And wherc WAS Mitzi all this time
you are wondering. When she stepped
inside the tree there was nothing to
do but walk up the gold stairs before
her. There WAS no other way to go.
And when abe reached the top she
found herself in a big room Of white
marble with a small door at one end.
There was no voice to tell her what
TO do and MitKi saw no one, so she
walked across the long marble floor
and through the doorway, which brought
her into a beautiful garden filed with
flowers and trees and shady walks, and
in the center big fountain sent up
long silvery sprays.
But she did not have long TO admire
all this beauty, for Mit,i saw walking
toward her along one of the paths
such strange looking creature that
she quite forgot her surroundings.
The head Of the creature was that
of an old man with long white beard
the body like that of leopard, so that
at first Mitzi had thought the old mar
wore coat of the skin OF leopard
AS he came nearer to her she saw
that instead of hands and arms the
creature walked on his hind legs anc
used his front in the place of arm!
and his paws as hands.
Mit1i stood gazing at him when thi:
queer looking creature said in q low
deep voice: "Do not fear; l shall moi
harm YOU look much more dreadful
than am"
Hsi voice was so sad that Mitz
/ forgot TO be afraid. 81 am not afraiC

do not wish TO 60"
Il shall be glad to help you ii

only poor girl and / can do little t
help any one, but | am not afraid

Come then" said the strange lool
ing host, and taking Mitzi by the han
very gently with one paw, he led hs
towards beautiful marble palace O
the other side OF the garden.

"You may fool yourself, Margaret, but
YOU can't fool me, nor anybody else with
eyes in their head for that matter Flow
ers are one thing, and fussing as if you
were preparing n decoration for we'd
ding or a funeral is something else
again. And haven't lost all my men,
ory OF my eycsght yet. ! remember
hearing that young snip tell you blue
was his favoritc color last spring so
YOU needn't try TO put anything over
on me about dressing yourself up in
that blue linen gown. It's most insult
able, anyway, so late in the fall"
She moved majestically toward the
door. and |, more crushed than she
knew, hoped she had finished. But she
had still another arrow in her quivcr,
which she waited until her hand WAS on
the latch TO send out.
"Ive always heard" she said loftily,
"that when woman gets just about
your age you want to look out for
foolish symptoms. To do YOU justice,

sensibly, but | guess you're like al the
rest--let some boy almost young enough

She WAS strategic enough to get out
of the room with this little speech, lesv-
ing me no opportunity of reply even had
wished TO answer her.
But I was past speech. Choking with
rage, sobs tearing at my throat, ! sat
silent, still, battling with the impulse to
shrek aloud my wrath at this unjust
indictment.
Quecrly enough, the whitcst heat OF
my anger was directed against my own
soul. For cruel, unjust as was my
mothcr-in-law's attack, there yet had
been the tiny grain of truth in it which
always gives the most virulent sting

of the gown being trihe unreasonable
and that-consciously or sub-conscious
