 conNenlonccs--I had seen the i'm. mense amount Of cleaning which
 would have to be done. and the inadequate equipment which the apartment afforded. None of these things counted with me, however, compared with tho delight Of having plenty of air and sunlight, and n view from tho windows which was tho Mecca of many travellers.
 But the fact that Edith Fairfax had selected this apartment because of pIcky, and that she was urging its acceptance upon me did count. had hard work to keep my lips from q lofty rejection Of the place as something which would not suit | mo.
 Common sense finally conquered. however, and with q determination to do the thing royalty or not at all, l found myself saving choeriIy:
 "l think it's far too good n chance to lose. Thank you so much for letting us know about it. If Dlcky likes it, we'll tako it."
 "Oh the Dicky bird Is crazy for it." she said. Hes been up here when the PrescotIs lived here, and he's always thought it was the rac- .coons ramcoat,"
 So Dickv already had sclectod the apartment That was what her words meant if they meant anything. Yet nothing in his remarks 10 mo had signihcd that he ever had seen 1t. For second or two, before l could grasp again at my sclf-control, saw red, not with some where in the last hour l had lost that emotion - hut with outraged solf-cstecm at the cavalier manner in which my husband and one of my old friends had treated me.
 Edith's voice camo to my cars as if from point yards away.
 What is the matter, Madge? Are you ill?"
 l grasped at the straw she gave me.
 'I do feel q bit giddy," I said. | I've been having Il strenuous time with Junior this week."
 "Yos, l know, Dicky told me-" she answered, while l wondered if there was anything in the world which | my husband did not tell her. She waited for a few seconds, then lean cd toward the chair in which I had seated myself as I pretended giddi- ness.
 Look here, Madgc." she said crispy, lam I right in my conjcc- ture that you think I've been too about this apartmcnt?' Copyright, 1926, by Newspaper

l there. IL was her nose that told her.
 Black Pussy paused and sniffed.
 "I smell Mouse" muttered Black | Pussy and her eyes began to glow. "l smell moro than Mouse: l smell Mice.'
 She began to steal forward softly, step at q time, and how her eyes did glow. As yet she hadn't seen Danny and Nanny: she had only smelled them. But, Danny and Nanny knew that if she kept on she soon would see them. They kept their eyes fixed on those greenish eyes of Black Pussys. Presently they saw d change in them and they saw Black Pussy crouch to spring. They knew then that they were discovered.
 As Black Pussy sprang Danny d"rted one way and Nanny dartcd another way, It Was this that saved them. You see, Black Pussy hesi- tatcd. She didn't know which to 20 tHfter first. By the time she had de- rided Danny and Nanny were out side. Danny had run straight out the hole by which they had entered. Nanny had discovered little, small hole just big enough for her to squeeze through and she had gone out that. Danny had come out at the end of the porch. Nanny had come out at the side of the porch, So it was that neither could sec the other and neither knew what had become of the other There was no timt 10 look for each other. Of course, Black Pussy hadn't been able 10 follow Nanny because that hole was so tiny; so she had gone after Danny. Danny naturally had no time 10 think of anything but his own safety. He headed right straight for Ftrmer Browns hem yard.
 Now the legs of Danny Meadow Mouse are short, but they can move very fast for q short distance. They moved now. Never had they moved faster. But fast as they moved I fear they would not have taken Danny to safety had 1t not been that Bow ser the Hound just happened to get it Black Pussy's way. This stopped her for a moment or two and Dan- ny reached the henyard. Of course, he had no trouble at all In slipping through the wire netting. But Black Pussy couldn't do that. Of course not. Danny darted across the hen yard and popped right in at the It, tle door left open for the hens to go in and out, Once more Danny Meadow Mouse had been lucky. But he and Nanny were separated.

 It took Barbara some time to as- semblc and pack her clothes. When she was ready 10 leave the room, it was nearly ' o'clock.
 The orchestra was playing when she entered tho dining room. and the hum of voices over the tables was broken by occasional pcals of laughter. Barbara found table in the center of the cafe and sat down, looking about her,
 The room was pleasantly full of diners. Barbara ordered q hearty dinner and sat back 10 watch the people. The orchestra shifted from it's frenzy of SaXOphone and oboe to d mutcd Strauss waltz.
 Barbara ate lcisureIy.
 When she checked out and sent bcllboy for a cab, there was just time to make the 9.o'clock bus.

