BEDTIME STORIES BY THORNTON
~ - -

She was barely in time A second
more would have been too late.
Terror the Goshawk checked him
self just in time. He swerved I'D and
alighted on tall stub. He glared all
about. Not living creature was in
sight. 1t was as if he alone was alive
there in the Green Forest. The ST
lence was the silence of a great fear.
III sit here awhile thought Ter
ror. Il must have interrupted a party.
With Peter and Jumper and Mrs.
Grouse all here it may pay to have
little patience. I'll watt
SO Terror waited. After a bit It
began to rain. 1t was very fine rain.
Peter Rabbit. safe in the hollow log,
did not mind it at all. In fact, he
would not have known 1t was raining
had he not poked his head out to see
If Terror was still about. Jumper the
Hare knew that it was raining, but
did not care. Under those hemlock
boughs was like being under a roof.
Peeping out he could see Terror the
Goshawk, SO he remained right there
Only Mrs. Grouse knew nothing of the
rain. She was very comfortable down
there under the snow and she intended
to stay there until there was no
chance that Terror would be waiting
So she was not at all worried. But
she did not know about the rain. Had
she known about the rain she might
have been worried at least a little.
She certainly would have worried
when the weather turned cold and the
fine rain began to freeze as soon as it
fell. 1t was making a crust over the
surface of the snow.
Terror the Goshawk soon flew away
to seek shelter. This sort of weather
took away his appetite. Jumper and
Peter remained where they were, for
they were protected and comfortable.
And Mrs. Grouse remained where she
was under the snow because she was
comfortable and safe. At least she
thought she was safe. She could not
think of any enemy likely to find her
there.
Now, Peter Rabbit did not think
anything about Mrs. Grouse. Even if
he had there was no way in which he
could have let her know that she
really was in the greatest of all dan.
gers for her, the danger Of being made
a prisoner under the crust. Jumper
did not think anything about Mrs
Grouse. A crust never botherS him
so he did not think of what it might
mean to her. And all the time the
rain fell, and then the air grew colder
and colder. A thin crust formed on
the surface of the snow. This thin
crust grew thicker and thicker and
harder and harder. And all the time
down beneath it Mrs. Grouse squatte6
in warmth and comfort, and was
thankful for the snow that aided hel
to escape from Terror the Goshawk.

Although tomorrow is Sunday-a

that are obviously pessimistic. This
atmosphere need not. unless you wish
it to do so, disturb the even tenor of
your way, as, by will-power, you can
rise superior to all untoward condi-
tons, and make of the day what you
want it to be, and what 1t should be.
Little incidents need not be magni-
fed into events of Importance. Words
carelessly spoken need not be given a
sinister Interpretation that was never
intended. Keep calm, maintain poise,
exercise self-restraint,

not to be the most intellectual, but al

If tomorrow is your birthday, you
have very clear powers Of thinking

can you expect others to do so?
The opposite sex has unusual attrac-
tons for you. and constancy is not
a distinctive feature of your make
up" You are, however, extremely
popular among your friends.
You are versatile and resourceful,
and it is to be regretted, for your
own sake, that you do not possess
more determination of character and
fixed principles to guide you.

Cranberry Compete.

Sort and carefully pick out the

them from little stems. Wash and
put them to boil in three pints of
water. Cover the boiler and keep the
steam in until the cranberries are

ready one quart of water and two
pounds of sugar boiling hot. Care.

SUB ROSA
Catching Him Out.

Roy can't fool me- Jane told me
with great pride. when he tries to
put over a bluff on me, 1 catch him
| out every time. I've got so / can tell
in an instant when he's going to tell
me nice little fib, and, believe me,
| he knows that I'll check up on him
every time. He doesn't pull any line
! on me when I'm conscious"
Having made her little speech, she
| settled back complacently and looked
| smugly comfortable.
She was happy in the knowledge
| that her man could hold no secrets
from her, that his every deception
| would be Immediately detected.
! In other words, she constituted her
| self a sort of police force, set on
| watching Roy and determining wheth.
| er he had criminal tendencies or not.
Do you think she is right in be-
| lieving that this is satisfactory
state of affairs? How do you sup
pose the boy friend feels about being
checked up every evening as regu-
larly as If he were still at school?
Suppose he is tossing her a few
| fibs just to keep her good-humored;
I will he like her any better for catch
| ing him up and reminding him that
| she's right on the job with a good
| memory?
If he's the kind of boy who finds
| IT easier to fib to his girl than to
| tell her the truth he'll resent being
! found out. If he's adopted the course
| of fibbinE as defense against her
wrath and jealousy her constant
doubts and suspicious will weary him.
| When a man is put to telling white
| lies because of his sweetheart's un-
reasonable temperament, it's the very
| last straw to have her bawl him out
| for doing the very thing which saves
| her peace of mind.
Andsnow we come to another sup
position; If the man actually happens
| to be honest with his girl friend, how
does 1t make him feel to know that
| Friend Sweetheart is keeping careful
tabs on everything he says, waiting
to trip him up If he says the wrong
| thing?
What real satisfaction can a girl
get out of exposing her mans false
hoods? If she discovers that he was
| really lying to her she can only have
a deep sense of hurt. And If she
catches him up over an unintentional
misstatement on his part she's made
a disa agreeable, lasting impression on
| him.
| Jane feels that because she once
| caught Roy in a fib to her she must
be ever on the watch for another
Consequently her eyes are sharp and
suspicious as she talks to him.
She doesn't trust him. and her dis
| trust oozes out of every pore. She
radiates doubt. How long will Roy
affection last in that atmosphere?
| If you have the misfortune 10 be

