safely our of the way before she could turn and spring. Then Black Pussy thrust a paw down between the stones where Chatterer had disappeared. She pulled it out again with yowl O. pain, for sharp little teeth had bitten it. Slowly and sullenly Black Pussy turned and limped back toward Kramer Browns house. She sudden ly remembered that saucer of milk. and that that was really all the breakfast she wanted.

 Along came Degory. smooth talk ing. reckless leader of criminal band. And Yeyette became his sweetheart.
 From that 1t was only a short step to become the queen of a bandit gang which terrorized Paris with daring jewelry store holdups.
 Finally the gang entered a gem shop at Suresnes and were about to make away with sf4.000 In gems when the police surrounded them
 One member of the gang took shelter behind a tree and pumped lead at the officers. A lucky shot from the police brought down the concealed marksman. It was Yeyette.
 Her attorney made a touching, but vain appeal for her. As he finished she murmured to him:

 But her love for Degory which led her to a career of crime-that, she says. will last until she dies.
