NlEs' AbSuuy OAhASS ->S"S
 (By Thornton w. Burgess) Luck is good or bad to you According to the point of view.
 Old Mother Nature.
 Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy sepa- rated. Reddy going out on the Green Meadows to look for meadow mice and Mrs. Reddy working along the woodmice. Both were gone all night It was just as jolly. round Mir. Sun started his daily climb up into the Blue. Blue Sky that Reddy reached his own doorstep in the Old Pasture. He had had fairly good hunting and he was ready for . nap.
 Mrs. Raddy grinned when she saw how sleepy Reddy looked. '1'll wake him up." said she to herself. Then she spoke to Reddy. Did you have good hunting, my dear?" she asked sweetly.
 Reddy nodded. Fairly good" !" said he. T got enough. and. after all, what more can one want? What luck did you have? It must have been good. for notice you got home ahead of me-"
 T had good luck at first and then ! had bad luck" said Mrs. Reddy.
 What do you mean by bad luck 9" demanded Reddy.
 T mean," said Mrs. Reddy slowly. "that some one spoiled my hunting"
 "Who?" asked Reddy very blunt ly, as he stared at Mrs. Reddy.
 The little dog whose footprints you saw this morning" replied Mrs. Reddy mischievously.
 T knew 1t was dog all the time" declared Reddy.
 Did you?" said Mrs. Reddy sweetly. That's interesting. Be- cause. you see. it wasn't really dog at all."
 Reddy stared very hard at Mrs. Reddy. If 1t wasn't a dog, who was it?" he demanded.
 Tt was Coyote" whispered Mrs. Neddy.
 Reddy jumper as if a thorn had been stuck in him. "Old Man Coyote?" he asked.
 Mrs Reddy shook her head. "No," said she. 1t wasn't Old Man Coyote. It was Miss Coyote"
 Reddy blinked very hard and stared at Mrs. Reddy to make sure that she wasn't fooling. Then" said he, there are two coyotes in- stead of one here"
 Now how did you figure that cut?" inquired Mrs. Reddy sweetly
 "Is she as big as Old Man Coy ote7" Reddy inquired.
 Mrs. Reddy shook her head. No" said she.
 Where did she come from 2" de- manded Reddy.
 T didn't ask her. replied Mrs. Reddy.
 Why not?" Reddv inquired.
 Mrs. Reddy gave Reddy one good look. Didn't l say that some one spoiled my hunting Isn't that SHcuEH. MISS ' OEole may nor De as big az Old Man Coyote. but she's bigger than either of us, and she certainly is quite able 10 take care of herself. I didn't ask any Gues- tions"
 What did you do?" inquired Eeddy.
 ''I came home" said Mrs. Rcddy.  Copyright, 1927. by T. W. Rurgess) The next story; Miss Coyote Is Shy"

What Has Happened

"ldt nds nupptueu | The entrance of America into the World War, finds Phillip Wynne Tracy " suffering from the collapse of his first passionate love affair ! Before this. he and M lee Jones, who was the daughter of the Tracys' milkman, had had a childish engag- ment which was objected to by both Mrs Tracy and Mir. Jones.
 Phillip becomes interested in Lyra Hilliard. an old friend of his moth- er's.
 The whole affair, however. sinks into nolhinSness because war is de- clared.
 Rod and Phil are the first 10 en- list. Natlce goes to the depot to see them oit and in her anxiety to see Phil she ignores Rod entirely. This nearly breaks his h, art.
 Phillip finds he must leave for the southern training camp before see- ing his mother again. Here he has a most unusual experience with a nameless girl. He gets detailed to kitchen police and his passes re- voked.
 On an impulse of pity, Phil pro- poses marriage to the nameless girl.
 Here the story luther unfolds-
 CHAPTER XXX1l
 Phil Bids Goodbye To Gladys
 All the ne& day Phil vas as ner- Nous as cat.
 IL seemed to him as though he had never seen so many teicgrams de- livcred to other men in the outfit since he had been at Fort Bliss. Marta and her mother c,me up for parade, but Lieutenant Andrews ar ranged matters in such . way that he did not get chance to speak to them.
 Marta. however. managed to con- vey to him that the Lieutenant was not making hit with her, even while he was escorting .nam to thefr car.
 /. It was then that Phil received two telegrams and smiled fc.' the first time that day. He realized that Andrews was doing him a favor by taking Marta and her mtther away just at that moment. r. was not punishment to give him {. chance to read his anxiously await q message from his mother.
 One. of course, was the request that he call at the office and receive a sum of money from some one that he should name. The other was a day letter which almost made him decide not to call for it. his mother had wired;
 What is the matter sona Are you in great trouble? I cannot un- derstand why you should want such a large sum of money as your al lowance has been sent you every week. l requested the Trust Con- pany to send 1t weekly instead of monthly. the day after you went away. Do you want me to come down? l am greatly worried. l have also wired Rod asking him if you were all right. At first I had deter mined to get on the train and go to you. but Major Aukland said he thought it would be much better to let you work it out yourself. He ad- vised me 10 send you the money and say nothing, but l cannot refrain from telling you that if you need me will start on the next train. Your loving and much worried
 Mother"
 The moment he read :his wire, he hurried out to find Rod.
 T was hunting for you Wynne." he said. T have just had wire

KERENSkY IS AGAIN
 PUBLICLY SLAPPEl
Former Captain of Car Ad-
 ministers lndignity

Chicago, April 25.-tPt-A formel officer 0. the imperial Russian arm last night publicly slapped the fac O. Alexander Kerensky. first sue cessor of the czars, I, was the sec ond Incident of the kind sine kerensky arrived in this country.
 The insult, stinging blow wit the right palm, was administered Kerensky strode into q banquo room at the Palmer House in Whic were gathered several hundred me O. Russian birth in sympathy wi his efforts to wrest control of Ku sia from the soviet government.
 That" said Dr, Boris Gregor Telosnitsky as he slapped the one time prcmiers face, lis for what you did to the officers of the Rus sian army"
 AS the sound Of the blow was heard, the banquet guests sprang to their feet and rushed forward Serge Busch, who was with Dr. Telesnitsky, leaped 10 his friends side. Fists flew. and there were angry cries in the Russian tongue.
 The head waiter and several of his staff fought their way to kerenskys side and seized Dr.. Telesnitsky and Busch. X detective arrived and the two men were elected from the lFtel.
 Dr. TelesnItsky thus explained his action:
 T slapped kerensky because l wanted 10 put some dignified indig- nity upon him-to insult him-in order to call public attention to what he is doing in this country. Busch, who was q lieutenant, and I, | captain in the Russian imperial ar4ny, were driven from Russia with the defeat of the White army. We said then, Russia is lost, and came 10 this country.
 We saw enough of Kerensky In Russia. He did enough harm to the country that was my country. I don't want him coming here to do things to the country that is now my country. We understand from friends in the east that Kercnsky has been crticizing the United states government. That's why slapped him."
 Mr. kerensky refused 10 prose- cute.
 Tt Is understandable but regret table that former officers Of the czarist army should have acted so,' he said.
 Dr. Telesnitsky was said 10 have lost a leg in the fighting against the Germans before the imperial government was oVerthrown. His friends said he won several decor ations for valor in action.
 Several weeks ago Kerensky was slapped by woman as he address d a meeting in New York. She declared she was avenging the death Of her sweetheart, Russian soldier.
