and then the other side of the trail, You see. he thought in that way he might find where Mrs. Grouse had gone.
 He was almost half way back to where he had found the feathers of Mrs. Grouse when he stopped abruptly. His eyes began to shine. Very carefully he ran his nose over the leaves on the ground. Then, with look of triumph on his face, Reddy started off to one side. He had found new trail, and it was the trail of Mrs. Grouse. He knew now that she really had tried a sharp trick, sending Mr., Grouse on while she herself went off 10 one side.
 Tt won't do you any good this time, Mrs. Grouse. II won't do you any good this time" saids Reddy to himself. You may be smart, but you are not smarter than Reddy Fox. as you will find out. It takes some one smarter than you to fool me" ,v
 Now this was sheer boosting on the part of Reddy. He had quite forgotten how many times he had tried his very best to catch Mrs. Grouse, and how each time she had fooled him. By this time Reddy was quite sure that Mrs. Grouse really could not fly. He knew that if she

 Another frequently overlooked cause of sore feet and of pain and tenderness of the ball of the foot in these modern times is the craze for too vigorous dancing. Stress that is too great should not be thrown upon muscles and fragments unused to the effort.
 The professional dancer begins slowly and develops the tissues to a point at which they may carry their burdens successfully. Various exer- ciscJ of the foot muscles will serve to strengthen the arch.
 A shoe that is too short may serve to develop hammer toes that turn downward and are exceedinly painful. A shoe with a heel that is too high may throw a burden on the bones and muscles of the back and of the thighs. . ...

could fly she would have taken to those stout wings of hers before now. So, now that he had found her trail again, Reddy felt as sure of her as if he already had her in his teeth. He couldn't think of any possible way in which Mrs. Grouse could get away from him.
 Chatterer the Red Squirrel had been following through the trees, and so had Sammy Jay. and both were scolding and calling him bad names and making a great racket Blacky the Crow came over to see what it was all about, and Blacky added his voice to the racket the other two were making. So that particular place in the Green Forest Was very noisy place. Reddy didn't like it. Noise is likely to draw at tention, and Reddy Fox was fearful that some one else might be drawn over there, some one whom he didn't want 10 meet. So he hurried in order to get Mrs. Grouse and get away from there as quickly as possible.

Menus for tie Family
BY SISTER MARY

Breakfast-Stewed dried peaches cereal, thin cream, French toast. syrup, milk, coffee.
 Luncheon-Scalloped onions and tomatoes, graham bread, apple tapi- oca pudding, milk, tea.
 Dinner-New England boiled din- her, celery, Indian pudding. whole wheat bread. milk, coffee.
 A New England boiled dinner uses all the vegetables in season in it's composition. Parsnips, carrots, turnips, cabbage, potatoes, onions and beets lend their flavor and | nourishment to this -honorcd American dish. Corned beef or salt pork are the meats chosen for the dinner. It's well worth while to use a heavier piece of corned beef than will be needed for one meal, for corned beef hash or the meat serv- ed sliced cold is delicious. The beef absorbs some of the faVors of the vegetables cooked with it and the result IS delicately seasoned, de- lightfully tender, cold sliced meat.
 Scalloped Onions and Tomatoes Six or eight medium sized onions. 3 tablespoons butter, cups solid canned tomatoes, 1 teaspoon sugar. 1-2 teaspoon salt. 12 teaspoon pep per, 12 cup grated cheese, eggs, tablespoons buttered crumbs.
 Peel and slice onions, melt butter in sauce pan, add sliced onions and cook five minutes. Add tomatoes, salt, sugar and pepper and simmer for forty-five minutes. Sprinkle well-buttered baking dish with coarse crumbs. making a thin, even coating. Turn in onion and tomato mixture. sprinkle with grated cheese put in the oven long enough to melt the cheese. Make four slight de- pressions in top of dish, slide an egg carefully into each hollow, sprinkle with buttered crumbs and return to the over for eight minutes 10 cook the eggs and brown the crumbs.

Of all the uncomfortable people on earth none are so disturbed as those with painful, aching feet.

 Reddy Fox is inclined to see things through when once he starts them. You see, curiosity. if nothing more, would keep him at it. Then again. he has pride. Reddy has a lot of pride. To give up easily would hurt. that pride.
 So when. Reddy discovered that Mrs. Grouse was not under the pile of brush where he expected to find her. he didn't give mp. No sir. he didn't give up. He looked up at Mr. Grouse and Chatterer the Red Squirrel. and drew up his lips to show all his long sharp teeth. They were not pleasant to look at. In spite of himself Chatterer shiver- ed. Then Reddy turned and began to run In a big circle around that brush pile, keeping his nose to the ground. He was hunting for the scent of Mrs Grouse. He hoped to find where she had left that brush pile.
 But though he was very painstak ing and careful. Reddy found no trace of her. He did some quick thinking. If she had been there l would have found her scent some where" thought her. Tt must be that she didn't come to this brush pile at all. It must be that MT. Grouse left her somewhere and came on here alone. The thing to do is to go back and find out where they parted

the newspaper stories sent out from

Without saying anything to me of his
intentions, he told the city editor of 4

her. and suggested that feature
writer be sent to the train to inter
view her on her arrival In New York.
Fortunately. the feature writer as
signed to the story was a girl Eliza

Des Moines-Hazel Ross. Elizabeth
did not suspect that she was being
interviewed, and talked with entire
freedom and naturalnesS. The story,
sympathetic and intelligent in every
line, was played under a three-column
lead, with pictures, and created a
great deal of interest.

interview, six private schools in New

PICKING A CITY FOR FIREWORKS

The Democratic party has learn ed much since the hectic days of 1924. Its party managers, such as have been quoted to date, are a unit in saying no more New York.
 Not only that, but they won't pick any city for the national convention merely because the hotel keepers of the town welcome them.
 The hotel keepers have nothing on the Democratic party; they us- ually vote Republican anyway,
 It is contrary to the unwritten law in the Democratic party to hold the convention in the same city as the previous convention was held. This would eliminate New York anyway
 So far as we have been able to ascertain. not even the New York World wants the Democrats to meet within shouting distance of its dome next time.
 At this writing it looks as if Chicago will be the city for the gathering. Illinois is one of the normal Republican states that the Democrats have the best chance of winning, especially if Boss Brennan does well there. If Al Smith Is the nominee it would be q 50-50 propo- sition as to which way Illinois electors would go.
 And if the Democrats with Smith the nominee carried both New York and Illinois it would mean tall hustling for the G. o. P 10 hit the bulls eye. At any rate, it could be set down as certain as an astronomi cal deduction that there would be no majority of 7.p0O,oOO.
