but he found a little path through the grass which led him in the right direction. It was one of the private little paths that his cousin. Danny Meadow Mouse. had made. Along this Whitefoot ran for a short distance. but the farther he got from the Green Forest the more frightened he became. He stopped. He couldn't make up his back. There he sat, his little heart going pit-a-pa pit-a-pat. pit-a-pat. Suddenly he felt terribly lonesome. He looked up at the sky. Something that seemed like a moving shadow passed not very high above the tops Whitefoot's little heart stopped go- ing pit-a pat: then it beat faster than ever.
 ''That was Spooky the screech Owl" said Whitefoot under his breath. I'm going straight back to the Green Forest; Yes. sir. I am." And that was just what Whitefoot did 8 little later. Spooky had caused him to change his mind.

 Mrs. Nhitefoot's Happy Thought
 By Thornton W. Burgess
 To his owE welfare he is blind
 Who is too set to change his mind.
 -Whitefoot the Wood Mouse
 Whitefoot the Wood Mouse was never more scared in his life than when he discovered Spooky the Owl vas about. If he had been in the Green Forest he would not have been so scared. but Whitefoot had just started to follow Peter Rabbit across the Green Meadows to the dear Old Briar-patch. Fortunately Whitefoot had only little more than started and was still but short distance from the Green For est. Just as soon as he dared White foot ran back toward the Green Forest. Such a sigh of thankfulness as escaped him when he got there. completely. He was now quite ready to go back home, in spite of the presence Of the Bobcat family in that part of the Green Forest. So. watching his chance, he started. Now, the way Whitefoot travels is to run a few feet and dart under a piece of bark, or a big leaf, or into little hole, and there wait until he is sure that it is safe to run a few feet more. In other words he l travels by running and hiding. So 1 sometimes it takes him quite q while to reach his destination. It took him a long time to get home. When he got home he found Mrs. Whitefoot there.
 "Well, she demanded sharply, where have you been?"
 Whitefoot didn't want to tell her that he had started for the dear old Briar- patch. 'Tve been looking for a place where We will be safer," said he.
 Ibid you find it?" she demanded sharply.
 No" confessed Whitefoot. "No. I didn't. thought we might go back to the Old Orchard"

other vital structures. Therefore any abscess or pocket of infected matter, however small, If persistent and not tending toward recovery should be drained and the struc- lures given opportunity to heal.
 Sometimes. immediately after the tooth has been removed and the abscess opened and drained, there seems to be an intensification of the symptoms for which the re- moval was done. This may be due to the fact that the removal has opened up the wall of the abscess and permitted temporarily greater absorption of infected material. The tendency is, however, toward recovery within d short time.

 Old Mother Nature
 Peter Rabbit and Whitefoot the Wood Mouse had spent all day and par. of the night before in a cer- tain bramble-tangle in the Green Forest. It was near the edge Of the Green Forest. They had felt fairly safe there. Nevertheless they were two frightened little people. You see, they had not yet recovered from the fright given them by the family of Fowler the Bobcat.
 "Yes, sir, said Peter Rabbit. i've had enough of the Green Forest. When l ,get back to the stay there.'
 II wish" said Whitefoot. that it wasn't so far to the dear Old Briar-patch. It is all very we'll for you to cross the Green Meadows, but it is another thing altogether for me. I should be frightened to death every foot of the way"
 But your cousin. Danny Meadow Mouse, lives right out there in the Green Meadows" said Peter.
 True enough, true enough. Pe- ter" replied Whitefoot, but Cousin Danny knows all those little paths through the grass. l am not used to living in grass He knews every lit tie hiding place. don't know any of them."
 Well" replied Peter, 'it won't take long to get over there. I'll show you the way. All you need do is to follow my white tail and when we reach the dear Old Briar-p patch your worries will be at an end"
 "Perhaps," said Whitefoot. Mrs. Peter won't like me for a neigh Dor"
 "She will be delighted to have you for a neighbor." declared Pe- ter. "Yes, sir, she will so. That re- minds me, where is Mrs. White foot?'
 Mrs. Whitefoot wouldn't come with me when l left home," replied Whitefoot. "She was more afraid to travel than to stay there. l thought if l could find safer place could go back and get her."
 The long day passed. The Black Shadows came creeping through the Green Forest. By this time Peters courage had returned. Its time to go, Whitefoot,' said he. "Now you follow me and don't you lose sight of my white tail.'
 Peter led the way out of the -tangle to the edge of the Green Meadows. It was lighter out there. Peter sat up and looked this way and looked that way and look ed the other way. Behind them it was auitc dark. In front of them it was just dusk. Here we go." said Peter, and started off lipperty- lipperty-lip, quite forgetting that little Whitefoot couldn't keep up.
 N'hitefoot satrted but his little heart vas going pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat. pit-a-pat. In almost no time at all he lost sight of Peter's white tail.

