 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 Chapter l.
 ! Barbara marveled at the complete triendliness of this Greenwich Vil- lage girl whom she had met scarcely two minutes before. Certainly all New York was not as cold and in- different as ii had been pictured.
 Maria was rambling on. "l knew you the minute l saw you. You cant miss q real Nillager if you're a Eillager yourself l said 10 myself, Maria. there's a soul mate for you'"
 Barbara pondered. "Where Is this place you know of?"
 'lts just around the corner from here, in a house owned by a maga- zine artist. The little apartment that's vacant has two open tireplaces and old French furniture and real bath tub, which many Village apart ments haven't Wouldn't you likn 10 see it?"
 They were interrupted by a small girl who burst into the room. Say" she cried boisterously, Miss Oliyero says to tell the newspaper lady she can't see her this afternoon, cause Pierre's burned her hair something awful. She's crying like anything, md cussing too"
 Barbara's companion laughed. Looks like fate, doesn't it? Well if Daisy's crying and cussing at the same time, we might as well clear out and go look at that apartment. She won't be fit 10 speak to for hours and hours. l pity Pierre"
 Barbara rose. If this place is as good as it sounds, l think I'll take

enough to go way over there and perhaps not find him at home. l will look around here first. Hello! Did l see something move?"
 Shadow stopped abruptly and sat up. You know he does sit up in just the same way that Peter Rabbit does. He sat up that he might look around better. He was just in time 10 see something vanish behind the trunk of a tree. Instantly Shadow bounded toward that tree. As he did so he saw a tiny dark form scamper acr 3s the snow toward an old stump. Ho got only glimpse of it. T wonder if that was a young Mouse" thought he, and bounded after 1t.
 By the time he reached the old stump no one was to be seen. Sha- dow started no one was to be seen, Shadow started around the old stump. Half way around he came face to fac2 with--who do you think? It was Tceny Wecny tho Shrew. l'5w had 1t been anybody but Teeny Weeny Shadow wouldn't have hesitated a second. He would have sprung quicker than you could catch your breath. But Teeny Weeny was different. Shadow could think of many things that he would like bet r for breakfast than Teeny Weeny. You see, Teony Weeny is ill 0 small way like Jimmy Skunk; he carries with him a very disagreeable perfume. It Is apt to spoil the appe- tite Of even a very hungry person. So Shadow hestated.
 Now Teeny Weeny didn't see Sha- , dow. Even had Shadow been dressed 1 in brown instead of pure white Teenv Weeny wouldn't have seen him. His eyes were not good enough | for that. B, his ears or his nose. or perhaps both together. told him of Shadows presence as quickly as Shadows eyes had told him of Teeny i Weeny's presence. Teenv Weeny didn't hesit, q. He didn't hesitate the tiniest part of a second. He was there, and then he wasn't. Had you been watching linn 1t would have seemed to you as If ho had vanished by magic. But to Shadow the Weasel ther1 was no magic in that disap- pcarance, Shadows eyes became red. With j st the faintest of snarls he sprang. But he was too late; there u-as Da Teenv Weany there There was orly a little hole in the crust of the snow-a little hole leading down under that old stump. Slim as ~Nadow is, that hole was too small for him.
 "- C.dn't want Shrew for break fast, anyway" muttered Shadow, and started on" (Copyright, 1926, by T. W. Burgess)

It was cold. Yes, sir, 1t was cold,
 Everbody said so. Nobody was doing much sitting around. Everybody kept moving in order 10 keep warm. It was so cold that it didn't seem as if such 2 tiny fellow as Tccny Wceny tho ShreW could stand it at all, But as a matter of fact Teeny Wecny wasn't minding 1t a bit. He was out hunting and he wasn't wasting q minute. You never will find Teeny Weeny sitting about hugging himself and complaining because it is cold.
 Now, over in the Green Forest an- other hunter had started forth 10 look for breakfast. This hunter was bigger-oh. very much bigger than Teeny Weeny, but even so, he was a small person. Unlike Teeny Weeny. he had perfectly good eyes. He had good eyes, good ears and a

 When Barbara reached Washing

 glowed in a corner of the living room.
 There was no sign of Maria. Bar bara went to the kitcl and put the tea kettle on before she took off her hat and coat. Then she passed by the fireplace again and stopped to look in the flames as she went.

