hours, Leezen saw two bright spots
by the side of the road 1t was the
glowing eyes of young wolf that
had just awaked and was stretching
himself. Then she saw an old crow
on the branch of a pine tree take
his head out from under his wing
and yawn. He cackled after them,
who are you, who are you?"
"Oh, dear" sighed Leezen. "It's
near dawn" She leaned over the
horse and whispered, Faster,
faster"
He pulled his muscles tauter. His
steps became great leaps. But try
as he would he was still galloping
through the woods when the sun
sent out its first streak of pink.
Wait" shouted Leezen. The
horse pulled up short. She slipped
to the ground and ran into the
woods. At the foot of a great
tree she stopped. She was only a
lifeless doll that couldn't see nor
hear nor talk. The horse whinnied
VIII fright and galloped off. Leezen
was alone and lost.

IX-The Glass Man.

For an hour that night Leezen
sat silently watching the King of
Westphalia. He stared motionless
into the leaping fire. 1t was so silent
in the great hall that Ileezen could
hear the soft swish of snow against
Sne windows. She reached for a
little gold box on the table and
opened it. There lay a flashing
sapphire.
She held it up to the fire and
turned it in the light so that pink
lights darted from it. "Oh, I wish
Eric could see this she thought.
Then the stone felt queer in her
fingers. She looked sharply, and as
she did it turned into a little man,
only 2 inches high. He seemed
to be made of blue white glass. He
bowed.
Why, who are you?" whispered
Leezen.
I'm just a thought some one is
thinking of you" said the little man.
usually lie asleep in that sapphire.
But when any one picks me up I
can reflect the thought of friend"
I see,' said Leezen. But who
Is thinking of me?'
Look" said the little man. He
pulled out a tiny flute, no bigger
than pin and began to play Lee
zen. Lee-zen"
It's Eric said Leezen with shin
ing eyes.
A Sad Tune.
The little glass man played on,
but he played SO softly only Leezen
heard. She whispered, How is
Eric?" Then the little man played
very sad tune "Oh, dear" sighed
Leezen. Il must escape from here
and find him.
She put the little man back into
the gold box, and as she closed the
lid over him he disappeared and only
the round sapphire lay there. Then
she rose from her chair so cautiously
the King didn't notice her. She
backed away from him and into the
far shadows of the great hall, where
she found a wide staircase lit by
candles. So she tripped silently
down them and came out on a
courtyard, where there stood two
guardSmen dressed in armor with
crimson plumes waving from their
helmet. They leaned on their spears.
Along the top Of the courtyard wall
great flares of light burned. An
iron gate opened onto the road.
Leezen hid behind a pillar to
watch because she wanted to take
one Of the horses tied near the gate
Then she saw the guardsmen walk
over to stand under one of the flares.
They bent to look at the hilt of a
fine sword
Quick as breeze Leezen slipped
across the courtyard. In a twinkling
she was on a big white horse and
he was galloping out of the court
yard, onto the drawbridge and down
the road.
Faster, Faster"
She leaned over to whisper to the
horse, Quick. To Toyland before
dawn" for then 1 became like a
stone" The horse pricked up his
ears and sped. The strong white
horse ran and ran until his ewes
were red. But it was many, many
miles to Toyland, and the woods
grew deeper and more lonesome.
After the two had ridden through
tall pine trees for three or four

Ferocious Fighting Bulldog Is Thing of the Past

The old ferocious fighting bulldog
is a thing of the past. True, they
took the part and there is no lack
of courage but the fighting heart is
so filled with love and affection for
all those they come in contact with
they have no time. nor inclination
to quarrel, writes Margaret Kidder
in the Los Angeles Times. Even
their standard demands that they
should be equable and kind, resolute
and courageous (not vicious or ag-
gressive) and demeanor should be
pacific and dignified. These attri-
butes should be countenanced by the
expression and behavior.
The perfect bulldog must be Of
medium size and smooth coat; with
heavy, thick-set, low-swung body,
massive short-faced head, wide
shoulders and sturdy limbs. The
general appearance and attitude
should suggest great stability, vigor
and strength. The size for mature
dogs is about SO pounds; 10 pounds
less for the feminine members of
this breed.
Great Importance is placed on the
subject of teeth and placement of
jaw in all breeds and with the ma
jority you will find that the stand
ards require the overshot or level
mouth, accompanied by the state

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Testing Waffle Ir0n.-A simple
test for determining when the waf-
fie iron is hot enough for the bat
ter is this: Put a teaspoon OF
water in the iron, close, and when
the steam ceases coming out, the
iron is ready for the batter.
Improving Iced Tea.-Add a
little grated orange and lemon
rind to iced tea for a delicate
flavor. A few chopped mint
leaves placed in the tea when
sleeping also give subtle taste.
To Brighten Aluminum.-To
keep aluminium bright rub it with
any of the acid fruit juices such
as lemon or rhubarb, or let it
stand in a rather strong solution
for one-half hour.
Use Underripe Fruit.-When

fruits and berries underripe rath.

