BEDTIME STORY
By THORNTON W.. BURGESS

gers there might be there he did
not know. He had never been on
that side of the Big River. He
knew nothing of the country on that
SIDE. But the uncertainty was bet.
ter than the certainty behind him.
He could hear the sound of the oars
as the hunter in the boat did his
best to get to him before he should
reach the shore.
On LightfoOt struggled. At last
he felt bottom beneath his feet. He
staggered up through some bushes
along the bank, and then for an in
slant it seemed to him his heart
stopped beating. Right in front of
him stood a man. He had come
out into the back yard of the home
of that man. 1t is doubtful which
was the more surprised, LightfOOt
or that man. Right then and there
LightfOOt gave up in despair He
couldn't run. 1t was all he could
do to walk. The long chase by the
hounds on the other side of the Big
River had taken all his strength.
Not a spark of hope remained to
LightfOOt. He simply stood still and
trembled, partly with fear and
partly with WEAKNESS. Then sur
prising thing happened. The man
spoke softly. He advanced, not
threateningly, but slowly and in
friendy way. He walked around
back of Lightfoot. and then straight
toward him. Lightfoot walked on
few steps, the man followed, still
talking softly. Little by little he
urged LightfoOt on. driving him to.
ward an open shed In which was
pile of hay. Without understanding
just how. LiGhtfoot knew that he
had found a friend So he entered

Mark Twain's Wit Shown i'm
Collection of Aphorisms

Being philosopher, Mark Twain
was given to creating aphorisms-
his diaries published in Cosmopoli-

Grief can take care of itself. but
to get the full value of joy you mus,
have somebody to divide it with.
Have place for everything and
keep the thing somewhere else. This
is not advice, it is merely custom.
A man should not be wlthour

morals than none at all.
My books are water, those OF the
great genluses are wine. Everybody
drinks water.

plot of ground may be made the most
valuable on the farm if planned and
tended carefully. Weekly records
kept two years ago by forty women

the value of such a garden. When
over 400 women put up nearly 30
600 quarts Of vegetables from such
gardens, then its value is even more
convincing. These same women put
up $4,000 quarts of fruit and $4,000
of jellies. jams and pickles. They
