"Of course, looking at the car was

He looked at me in open-mouthed

Madge Warns Noel Not to Feed
Mary'S Vanity

Mary Harrison never had looked
SO attractive as she did when she
uttered her defiance to Noel Veritzen
upon the subject of the young man
with the wolfhound whose admira-
ton Of her had SO disturbed the
young violinist. With her slender
rounded arms akimbo in burlesqued
imitation of a scolding fishyife. with
her lovely head cooked little to one
side and her laughing mutinous eyes
fixed upon his she was picture cal
culated to make any youth with red
blood in his veins experience the
wild desire to shake her soundly and
then kiss her with equal fervor.
The desire for both actions was
openly mirrored in Noels expressive
countenance. 1t appeared to me that
a diversion of any sort would be wise
and l promptly supplied it.
This academic discussion is all
very we'll" / laughed, but it isn't
getting us anywhere, Noel, would
you mind giving look at the car?
Mary, l think you'd better get your
motor coat. It's pretty dusty on the
road"
q. Mary dropped me a curtsey, her
finger to her chin, in the manner of
bashful kindergarten youngster.

Patchogue-out-o' here and stop your
foolishness," she said impudently.
An right, I'll be good, sweet dear,
little Victorian damsel all the rest of
the day. II even hear the name Of
that naughty young man with the
wolfhound. I'll cover my face"
She danced out of the room, and
when she had gone Noel gave a sigh
which appeared to have its source in
his heels, and which made it difficult
for me to preserve a straight face.

A great many people receive blows
on the head and apparently recover

have no further disturbances.
1t Is safe to say. however. that
headache, dizziness. irritability. ia

of sleep after severe blow on the

the brain and the person must be
treated accordingly.

But the spell of the moon and the

That night after he was gone,
Sally heard her sobbing to herself
in her room.

Mother Browns Pantry
By Thornton W. Burgess
Blessed be good-natured folk
Who never fail to see joke
Farmer Browns Boy.


> Farmer Browns Boy
What Mother Brown saw when
she pushed open her pantry door
robbed her for the moment of all
power, of speech. In fact, for a
moment or two she was actually IN
doubt as to what she really did see.
The -four barrel was tipped over.
sour milk was all over everything,
there were broken dishes scattered
here and there, and in the midst of
1t all was the strangest creature she
had ever seen. What it was she
didn't know. She actually didn't
know what it was. But that it was
alive was very evident
A moment after she had pushed
that door open. it had bolted
straight for the kitchen. Mother
Brown shriehed and jumped to one
side as this strange creature pushed
past her, out the kitchen door. out
the back door. and disappeared
around back of the house. BY that
time Mother Brown had recovered
from her surprise sufficiently to do
a little thinking. My stars" she
exclaimed. II do believe that that
was that Bear cub" She caught up
, the broom and rushed outdoors
She was just in time to see Cubby,
for, of course, that is who it was,
shining up tree. He kept right
on until he was as high as he could
get. And such a looking sight as he
was! Mother Brown Just stood and
laughed until her sides shook Yes,
sir, she had to laugh. Never was
such funny looking young bear
seen before.
!. What happened was this. When
Cubby. climbing upon the pantry
shelf, had reached up and hooked
his claws over the pan of sour milk
with which Mother Brown had plan
ned to make cookies, he had upset
that pan of milk right over him.
That whole pan of sour milk had
gone right over Cubby. In his sur
price he had let go and dropped and
he had dropped right into the flour
Darrell. Now, Cubbyp was not only
surprised, but he was greatly
frightened. Of course, he instantly
began to kick and struggle in that
barrel of flour and in a moment he
mad upset it. He was half-smother-
ed with flour. And of course being
covered with milk. the flour made a
sticky paste all over him. He was
IN terrible mess and he knew it.

Recently 100 case of persons who

READ THIS FIRST:
Sally Jerome, pretty and clever, is
the mainstay of her family in the
absence Il her father. who does not
live with her mother. Mrs. Jerome
enjoys i'll health, SO Sally does the
housework mornings and office
work for Mr.. Peevey afternoons.
Beau and Mile, her sister and
brother, give almost nothing to help
her support the home.
In the flat below the Jeromes
lives Ted Sloan, 'dancin' fool
who wants Sally to marry him and
keep on working. But the only man
who interests her is John Nye,
whose real estate office is across the
hall from Mr.. Peevey's. Millie is
his secretary and he becomes in
fatuated with her. Mile, however,
prefers a bond salesman named
Davidson. Davidson is secretly in
love with Sally, and Mile is jeal-
Gus of her.
But when Mile becomes i'll with
appendicitis it is John Nye who pays
for her room at the hospital and
sends her flowers. During this time
Sally works for John Nye and later
when Mr.. Peevey retires from bust
ness Nye offers Sally permanent
place in his office. But she refuses
it and goes into the wayside inn
business with her Aunt Emily Je-
rome.
Beau marries Mabel Wilmot, and
he and all the rest of the family
move out to the inn, although Aunt
Emily protests against their coming.
Sally, who is kept busy paying off
the money Beau "borrows" from
the bank where he works. regrets
their coming, too, although she is
glad to have her mother where she
can look after her.
The wayside inn business does not
thrive, and finally Aunt EN- hires
jazz band, and Sally puts on n
dainty little "shimmy" dance. The
combination makes a hit, and the
business pops up" John Nye
comes one day to ask Sally to work
for him once more, but Sally re-
fuses again. Mile has told her that
John Nye laughed about ali the ex-
ira Jobs she did for him and she
believes Mile. She decided to for
get him and asks Ted Sloan to stay
to supper with her and Mile and
Davidson one Saturday night.

CHAPTER I

The dinner guests who filled
Aunt Ems brigntly-lighted room.
that Saturday night had a rare
treat.
For not only did Sally and Ted
dance three times-and they were
really good-but Davy Davidson got
up and sang some Of the songs
made famous by Nick Lucas. Like
most Welshmen, he had beauti-
tul, deep voice. and some of the
more sentimental diners who had
TASKS concealed in their hip pock-
cts or under the edge of the table
cloth had tears in their eyes when
he finally sat down.
The last song he sang was the
song that Sally had heard John
Nye whistling on that day nearly a
year ago when she had noticed him
for the first High-high-
high, up on the hill"
Her deep, shadowy eyes were
Wistful as she watched him come
back TO the little table in the private
dining room. So wistful that Davy
who couldn't believe that she
wasn't in love with him--was sure
of it at last.
He reached for her hand under
the table, and Sally thrust his VIC
lently away from her and got up.
Come on, Ted, let's go out and
get breath of air." she said to her
red-headed dancing partner. who
was just beginning his dessert of
cherry pie.
He sprang up. and together they
went out into the cool, darby green
depths of Aunt Ems garden.
But Sally knew every inch Of the
place by heart and she found some
straw cushions in the backyard
where she and Aunt En- had sat
doing their weekly mending that
morning.
Il can't stand that Davidson
man." said Sally with a shudder as
they sat down. She put her head
back against the trunk of the old
willow tree behind her, and looked
up at the moon.
Instantly she felt Teds arm going
around her shoulders, and he edged
closer TO her along the grass.
Hands Off" said Sally, crisply.
II didn't come out here to neck,
Ted"
But plainly Ted had thought
hopefully that that was exactly
what she had come for. In
his simple and short experience that
was what girls usually left a bright
ly-lighted place and went out into
the darkness with a man for. AS
usual Sally baffled him by not do
