 hollow" thought he shrewdly. Now I wonder why. It must be that Bus ter knows of something hidden in some hollow and wants it, but he doesn't know where that hollow is, and so has got Drummer to find it fo- him. What can it be?'
 Sammy scratched his head and thought and thought, but for the life of him he couldn't think of anything which he had ever found hidden in a hollow tree which would be likely to interest Buster Bear. It made Sammy so curious that it was on the tip of his tongue to ask Buster Bear what he was so anxious to find, but he wisely kept his tongue still and silently fol lowed Buster and Drummer.
 By and by they came to a great big hemlock tree. Half way between the bottom and the top on one side waa q long gray streak on the trunk where there was no bark. Some time or other lightning had struck that big hemlock tree. and that long gray streak was dead wood where the lightning had struck. Drummer saw it at once and flew straight to it, for he knew that such places are quite likely to be hol- low. Rat-a-tat-tat! Rata. The drumming stopped right in the middle, and in it's place there was a faint hum- ming sound that grew and grew, and it was a note of anger.
 Bees !" cried Drummer, and without waiting second flew as hard as ever he could to a safe distance.

BIG PAINTINGS TABOOED
Even Works Of Rubens When Large
 Find No Buyers

Even WOrkS Ut huDenS WHoH Aai SO
 Find No Buyers
 Those who have followed the trend of events in the art market were not in the least surprised at the fate at public auction of the enormous paintings by Rubens which were offered at Christie 8 London, on behalf of the duke of Vest minister.
 Rubens is a name to cOnjure with. He ranks with the greatest masters Of all time, and pictures of moderate di- mensiOns from his brush have been known to change hands at anything from $10,00O to $30,000. And here was offered the fine composition of Abra- ham receiving bread and wine from Melchizedek," measuring 180x222 inches, in it's magnificent carved frame and with its imposing pedigree right back of Philip ". of Spain.
 But all the auctiOneers CoaXing could not elicit a single bid from the experts and dealers in the room. The "Abra- ham," together with it's companion giants, ''The Four Evangelists' and ''The Israelites Gathering Mama, went back to- it's ducal home.
 The fact is that the mammoth can vas, be it's quality never so fine, has had it's day and has gone hopelessly out of fashion Nor is it likely that it will ever regain public favor. There was time when large and important were synonymous terms when applied to pictorial masterpieces. That was ir the days when stately mansions waited to be filled with pictures and when pub lie galleries were ready to absorb these unwiaIdlv "muaeum nieces" "
 Today most of us prefer to live ir more intimate surroundings the flat is more in favor than the town mansion the cottage or bungalow than the manor house.
 The case of the duke of Westmin ster's white elephants is by no means isolated. It is not of rare occurrence that pictures, which have against them only their inordinate size, sell at auc tion for considerably less than the cost of their frames. This applies to the mod erns as well as to the old masters.
 Edwin Long is, perhaps, the most no torious instance of the decline of the mammoth canvas. When his giant can vases were sold at Christies they were knocked down at prices ranging. I be lieve, from seven guineas to 40 guineas | or thereabouts. None of the frames could have been procured for anything like those prices.

