watching him. laughed. "Well, what do you think of that?" said he to his mother. "The rascal is making him self at home here as if he intended to stay. I suppose I ought to take him back to the barn, but he loks so com fortable, I hate to distrub him.
 Leave him right where he is," said Mrs. Brown, quite as if that settled the matter. q guess Black Pussy can get along without her bed for a while"
 T wonder what she'll say when she finds out who is in it." chuckled Farm CT Browns Boy. T hope I'm around when she does. l believe I'll call her" :"
 He went to the door and called and called, but Black Pussy did not appear. The truth is she was watching for Danny Meadow Mouse out in the barn. sure that this time she would catch him. All the time Danny was watch. ing her and laughing to himself. Black Pussy would have to have more pa- tience than she ever had had in order to catch him. But Black Pussy didn't know this, and thought she heard Farmer Browns Boy calling her, she paid no attention.
 It was long. long time after this that she gave up her watch for Danny, disappointed but very sure that she would catch him the next day. On her way through the barn she passed the box where Bobby Coon had been while his leg was healing. Of course, she had discovered Bobby there long before and she had taken great pains to keen away from that box. She didn't an prove Of Bobby at all and she had a great deal of respect for his size and his teeth and claws.
 Now as she started to go around the box she noticed that it had been moved a little and something whispered to her that it was empty. Black Pussy paused and stared very hard at the hox Then, very softly she crept up on sn- other box from which she could look into Bobbys box. It was empty.
 Hes gone. and I'm glad of it." nut tered Black Pussy, twitching the end Of her tail. ''These people from the Green Forest should stay where they belong. Ever since that miserable coon came here Farmer Browns Boy has hardly noticed me. Now, perhans I'll get little attention"
 with this Black Pussy jumped down and went into the house. The door was opened just then, and she walked into the kitchen. It struck her right away that there was something oueer there, She didn't know just what if was, but she had that feeling.

LITTLE BEDTIME STORY
Black Pussy Loses His Bed
By THoRNroM ". svReEss

DoBBY COON had decided that he Dliked Farmer Browns kitchen. It was a comfortable place, and it was filled with pleasant smells that tickled his nose every time he drew breath. What some of those pleasant smells came from he had just found out from the good things Mrs. Brown had given him to eat. His box in the barn where he had stayed while his broken leg was getting well was very comfortable, very comfortable indeed, but out there there were no such delicious smells.
 'I think I'll stay right here," thought Bobby. as on three legs he explored that kitchen and examined everything in it. Now that his stomach was SO full that it was really uncomfortable, he began to feel sleepy. Besides, he was growing tired. You know, he had not used his legs for some time, and then, too, he wasn't used to walking on three legs, and he couldn't yet use that leg which had been broken There was no feeling or strength in it.
 Presently back of the kitchen stove he found box, and in that box a bed. It was very nice, comfortable looking bed. Bobby's nose told him that some one else was in the habit of sleeping in it, but that troubled him not at all.
 This looks good to me-" said Bobby to himself. q don't know who it be- longs to, and I don't care. If they are big enough to turn me out of it, which I very much doubt, all right. Until they do this bed is going to be mine"

 Garth and Diana were to be mar ried. It came as a surprise to every one, although knew he was fond of her. I gave Natalie 8 check.

Heads turned and whispered comments on her beauty reached me as we walked down the aisle of the church together. But of pride that I might have felt at own ing some lovely and fragile ornament. She was mine and--not mine.
 Now that my financial affairs no longer gave me cause for uneasiness my thoughts turned still more often to the unsatisfactory life we were leading together. Often I almost wished I never had interferred. had let her go on with her extravaganza, her pleasure seeking, her money-wasting ways. At least she had appeared happier then. Yet knew it could have gone on but little longer and that it might have brought crash, trouble to me in my relations with the firm.
 Often I made up my mind to once more try to talk with Natalie, try and find out--if possible--how she really felt. toward me, to try to make her de- clare herself. But always when the time came either had not the courage

I made uu my mind she cared nothing for me. i My home was perfectly kept, my food delicious. and my friends were always made welcome. I was counted very fortunate and happy man.

WE WOMEN
How My Wife Has Helped Me
By N. jEssfE LEircH

r HAVE asked Frank McGlynn to A tell me how his wife has helped him. It is interesting for man to take stock of his life and to ascertain just how responsible his wife is for his achievements.
 Mir. McGlynn is a remarkable actor who go successfully portrayed the character of Abraham Lincoln in Drinkwater's play of that name. Mir. McGlynn deserves great deal of credit for his long and somewhat unsuccessful struggles on the stage before he was discovered for the Lincoln part. Dur ing all this time, driven to the neces- sities of providing for his six children, he was encouraged and helped by his wife. His was an experience which would have discouraged most men for he was 5 years old before success came to him. z.
 The following is the letter Mfr. Me Glynn writes to me:
 My Dear Miss Brainerd: .
 "Your favor of February 2S, reached me a few days ago.
 My wife has helped me by being at all times devoted and loving.
 By having an abiding faith that I could not fail.
 By refusing to admit defeat.
 By bearing sturdily her share of heavy burdens.
 By being wonderful mother of our six children.
 By following devoutly the teachings of our Catholic faith.
 By her fine sence of humor under trying conditions.
 And by possessing that fighting spirit of her Irish ancestry, which never gives up the struggle.
 T trust this answers your question and remain,
 Yours very truly,
 FRANK McGLYNN."

but what in the world were you barking at?"
 "Well sir!" the little rag dog re- piled, "just as you started walking away, looked up this great tree and saw two cunning eyes looking down at us! So I believe it is the person we are hunting!"
 ! The Raggedys looked up into the great tree above their heads and then knew why the footsteps had ended right there. For. in the top of the tree was a little house made of sticks and leaves and hanging at the door was rope ladder. The mean person had climbed up to his house upon the rope ladder and had drawn it up be- hind him, so that no one could fol- low.
 "Now we must think of some way to fool him and get up to the little house !" Raggedy Ann said as she led the way a short distance into the woods where they could talk without being overheard.

 Perhaps I could manage chauffeur after all, I thought. But to my sur prise Natalie said nothing about hav- ing a chauffeur and after uncle left nothing more about the car or him.
 She quickly learned to drive, but said nothing about taking me downtown or calling on me. On Sundays and when we went out in the eaevening 1 drove, Natalie sitting quietly beside me, pleas ant, imperturably cool and distant.
 I know by the speedometer that she took long drives, yet she rarely men tioned where she had been unless she invited companion.a But she was less restless and astonished me occasionally by saying she preferred to remain at home when I proposed going out Grown keen because of what had learned from her brother, I noticed she. had done nothing toward ,replenishing her wardrobe. She did, not want to go allowance was ample Could she me what he had borrowed from me to pay her mothers bills?
 I had spoken what I believed to be the truth when told Uncle Robert that Natalie might be happier away from me; Often the question trembled on my lips yet never did it pass them. I was afraid to ask her-afraid of her answer.
 One thing delighted me. Natalie no longer refused to go with me to call or dine with Uncle Robert, and often now he came to us. Yet even my joy in this was tempered by sadness as it made her coolness to me the more no. ticeable. s1ss

My Neighbor Says:

Iodine stains may be removed starched materials by soaking stained parts in amonia, diluted with water.
 Children like to play with paper dolls. Try pasting them on coarse muslin and they will last much longer.
 Prunes, to be properly cooked, should be stewed very, very slowly for at least two successive days. The prunes will come out whole, soft and tender. and with the richest, most de- licious jaice.
 When making peppermints waxed paper is much better to drop them on than a pan. If waxed paper is placed in a pan and made to fit the corners the candy comes out easily when cool.
 An ordinary steel nut-pick is a handy kitchen tool. It can be used to remove the tops from milk bottles and to remove the rubbers from jars.
 Old whisk- -brooms, when the worn part is cut off squarely, make splen- did sink brushes.
 Add little borax to the water in which the kitchen towels are washed. It removes the dirt and grease, gives then good color and acts as disinfectant.
 To brighten gold braid give it a thorough brushing, then sprinkle pow dered alum all over it and let it stay on for two or three days. Then brush it off.
