| Garrick and Dick walked slowly
down Forty-ninth street and across
Sixth avenue, laughing at Ruth S ruse
and bit sore.
I 81 suppose you feel put out!'' pun
ned Garrick.
Dick was too puzzled to get it. ''She
certainly put us through the Inner Cir
Gle with as much neatness aHld dis
patch as a sardine goes from the river
| to the tin in the movies Only,
l wonder why9"
J Garrick was thinking of the threat
| message. "Could it be that she took
that way of keeping us out of danger?'
He stopped short and looked back. A
tough stranger was lurking back of
them. Garrick moved ahead and stop
ped again. The stranger stopped and
slouched into a garage. Garrick walk
ed back quickly and as he passed him
looked over and smiled. 81 m on he
laughed and the man dropped his eye
in sheepish sullenness.
They turned the corner and again
into Fiftieth street. AS they passed the
other door of the garage which ran
through the block Garrick hesitated as
if to walk through it and locate the
shadowcr. AS he did so he saw another
man stink into a doorway.
"We've discovered one; another has
moved up to take his place. An old
and very effective device.'
He hurried down the street with
Dick, plunged into the subway, waited
for train, then walked on out the
other exit. No "tail' could hold down
Garrick if he suspected he was being
shadowed.
What did it mean9 Still speculat-
ing, they went on to Garrick s city
apartment at Bachelor s Hall and turn
ed in.
The next morning was rainy, damp
and depressing. Garrick and Dick had
breakfasted and were discussing the
events of the day before. Garrick $
mind was most active when his physical
being seemed LATEST. Stretching out
in his chair, raising his arms slowly
above his head, he yawned and was
about to deliver himself of some sage
observation on life in general and the
case in particular when the telephone
rang.
"Hang it, what S this' Answer it,
Dick, old man?'
Dick S mind and body were both
alert. He had brcakfasted with Il
couple of invisible companions, love
and anxiety. "Garrick. " He held his
hand over the transmitter. "My word!
1t s Mrs. Walden.
"Nita Walden! Here? Tell her
there's little reception room down
there. We II be with her right away. !"
Nita Walden was distractedly
winking quick and balling the
handkerchief in her hand as she
gazed out of the window at her car
in which Mckay was biting with bull
dog grip at his pipe as if contemplating
something distasteful.
Garrick closed the door as she rush
ed cxcitedly to him and seized his
hand with fingers that clinched un-
consciously.
"Guy .. | am desperate. 1t s
Ruth again-my little girl. You must
find her for me. | can t take anyone

sO.' And a little later Uncle Wiggily
and the squirrel boys watched the two
pigeons picking up acorns from the
ground, swallowing the shiny brown
nuts as fast as they could take them
in their beaks.
"Don't you chew them?' asked
Uncle Wiggily, as he saw the birds
swallow acorn after acorn, without
making a single bite.
''Our bills are too soft to allow us
to chew the hard shells of the acorns,"
said the gentleman Pigeon. "But we
can swallow them whole and they give
us no trouble. Though you mustn t do
that and he looked at johnnie and
Billie.
"Oh, wo always crack and chew the
nuts We cat!" chartered the squirrel
boys.
The Band Tailed Pigeons were kept
busy picking up acorns, and they ate
so many that soon they were quite
filled up, and this was not impolite or
greedy of them, for it was intended
that they should eat in this way.
"Thcre arc lots of acorns left on
the ground" said Mrs. Pigeon, when
Yes, and we shall be hungry for
them tomorrow" coocd her husband.
81 wish we could take some to our
nest.
"l'll fix it so you may do that, !"
spoke Uncle Wiggily. "Come on,
Johnnie aud Billie; we II make box
OF birch bark so the birds can carry
some acorns away with thcm.'
This was soon done, and Just as the
Band Tailed Pigeons were about to fly
away with the birch box of acorus
| carried between them, all Of a sudden
the Bob Cat spraps out of the bushes
aud tried to nibble Uncle Wiggily S
| ears.
But, wo'll soon mako you go
away!' cried the squirrel boys.
'Comc on, Uncle Wiggily; help us
throw acorps at the Bob Cat!"
."And wo'll help also" coocd the
Pigeons. Soon they were all throwing
the hard acorns at the bad Bob Cat.
The nuts hit him on the cnd of his soft
and tender nose SO that he howIed and
ran away crying;
"Oh, LII be good! III be goodl I
won't nibble Uncle Wiggily S ears!''
And he didn't do any pibbling-at
least, not. that day.
The Pigeons had all tho acorus they
wished to cat aud every one was happy
| except, perhaps, the Bob Cat, aud he
didn't deserve to be. Aud if the win.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE ACORN
BIRD
'pyright, 1922, by Mcclure New

