Farmer Browns Boy and MT Grouse had become the best of friends. Yes, sir. they had so. Mr Grouse is naturally one of the shy est of all birds. He is very shy in decd. is Mir. Grouse. Mrs. Grouse is just as shy. Mrs. Grouse has known Farmer Browns Boy so long that she was not afraid of him. but she could hardly believe her eyes as every morning she watched Mr. Grouse and Farmer Browns Boy.
 Every morning when Farmer Browns Boy went out to feed Mrs. Grouse he took along some extra buckwheat to feed Mr. Grouse. At first he remained quietly behind the bushes which he had set up so as to watch MT. Grouse. But one morning what did Mr. Grouse do but walk right around those bushes, and when Farmer Browns Boy reached out and scattered some buckwheat before him Mr.. Grouse at once began to pick it up. After that Farmer Browns Boy didn't try to hide. It wasr long before Mr. Grouse would ta.c food from the hand of Farmer Browns Boy.
 Now perhaps you think l am tell ing story. l am, but it is a true story. You see, I have known Mr. Grouse 10 do just this thing, and it

had all come about through perfect understanding. Farmer Browns Boy used to talk to MT. Grouse, and Mir. Grouse acted as though he un- derstood every word. Of course he didn't understand the words, but he did understand the meaning. There was perfect understanding on his part.
 'Mr. Grouse" Farmer Browns Boy would say. you know l wouldn't harm a feather of you. You know I wouldn't let any one else harm you. The Green Forest wouldn't be the Green Forest with out you and Mrs. Grouse there. No, sir, it wouldn't. You two are just as necessary to make the Green Forest what it is as are the trees themselves. That is why l won't let anybody shoot you. You may not know if, but you are wonder ful bird That is. you are wonder ful now while you are alive. Dead you would not be wonderful at all. I wonder that hunters don't think of that sometimes when they are shooting. If they did, they wouldn't shoot"
 While Farmer Browns Roy was talking Mir. Grouse would be watch ing him with those bright eyes of his, and he appeared to understand every word that Farmer Browns Boy said. What he really did un- derstand was that here was friend whom he could trust. and that was all he needed.
 Farmer Browns Boy on his side understood how fearful Mr. Grouse must have been the first time he came over there. He understood how fully Nr. Grouse now trust ed him, and if made him jingle all over to feel that this wonderful little wild person of the Green Forest should trust him so fully There had been q time when Farmer Browns Boy used 10 shoot and was very fond ot hunting, He could remember very well the thrill he had felt when he had shot q Grouse

 Dinner - Salmon loaf. creamed canned peas, scalloped potatoes, date and orange salad, cucumber rings, graham bread, peach Bavarian cream, crisp vanilla wafers, milk. coffee.
 You will like a good orange mar malade on the griddle cakes quite as well as on toast. Try 1t in place of syrup.
 When oranges do not figure as the breakfast fruit, they should be used some other time during the day, In the days menu an orange salad is served at dinner. Be sure to choose naval oranges for q salad. The pulp of this variety of orange is firm and can be removed from it's encasing tissue in neat whole pieces, while the Florida orange, juicy and sweet though it be, is too soft.

 Two large apples, 1-2 cup sugar, 4 tablespoons water, tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind.

Remove cores from apple slices and simmer Tn syrup until clear. Drain from syrup and brown quickly in fat in winch pork has cooked. Serve each patty on an apple ring.

to Honey Lou's own wedding the l year before.
 With her head held high, Honey Lou sailed past her down the aisle. T suppose" she thought with the | bitterness that was so rare with her. T suppose she thought all of Jacks friends would drop me the minute we split up. Well, she had | another think coming." Then Jacks own face swam be- fore her eyes. The wedding pro- cession had reached the front of the church, and there he stood, just behind sam Langdon.
 Honey Lon could feel his eyes On her every movement as she swept up to the altar and stopped beside the nervous, shaking little bride.
 Above them the great music of the wedding march rose, beating higher and higher like wings-and then like wings, it dropped to throbbing stiffness.
 
