over in the Green Forest last night
when HOnker the Goose and eleven
of his followers were fast asleep,
when l saw Old Man Coyote and
Reddy and Granny Fox hide close
to the edge of the pond. BY and by
| saw that some of those sleeping
geese were drifting in right toward
them. | waited until | didn't dare
wait another minute, and they |
thumped the danger signal to waken
them. Paddy the Beaver heard me
and slapped the water with his tail,
and that made them open their eyes
thumped ! ran, for knew that the
nearest hiding place was an old
bramble-tangle. and that was long
way off, and | felt. sure that Old
Man Coyote would try to get even
with me for spelling his chance of
getting fat goose. Half way there
| stopped 10 listen, which was a
very foolish thing TO do. Old Man
Coyote almost caught me there.
He's smart, Old Man Coyote is. !
never realized until last night how
smart he is. You see, he knew that
the nearest place of safety for me
was that old bramble-tangle, and he
guessed that | would do just what
l did do-stop before got there. So
the instant | thumped he started
for the bramble-tange to try to catch
me, and he nearly did it, too. Just
look at my tail? Did you ever see
such looking tail?" Peter twist
ed around and looked mournfully at
the ragged little white bunch which
he called a tail.
He so nearly caught me that he
pulled a bunch of hair out of my
tail just as | reached the bramble-
tangle. | never before had such
narrow escape in all my life. Then
he told me that l never would get
back to the dear Old Brier Patch
unless got him a fat goose to make
up for the one | had cheated him
out of by waking Honker and the
others, and | knew by the way he
said it that he meant it. OF course,
he knew that ! couldn't, and
wouldn't if could, get him a goose.
1t was his way of telling me that he
meant to catch me. Then he trot-
ted away, and | knew perfectly well
that he had gone to hide somewhere

Miss Lowry, head of the board,
might send. Hang your coat and
hat on the costumer at the head of
the stairs. And, let me see, your
name"
Still the young man seemed a bit
uncertain. Then, ''Drake Gibson" he
said, resOlutely and abruptly.
Elizabeth breathed an unconscious
sigh of relief, as she preceded him
up the carpeted stairs. After the
first embarrassing moments, she had
always found that things went more
easily.
Yet it was hard to believe, during
the meal which followed, that her
guest was the sort of down-and-
outer with which the Charities were
wont to deal.
he talked Interestingly and enter
tainingly and before she realized it,
dinner was at an end and there re-
mained as part of the festivities
only the ceremony of choosing gifts
from the tree.
She had rather decided to pass
that part of the entertainment I'D
when she remembered that she had
hidden in a red cheesecloth stock
ing filled with candy a tiny purse
with a tive-dOllar gOld-piece in it.
Nor was she to be blamed for sup
posing that gift of money so tact
fully presented would not be amiss
to anyone willing to accept a dinner
from an utter stranger.
So, in her winning manner, Eliza
beth suggested that they each
choose a gift from the tree, and
laughed when he carefully united
a little furry monkey.
Then she took down the stocking
full of old-fashioned candy.
"At proper tree there is always
something to take home," she said.
He smiled and accepted it. Then,
to her horror, drew out his knife
and cut the red string at the top.
Have some?" he invited.
"No-that is yes, thank you"
she said in confusion, and watched
him eat several pieces.
Then he pulled out the tiny purse
and, with a frOwn, opened it.
Strangely enough, she saw no sud
den blush or sign of self-conscious-
ness. Rather he seemed relieved.
''This means that must tell you"
he said gravely. And Pm very much

Il kept trying and trying to think
of some way to get here, for ! knew
how worried you would be, my dear,

me there in the bramble-tangle.

right out in front of Bowser and
pretended that something was the
matter for me and | ran, keeping
just out of his reach, and all the
time pretending that | couldn't run

pile of brush. was Old Man Coyote,
just as / had suspected he would

when | went past almost under his

out because BOwser was right at my

There's nothing like a little wit, my
dear, to get you out of trouble"
Little Mrs. Peter drew a long
breath and her eyes were shining
with pride and admiration. My,
how smart you are, Peter!" she
cried. "Stll ! do wish that you
would stay at home and not take
such dreadful risks" she added.