NEW MESSIAH IS DUE.

Early in 1925 we witnessed the ca pers of religious sect who confidently awaited the end of the world on cer. tain set date as many deluded follow. CTS of crazy prophets had done before them
 Now we are promised the second manifestation of Christ by a branch of the Theosophists who have hand picked Messiah for the occasion.
 Press dispatches of the past few days have carried announcements from the high priestess of the cult. Mrs. Annie Besant, who proclaims the second coming of Christ in the person of one J. Krishnamurti, 3O-year-old Hindu of Adyar province of Madras, India, who has been in training it ap- pears for the important role he is supposed to shortly play in spiritual affairs.
 Mrs. Besant has also chosen seven disciples" for the new Messiah. it is announced from New York. while five others are to be designated in India.
 The expectations of the Theso- phists are disclosed rather vaguely in dispatch which says: "The manifes- tations are looked for during the Christmas season when Krishnamurti.

Sometimes a little illustration is worth more than a lot of argument and so it happened in the case of 6 customer who thought his home mer chant was asking too much for an ar ticle which he priced at S325.
 Why" said the customer, "I can get the very same thing from a mail order house for S2S9."
 Well" said the merchan, tttco I
 Well" said the merchant, "it cost me more than that, but to show you that I'm good sport I'll sell it on the same terms as the mail order house offers'
 "Very well," said the customer, ''de- liver it to my house and send the bill the first of the month."
 "Oh, no," replied the dealer, mail order houses do not do business on credit. Fork over the cash.'
 The buyer paid the cash.
 Now two cents for postage and five cents for the money order"
 Sheepishly the customer paid over the seven cents.
 Now thirty-five cents expressage." :"
 Well, I'll be hanged" exclaimed the customer, but he came across and then said: Now give me the ar ticle and I'll carry it home and be through with this foolishness."
 Give it to you? This is not Chi cago, and you'll have to wait a week, at least" Then the merchant put the money in the cash register and

WHAT ONE BOY DID.

Forty odd years ago a boy worker in knitting mill saw the picture o1 a typewriter in an advertisement and formed the desire to write on one. He had never seen real machine for they were few in those days but from the picture he made a keyboard for himself and practiced upon it so dili. gently that he later got a job as typist and was able to hold it.
 Promotion for such boy was nat. urally both sure and rapid. Each new position was used by him as a stepping stone toward a better one. A few weeks ago he reached the top.
 His name is George H. Jones, re- gently elected chairman of the board of directors of the Standard Oil Com pany of New Jersey, one of the most important positions in the world of business and industry.
 He is living rebuke to the care less and incompetent worker, whose only ambition is to "get by for the time being. While every boy cannot be expected to reach such high place all might greatly profit by the exam pie of determination and industry set by George H. Jones.

ECONOMlZE ON TIRES.

While the price of crude rubber has dropped materially during the past
 month, it is still much too high Last
 week the price was around 88 cents pound as compared with $1.11 a month ago. One year ago the price was only about 40 cents, which was considered high at that time. Secretary Hoover of the Department | of Commerce urges that all users of automobiles should endeavor to get as much mileage out of their tires as possible. Tires should be repaired before they become too far gone and all old rubber should be saved. By these means he declares that the amount of rubber now used may be reduced 25 per cent without lessening the driving of automobiles a single mile
 No prospect of speedy return to former rubber prices is in sight as production has been curtailed by the British monopoly, and even if Ameri- can concerns start rubber plantations as they expect to do, it will be sey- eral years before they will yield suf- f1cient rubber to make this country in. dependent of foreign control.
 Economy in the use of tires should be considered duty of every auto- mobile owner at least until such time as rubber may be brought down to a price somewhere in reason.