Madge Faces a Peculiar Situation
 For an amazed second or two doubted the evidence of my own ears. Surely this could not be Edith Fairfax who was so calmly and inn pudently telling me that nlcky needed the space afforded hy the apartment which she was showing mo, She might have been hls mother or sister or-I did not carry the comparison farther. but girdcd myself for the subtle combat l fear cd l would have to enter.

This sec ond room had walls and ceilings of carVel and panelod wood, and Edith laughel aloud at the growing be- wilderment Tn my face.
 "The answer 10 the riddle is very simple" she said. "The people who ordinarily want apartments of this size want modern expensive ones, and the people in more moderate circumstances want up-to-date small CT ones which can be kept clean with the minimum of trouble.

 Barbara walked slowly at first stepping carefully to avoid puddlcs and broken payemenis But as sh, entered the heart of the blackness she began to walk more rapidly There was q long stretch of road without houses and hore she almos, ran, her heart pounding painfully her footsteps resounding against the stiffness.
 Al last lenscr shadow indicated the spot where the first house stood, and Barbara lessened her pace. Here and there a dimly light cd window stood out against the gloom. for the most part, the street ! had put out it's lights and gone to | bed.
 Barbara opened the gate at her mothers home with eager hands and lifted her eyes to the door. Here, at least, there was light but | II shone strangely red, through the glass panels at the sides of the door.
 Barbara ran up the crcaking wooden steps and searched for the bell. Despite it's silence of the after noon, this time it rang. with a loud jangle that made her start back.
 When nobody came. she did not ring 1t again, but knocked some- what faintly on the door At last she heard the same numbering foot steps that had heraldcd the landlady that afternoon. The door swung wide, and Barbara saw the hall.
 A scarlet glass bulb on the cen- tral chandelier cast a light that was the color of blood over the entire hall.
 In one corner. it shonc ruddily upon q leaning hatstand and was caught up more vividly still in the mirror at the top. The torn rug was q pattern in varying shades of mur- ky red. and the staircase rose out of scarlet shadows 10 a landing, turned and disappeared in gloom.
 The woman had begun to climb the stairs, and now turned back 10 look at Barbara again as Barbara moved to follow her.
 In the upper hall Barbara again stopped. Here a dim light burned in an unshaded bulb. In one corner of the hall lay pile of broken fur niture. A laundry bag hung on the door of the room that Barbara mother had used for sewing room.
 The landlady led the way to the door of Barbara's room, but the girl followed slowly. The room was dark, and the woman stumbled forward.
 "Ouch! drat them rockers" she cried, as Barbara heard the impact of her shins against a chair. "I never can find the switch in this roon,." The faint light from the hall show ed her stopping over rubbing her shins. And if there's a chair any where Minnie Crumpett's shins wll find it,
 Barbara stepped to the wall and pressed the light button. The room was ablaze with electricity.
 IL shone on the startled face of the landlady. "For Gawd's sake" she cried. "how did you know where that hellish button was? If that don't beat all!"
 Barbara stammered a moment They're usually In some such posi-. lion as that" she said, quietly.

CLEARING THE VACANT. LOT

Attention is here called to the vacant lot OPP
posite the First Methodist church, at the corner
of Smonton and Eaton streets. It has been cleared
off nicely and puts forth very neat and almost an
attractive appearance.
citizen was heard to remark that If that lot
offered for sale it would bring at least third
more money in its present condition that it could
have been sold for before it was put in such fine
shape.
The work of cleaning up this lot cost very
little indeed yet It adds materially to the appear
ance of the city and enhances the value of the
property in small degree.
Workers along city beautiful and sanitation
lines would do well to point TO this lot as an ex-
ample. There are hundreds of other places in the
city that could be improved the same way and with
the same pleasing result