Once it had been down-and-out
ex-missiOnary well along in years,
once a lonely girl from the West,
and several times thin little waits
from the tenements. On those lat
ter occasions Elizabeth had been
glad of the fragrant tree which al
ways stood in one corner of the
apartment, alight with cOlOred bulbs
and hung with varied gifts.
There was no one in sight now
wait, wasn't that some one just
turned the corner?
A moment later the bell rang and
if, when she ran down the stairs
and answered it, Elizabeth was de-
cidedly taken back at the young
man who stood before her, it is
probable that he, too, had his mo-
ment of surprise as he gazed at the
slender vision in a white dress.
Miss Lowry, of the Charities sent

"Oh. yes" nodded Elizabeth quick

Old Gardener
e..=....=...s...==....e=.=.=...===..=......SayS:=

MANY garden makers are obtain
4N1 ing much satisfaction by the
use of peat-moss as a mulch. This
is especially true in sections where
there Has been a prolonged drought.
Granulated peat-moss is a better
mulch than stable litter or grass. 1t
prevents the evaporation of moisture
from the soil and enables the gar
den makers to avoid hours of culti-
walton. When a mulch of this kind
is spread over the perennial bed it
serves a useful purpose by conserv-
ing moisture, and becomes a fer
tilizer when dug in as a part of the
spring work. Moreover, it helps to
protect the roots during the winter.
In some gardens this plan of using
peat as a mulch has been extended
to the rose bed, with decided sue
cess.

KITCHEN HELPS

a LMOST every kitchen no matter
\ how carefully equipped lacks
some one or two utensils or tools
of a really worth while sort.
1t may be a large aluminium or
agate kettle-that may be used for
making a large quantity of coffee for
parties and picnics, for making
clam chOwder or for simmering
fruit for jams or cOnserves.
1t may be a large straight-sided
pitcher of substantial earthenware
that may be used for keeping iced
drinks cold and that can be kept in
small compass in the refrigerator.
1t may be an adequate number of
very small mixing bowls for use in
mixing flour and water batter for
thickening soups and gravies or
making hard sauce for pudding.
1t may be a number of wooden
spoons of fairly wide variety. One
of the most useful tools in our
entire collection is a long straight
handled wooden spoon with a small
round bowl
1t may be a small chOpping knife
and small board or wooden bowl

seasoning vegetables. 1t may be a
vegetable press to use for making
riced potatoes or a special cheese

small cost. Perhaps il is a broad

How | Garry On
BY DOUGLAS MALLOcH

If | am part of all the past,
L If dead mems souls still live
in me,
If rocks are only rocks re-cast,
Each oak the acorn of some tree,
If ! am part of what is gone,
| wonder how | carry on?
This boulder travelled from the north
Upon some glaciers icy blast,
That they who journeyed back and
forth
Along this road might pause and
rest.
And yet how many men in me
Will find a little charity?
This oak tree. when an oak tree fell,
Rose from its roots and spread
its shade;
And, when the sun beat down as
well,
How much of shadow have | made
To cool some other fellows brow
As this old oak tree cools me now?
And, if some mortal loved the right,
And died, who had so bravely
fought,
How well did | take up the fight,
Or was his struggle all for naught? -?
took his gifts, but now he's gone,
| wonder how carry on?

Hence cannot move and could cas-
lily be mistaken for a rock. Its chief
article of food is the condor, which
it captures with great ease. The
process of capture, however, re-
mains a mystery.
A brazil nut forms the chief ar

being used for the body. The feet

in Your bowels!

Poisons absorbed into the system
from souring waste in the bowels,
cause that dull, headachy, sluggish,
bilious condition; coat the tongue;
foul the breath; sap energy, strength
and nerve-force. A little of DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will clear
up trouble like that, gently, HARM
lessly, in a hurry. The difference it
will make in your feelings over night
will prove its merit to you.
DR.. Caldwell studied constipation
for over forty-seven years. This long
experience enabled him to make his
prescription just what men, women,
old people and children need to make
their bowels help themselves. Its
natural, mild, thorough action and
its pleasant taste commend it to
everyone. That's why ''Dr. Caldwell's
