THE LOVE GAME
A ROMANCE OF CITY LIFE

: She was sure that he did. Yet
she was lonely. This fact made
her smile with especial cordiality
at young Paine when she met
miss being here as much as you
him on Broadway one AFTERNOON.
II was just wondering" he
said IF I might come to see you
some EVENING" We have met
time and again. yet have never
had genuine talk together"
Certainly you may come" she
replied.
"When?"
She thought quickly. She re-
membered that Richard was al.
ways engaged on Tuesday evc-
nings. and would be. he said. for
some weeks.
What about next Tuesday,"
she asked. "A week from ton1or-
row night. about . o'clock?"
Fine! BY the way. sometime
may bring a friend to call? He
is the chap who. was with me at
the .theater the night you wcrs
there with Rankin"
Winifred recollected the man.
Sc also recalled Richards re-
marks about his belonging to
different world from that in
which she lived. She flushed.
I'VE win talk about that when
you come on Tuesday" she evad-
ed. "Good-by."
She walked on down the street,
her thoughts busy. She did not
know just what she should do
about permitting Paine to bring
his friend. But she would not
cross that bridge until she came
to it.
Richard was to come to dinner
this evening. He had said that
he had an engagement that would
take him away at nine. There
would be plenty OF time for her
to talk to him of her meeting
Paine and of the mans request.
to be allowed to call on her. Yet,
somehow. she did not feel like
talking to Richard about it. Why
should she? He did not tell her
of all of his affairs. Why should
she tell him Of hers?
When she reached homo she
learned from Mrs. Bates that Muir
had telephoned during her absence.
He told me to ask you If you
coud see him this evening"" the
housekeeper explained. But he
says if you have anything else on
hand, do not hesitate to tell him
not to come"
Winifred's only answer was to
hurry to the telephone and call up
Muir's apartment. Mrs. Bates, ling
ering within ear-shot, heard the
eager young voice and smiled with
satisfaction, then shook her head
as IL her second thoughts brought
regret.
Yes, do come" Winifred beg
ged. 81 have missed you, Donald.
Yes, Richard will be in for dinner,
but he has to leave at eight forty
five to attend a meeting of some
sort that always happens on Tues
day. Yes, nine o'clock will do
beautifully. Goodbye until them"
The girl went to her room to
dress for the evening. She found
herself singing happily as she
made her toilette. She had so
much to be thankful for! Richards
adoration-and her love for him;
Donald's friendship and her affec-
ton for him. And he was coming
tonight!

mo indeed" she protested,
there's no hurry about it, Dick.
Let it go for a while longer"
"Just as you please. darling"
he said. .''I do not insist on
your taking It now IL you would
rather have me keep It for you.
But I wish you would mention
to Muir that I wanted to return
it to you at once. but that you
preferred leaving it in my care"
She widened her eyes, 'Why
should. mention 1t to Donald?"
because, Winifred, do not
want him to fancy that I ever
mean to use a cent Of your
money. He has been your guar
dian, and is, I fear, a bit jealous
and he Is such a good chap
that want him to think well Of
me-for your sake az well as my
own"
She patted his cheek. It was
nice of Dick to understand how
good Donald was and to care to
keep his liking and friendship.
winifred Scott did mention the
matter Of the loan to Donald
Muir. But it was not for al
most a month after Richard had
suggested 1t.
For Donald did not come to
see her during all that time. She
wondered at his absence and
missed him more than she had
thought possible since Dick be-
longed to her. Once Richard
asked her when she had seen
Muir and she replied that he had
not come to the apartment since
the afternoon of the tea at the
Plaza. Her lover expressed sur.
prise.
Muir has always seemed so
eager to be with you." he COM
mented. But, of course, now
that you are engaged and the
management of your affairs is
definitely off his hands he does
not feel that he is needed as he
once was"
He is not needed-but I would
like to see him." she rejoined. 1T

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS -

have taken up a lot of space tell
ing you about bulletins.
I know woman who raised
ninety nine turkeys with two hens.
She put the two hens and all these
turkeys in a field of oats, many acres
Of course, and fed them every eve
ming to keep them gentle. l know
another that tries that, but she loses
at least half.
I used hens that 7 could handle
and set two hens on nine or ten
turkey eggs so as to unite the young
turkeys. l kept mine in a house
with an absolutely dry floor, of dirt,
and fed them hard 'clabber and stale
corn bread. They got nothing for
forty-eight hours and they must not
set chilled. l kept them up for two
weeks, then let them out in the
middle of the day, 1 fed them onion
tops, all they could eat, from the
time they were a week old. l also
gave them baby chick feed as Ions
as. they were confined, after that /
gave them cracked corn or scratch
feed.
can't tell you where the lice
came from, but one thing is certain,
and that is that lice will almost in
variably appear on young turkeys
before they are a month old. Don't
look for them just take it for grant
ed they are there and get a little
carbonated vaseline-just touch on
the head, under the chin, and along
the wings where the fight feathers
grow and grease the hen plentifully.
Do this before they get to looking
droopy and don't let the sunshine
on them for that will kill them.
1t makes me sick, heart sick, not
to be able to raise turkeys, but the
o-called hunters, say thieves, have
broken up this entire community.
The turkeys must range and some
of us lose them, one at time, others
have ten or twelve driven off at
once.

were the favorites in this part of

adaptable to restricted ranges.

