1t was like.
Presently Farmer Browns Boy got ur

Toad to enjoy his feast on ants. Hardly
had he vanished from sight when a
shrill voice said:
Hello, Cousinl I thought you were

Old Mr.. Toad swallowed one more
ant Then he looked UP on the stump
which was close by, an old gray stump
There, clinging to the side of the gray
stump. was a small person all in gray
and the small person looked great deal
like small edition Of Old Mr. Toad

YOU got to do for Farmer Brown?"
We'll, you see," replied Old Mr.. Toad.
there are great many worms and
bugs In Farmer Browns garden that
would spoil the green things growing
there II it were not for me. OF course,
I don't mean to say that I get all of
them, but I certainly do help. Why
don't you come on up?"
Are there any trees in that garden?"
inquired Stickytoes.
NO replied Old Mr. Toad. there
are no trees in the garden, but the Old
Orchard is right close by. That would
be a very nice place for you to live.
And then there are some very nice trees
in Farmer Browns dooryard. BY the
way, what is the idea Of living in a

do you do it2"

That good for me is not for you,
And the reverse is often true.

Old Mr. Toad was having a feast. He
felt like having feast. You see, he
had been down in the Smiling Pool a
long time, and while he was there he
had eaten nothing. So now that he
had q chance to I'LL his stomach with
those ants, he intended TO make the
most of it. Cubby Bear had been fright
ened away by Farmer Browns Boy. So
had yellow Wing the Flicker. But Old
Mr. Toad did not fear Farmer Browns
Boy. They were the best OF friends.
They have always been the best of

isn't he the handsomest ever2 Ev-
cry girl in the office has fallen for
him with a thud."
Lynda stopped still in amazement.
What do You mean, fallen'?" she
asked.
Look here, Miss Innocence. Don't
pull that stuff on liz Emily. Just
wait until the next time David walks
through the office and you'll see
every girl in the place lamp him. He
gets more attention, from everybody
but me, than ever Armi himself. On,
| don't NEAR to say that I'm not as
sweet on him as the rest, but liz
Emily knows her cream pie. I've
been in that office about two years,
and I've learned a thing or two not
handed out in school. and one of
them Is, if a fellow thinks you are
chasing him, he'll run like u rabbit;
so I've been most Ritzy, old dear,
most R-I-T-Z-Y- I'm glad to say that
up to date virtue has been reward
ed. I'm the only girl that Mister
Dayie has paid any attention to what
ever"
BY this time Emily had managed
70 pull Lynda to the entrance of the
drug store, and they met David COM
ing out. Lynda was for h~urrying on,
but Emily stopped.
Hello" David called happily.
I'm glad you've already made the
acquaintance of the incest girl at
Armitage's, Lynda"
For the rest of her life Lynda Fen
ton would remember her wonder At
the sharp little twinge Of pain at her
heart when she heard David say this.
IL was like nothing she had ever ex-
perienced before.
David Kenmore, you're sheiking
again." remarked Emily, dimpling.
II knew Lynda was the sort I'd like
the minute she Joined the force, so
spoke TO her right away. She tells
me she doesn't eat lunch, but I've
been telling her she needn't be care
ful Of her diet yet. She has a more
boyish figure now than the boys
themselves"
David understood right away that
Lynda was not eating because she
had no money.
Come, giris. I'll stake you. I was
just looking for Miss Andrews to
ask her to lunch"
He could have choked himself
when he saw Lynda's expression.
After a frigid silence, in which
Lynda was sure that she could not
have made her tongue behave IL she
had tried to speak, she managed to
say:
Thanks, but I've just told Miss
Andrews that / do not eat luncheon.
I'll leave you now and get back to
the office. / have to work a little
longer to catch up. as I'm a new be-
ginner, you know"
She marched off with her head in
the air, and David went into the
drug store with Emily Andrews,

Somehow she did not seem rs fasci-

The little. sleek, black head Of
Lynda seemed much more beautiful

II don't think that Emily could
teach Lynda much" Dacid kept
thinking, as he walked back Of Emily
into the drug store, and as she sat
down at the table he decided that he
liked Lyndais straightforward sin
cerity much more than he did Emily's
sophistication.
He wished he didn't remember how
little Lynda usually ate in the morn

lied that in her pride she would not
accept a luncheon from him II she
knew she couldn't pay for IL.
