There is a family OF ten young
pheasants which enjoyed miraculous
escape from death while yet in their
shells. One morning an English
gamekeeper came face to face with
stoat bearing one Of the eggs she paid
the penalty, and II was then found
that all the eggs were missing. he
suspended the dead robber In a hedge
and set trap beloY, in which her
mate was taken. Their nest was found
near by and among the baby stoats
were the missing eggs A massacre
OF innocents followed-innocents they
were, since not an egg had been
touched. The keeper bore the eggs
home in his shirt to broody fowl,
who duly Matched the young birds.

town. When Franklin had inherited
the farm and the mortgage he found
that his father had been paying per
cent interest and mentioned the fact
to his friend Martin Fairbanks.
Outrageous" said Martin. PAY
the old thief Off. Ill lend you the
money to do It and take a mortgage
from you for the amount ut per
cent" And so 1t was done.
The mortgage fell due on December
and Franklin, now being In a po-
sitlOn to do so, wanted to take 1t up.
so he wrote to Martin, who was lead.
Ing the simple life along the Great
White Way, asking him to empower
some one In MlddletOwn as his attOr-
ney to discharge the obligation. To
Franklin's surprise, for Martin seldom
visited Middletown in winter, he re-
celved a reply saying that important
business called Martin to that place on
December 8, and II Franklin would
drive down from the farm on that
date they could do business. But he
(Martln) would not arrive until s
O'Clock In the evening and would have
but few minutes to spare. This
sounded rather curious, but Franklin,
anxious to get the mortgage out of the
way, started for MIddletown on the
evening specified, regardless Of the
bowling storm and the frallty OF his
fiIvver. He had advanced as far as
l-te 81 N Thar tttaf
where the road descends the hill, the
might-have-been-expected happened. A
branch, torn from tree by the gale,
struck his windshield, smashing 1t and
cutting him about the head and face.
He lost control Of the wheel for a
second, the car SHE'D to a roadside
ditch and turned over with an explod-
ing tire and broken axle.
Franklin crawled from under the
wreck, bleeding profusely but not
otherwise much lnjured-some con
tusions and spralns and slight In.
ternal shake-up. As Franklin cleared
the momentary daze from his mind he
saw that he had been wrecked In front
Of a trim white house. the light

MUCH VIRTUE IN FRIvoLITY
Holidays, Writer Asserts, Were Set
Apart for the Exercise Of That
commendabie Quality.

A psychologist has stated that the
reason some women are kittenish IN
publlc--a trait very painful to onlook-
ers-is because they can't be kittenish
with their husbands. In somewhat
the sameaRay. II may be the husbands
who make love to other women are
usually not making love to their own
wives. Now choice assortment Of
frlyolltles enjoyed by both together
would seem an excellent method OF
keeping kittenIshness and lovemaking
from stopping over on to defense
less public.
Holidays like Christmas and
Fourth OF July and Thanksgiving are
set apart ms NATIONAL frivollty days,
though some Iong.faced mIsanthropes
try to insert serious purpose Into
them. We will do our best to keep
them pure from too much gravity, too
much worrying over the dinner, too
much preparation OF any kind sacred

sorry when the illustrations Of his
amateur surgeons were over; SO soft
and pleasing had been the touch of
Miles fingers. SO close her tempting
lips had come to his as she searched
for overlooked abrasions.
Franklin had long looked longlngly
at Millie Merriweather and had not
been mistaken In thinking that Mile
was not entirely Indifferent to him.
But between Franklin and Mile was
an intervening obstacle in the person

comely young lady Of the town, with
well-to-do parents and longing for
the good. the beautiful and the true
Caroline and Franklin were not for

people had drifted into this position
drift which Franklin had not re-
GREETED until he had come to know and
appreciate Mile. Then he secretly
kicked himself for not having taken to
his oars In time Now 1t was too late.
To break with Caroline now, he was
sure, would be to break the poor girls
heart. But as he sat there In the
Merriweather home after the doctor
had come and gone, recounting his
nights adventures, the wounded hero
OF the hour, as he looked at Miles
sympathetic face, all the more beautl-
full In Its sympathy, his heart sank at
the thought Of the drifting process of

the victim.
