still whistling softly, he went out, clos
ing the door behind him.
IF only he had left that door open,
thought Reddy, mournfully.
Once more there was no sound save
those made by the horses and cows.
Reddy lifted his sharp nose and shifted.
Then very slowly and stealthily he crept
out of his hiding place. Pausing with
every step. he crept toward the thing
Farmer Browns Boy had left on the
barn floor. AS he approached closely
he quivered all over. There was meat
there and other good things. Reddy
walked all around that big pan of food.
Long and bitter experience had taught
him to be suspicious Of everything, espe-
cially of everything man had had any
thing to do with.
But such hunger as was his was not
long to be denied, and soon Reddy was
gulping down such feast as he had
not known for long time. With every
mouthful he felt his strength returning.
When he could eat no more there was
still big bone with lot of meat on
it. This he took back behind the bar
rels and lay down to rest and wait for
what might happen next.
For long time nothing happened
and at last Reddy took a nap. He was
awakened by slight noise outside the
barn. The door opened just little
but no one came in. His sharp ears
caught the sound of footsteps and they
were going away. For a long time
Reddy waited. Then he crept out. That
door was still open. The opening was
Just big enough for him to pass through.
He was tempted to rush out. He didn't.
He cautiously stole over and peeped out
to make sure that no Dog or hunter
was waiting for him. Then he turned
ran swiftly back to the barrels, picked
up that big bone and once more ap-
preached the door. AS before, he peeped
out carefully.
The way was clear. He was sure of
it. He slipped out, darted around the
corner of the barn, and sped away across
the snoW-covered Green Meadows,
straight for the Old Pasture. And how
he ran! Rested and fulfilled, his
strength had returned. Farmer Browns
Boy watching from a window of the
house, chuckled happily.
I've brought you something" said
Reddy, proudly, as he laid the big bone
with meat on it at the feet of Mrs.
Reddy, and then stood back and
watched her pounce on it and begin to
tear the meat from 1t. He knew just
how hungry she was and what treat
he had brought home to her, and some
how he quite forgot all the troubles he
had had. Life is like that.

The business end is as important as
the making of the things and whatever

as to buy new materials to carry on

The greatest enemy to her ultimate
success Is her own discouraging fear.
She hopes for immediate returns only

She should remember that laying the

whether in business or home work.
Remember when successful men and
women are spoken of, that they had long,

in her smaller ventures, If, like them,
she plans well, casts aside discourage

NORWAY SPRUCE
Illustrations by Mary Foley.

~ N the Alps, the Norway spruce
reaches toward the sky for a
hundred and fifty feet, often
" more. Far, far away you can see
the stately sentinel. AS a
Christmas tree it has no equal. In the
grounds of large estates 1t Is used pro-
fusely and in city parks this tree is the
favorite. 1t is European tree which
has made its home among us for many
years and proven to be very valuable as
an ornamental tree as well as a most
Efficient wind-break.
In May the Norway spruce Is in bloom
and it is a very pretty sight, indeed.
The wine-colored, pistillate cones lit
upward from the twigs. The pollen
bearing catkins are on the short termi-
nal branches. The wee catkins grow on
soft white stems from the base OF the
scales which guarded them all winter.
These little rpillar-looking catklns
are filled with golden dust. The young
cones stand upright and the winds blow
the pollen to the ovuleS or seed-boX.
The young cones are purplish red,
and stand for some time after the scale
has closed over the precious pollen.
The kindly winds watt the pollen from
cone to cone. Later the little pollen
container turns around and downward,
just as II she knew what She was DONG.
Later she will be a beautiful green and
late in the fall when the seeds are ripe
she will be wearing a rich brown coat.
You will find these cones at the tip OF
the branches; they hang downward
and are from four to six inches long.
The scales are broad and thin toward
the notched tips. They are arranged
in spiral rows Of five. The cone is the
seed-box and has a great amount OF
resin on it. In the fall, when the seeds
are ripe, the squirrels are most i'm
patient to get to them, you will see them
tear away the scales in their eagerness
to get to the rich seeds.
The twig of this year has the pointed
leaves growing from its brown stem, each
from short ridge. Those of the lower
side reach out to get the light and these
lift up. The leaves of the spruce are
curved, stiff and four-sided ending In

sharp point On the tip of a twig, the
buds of next May can be seen.
In form the Norway spruce is a beau
tiful cone It's lovely tip slants to the
dropping branches down to the very last
one. The branches shed the snow, and
this Is most wise plan Of Nature,
otherwise, with its heavy foliage through
the entire winter and where the SHOWS
are deep, this burden would be too much
for the twigs and branches. In color
it looks like deep, velvety green, the
leaves look so glossy and smoth,
but after trying to stroke them once,
you will find a whisk broom or a wire
brush would be less scratchy.
AS Christmas trees in a community
celebration there is nothing more thrill
ing to remember our favorite tree by.
Garlanded in colored lights, showered
with glittering tinsel, surely the tree is
as happy as we.

EVERYDAY PSYCHOLOGY

borhood gossip tends to point them out
as interesting objects for study. Every
thing they do is a possible subject for
idle comment. The stock Of supposedly
queer traits increases. Gossip about
them hardens into conviction; they are
said to be queer.
1t is popularity supposed that the
gifted but queer are born that way.
This popular notion is only about half
true. The individual is born with GER
tain unusual abilities, but he appears
queer merely because his talents keep

Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.
BY MILDRED MOCKABEE.

TINE writer Of these unique rs IS
apparently an even tempered,
quiet dispositioned person. She
Il probably is naturally an unemo-
tional type, and not one who
is calm merely through sef-repres-
sion. People would admire the poised
confidence which she radiates, and
would turn to her for advice or SYM
pathy.
Both within and without her home
we should expect to find her very
methodical, being completely SATISFIED
only when every last detail was attended
to. Confusion and disorder would
likely sin against her love OF dong
things exactly right. She would ap--
parently be extremely unhappy around
careless or untidy people.
The unusual "r" strengthens our
first impressions of the writer. 1t Is
not likely she is Of studlous nature
Her interest in literature might chiefly
be of recreational trend, stories OF
character delineation holding her at
tention.
She seemingly has q natural bent
for work along the lines Of social serV-
ice. Her gracious sympathy, coupled
with her apparent inability to be TOO
deeply affected emotionally by poverty
and distress, would qualify her for this
field Unemployment relief projects
would afford a somewhat similar outlet
for her talents.
Should such work not appeal to her
then the operation of "Woman's
exchange" would seem to be logical
vocation. Properly conducted these CO.
operative little exchanges, where fancy
goods and home manufactured articles
are sold on commission for the makers,
offer chance for profit. She appears
qualified to manage such shop sue
cessfully.
Her health is possibly not very rug
ged. Attention to diet and regularity
of living are apparently provided for
in her daily program. The spirit OF
play, however, is probably missing from
her recreations. Were a more happy
go-lucky attitude adopted, her general
health would improve.