 Lou to the bottom of her soul, and she was suddenly dreadfully afraid that she was going to cry. She bent her head, and the big white hat shadowed her face and hid it.
 No one saw her put up one gloVed finger to her wet eyes. except one person. And he scowled and stared stonily ahead of him as if he had not seen.
 They walked out of the church together. but neither one of them spoke, and as soon as they got to Daisys house Honey Lou attached herself to Tim Donegal and would not leave his side all evening. She sat between him and Jack at the brides table. and afterward she left the room with him.
 T tell you, I've got a date at home" he kept telling her in ais thick laughing voice. "One of the bridesmaids and l are going to sneak away-I've got 10 go'
 Well, you aren't going! You're gong 10 stay right here with me- Honey Lou told him. .%le saw, Jack look at them disgustcdly every now and then. and it filled her with wicked joy. Anyway, I don't be- lieve you-which bridesmaid 2"
 But Tim refused to tell her. It's nobody's business but mine which one it is,' he said loudly. If l tell you you'll tell somebody else, and the first thing I know the story will be all over town"
 He tried to put on his overcoat in the hall, but he couldn't seem to manage it. At last Honey Lou found the armholes for him, and half pushed him out onto the porch.
 As she stood watching him 20

! cut into the half darkness, a car drove up at the foot of the steps and he got into it. Honey Lou saw, with a violent start. that it was Angela's car. Could Angela be the bridesmaid with whom he had his heavy date?"
 She turned to go back into the house, and found Jack standing just behind her in the dark hall way.
 What's all the shooting about ?" he asked.
 Just your saintly friend and Tim Donegal sneaking off together, that's all,'
 He put out a hand to stop her as she passed him, but she managed 10 get away and run up the stairs to the dressing room. He did not come near her again all evening or even look at her. But she found herself watching him. Was he thinner? She couldn't tell; Jack was one of those tall, wiry men who can carry two hundred pounds and still look like a rail.
 He did look tired, though, and unhappy.
 well, that's good for him. hope he is." she told herself fierce ly. Goodness knows he's made me unhappy enough"
 But far down in her secret heart she knew she did not hope Jack was unhappy.
 As she started home alone in a jolting yellow taxicab she saw him standing at the bottom of the Deane's front steps watching her.

Your Health
 How to Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia,
 the Health Magazine

A good eye is best let alone. All sorts of preparations are offered with the claims that they repair and rejuvenate the eye and the eyesight. that they make the eye more bril- liant and attractive, that they make it unnecessary to wear glasses.
 There is not the slightest evidence as to the actual virtue of any such preparation offered directly to the public, or any eason for believing that the eye needs daily treatment with any kind of eye water.
 Find Ready Sale
 Charlatans and patent medicine salesmen, realizing that the eye is an interesting organ and that the slightest disturbance of sight is likely 10 produce fear. find that the sale of such preparations usually is easy.
 The most common disturbance of the eye is the entrance into it of q cinder, eyelash. or a grain of dust.
 An eye with a foreign body should not be carclesSly rubbed or treated The person may gently pull the up per lid over the lower lid once or twice. This will serve to cause a flow of tears and perhaps to carry the foreign body to the lower lid and thus 10 the corner of the eye, where it will be washed out.
 Looking UnGer Lid
 A person who is competent may after washing the hands thorough ly, pull down the lower lid and look on the surface for q foreign body.
 If this is not seen, and if he u1.- derstands how the thing is done, he may then turn back the upper lid, at tho same time asking the patient to look downward. 1T the foreign body is seen on the upper lid, it may be removed by q clean wisp Of cotton or gAu2c.
 If q foreign substance is SO deep ly embedded in the tissues that it is not easily removable. someone should be consulted who has had full experience in the removal of foreign bodies and. who will not make the condition1Morse by irrita- ton and by the introduction of dangerous pus-forming bacteria.

Quicksands of Love
 Adele GarrisOn's New Phase of
Revelations Of q Wife

Philip Neritzen was too finished a man of the world to betray the slightest chagrin, but there was gleam away back in the depths of his brilliant black eyes which made me shiver slightly, so steely was it.
 T will set the conference then, as l originally planned, for tomorrow" he said. and subtly he managed to convey the impression that l had upset plans of his equal in impor- tance to World Court. If you can manage it, come in q half hour earlier. I wish you very pleasant outing. Good afternoon"
 An Uneasy Movement
 He swept mo a ceremonial bow, nodded to Hugh and went back to his car, leaving me more furiously angry than 1 had been for many a day. In his last direction he had used the same satirical intonation which l had heard him inflict upon the local Tillie the Toiler in his out CT office. It gave both Hugh and me to understand that l was tempera- mental and unsatisfactory employee. or so my inflamed imagination read his infections.
 I found my arm trembling as Hugh took it 10 assist me into the roadster. l felt rather than saw that he was looking at me keenly, but he said nothing until We were well into the Drive going northward while Philip Veritzen's car was pro- ceeding in the opposite direction. Then as he skilfully jockeyed the car to a place in the more swiftly moving vehicles he said tensely:
 What right has that man 10 speak to you like that? Who is he?"

