Hunter Worden came soon again.

he might make an impression upon

When Worden saw the manager on
Monday morning it was with rather

dreamed she had told of Ruth.
"Why, Mr.. Turnbull, as near as

JIMMY SKUNK IS JUST IN TIME
After Jimmy Skunk had pulled
over the big piece of bark and found
Old Mr.. Toad under It instead of the
fat beetles he had expected he had
started on down the Crooked Little
Path. and as he ambled along slowly
he ohuckled. You see, he was think
ing of what a hurry Mr.. Toad had
been in as soon as he had heard that
Mr.. Blacksake had walked from his
long winters sleep and had asked
after Mr.. Toad 1t had been funny.
indeed, to see Mr.. Toad and try TO
hurry.
Suddenly Jimmy stopped chuck
ling Then he stopped ambling along
the Crooked Little Path. He turned
around and looked back, and as he
did so he scratched his head
thoughtfully. He had just happened
to think that Old Mr.. Toad had gone
up the Crooked Little Path when he
had left in such a hurry, and 1t was
up the Crooked Little Path that Mr..
Blacksnake had shown himself that
morning.
"If he's stili UP there" thought
Jimmy, "Old Mr.. Toad is hopping
right straight into trouble, the very
worst kind of trouble. How stupid of
him not to have asked me where
where Mr.. Blacksnake was! Well. it's
none of my business. guess I'll go
on"
But he had rome on down the
Crooked Little Path only few steps
when he stopped again. You see.
Jimmy is really a very kind hearted
little fellow, and somehow he didn't
like to think of what might happen
to Old Mr.. Toad.

grumbled, for you know he is natur-

piece of bark he probably would have
stayed there the rest of the day and
been safe"
MAYBE he won't meet Mr.. Black
snake" said little voice inside of
Jimmy.
"And maybe ne will" said Jimmy
right out loud. And with that he
started back up the crooked Little
Path, and. strange to say. Jimmy
hurried. You know, ii isn't often that
Jimmy Skunk hurries for anything
or any one.
He had just reached turn in the
Crooked Little Path when who
should run right plump into him but
poor Old Mr.. Toad He gave a
frightened squeal and fell right over
on his back and kicked foolishly as
he tried to get back on his feet
again. But he was all out of breath
and so frightened and tired that all
he could do was to kick and kick.

One day as the men walked feebiy
about they heard a strange noise up
in the sky, and they placed their
hands over their eyes to peer up
against the sun. Circling and turn
ing there appeared the queerest sight
that had ever greeted their eyes, and
it swooped lower and lower until It
came to rest at their feet,
Out OF the queer flying machine
stepped a dapper. brown leather-clad
elf and an elusive, gentle fairy.
Quickly a crowd gathered around
them and the manly little elf said
to them: II am Publicity, and this
fairy maid is Understanding. We
seek the home of Ingorance and I'm.
proper Food. I pray thee, tell US
where we may find them"
A child standing by pointed to the
castle. but no man cared enough TO
go with them.
When Publicity and Understanding
reached the castle all was filth and
decay, and the wicked fairy Dirt met
them at the door. When they asked
TO see her master, she leered at them
and declared they could not enter.
Publicity blew his silver whistle
and whole army OF small fairies,
led by Cleanliness. sprang up and
seized and bound Dirt and carried
her away. Then. on entering the
castle. they espied the two wicked
fairies in wrangle over who was
greater in the kingdom. and Jealousy
sat between them.

FOi AIO OlSHES
Sister Mary Suggests Proper Way TO
Prepare Them
The cook who would serve her po-
tatoes at their best never let's them
stand after they are ready for the
table. If potatoes must be kept
warm for more than few minutes
they become soggy. A potato is as
delicate a vegetable as asparagus
and must be properly cooked.
Let old potatoes stand in cold
water for three or four hours after
pairing and before cooking. This inn
proves both the texture and the
taste. Never put old potatoes on to
cook in hot water.
Potatoes make an excellent foun-
dation for many dishes with left

Six medium sized potatoes, I tea
