made before leaving. and then
 crossing to the wastebasket, first
 took out the large crumpled pieces of blotter and laid them as'de. {, Then l dumped the contents of the
 basket upon the paper and rapidly 1 fingered them over.
 They were few in number - the strips of freshly cut new blotter l which l had seen before, a spoiled
 dress pattern, some picture postal cards from her young brothers. and two advertisements of business
 schools, Quickly I put these back in
 the basket. trying to make it look i just as it had before. and then spread the crumpled pieces of the blotter out upon the paper. They had been torn repeatedly.
 and as I tried 70 fit them together into the original form. I felt like
 the conventional sleuth in a third
 rate cinema reel. But l persisted ! and finally had them all fitted to- gether around cleanly cut cir cular hole in the center!
 l looked over the pieces on the bed, every one was accounted for.
 And there had been no pieces of the old blotter in the wastebasket - checked it's contents again to make sure.
 Someone-of course Mary - had cut that circle, no doubt to take
 out the ink-soalled portion of which she had spoken when she asked
 for the new blotter from me. But
 if that hypothesis were the true
 one, where was that inky section? I looked carefully over the edges
 of the circular hole. No trace of ink
 there. Nor could find any on the sides of the was.ebasket. Either the
 girl had been equivocating when g e
 spoke of spilling the ink on the
 blotter. or she had wadded the ink
 soaked portion of the blotter in a
 paper and carried it outside her room for disposal.
 But one thing more remained for
 me to do. With meticulous care l
 eyed the fitted pieces of blotter
 spread out on the bed before e.
 There were traces of plotted ink
 lines upon it, but so few and faint that there was nothing to be de-
 ciphered from them.

Health Hints
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBElN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association ard Of Hy-
 gcia, the Health Magazine

Proper arrangement of the schoolrcom is one Of the most im- portant factors in relation to the care Of the eyes.
 The window area should be at least one square foot for every five square feet of floor space. High buildings near the school may ob- struct tle entrance of sunlight.
 Seats should be arranged so that light falls on the desk from behind and the left. This will prevent light from being thrown directly on the chilI's face or directly re- flected into the face The light coming from the left also prevents any shadow that may be cast by the hand or arm on the writing paper for right-handed children. The walls of the schoolroom should not be d glaring white, but fare best painted a light buff color. BlackboaTds nowadays are made with dull black finish so that light is net reflected from the blackboard into the eyes.
 The school books nowadays are
 properly planned with large type and with proper spacing so that
 eyestrain is not likely to come from the use of modern textbooks Glazed papor is avoided.
 It is, of course. of the greatest 1 importance that the eyes of the child be oxarilined by competent oculist at fairly frequent intervals 1f the child does not see we'll the teacher may believe that it is stu pi1, 1rnumerahle instances arc recorded in which children began to learn well pr omptly following | hXamination Of the eyes and the ! prescribing of pro per glasses.

 Then why isn't he here now?" demanded Cubby.
 But that was something that Bobby Coon couldn't answer. He wished he could.
 Just then Cubby Bear happened to look down at the ground. Right where that old log had been there was little shallow hole in the ground. Cubby sniffed at 1t. There was the Mouse scent again. He followed it along the ground with his nose. It led straight away to- ward the little sugar-house.
 "Huh!" exclaimed Cubby in dis gust. All he had to do was dig out. He just dug right out while you were down there fishing at the Laughing Brook. If you were rot so old and tough I'd take you in place of that Mouse"

Set not your heart on anything Lest 1t but disappointment bring.
 Cubhy Bear had his mouth all made up for . fat Wood Mouse. Hobby Coon was going to show him where 1t wss. Of course, that Wood Mouse was none other than Whitefoot. Bobby had almost caught him and Whitefost had escaped by darting through . knothole into an old leg. Bobby had tried to get him out and couldn't. Then Bobby had rolled the log over. 70 that the knothols was against the ground and Whitefoot was q prisoner. Now Bobby was going to show Cubby Bear that log. You see. Cubby Bear thought that with his stout claws he might be able to tear 1t open.
 Bobby Coon led the way, shuf- fling along up from the Laughing Brock. Cubby Bear shuffled along behind him. Both of them walked fiat-feoted, which is something very few ef the httIe people who wear fur can do. Most of them walk on their toes. But B>ars and Raccoons put their whole foot down. touch- tng the heel to the ground.
 Where is this Mouse?" grumbled cubby Bear, as he noticed the di- rectton in which Bobby Coon was going.
 Tits up near the sugar-house. replied Bobby Coon.
 :. Cubby Bear said nothing, but he locked little uneasy. You see, the lsst time he was up there he had bssa badly frightened by his fa- ther. great big Buster Bear.
 .. Presently they reached the little clearing around the sugar. house. They stopped to make sure that the way was clear. Then Bobby Coon led the way to the little log in which he had left Whitefoot the Wood Mouse. It was a small log. Cubby Bear could pick it up easily. T don't rec any knothole,' said he. Its underneath" explained Bob- by. T rolled the log over"
 All ri0ht, we'll roll it back" AAid cubby Bear, and he did just that thing.
 < When the log was rolled over there was the little knothole. Cubby Bear sniffed at it. There was the fresh scent of Mouse. Yes sir, there was the fresh scent of Mouse. There certainly had been Mouse in there. Cubby Bear wasted no time.
 I'll soon get that fellow out of there" said he.
 4 He hooked his stout claws in the edge of that kno,hole. The wood vas old and somewhat decayed around the knothole. Cubby Bear pulled. He pulled and he pulled. A splinter Of wood gave way, making a crack. The scent of Mouse vas stronger. You should have seen Cubi,y 60 to work then. He hooked his claw in that crack and tusged and pulled and ripped out another big splinter. Bobby Coon sat close by watching. To tell the truth. Bobby was hoping that Whitefoot would jump out and try to run away. If he did Bobby Coon in tended to have Whitefoot for him. self
 Cubby Bear grunted and tueged and pulled and tugged and pretty soon he had opened that little O. low log so you could see all of it. There was no Mouse there. No, sir. fhere wasn't Mouse there, All there was was the smell of Mouse. and that was most tantalizing and not at all satisfying Cubby Bear was disappointed. He was bitterly dis appointed.
