carefully he searched for a trap. Sat-

and sampled the apple. And while he
nibbled he did a lot OF thinking and
his suspicious grew. Why had that
apple been put there?
He said nothing about it to Mrs.
Jerry Why worry her? He said moth
ing about it to any Of his children. He
knew that they would not heed warn

only too eager to share in the feast

After the next visit OF the stranger
Jerry found more apple there. So That
same evening one of the young Musk
rats reported a find OF the same kin

What did you do with it?" asked
Jerry.

promptly.
You would" replied Jerry, but did
you first look for traps?"
'Traps!" exclaimed the youngster
scornfully. "Why should look for
traps' Never has there been a trap

Never has there been apple there
before, 50 why should there have been
any there tonight?" retorted Jerry. The
youngster pretended not to hear this.
A few nights later some pieces Of
carrot were found along the Laughing
Brook, and the finders feasted on them.
Jerry's suspicious ana uneasiness grew.
He knew that these good things were

FAMOUS PREDICTIONS
Ascletario, in DEATH Proved Prophetic Power to
Emperor Domitian.
BY J. p. GLASS.

Domitian. Emperor Of Rome, pro-
ceeded on his bloody way, killing this
one on some slight suspicion, that one
for no reason at all. Men began to say
that this mailman must be destroyed
and soon, too. PortentS Of his ap-
preaching end began to appear. At
least they were so read.
The capitol first was struck by light
ming, then the palatine and finally
DomitianS own bed chamber. A vio-
lent storm carried away the tablet upon
the base Of his triumphal statue. He
dreamed that Minerva, whom he wor-
SHIPPED to excess, had turned against
him. declaring she could protect him
no longer.
When he heard that Ascletario, the
astrologer, had made some dire predic-
tons regarding him, he sent for the
man. Ascletario did not deny that he
had foretold certain future events. His
art, he said, endowed him with knowl-
edge.
The emperor inquired sarcastically,
ITO what end dost thou think thyself
will Gomez"
Ascletario replied calmly, 81 shall, in
q short time, be torn to pieces by dogs. I"
Domitian determined that this proph-
ecy should not be fulfilled. He wished
to convince himself that the astrologer's
predictions regarding his own imperial
fate were untruthful. He ordered As
cletario to be seized and slain at once
and then buried with care.
Plans were made for carrying out the
order. But a sudden gale Of wind blew
down the funeral pyre, the body, half
burned, was cast to the ground, and,
as the astrologer had predicted, it was
torn to pieces by dogs.
Latinus, q comic actor. was witness
Of this incident. He was then on his
way to sup with Domitian. Ignorant
Of all that had taken place prior to the
death of Ascletario he told about it,
along with the other news, at the table.
Domitian thereafter considered him.
self doomed. The day before he was to
die, he said, Tomorrow the moon in
Aquarius will be bloody instead of
watery, and an event will happen which
will be talked of all the world over"
He spent the night in terror. Yet in
the morning he tried and convicted a
soothsayer who had predicted, as q
result Of the frequent bolts of lightning,

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.
Rinse for Dry Hair.

Dear Miss Leeds: My hair is very
dry and use vinegar when washing
1t. In some places my hair is getting
lighter. Is this due to the vinegar?
My hair Is long and looks just like
straw. CONSTANT READER.
Answer-It Is not wise to use acid
rinSes too often. One-haf q cupful of
vinegar in two quarts Of water makes
q good rinse for stiff, coarse hair that
has been permanently waved. Since
your hair has become dry and straw
like, think the best thing for it is
a series Of warm-on treatments. Apply
the warmed olive Oil to your scalp
and hair before your shampoo, steam
1t in with hot towels, then wash your
hair with shampoo liquid, made with
pure, mild soap. Rinse out all the
soap and as a final rinse use tepid
water with a little olive Oil in it. Do
not forget to massage your scalp and
brush your hair daily to stimulate the
now Of natural oil and to improve the
circulation. The vinegar rinse will not
bleach your hair, If used in the pro-
portions suggested above. Whatever
you do to make your hair excessively
dry would also tend to make it dull
and faded. When the hair looks like
straw the cause may be too much curl
ing with hot irons, overbleaching or
permanent waving without proper care
after the wave has been given.

To Keen Cheese Fresh.

When you buy cheese, wrap 1t In o
cloth wrung out of vinegar, then wrap
1t in waxed paper and place it in a pa
per bag. The vinegar will keep the
cheese moist and free from mold. The
waxed paper and paper bag will keep
the vinegar from evaporatingS as well
as keep out all odor from the refrig-
orator. Treated this way, cheese will
keep well for a week or 10 days.
