Little Stories For Bedtime
 BY THORNTON BURGESS
WHAT HAPPENED TO
 THE LITTLE CHUCK
BY THORNTON w. BURG


 The most frightened little Chuck in all the world was the biggest ana strongest and smartest of three baby Chucks, Johnny Chucks: and 1t was a" because he had thought himself saesnart that he didn't need to mind - sir, it was all because he thought himself so smart that he could do just as he pleased. So when he heard Johnny Chuck's danger signal he kept right on eating sweet, tender, young clover, instead of running with his two little brothers for the safety or the snug house under the old apple tree in the far corner of the old or chard And then something dark had fallen over him and now something was holding him so tight that he could hardly breathe.
 He felt himself lifted up, up, up- The thing that was dropped over him was lifted off. It was the soft hat of Farmer Browns boy, though the lit Chuck didn't know that. Because he was so frightened he kept his eyes tight closed. Something began to stroke him very softly on the head Somehow, with every stroke he felt less frightened. Pretty soon he open ed his eyes. Then he closed them again in a hurry. You see he had looked right into the freckled face of Farmer Browns boy. He had nev- CT seen Farmer Browns boy before but Johnny Chuck had told him all about the master of Bowser the hound and now he shivered and shook all over with fright How he did wish he had not thought himself so smart, but had minded when he heard the danger signal What dreadful thing would happen to him now?
 . But nothing did happen right away and pretty soon he opened his eyes again. He was being carried up through the old orchard toward the great house where Farmer Brown S boy lives. By and by he was put into a prison out of which he could not climb, try as he would. Of course, it was only a box, but to the little Chuck it was a prison. Then some sweet. tender, young clover was put in with him, and a little dish (of course the little Chuck didn't know that it was dish) full of milk.
 For a long time he was too fright ened and miserable to eat. He just huddled up in one corner and wished and wished that he had minded He wondered if his two little brothers missed him and if Johnny Chuck and Polly Chuck missed him, and, oh dear! he did so long to be back in the snug home in the far corner of the old orchard. He just couldn't helr crying a little when he thought of 1t A stomach is a funny thing;
 It makes demands that must be
 met.
 It will insist on being filled
 And never lets you quite forget.
 This little Chuck found it so. He had made up his mind that he would not eat. No, sir, he wouldn't eat sin gle thing. But after while he be- gan to grow hungry He tried ano tried to think of nothing, but how miserable he was, but his little stomach was empty and it just made him think of it. The more he thought of 1t the less he could think of any :. thing else, and pretty soon, almost ss hout knowing it, he was nibbling al
 sweet, tender. young clover. How
 o1 it did taste! He nibbled little

VALUE OF SUN AND AIR

-
 No matter how many attachments a housekeeper has to her vacuum cleaner or how dustless her mat tresses and pillows may be, there is nothing like spring sunshine and breezes for sweetening and renovat- ing.
 A hot sun is considered injurious to feathers, but spring sunshine is not heating enough to start the oil in the feathers. A stiff breeze blowing through pillows\ does much toward fluffing and livening the down or feathers.
 Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast-Halves of grapefruit, French toast. sirup, coffee. Luncheon-Spring soup, toasted crackers, nut cookies, tea. Dinner = Broiled halibut steak.

Wedding gowns, like their counter
 parts Of the avenue, apparently have
 lost all inclination to increase in
 length, seeming rather to have a ten- dency to become shorter. The one pictured here, designed by a New York modiste, is an adapta- ton of the Spanish bouffant style, with a skirt of heavy baronet satin
 of deep ivory, slightly longer on the sides than in the back and front. The skirt is divided in front, showing a petticoat of cream duchesse lace on a
 bit of chiffon.
 The ivory satin bodice is absolute ly plain and fits tightly with a ber- Ina and short, delicate sleeves of cream duchess lace. An added sug- gestion of springtime lies in the slender streamers of pale rose and jade satin ribbons attached at the walstline These end in knots of pale pink English hawthorn blossoms and primroses.
 The veil is of old Spanish lace, which discloses a rosette of lace with | a knot of hawthorn and primrose i on the hair like a Spanish comb and at the square end. It is dressed high | is held in place by a band of pearls
 and primroses. The bouquet is of
 white Scotch heather and frill
 of lace.

 wears the gowns in the picture. Ii was designed for her. Not a real | wedding, but a reel one.

 It's tomato hootch, the finished dis covery of Harry Boggs, the distin- guished home brew scientist of Bon ner's Run back of Sciotoville.
 Marshal Frank Bell of Boston gave the discovery to a waiting world. He encountered Boggs at work in a hol- low, stirring a copper kettle contain ing 20 quarts of canned tomatoes, water, sugar and yeast Close by were stills, vats and other utensils of hootch manufacture
 Like all good officers of the law he felt called upon to sample the brew and it is upon his word that the in- formation is given that Boggs, al

A CLIMB TO A RESCUE Jane's Book-chapter 19

We regarded the shred of Chrys' veil with amazement.
 "The girl never climbed that ladder of her own free will,' said Daddy Lorimer-
 I started up the vertical ladder. Bob pulled me back.
 Jane, dear" he remarked. 'stay here with Dad and Kath. Come on, Spence"
 But Spence had mounted a dozen rungs while Bob was talking to me waited until Bob had followed him to the level of the floor above, then I turned to Katherine with:
 Don't leave Daddyi I'm going upl" Daddy Lorimer had been lame for months. But he protested: T can make it" He supposed that there was but the height of the basement to ascend. but I explained that the shaft had no opening except into the floor of a closet in the second story of Certeis' house. Daddy gave up the idea with a groan of impatience- Why are you going?" demanded Katherine
 Because I know the plans of the rooms up there." I called down to her. Then to Spence who was near | ing the top: You'll bump your head, | if you go too fast" 'I did!"
 Push upward. hard! It's trap door. Step out-you'H find yourself in a closet-very dark-a bulb hangs from the ceiling; pull the chain" By the time 1 had finished speak ing. a square of light gleamed above | my head. I made the rest of the strenuous climb in silence. Bot reached down a helping hand and | pulled me out of the shaft. | We three stood in the closet where months before I had hidden through a long, hot night, in the uncomfor- | table folds of a diving suit. Bob turned the knob of the closet door. I placed a warning finger on his arm.
 Go slowi Don't walk into a trap,' Cautiously, slowly, he pushed the door open.
 We had been wandering in tho
 cellars for more than an hour, an6
 it was already dusk when we had
 filed through the panel in the alley
 wall. Blackness engulfed the cor
 ners of the great room we were
 about to enter, but rays from ths
 small closet light showed me that ths
