taking tables, chairs and other fur
niture with him. This was great fun.
About this time, big hornet came
sailing in at the front door. Tommy
grabbed a fy-swatter and went after
him. In making a vicious slap at the
hornet, his polished shoes slipped
from under him. and he sat down
plumpi-into a bucket Of water. This
made g. change OF pantaioons neces-
sary, but Tommy didn't mind that;
he merely changed from his blue
pants to his pink ones.
In looking about, after that, 1t sud
denly occurred to Tommy that the
wallis Of the house looked mighty
bare. and that II he could paper them
while the folks were away. they
would be delighted with the result
when they came back. Fishing out

the clothes chest, Tommy proceeded
to make a large pail OF pasting liquid

Mounting o ladder which he brought
from the spring house, he took a
brush In one hand, the bucket of
paste In the other, and with q bundle
of papers under his arm. he prepared
to mount the ladder. Arriving safely
at the top. he placed the bucket of
paste on the highest rung and COM

Tommy was congratulating hinseiS
on finishing the Job-the front gate
opened and Ma and Pop Turtle, susie
and Little Billy came trooping up ths
walk, on their way back from the
bazaar.
Tommy gave a last glance At the
result OF his labor, and made q step
down the ladder TO open the door.
AS he did so, his waxed shoe slipped.
the ladder tipped over. and down
came Tommy in the middle of the
floor with the contents of the bucket
of paste on top of him. When Ma
and Pop Turtle opened the door, a
strange sight greeted them. In the
center of the room lay Tommy Turtle
covered with -four paste from his tail
to his eyebrows; paste all over the
| floor, walls, and ceiling; chairs. tables
and broken china scattered about
and the walls covered with news
papers.
Pop Turtle carried Tommy out and
put his head under the water pump
Little Billy went out and rolled in
the dust, and kicked his heels in the
air. Ma and Susie Turtle went out
side and cried awhile, and then laughed
awhile, and then cried some more.
After that Ma and Pop Turtle were
very careful about going away and
leaving Tommy to look after the
house.

|EATHER POP TURTLE was seated
Il in the chimney corner. interested
In the pictures in The Sunday Star.
Presently he looked UP over his eye
glasses.
'I see by the paper" he said. that
the Pumpkin Center folks are holdin'
a calico bazaar. Me and Ma might
take Susie and Little Billy down and
take a whirl at a little high life, for
a change. Tommy can stay home and
look after the house."
Tommy Turtle was sitting on the
other side of the fireplace, trying to
| make slingshot out of mop handle.
| When he heard Pop Turtle say that
| he had TO stay home, Tommy set up
| such a howl that the chimi ey swal-
| low, who had her nest in the caves.
| became alarmed and flew out so fast
| that she barked her shins on the
| rafters.
"Yes," Pop Turtle continued, '"Tom-
| my must stay home this time and
| keep an eye on the house, in case any
barking dogs. with long ears, should
| come shopping around" Then he
winked at Ma Turtle and looked

made away with Ma Turtles pies.

| that yet
After q good deal OF bowling on
Tommy's part, 1t was finally decided
that Tommy would remain at home
and look after the house, provided
that Pop Turtle brought him a red
balloon. a bali OF molasses popcorn
and a tew's-harp.
So, early the next morning the
whole Turtle family-with the excep-
tion of Tommy-got ready to go to
the bazaar. After a great deal of
bustling around they all got their
overshoes on, and their shawls pinned
around them properly, and an UNI
brella or two in case of rain. and
the lunch done up IN a shawl strap,
and some fresh water to take along
in an empty catchup bottle. and when
all was ready for the start, Pop
Turtle suddenly remembered that he
had forgotten his pipe. After a good
deal OF searching the pipe was finally
located in Pop Turtles inside coat
pocket. where he had put 1t himself.
Finally they all did get ready. and
the party set off for the bazaar in
high spirits. with Pop Turtle as the
head of the procession and Little
Billy for its tail. Tommy looked
after them out of the window, and
after sticking his tongue out at them
several times. he got out some books
and fishing tackle. and prepared to
while away his time the best he
could.
After about an hour had passed
away. Tommy began to feel very hun
cry. Looking about on the pantry

Tommy. 'Tll have some rice patties."

he poked the fire up in the CRATE, and
baked the rice cakes on a stone
griddle. When they were brown, and
apparently done, Tommy-who was
quite hungry by this time-tried to
bite into one of the cakes. He might
just as well have bitten into a stone.
Laying the cake on a saucer, he
brought an axe and gave the cake
a tap, to break II in two, but he only
succeeded in breaking the saucer.
Taking a second look on the shelf.
he next found some beans.
"Just the thing" said Tommy. "I'll
have some bean soup" Saying which.

and great number of beans. and went

This is done by shortening and