I shuddered as I read of the hi-jackers, how they shot the bootleggers without warning and then carried away the stuff the bootleggers had succeeded | in landing or bringing from Canada. When spoke of the revolver to Mort he said
 "Tve permission to carry it. There are so many hold-ups now man isn't safe going about unarmed."
 You mean you are afraid of the men who know what you are doing, that know you carry large sums of moneyT
 "Perhaps-but every citizen should be able to protect himself.'s
 You call yourself a citizen, Mort, but I can only think of you as traitor to his country, breaker of it's laws" seldom allowed myself to speak in this manner, but sometimes I couldn't hold back the words.
 Mort made no reply, unless the red flush that spread over his face an- swered me.
 "Be very careful where you leave that revolver when you aren't carrying it." l cautioned. Donald might get hold of it." "Pll take care of that" l Knowing that he carried a gun only added to my worries. He might be in jured, then again he might use it, kill i someone.
 | Perhaps had I been a more worldly woman, been brought up differently, I might have looked upon what Mort was doing with more leniency. I now know that many. women not only knew their husbands were bootleggers, but helped them by attending to telephone orders, etc. Not all common or ignorant wo- men, either, but women in good stand | ing in the community. Yet never will ! be able to understand how they could help debase their husbands, help them to break their country's laws. l Men came to the house occasionally, common Joking men with whom Mort looked sadly out of place. At times 1 would overhear some remark, something about ships or running across the bor- der. Only a word or two, but with my sure knowledge and what I read I could put these scraps together and get some idea of what Mort was doing. He was the brains of fhe combination evi- dently. Occasionally they quarrelled, or at least it sounded as if they were quarrelling I could hear high-pitched voices, approximations. But this never lasted long. A few words in Mort's voice would bring quiet.
 Mort, who do you sell the stuff to?' | I once asked.
 Clubs, rich men,"
 ''Men you knew before"
 'Some of them, yes"
 How can you do it? They must look down on you, despise you"
 That's all you know about it A mans bootlegger is his best friend as long as he gets him good booze"
 But would they help you if you got into trouble! Would theyy"
 Do stop asking useless questions, Stella. I'm getting so l hate to come home. You go about like :. death's-head at a feast, when you aren't asking me silly questions or conjuring up calam- ity."
 II don't want to do it, Mort! God knows l want our home to be happy. But I haven't had moments's peace, a moments happiness, since 1 knew"
 That's because you're always cross | ing bridges. Wait until you come to them. That's time enough to worry about getting across"

Have you a good-sized Krau Karl Druschki, High Dickson or J. w. Clark rose in your garden? If you have you can train it so that it will produce hundreds of flowers instead of scores each season. The way to do this is to choose a few of the long outside canes, bend them down and tie them to two foot stakes surrounding the plant. In this way you can obtain a very large bush without having it get out of bounds. If you can carry the canes to the ground and cover them with earth in several places, they will take root and produce new plants.

Drummer Hunts For Hollow Trees

 IF Drummer the Woodpecker won-
 dered why Buster Bear was so anx-
 ious to find hollow trees he didn't say anything about it. Probably he didn't think anything about it. You see he was so flattered by all the nice things Buster had said that he was as eager to hunt for those hollow trees and show Buster what he could do as Buster was to have him.
 How many hollow trees do you want me to find:" he asked. And where shall 1 begin?"
 Begin right here and go in straight line in that direction" said Buster, pointing in the direction in which he had seen Busy Bee disappear. Find as many as you can"
 All right" replied Drummer, nod ding his red head. Here I go." With this he flew to the next tree, and, beginning half way up, went round and round all the time climbing higher and higher, and tapping with his stout bill as only Drummer can. When he reached the top he flew to the next tree and did the same thing. It was surprising how rapidly he could examine each tree. Buster Bear followed along beneath. They had gone some distance before Drummer found a tree that had hollow in it. When he did find one he stopped to drum. Rat-a-tat- tat! Rat-a-tat-tat! Drummer's red head fairly flew as he beat his long roll
 "One," said he, looking down at Bus ter.
 Fine" replied Buster "Now for an other"
 So Drummer went on from tree to tree Every once in a while he found one with a hollow in it, and at the sound of his rata -tat-tat Buster would sit up and stare at where Drummer was drumming, and in his face there would be the most eager look. When Drum mer found a particularly nice sounding hollow he would stop to drum just for his own pleasure, for you know the sound of his drumming is music to Drummer the Woodpecker. Buster Bear would get terribly impatient, but he took care to hide his impatience and pretended to enjoy the drumming.
 So they went on farther and farther into the Green Forest. Most of the hollows which Drummer found were small ones. Each time Buster would sit up with that eager look on his face and then as Drummer drummed that look would change to one of disappoint- ment. and he would sigh as he waited for Drummer to go on to the next. Sammy Jay went along too. Of course, Sammy is smart He knew that Bus ter had some particular reason for want ing to know which trees were hollow, and he meant to find out what that reason was. He saw that eager look in Busters face every time Drummer
