LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRES.
COTT CONTINUED

Leslie, | am sure you must under
stand that all decent men put their
wives above themselves on the pedes-
tai and worship before them, which
is perhaps foolish.
Leslie, mother Of my boy, surely
we can come to some sort of Il
working combination. Surely you
can see from those two letters that
l did not love that woman. Poor
little bedraggled creature! She was
like tiny kitten only wanting food
and warmth and a little petting to
stretch herself and purr with con-
tentment. l didn't expect anything
of her. ! was surprised at her let
ter. did not know that she had
either the brains or the heart that
the contents denoted. She was
amused and amusing for the moment.
Don't you see, dear, that that girl
may still further be likened to a
kitten.
She said in her letter that she
cared for me, which, of course, was
natural. had pulled her out Of n
very tight place and her letter shows
that she cared still more for the
comfort that my check would insure
her than she could possibly care for
me.
This is a strange kind of letter,
dear. for a man to be writing to his
wife. My mother and think even
your mother would possibly be sur
priscd and shocked bit. 1t has
only one merit. 1t is sincerely hon
est, and l hope, dear, that as nearly
as you can, with S)ur beautifully
idealic temperament. you will try
to understand my more material ma
ture.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
THE RAG MAN

The next place that the March
Hare and the Twins went to was the
Rag Mans house.
'It's high time the Rag Man was
getting out and gathering up the
rags in the rag bags" said the
March Hare in business-likc voice.
"People cant get their garrets
cleaned out with so many old rags
sticking around~ Hop on, children"
So, as l said before, they hoped
on the hare's back and soon they
came to the Rag Mans house and
knocked on the front door.
Come in" said a hearty voice.
SO they pushed open the door and
walked right in like soldiers-single
file.
There sat fat jolly gentleman in
velvet coat, smoking a long pipe,

A vase of roses stood on table

There were pictures and books and

"Oh!" said Nancy-her eyes round
with wonder.
"Jiminy!" said Nick-his eyes
round, too.
They thought they must have
made a mistake about this being the

"We're looking for the Rag Man."
said Nancy.
''Then you need to look no fur

UP and shaking hands all round.

"Why, | always thought that the
Nancy.
"Oh. no, no! You did. did you'll"
laughed their host. "Just because l
like to dress that way for fun when
I'm out rag hunting you think do
it all the time. No, sir! l don't like
to wear those old buds of mine any
more than you like to wear your
school clothes all the time. Would
you like to know some Of my Sc
crets?"
"Oh, yes, please!' cried the Twins
eagerly.
"Then just sit down. invited the
Rag Man kindly.

March Hare. I'VE just came to re-

The Rag Man laughed. 81 know"
said he. But don't worry. I'm
starting out with my horse and
wagon tomorrow morning"
So they all sat down and the Rag
Man told them his two secrets. The
first one was that he liked children
better than anything else in the
world. The second one was that he
liked music next. But he couldn't
learn to sing sweetly-only loudly.
And that's why he chose to be rag
man. And to sing "Rags--old iron!"
at the top Of his lungs.
You can hear him any day almost
now. if you listen.