ment that the undershot jaw is a
fault. This is one of the few breeds
in which we find the emphasis placed
on the undershot jaw. The bulldogs
is massive, very broad, square, and
undershot with thick, broad pendant
chops or "fews'' completely over
hanging the lower jaw at each side.
The tail of bulldog may be
straight or the screw type but never
curled or curly and the energy they
put into the wagging of this rear
appurtenance is something to wit
ness. They start at the shoulders
with sort of Hula movement that
wiggles the rear quarters into mo-
ton. It's a dead giveaway to their
gentleness for they simply ooze
sweetness and have heck of a time
living down the reputation of their
fighting ancestors.

throbbing sense of the magnitude of
the thing which has happened. From
such beginnings is written the his
tory of humanity.
Deep in a hollow where the wind
had swept up the snow, and left the
ground bare they found crowfoot in
an emerald carpet-there were hol-
ly branches dripping red berries
like blood on the white drifts. They
filed their arms, and at last they
were ready to go.
Evans whistled for Rusty but the
little dog did not come. Hell find
us; he knows every inch of the
way"
But Rusty did not find them, and
they were on the ridge when that
first awful cry came to them.
Jane clutched Evans. "What is it
oh, what is it,"
He swallowed twice before he
could speak. "Its-Rusty-one of
those steel traps"-he was painting
now-his forehead wet-"the Ne
groes put them around for rab-
bits" Again that frenzied cry
broke the stiffness. They're hellish
things
Jane began to run in the direction
of the sound. "Come on, Evans
oh, come quick"
He stumbled after her. At last he
caught at her dress and held her.
eff he's hurt can't stand it,
It was dreadful to see him. Jane
felt as if clutched by nightmare.
"Stay here, and don't worry. I'll
get him out"
It was a cruel thing to face. There
was blood and that little trembling
body. The cry reduced now to an
agonized whimpering. How she
opened the trap she never knew,
but she did open it, and made a
bandage from her blouse which she
tore from her shoulders regardless
of the cold. And after what seemed
to be ages, she staggered back to
Evans with her dreadful burden
wrapped in her cape. "We've got
to get him to a veterinary. Run
down to the road and see if there's a
car in sight"
There was car, and when Evans
stopped it, two men came charging
up the bank. Jane gave the dog into
the arms of one of them. you'll
have to go with them, Evans" she
said and wrapped herself more
closely in her cape. ''There are sew
eral doctors at Rockville. You'd bet
ter ask the stationmaster about the
veterinary"
1t was late when Evans came to
Castle Manor with his dog in his
arms. Rusty was comfortable and
he had wagged grateful tail. The
pain had gone out of his eyes and
the veterinary had said that in a
few days the wound would heal.

make you love me, Jane" There
was a hint of his old masterful-
ness-and she was thrilled by it.
She withdrew her hand and stood
up. "Then Tn-pray-that you
get back"
"Do you mean it, Janey?"
81 mean it, Evans"
''Then pray good and hard, my
dear, for I'm going to do it,"
They smiled at each other, but it
was a sacred moment.
The things they did after that
were rendered unimportant by the
haze of enchantment which hung
over Evans revelation. No man
can tell woman that he loves her,
no woman can listen, without a

aisle for Jane. "I'u walk down with

They walked a little way in si-
lence, then he said, Rusty is COM

rapidly, so that it was hard to keep

POOR WOMAN DIES
 LEAVING WEALTH
Lived Frugally, But Law yer Finds Fortune Hidden
 in Safety Box

Chicago, Nov. 25.-(UP).-Mrs. Janet Lincoln, widow of a retired real estate broker, died of Q lung ailment Nov. IS at the age of 56. She had lived frugally since the death of her husband year ago and had paid relatives only $5 8 week for room and board because she said she was too poor to pay more.
 Her attorney, James R. Glass, and representatives of the state inherit ance tax office opened her safety deposot box yesterday. In 1t they found $275, 900 in bank note sand $l,000 and $500 denomination, a book showing a $5,000 checking &C., count, and a book for a $3,000 5av- ings account--a total of $287 300.
 Glass said Mrs. Lincoln's husband, Willis, who died in August. 1888. had operated only a small broker age firm and had had a small in- tcrest in a Rockford, H., amuse- ment park.
 After his death she went to Los Angeles where her sister, Mrs. Rita Stedtman, lives. She returned to Chicago last September. She told relatives she had little money.
 Glass said he and relatives couldn't explain the fortune. He said Lincoln and his wife defaulted on mortgage on a $l96 900 i6- apartment building two years age which they could have kept by pay ment of $l6,000. He doesn't know whether Lincoln knew his wife had the fortune.
 "It's a mystery where 1t came from and how long she had it." he said,