 I'rnmptncss ;n Advantage -.
 No substitute was eNar as good as the original article. Regular trips 10 the dentist permit the discovery of cavities while they are still small and the use of tiny filings in the place ui large. complicated filings

 From these atsntsscs the bacteria are carried by tbe blood stream to other parts of 1he body and they sci up infections in joints. in fhe 1 heart, in the brain. i'll the glands or in the kidneys.

Lxllies,s scorchtag Ietter so Mr.
 HFsx1nn Meets With Kathertne's
 Approval
 ~ Lillian went to her desk to draft the note to Samuel BTixton, Katherine and exchanged glances of pitying comprehension of our friends problem. and then waited silently while she wrote swiftly, stopping only occasionally to cross out . word. Finally she swung around facing us, the sheets of note paper in her hand.
 T can't be hypocritical with that man." she said with defiant note in her voice. '.I don't want to see him and I'm not going to pretend l do. But l can't refuse to see him both for his wife's sake and for Marion'"although I'm mighty doubtful that this means any bene- lit to Marion"
 The paper rustled in her hand as she involuntarily frightened her clutch upon it. and I knew she was thinking of the premonition of something malign which had come to her with the receipt of the let ter. did not want her to dwell on that phase, and l interrupted her sAuciiy.
 Lets hear the names you called him. They ought to be interesting. :"
 T didn't dare put them down." she retorted with faint grin. They'd have scorched the paper. All right. Here goes:-'
 She took up the letter and began to read while we listened instantly: "Mr. Samuel Brixton,
 Cleveland. Ohio.
 My dear Mr. Brixton:
 T have read with amazement the letter which you have written me. l have no kindly feeling toward you-my memories of the past are too keen. nor can bring myself to believe in the sincerity of your protestations. But l will see you and listen to what you have to say.
 50 much for the business side of the matter. For the rest, my feel ing toward Helen never las changed. and shall be delighted to see her and her children again. For her sake, I will greet you with courtesy and do my best to keep all knowledge of my real feeling from her. l am sure you will as- sist me is this.
 II am enclosing a note to Helen, extending an invitation to you all to visit us. count on you to see that she receives it without being shown this note to you. But wish you to read my note to Helen before giving it to her. Then you will be able to handle the situation intelligently.

Here. you pole cat, I'll talk to you at dis tance Of sixteen rods, but I want you to read the note to your wife so without making mistake. If that man puts his head inside this door he has a rhinoceros looking like a day-old chicken"
 "A little thing like that would only encourage him." Lillian said grimly. Here's what have writ ten to Helen:-'
 She picked up a sheet of her best note paper and read in a curiously softened tone which betrayed the affection which still was hers for this friend of her youth 50 long lost to her!
 Helen, dearest:-
 Your husband has written me of your projected trip East You cannot know-though perhaps you do-for I am sure you have not forgotten our friendship how glad l shall be to see you and the children again, though of course l shall not know them my own daughters stature reminds me that your children must also be nearly grown Up.
