Pines have flowers that attract little

The staminate (male) ones are very
abundant, quite red, and to be found

They are standing proudly and with a

DOOR man, working to get along. You've

with being correct and doing things

than soiling your pretty hands for
the benefit Of some one else"

she pressed something into his hand.
then turned and ran to the waiting
cab.
Shamus, watching the red tail light
Of the cab wink off down the street
knew that he held in his hand the
emerald ring he had saved months for
and given Therese as love token. And
he wondered if he really meant all the
things he had said.
Winter heightened into Spring, and
then Summer and Fall. Shamus reso-
lutely kept his thoughts from wonder
ing about Therese. Purposely he re-
Trained from looking at the society
pages, knowing that there he would be
certain to read about her. Instead, all
the reserve of emotion and interest he
saved for his job. BY the time Winter
had come again he had been promoted
to a lieutenancy in the department.
His work was now his only love.
At 4 o'clock one freezing morning
Shamus was fighting desperately with
his men to subdue an obstinate ware
house fire. His leather coat and he'll
met were sheathed in ice, his eyelashes
beaded with ice, but Shamus was in
terested solely in his Job. The fire
must be checked. He was scarcely
aware Of the oninous sound OF the
weakened wall as 1t gave away until
it was too late.
Shamus awoke In o white-walled
room, with one arm stiff on his breast
in a cast, his head confined in band
ages. Dazed, his eyes closed, and his
bandaged right hand crept up toward
his neck, feeling for the emerald ring
he wore on a slim silver chain. He
heard a voice, soft with pity.
"You mustn't. You've been hurt and
burned terribly" Shamus opened his
eyes and stared hard. It couldn't be
but 1t was. Therese in a nurses uni
form, plain and severe. Her eyes,
through their n1istineSs looked straight
into his. She read the unspoken ques-
ton.
'Tt was your dare. at first" she said
simply. "But now think I've learned
enough to be at least working mans
wife"
Shamus merely shut his eyes again.
But he was smiling as happily as his
bandages would allow.

YINfMY SKUNK is something ofSa
philosopher in the way he ac-
cepts things as they come. Per-
~ haps you have seen people who
always are rushing about, fearful that
they will miss something or that they
will not get their full share Of some
thing, or that they are going to be left
behind. Perhaps you have seen others
who Just go along easily, taking things
as they come, never worrying, accept
ing the bad with the good. You will
flnd in the end that usually these are
the ones who fare best in life. They
may not get riches equal to some Of
the others, but they get more enjoy
ment out of living.
Jimmy Skunk Is that kind. He
never hurries, yet somehow he always
manages to get what he needs and
seems to be always fat. If bad
weather tnterferes with his hunting,
he sleeps until conditions are better.
Then II he feels hungry or no longer
sleepy, he goes out and prowls around.

be late-to be left on a street corner
slowly freezing, forgotten. Wouldn't the
boys at the fire house laugh at that one!
Shamus' jaw jammed itself into the
protecting mufier. He might nave
known it. What right had a poor
young city fireman to pretend to the
love of a girl like Therese Lawton?
Her father had more money than he
could count. And what II she did
prefer his company to that OF the
Young society crowd with whom she
belonged? He had been too much IN
love since he had met her four months
past at a charity ball for firemen's
widows to see that he was probably
favored merely because ne was new
experience.
THE thought CALLED him. AS the
minutes slowly dragged on an un-
familiar rebellion claimed his soul.
This new thought seemed more and
more true as he turned 1t over IN his
mind. He would be the one to build
air castles, to proceed blissfully un-
aware that Therese, the society pet,
was turning him over and over as an
entomologist studies an insect.
The distant clock chimed the quar-
ter hour. Shamus compressed his lips
as he came to a decision. This was
final. He turned brusquely and walked
of down the street. He had kept his
word, even to the point Of imbecility.
Hereafter he would confine his at
tentions to q girl Of his own kind,
who at least could appreciate his way
of things.
Hallway down the block he turned
at the squeal Of brakes and the rasp
of sliding tires on the icy street. The
door of the cab swung open and the
fur-wrapped figure Of q girl emerged

Even If he gets no food, he gets exer-
else. and that Is good for him. So
Jimmy does very little worrying or
grumbling over things that he cannot
help.
With the coming Of the first heavy
snow Jimmy had retired to one Of
Johnny Chuck's old houses in the
ground. There was nice, big, dry
bed room down well beyond the reach
of Jack Frost. The bitter cold did not
get down there. It was as warm as

he slept in his thick fur coat. Then,
too, he found one of his grown chill
dren already there, and shortly after
two or three more Joined them. There
was no quarreling. There may have
been a little grumbling, but no real
quarreling. Those already there sim
ply moved over or crowded little
closer together to make room for the
newcomers. And, of course, so many
together there made 1t just so much
warmer 1Or Ille lIhnaUeS.
So the ice storm that made it so
hard for so many others didn't bother
those Skunks in the least. They SIM
ply slept the time away. Finally on
the night that Peter Rabbit sought
shelter in that very house in the
ground Jimmy and one or two others
awoke. Not being able to go to sleep
again, Jimmy decided to go outside
for q look around, and presently one
OF the others followed.
Jimmy and the Young Skunk, who
was fully grown and almost as big as
his father, went over to Farmer
Browns barn, hoping to find a Mouse
or q Rat underneath 1t. They had no
luck, which didn't matter to Jimmy,
who was too fat to be hungry. 1t was
dry and comfortable under the barn
and Jimmy decided to stay awhile and
perhaps take nap there. The young
Skunk wasn't sleepy. He decided he
would 60 outside and prowl around a
bit.
"You better not" warned Jimmy.
"It already is daylight, so you better
stay right here"
What for?" demanded the other.
Because you will be safer here"
replied Jimmy.
"Pooh!" sneered the young Skunk.
sWho is going to bother me?"
Those Dogs will be out before long,"
replied Jimmy.
And who cares for those Dogs?"
demanded the other. "If they bother
me they'll wish they hadn't"
ST don't believe they will do more
than lot Of barking" agreed Jimmy.
However, If you insist on going out,
you better go straight home. Hooty
the Owl may be about. I wouldn't
care to meet Hooty, and If I were you
I wouldn't take the chance of being
seen by him"
"Pooh!" exclaimed the young Skunk
again. when was little fellow he
probably was dangerous, but now that
I am full-grown, he wouldn't dare
attack me-"
Don't be too sure,1 replied Jimmy.

Mr.. Schenken had some sound
reasons for his psychic bid. In the
first place, East himself was a notori-
GUS psycher, and it was quite likely
that his partner might suspect that
the opening bid was made without the
requisite values. Secondly, as he was
vulnerable and the opponents were
not, Mr.. Schenken did not think the
opponents would. suspec his bid.
