Today's Short Story

Something gripped her heart-a fear, a sHrmise, an actual experience of devas- tation. She went forward a little way and sat down on a bench heavily.
 My fox-glove!" she moaned. My sweet-scented evening stock My can terbury bellsl All gone." It was like viewing one's premises after a destruc- tive storm. Lewis had, indeed, wrought surprise.
 Within her Emma felt rising a strange symptom. She did not recogn- .ize it upon the instant because she had never before in all the fourteen years of her married life entertained any such feeling toward her Lewis. She was angry, dreadfully angry! He had ruined her work of days, even weeks. His ruthless sickle had laid low her precious, old-fashioned plants just beginning to break into bloom.
 .'He has no business to go into my garden" she said to herself. "It's the first time he ever did such a thing. What possessed him? I'll never for give him, never"
 She could not bear the sight of the devastation and she returned to the house and began to, attack her neglected tasks furiously. Work calmed her. She began to see reason. If she said what she wanted to say to her husband he would be awfully hurt. He was of a sulky, sullen disposition and very sen sitive. She saw where more damage than her plants had suffered might be wrought by word.
 When Lewis came home to lunch she was her usual placid self.
 al for you yesterday" he inquired at once. My garden is so weedy that thought yours might be, so I went in there with my sickle and slew few weeds. I thought it would save you lot of hard work. Come on, let's go out and see how things look today"
 He took her arm and almost forcibly led her from the house through the green gate. Emma had never gone anywhere so reluctantly.
 They had advanced a little way into

fore he must depend on some one else to catch them for him, and that some one is Plunger.
 On this particular morning that Plunger had had to be so patient in order to catch fat fish to take home to Mrs. Plunger, sitting on the eggs in their nest in the Green Forest, it had come into the head of Old King Eagle that he was hungry for fish. The more he, thought about it the hungrier he grew. Sitting on the stump of tree on the edge of cliff of the Big Noun. tain he could SC the Big River like a silver ribbon in the distance-that is it would have looked like silver rib bon to you or to me had we been in his place. But so wonderful and keen are the eyes of King Eagle that he could see the Big River clearly. He could see no more. He could see Q speck sailing back and forth over the Big River, and he knew that that speck was Plunger the Fish Rawk. Old King Eagle chuckled. My fish erman is fishing for me, but he doesn't know it." said he. Then he spread his wonderful great wings and sailed out and up, like the royal master oi the air that he is. Up, up he flew until he was but speck in the sky to any one watching from below. Straight toward the Big River he flew; and there in the majestic, great circles he sailed round and round three times as far above Plunger as Plunger was above the Big River. Plunger, his eyes fixed on the water below, knew nothing of King Eagle above him. So Plunger flew patiently back and forth and round and round over the Big River, watching sor fish, and cloud-high above him King Eagle swung in great circles watching Plunger.
 He laughed aloud, did Old King Eagle, when at last Plunger shot down into the water with a great splash and presently Tapped upward heavily with big fat fish in his claws and then headed straight toward the Green Forest. In his turn King Eagle shot downward. The rustic of his great wings was heard by Plunger, who look ed up with both fear and anger in his eyes.
 Tribute! Give me tribute !'' cried Old King Eagle fiercely.
 'sI won't! It is my fish, for ] caught it p screamed Plunger.
 Tribute! Tributew demanded Old King Eagle more fiercely than before
 Still Pllinger clung to the fish foi which he had waited So long and pa tiently.
 T won'ti" he screamed again, and this time there was an answering scream. It was Mrs. Plunger. She had heard him and now was coming swiftly to aid him. So Plunger clung nor,

