afraid to try to crowd him out of the
road. Jimmy knew 1t.
So he ambled along in the rut, and
now and then turned to look back.
Finally as he did this he was just in
time to see the man throw something
off to one side of the road, where II
fell in the dry leaves. Now there are
times when Jimmy has quite as much
curiosity as Peter Rabbit. This was
one Of those times. Could it be that
that man had thrown away some
thing good to eat? Jimmy had known
these two-legged creatures to do that
very thing more than once. So now
he stepped aside and allowed the
automobile to go past. 1t went past
in hurry. / should say SO! 1t was
quite clear that that man was in a
hurry to put a safe distance between
himself and Jimmy. Jimmy grinned
and turned back to look for that
which the man had tossed to the
leaves by the roadside.
AS he drew near the place he kept
smiling. He smelled something that
he didn't like at all, something that
gave him a feeling of uneasiness.
The nearer he got to the place where
that thing had fallen the greater
became his uneasiness. He didn't
know just what to make of it. That
uIledSlIloSS DeCdIIlS vague SOTl Oh
fear, yet what there was to be afraid
of Jimmy didn't know. It was a
new and strange feeling, for you
know that, as a rule, Jimmy is afraid
of no one and nothing. That un-
pleasant odor grew stronger, ana then
Jimmy saw something that made him
pause and stare with something like
real fright in his eyes. 1t was
| little thread of smoke rising above
| the dead leaves. Yes, sir; that is
what it WAS. a. Little thread of smoked

DELI lNlL - lOlNlLO ". BURGESS

Jimmy knew now why he had felt
so queer. He knew what smoke was
and what it meant. 1t meant that the
Red Terror, which men call fire, and
which all the little people of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows
fear more than anything else in all
the Great World, was abroad.
Jimmy stared hard at the place
from which that little thread of
fame suddenly reached up and
touched a brown. dead, dry leaf. All
in a second that brown, dead, dry leaf
turned black, then a glowing red and
disappeared, and the dancing little
yellow flame danced to another
brown, dead, dry leaf, and 1t, too.
disappeared. Jimmy Skunk didn't
have to be told what was happening.
The Red Terror was loose, and was
beginning to eat up the Green Forest!
There wasn't a thing that Jimmy
could do about it. not a thing. So he
turned and hurried back across the
road and into the Green Forest, head
ing straight for home under the hen
house in Farmer Browns farmyard,
and for once Jimmy Skunk hurried.
Yes, sir, he did just that. He couldn't
get there fast enough. You see, he
had feeling that there, If anywhere,
he would be safe. At last Jimmy
Skunk knew fear.
And as he hurried on he kept puz-
zling over the sudden appearance of
the Red Terror. That two-legged
creature did 1t. Yes, sir, he did it.
I don't know how he did it, but he
did it. When he tossed that thing
in the leaves he somehow set the Red
Terror free" muttered Jimmy.
Jimmy was right. The driver of
that automobile had tossed away q
lighted cigarette. and 1t had fallen
in those dry leaves. He hadn't in
tended to start a fire. OF course, not.
But he had been careless. He hadn't
looked to see where that burning
cigarette had fallen, and now the Red
Terror was free.

Some trade-marked brands of panels
are stamped with the manufacturer S
name and trade mark. This is very
good point in safeguarding the un-

Before you. lay out your panel,

One mother says:
Our chiffonier is so tall that the
mirror on top is useless for the chill
dren, and the bedroom is too small
for a wall mirror. Dad solved the
difficulty by hanging a mirror to the
back of the chiffonier on two large,
heavy hinges so it swings like a gate.
When not in use, it folds closely
against the side of the chiffonier. This
is the best arrangement / ever had
for skirts and shoes, and the children

and putting screws in the back of
the bookcase and cup hooks under
the lower shelf, a pot and kettle por
ton is managed. If this part or the
entire front of the improvised closet
is curtained. the things are neatly
and deCoratively concealed. Some
housewives, however, prefer to have
the shelves uncurtained, and the
articles in plain sight. Cook books
or some ornamental containers may
be placed on the top shelf, dressing
it up a trifie.
Wardrobe With Shelves.
In the auction rooms or second ha nd
shops there are frequently TO be
found quaint old wardrobes with tiers
of shelves in them and one or two
doors in front. These are as adequate
as any kitchen closets. This style
of wardrobe is apt TO come in cheap
wood and, therefore, the price is
low. Such wardrobe. painted to
match the woodwork of the kitchen
or done over in white enamel. will

Space Below Sink.
1t there is an open sink. the space
below may be curtained off and hooks
put in the wall at the back and in
any woodwork at the sides. and an
other closet space be made. 1t is
especially well adapted to storing
cooking utensils. If the waste basket
and the garbage pail are kept behind
the curtains, the kitchen has a
neater appearance.
An Improvised Cabinet.
a strong wooden box with shelves
on cleats, or a low, crude bookcase
OF plain shelves can be fastened on
brackets, and with screws, to the
wall above a table. making an i'm
proVlsed cabinet. From under theh
lowest shelf of the lower end of the
box light implements, such as spoons.

openers, vegetable cutters. etc, can
be hung on cup hooks. Ingredients
required in cooking may be on the
shelves and the table below form the
mixing place. Such continuance
will be found most handy.
Medicine Closets.
In reference to the medicine closet
| would say that there are many
kinds to be found in the house fur
nishing departments of stores. These
closets range from wooden affairs
that cost but small sums to finely
enameled metal ones with several
shelves and good mirrored doors.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance
Often Rejected

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention this paper.

laps Learn English
as Matter of Course

English is taught in the public
schools all over Japan. Later, when
came to travel widely in the interior,
often found bright schoolboys four
teen or fifteen years old who would
volunteer as interpreters, Theodore
Godfrey writes In the Saturday Eve
ming Post
In another generation English may
be second language for the Japanese,
even as the Dutch today are competent
linguists, because the world cannot be
bothered to learn Dutch.
English, unless a Japanese has been
educated abroad. becomes rather pc
culiar in japanese mouths. for ac-
cording to Japanese custom, every con-
sonant must be followed by a vowel,
and there is no 81" or ''v" or 9TH"
Thus 'beer" becomes "bieru"; glass, :"
"gurssu," and "hotel," "hoteru."
