And you're one good scout, Lady Fair. Come on back to the roof. Dicky you can trail along if you wish. How about it, Lil? Don't you think you'd better stay down here and keep an eye out?"
 'I think that would be a bright idea" his wife returned, smiling at him. while l noted with q quickly hidden smile that Harry Underwood issued no direct commands to his wife as he did to the rest of us, but that she acquiesced in his requests as quickly as if she were Griselda herself.
 The Old Lady of the Roof
 Dicky, Harry and 1 hurried back to the roof, and leaving them bit to the rear, l went to the jutting door of the roof bungalow and knocked lightly, at first then inn peratively. After several seconds, the door swung open suddenly, and the old woman l had seen several times confronted me. But there was no recognition in her eyes, and she drew up angrily
 What do you want?" she de- manded with the slightly guttural foreign accent which l had noticed in her speech before

 Her grim mouth relaxed into smile, could not see the expression of her eyes for they were hidden behind heavy glasses, but I guessed that they mirrorcd chagrin.
 "Oh yes, l remember you now. We were calling down curses upon that tall building which cuts off half our view. You must excuse me for not remembering you. My eyes are not very good. Won't you come in?"
 She held open the door, and nod ding casually to Harry and Dicky, | followed her into the studio. There seemed no possible reason for ap- prehension, yet l confess I felt the top of my mouth go dry. as she drew forward a seat for me in the big room which evidently took up almost the whole space of the bun galow.
 You are a friend of the big man, are you not, Mrs. Graham" she | asked after a stereotyped comment upon the weather.
 He is my husbands best friend" I said. They both came up with me this morning."
 Yes, I saw" She looked fixedly | at me. well! do you want to know what he did? He and the manager seemed to think I was harboring thief in here.'

THUNDERSTORMS
By Alice Judson Peale

By Alice Judson Peale
 "Oh, mother, there's going to be a derstorm-listen.
 Allen took his mother by the hand and drew her towards the win dow. Together they looked out upon the black sky, the dark line of hills and the tossing trees of the gar den.
 The storm broke The thunder roared and rolled; the lightning ran down the sky in swift successive flashes. The rain fell furiosIy. Through it all Allen and his mother stood by the window.
 Sounds like giants, doesn't it, mother?" said Allen with shining eyes. T wish l was up there with
 And again: What makes the lightning. mother? See, it's a snake running down to the hill. Where does it go to, mother?"
 Years later, when Allen was al most grown up, he would put on his slicker and walk out into the storm. He said thunderstorm always wanted to make him sing and shout for joy. The strength and beauty Of the storm gave him a feeling of power and eXaltation. He filled his lungs with the keen fresh air and strode through the thick of it.
 How many people there are who suffer agonies of silly fear in the face of a thunderst torm. Their lives contain one fear the more, one joy the less.
 Are you training your child to love the thunderstorm or to fear it? Your own attitude largely will de termine his. If you are afraid, try to disscmble your fear so that it will not be transmitted to him through your example. If you are not afraid, teach him to love the storm and to feel the beauty of it.

geia, the Health Magazine telligently here is a menu developed by an eminent medical authority. The diet contains just over 1000 calories and if a person will eat just these things and no others and carry on his normal work he will lose from two 10 two and one-half pounds per week. If he does extra work he will lose more.
 First Diet
 This diet contains 1900 grains of food and provides 103S calories It takes into account proteins. carbo- hydrates, fats, mineral salts, vita mins, indigestible residue or rough age and similar factors.
 Breakfast
 Two small or one large oranges sliced
 One egg.
 One slice toasted bread (thin). One small square butter.
 One glass skim milk.
 One cup tea or coffee, clear.
 Luncheon Or Dinner
 One cup consomme.
 One medium sliced roast beef Three heaping tablespoons. Of spinach.
 One salad containing eight stalks of asparagus on two leaves of let tuce with vinegar.
 Six heaping tablespoons of sliced peaches.

