any longer. No, sir, You should have

shone with anticipation. He turned
the corner of the house with a rush.

tell him how glad he was they We're
around in front of the house there
wasn't any master. There was no

the expression on BoWser's face. He
just didn't know what to make Of it.
He sat down for a minute. He SuS-
pected joke. He suspected that his
master was hiding somewhere near.
He gave an impatient little yelp.
Then another. Then he decided that
his master must have run around the
house. Away went Bowser as fast az
house. He was sure that when he got
back Of the house he would find
Farmer Browns Boy. But he didn't.
He didn't find anybody. His tail ceased
to Wag. In fact, it began to droop
He didn't know what to make Of it all
And just then he heard that whistle
again around in front of the house.
He barked reply and away he raced
When he rounded the corner Of the
front Of the house no one was there,
This time he didn't stop. If his mas

running around the house he would
just catch him. So he didn't stop, bur
kept right on going, running harder
than ever. Clear around the house he
raced, but not so much as a glimpse
Of Farmer Browns Boy did he get.
Such a puzzled dog as Bowser the
Hound was! Up to this time he had
not thought of that wonderful nose of
his. Now he did think of it and at
once began to run this way and that
way with his nose to the ground, hop
ing and expecting to find the scent of
Farmer Browns Boy. But he didn't
find it. All the way around the house
he ran, and nowhere did he get even
so much as Whit of the scent OF
Farmer Browns Boy. Something was
wrong. BoWSer sat down in front of
the house and looked up at all the
w1ndWs. His master wasn't at any of
them. Just then he heard that whjs-

OF the house. Once more Bowser
bounded away. He tore around the
corner Of the house and expected to
find Farmer Browns Boy at the back
door. But the back door was closed
Bowser gave one look at it, put his

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Pisces.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
very favorable until dusk. They then
become rather overcast and uncertain.
The signs indicate that artistic ef
forts are apt to benefit most from the
good influences that reign, although
there will be apparent in every line
,, OF endeaVor a spirit of enthusiasm
and optimism which never initiates
against success. In the evening re-
Taxation should be indulged in, and it
is most necessary that poise should be
established, so as to avoid those pit
falls into which impulse or lack of
thought often lead the unwary.
A boy born tomorrow will expert
ence very little sickness, and the few
minor ailments from which he will
suffer Will yield very readily to treat
ment. A girl, on the other hand, will
be frail and delicate, but, with regu-
lar nutrition, will outgrow her infan-
tile disabilities. In character both
boy and girl will be rather difficult
to manage, but will listen to any ap-
peal to their reason. They will not
be overdemonStrative and will rather
impress those near and dear to them
with their callousness AS matter
Of fact, they will have loving hearts,
but be rather shy at demonstration.
There is nothing to indicate any eX-
ceptional brilliancy, but astrological
influences presage for them fair sue
cess.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
are very partial to solitude and find
more pleasure in your own self-con-
tained society than when surrounded
by friends or acquaintances. You are
an omnivorouS reader, always chooS-
ing, for preference, the higher type
of literature. You also have an in
satiable desire to rise superior to your
present conditions and always long
for the finer things of life.
You have excellent reasoning pow
ers and are somewhat critical in your
ideas and opinions. You can state a
case very pointedly and clearly and
are a convincing talker, although al
ways disposed to say as little as pos
sible.
If you find a mate who will be will
ing to leave you alone when you want
to be left alone-a very difficult task
or who is a student like yourself, your
home life should be congenial. endur-
ing and compatible.
Well known persons born on that
date are Theodore Lyman. philanthro-
pist: William Rimmer, sculptor;
Henry F. Durant, philanthropist; Will
liam Allen Butler, lawyer and author,
and Joseph Jefferson, actor.

Jimmie, the Squirrel.

