N 1'hhlAM LINDSAY, with her
, I'M eyes fixed solemnly upbn Dom
aid Ferry, had been listening
for the better-or worse
part of an hour to a great deal OF
biographical detail that had been
rather a bore. But her guest hadn't
a remote idea that he was boring his
pretty little bronze-haired hostess,
because she seemed to be listening SO
eagerly.
From "the tail Of her eye" she could
watch from the porch and see Rose
Lindsay at the bridge table: and ev-
cry time she saw Rose glance her
way. she leaned forward with still
greater interest to catch what Mr..
Ferry was saying. For Merriam very
much wanted to make Rose just a
tiny bit jealous.
Rose was trying to keep q level
head: but never for. her had Donald
Ferry's short laughter jerked itself
out so often. nor had his voice
dropped to such a confidential level:
voice was low because Merriam, the
artful pinx. had cautioned him to
keep his voice low.
"I:'s so hard> for them to play

telling me about your father! He
must have been perfectly fascinating!
Kirk was telling me the other day
that he was the man who got that
big endowment fund for your col
lege-he said I ought to ask you
story connected with it" She did
a wee yawn. Personally, she didn't
believe she could hold out much
longer. she was SO bored! But her
innocent question brought her Its
own reward, for presently she was
laughing in earnest as Mr.. Ferry re- re-
counted family anecdote that he
said his dad had always entitled 1.-THE
Widows Mite"
dad was chairman Of q committee
a number of years ago that had
tough proposition in hand-the rails
ing of an endowment fund for our
college. It's not such a big college,
and it's graduates aren't blessed with
fortunes, and it looked like an al
most impossible task. Dad was right
up against 1t. And he was complete
ly discouraged, because 1t seemed to
him that he had exhausted every pos
sible source OF supply and was going
to lose out. But he couldn't bear to
have the dear old alma mater go un-
der, so as a last resort he decided to
tackle the Gage estate. Old Gage
had been dead number OF years ana
had left his fortune tied up with a
dozen strings. all of which were In
the hands of his gentle old wife. But
she was totally surrounded by large
guard Of secretaries. and the most
anybody could get was a five-minute
audience with her. and as she was al

Bowser. but not one of them had work.
ed Now as he ran he was trying
to think up some new trick and. at
the same time, he was indulging in
a lot of vain wishes.

thing 1t is always useless to wish
listened to the quacking of those
Ducks and then had yielded to the
temptation to try to catch one. All
the wishing In the world wouldn't
change these facts. The thing for
him to do was to stop these vain
matter of getting rid of Bowser' the
Hound.
To Reddy's credit it must be said
that not once did he think of seeking
his home in the Old Pasture. He took
pains to keep in the Green Forest or
on the edges of it. Had there been
no young Foxes he might have sought
Mrs. Reddy's aid. 1t is an easy mat
ter for two Foxes working together
to tire out a dog or to fool him. But
Reddy knew that Mrs. Reddy's place
was with the young Foxes and not
for the world would he do anything
to make trouble for her or them. If
he was to get away from Bowser he
must do 1t himself without any help.
Bow, WOW, WOW, VOW roared the
voice of Bowser the Hound. and to
Reddy 1t seemed uncomfortably near.
1t was plain that Bowser was not in
distress. Il wish something dread
full would happen to that dog" pant
wishing vainly and foolishly.
Reddy jumped to the top Of a
stump and from that leaped as far
as he could. 1t was a long leap. 1t
really was. Then Reddy ran up a
side hill through an old gully that
knew that dry sand would not hold
his scent well. At the top of the
hill he lay down to rest and get his
breath. Perhaps this time he would
get rid of Bowser.
With steady roar Bowser came
which Reddy had jumped. OF course,
the trail ended where Reddy's feet
last touched the ground. Bowser
stopped barking. He ran this way
and that way. smiling loudly. From
where he lay Reddy could hear his
sniff and he chuckled. Round and
round that stump Bowser ran, but
nowhere could he find any trace of
that Fox smell. Then he stopped and
looked long and hard at that stump.
1t gave him an idea. He walked up
to 1t and by standing on his hind
legs could just get his nose over the
top. There he took long sniff.
Bow, WOW, wow" roared Bowser.
He knew now exactly what Reddy
Fox had done.

After you have placed your cake in
