There was a long article on successful roundup of rum-runners the night before, of which Mort was said to be the brains. It went on to state that he had been under suspicion for some time, but had been too clever in his operations to get caught. He had been arrested. with a

 However, even at that early stage of wifehoOd, had learned to say yes, dear,' very discreetly on all dubious Oc- casions,
 A while later John had sauntered in saying gosh, but he was hungry anything in the house for lunch? Fun ny how hungry n man got doing brain ] workl How about a mushroom ome- let? No mushrooms in the larder !? We'll, he'd run out and see what he could find down street! Don't bother about a lot of wOrk-just throw most anything ogether-wouldn't an apple tart be nice after the Omelet?~ Of course, as every woman knows, my own lunch usually consisted of a glass of milk out of the ice box, a couple of cookies and an apple, taken standing up, reading the paper held in the other hand.
 Well, I spent an hour and a half tossing together Johns little idea of a simple lunch and an hour clearing it up. Don't think I worked uninterrupt- edly at it-John was sauntering around whistling, wanting to know, say where'd we get this thingamajig or didn't the Aloes send us this lamp, or was it the dozen plates? Didn't I think these books would look better piled this way? Oh, had I remembered to press out that blue necktie, and he guessed he'd better try on those new shirts now that he had a chance to be sure they were right.
 And he might as well fix the bath room water faucets. Where was the screw driver and where was the wrench and did know where the fuller balls were? And, say, let's hang those two pictures! Look here-did think his hair was getting a little thin right on the very top? What time was dinner gee, after working this way all day at home, where he had thought it would be quiet, look at all he had to do still ! It did beat all that there was no place man could work undisturbed
 Consequently understand perfectly why you didn't get the lists made out, my child! I'll bet Tom thought he spent the day in complete quiet and in- tense labor"

Little Stories For Bedtime
A Hot Place In A Cool Place
sy IHoRNToN W. sURaEss

"OW can it. be so hot in cool place? Just ask Farmer Browns
 boy. He knows. He had gone to the Green Forest because he had thought it would be cooler there than anywhere else on that dreadfully hot day. And he was right. In the depths of the Green Forest it was fairly cool. You see the trees made shade, and 1t was only here and there that the Jolly Little Sunbeams could find a way through the millions of little leaves of the trees. So Farmer Browns boy was quite comfortable as he walked silently through the Green Forest looking for the cause of Sammy Jays excitement.
 When at last he reached the big bemlock tree which was Busy Bees Storehouse, and which at that very mo- ment Buster Bear was robbing of it's honey, Farmer Browns boy was still quite cool and comfortable. But no sooner did he discover what was going on than he broke out into precipitation just as if he had suddenly stepped into very warm place. Of course the air wasn't any warmer there than elsewhere in the Green Forest. It was excite ment and perhaps a little uncertainty aa to what might happen if Buster Bear should discover him that made Farmer Browns boy perspire and feel suddenly hot all over.
 For a few minutes he just stood right where he was and stared. He knew that Buster Bear was very fond of honey. You remember that once Bus ter had stolen some honey from the bee hives in Farmer Browns barnyard, and that time Farmer Browns boy had frightened him away. But he never had realized how very, very fond Bus ter is of honey as he did now. Like Sammy Jay he wondered what Buster could be made of to stand the stings of all those bees just for the sake of some thing to put in his stomach. Buster was making the funniest noises you can imagine. There would be a growl and whine of pain as bee found a particu- larly tender spot and thrust her sharp little lance into it, and right on top of that would be a grunt of pure en- joyment as he scooped a lot of honey into his mouth.
 It was funny. Yes, sir, 1t was 6 funny sight to see. Buster squirmed and twisted as the bees stung him, but he didn't once stop his greedy scooping out of that honey. It was smeared all over his greedy face. It had dripped down on his black coat. He was getting himself into a dreadful mess. But it was plain to see that he didn't mind this in the least. In fact, he didn't mind anything, net even the stings of the bees. He had forgotten everything but his stomach.
 Farmer Browns boy wanted to stay and he wanted to go, He wanted to stay to see what Buster would do when he finished all the honey. He wanted to go because in spite of the fact that

 every time they had chanced to meet Buster Bear had run away as fast as ever he could. Farmer Browns boy couldn't get over the idea that Buster might not always run. You see Bus ter is such big fellow with such great claws and teeth that Farmer Browns boy just couldn't help feeling wee bit afraid of him.
 Now about this time Busy Bee and her fellow workers made up their minds that do what they might they couldn't drive Buster Bear away, and the least excited of them began to load them selves with sweets from their storehouse to carry to a new storehouse. They knew that they had to begin their sum- Iner's work all over again, and they didn't propose to waste any time in cry ing over what had happened. They would save something from the wreck with which to make a new beginning. So most of them hurried to load them selves with honey before greedy Buster Bear should get all of it. But a few, still mad clear through, were flying about looking for new enemies, and some of these discovered Farmer Browns boy.
 In an instant they had darted at him. Before he knew that he was discovered what felt like half a dozen red hot needles were thrust into him and the angry hum was all about him. That part of the Green Forest to which he had gone because of its cOoliness had suddenly become a hot place, and with every thrust of those little lances it became hotter. Farmer Browns boy was no longer in doubt. His mind was made up. He wanted to go, and to go as quickly as he knew how.

BALL QUINT WINS
Fast Game, With Askov
Getting Short End
of 1919 Score.

A basket ball game that was
full of action from beginning to
end was the one played between
Kerrick and Askov on the Askov
floor last Friday evening. II
was a good clean game through
out and the ball was constantly
in motion with both teams work
ing strenuously TO gain advan-
tage. II was a closer game than
the score would indicate, and it
was witnessed by a good sized
crowd that cheered in a sports
manlike fashion for clever plays
on either side.
Kerrick got off to a good start
securing 4 field baskets and one
free throw in the first quarter
while Askov only put over 2
field baskets IN that stanza. The
second quarter was the only one
going in favor Of Askov. they get
ting 8 points to Kerrick's 1. The
score by quarters was as follows,
the winning team being given
first: "a. 10-7, 1919. 1919.
Askov failed to score at all in
the last quarter while Kerrick
connected for 2 field baskets and
1 free throw.
