weather had been so hot for so long that the Laughing Brook was growing smaller and smaller, and so the fish had moved down to the Smiling Pool for comfort and safety. If Buster had used his common sense he would have known this and given up all thought of fish.
 At last he sat down in little open place close by the Laughing Brook and not far from where Plunger the Fish Hawk had built his nest. Buster sat down to rest and cool off. He had not been there long when he heard voices, harsh. screaming voices. They came from high up in the air Buster tipped his head back and looked up. There was Plunger the Fish Hawk and King Eagle, and they were quarreling. Plun- ger was lodging this way and that, now up, now down, now to this side and now to that And clutched in Plum gers claws was a great big, fat fish. At sight of that fish it seemed to Bus ter that his stomach just Topped right over. Yes sir, that is the way it seemed. Water began to trickle from the corners of his mouth, water of pure longing. Plunger was high in the air, and if that fish was big enough for him to see it at that distance it must be very, very much bigger than any fish Buster had ever caught in the Laughing Brook. Buster could not keep his

Tn order to get sympathy in the proper prOpOrtiOOn to produce the re- quired results you have to be the one abused, as was the case with. the man carried off by the bandits. Then, too, a Eery high-pOwer anxiety was turned upon the lady in question. She thought that the pUUr fellow Was going to die at the hands of the bandits and about that time she decided that she had loved him, had always loved him, and would miss him terribly when he was gone. '"
 Il don't want to die" said the lonely bachelor.
 Well, of course, it may not be nee essary," said the man with the thread around his finger. It's only necessary that you be threatened with death. Then when the girl sees her devoted lover slipping away she is likely to lead n rescue party right into the cave where the bandits are, rOut them all out and produce the ring, the license and the parsOn herself, having taken the pre- caution to take all these things along with her to cinch you up and get you under her care where you will never have a chance to go adventuring again or to get yourself into trouble

 Speaking of bandits reminds me, said the only married man who had not yet spoken. Go over to China and let the bandits get you. Only the other day I read of a man who chased a girl all over the world with a wedding ring and a marriage license without ever getting anywhere, until the bandits nabbed him as he was chasing her around in China.

Says American Women Best
 Dressed d
By MARGARET WILSON Author Of "The Able McIaughlins, 2 Which Won The Pulitzer Prize.

L HERTAINLY when I got back to N New York last week was thrilled
 by it. saw more smartly dressed women on the streets here in a week than l had seen in Paris and London in months. I'm sure I prefer American clothes to all the clothes of the world. But l think possibly, in some ways, to some degree, prefer English thoughts to American thoughts.
 Where I live now-being legally an entire citizen of two countries-a snnartly dressed woman is always a foreigner-usually an American. The indifference of the women of my town : (Oxfordl to their personal appearance, which at first seems extremely funny, comes to seem sublime as one, appre- ciates it's causes.
 When it gets too warm there for tweeds and disfiguring woody knit things, my neighbors go to a shop and buy q gray and blue gingham wash dress, like bungalow apron, and with out washing it or pressing it, they ap- pear on the streets wearing that and a simple high mind.
 Most of them haven't time with their babies and older children, and their studies and music and their leisurly and thoughtful entertaining of their friends, to polish their nails to the de- gree which signifies gentility in this land. Yet most of them reach out and feel life with delicate and immaculate touch.
 They certainly aren't well-groomed. One doubts if they are susceptible to the appeal of beauty parlors. But they have found time to clothe their spirits in the gay garments of light. They can talk. .s
 They are immoderately fastidious about the appearance of their thoughts. None of them wear glass earrings. But some of them array themselves becomingly with the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit. which is of great price, suffers no limitations, and IS generally underyalued and often de- spised, indeed, by my ambitious coun- trywomen.

greedy little eyes off it. He knew by what he saw that King Eagle was try ing to make Plunger give up that fish!
 "Robber!" grumbled Buster Lear, quite forgetting that were he in King Eagles place he would be doing the same thing. "Robberi I hope Plum ger gets away from him." A sudden thought came to him. What if King Eagle should make Plunger drop that fish Would King Eagle be able to catch that fish before it reached the ground? Decidedly this was a quarrel worth watching. They were almost overhead now and not so very far up in the air. Plunger made a sudden swoop that brought him sill nearer the tree tops, and at the same instant King Eagle swooped with scream so fierce that it gave even Buster Bear a funny feeling. And then, right then. something silvery, something shining il the rays of jolly, bright Mir. Sun, drop ped straight toward Buster Bear.

Little Stories For Bedtime
Buster Bear Has No Luck
Q TH0RRTeN W. BURaEss

Buster Bear Has No Luck
 Three times I've turned upon my tail, And crossed my toes, but still l fail To win from Luck my simple wish
 For just one single little fish.
 c HE said this Buster Bear sat .o and stared into the Laughing
 Brook with wrinkled brows. He had set out that morning to get fish for breakfast, and because he had set his heart on fish nothing else. would do. You know, Buster Bear is some times what is called pig-headed-tha is, he starts to do thing, and no mat ter what happens he persists in trying to do 1t. He had started out for fish that morning. and fish he would have or else go hungry. Now, everybody knows that it is of no use to try to drink from an empty pail, and every fisherman knows that it is of no use to fish when the fish have gone away from their favorite places. Buster Bear knew that for some unknown reason there were no trout in the little shallow pools where he does his fishing. Of course. he didn't know this when he started out that morning, but it didn't take him a great while to find it out Mt so much as a glimpse of a fin or tail had Buster had and he had followed the Laughing Brook almost to the place where it leaves the Green Forest on it's way to the Smiling Pool in the Green Meadows.
 And just because he couldn't have fish Buster wanted fish more than any thing else in the world. People are that way sometimes. So Buster per sisted in wandering alon- the Laugh in Brook, hoping that luck would turn. Fishermen, you know, are great be- hevers in luck, and Buster is like the rest. That is why he said that foolish little verse at the beginning of this story. Of course, he knew it was all fOOlishness to turn around three times and to cross his toes, and when he did these things he looked around first to make sure that no one would see him. And, of course, his luck didn't change. You see, there isn't any such thing as that kind of luck. No matter what happens there Is a cause, a reason, for 1t. The reason Buster Bear saw no fish that fine morning was that there were no fish to see. They had all gone down tO the Smiling Pool because the water there was deeper and cooler than in the Laughing Brook. You see, the

Try knocking fellows off ships and grap- bling with them in the snow and punch ing them on the jaw, and jumping on them from high places, knocking their guns, knives and swords out of their hands and then giving them a darned good licking.