Wants To Cure Her Baby's
 Temper

My baby is ten months old. and as a rule is 8 very sweet-natured child. But, am sorry to say, she displays temper at times, when she is displeased at what do for her. I should like very much to destroy this. temper before she grows older. Hence I ask for your advice as to how I can accomplish this."
 MRS. E. D. G.
 a&
 A TEN months old baby is not olC A enough to reason with. And {
 baby is subject to anger and rag when it's arms are pinned down tightl, to its sides or when it is subjected il other ways to any force which hindert its movements or prevents them.
 This is a perfectly natural and nor nal reaction and is just the same kinC of thing as squirming when you ar' tickled. It doesn't mean the baby ii bad, but that he is just normal.
 Of course if he exhibits his state oi internal discomfort-for that is wha he has when he shows his temper too aften, then have a good doctor @ over minor, pardon me, her-care fully to see if she has worms of if hel bodily functions are in good working order. The body is machine ant when anything is the matter with i trouble results, of which temper" il just one manifestation.
 If there ever was a baby who didn't raise Gain once in a while 1t prob ably died of ennui long before it wal ten months old. Don't worry, a few fits of anger won't hurt her now or la ter.
 Anyway, would you want her to grow up into a nice, pious damsel who would never, no, never, Hose her temperY ? Remember, no one ever loses his tenn per; he uses it. And that is some times quite as necessary as to soft pedal it; as long as there are thugi and ruffians in this world so long vii people have to fight. And do you know that when you are just mad enougf to bite," as the good old saying is you can fight twice as well?
 Your baby is probably just normal She can't help it that she came iron ancestors who had to fight or get killed and consequently has inherited theil emotional reactions. Do you under stand? A little later she will under stand better that you don't mean tt disturb her and things will go better
 If children could only. be born thre, years old it might be better. And ther again it mightn't.

 Iy to the. straight frock. She
 appears as slender and as supple as a new string bean. Indeed, the pastures into which her youthful part ners throw her on the dance floor could be equaled only by. the victim of the jiu-jitsu hold.
 To see girl with stomach thrown out foot ahead of her shoulders and her elbows cramped in such a way as to suggest an endeavor to poke herself in the back, is a common sight. It is not pretty nor elegant, in the old-fashioned sense, but it is the mod ern way in which members of the younger set interpret the dance, and the slender frocks of course aecentuate it. 8ia
 One design is typicalIy ingenious. In fact, it's simplicity both of cut and line make is possible for the young girl to follow it out for herself, for there are few girls who have not been taught the rudiments of sewing.
 And this little frock is all plain straight sewing, on a plain, flat foun- dation. The front has two groups of tucks run down neck to hip line, with narrow panel distance between. This panel is trimmed with buttons, which continue down to the very edge of the skirt. A band of contrasting fabric and color incloses the>tucked section with decorative effect, ais you will see, and the same color is introduced again as finish for the sleeves and for the edge of the skirt. A prettily shaped col lar of organdie also uses it as a finish ing detail while the bow which ties it is of the dress fabric. This might be of soft linen or tub silk or crepe de chine. A finely printed pattern of crepe de chine trimmed with plain silk would be very smart and practical. Tan, printed in red, black and white, would be pretty trimmed with plain red, white buttons and organdie collar and black ribbon tie.

two involved sui fer or are touched by it. But in the case of young mar ried people the situation is of neces- sity more complicated and much more serious. I touched on this in my last article. We are all tired of the per ennial mother-in-law joke; through years of using it the idea has been much exaggerated. But the old saying. Where there is smoke there is fire, holds good in this case.
 Sometimes uncohsciously, sometimes consciously, a mother -in-law is often the cause of friction, unhappiness and even permanent misunderstanding. The most common cause 1 believe to be jealousy on the part of the mother ---and that is why it is more apt to be the mans mother who strikes the discordant note than the girls. She may not realize her jealousy of the girl who has become first in her sons thoughts; she probably would be sur prised and hurt if she were told she was in any way disturbing her sons life and his future happiness. Yet if she were honest with herself she would realize that she resents this stranger who has become a part of her sons life and who must of necessity (no mat ter how sweet and thoughtful both the son and his wife may bel rele- gate her to second place.
 If the mother is the right sort she recognizes this instructive jealousy and refuses to give way to it, and if the girl is the right sort she will trp to make a place for herself in the mothers affections. Then, with tact on both sides, a genuine friendship and affec- tion can spring up. But any of us who find ourselves in the position either of entering a ready-made family, or of adding a new and close member to our own, should not forget that it is rearely an easy situation and demands as a rule tact and tolerance on both sides.
 I can heartily smpathize with par ents whose child marries someone who is entirely uncongenial or even ex- tremely irritating to them. Difficult and disappointing though it may be. however, I have no sympathy with any parent who allows this feeling, how ever, of antagonism to be noticed by the child. After all, it simply means occasional hours of irritation or bore dom to them-really an unimportant thing. But their showing it or allow ing it to be the cause of friction be- tween them, and their son or daugh- ter, may mean unhapiness for every one.
 Consequently, though I think there should be great effort on the part of the new member in the family, think there should be still greater effort on the part of the parents.
 ; In my next article I will give some ideas I think helpful to both sides.