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Calling Him the Devil"

A commonly used expression today
to describe an underhanded or treach-
erous proceeding is putting some
thing over" And while it may be
true that the spirit of evil, in gaining
converts and victims for his we'll ad-
vertised underground regions, may be
putting something over" on the
forces of righteousness, it will surprise
many of us to learn that it is from
that particular slant of the matter
that the devil received his name,
Devil is derived from the Latin
"diabolus' consisting of ''dia' plus
''bolus" as translated from the ancient
Greek, and meaning respectively
over and Ito throw" An early con-
notation of the word was also ''slan-
derer." But in the literal and original
significance of the syllables of the
word we find agreement with the
theological theory that the devil, or
personified evil, is constantly lying in
wait to put something over" on un-
suspecting and weak humanity!
Verify. strange are the ways of
words!

CHAPTER XVIII.
Suspense.

Rosalind decided to say nothing TO
Madeline about having sung for Mr..
Rogers. After all, there was a chance
that it might come to nothing He
might not have been so much inn
pressed as she had thought at the
time, and 1t was better to wait. Be
sides, of late a GOODNESS had sprung
up between the two girls. This was,
Of course, Rosalind's fault. She was
not interested in Madeline's prattle
about the office and was frank to say
so. She was more intolerant than
she had ever been in her life. and the
suspicion that Jack and Madeline dis
cussed her affairs irritated her.
This suspicion was confirmed one
Sunday afternoon when, on entering
the house, Rosalind had overheard a
fragment of conversation in which her
name had been mentioned.
She did not betray the fact that she
had overheard, but her manner toward
Jack was SO overbearing. her re-
marks We're so edged with sarcasm,
that after a time he departed.
The usually sweet tempered Made
line was stung to resentment.
Rose, you were beaStly to Jack. l
really think 1t was too bad Of you.
You know how much he cares for you.
and yet you treat him abominably. He
was terribly hurt
In her heart of hearts Rosalind was
sorry. She had not meant TO be cruel.
but she hated the idea of being dis
cuSsed. Besides, she was irritated and
worried because she had not heard a
word from Mr.. Rogers. She was afraid
he had forgotten all about her. and to
be disappointed now when she had
been SO sure that he would give her
a chance would be too much.
After this, I won't bother either
of you" she said very evenly. You
two have plenty to talk about without
my presence, and if I'm not here you'll
have more time to discuss my affairs"
Rose" gasped Madeline.
It's quite true. isn't it? You were
talking about me when l came in to-
day"
Madeline flushed. But, Rose. you
don't really think that either Jack or
l would talk about you in the sense
you mean. You know how impossible
that would be-
Jack. Jack, Jack" Rosalind burst
out impatiently. I'm sick of hear
ing the name. I'm glad you like him

so much, but I don't see the point
in having him here every minute OF
the time. lie isn't so very interest
ing"
Rosalind jumped to her feet and
went to the window For a moment
there was silence in the room as she
stood there staring down into the
street, and then from behind her
came Madeline's voice, unimpassioned
and deliberate:
II wonder if you realize how you
are changing, Rose. You never used
to be like this. You never used TO ty
into RACES and say mean, cutting
things. 1t isn't like you"
Rosalind was silent. Perhaps she
was realizing the truth of Madeline :
words. but, at any rate. she did not
answer. and after a moment Madeline
went on speaking:
Il couldn't bear 1t if we drifted
apart, if there came a time when we
weren't friends any longer. Don't shut
me out of your life, Rose, darling.
I'm too fond of you for that
There was a sweetness, sincerity
about Madeline words that went
straight to Roses heart, and i'm
pulsively she whirled about, tears in
her eyes and with her lips quivering
4 little.
I'm sor1-y I was so disagreeable, -
she said penitently. please forgive
me. And l haven't changed, Madeline,
not really. not underneath.
1t was as though she wanted Made
line to reassure her. but, although
Madeline's quick smile flashed out.
she said nothing. Rose was changing.
Already she had begun to drift away
from the old life It made Madeline
unhappy to admit this, but it was
true. just as it was true that the
truce between them now was only Il
temporary one.
