Foxy Grandpa, have you

news" j:
II have noticed it, Bobby" I
replied. HE seems very much de-
pressed. / believe I'll speak TO
him and ask him if there is any
thing we can do to help him.
That afternoon as we were
having tea with delicious bread
and butter sandwiches with
strawberry jam oozing out, I
said:
"Mr. Merriweather, / feel as
if you were worried about SOME
thing. Pardon me for speaking
of it, but thought possibly
there might be something we
could do to help you"
That's very kind of you, Foxy
Grandpa. There is something
worrying me--worrying me to
death. My corn crop is being
ruined And l had planned on
sending off my oldest boy to
school this next term with the
profits from it. But there won't
be any crop at ALL"
Whats killing it?' l asked.
Mice" declared the good man.
"And can't get rid of them.
They just eat up everything in
sight in that cornfield and all
the corn is dying"

Several weeks passed, during
which Bunny, Bobby and / went
on a bicycle trip through the
country and on the evening Of
our return to the farm, as Bobby
was coasting down hill, he looked
up in the sky and said:
Look at that airplane, Foxy
Grandpa. It's flying right over
Mr.. Merriweather's cornfield.
/ looked up just as Bunny said:
That's not an airplane. That's
an exterminator!"
"It was a bird" shouted Bobby.

Mr.. Merriweather came out to
greet US. His face wore a con-
slant smile. His whole express
sion was different. Not a sign OF
worry showed in his honest face.
"How are your crops?" | asked.
Fine" responded the Trainer.

It was welcome news to her
when at last, after many weary,
weeks of travel, she read on
flamboyant sign-post the follow
ing legend:
You are travelling. through
Arizona. We hope you are en-
joyihg the good roads. !"
Singletree.
Mamie felt that like pilgrim
who comes in sight of Mecca.
She was now In the very State
where Zander's father. the van
ishing husband Of Zander's sweet
little mother. was living. Mamie
didn't, know just what the sign
board meant by its reference to
good roads; the sflivVer seemed
to bounce and jump more than
ever, and lander had all he could
do to hang on.
There was nothing enlivening
about the desert through which
they were bowling. 1t was a
dreary waste with little vegeta-
ton and no sign Of the life that
had made most Of the trip so In
teresting. BY asking numerous
questions Of infrequent travellers.
Mamie made sure she was headed
In the right direction. She was
approaching the Mexican border
now, and singletree. the abode
OF the senior Caldwell, ought not

Ranch House.
Mamie knew the relief that
comes with the knowledge OF a
job well done; she felt that she
owed to lander all the love and
care that his mother would have
given him. Indeed. size would
have liked to keep him as her
very own, but first she wanted TO
make sure she was not robhang
Caldwell, senior. Even though
he had written s1ch a heartless
letter. still Mamie hoped when he
set eyes on his son he would re-
lent and take him to his heart.
Mamie didn't see how anyone
could help loving lander.
1t was getting late IN the after
noon and the sun was casting
strange shadows over the desert
when Mamie came in sight of
what had once been a. pretentious
ranch house.
1t bore plenty of evidence of
former prosperity and though
Mamie didn't know it, it had been
one of the richest in Arizona.
That was before the wandering
Mexican bandits had begun to
prey on American cattle. The
man who owned the house and
ranch was named Mirchison, and
for a long time he had done his
best to fight the marauders, but
in the end ne had to give up;
they came stealthily at night and
vanished leaving no trace.
A herd would be missing and
no one could be found who had
seen the marked steers being
driven off in the darkness.
Murchison couldn't stand the
game and at last, like many an
other, he gave it UP. So now
the ranch house had begun to
crumble and to show signs of
age. as uncared for houses al
