the customary pcrfunctory question to

The early train to the city, which is
almost imperative If one does not wish to
waste most of the dy in travel, makes
it impossible for easy-loving, proscrasti-

three times by attempting that feat,
and has finally submitted to the regime
of packing his bag and shaving, lcav-

When he saw his mistake Mr.. Fox
smiled, and smile means from Mr..
Fox that he has something on his
mind. He walked right over to the
scarecrow and for few minutes ne
was very busy, and when he finished
being busy there he was dressed IN the
clothes of the scarecrow and standing
there Just as natural as he could he.
He knew he would have 10 wait until
day break and perhaps a little longer;
but the fun he would have would he
worth the trouble, he was sure OF that.
BY and by, when the SKY was gray
and streaks OF light showed over the
hill where Mr.. Sun was making ready
10 get up along came Mr.. Crow and
perched on the rail fence by the corn
field. He gave a careless glance at the
scarecrow, and after casting his bright
eyes about he few right over to the
field and perched on one arm OF the
scarecrow and cawed loudly his scorn:
/ odd raggedy scarecrow, you can't
brighten me,
For I'm q brave bird, as all can see.
! can see through you with one sharp
eve,
You can't fool me, so you needn't Try"
Just as he finished cawing Mr.. Crow
turned to peck at the coat sleeves on
which he was sitting when Mr.. OK
gave jump and bark.
/ Mr.. Crow was so frightened that has
wings just Topped at his sides. He
almost fell TO the ground; but he was

OF course, Mr.. Crow did not stop to
. sec who it was inside of the raggedy
clothes. He went as far as he could
from the cornheld: but when Mr.. Fox
saw him sitting on a branch near the
| field he was looking very carefully at
the scarecrow waving its arms IN the
! breeze
"Old raggedy scarecrow, you cant
brighten me.
For I'm brave bird, as all can see.

eye,
You can't fool me, so you needn't try.
Mr.. Fox sang this loudly as ne

THE DISCONCERTING REQUEST
WITH WHICH DICkY
TROUBLED MADGE.

The fear that the man Smith would
try to revenge himself upon Dieky,
now that he Knew he was living within
a mile of US, became almost mania
with me in the hours following my en-
counter with the man upon the wood
land road.
Perhaps my obsessing wish that my
husband should get away from the
vicinity affected Dicky telepathically.
At any rate, much to my relief, upon
the evening of the same day which had
brought Smith back upon my mental
horizon, Dicky casually announced that
he thought he would run up to New
York for two or three days.

sue between us-that Of my helping

results. / knew that my husband never

Meaning of military and athletic
training to high school boys and
girls found expression in the annual
military field day staged by the
Phoenix Union high school on its
athletic field. Ninth and Polk streets,
yesterday afternoon. II was one OF
the most impressive events OF its
kind ever held in Phoenix and the
$500 people in attendance saw un-
deniabie evidence of benefits accru-
ing through these educational chan
nels.
The field day was. designedly. for
demonstrative purposes only. It was
arranged by Captain Claude Decatur
Jones' vice principal of Phoenix high
school. that parents and friends OF
students might see what is being ac-
complished in the physical develop
ment of the pupil. That it served It's
purpose well was attested by the
round after round of applause that
greeted each exhibition.
Approximately 1000 boys and girls
OF Phoenix Union high school par
ticipated. Tempe Normal school and
the Phoenix Indian school each had
one platoon Of "a men in the platoon
drill contest and Mesa high school
entered only four men in the relay
race.
Military and athletic drills were
given to show how the schools point
their educational program toward a
development of the body as well as
the mind. But there also was some
thing of the mental development sug-
gested in the alertness of the stu
dents in responding to the every com
nand of the drill master. These drills
demonstrated a nimbleness of the