Il BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS

crows were in the air again, and
every one began screaming at the
top of his or her lungs. Such a
racket as they made! They could
have been heard mile away. Some
of the boldest swooped in front of
him and pretended that they were
very brave by swooping down and
threatening to peck him on the back.
Hooty paid no attention to them.
He kept straight on to the tree in
which were the nest and Mrs. Hooty.
In his great claws was Mouse which
he was bringing to Mrs. Hooty. But
the instant he was rid of that Mouse
Hooty sat bolt upright on a branch
Of that tree, ruffled up his feathers,
snapped his big hooked bill and
Kissed angrily. It was daytime, but
Hootie was anything but a sleepy
looking bird.
Those noisy Crows took care now
not to get too near. There was no
chance to get behind aim unseen,
for Hooty's head would turn like a
flash so that he could look squarelY
behind him. Not IL Crow could get
near enough to strike him without
being seen. And not a crow dared
try it.
But how those Grow tongues did
go! And such brave tongues as they
were They told IIocty and Mrs.
Hooty ali sorts of dreadful things
that was going to happen to them.
They told them that they had got
to leave that nest and never be seen
there again. They told them that if
thy didn't leave at once they would
have their eyes pecked out. My, my,
my, but they were brave tongues!
Yes, indeed, they were very brave
tongues! They boasted and threat
ened and called names.
But for all the bravery Of those
tongues Mrs. Hoo+y continued to sit
on that nest, and Hooty continued to
sit on guard, kissing. swapping his
bill and growing angrier every mir
ute without showing the least sign
of fear.

may take it again. No man taketh
it from me, but I lay it down of
myself" John 1018)
The devil had done his best to keep
Jesus from the cross. He had tried
to kill Him in Bethlehem; he had
tried to lure Him from it in the
wilderness; he had tried to drown
Him in the Sea of Galilee; he had
tried to crown Him king after the
feeding of the five thousand; he had
tried to kill Him in the Garden of
Gethemane the night before-any-
thing to keep Him from dying on the
cross in the way that He did die
giving up His life of His own will
that He might take it again. Jesus
died on the cross, not because of the
devil, but in spite of the devil. True
that He was under the power Of the
devil in death but only for a time,
for He could not be holden of death.
And the devil has been a defeated
foe ever since Jesus gave up volun-
tarily His life on Calvary that He
might take it again. Calvary spelt
victory for Jesus, and defeat for
Satan. The cross is the only place
where Satan has admitted defeat.
The Cross was meant to be a place
of victory for you and for me. Cal
vary should spell victory for you
and for me, and defeat for Satan.
And it will if we experience co-cru-
cifXion@ Our sins were nailed in
His body to the tree-sins OF the
past, sins of the present, yes, sins
of the future; but in order for the
crucifixion to be effective for you,
you must reckon that true. Here
is your ungovernable temper; bring
it to the cross; that temper was in
Christ's body when it was nailed to
the tree;N Christ gained the victory
for you over Satan in the matter of
that temper on Calvary. Satan is
defeated foe as far as that temper
is concerned; he has not any more
power over you in the matter of the
fight on Calvary. Then why let him
deceive you into thinking that he
has.
Peter never got away from the suf
ferings of Christ on the cross. In
First Peter 1924 he writes: Who His

on the tree, that we, being dead to
sin; should live unto righteousness.

This is the way Of victory over the
devil. Not to fight; but to die, to be
missing. Crucified with Christ, you
die to sin; you are missing when the

he is defeated-you live unto right

The Bravery of Many Tongues
Sometimes it quite amazes me
How very brave a tongue can be
-HootY the Owl.

Usually just after jolly, round, red
Mr.. Sun began to daily climb up in
the blue, blue sky Blacky. the Crow
and his friends left their roosting
places in the Green Forest and
started out for the daily hunt for
food They scattered. some going one
way and some another. But this
morning, instead of starting out to
hunt for food, that whole flock of
Crows, with Blacky in the lead,
headed straight for another part of
the Green Forest. There had been a
little quiet talking before the start,
but as soon as they were in the air
all talking ceased.
BIacky, with Mrs. Blacky right be-
hind him, led the way straight to
that part of the Green Forest in
which was the nest they had built
and used the year before. Som of
their friends knew all about that
nest, but others had never seen it.
They flew high so as to look down.
When he was above the tree in
which was the nest Blacby circled
around All the others did the same
thing, and of course all saw the nest.
Also all saw Mrs. Hooty on the nest.
Then, still silent, they few down and
and alighted in trees surrounding
one in which was the nest. You see
they had not yet discovered Hooty,
and it was quite necessary to know
where Hooty was.
Now Hooty had been hunting late
that morning. He had arrived just
a few minutes after the Crows. One
of them saw him coming, and at
once gave the alarm. Instantly those
