BEDTIME STORIES

being king Of the animal world. The
truth is, neither of them is king over
the Elephant folk"
But / don't know who Simba the
Lion is" said Peter. "I have never
seen him on the Green Meadows or in
the Green Forest"
My Lord the Elephant, chuckled.
NO" said he, "I don't think you
have and / don't think you ever will.
and 1 don't think you will ever want
to. Like the rest of us, he comes from
a far-away land. Did you hear ter
rible noise like mighty thunder last
night?''
Peter shivered.
81 should say I did" said he.
Everybody on the Green Meadows
and in the Green Forest heard 1T, and
everybody was afraid. Reddy Fox and
Old Man Coyote were SO afraid that
they did no hunting"
That was the voice of Simba the
Lion" said Ny Lord the Elephant.
Between us, / think that 1t is that
great voice that has done much to
give him the name of being the king.
He scares people with his great voice
so that only Striped Coat the Tiger
and the Elephant folk dare face him. "
"If he is so terrible, what is he
doing here? Is he a prisoner, too?'
Peter asked.
My Lord the Elephant nodded.
Yes" said he, "Simba is prisoner,
too. You see, he was taken when he
was very small. All his life he has
lived behind iron bars. He is over
yonder on the other side of the tent,
and not far from him is Striped Coat.
He also was taken when very small.
He has never known what 1t is to run
free liz the jungle. Hold on, Long
ears, where are you going now?"
I'm going over to look at Striped
Coat" replied Peter, and hoped away
across the tent.
BY this time Peter had discovered
that all those wagons in that tent
were really cages on wheels. AS he
drew near to one of these he saw a
great animal walking back and forth,
back and forth, and continually look
ing out through the bars. Peter knew
who it was without being told. You
see, his coat was striped yellow and
black. He was looking at Striped Coat
the Tiger. If Peter had been fright
ened when he first looked at My Lord
the Elephant, he was more frightened
now. Although Striped Coat was be-
hind great iron bars, he looked so
fierce that the mere sight Of him was
fearsome. When he saw Peter, Striped
Coat stopped walking back and forth
and glared down at Peter with such a
hungry look that Peter turned and
ran. He ran without hooking to see
where he was running, and that is a
dangerous thing to do at any time, but
particularly in a strange place.

CHAPTER I.
Jill.

Her real name was Constance, but
instead Of calling her Connie, which
would have been the logical nickname,
some clever person, perhaps one of
the girls in the Office, nicknamed her
Jill.
Perhaps it was because she was
always in hot water.
In the nursery rhyme it never stipu.
lated whether the water was hot or
cold. OF course, Jack ana Jill went
up the hill to fetch it, but it might
have been hot water.
Well, Constance Anderson, or Jill,
as she will be known in this story,
was at any rate always in hot water.
She had a fatal quality about her
that attracted men.
In the office of Simpson & Ham
mond, where she was secretary to Mr..
Simpson, the senior member of the
firm, in spite of this dangerous quail
ity, she was very generally liked. Per-
haps it might be better to say that she
was admired. The girls did stand
somewhat in awe of her.
She had two outstanding qualities
In addition to her looks.
She could at one moment be the
most appealing feminine person in the
world and in the next affect an air
OF cool independence.
There was an air of quiet self
surance about her. She dressed well,
but very simply. Compared with the
clothes OF the other girls, her own
were often far less expensive. But
she affected black or dark blue with
sheer organdie collar and cuffs. They
made her look like the traditional
secretary of fiction. Her eyes had a
disarming quality. She would look up
and then look down very quickly. Any
man who talked to her casually
wanted her to look at him again.
AS matter of fact, Constance, or
Jill, had come down to New York
from upstate. In sense, her par
ents had been unwilling to have her
leave them. Perhaps her mother real
lied the difference between her and
her elder sister, Nan, and in some
way recognized the quality that Jill
undoubtedly possessed.
Nan was phlegmatic, easy-going.

heels that give the impression at first
glance of shoes cut with upward ex.
tensions at the back. These black
heels tend to make the ankles look
more slender. They accentuate the
tilt of the foot in high-heeled shoes,
emphasizing the perpendicular line of
the side of the pump or slipper. When
these black heels are cut in a slender,
tapering point they do even more to
make ankles appear slender. The
woman with ankles that are not quite
slender enough to suit her taste should
bear in mind this fact.
There are stockings of light pastel
shades with heels made of a deeper
shade of the same color, and these will
doubtless come into increasing favor
as the season advances. Thus If you
wear a rose-colored frock, you may
select pinky y.flesh-colored stockings
with rose-colored heels. AS usual
thing it is well to have the dark heels
match the shoes. Thus flesh or beige
stockings with black heels should al
ways be worn with black shoes.
One of the most interesting pairs of
stockings seen recently showed one
stocking made with a round about
clock on one leg only. This was in
openwork to suggest the outlines of an
anklet.

THE important point to the mod

That means a true complexion

Above them, airy high, blue-vauted ceiling
With chandeliered sun, and stars for its light

Builds huts and dark novels in unsightly places
Within, is discomfort; without all is dreary:
