Haven't you ever said, "Oh, feel

mother cries: 'Oh, what is the matter

1t is wise mother who takes into
account that children feel just as
irritable as grown-ups when the tenn

know what is the matter with them,
but if they play hard. then they are
inclined to cry IL something goes

mother who does not try to keep her
household running in the same perfect
manner which was quite possible In
away all but the most necessary
objects, keep the house so plain and
unadorned that busting and cleaning
is reduced to the minimum. The very
sight of ornaments, which will get

CHAPTER XLV.
The Traffic MoVes On.

Jill leaned forward slightly. She
felt suddenly exhilaratel. and the
smile that parted her lips was very
real.
Tony was .lad that she could smile
mt him that way. He felt. that he
didn't deserve it, but he smiled back
and lifted his HIT.
The traffic started to move, and
Tony was lost II view. Jill .eaned
back with a smile still curying her
/ lips.

suddenly.

You gave him a very sweet smile. -
Jill laughed. Why not? 1 used TO

mind to be very restrained and digni-

His hands reacnad suddenly for

Jill did not try to withdraw her

the fact that l don't love you"
How do you know you dont?"
Jill sighed inwardly. How did she
know-when just casual smile from
Tony Mcclure had the power to stir
her pulses and make her heart leap?
The taxi rocked over a piece of bad
pavement and iostled her against
Hector. He would have put his arm
around her. but she drew back.

Hector couldn't reply to her re-

arriving at the restaurant Tonight

and had chosen an expensive French
place in the 40s. He helped her out

he studied Jill. He did want her so

then he picked up just the faintest bit
of scent of Mrs. Coyote. Up through
the Old Pasture he worked. AS he
came around bend in one of the cow
paths there sat Old Man Coyote grin
ming at him. Yes, sir, Old Man Coyote
sat there right in the middle of the
path, grinning at him. The hair on
the neck and shoulders Of Bowser the
Hound began To rise. He growled. 1t
was a deep and ugly-sounding growl
away down in his throat. He forgot
all about what he was trying to find
out. He leaped forward at Old Man
Coyote. Old Man Coyote waited just
a moment. then turned and darted off
along a little side cowpath.. He still
remained in sight. In fact. he was
only few feet ahead of Bowser. Bow
ser plunged on after him and sent his
great voice rolling down across the
Green Meadows and over the Green
Forest. All the time Old Man Coyote
was grinning slyly' to himself. For
the time being Bowser had forgotten
everything excepting that he had just
in front of him that prairie wolf called
Old Man Coyote, whom he had so long
tried to catch.

Investigating the next day. You see.
during the day he was not tied up.
! So the next morning, after he had
had his breakfast, Bowser watched for
an opportunity when Farmer Brown S
Boy was not around and slipped
away down on the Green Mea-
dows. For some time he ran this way
and he ran that way with his nose TO
the ground. Al last, over where the
Green Meadows join the Old Pasture,
that wonderful nose OF his found what
he had been searching for.
Bowser lifted his head and gave Just
one joyous bark. He just had to. You
see. his nose had been tickled by the
faint scent of that strange coyote he
had seen the night before. Then Bow
ser settled right down to business. he
snuffed and he snuffed and he snuffed
and he shifted as he worked back and
forth from side to side trying TO f1nd
that trail left by Mrs. Coyote. You
see il was 50 many hours since she
had been along there that that scent
had very largely disappeared. But now

Presently he stopped and took a long

again. But he didn't. You see, that
scent was no longer the scent OF Mrs.
Coyote. He recognized that scent in

The only RIGHT soap for you

those wise in beauty culture warn
against touching the face with any

For today the important rule IN
keeping skin clean and pores open

complexion soap. One made pri-

too harsh for the skin.
