looking at the tempting piece Of meat
but he did not wag his tail and II MI
Fox had been clever enough 10 notice
this he might have kept beyond the
length of the chain that held Mr..
Dog.
But he didn't. He was thinking OF
the chickens he would have tor break
fast, for as soon as Mr.. Dog began
TO eat the meat he would have no
trouble in getting one.
The meat was very tempting, but
Mr.. Dog was well fed by his master
and besides that he wanted TO get Mr..
Fox in his power.
Mr.. Dog hung his head. You Will
have TO bring 1t TO me, MIR. Fox ne
said. you see l am chained and /
cannot reach it.
Now, / have fancy for eating my
food close to that post. My dish IS
always placed there and, as you are so
kind as to bring me q present, perhaps
you will not mind doing me the favor
of placing it there -.
"Of course! OF coursel Anything
to oblige a friend" said MIR. Fox, srnil-
ing TO himself and thinking how easily
be had Gained Mr.. Dog. at is fine
bit of meat and | trust you will enjoy
it."
II was done so quickly that Mr.. Fox
did not have chance TO wink, for as
he neared the post Mr.. Dog, who was
al the length OF his chain, whrled
around and began to run In q circle.
The chain caught Mr.. Fox about the
feet, for it was fastened to the post,
and the next thing he knew he was
bound so he could not get away; or at
least not before Mr.. Man came run
ming out of the house, for MIR. Dog
had begun 10 bark ID manner that
plainly told his master he was needed
at once.
For once Mr.. Dog was glad he had
been chained, for when the meat was
found Oh the ground if he had not
been fastened Mr.. Dog would GER
tainly have been thought thief, but
his master knew he could not have
stolen il because the chain was fast
ened to his collar and the post.
How it got there was a mystery TO
every one but MIR. Dog, and as he was
not able to make his master under
stand his whines and barks, Mr.. Man
asid he guessed that some stray dog
had stolen it and dropped it when Mr..
Dog barked and frightened him away.
What became of Mr.. Fox? Why, he
was put in a box and shipped away
TO zoo in city park, where they
needed q handsome fox to put in q
cage And if some day you see q
Mr.. Fox in the ZOO who has faraway
look in his eyes, it may be the one
that is looking for Mr.. Dog who was
the cause of his being there.

THE ApMIRING ADMISSION

But though the words and emphasis

Nstonishment, Of course, but besides
that. saw distinct admiration and
something more, a swift, rcvivinG hope
which, il was plain, depended upon me
alone.
There was something unusually
pathetic, appealing in the aspect OF this
man whom ! had never seen IN any
niher guise than that Of n brilliant,
rather lordly man-of-the-world. lie
Was now. l told myself, with whlmsi-
cal recollection of my teaching days

being averted. And there WAS no ms
taking the need in the eyes looking1nto,
mine.
Always, l had regarded Allen Drake
as being so wrapped in his own sell,
esteem that most human contacts bored
him. But all at once l saw that be-
meath his blase, indolent mask, he was
ike most other men, craving the aid,
the sympathy Of woman near to HIM

came.

confidently upon the pile of papers

Alkali in Soap
Bad for the Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the nair brittle.
The best thing TO use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get Mulsifled at anv
drug store, and a few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of MuIsi
fed in a cup or glass with a little
warm water is all that is required. IT
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
lather cleanses thoroughly, and rinses
out easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and is soft, fresh boxing
bright. fluffy. wavy, and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle Of dust, dirt and dand-
ruff. BE sure your druggist gives you
Mulsifed.

Mr.. Fox WAS carrying large piece
OF meat. He had stolen it from a
neighboring farm, but that did not
bother the concience of Mr.. Fox in the

his enemy, and il mattered little how
