 Buster shutfled along through the Green Forest toward that tree. When he came 10 it he sat up and looked up into it, al lthe time lick ing his lips. Then he stopped lick ing his lips. Then he blinked his little eyes. You know, Buster has little eyes for such a big fellow. Then he rubbed his little eyes. He rubbed them two or three times. Something was wrong. Either some thing was wrong with his eyes or he was looking up in the wrong tree. Not a mushroom was to be seen. No. sir, not a mushroom was to be seen. He walked all around the tree.

 He made a queer, gruff sound In his throat, and May went on: Through all these last terrible months .. ,"snd l give you my word they've been terrible for me .. you've been."a wonderful friend to me, even though we bare ly knew each other And oh. I've been so unhappyl' She shook her head tragically. and slowly told him the whole story Of her life since Dr. Johns death. ..,

 Why, what do you .mean?" she asked at last.
 Just what l say" Ulysses an swered, calmly, Not only for the last two years, but always"
 He cleared his throat again and went on with the air Of a man who has something "on his chest" and intends to get 1t off!
 '"I wouldn't talk like this to you May, if you hadn't said you were unhappy. I say you're unhappy be cause you're selfish. You live for nc one but yourself. :. You tak' yourself too seriously"
 He broke off for a second startled at the blaze of anger tha famed into Mays eyes. A fiusl mantled her cheeks like scarle danger signal. .....,
 But Ulysses went on with wha he had long wanted to say to Ma, Seymour:

 It was two or three days after Buster Bears discovery of the mushroom tree of Chatterer the Red Squirrel before. he thought of 1t again. The mushroom tree was, you know, tree in which Chatterer the Red Squirrel was storing up mushrooms to. dry that he might have them in the winter. Buster had discovered that tree quite, by accident, and he had made up his mind that he would have one grand feast of mushrooms the last thing before he went to sleep for the winter. He felt quite sure that he would find, those mushrooms right there when he went back to get them. He knew that Chatterer would not eat them until winter They were to be part of Chatter CTS winter food supply.
 The first time that Buster hap pened to be. over, near where that tree was growing, he of course thought of it. Il may as well have

In the babys room across the hall, Dicky Junior was making wild, gurgling noises over his first tiny Christmas tree. Every now and then May could hear Dicky's deep voice telling him that this is a rattle. And see the horsey!"

 "I suppose" she thought yawn- ing, T ought to go down and help her. . ."
 But it was an hour later before she made her appearance in Glo- ria's kitchen. Ky that time there were four layer cakes cooling on the table, and Gloria had begun to make thin sandwiches.
 She stopped her work to get Mays breakfast, and had cup of coffee with her, standing at the hltCntn Slnh.

 May shook her head. "I don't sec how you manage it all the housework, and the cooking, and the baby, with no one to help you but that little nurse-maid," she de- clared. And you used to be so lazA that you wouldn't hang up youl own clothes! I never knew anyone to change the way you have Glory"

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES corr TO THE LITTLE MAR QUISE. care THE SECRET
 DRAWER

It's long time since have writ ten to you, dear confidante of mine, and so many things have happened that I do not know where to begin first.
 My beautiful old English chest has come from New York, and I am pro- ceeding to take all the letters l have written you from the safety deposit box and put them in the chest. The ancient lock is the most intricate thing, with bolts and bars and other devices for keeping its contents in- violate, and I am perfectly mad about 1t. Last night when I had 1t installed in my bedroom, Jack asked me what l intended to put in the chest, and when told him, he just looked at me and laughed.
 By the way, Little Marquise, 1t was the first time I had seen Jack smile since we both were rescued from drowning. I was glad to see it, although I got a little cold when he said:
 T am going to read all those lan- eiful rawlings of yours some day, Les lie dear"
 You see thought of all the things I had said about him to you. Unless he could understand me just as you have, 1t might make a great deal of trouble. Then thought of the dear little secret drawer, where all these letters always repose until l can put them in the safety deposit box, and how they would now rest in that old oaken chest with it's copper lining so heavy that it takes two men to move it-behind the intricate lock and did not worry any more.
 Today, Little Marquise, l think am going to surprise you. All my
