 Flip, the bright-eyed little wire haired terrier who had come to Farmer Browns to live, was gred1y- ely becoming more acquainted with the country. You see, he had come straight from the city and kne" little of country ways or country people. Otherwise he would not have so rashly taken Old Nr. Toad into his mouth. He would rot rave chased Rumble the Bee and he would not have sat down on the home of the Yellowjackets All these things he had done, but he never would again.
 My what a lot there is to learn!" said Flip to Bowser the Hound. 'The country certainly is q funny place. Every day I see some thing or some one I've never seen before. My. how I do love to chase some of the little people around here."
 T would be a little particular as to whom I chased" said Bowser.
 Don't worry" replied Flip. "IIl never chase anybody bigger than myself"
 If you'll take my advice - the advice of one who knows" replied Bowser, you won't chase every one smaller than yourself. There arc some people that it is just as well to be polite to-"
 Huh" replied Flip. Huh, Ii they're bigger than I am, III be pO- lite to them, but I've never seen any one yet smaller than myself that felt that I had to be polite to-"
 How about Rumble the Bee ?' asked BoWscr slyly,
 Flip looked as he felt, which was little bit foolish. "Oh, of course, said he 'I didn't mean any one like Rumble the Bee or those Yellow jackets, l mean people who veal fur coats as you and I do"
 T can think of one of those that T. F'l SNINll.. Nl4pbtb t't E'lN pun to if I should meet him. said Bowser.
 "Who?' demanded Flip,
 "Ill point him out to you some time" said Bowser,
 why not tell me wIo he is now? ?' demanded Flip.
 Bowser grinned. "Wair till w meet him." said he And that was al that Flip could get from him.
 It was later that very day tha Flip took it into his head to go ove into the old Orchard. In the ia, corner of it he suddenly came Upol a stranger.

Madge Is Aghast to Learn of Jack
 Lcslie's Reappearance on the
 Scene
 For years I have tried to emulate Lillian's poise and perfect control of her face and voice when she hears startling news. Upon all ordinary occasions l quite flatter myself upon my ability to keep poker face. '" but the news Dicky had just given me was so dismaying. and involved such disastrous possibilities that l could not hide my concern.
 Jack Leslie!" l gasped. "But he couldn't be here He's on the other side of the world"
 You remind me" my husband drawled. "of that ancient cartoon of the attorney looking through the bars of the jail at his client and repeating, "But they cant put you in jail for that.'
 Harry Underwood guffawed, but what Lillian calls my "One track mind" refused to be diverted.
 I Let the Cat Out of the Bag
 But Lillian said that Hugh" l began, stopped short in panic stricken confusion at my in- advertent mention of Hugh Grant lands name, and then was furious at myself for that betraying pause, To have gone on with my disclosure of the thing Hugh Grantland had done for me would have been awk- ward enough in view Of Dickys feeling toward the man who had giv en me a chivalrous self-sacrificlng devotion such as few women receive. But cutting my sentence short like a frightened child was the act of an imbeciIe, I told myself scathingly the while l wondered just what form Dickys reaction to my betray- ing little speech would be.
 At Lillian's behest and the coun- sel of my own common sense, I had never told Dcky of Hugh Grant lands disposal of Jack Leslie. l had not known it myself until long after that terrible night when our rescue of Mary from the apartment of the cabaret dancer was followed by the suicide of Grace Draper who had engineered the girls appearance as the masked dancer at the cabaret. For months after that night l had battled with the awful knowledge that Dicky - tricked by a most startling array of evidence cleycrly arranged by the woman who had loved him and hated me with equal violence-had believed me capable of trying to poie~n him. Lillian had carefully avCiC mentioning any thing which nvive the horror in my mind. | cn l had begun to find sanity m, she answered a worried question of mine concern ing Jack Leslie's whereabouts by telling me that Hugh Grantland was paying Jack Leslie a substantial income 10 remain on the other side

! RHNELANDER, Wis, September 3.
Lack, Of men and lack Of rain COM
1,ined today to create serious forest
fi7e situation in two widely separated
sections Of North wisconsin.
Woods baked by weeks Of dry weather
provided quick fuel for flames whipped
by high winds. More than q dozen
freS swept through timber land south
and north of here and In the vicinity OF
Bayfield,, on the Lake Superior shore. :
Fire wardens called for more help.
In the vicinity Of Lakewood, where
large area is being burned over, they
reported that many settlers refused to
aid. They looked to rain to do the
work, but weather forecasts promised
only q continuation of the dry spell
which has lasted for more than three
weeks.
while the present fires are considered
serious, they have not endangered any
valuable timber and only few farm
homes. The seriousness lies in the
passing Of many more days without
rain, creating a situation IN this DIS
trict worse than ut any time IN the
last So years, fire wardens agreed.
Out Of the Lakewood FIRE came the
story Of 3 farmers heroisin when flames
surrounded his home. Re bundled his
children into an automobile, drove 1t
through the flames until 1t caught IRE,
and then crawled with them to safety
on the main road.
The Bayfield, fire, which lies chiefly
in the Moquah National Forest area.
was reported the worst in the history
Of that section. Rangers gained corso-
lation from the fact that the land ii
is sweeping is mostly scrub" timber
and second growth, which the Govern
n1ent planned to reforest next year.
