BEGIN HERE TODAY

| John w. Brooke. widowed hard =
/ ware magnate, arranged with a firm
OF efficiency engineers, to manage
his home while he is away for about
two months. He leaves town with
out Informing his grown children,
Constance, Billy and Alice as TO his
plans.
II. Hedge has taken control OF the
Brooke mansion as per contract. lie
has occupied the private quarters of
the owner and established an office
In the library. Hedge today has
encountered Constance's dog, Demos
themes. He tells the young woman
that the pup is useless source OF
expense and when she refuses to
listen TO his suggestion that the pet
be sold he informs her that she
must herself provide the funds 10
pay for the dogs maintenance.
Hedge still holds the floor.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
"And by the way, Miss Brooke,
have observed large aquarium in
the conservatory, in which are a
number Of goldfish. While these
fish are also non-producers and are
OF a q lite useless type. not beign
edible, what I chiefly criticize is the
fact that there Is a steady flow Of
water through this tank night and
day.
AT an estimate OF half a gallon
per minute, this tank Is consuming
seven hundred and twenty gallons of
water per day. DO you know that
this house pays for water according
TO the measurement OF a meter?
That tank alone is consuming over
two hundred and sixty thousand gal
Ions Of water per year! 1t cannot be
permitted"
Indeed? And do you know what
my father will do II you attempt to
get rid of IT,"
Hedge shook his head Indifferent
ly.
HE will probably kill you" said
Constance calmly. Those are his
goldfish. They are his hobby. He
breeds them; he has developed sew
eral new types. Why, he has been
offered as high as a hundred dollars
for a single specimen!"
"IIe took It, of course"
Most certainly not. But he has
presented several specimens to the
public aquarium and to scientific So
cieties."
II am glad you mentioned the
matter" said Hedge, making
memorandum. 81 shall at least feel
justified in disposlng of sufficient
quantity TO defray the cost of water
and food"
You try it," said Constance sig
nif1cantly as she turned her back
upon him and walked away with
Demoshenes.
Fifteen minutes later, behind the
locked door of her den, Constance
and Dcmosthenes were engaged in q
most curious rehearsal. At given
signal Demosthenes, with ever in
creasing readiness would howl plalU-
lively, lie on his side, roll over on
his back, indulge in brief simula-
ton of agony, and then become per-
fectly STILL counterfeiting eXcellently
a dead dog. The signal was the
word Hedge" Kissed sibiantly.
Yet Constance realized that the

1t seemed to Peter Rabbit that
almost every one he met these days
was thinking of winter. Peter him
self didn't like to think of winter.
Peter believes that 1t Is time
enough TO think Of unpleasant and
uncomfortable things when they
arrive. why" said Peter, should
folks be thinking of cold and snow
and storm and unpleasant things
on such beautiful days as these
days of late fall?" But nobody an
swered the question. Most folks
were too busy. In fact, as he
thought it all over it seemed to him
as II almost everybody with the
exception OF his cousin. Jumper the
Hare, and himself was too busy to
really enjoy this lovely weather.
So 1t was with considerable
pleasure that Peter discovered
small friend Of his taking a sun
bath. 1t was little Mr.. Garter
Snake. As Peter came hopping
along little Mr.. Garter Snake raised
his head and darted out his tongue
In the sauciest way. At least It
looked saucy. Really it wasn't
sauCy at all. don't know what
little Mr.. Garter Snake would do
II he couldn't run that little tongue
OF his out. You see, 1t is by means
of 1t that he learns much of what
Is going on. You know he has no
cars. He learns much. through that
slender little tongue, that you or
would learn through our ears. He
can feel sounds with il, so TO speak.
Anyway that is as near as can
explain II TO you how he uses that
little tongue.
Hello, Mr.. Garter Snake" ex-
claimed Peter. at certainly does
my heart good to find somebody
not TOO busy to have a good time"
Mr.. Garter Snakes bright little
eyes almost twinkled. suspect he

he inquired.

you are must be having a good |

bath every day. but you are the |
first one OF my friends whom I have
found With time enough 10 take

he looked at Lillian. some good

measured significance, but It's quite

simple message. She sprang 10 her
feet, with flushed cheeks and eyes
suddenly cleaning with light
which for weeks | had not seen In
