Light Fingers Is Fooled

Nancy and Nick got into pecks
of trouble on their way to the Fairy
Queens Palace in the magic auto
mobile but they always got out again.
And when the Sour Old Witch
caused a high wall to appear right
across the road in front OF them
Mike Mole and a thousand of his
helpers became active at once.
They dug and dug and dug until
they had tunnels running crisis
cross and cross-criss in every direc-
ton right under the wall, and in a
jiffy the whole thing tumbled down
quite fiat. leaving space between
the fallen stones for the little ear
to slide through.
OF course. Nancy had 20 say a
charm like ta.s.
Magic auto, hurry fast,
And We'll reach Fairyland at
l. last"
And Nick had to turn the knob en-
the whirligig between the jIgama-
crank and the thingumabob. But
that was all.
The little car began to move. and
scooted right through the gap like
a shiny red bug scurrying toward
it's hiding hole.
Light Fingers, the bad little fairy,
who had really caused the trouble,
was up IN 4 juniper-tree laughing
and laughing and laughing-Iaugn-
ing because the wall had stopped the
Twins. He was holding his sides
and was busy laughing he never
noticed the wall fall down and the
magic automobile roll away.
Suddenly he stopped and stared 60
hard his eyes nearly dropped out Of
his head.
"Wh-wh-what's happened? ?" he
gasped. He was SO astonished he fell

There are many other illustra-

Go On With the Story


A sweet sense of partnership now
endeared them to each other all the
more intensely.
They spent hours on deck talking
over plans for winning Cousins con-
fidence-and withstanding his antici-
pated Establishments.
That it would not be easy to COM
bine a honeymoon trip with a
hunting trip was evident to both,
but each kept UP a pretense of con-
fdence.
One night as the ship was ap-
preaching Naples they ran into a
storm, a squally thing, that proved
to be more noise than danger.
But the wall of wind and the
uneasy motion of the ship wrought
its own mood upon Edna, as she lay
awake, marveling that Jack could
sleep through it all like a baby.
Queer. insensitive creatures men!
Yet how Unfortunately sensitive to
business. Two o r three times Edna
had felt real pangs of jealousy ct
Jacks preoccupation with the prob
lem of Cousins and the old electric
supplies corporation.
Visions of a husband increasingly
losing interest in her and devoting

v eAdJNNJl OrI
: BY MARGARET ROHE
If you have boils Upon your neck
Or epileptic fits,
Insomnia or chicken pox,
Don't worry, folks. for it's
A cinch to cure your every i'll,
No doctor need you question:;
Just do what Emil Coue says
And try autosuggestion.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19,-It's simply
impossible to find any spare string
around the house these days.
Mother, father, auntie, grandma,
grandpa and the girls have it all
cut up into convenient lengths and
tied in twenty knots.
This is one of Emile Coue's first
essentials of "Self-Mastery Through
Conscious Autosuggestion."
First catch your string and then
knot it. Sounds like a string game,
but it really is not.
The knots are all in the string
20 of 'em-count 'em That is just
what you do, too, count them every
one, repeating a little wheeze at
every knot.
Sort of like "He loves me, He loves
me knot" you know, only the Coue
formula runs like this-"Day by
day, in every way I am getting bet
ter and better"
Then You're Cured
When you have told yourself this
20 times, one for every knot, night
and morning, with yes shut and
lips moving, you will either be cured
of all your physical and mental ills
or else you will be sent to the
psychopathic ward.
Professor Coue doesn't specify
whether the knots in the string are
to be sailor knots. bow knots or love
knots, but possibly this is a mere
detail.
According to this newest French
exponent of autosuggestion, who
has himself cured hundreds of SEEM
ingly hopeless cases, we are abso-
lutely run and ordered about and
domineered by III unconscious self
and ruled by Jul imagination.
You may think your conscious self

voice. Who said you wouldn't?v

MIR. BEARS BRIGHT IDEA.

