All the time that Honker and his flock had been making themselves at home on the pond of Paddy the Beaver by eating that good breakfast that Farmer Browns Boy had brought them many eyes had been watching them. Among these were the eyes of Farmer Browns Boy himself. Honker and his flock thought that after scattering the corn Farmer Browns Boy had gone away. This was their mistake. He had merely hiden where he could watch them, but where they could not see him.
 So when the disobedient young gander had slipped away from the rest of the flock and had gone up on shore to take a nap, hidden by some young hemlock trees growing close to the water. Farmer Browns Boy had watched him. That foolish young goose hadn't the slightest idea that anybody had seen him. As a matter of fact, several besides Farmer Browns Boy had seen him. Sam my Jay had seen him. So had Chat terer the Red Squirrel Paddy the Beaver had seen him. And there was one other who had seen him. Who that one was the silly young gander was to discover later.
 T notice those geese, all but one, have stayed right out in the water" thought Farmer Browns Boy. T have never seen any one so suspicious as that big leader of theirs. He is everlastingly on watch, l thought perhaps those geese would come ashore when they got through feeding, but apparently that old leader won't let them. He didn't see that one that is over behind those young hemIocks Ii ] know anything about it, that fel- low stole away. l wonder what the old leader would do if he knew about it. That is 9 young bird over there and he probably hasn't learn ed 10 obey orders yet. I guess noth- ing will happen 10 him over there, however. l cannot think of any one around here likely to hurt any of those geese. l suppose Old Man Coyote might if he happened along, and ] guess Peddv Fox wouldn't be above trying. However Reddy would have a Job on his hands unless he caught one asleep. l have been beaten by the wings of goose and they certainly can hit. Hello. l thought l saw something moving on that ridge on the other side of the pond. I guess however, l was mistaken. It must have been just a shadow"
 Still, Farmer Browns Boy had an uncomfortable feeling that there was something going on on the oth- CT side of the pond -something he couldn't see and didn't quite un- derstand. So he kept watch Of that place on the ridge. Instead of watching the geese he watched that place. He had just about made up his mind that nothing was there when he saw a branch of a hem" lock tree move ever so little. There wasn't breath of wind. so wind had not moved ii. 4 little farther long on the ridge he saw another

Enemies of Lady Astor
 Expect to Vote for Her

Plymouth, Eng. April 24 R,- Much discussion has been credited concerning what part the wet in terests' will play in the coming cam- paign of their dry enemy, Lady As tor, to reenter parliament from Sut- ton division, Plymouth.
 Not a single member of the liquor groups has any liking for her lady ship, but some argue she is less dan gerous in parliament than cam mpaign- ing outside and accordingly say they will vote for her. On the other hand many influential vets tlout this idea and have declared war against her to the bitter end.

Princess Olina Arrives at the Farm
 House and lmperiously Demands Permission to See Prince Georges


 It was Princess Olina S voice which had floated up to us from the hall below. There was no mistakins those musical tones. Nor. 1 thought could any other woman of our ac- euaintance have put just that note Of delicate imperiousness into them.
 lnvoluntarily l looked toward Prince Georges as Ohna's demand to see him immediately came up to us. Did l imagine ii. or was there a wish for Mary's departure in the swift involuntary glance he sent her. II there were he did not have to wait for her acquiescence. She was at the door almost before Frin- css Olna had finished speaking With a finger upon her lips and a mischieyous. provocative look in her eyes, she turned in the doorway. nodded brightly 10 him, and dashed noiselessly past me to the shelter of my room where she had been taken when the man with the facial scar Ike CuIilIId IAetu liiSd to el<ei hers.
 As I turned to follow her. kath- erlne spoke with the tinality or the trained nurse who is absolutely sure Of herself.
 Make her understand that she cannot come up here,' she said. My patient has had enough excite ment for one day"
 But I am not tired" Prince Georges began, slightly worried look in his eyes. He did not finish his protest. for Katherine inter rupted him ruthlessly.
 Neither but nor and" she told him with a smile. T stretched my judgment when I let you See Mary. Anybody else will have to wait"
 He looked at her steadily for an instant then shrugged his shoulders in protesting acceptance of her ulti- matum, and turned his eyes toward me.
 Checking Royalty
 Better not -" he began, then stopped abruptly, while his face suddenly reddened
 T won't tell her that anyone else has seen you, said in a low tone. Then she cant be offended"
 "Oh, I didn't mean" The words followed me faintly in to the hall. and I wondered if Olina could hear them. Then Katherine shut the door softly but decisiyely. and noting that Mary had closed the door of my room after her, went swiftly to the stairs to meet Princess OIina com ing up, preceded by Lillian and fol- lowed by Noel carrying several pieces of smart luggage. lillian's expression was distinctly quizzical,

