 He had strained me to him and was raining kisses on my face in sort of blind fury before I could resist him. But I had heard all he had said and his words incensed and froze me at the same time. I saw how entirely he mis- understood me. I loved him, yes. And had felt I was wronging no one be- cause he had told me I was not. l felt that his standard of me was a low one. 1 resented his embrace, pushing him from me.
 You don't understand me in the least, Lawson" I said, trying to speak calmly. What a contemptible creature you seem to think me. I do love you that. l cannot help-now. But I am Manville's wife, the mother of his child. 1 never shall be anything else-never!" :"
 Do forgive me, Susan" He lifted my hand to his lips. T lost control of myself when I saw you alone and looking so sweet. I can't understand you-yet I do. It is your sweetness that makes it possible for you to live unhappily because you think you are doing right. But some day you will come to me, Susan. feel it here" He put his hand on his heart. And until that time I shall try and not of- fend again. Let us be good friends, Susan. Don't banish me because of what 1 have done."
 Yes, Lawson, friends as long as you yourself let it be possible"

 Over there near the foot of the hill below the Old Orchard" replied Jimmy, wondering what under the sun Digger wanted to know for. Did you ever meet any angry yellow-jackets!"
 "A few times, just a few times," re- piled Digger, still with that far-away, dreamy look in his eyes. T think them rather nice, don't you?'
 ''Whatw exclaimed Jimmy. He was sure that he couldn't have heard right.
 T think them rather nice, don't you:" repeated Digger,
 No. I don't" retorted Jimmy short ly. They are too hot-tempered to suit me. They sting first and ask af- terward what your business is. I don't like that kind of people"

 Didn't you ever dig out a yellow jackets home?" inquired Digger, look ing surprised.
 No, never have and never intend to- replied Jimmy. II think too much of my feelings to do anything so fool ish as that"
 And it is because I think so much of my feelings that do it every chance I get,' replied Digger, batting his stomach.
 Then you must have a mighty thick skin," retorted Jimmy.
 II have" replied Digger. Come up to that old house of Johnny Chuck's with me and I will show you how to dig out those yellow jackets"
 Thank you," said Jimmy Skunk very politely, but I think I will be excused. Now think of it, have an errand to do. Goodbye"

Digger the Badger Hears What
 HannAned
By THoaHroM ". BURGESS


 nIGGER THE BADGER lives very AH much by himself. He Is a great home body, is Digger the Badger. You will seldom find him far from his own doorstep. In this respect he is much like Johnny Chuck. To be sure. he has to go a little farther away from home than does Johnny because he doesn't live wholly on plants as does Johnny, who always can find some thing to eat right in his own door yard. Digger has to do a little hunt ing. But excepting when he is out house or very near it.
 Ever since he had come to live on the Green Meadows the other little peo- pie had regarded him as rather queer fellow The littlest ones were afraid of him. The others politely called on him at first. He was very polite, but he didn't invite them to call again and made it clear that he wasn't at all lonely. and so they left him very much to himself, which, if the truth be known, very much suited him. He wasn't abroad a great deal in the day time, preferring to do his hunting after dark, like some others we know of. The result was that his neighbors didn't know great deal about him. The only real neighborly neighbor he had was Old Man Coyote. In fact, they were quite friendly. Peter Rab- bit was sure that he had seen them hunting together. But you know Peter is forever seeing things. It may have been that they were simply out to take the air together. It certainly would seem queer for such long-legged fellow and such a short-legged fellow to go hunting together. Still you never can tell.
 Jimmy Skunk happened around once in while, just to pass the time of day. Jimmy early discovered that Digger is a cousin of his, although there is little family resemblance. Ever since then he has felt it matter of duty to drop around once in a while for a chat. He did this the day after his wild ride down hill in barrel and told Digger all about it. Digger laughed until his fat sides shook. Then, when Jimmy told him about what had happened to Peter Rabbit and how he had been kept a prisoner in the old house of Johnny Chuck by the yellow jackets, which, you know, are kind of hornet or wasp, he sat up and took notice.

FRANCES BROWN

Frances Brown was born at Stran- erlar, County Donegal, in 1816. Her father was the postmaster of the vil- lage. She lost her eyesight when she was IS months old, yet in later years she acquired great acknowledge and became a poetess of renown, receiving the title of "The Blind Poetess of Ulster" She acquired her taste for literature, in fact her intellectual taste was first awakened, by the preaching of the village pastor. She began by having children's books read to her, then the works of Walter Scott, Milton, Byron and others and finally, when she was about 20, she sent some poems she had written to the editor of a London paper. He accepted them and from that time on Frances Brown peri odicals. She died about 30 years ago.

''The American smart woman ages early. far earlier than the English woman" says Christian Miller, F. c. l., famous English health expert. She adds that our climate ''so exhilarates that you over-exert yourselves and grow old before you know it. That same exhilarating air dries the skin. The skin that lacks mois- ture grows pale and withered looking and soon forms wrinkles.

 W ES-the minister would be horri-
 fled at Lois lack of loyalty to
 her own flesh and blood.
 He could not know it was love of him that had made Lois keep silence. He must not suspect she was jealous of his admiration of Marian and had hoped that in finding her at dance hall he would shrink from her as from something unclean.
 Perhaps he had shrunk from her. Perhaps, even now, he was thinking of her with abhorrence.
 For moment this hope sprang up in the girls breast. But it died when she remembered that even this would not lessen Summers contempt for the person who had let her own sister walk into trap!
 No matter how he might regard Ma rian's degradation, he would never ex- cuse Lois for her part in making that degradation public. She had lost him forever.
 Unless Marian saved the situation 1!
 The grandfather's clock struck three. Only six minutes since it had chimed the hour. The girl felt as if a whole night of darkness and doubt had passed since then.
 She could not bear it any longer. Marian must help her. She was her sister and it was her duty to relieve such misery as poor Lois had suffered since their parting at midnight.
 For, after all, Marian's profession had been at the root of all the trouble. Had she chosen some more reputable and conventional line of work all would .1 D. aI.n about dancing that she must select that! It was cruelty hard on her sis ter.
 Self-pity surged up in Lois heart. Somebody ought to be as sorry for her as she was for herself. Harold Sumner might be-if she had not in- cured his probable condemnation by keeping her promise to Marian and to him.
 Marian must show him that this was the only sin of which her poor lit- tie sister had been guilty.
 But how make her do this? There was only one way-and that was to enlist her sympathies.
 The memory of Marian's fierce de- nunciation of few hours ago made the possibility of doing this seem unlikely.
 But Lois must try. She must throw herself upon her sisters mercy. Her father had always said that Marian was broad and big in her ideas. Let her prove it now!
 Lois remembered suddenly how the daughter had condoned the fathers use of church money. Yet some people would have called this act dishonesty. His youngest child's loyalty moved her to justify it.
 She must look at her sisters mis- takes in the same charitable light!
 Lois donned her wrapper and bed slippers. and crept across the dark hall to Marian's room.

It might seem natural that the best mulch for strawberries should be straw, but old hay, grass clippings or any kind of litter that will keep the ground moist and prevent the growth of weeds is just as efficient. When a mulch is used between the rows while the straw berries are ripening, it keeps them out of the dirt so that they come to the table clean and free from grit, even after heavy rains. A mulch, there- fore, does double duty and is very much worth while.
