LITTLE BENNY
BY LEE PAPE.

We was having 1angwidge in skool
today, Miss Kitty saying, Now you all
understand wat verbs are, does eny-
one in the class know wat an adverb
is?
Lorrence Hopper raising his hand
and saying, A adverb is a verb added
on to another verb, making a add
verb.
Very logical but Extremely foolish,
Miss Kitty sed. An adverb is a word
that modifies verb and Expresses
manner, or in other words, how. Now
Ill give you a sentents, The herd flew,
and l wunt someone to finish the SEN
tents with an adverb, she sed.
WITCH pritty soon, Leroy Shootster
waved his hand, saying, The berd flew
on the 4th of July.
don't doubt it. but how? Miss
Kitty sed.
With its wings, Leroy Shooster sed.
How rediculiss, 1 will ask Sidney
Hunt to finish the sentents with an
adverb, Miss Kitty sed.
The same sentents? Sid Hunt sed.
Certeny, Miss Kitty sed, and Sid

Wat? Miss Kitty sed, and Sid sed,
The berd flew up.
OF course 1t did, naturally, but how?

CHAPTER XXI.
The Next Morning.

Jessica must have had the thing
on her mind subconsciously, for she
awoke the next morning quite early
and with the knowledge that If she
wanted her daily bath she would have
to go to the stream for it. She didn't
relish the idea particularly, and yet it
wasn't exactly obnoxious to her either.
Rather thrilling to think of bathing
in a cold mountain stream early in
the morning. She wondered how 1t
would feel.
Cautiously she opened her bedroom
door and stole across the living room.
She did not put on her shoes until she
had reached the porch, and then she
sat there on the steps for a moment
or two enraptured with the beauty of
the morning.
1t was lovely! The sky was all
streaked with pink and saffron, birds
were chirruping in the trees. 1t was
cool and yet not too cool. OF course,
the steram would probably be freez-
ing, but then she would have to brave
it. She carried a. towel and a. cake of
soap. Terrible to have to pollute that
lovely stream with soap, but she
couldn't think of taking bath with
out IT,
AT the edge of the stream she
dropped her cape and with an expert
mental foot tried the water. 1t was
icy. Never in her life had she expert
enced anything so cold. But she was
game. The next moment she had
dashed some of the water over her,
and after that it wasn't so hard. When
she emerged her skin was tingling all
over, and once more she was starv-
ingly hungry.
Wrapped in her cape she returned
to the house and encountered Mrs.
Morse setting the table for breakfast.
Mrs. Morse smiled disarmingly. and
after q second or two Jessica smiled
back. After all it wasn't her fault.
She was only a pawn in Marks little
game, SO why blame her?
You've been out to the stream,
haven't your"
Jessica nodded, and Mrs. Morse
shook her head.
''I't too cold for me. l do my bath
ing with hot water heated on the oil
stove. Whenever you want some just
let me know
Thank you,' .Jessica returned
sweetly. ''I'll remember that But
didn't mind 1t so much"
That's because you're young and
get a quick reaction. Wen, you re
probably. hungry after your bath. I'll
hurry with breakfast
A great deal of Jessica's antagonism
had died in the night, certainly enough
of it to make it impossible for her to
refuse breakfast. And, after all, why
should she starve herself? The

haven't seen it. Now, what was tl1at?"
Peter sat up very straight and
very hard. He had seen something
moving on the end of an old log. At
the moment there wasn't breath of
air. If there had been, Peter would
have thought that what he had seen
was the f1uttering of an old, dead leaf.
But a leaf couldn't move without a
Merry Little Breeze to move it.
So Peter stared. And as he stared
his eyes grew bigger and bigger

thought of bacon and eggs was too
ravishing for words. While she was
dressing her mouth faily watered at
the prospect.
1t was amusing to dress herself in
the khaki trousers and one of the
white shirts. She belted in her slim
waist and stood regarding herself in
the mirror. Then, anonymously. she
went for her handbag and drew out
her supply of makeup. One powder
compact and the same Of rouge. One
lipstick and a tiny atomiZer filled with
French perfume. An onyx and gold
cigarette case, minus cigarettes; a
small box of wax matches, and
cdumpled handkerchief.
With great industriousness. she
powdered her face. She used her
compact only when she was out some
where. At home she first applied cold
cream and after that loose powder.
Then she applied rouge and lipstick,
and, dearest of all, mascara. She had
often said that she would rather go
out into the world minus anything
but her mascara. But she was forced
to face the day without it.
At last she was ready, and the smell
of sizzling bacon drew her out to the
living room. Mark was standing by
the window. He wheeled around as
she entered and smiled.
"Hellov'
"Hello!' she returned laconically.
After all, it was silly to treat him like
an enemy. He thought he had a
chance to put this thing over and she
might as well let him believe it. In
the meantime, she could be thinking OF
a plan OF escape. Besides. by treating
him civilly she had a good chance to
get even with him. He would expect
her to bear g. grudge against him, and
instead she would behave as though
she had accepted the situation. She
rather liked the idea of disaI1ning him.

is the best time to look for Shoot
ing stars"
During this month the Perseids or
August meteors put on their annual
display. 1t will not be brilliant
spectacle, but if the sky is watched
attentively for a few minutes on a
clear evening when the moon is not
too. bright one or several Perseids
will probably appear.
Meteors are stony and metallic
fragments of unknown origin. Most
Of them are no larger than the
head of a pin. They travel in great
swarms around the sun in elongated
orbits like those of comets.
| Ordinarily they are invisible. But
! whenever a swarm encounters the
earth the meteors plunge downward
/ through our atmosphere, are heated
| intensely by friction with it and are
consumed by their own fury before
they can reach the ground. Each
| luminous streak that we call a
! shooting star marks the annihllatlon
of celestial bullet.
Protected as we are by the at
/ mosphere, we do not often think of
the deadly bombardment going on
overhead. At least 100000 mete-
ors collide with the earth every day,
striking with the average speed of
| &c miles a second. Imaginative
authors who write of voyages to the
moon often fail to take into account
this hazard to any expedition outside
the protecting blanket of our at
mosphere.
The Perseids which appear In
August are so named because they
seem to come from point in the
constellation Perseus. 1t is an IL
fusion. Just as the rails of track
appear to converge in the distance.
so the meteors apparently radiate
from a point Actually they move
i in parallel paths.
Perseus rises in the northeast at
1 p. m. on August 1 at 10 o'clock
on the / 5th and at near the end
of the month. This constellation
appears in the Milky Way as a
great arrow of stars pointing up
ward to Cassiopeia's Chair. Its
most notable star is Algol, the
winking Demon Star.
The path of the August meteors
is long ellipse which stretches
from the earth's orbit far out be-
yond the planet Neptune. The
members of the swarm are well
scattered around the orbit. Con-
