they crouched close together and won
dered what dreadful thing was going
to happen. That jug which had
seemed to them such a perfect place
for their home had proven to be a
trap. Yes, sir, 1t was a trap. They
were in it and they couldn't get out
while 1t was held right side up, for
they couldn't climb that smooth wall.
They were prisoners and they couldn't
Eelp themselves. So you can guess
what deadful suspense they were Ia.
1t seemed to them ages and ages
before that jug was slowly put down
And then they we're still prisoners, for
it was put down right side up. Sup
posing it should be left that way
Just supposing that! Then they would
be held prisoners. They wouldn't
starve right away. for there was some
corn in there with them, but In time
they would starve. That jug. which
only such a little while before had
seemed such a wonderful place for a
home, was now hateful thing, trap
from which there was no escape.
Slowly, very slowly that jug began
to tip. Over it tipped farther and
farther until at last it lay on the
ground just as it had been when
Farmer Browns Boy found it. No
sooner was it still than Danny darted
out, and the wonder was that he
didn't run right into the mouth of
Flip the Terrier. He didn't, however,
for Flip had just a moment before
gone shifting little farther along the
fence. Nanny remained right where
she was in that jug.

Mouse chung together in ter

- had In their lives, but never
a greater one than this. Up.
up, up they were being lifted and
there was nothing they could do about
it. 1t would have been bad enough
had they been prepared for anything
Of the kind. but they were not. They
were wholly unprepared. The pos-
sibility of such thing had never
once entered their funny little heads.
They had made their home in a jug
left In fence corner Of the cornfeld
by Farmer Browns Boy in the Sum-
mer. They had felt that 1t was the
safest and best home they ever had
had. None of their enemies could
break into it with claws or teeth.
They had pitied their neighbors who
made their homes in the shocks of
corn in that field, for they had seen
those shocks upset and pulled apart
by Farmer Browns Boy and his father
as they harvested the corn. They
had pitied their neighbors and at the
same time reminded each other that
their home was in no danger of being
disturbed. And now 1t, with them
in it, was being lifted up. up, up!
What had happened? Why, Farmer
Browns Boy. not knowing that any
one was living in that jug, had picked
it up intending to put it in the wagon
to take back to the house. A rafting
sound from inside it caught his at
tention. He peeped in, but, of course,
he could see nothing in there, for it
was dark. But he could hear some
thing and when he poked about in
there with a twig he felt the nest.
He knew what 1t was.
Mice have a nest in herei What
do you know about that?" he ex-
claimed as he held the jug up for
Farmer Brown to see.
If they are still in there you better
call Flip and then shake them out
for him to catch. He'll make short
work of them" replied Farmer Brown.
Farmer Browns Boy shook his
head. II can't do that" said he
Mice are pests and a nuisance,
know. They do a lot of damage. But
when they are smart enough to make
their home in place like this they
deserve to be left alone. I'm not even
going to take the jug home. I'm going
to put it back just the way found
it and let them have it for the Win
ter, anyway"
If only Danny and Nanny could
have understood this, how differently
they would have felt. But they
couldn't understand q word of 1t. so

The Debunker
By JOHN HARVEY FURBAY. Phi. D.

THE needle Of compass points to
The North Magnetic Pole, which
is about 1,5o0 miles to the west of true
north. This magnetic pole was located
in 1881 by Sir John Ross. The South
Magnetic Pole was located nearly 100
years later by Sir Ernest Shackleton.
In various parts Of the world the COM
pass needle takes different positions
with reference to true north. In Lon
don 1t points about IA degrees west Of
true north, while in some other parts
Of the world the declination may be
as much as so degrees. The amount
Of declination also varies from time to
time at the same place. (The compass
in the drawing is at Falmouth.)

ords say "myriads," unbelievable
numbers" and millions" In fact,
there were several records that re-
ported the numbers to be so great that
the count was taken of them as "a
vast moving army over quarter Of
mile wide"
Then came the craze for squirrel
coats and scarfs, and the gray squir-
rels were slaughtered by the millions
After this calamity. they were very
scarce in some sections, but they are
again filling their ranks.
There have been many untrue re-
ports about their destructiveness, but
the truth of the matter reveals the
fact that 1t was the few demoralized
ones that stole the babies from the
bird mothers or developed desire for
their eggs.
To these little thrifty fellows we are
indebted for our famous hickory-nut
| forests. Where you found the squir-
rel, you were sure to find the tree.
So fond is the little animal of the
hickory nuts, he will hardly give
them q chance to become fully ma
tured. His lips and little hands are
dyed a deep. ochreous red by the
stain of the hull and green nuts. and
often remain SO colored until Spring.
Have you ever watched a gray
squirrel handle a nut? How care
fully he twirls it about in his wee
hands, then places 1t between his
teeth. rolls it about in his mouth with
his tongue? Then, finding the weak
est spot, goes after the rich meat
| within.
Being careful to look after lean
days that might follow, he puts by
one half of his income Give him
one nut, and he will take some time
deciding whether to bury it or not,
if he has recently dined. Given
two, one is eaten at once and the
other hidden.
With the nut In his mouth. he
bounds away, selects spot in his
mind before he reaches 1t, and laying
the nut aside. or perhaps holding it
in his teeth, he digs, fast and furi-
ously, nice bin for it, inches deep.
With care, he fills up his cellar" and
skillfully combs the dirt to hide all
traces of his cache. Then leaves,
moss or twigs are drawn over the
place, that defies the elect TO find his
treasure house

the hawk and his mate, are the most
feared, as they hunt In pairs.
The courtship days are announced
by the soulful ditty of the squirrel
maiden, who broadcasts to the world
she wishes to wed. There is no mis-
taking this song, once you have heard
it, Suitors answer her. and their
solos have wonderful carrying power,
heard for great distances. Some
fierce battles are fought and the best
man wins This, it is said, accounts
for the very healthy, fine families the
squirrels have.
The charming babies are not seen
until they are six weeks old. At first,
only their mother could see beauty
and possibilities in them. But you
can see she had vision, for what is
more cunning than a baby squirrel?

equal for breaking up obstinate coughs.
From any druggist, get 21a ounces

No cooking needed. It's no trouble at

only today this dread letter had come.
He loves Sylvia" Over and over
these words ran through James mind.
They stabbed her heart. She had
shut herself into her apartment, re-
fusing even to see Alfred.
Jane crossed to a mahogany table,
picked up the book Sylvia" and
opened it at the page, Drsmatis Per-
sonae. She read: Sylvia, girl of
10, beautiful and impetuous, with
golden hair and" she closed the
book hastily, not reading further.
Jane looked at her own reflection
in long mirror hanging between two
windows. She had no makeup. In
Sylvia" she wore golden wig-her
own hair had begun to show streaks
of gray.
How old was Alfred? He had told
her-yes, he was 27. But Sylvia was
10, Just in the beautiful freshness of
Springtime and womanhood.
1t must be true, as Lucy had writ
ten. Alfred loved the beautiful,
Springlike Sylvia, with her impetu-
Gus youthful spirit and apple blossom
loveliness. He did not see the quiet,
plain Jane Vinson, approaching mid
die age. When he awoke to reality
what would his reaction be?
If only Lucy had not written that
last sentence in the letter-the one
that hurt her to read. It changed
everything. She could even endure
the rivalry Of Sylvia more than she
could that!
Caroline re-entered.
"Mr. Alfred has been calling. He
is awfulIy upset about you, Miss Vim

said the maid.
Tell Mr.. Vaughn when he calls,
not to come tonight. I will write to

Jane went to her desk and took
out pen and paper. She sat down
and, without heSitating, wrote:
