and started along to find out what he
 wanted to know.
 It was easy running along there, and
 in a few minutes Danny reached the place where there was no hay. Very, very carefully he crept out from behind the hay and peeped down over the edge of that timber he had used as a sort of road. For a minute he didn't see anything alarming. Then something moved ever 50 little. Danny's sharp eyes saw it. He knew what it was. It was the tip of Black Pussy's tail. In a second he made out Black Pussy her self. She was squatting down just to one side of where Nibbler came out to that open space. She was just far enough to one side SD that Nibbler or he himself, peeping out to see if the way was clear couldn't see her and would be sure to think all was well. She was squatting there with her eyes fixed on that little opening under the hay. So this was her method of hunting in the barn! It was very simple-just waiting patiently where sooner or later Nibbler was likely to come, for of course it was Nibbler she was waiting for. She didn't yet know that Danny and Nanny were in the barn. Danny made himself con- fortable and watched Black Pussy, and Black Pussy watched the opening under the hay.

their charms, the two Witches thought that would be nice thing to do, so they made a magic dish pan and a magic dish towel and a magic sweeper and magic dust cloth, 50 that all they had to do was to say, "Hooligooly 7" to the magic things and the magic things would do all the work.
 Then the Grannys remembered that they had brought along their magic skillet and frying pans and magic clock which told fairy tales every fifteen min utes, and magic cake and cookie baker, so they went to the magic boat and brought these to the Witches.
 "Oh! I tell you what less do 7" Witch Grundy said. Less have a boarding house so that everyone passing through the forest can stop here and have nice things to eat without paying for them T"
 "Oh! let's!" Witch wiggle cried. : And as this pleased the Captains mamma very much, the forest boarding house was started, and everyone made lot of signs telling of the free boarding house and then they all, the Witches. too, got on the little magic boat and sailed all through the forest and nailed the signs to the trees, so when tbev reached home there were seventeen hun. gry people to feed. And as the magic skillet and other things did all the work. It was: lots of fun and everyone had a very nice dinner indeed.

A&wATCHER WATCHED
{By THORNTON BURGEss)

=. AWATCHER WATCHED
 Clever you think yourself, perchance Clever you are we'll all agree.
 But h you, please remember this:
 Somebody cleverer yet may be. WHEN Nibbler whispered that ths l w noise Danny heard was made by
 Black Pussy, and then scam
 pered away in great fright, Danny
 Meadow Mouse was at first inclined to think that this was another of the fool
 ish frights Nibbler was forever having
 So Danny Meadow Mouse didn't run He kept perfectly still and listened with all his might. There it was again, a slight rustling of the hay. Somebody certainly was creeping about overhead and trying to make no noise. Danny looked pleased. He was pleased. Yes, sir, Danny was pleased. Can you guess why? We'll, Danny was pleased be- cause 1t made him feel more at home. You see he was 50 used to being hunted out there on the Green Meadows that life wouldn't seem quite real if he were not hunted at all.
 Now Danny knew that if that was Black Pussy she couldn't possibly reach them down under all that hay. In fact he couldn't see how any one could get at them there. Out on the green Mead ows Reddy Fox had hunted him by fol- lowing his private little paths. Black Pussy had done the same thing some times, though never as cleverly as Reddy Fox. But there they could walk through the grass, while here Nibbler's runways were under things and behind things where no one bigger than a mouse could possibly get through. So Danny was very curious to know how Black Pussy hunted. #s.
 Danny listened as hard as ever he could. All was still. He couldn't hear single suspicious sound. Had Black Pussy left? He had feeling that she hadn't. But if she hadn't where was she and what was she doing? Danny felt that he would be easier, very much easier in his mind, if he knew,
 You stay right here until I come ing to find out a few things we very live here." Nt'
 Don't you go! Don't you dare go and leave me here all alone!" whispered Nanny. But Danny had slipped out and away, and although she grabbed at his tail to try to pull him back she was just too late.~
 There are some advantages in a short tail," chuckled Danny. "If my tail had been as long as Cousin Nib- bler's I fear Nanny would have caught me by it that time."
 He scampered along the passage he was in under the hay until he came to the place where the hay ended. a very small clear space. He remembered that Nibbler had led him across there and had said that that was his playground He was just about to run out for look around when he changed his mind
 If there really is any danger that is where it will be-" thought he. II ought to look the place over. I really ought to. I wonder if Cousin Nibbler knows of any place where I can see and not be seen. I believe I'll go ask him."
 Danny found Nibbler hiding in his own house, though he wouldn't admit | that he was hiding. Danny knew he | was, however, because of the hard work | he had to get Nibbler to come out and show him what he wanted. At last

"Oh! I know we shall!" Witch Grundy replied. Ut is fun playing hired girls and doing useful work!"
 The little Captains nice mamma heard the two Witches talking and she smiled, for she knew, too, that when ever we do something which helps an- other and makes their work lighter, we not only help the other persons, but we help ourselves as well; and, of course, that adds to everyone's happiness.
 So, when the Captains nice mamma heard the two Witches talking, she said to Raggedy Ann, Do you spect the two Witches will get tired of pretend

 "Oh, no! I do not spect sol" Rag gedy Ann replied, "'Cause you see, if Witch Wiggle and Witch Grundy grow tired washing the dishes and sweeping the floors and doing the other work, they can use their magic charms to make things to do the work for them 7"

 INA asked me question the other
 day that nearly took my breath
 away. It was simply this
 What qualities do most men admire h girls?n'
 At first I was going to tell her that iery man demands a different out auding quality in every girl and that Ehe best compliment a man can pay a Eirl and usually manages to pay her, if |he likes her well enough, is to murmur, f'You're so different, my dear!" But, on second thought, there is a pertain formula, a list of a few set rules which think the average man likes to have his girl observe. So gave them to Nina.
 To Start With To begin with, I have found that be most popular girls are good listen Is rather than good takers. While (e girl who is a good conversationalist scinates men for few moments, it is e girl who lets them do most of the king who seems to win out in the Ing run. Men love to talk about them yes, their work. their love of sports, the girl who is capable of listening them and showing that she is inter- ed has winning card.
 Another quality that the average man reciates in a girl is agreeableness CT all conditions. Never nag a man being late. Meet him at the door n -a smile. :. A sense of humor is a quality that arly every suitor demands. The girl ho takes love too seriously is apt to se If she lets the man see how much e cares before he declares his love her. Get the best jokes out of life d have them ready for him when he Us. Tell him the amusing little incl nts that you see in the subway, at the rper grocery and everywhere in life. kkep him kughing and you will have a and between you that will never die. Never allow him to see that you are ealous of another girl. Have faith in lOursef and try to convince yourself hat he is attractive to her because she , your friend or perhaps just to test our eyes out and find 'out whether hey are green or not. The man who ra11y loves you will never desert you another girl.
 There is no quality a man so appre- es in a girl as that of boise, equi lium and knowing what to do under circumstances. Don't appear ruffled little things, don't pout, don't show fy thought that passes through your in.
 No BoIdness very man naturally dislikes the girl speaks in a loud voice or who to attract attention to herself by | ling or talking so that others can her. Many a man has ceased to
