; blood seemed to be racing breath
lessly : through my, body. I sat
down in chair and struggled
for poise. After a moment I
could think sanely, and decided
that if I didn't find Jim himself
hiding in the living room I'd be
sure to discover some message
from him on my desk.

through the silent hall. There
was no message of any sort.

We went over to Mr.. Weasels
house and there wasn't even the

the walls had fallen in.
Look, Foxy Grandpa! There

Sure enough, there were MI

thing, boys, must admit I am

He's such fiery little fellow and
SO fearless! Just come out with
me now into the alfalfa patch
and watch him, when we get
near his hole!
We entered the alfalfa patch
and went quietly up to the door
of the weasel house We had no

out he came. He really looked
like a big fat rat. There he
crouched as brave as a lion and
as defiant as a tiger. He honest

For the sake of his character,

TO THE
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
have been going about
with a young man whom 1 in
tended marrying. He asked me
to work after I was married, as
he thought he couldn't afford
to provide me with the luxuries
I have been used to. This
wouldn't do, so he stopped call
ing on me, and I have not heard
from him for months. He has
told certain young man to tell
me that he has another girl and
doesn't even as much as care to
hear from me. Please advise me
what to do, as I love this man
very much and can't forget him.
HEARTBROKEN.
WHY were ! you unwilling to
work and help the man you
love build up a home and fine
future? The modern woman is
proud to do her share toward
home-making and often pleads
with an over-proud man for just
the partnership privilege that was
offered you. Perhaps the young
man is really disillusioned, and
on the other hand perhaps he is
hurt and grieved and sent you the
message just in order to see what
you would do to make up for the
naughty and selfish stand you for
merly took.
II you care enough for him to
conquer your pride, you might
seek him out and ask frankly if
he really sent you the message,
which may have been garbled in
transmission to you.
If your love and happiness are
at stake, why not prove yourself
a real woman now? If you have
lost the love you now want at any
price, learn from this experience
not to think of yourself but rather
OF the person you love and so to
give the sort of love which endures
and commands faithful devotion.
