 There was q knock on the bath room door. He turned off the noisy stream of water and answered.

 With a grunt Of disappointment, Morton left the shower and hurried fly slipped into his clothes.
 At the top of the stirs he stopped, .aghast.

Though that isn't saying very much, you know" she added, with grim little nod at Dicky and me. l un. derstood Li!lian's nod, for l knew culy too we'll what thwarted life the young girl had led, first with her mother. whose queer twisted personality had made it blessed re- lief for her children when she was killed in an automobile accident; and second with ner aunt who, though idolizing the child, had sac ridced her to the shibboleth of duty as she understood it.
 "Where Will She Stay?"
 "This IS the program" Lillian ment on. Mary is to return with Harriet and go back to the school from which she was suspended for her midnight prank. She will make the public apology which was tho condition for her re-entrance and will remain in the school until the end of the present term, fortunately not so very far away. It will en- able her to leave the school with honor and then she will come back here, prepared to take up 0 course of study of Philip Feritzen's own outlining. II is one that is more rigid, in some ways, than any preparatory school curriculum ever 1 invented. But there is not wasted moment iu any of the outlines Everything is designed to advanc" Mary step by step nearer her goal. And therefore the girl is delighted.'
 Where will she stay" Dichy ! asked.
 That is up 10 you" Lillian an- | swered. "Veritzen wishes Mary 10 live near his own home in the charge Of someone. who while sym 1 pathetic and tactful. shall yet pos sess firmness enough to keep the girl from getting off the chalk line
 "The well known iron hand in the velvet glove, l suppose" Dicky drawled.
 Exactly. Lillian answered. q wonder if your keen intellect also can guess the person ] suggested to ! him as Mary's best bet as a guar dian"
 "Oh, Of course, our own little 'Missus Fix It. here" Dicky retort- ed, adding judicially, T don't sec why it wouldn't be a very good thing. She will be company for Madge when I'm away and she ought 10 be able to help quite lit tie with the houscwork and the care of Junior in hev odd time.'

didn't care much for that bark, al- though it wasn't bad tasting. He reached around and bit again. He was taking out his anger on that helpless young tree. By the time he felt better he had pulled off bark way around tht young tree, and that meant that that young tree would die. You know that is what Peter Rabbit has sometimes done and what Danny Meadow Mouse has sometimes done in winter. They have gnawed the bark all the way around a young tree and the tree died. When bark is taken off q young tree in this way it is said to be girdled, and a girdled tree dies.
 So Johnny Chuck had been in the very worst kind of mischief, al though he didn't know it. He didn't know that free would die. Probably he wouldn't have cared. If he had known, But he hadn't known. II didn't enter his head that he had really hurt that tree. He had done it more 10 show Chatterer what he would do to him if he could only catch him. Chatterer continued 10 cling 10 the top of the tree and keep his mouth shut and his tongue still.
 Johnny Chuck, having taken out on the poor young tree the anger which Chatterer had so nrovokinglv aroused. felt better. He stopped growing. He stopped biting the tree. He stopped grinding his teeth. Ho looked up at Chatterer and grin ned He saw that Chatterer was anything but comfortable. This is what made him grin. He decided that ne would make himself as comfortable as possible and keen Chatterer out there for a while. So there he sat and sat and sat. and up above him Chatterer chung and chung and clung.
 They were both there when Farmer Browns Boy came along. Johnny Chuck saw Farmer Browns Boy coming. He waited until Farm CT Browns Roy was quite near. then he jumped down and scampered for home as fast as his short legs could take him. The last that Farmer Browns Boy saw of him was a pair of black heels disappearing through that doorway. As for Chatterer, he jumped, too. as soon as Johnny Chuck had jumped, and away he went. chattering and scolding.
 "Now. what" said Farmer Browns Boy to himself. was Johnny Chuck doing up in one of my young apple trens?"

 Johnny knew very well that he couldn't climb up there. He was too hig. He couldn't hang on 10 those little branches the way Chatterer did. The knowledge that he could no, get up there made him more angry than ever. Yes, sir, it did so. IL made him so angry that he wasn't satisfied with just grinding his teeth. He felt that he just must bite something. He was biting angry: that's what he was Folks do get that way sometimes, especial ly the little folks who wear fur. He felt that if he could sink his teeth into something he would feel better
 Now, there wasn't B thing for Johnny to bite but that young apple tree. so he bit the young apple tree. He just set his teeth right in and pulled off big piece of bark. He

 Johnny Chuck sat up in the crotch made by the lowest limb of the young apple tree. It was a small tree, Probably ] e wouldn't have thought of climbing that tree had it not been that Chatterer the Red Squirrel had leased him until he lost his temper Now as he sat there his temper was still lost. Isn't it funny how people talk about losing a temper? Really they don't mean that at all, No one with ga lost temper has really lost it. In fact, the temper is very much in evidence.

Philip Veritzen Agrees to Develop
 Mary's Latent Talent

Philip terltLen Agrees 10 DcNelOp
 Marys Latent Talent
 Katie went about the business Of gathering up her bed linen with provoking slowness and l realized that she resented missing the oppor- tunity to hear our conversation con corning Philip Veritzen's reception Of Mary.
 I glanced at Dicky with lifted eyebrows and he promptly came 10 the rescue. ..,
 "Are there any movies around here. Katie" he asked Katie straigbtened herself, looked at him and broke into a wide grin.
 "One about efry two blocks she answered.
 D,ckv consulted his watch and took ont X bill from his pocket. Crumpling it, he tossed II to the now smiling girl. ~.
 See how far you can go on .!i''' he said. "but come back sober Katie's high cackle showed that her good humor was restored com pletely.
 Anyways. don't come back in a natrol wagon" she said. But l tink l take Mrs. Peters along deh l safe"
 She wasted no more time and in another minute the outer door closed behind her and we were look ing at each other in the helpless laughter with which Katie's vagaries generally leave us.
 "You applied the only possible salve," Lillian said, when she could speak.
 Its self preservation" Dicky retorted. If she didn't have the prospect of movie to see. she would make one herself by kneeling outside the door and doing her weli-known stunt of listening at the keyhole.
 'Tm n Proud Lady"
 That's a cinema I don't want produced" Lillian said dryly, "as long as Philip Veritzen's affairs are concerned. But gather around me children, and I will to you tale unfold" She perched herself upon the bed and we drew our chairs near her.
 "I want you 10 know I'm q proud lady" Lillian began. Its some thing to be able to interest Philip veritzen in anything. He was quit" frosty at first. Ton know that high and mighty manner of his when he is considering something new. But after he had sized Mary up and she did her little tricks for him he began to melt as rapidly as an ice cream cone in a furnace room."
 He put her through all her paces." she went on, made her tell him the story Of her life in three volumes and when he got through he knew more about Marry Harri . son than anybody else ever did.

 She tried various medicines. At last, a friend of hers spoke of Lydia E, Pinkhams Vegetable Compound and Miss Schmidt gave it trial.
 Everyone says I am a healthier and stronger girl" she writes.
