Little Stories For Bedtime
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
STIcY-ToEs THE TREE TOAD
PLANS A JOKE
BY THORNTON w. BUR

Some people call Sticky-toes the
Tree Toad a croaker They say he
croaks for rain. But some folks don't
know Sticky-toes as well as they
might. He is anything but croaker.
You know, a croaker is one who is
always seeing the dark side of things
and always saying that something
bad is going to happen. A croaker
! is never known to laugh and as for
playing a joke, why, who ever heard
of a real croaker doing anything like
that?
II you could have seen Sticky-toes
as he sat in the tree where Cresty
the Flycatcher had made his home
you would never have suspected him
of being a croaker. No, indeed! He
was laughing until there was danger
of splitting his sides.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, hal Ho, no, no,
ho, ho!" laughed Sticky toes, and put
both hands to his sides because they
ached from laughing SO long and SO
hard.
You see, it just happened that he
was sitting in that particular tree
when Cresty and Mrs. Cresty brought
home the old suit of Mr.. Rattlesnake
which he had thrown away when he
got his new one. Stickytges had
watched Cresty and Mrs. Cresty tear
the old suit to pieces and take 1t into
the hole where they were building
their nest. He had noticed that Mrs.
Cresty had left the tail of that old
coat hanging outside the door. and
1t gave Sticky-toes an uncomfortable
feeling every time he looked at it. for
when it moved in the wind it seemed
as If there was some one alive inside
Of it. In fact, it reminded Sticky toes
so strongly of Mr.. Blacksnake him.
self, of whom he is very, very much
afraid, that he was tempted to run
away. But he didn't. and day after
day he watched that tail of Mr.
Biacksaake's old coat fluttering in
the wind and just couldn't keep his
eyes off it.
He was watching it when Chatterer
the Red Squirrel came climbing up
the tree intent on dinner OF the
eggs he felt sure he would find in
Cresty's home. He knew nothing
about that old suit Of Mr.. Blacksnake,
and so when he suddenly found the
tail of it wriggling almost in his face
he thought Mr. Blacksnake himself
was there and was so frightened that
he just let go his hold on the tree and
dropped to the ground. Then without
once looking behind him he scamp
cred away as fast as ever he could
go. 1t was this that tiekled Sticky
toes the Tree Toad so. To think that
shTewd. sharp-eyer Chattefer, the
mischief maker, should have been so
fooled and frightened by an old suit.
Was there ever such joke before?
All the rest of that day he chuekled
to himself as he thought about il.
He awoke in the night to laugh about
it, Early the next morning as he was
getting ready TO occupy his old seat
where he could watch that fascinating
old coat-tail he heard the voice of
Sammy Jay. Right away an idea
came to him He would play a joke
on Sammy JAY Yes. sir, that is |
what he would do. Sammy is just |
as fond of eggs as is Chatterer. |
Sticky-to knew this So ct the first |
opportunity he called Sammy jay |

THE FAN, MANS WEAPON
It's First Aid to Romance, Says Marian Hale
MY MARIAN HALE

The present age sees a marvellous
improvement in all the implements
of warfare-including the fan.
Fans, you know, are just as much
the armament of flirts as swords
are of soldiers. They have always
been dangerous weapons in the
hands of the dangerous sex. from
Cleopatra to Peggy Joyce!
This seasons fans are so gorgeous
and alluring and irresistible that l
believe they will see many famous
feminine victories and prove ro-
nance is still with us.
Besides the glorious creations of
feather, silk and lace, there are many
novelties.
Perfumed fans are popular. AS
they perform their n1onot0nous labor
they give off fragrant odors Of san
dalwood and the mysterious east.
There is a fan for the cigaret
smoker which supplies parking space
under it's plumage for a dozen of her
favorite brand.
Musical fans play your fayorite
selections as you wave them to and
fro.
The kitchenet fan suggests un-
limited possibilities. Each rib is a
knife, fork or spoon, and you have
the complete equipment for the most
complicated meal.
Another type of fan acts as tab
loid dressing table. If you approach
it with knowing touch you can ex-
tract mirror, lipstick, eyebrow PEN
Gil and lip rouge from it's depths.
Perhaps well see revival of the
Tan so popular in the days of the
Medicis, where sharp, efficient and
ready dagger might be Slipped from
its interior.
Or perhaps men may arm them
selves. In England men once carried
fans. "A famous Englishman once
found his long handled one very con-
venient for chastising his daughter
who ran him into debt
In Victorian days mirror fans were
popular. The much exploited maid
with the downcast eyes might we'll
be so, for in her fan she had mir
ror and could see everything that
was going on about her.
The modern girl, however. prefers
to. see life first hand, not through
mirror, but I'll tell YOU this:

Chapter xxxli.
Beginning with the time she met
Mr. Baker in the street, Olive told
her story, not forgetting a single In :
cident. She sensed the intense. the
painful interest of her listeners, who
never once interrupted, and felt
theirs was a right to know. When
she came to where the sewing woman
had Unidentified the tiny baby clothes
as those she had made, Mr.. Lee broke
the silence.
TT is true. mother!" Oddly he had
neither looked at nor addressed his
remark to Olive. 1t was the woman
on the bed of whom he thought, the
mother who perhaps would lose her
daughter. His own loss was for the
present secondary.
"oh. but it will make no differ
enceip Olive declared, sensing the
fathers feeling. Il am still your
daughter-you are my father ana
mother. This new father is a
stranger. Because he is my father
+ must acknowledge him, and--my
brother. But it will make no differ
-mother-father, oh, how /
love you bothl How I always, always
will love you"
Telepathically she knew they were
in pain. and it sent a sick little hurt
through her own heart. She must
assure them, must show them that
nothing-nothing could make any
difference in her love for them. That
the new father did not necessarily
mean a new. a different life. Yet even
as the thought swept across her mind
she felt she had herself as we'll as
them to convince. That new father
had already shown a marked desire
to have her fealty all his own, had
even let her see that he was a bit
jealous of her love and devotion to
the people who had always cared Tor
her. Not that he wasn't grateful
for he was. And he longed to show
his gratitude, as he had told her. But
she was his child. the daughter for
whom he had spent his life searching.
Now that he had found her, he
wanted all-all of her, her love, her
daughterly devotion, her time.
This Olive knew as she tried to
convince the two who so dearly loved
her that the discovery that she was
Somebody's child would make no
difference in their relations. But it
was not until she had voiced what
this knowledge meant to her that
either of the two could feel like re-
joicing over her news.

said through her tears. You never

that day he sat where he could watch
the entrance to Cresty's home, and
all the time he chuckled to himself
as he thought of what he was sure
was going to happen. It was a great
joke he had planned. The only trou-
bic was he had no one to enjoy il