Cuffy Bears father was proving about Farmers Greens sugar house. which stood in the maple grove at the foot of Blue Mountain The wide door of the building was locked fast Heavy shutters were fastened over the windows. Search as he would MT. Bear could find no opening any where He did not even discover a weak place where he could break through.
 It was very annoying, for Mir, Bear was sure he could smell maple sugar, Farmer Green has some sugar stored inside" he murmurmed wistfully. T must get a taste of 1t somehow.i He backed away a few steps and gazed up at the sugar house with longing eyes. Then, all at once. MT. Bear thought of a plan. That's just what I'll do," he exclaimed with smile, And wheeling about, he started home wards.
 Seldom did Mir. Bear invite young Cuffy to go on trips with him. So 1t was no wonder that Cuffy was pleased when his father came home and asked him, Would you like to go down the mountain with me-"

VEGETABLE SALAD
BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH

Cooking Authority for NEA Service
 and Columbia University
 One of the reasons that many people do not serve salad is that the family does not like oil Another reason is that one does not always have lettuce and most recipes for salad call for lettuce. The following recipe uses very little oil and no lettuce:
 1 cup shredded cabbage
 l cup celery cut in small pieces cucumbers, pared and cut in very
 small pieces Cor they may be
 chopped) 3 tomatos. chopped
 1 red pepper, fresh or canned. green peppers cut in small pieces 1 teaspoon salt
 l teaspoon paprika
 1 tablespoon sugar
 tablespoon vinegar
 8 tablespoons oil
 Mix all the ingredients in a bowl thoroughly and serve very cold. If you do not have celery use twice as much cabbage and add one-fourth teaspoon celery salt
 This salad is especially good served with fried or broiled fish and with cold meat.

 Where are we going, Pa?" Cutfy inquired,
 "pownlnll.' replied MT. Bear.
 That didn't tell Cuffy much But he didn't care. He thought his fath- CT must be saving a surprise for him. MT Bear was certainly in a pleasant mood He kept smiling and running his tongue over his lips.
 Are we going to have treat, Pa?' Cuffy asked him.

 "Yes, Pal" Well. I want you to scramble up il on the outside and down it on the in- side. And when you come back bring all the maple sugar you can carry. You can reach the roof by climbing that tree that hangs over it. ''
 Cuffy Bear lost no time in hitching himself up the maple tree. Then he dropped to the roof of the sugar house. quickly scaled the great stone chimney, and vhisked down into its black gaping mouth. He found plenty of footholds on the 1utting stones as he let himself slowly down the fue, which was big enough for him, but not for his father to pass through.
 Amid a shower of soot Cuffy reached the bottom of the chimney. But alas. he couldn't step out of it. There was no opening down there, ex- cept a stove pipe hole through which Cuffy peeped into the gloom of the darkened room. There was a pleas ant, swedish odor about the place But it might as well have been a thousands miles away.
 There was nothing he could do but climb up again. At last MT. Bear saw his sons head appear out of the chim- ney-top.
 Toss it down." Mr Bear called.
 T can't Cuffy answered He knew that by it" his father meant maple sugar.
 Why not?" growled MT. Bear.
 T haven't any Cuffy told him.
 You've eaten it, on your way up the chimney,' Mir. Bear roared. He was terribly angry. Don't you dare come down here without some su- gar"
 Cuffy began to wish that he hadn't come on the trip with his father. Mir Bear wouldn't listen to his explana- tions Whenever Cuffy started to talk, his father began to below.
 There Cuffy stayed with his head sticking out of the chimney. And there he might still be, had not his mother suddenly appeared beside Mir Pear.
 What in the world Is going on hereo" she demanded.
 MT. Bear began to stammer He looked very unhappy and i'll at ease as Mrs. Bear shot question after ques- ton at him. None of his answers seemed to please her, And at last she said, You ought to be ashamed of yourself to send a child on such an errand. He might have got stuck fast in that chimney. If I had known about this business I'd never have let Cuffy come with you. But you didn't tell me word about 1t.
 He said we would explain after wards" Cuffy called down.
 That will be enough from you" MT. Bear snapped. Children should be seen and not heard"
 When Mrs. Bear had her son safe on the ground once more she started for home with him.
 For some reason or other Mir. Bear did not follow them.