Jimmie, the squirrel, lives in an old
pear tree in the back yard of the house
next door. He is the pet of the chill
dren who live in the neighborhood.
From window to window he whiskS,
Gathering up and down the fire es-
capes, gobblng nuts until his pouches
stick out like Santa's pockets.
Just before school time the windows
about the square of back yards are
lighted up by eager faces watching
Jimmie. Each child hopes that this
morning he will choose his particular
landing and eat breakfast from well
spread table. He's democratic, though.
Each window is visited some time or
other, and a peanut is as graciously
received as an English walnut or a
fat brazil nut. Jimmie belongs to the
crowd
1 put out my dish of nuts with the
rest and I watch just as eagerly as
the boy across the way to see which
way Jimmie is heading as he drops
off the old pear tree. This morning
it is my turn 90 play host and he sits
nibbling flberts and waving his tail,
while l ask him if he likes New York
better than the country. He says he
does. And then we talked about his
great-grandfather. I knew him well.
In those days it was quite the thing
to capture a gray squirrel and put
him in a cage and provide him with
a revolving wheel, in which he raced
endless miles until he sank down, IA
tigued beyond motion, heartsick with
longing for the treetops and the chase,
the fun of gathering nuts and losing
them against the day when they
might be needed, and miraculously
discovered in the nick of time.
YES" said I, II knew him we'll. 1
got myself in trouble for opening the
cage door and letting him go. I had

Millions are benefited by
this new process

FOR years it not understood why some cod
liver oils were better than others-more effective
in raising resistance to disease, in aiding con-
valescence, in promoting the growth of children
and protecting them against rickets. Then the
existence of vitamins discovered and the
reasons became clear.
For thing, oils were naturally richer
in vitarnins than others. Then too, vitanins of
the best oil were often greatly reduced in
the process of preparing and transporting it And.
since cod-liver oil has little therapeutic value
aside from its vitanins these facts formed prob
lem Of the first importance.
With characteristic conscientiousness the lab
oratories of E. r. Squibb Sons set about
finding solution. They did two things. They
tested all oil for its vitamin potency, and unless
it was high enough they rejected it. Then they
developed process of refining and packaging the
oil which insured the retention of its vitanns.
This process, together with the methods of puri-
flying and refining used has an additional virtue
it makes the oil much more palatable.
Millions have benefited by the discovery of this
process. For it is now possible to get cod-liver
oil which has had its vitamin potency tested and
protected. And this oil is, moreover, astonishngy
rich in vitamins. It is best, therefore, to insist
upon Squibb's Cod-Liver Oil. Then you will be
sure of what you are getting, always. At drug
stores everywhere.

He interrupted laughingly.
That was why l came here to-
night. There was something in your
expression this afternoon that l
thought might be jealousy. Until then
1 couldn't believe that you cared for
me- You have always been so remote,
so distant with me. almost as if you
disliked me. By the way, you haven't
told me that you care, you haven't
said you love me"
He drew her back into his arms. Il
want to hear you say it," he whis-
pered against her hair.
II adore you" she murmured. "All
l want is a chance to prove IT to you. ="
For a long moment she clung to him,
and then half shyly she drew back.
"And Isabel?" she asked.
He laughed Isabel Anderson is a
cousin of mine. l have always been
very fond of her, although she is
frightfully spoiled. She lives in Chi
cago, and has come on to New York
to consult me about getting a divorce
from her husband. 1 took her out this
afternoon to try to persuade her
against it. I think she'll go back to
him.
Rosalind drew a long breath.
Does that satisfy you?" he said,
teasingly.
She nodded, but as he looked at her
the half smile faded from her face,
she grew suddenly serious.
II have something to tell you. To-
night when / came home l was so
jealous, so hurt, that 1 did a foolish
thing. I called up Nicky Blake and
made an engagement to go out with
him. You remember him; he came to
our table that night; he had been
drinking and you sent him away"
Yes, l remember him." Allen said
quickly. You were with him a great
deal. Is he coming here tonight"
Yes"