By HOWARD r. GARIS

BY HOWARD r. GARIS
Once upon time, when Uncle Wig
gily was hopping through the woods,
not far from his hollow stump bunga-
low, he heard Il noise something like
| this:
Whoo-whoo -whoot! Hoot! Oot!
Ooti"
"Oh, ho! An OWL" thought Uncle
Wiggily to himself. 81 wonder if this
is the wise owl bird, or the owl who
taught little Posey Wideawakc how to
go to sleep?'
Uncle Wiggily looked up into the
trees, but saw no owl, though the
noise sounded again:
"Whoo! Whoo! Hott!'
"Whoo! Whoo! Hoot!"
81 say, Mr.. Owl! Where arc you?'
cried Uncle Wiggly, for if it was his
friend the Wise Bird the bunny wished
to see him.
81 am not an owl, though at certain
times I hoot like one."
"Who are you then-what sort of a
bird?' asked Uncle Wiggily, for he
knew the voice to be that of a feather
! ed creature.
~ am the Band Tailed Pigeon"
was the answer. "And will you please
| tell me where / can find some acorns?'
| care you also called the Acorn
Bird?" asked the bunny, who was try
ing to learn as much as he could about
the birds.
"Wcll, you may call me that if you
WISH" said the bird, "though Band
Tailed Pigeon is my more common
name. E"
"Do you carry around on your tail a
band to play music?' asked the bunny,
in a. somewhat joking way, as 1t
twinkled his pink nose.
"No," answered the Acorn Bird

Cancer. Continued from United

Cancer Cures and Quacks.

Cancer. Continued from United
States Public Health Bulletin Notes
Cancer Cures and Quacks.
The public should constantly be on
guard against the misleading and dan
gerous quack remedies and treatments
so frequently advertised for the cure
of cancer. There is no more despisa-
bic aspect of human nature than that
which would take advantage of the
desperate fears and hopes of sufferers
from this disease. All cancer cures
and advertisements are swindles. Such
cures" are, generally speaking, of two
classes: First, drugs for internal use
in connection with certain antiseptic
washes. Second, pastes or poultices
containing strong chemical caustics.
There is no medicine that viii cure
cancer. While drugs offered for the
cure may be harmless, they are prac-
tically valueless, and corrosive pastes
are worse than useless. These pastes
may actually stimulate the cancer and
make it grow more rapidly, or eat off
the top, leaving the bottom to spread
in more deeply, all the while losing
precious time.
Radium and x-Rays
These new methods are useful in
certain types of superficial cancer,
such as those which appear on the
skin of old people. The value of ra-
dunn is not definitely determined, tho
the outlook for its usefulness is hope
full. Except on the skin it has not yet
reached the point where it can be pre-
ferred to surgical operation in early
cases. Radium treatments should be
resorted to in reputable hospitals only.
and in the hands of physicians of I'M
improbable standing. Radium must
not be regarded as mysterious cure
which will arrest advanced cancer or
to replace other established methods
of treatment, it is rather an import
ant addition to the means of dealing
with cancer.
Summary
These points about cancer cannot be
too often repeated and should be
known by every person over 80 years
of age.
l. Cancer at the beginning is usu-
ally painless.
2. Cancer is at the first small
local growth which can easily be and
safely be removed by competent sur
gical or other treatment.
3. Cancer is not a "blood" disease.
A. Cancer is not contagious.
5. Cancer is, practically speaking,
not hereditary.
6. Every suspicious lump should
be examined by competent doctor.
z. Sores, cracks, decorations, humps
and ulcers which do not heal, and
warts moles, or birthmarks which
change in size, color, or appearance
may turn into cancer unless treated
and cured.
s Continued irritation in some
form is usually the cause of cancer.
1t rarely results from a sudden injury
9. Insist on a thorough examina-
ton for all suspicious symptoms.
Cancer bulletins may be had free of
charge from this office or from the
State Board of Health, Madison, Wis.
