old Mother Mature.
Mother Bear was very busy digging
roots in damp. soft place not far
from the Laughing Brook. She was
hungry and she had no thought for
anything but getting something to
put in her stomach. Her big claws
tore up the soft earth and she grunt-
ed impatiently as she hunted for those
roots. She didn't give a thought to
her half-grown cubs. Boxer and
Woof Woof She had left them dig
ging for roots little further down
the Laughing Brook. She had left
them with warning not to go away
from there and 1t didn't enter her
head that they might disobey. You
see. they had been so well trained
that she didn't think they would even
dream of disobeying.
But those two cubs were not where
she had left them. With Boxer In
the lead and Woof Woof at his heels
they were hurrying through the
Green Forest toward Farmer Browns
sugar house. where couple of nights
before the wandering Little Night
BreeZes had tickled their noses with
such delicious smell. Mother
Bear had warned them to keep away
but the memory of that delicious
smell was too much for them.
The nearer they got to that part of
the Green Forest where the sugar
house was, the more WoOf WOof's
conscience troubled her. Then, too,
she was more timid than Boxer. Sup
posing Mother Bear was right and
that there was danger over there?
She turned her head from time to
time to look back. She wouldn't
have owned up to 1t. but she was
hoping to see Mother Bear following
But Mother Bear wasn't following
and there was nothing to do but to

At last they reached that part of

whispered she. Perhaps it isn't over
here now. Don't you think we'd bet

II should say not" exclaimed Boxer
scornfully. You can go back IL you
want to. but I'm going to find out
where that delicious smell came from
and what made it. I'm not afraid
if you are"
Truth to tell. Boxer was boasting
to keep his courage up. Right down
in his heart he was beginning to wish
that he hadn't come. Now that they

They knew just what would happen
if she was. They knew that each

obeying. But there were no signs of
Mother Bear and once more Boxer
started on.
Now, Boxer had been very brave
with his tongue when he had urged
Woof Woof to come with him. He
had boldly declared that there wasn't

you have seen him now you would
have thought him anything but bold

down.
"Fraidy," whispered Boxer, but all

him to be the one TO give up. And
just then along came a Merry Little
Breeze and tickled the noses of both
little Bears with that same delicious
smell that had been the cause Ct
their disobedience.

evening after evening the strange

overalls discussing the last hours
of their late lamenteds.

small children farmed out with
various relatives. and there were

The Best Cough Syrup
Is Homemade
Here's an easy way to save ST.. and

You've probably heard of this
weIl-known plan of making cough
syrup at home. But have you ever
used it? Thousands of families, the
world over, feel that they could
hardly keep house without it. It's
simple and cheap, but the way il
takes hold of cough will soon earn
it a permanent place in your home.
Into a pint bottle pour y. ounces
Of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified molasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead OF
sugar syrup. Either way, it tastes
good, never spoils, and gives you a
full pint of better cough remedy
than you could buy ready-made for
three times its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conquers j
cough-usually in "a hours or less,
1t seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loosens a dry, hOarse or
tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost
immediate relief. Splendid for
throat tickle, hoarseness, Group,
bronchitis and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, and has been used for gen.
erations for throat and chest all.
