CHAPTER ee


 A TIER Lawson Mckee left me "A looked into myself to find if
 had ever wilfully done wrong and save for allowing him to come that one night after I knew that he-we both cared-I could see nothing foi which could blame myself. While the thought of him, his love for me brought a rush of happiness, warmth of emotion such as I never had expe. rienced for Manville, yet knew this love was perhaps going to make my life even more difficult. Because Manville did things of which I disapproved it was no sign he would allow me to do the same things.
 He came in while I was still sitting there. It was after eleven and knew I should be reprimanded for staying up. But some way I didn't care. The shivering fear and dread with which I had always received his reproaches were gone. Ever since I declared my self concerning his aunt, had lost all my trembling fear of him. was at last commencing to feel like a real hu- man being with human passions and the strength to express myself, instead of being merely an automaton. Of course still hesitated and still kept quiet rather than anger him, but that a metamorphosis complete and lasting had taken place in me, 1 knew. Even worm will turn and had gone crawl ing as long as it was possible. Now had turned. Would I be happier, or more miserable? One thing I knew would happen, had already happened to a degree ;I had more self-respect. So now as I looked up at Manville's frowning lace 1 neither quailed nor made apology.
 What are you doing sitting up? Haven't you been told often enough to go to bed when I am out?"
 'I have been entertaining a caller, reading and thinking" replied pleas antly.

 And shall obey you in neither case," returned quietly. Manville tried to speak, but was so angry he could not. I was really afraid he would have a stroke of apoplexy. He had turned almost purple. But I was not afraid of anything else. You see, Manville, know of the things you do. Your visits to other women, etc. surely have the same right to be at home to a casual caller as you have to make and keep appointments with Ruth Markham and others. I should love to have you remain at home with me, but if you refuse shall no longer sit alone grieving. am through with that forever"

Little Stories For Bedtime
By THoRHroN W. BuRaEss

Digger the Badger Wins Peters Respect To see another person do
 The thing that waken fear in you
 Is quite the surest way l know
 To start respect and make it grow. FIT always is that way. The funny
 thing about it is that very often
 there is no real cause for respect. That was the case with Peter Rabbit and Digger the Badger. In spite of all that had happened to him, Peter couldn't stay in the dear old Brier Patch, and the very next night after his escape fro mthe old house of John ny Chuck he was abroad again in search of new adventures. Little Mrs. Peter did her best to make him stay at home, but it was no use. You see, there was so much going on these busy dreadfully afraid he would miss some thing. You know how it is with Peter; curiosity seems to be forever driving him to poke his wabbly little nose into all kinds of places where he has no business.
 So Peter started forth just after jolly, round, red Mir. Sun had gone to bed behind the Purple Hills.. He had promised little Mrs. Peter that this time he would be very, very careful, and he had promised himself that he would try no more jokes on his neigh bors, because he had found out that jokes do not pay. He started for the Old Orchard, and this took him not far from the old house of Johnny Chuck. He had no intention of visiting it. It made him squirm all over just to think ~G l. ~i.gI~ A< prisoner there. As long as those hot tempered yellow-jackets had possession of it he would be the last to disturb doorway as he hurried along, lipperty- and at up to stare. There was some one on the doorstep looking in!
 "As live,. it is Digger the Badger" !" exclaimed Peter. Il guess he doesn't know who lives there. If he goes in I guess I'll see some fun. I'll wait, and see what happens." Peter chuckled as he thought of those yellow-jackets. It wasn't dark enough yet for them to have gone to sleep, and he felt sure that if Digger once poked his head in- side there would be a very lively time. Then, to Peters credit, he thought of how dreadfully the stings of those vel low-jackets had hurt him, and in his usual impulsive way he hurried toward Digger the Badger. He, had remembered just in time that a true Quaddy will warn his neighbors of danger.
 At safe distance he stopped. "I say, Mir. Badger, wouldn't go in there if I were you," he called.
 Digger looked up little surprised. He hadn't seen Peter until he spoke. Why not?" he grunted. N
 There are yellow-jackets in there and you'll be stung," replied Peter.
 "Huh!' grunted Digger, and began
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-07

to dig the doorway larger so that he could get in. Now, Digger the Badger is the greatest of all diggers, which is why he has been named Digger. The way he made the sand fly was a sight worth seeing. In almost no time at all he was half way in. Peter danced up and down with excitement. Look out Look out! You'll get all sung up in a minute!" he cried.
 Digger paid no attention to him at all. Perhaps he didn't hear, for he was almost out of sight by this time. In his excYrement Peter went nearer and nearer, until he was almost to the place where the sand was flying. Sud- denly he felt a sharp pain in one ear. Then he saw that the air was filled with angry yeliows5ackets. Peter didn't stop to see more. He scampered to a safe distance and then turned to see what was happening to Digger. So far as he could see, nothing was happening to Digger. He didn't seem to mind those angry yellow jackets any more than if they had been so many flies.
 ''He isn't afraid of them!' gasped Peter, and right then and there a new and very great respect for Digger was born. After a long time Digger came out. He was smacking his lips and had look of great contentment. Do you happen to know where 1 will find any more ellow-jackets' nests:" he asked.
 Peter said that he didn't, but if he found any he would surely tell him. Then he went on to the Old Orchard to tell every one whom he should meet what a brave fellow Digger the Badger was. And all the time it wasn't bravery at all on Digger's part He has such a tough skin and such thick coat that the yellow jackets simply couldn't hurt him. It often is just that way.
