The scent that Jimmy Skunk uses for his own defense is very strong and to most people it is very un- pleasant. When Jimmy was forced 10 use it to save himself from Whitey the Snowy Owl, he was close to Farmer Browns house and that scent got into the house. IL was so strong that no one enjoyed he good supper Mother Brown had prepared. Farmer Brown was quite upset about it.
 That ends having those Skunks about said he grossly. i've .x- pected that something like this would happen. You better stop feed ing them now, Mother We don't want them around the house. Acci- dents are too likely to happen, and enc is plenty"
 Farmer Browns Boy looked over at his father. T don't believe Jimmy Skunk did that unless he had to-" said he. ''It isn't like him lie must have been in danger. He must have thought he was going to be hurt"
 How could he?' asked Farmer Brown, still speaking grossly. There vas no one to frichtcn him. Rowser the Hound is chained up and Black Pussy was in the house He isn't afraid of Black Pussy anyway"
 Perhaps there was strange dog that we didn't sec" vcuturcd Moth- CT Brown.
 Farmer Brown shook his head ob- stinately. 'I believe he did if just out mcanneSs," sad he
 He never has bcrore," said Farm CT Browns Boy, "Thare must hayc been reason. I know Jimmy Skunk. and you can depend on Jimmy 10 he a gentleman tuat as long as he is treated as q gentleman. Some thing happened out there tha' wo don't know about. Jimmy thought he had to use that scent Of his, or he wouldn't have used 1t. I'm go- ing out to look around"
 So Farmer Browns Roy went out side with lantern and looked in inc snow 10 see 1T he could find any strange tracks. But The sno" Was SO trodden around the doorstep that he couldn't tell whetl or there were any strange tracks or not. He was about 10 go back n'o the house when in the dusk hC saw a whit. spot over on 'he roof Of the barn.
 '1 believe Whitay has come back" said he, and going over 10 fine barn ha held his lantern l-h SO as to throw thn light up. Sure enough. i, was WhitcN but somehow Whitrv d.ln't look himself at all lfn didn't sit up as straight as fn usually afl. Tn fact. Whitey looked as if he fa, very miserable.
 Now at the time here was ri0't wind blowing. II was blowing from the barn toward tho houev. CT course it should have c1rflel away in the other direction the scent left hy Jimmy Skunk. Eut Farmer Browns Boy noticed that Jhnmy'a scont was very strong, very strong. indeed. Al first, hc didn't know what to make of if Then he noticed that the wind was blowing from where Whitey the Snowy Owl sat straight 10 him. Then Farmer Browns Boy understood. "So. that's it!" lie exclaimed with grin. You are the fellow who tried to naddlc Trl'h Jimmy Skunk. wouldn't he rou for a great deal"
 Then the face of Farmer Browns Boy sobered. Yes. sir., it sobered.

Madge's Father Tells Her of NIys
 terious Mission Abroad

Hugh Grantland's hand gave mine strong. reassurlng clasp as I asked him if he could come to see me after the next Friday, and I knew that I need worry no more about the task Of tracing the move nents Of Mrs. Baker True. I had not yet told him the service I wish ed Of him, but when had Hugh Grantland ever failed me? I could have forctold even the words with which he answered me.
 You know that l am always a- your service,' he said earnestly, yet in so low a tone that was sure my father and Lee Chow standing in earnest conversation but a few feet away, did not hear the words. How will Monday do? Your father Is going away Saturday. and I don't suppose Sunday---'
 Oh. mo-" I said hastily. furious at myself for flushing, and at him for comprehending. as I knew he could not help doing, the reason for the flush. But l knew that with Dicky at home, as he probably would be on Sunday. I could not d:s- cuss with Hugh Grantland any plans which would involve the protection Of my husbands young niece. Dicky would dismiss as utterly ab- srrd my theory concerning Mrs. Baker, and I would be compelled either to drop my investigation of her, or 10 fly directly in the face of his expressed opinion. The last course l did not wish the first, l did not dare, so ] went on swiftly from my embarrassed exclamation.
 Monday will do splcndidly." I said, reflecting that my work for hr. Feritzen upon that day did not involve any absence from home.
 What time will suit your con- venience?" he asked. Any hour IS all right for me"
 knew what that meant, that he you'd make 1t all right, no matter how f upset his own plans But l also knew that there was no use trying 10 find ont the best hour for him. so I chose my own, promptly, that he nigh. not ba de- layed.
 Ten o'clock in the morning is best for me-" l answered. And can you bring Lee Chow with you?"
 Ills eyes showed his surprise-and something else-my vanity wander

CAPITAL TO PAY
TRIBUTE TO BIG
TRAIN TUESDAY

WASHINGTON, Aug. ! P)-The Ma
tional capital will pay trlpute tomorrow
to its own hero-Walter Johnson.
Having honored an interminable pro-
cession of visiting celebrities, official
and unofficial, Washington will pub
licly extended recognition to one OF the
most famous baseball players OF all
times.
The occasion will be the twentieth
anniversary of the day that tall,
the pitching mound at the American
league park here to start a career
which has carried him to the topmost
heights OF baseball glory.
Ascending that mound again tomor-
row, johnson will face the same team,
the Detroit Tigers, but it will be the
Tigers of 20 years ago in name only
With single exception all Of those
to whom he served his binding speed
ball on that day two decades ago have
faded from the picture. The exception
is Ty Cobb, whose career as batsman
has paralleled that of Johnson as a
pitcher.
In the absence of President Coolidge,
Secretary Kellogg was invited to pre-
sent to Johnson silver service and
check the gifts of the pitchers adj
mirers in Washington and throughout
the country
President B. B. johnson, of the
American league will present to the
veteran pitcher the first distinguished
service medal ever awarded by the
American league and there will be
numerous individual gifts from friends
and admirers.
Those followers of the sport who
saw johnson pitch his first American
league game have been invited to greet
their idol just before he makes his eff
fort to turn back the Tigers, a feat
he failed to perform 90 years ago.
