"Oh, that's easy enough! I was in the stable when they were trying to catch the chickens, and l overheard them say they were for today's din- ner All easy enough to know, you see, when once it is explained. But here comes MT. Blackburn now" con- tinued Widow Brown, looking through a window that faced the house. ''Now is your chance, Stubby, to run out and meet him and appear friendly, as If you were not afraid of him."
 So Stubby ran up to MT. Blackburn, wagging his tail as if he had known him all his life.
 Hello, little dog! Where did you come from? You are not much to look at for beauty, but you have fine hon. est eyes. and appear to have a good disposition which is better than all the beauty in the world without 1t. Besides, you look a great deal like the little dog that just died, and loved him. Come with me to the barn for a few minutes until I tell my man to have my buggy at the door right after dinner, and then I'll take you to the house and give you a good mea1.'
 There! Didn't I tell you he would be good to your" whispered the Wid- her. as he followed MT. Blackburn around the barn.

The Tanning Bee Hiue
By NORMAN +. BROWN SAVED BY $f2,OOO.

That's the title of Pat Shea's little baseball drama.
 Pat is one of the three young hurl- CTS from whom Muggsy McGraw ex- poets to produce at least one win ming regular for his staff this com ing season. Pat wes hurling for Tor onto in 1920 when the Giants de- cided they needed him. McGraw was glad to pay $12,00O for Pat on con dition that he delivered. He had hung up 27 victories while losing only 9 games for Toronto that season. He had worked in 43 games and had stood the gaff.
 Early in the 1921 campaign Shea's arm went lame, however, and finally McGraw, despairing of Shea rounding into shape, asked for waivers on him. The White Sox claimed him. And that was where the s12,000 saved Shea. The sox owners found out that they would have to fork over the aforesaid amount if they acquired him. So they promptly sent him back to New York.
 McGraw then got him out of the big show on waivers and farmed him to St. Paul. where he won and lost 10 games before McGraw recalled him

Billy Whiskers By Frances Trego Montgomery.

Once inside the yard, the Widow Brown introduced Billy, Stubby and Button to all the animals and then took them into the stable, where she showed Billy a nice pile of turnips and some salt that the farmer had brought for the stock that morning.
 ou'n like our master, for he is kind and feeds us welI,'' said the wid- ow Brown, and, Stubby, when he sees you and Button he will be lovely to you, for he's very fond of dogs and his little pet dog that looked a good Gee. like you died last week, so I think he will be douhiy kind to you.
 As for Button, they will stuff him so he can't walk, for they have been wishing for a cat for some time to catch the mice and rats in the granary. and I would suggest that you, stroll over to the farmhouse and walk around whe the farmers wife can see you when dinner is over, for they are going to have 9 nice plump chick en for dinner Eoday."
 'I see," said Billy, "that you are u1 to your same old tricks of knowing s. 4lat Is going on fin the house as well as in the barn.
 Well, I would like to know,' said Stubby, "how you happened to know that they are going to have chicken for dinner today"
