denly darted out from behind q stone
one Of the liveliest members Of the
Lizard family, known as Swift. 1t Is
a question which was the most sur
prised. Each saw the other at the same
instant. Swiftly knew that his only
chance was to reach something he
could climb, and the nearest thing was
a giant yucca plant. II he could reach
that he would be safe.
Away he darted for that yucca. and
after him, with neck stretched its full
length and long tail straight out be-
hind, sped Cocky the Road Runner.
Could you have seen that race, Swiftly
running for his life and Cocky for his
breakfast, you would have understood
why one Is called Swift and the other
a Road Runner.
For short distance Swiftly gained.
Then Cocky began to gain. They were
and Cocky knew that he must catch
Swiftly before he got there or he would
not catch him at all. Swiftly knew this
quite as well, and each tried to put on
a little more speed. The way those
two SKINNED over the desert sand was
wonderful to behold. Would Swiftly
save his life? Would Cocky get his
breakfast?

Cocky made a sudden lunge and his
big bill closed on Swifty's long tail at
about the middle. Cocky threw up his
long tail to act as a brake and help
him to stop, his bill closed tight on
that wriggling, twisting tail. He felt
better already. He would have his
breakfast. He stopped and prepared to
turn Swiftly around SO as to swallow
him head first, and then-well, then he
discovered that he didn't have even
half breakfast. All he had was that
wriggling tail. Yes, sir. that was all he
had, and that wasn't worth while.
Swiftly had fooled him. The instant he
had felt his tail seized he had twisted
it off close to his body, and now was
safely up in that yucca.
He had lost his tail, but he had
gained his life. And the loss Of the tail
didn't bother him at all, for he knew
that in time he would grow anether
Cocky was so disguised that he dropped
that tail. It wasn't worth swallowing

Next thing men like to hear humor-
Gus talk and amusing stories. You

Above all, don't tell them your trout
bles. There are a great many women
in the world who like to listen to peo-
pies troubles. But men do not like
so kind nor so masochiStic as women.
And they don't get the thrill that an
envious woman gets when she hears
some one else Is having q bad time.
Don't tell men your troubles unless
you can make a funny story OF them.
You will make the hit Of your life
II you get any man to talk about his
childhood. Rare. indeed, Is the man
who doesn't want to tell you what he
pretty we'll, what he did as a baby.
1t takes little tact to get a man
started talking about his childhood, but
once he does so to you. you have made
a friend for life. They want to talk
about the tricks they played at school
and what bad boys they were, and
about the first time they smoked a
cigarette. When they are beginning to
fall in love with you, they want to tell
you about the first girl they were in
love with.

Child Without q Home.

Parents may sometimes find them
selves unable to give their child q
home. Because of o separation OF the
parents, occupation, enforced travel and
other causes, home life may be impos-
sible. If no worthy substitute for ones
own home can be found. 1t is advisable
to provide the child with the compan-
ionship of other children. Money is,
and usually remains. an important
factor.
In providing for such a child. money
should be invested primarily in suitable
lodgings, where wholesome food Is
available. Environment is important
in child's life, but the neeas of the
animal come first. Where ones means
are limited. and little more than bare
necessities can be given a child, she
should be placed where she may live
comfortably and well. above all else.
Sometimes the modest boarding
home Is preferable to the expensive
one in which a child is accorded the
sympathy and understanding essential
to her happiness. In this respect 1t Is
advisable to investigate the child's flu
ture home before placing her. Clean
illness, good habits and good manners
are worth more to the child without a
home than auto rides and luxurious
fare.
Some mothers think that It Is best
to pay by the week. 1t enables one to
remove ones child from a home that
does not suit her. without any loss OF
money. 1t encourages the mother to
keep regular watch on the child. and,
if contingency arises. she can place
the child elsewhere at short notice, or
even take her back home when 1t be-
comes possible to do so.
The fee one pays for ones child
should include lodging board and Incl
dentals. One may or may not arrange

swiftly the Lizard.


Cocky the Road Runner was out Of
luck. Anyway, it seemed so to him. He
was hungry, and growing hungrier
every minute, and 1t seemed as If he
was likely to grow hungrier still. When
he had started out hunting that morn
ing there had been plenty of lizards
whichever way he turned. He and Mrs.
Cocky had caught several, enough to
satisfy the appstites of the four babies
at home, and had then started out to
get their own breakfast. Mrs. Cocky
had gone one way and he had gone an
other. That was an hour ago and he
hadn't seen a Lizard. If this kept on
he would not only GO without break
fast, but would have to do without
lunch as we'll. The whole tribe of
Lizards appeared to have mysterioualy
vanished
Jolly, bright, hot Mr.. Sun was. get
ting we'll up in the sky and the heat
was very great. Cocky didn't mind it,
because he was used to it. Besides,
this was just the time of day that the
Lizards like best Apparently it never
is too hot for them. So it seemed to
him that it was queer that his hunting
was all in vain.
1T must be that have hunted
around here so much that they have
all been frightened away" thought he,
which happened to be the truth. "Iu
have to go little farther from home
and try some place where I haven't
hunted for long time. 1t is a good
thing that don't mind travelling"
So Cocky headed for a place where
he remembered he had once had good
hunting in the days before he had had
any family cares and could wander
where he pleased. He moved stealthily
and his bright eyes watched the ground
ahead and on both sides of him. He

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.

Every housewife ought to be able to
do some canning because even in cities
it sometimes happens that there Is real
economy in doing 1t. Learn the trick
Of putting up a few jars-or even a
single jar at time. You may have
a quart of berries in the house that you
really don't want to eat, or you may
find in peach season that you can buy
q large basket at considerable saving
even though you may not need more
than third or half for present con-
sumption.
Or in the course of your country mo-
tor trips you may come upon a farm
where some fruit or other Is for sale at
temptingly low price. Or friend In

ting this fruit go to waste or than eat
