The instant Timmy reached his
doorway he looked down. Then he
caught his breath. For just second
he couldn't move. He was too fright
ened to move. There, more than half
way UP, was a slender, trim, little
fellow all in white, with a. black tip
TO his tail. 1t was Shadow, the
Weasel! With a squeak of dreadful
fright Timmy jumped with all his
might He was none too soon. AS it
was, Shadows teeth all but closed on
the tip of Timmy's tail Down sailed
Timmy, with his legs spread out fat,
and landed on the foot of a tree. Up
ne raced to tho top and jumped again.
This time, because he jumped from
high up, he sailed long distance.
But even then fear held him. Up an
nther tree he ran and jumped. Twice
more he did 1t before he stopped. He
was still shaking with fright.
OH he cried, softly. .'Oh, but
that was a. narrow escape! It makes
fne Shiver just to think of it. If
hadn't walked up when 1 did, Shadow
would have got me. If 1 hadn't
climbed up to see who was coming he
would have got me. 1t was a lucky
thing for me that he didn't happen
along when I was sound asleep"
And then a new thought came to
Jimmy. He was homeless! He had
been so thankful for his escape that
nothing else had entered his head.
But now he realized that never again
would he dare sleep in that snug,
warm home.
'I can't go back there" sobbed
Timmy. mo, sir, I can't go back
there. Now that Shadow, the Weasel,
knows where I have been living it
wouldn't be safe for me to go back
there. He would be sure to catch me.
I've got to find a new home. Yes, sir,
that's what I've got to do. And it

POLISH THE GOLDEN
rule With GASOLINE

The accident problem would be
helped a great deal if both motorists
and pedestrians would think less
about their rights and more about the
welfare Of the other fellow. There
is too much Of the feeling that it is
altogether the business Of the other
fellow to exercise the caution.
THE MOTOR CAR DRIVER
THINKS 1T IS UP TO THE Pc
DESTRIAN TO WATCH OUT"
The pedestrian leaves the Cooking
out" entirely to the motorists, hence
the reason for the emergency hospi-
tai being kept SO busy.
Technically, both the driver and
pedestrian are right in taking these
extreme attitudes; but actually both
are wrong. Traffic regulations or
no traffic regulations, whether sig
mails r clear OF not, it remains the
duty Of every car driver to handle
his machine intelligently and protect
the fOrgetful pedestrian against him
self. And it is the duty of the pc
destrian to always remember that
motorists are human and-also for
getfuI.
You must not only be careful but
consciously careful. Intelligence Is
to be preferred to instinct, for in
stinct may get you into trouble. And
remember that when you try and
bluff the other fellow, that he. too,
may be a buffer, in which case
CRASH Give the other fellow cred
it but don't try and Outguess him.
It can't be done.
Witness the traffic jams at corners
where there are no policemen. Then
take a look at the revolving doors Of
some office building or department
store. There is no jam at the re-
volving door because the persons at
tempting to go through know that the
door will move just so fast and thaC
it can go only one way. Were the
motorists who cause the traffic block
in ~cOngested districts to look upon
such a corner as they do a revolving
door there wouldn't be any traffic
jam. And the old Golden Rule is the
only thing which win prevent traffic
jams.
Recently a student Of mine tried
out the stunt of "after you," and the
next morning at the school he spoke
thusly:
eyes, Mr.. Greer, l waited at the
corner and gave the drivers crossing
my radiator the right of way, instead
Of trying to crowd through. But the
darn fools just kept on coming, and
I was 20 minutes late for my class.
This Golden Rule stuff is all right
to preach about but it don't work in a
traffic jam. What am I to do?"
Do? Why, continue giving the
other fellow the benefit Of the doubt.
All drivers aren't dumb, and the chap
who does stop to let you by will dis
cover that, and pass the good thing
along. Ten to one you'll find the
other fellow has been pushing through
because you took advantage Of him

death OF the husband, m~testate, while