Veritzen Is Taken Aback By Madge's

Decision
 It was but the fraction of a sec ond that I debated my course after Philip Veritzen's slightly sneering suggestion that I assure him myself of my plans for the afternoon. Above all else I was anxious to avoid even a verbal clash between the two men who stood bareheaded by the side of the car, awaiting my decision.
 My secret inclinations told me to accede to my employers request that I attend his conference in the afternoon but my self-respect and my sense of decent obligation to Hugh Grantland outweighed my de- sire. But it was with distinct sink ing of my heart as l Visualized what punishment the great theatri cal magnate might visit upon me he might even decide that he wish ed no more of my research work that I looked up at him and spoke with apparent lightness, but feeling that I must swallow between each two words.
 Neritzen Loses the Hand
 T am so sorry" l said. But 1 am afraid this is the one afternoon when I cannot break my engage ment even for d conference, and you surely know how interested l am in them. Major Grantland is one of my oldest and closest friends; indeed l am indebted to him for the life of my small son. He has been away in China for months, and this is the first time I have seen him since his return. We are going for a drive out somewhere to lunch. but 1 expect 10 be back at dinner time, and devote the evening to the rounding up of the things which l expect to bring tomorrow to your office.

on the wing. But now he knew that that thrill was nothing compared with the thrill of having Mr. Grouse come up and pick grains of buck wheat from his hands. When he had shot Grouse he knew that for time there was going to be a lonely spot in the Green Forest. Now he knew that there would be no lonely spot because of him, and it was a splendid feeling.
 So there was perfect understand ing between Farmer Browns Boy and Mir. Grouse, who had his free dom; and between Farmer Browns s Boy and Mrs. Grouse. who hadn't her freedom because as yet it wasn't safe for her 10 go free. Copyright, 1926. by T. w. Burgess)

ALL DECEMBER RECORDS
BROKEN BY G. C. VISITORS

The total travel to the Grand Can
yon national park the past month,
broke all records for December, says
j. r. Eakin, superintendent. Records
show that 3119 people entered the
park, which is in excess of December
1923, the previous record.
Ideal weather conditions resulted
in an exceptionally heavy increase in
auto travel During the month 179
cars carrying 542 people were regis
tered, 148 per cent gain over Decem-
Der 1924. All canyon roads are in
excellent condition, and cars have
been registered every day of the pres
ent season.
The feature of the months travel,
was the visit of the Sierra club, Cali
fornia's famous hiking organization,
to the park A party Of 81 people
arrived at the canyon by train, and
spent week camping out in the can
yon depths. They report having an
enjoyable time, and we're all enthus-
iastic,. about the inner canyon as a
winter camping ground. During the
trip they. explored the little known
wonders of Phantom canyon, and can
now count themselves among the few
white people who have ever traversed
this wonder spot.

FERRALL INTERESTED
IN CAMERON CLAIMS

l.. L. Ferrall, register and receiver
Of the local land office, brothei-in-
law to Senator Ralph H. Cameron,
and according to the records, interest,"
ed with Senator Cameron in certain
mining claims in the Grand Canyon
concerning which Ferrall rendered a
decision as register, which was re-
versed by Commissioner William
Spry of the United .Sattes. General
Land Office in Washington, was caus-
tically criticized for his handling of
the Cameron case by Spry. =
Concerning the Cameron Grand
Canyon mining claims Ferrall on De-
cember 10 recommended to Spry as
follows:
"It is shown by the record that the
governments side of the case is the
only one presented; and as the case
does not involve application for pat
ents, and in view Of the fact that
large sums of money have been ex-
pended il development work and no
injury can result to the government
in allowing such development to con-
tinue, it is recommended that the
contest be dismissed"
But Spry did not follow the recon-
mendationS of Ferrall Instead Spry
replied to Ferrall as follows:
'To comply with your recommends
tory would defeat the purpose of the
hearing and amount to the office dis.
regarding the proclamation of the
president and the laws of congress
withdrawing the land from the public
domain and creating the national
park.
ut is clear from careful review
of the entire record that your. hand-'
ling of the case has been. SO err0n-
eous as to indicate dispositions on
your part to ignore the applicable
laws or that you are wholly unfamil.
lar with the procedure to be observed
in such cases.
'sAs the evidence shows that no dis
covery was. made on any one of the
so-called locations and that the land
embraced therein is non-mineral in
character, the locations were null and
void and the lands are part Of the ma
tional park. It is SO held"
A paper of record in this case dated
August %, 1913, is signed by Ralph