 Three heaping tablespoons of cauliflower.
 One baked tomato.
 One third head lettuce with lemon juice or vinegar.
 Six heaping tablespoons of red raspberries.

 Every woman who has heard tha; diet read insists at once that it contains twice as much food as she usually eats. The observation is faulty, of course. It contains a variety of ingredients, but they are all chosen with exact knowledge of what they provide in the way of calories and important food a!::ri- butes. She probably eats less ingre- dients any one of which may con- tain as many calories as there arc in the whole meals that are listed,

 Mysterious Old Lady of the Hotel
 Roof.
 Come away from here, pronto, " Harry Underwood said in a low voice as the elderly woman in the roof bungalow slammed her door, I've got all 1 need here, and l want to spill the rest of the stuff to you and Lii and the Dicky- bird. I don't mind telling you I'm nine branches up the tree and still climbing. I'll be out on leaf if this keeps up much longer"
 1 followed him down the stairs, my own head in whirl. For if my calculations were not wrong the bungalow was the only place from which the warning arrow had come. Yet 1 had understood that the wom- man was an old and respected resi- dent of the hotel.
 Tt all clicks" Mr. Underwood an nounced as We rejoined Lillian and DlChS. AIlu lHcl NG IO+lIS Hl+AHoN up against a monkey wrench in the machinery"
 There's one thing sure,' he said That arrow came from somewhere on the hotel roof. But the manager and l have gone over the list of people tenantlng those bungalows. Everyone of them is tenant Of long standing. of the very highest reputation. One of them Is away, and the manager took me into his apartment and we searched it thor oughly for q possible invader, The others. with one exception, aCceptel the managers explanation of clev CT thief at large and offered us eV- cry facility of inspection
 He stopped and looked at Lillian.
 The one eXception," she promp- ted, while I caught my breath, for ] already guessed the answer,
 "Ts the old woman in the one bun galow from which the arrow un~ doubtedly came" he replied slowly.
 'Is there anything suspicious about her?" Dickey asked.
 Not a thing. She is a bit eccen- tric, but perfectly sane. She is the widow of an artist and has lived in the same bungalow for over twenty years"
 q, Not much chance for your theo- ry there,' Diclly commented. sWhat excuse did she give for refusing per mission for you to look over her apartment"
 Said she would have no men coming into her place. I understand she will have no service from men The management has 10 hire one of the scrubwomen 10 do her windows and her vacuum cleaning She will permit no male employee to cross the threshold"
 Madge's Suggestion
 Pleasant old party" commented Lillian. Then as her eyes fell on me, she added quizzically:-
 Speak up old dear You'll choke if you don't"
 T have seen her several times" I said. "She spoke to me once or twice. Perhaps she would let me in to talk to her.

Rattles the kingfisher was sitting on a dead branch which hung over q pool in the Laughing Brook. There were many stones on the bottom On the edge of it was a big rock. Rattles called to Peter Rabbit, who was sitting on the bank near by Peter" said Battles, If yOu'll come over and sit on this big rock and look down in the water and keep perfectly still for a while you'll see some queer people living there"
 Now you know how full of curi- osity Peter Rabbit is. Once that cur iosity is aroused, Peter cannot be satisfied until that curiosity has al so been satisfied, So Peter hopped out on the big rock. He really had nothing to do and hc might as well be sitting there as somewhere else.
 Gan you see the bottom of that little pool clearly, Petcr?" asked Rattles.
 Peter nodded. T can see if per fectly," said he.
 All right replied Ratios. Jus you watch those stones down there and see what comes out from under them. Sooner or later you will Sec somebody"
 So Peter kept his eyes fast on the stones in the bottom Of tho lit tle pool For long time nothing happened Peter began to get sleepy Two or three times his cy,s half closed. He began to suspect that Rattles might br playing a joke on him. But Eattlos the Kjngfishor re- moined upon his perch. also staring intcntlY down into thr water. Peter decided h. could sit as long as E.t. ties could.
 At Inst patience was rewarded. Peter saw a little water insect of some sort.