Zumzee was planning how he could out wit the Raggedys and their friends and capture Mrs. Mingle's cunning little magical cottage all for his very own.
 Less see!" the Zumzee unused as he stretched his head. If I put an- other barrel around my waist and an iron pot on my head, they will make magical firecrackers come inside the barrel and they burn. I must think of another way. The Thingum has a new silver sword and with that he may try to cut off my ears!''
 "But you haven't any ears, foolish Zumzee :" a Snickle laughed as he walked out in front of the Zumzee and looked him over.
 That is quite true, Snickle p the Zumzee said after he had felt all around

his head. .'The Thingum can't cut off my ears, that's what !"
 "I will give you a fine sword, Zum- e!" the Snickle said. Then you can cut off the Thingum's ears" So the Snickle gave the Zumzee a very large sword and the Zumzee ran to Mrs. Mingle's cottage crying, Here I come to cut off the Thingum's ears! Here I come! You had better run!'
 My goodness Here comes the Zumzee with a long sword!" Raggedy Ann cried.
 "Ha!'' the Thingum said, who's afraid of an old Zumzee, even if he has a long swordY' So the Thingum ran out with his silver sword in his hand to meet the Zumzee and I 'spect the two creatures will have very hard fight, maybe,

 "Why, that's the surprise, dear. ] worked like a beaver to get it done before you got home. I've had my eye on that urn for weeks, but it was pretty expensive. The florist supplied the geraminums, of course. Do you like it.?

The Kind Demands Tribute

The king is great! The king is strong The king, good sir, may do not wrong l! TyHE king of the birds is Old King
 Eagle, as every one knows. He
 is king because his father was king before him, and his fathers father, and so on way back to the long ago time when the world was young. To him all the other feathered folk yield and pay homage because by virtue of his great strength and courage he is their lord and master. Now, Old King Eagle is for the most part wise and just ruler. He does mot have to be waited on, as do kings among men. He does his own hunting: He demands no tribute, save in one thing.
 Of course, you know what tribute is. Tribute is a gift from the weak to the strong, gift not offered will ingly by the giver, but demanded by the one to whom it is given, Kings are very apt to demand tribute from those over whom they rule. But Old King Eagle demands no tribute from his subjects, save one, and that one

take any kind of goodies she wished. So all she had to do was to turn the knob of the cupboard door and wish for as much ice cream and cake, or anything else she might think of and reach inside and get it. A magical cupboard like that is worth having, I cah tell you. That was one reason why the Zumzee wanted to chase Mrs. Min gle and her friends from the cunning little cottage. He was very selfish and he wanted to live in the cottage and have all the nice things for himself.
 "I 'spect the Zumzee is sitting in the brook cooling off" Captain Thingum said, "for when he ran away the Zum- zee's clothes were smoking from the firecrackers P' The Zumzee, however, was not sitting in the brook cooling off as the Thingum said. Instead, the

Hearts of T'OO
CHAPTER 191

HE DID not understand her seem
 ing reluctance, and she could not
 explain that her employer had urged her to accept the polite advances of lis patrons.
 'It can do you no harm" Roscoe had said. 'To dance here with a man com mits you to nothing. And-lt may add to your popularity"
 She had not agreed to this-yet Would dancing with Frederic Parker be the entering wedge? Would Roscoe expect her to yield to the demands of other patrons if she yielded to Par ker's?
 These questions flashed through hel mind as she stood hesitating by tht only friend she had in New York. A shadow of disappointment came to his face and he murmured an apology,
 "I beg your pardon if I have takeI too great iberty"-he began.
 You have not !" she exclaimed i'm pulsively. T would love to dance with you"
 He flashed a grateful smile at her "I will be waiting here when the next waltz begins," he said.
 She hurried off to her dressing room to wait for the next waltz. In accept ing Parker's invitation to dance she had established a precedent for other men-men whom she did not know-tc dance with her. Well, she did not care She was not going to wound this man because of what must seem to him 6 mere whim. And she could not, or would not, explain conditions to him. No matter what happened, 1t was worth while, she decided later as she waltzed with Frederic Parker. In Fair town she had been impressed by his strength, his magnetism, the sense of protection that he gave her. Tonight she felt this multiplied a hundredfold It was with a sigh of regret that she heard the mustic stop.
 q am going to wait and take you home," Parker told her. T have my car here"
 Ut will be very late," she warned him.
 T don't care!" he replied with something of the reckleness she felt. When you have done your last num- Der shall be at the side entrance with my car"
 wrapped in her cloak, she started to leave the restaurant. Roscoe checked her long enough to smile his approval. T was glad to see you dancing with one of our patrons" he remarked.
 Tt was MT. Parker" she reminded him-"not a stranger
 But he turned away as if he had not heard her.