ALASKA JUNEAU EXPANSION.

One of the most encouraging announcements in connection with the local mining industry that has been made in some time, was that of President F w Bradley of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company in his annual report to the stockholders. The time has come, he said when the company is paying it's way and "the assurance of continuous and substantial profits justinss the policy of ex- banding operations over the mining field tributary to Juneau"
 The Bradley interests have invested large amounts of money and expended freely of their engineering genius in the making of the Alaska Juneau. The faith of the Bradeys in the eventual success of the property that is the backbone Of this community and which is producing at this time some 50 per cent of the Territorys gold yield, has been un- faltering in the face Of some deeply dscouraging conditions The excellent balance sheet of last year is ample proof that their confidence was jus tfed
 The same money the same engineering skill and willingness to back their judgment will now be di- rected to other prospects in the Juneau belt And there can be little doubt that other mines will be opened up in this district by the company

Welcome to the Craft.
(New York Times.)


 The articles which MT. Coolidge has agreed to write for The American Magazine should be kept interesting. He has kept a great deal of his ob- servatons to himself. Like the wise old owl that sat on an oak, the he saw the less he spoke
 The less he spoke
 The he heard.
 Now he is in a position to give to the public interesting comment on the life and duties of a President of the United States. Many of his prede cessors have avaied themselves of the same oppor- tunity and the writing craft in general has grown to expect accessions to it's ranks from distinguished retired public servants. Whatever The American may be paying for the articles they will be worth it. Mir Coolidge commands the respect and interest of his fellow citizens Although he has made many speeches and written many messages, he has been chary of comment on the procession of life so gilt tering in the White House corridors The subject he naturally knowns best is Presidential experience and, like all true authors, he will deal with materials he understands
 The mine run" of journalists and authors will not begrudge him his fee so long as he observes the traditions of their profession. famous is of great circulation value, but is dependent on quality for it's continuing pull It should be a long time before monthly articles by MT Coolidge run thin and wash across the boundaries of interest into mere space writing His economy of words is lsuch that he is not likely to let this happen. But even if he does he is fairly safe from getting from his editor some such memorandum as this familiar to many of his colleagues:
 I think we can boil these six articles
 down to three.

show considerable variety in the weather as rule, the same variety may be expected in spite of the old almanacs.
 Here are some of the old predictions, all of which may be stoutly discredited in any audience "As the 1st of January is will be all the rest ,of the month" The 2d day of January though itself already ruled by the 1sD determines the weather of February and also that of September" "The 3d of January Likewise ruled by the 1sD is model of the coming March"
 St. Peters Day, February g (which has already been regulated by the weather the 2d of January and on Candlenas Day) is supposed to serve pattern of weather for the next 40 days, except possibly for the example set by Noah, but find the prediction regarding the weather following Pancake Tuesday; Ash Wednesday, June 8, St. Med ards Day; June 1e, St Protasius' Day; July 3, the first dog day; July 15, St Swithins Day. and August 24, St. Bartholomews Day.
 4 brief calculation will show how unfortunately these periods overlap and either contradict each other or plunge the world in vale of perpetual rain. The best guide to the weather of the next 40 days after any of these dates will be found on 40 successive mornings in the little box in the upper of ones daily newspaper-the fore cast for A hours, based on teegraphic and radio news of weather movement across the continent.
