Hearts Of T.Oo
CHAPTER 21t


 Y YE had been to the sick room sev- eral times lately to see the pa-
 tient. Lois had averred that it was a comfort to her to have him do this. Now he stood with her for a mo- s ment at the bedside looking down at the motionless figure, then followed her as she moved across the room and sat down, Standing above her he regard { ed her fixedly.
 What are you thinking of?" she E asked
 "Of what am always thinking when I am with you-Of how sweet and pa- tient you are, and how hard all this is for you. I hope that the knowledge of my affectionate sympathy is of some solace to you.''
 But for you I do not know how I : would stand it." she said tremulously. ''Sometimes"-with a timid glance at him, T may get to the point where AI shall be more sure of things than I now am. Now, I dread that I may in some way forfeit your regard"
 It was a bold bid for an open decla- kation of devotion. It had the desired effect.
 You need have no fear along those lines, Lois," the minister said sol ! emnly. "With each day that passes I am more sure that you and I were meant for each other. I have sug- gested our waiting for while before we become formally engaged-because this is only fair to you. You are young and inexperienced, and I want you to he sure of your own heart. But at ! Christmas-I shall ask you to let me tell you all that is within my own { heart. By the way, will your sister come home for Christmas?"
 A fear with which Lois was already familiar seized her at this question Were Marian-bright, interruptions I viyaeious-to appear while matters ! were in their present uncertain state. I the minister's head might be turned ' by her-as it had been turned once before

"She has not proposed coming and as she is satisfied where she is and is making the money she needs for liv- ing in New York why should I urge her to come back home? Tn plain words, Harold'-she always hesitated for an instant before speaking the name he insisted that she use-"she is happy h the circle she is in in New York"
 1T can well believe that" the man said. T have not questioned you about what she is doing-as you have seemed averse to telling me. But from what you have said take it for granted ' and hope-that she has found some con 1 genial and more proper way of earn { ing her living than whe she was here ?'' "Yes--she is in a wealthy musical circle now" Lois affirmed quickly. "I thought I mentioned that to you You see, she knows some New York peonle --Ahi' interrupting herself and rising 1 as Mrs. Fisher appeared in the doorway

 "We won't know why, Mort, until she can tell us. But no one but we two must enter her room. The doctor says she may be delirious.''

 We took our places beside her, Mort did not leave the house. Clifford, when he learned Lucille was dangerously i'll with fever, assuring him he could get along very well alone.
 Two days she lay like one dead |: then, as the doctor feared, she tossed and tumbled in delirium. In broken sentences we learned from her lips the truth. Over and over she told the story that, bit by bit, we pieced to- gether.
 At the party she had overheard Ray talking of her to another young man.
 You said Frank must be fool to think you would marry boOtlegger's daughter--oh, why did you say it, Ray ? I would love you just the same, no mat ter what your father had lone-Ray-I can't bear it--I can't bear it."
 So she raved, Mort kneeling beside the bed, his face hidden. while I held the poor little hands, not knowing what to, say to comfort him, my own heart breaking.

 Once she seemed to have lucid mo- ment. I shall always be thankful Mort was bending over her at the time. Housing from doze. she opened her eyes and said softly: Dear dear!" n

The Wood Mouse Makes Buster Bear
 Run

The Wood Mouse Makes Buster Bear
 Run |NF all the little people who live in the Green Meadows, WhitefOOt
 the Wood Mouse, own cousin to Danny Meadow Mouse, is one of the smallest. the most beautiful and the most timid. They say of Whitefoot that he actually tries to run away from his own shadow, and that the sound of his own voice makes him jump. Of course we don't believe this. It is just way of saying that he is very, very timid. But I guess you and I would be just as timid were we in Whitefoot's place. You see he is such little fellow, such a dear little fellow l! He has no way of protecting himself except by running away and hiding He is too little to fight. So it isn't that he is coward that makes him so timid. It is because he knows if he is caught he can do nothing to. help himself. and because he knows tLat night and day sharp eyes are watching fo.' him, and wonderful noses are trying to find him. s
 You see there are many people who -are fond of Whitefoot, very fond in- deed. Not in the way that you and l are fond of him, but as a choice tid- bit for their stomaches. So they are for ever hunting for him--in the daytime most of the members of the Hawk fam fly and even Blacky the Crow when he has nothing better to do; in the night HOoty the Owl and Reddy and Granny Fox, and day or night, as the fancy takes them. Shadow the Weasel and Billy Mink. Even Buster Bear hunts Whitefoot when he has nothing else on his mind. Do you wonder that White foot is very shy, very timid. and always ready to run and hide at the least sound?
 On the day when Buster Bear had twice been frightened by Farmer Browns boy, and really had no cause for being frightened, Whitefoot had himself twice been badly frightened, but, unlike Buster, he had had real cause for fright. Once Hawk watching from the top of tree and had ventured out for a bite to eat. Redtail's great claws had missed him by so little that it was five minutes before Whitefoot could make himself believe that he really was safe. Once Billy Mink had chased him into a hole just a wee bit too small for Billy to follow. Both times WhitefoOt had been. terribly frightened, but in little while he had forgotten his fright He was used to such frights. They happened every day of his life. Once they were over there was no use in thinking about them. He had escaped, for which he was duly thankful, so why think about them?

The Combination Sport Shirt

The COmDlnatlOn sport Shirt
 \ IKE that message to Mars, the ideal sport shirt is always on the
 way, but never arrives. Designers have worked wonders with the present. day shirt, giving comfort and smart ness undreamed of ten years ago. Nevertheless, ones shirt persists in rid ing up at the waist, unless, indeed, you go back to first principles and pin 1t to the top of the drawers, as any forth right and practical grandmother would instantly suggest.
 The type of golf or tennis shirt. pie tured in the accompanying sketch, is one that has made its way very slowly. Worn for 25 years by ''crack' players in England and upon the continent, it has, for some reason or other, not com mended itself to Americans until with in the last few seasons. Yet, a casual glance will show how simple and enfec- tive this garment is in surmounting the objection to the mounting shirt, which, ever and anon, makes a man pause, sheepishly, in his game to stuff it back where it belongs.
 Shirt and drawers are cut in one con tinuous garment and, of course, it is im- possible for the shirt to creep up at the waist, because 1t is firmly held down. The shirt has self collar, wide elbow length sleeves and patch breast pock- ct. though these details are frequently varied. The drawers ars short loose fitting and have full bottoms. The ma terials of which this shirt is made are cheviots, Oxfords, flannels, silk inter- mixtures and the like in plain white. plain colors or neat patterns in which white predOminates. Above all, such q garment should look cGol and, there fore. the white shirt is customarily preferred. You may, however, procure such style with white shirt and fancy" or patterned drawers showing
