thought Reddy. "That little twig
wouldn't have pulled that feather
out if she had merely brushed
against it in walking past. She
was moving fast when she hit that
twig and she hit 1t hard. She was
plunging down under the snow for
the night. That's what she was
doing. If it hadn't showed a little
in the night there would be hole
right here somewhere where she
went in. And I believe that's the
very spot now"
Reddy was looking at little de-
preston in the snow, just such a
place as might have been made by
falling snow almost but not quite
filling hole in the smooth surface.
It was right close to that little twig
with the brown feather clinging to
it. Reddy grinned. That's where
she went in all right. There isn't
shadow of doubt of that. She
hasn't come out this morning. If she
had I would see the place. If she

Reddy sat down in the snow and
studied the situation, trying to make
up his mind which was the most
likely direction for Mrs. Grouse to

Reddy took a few quick steps and
then made a long spring. Just as
he did so something happened.
There was regular explosion in the
snow in front of him. The fine
snow was thrown in every direction.
It covered Reddy Fox. It got in his
eyes and blinded him for a minute.
At the same time there was q roar,
a most startling roar. It was al
most as II mine had been ex-
ploded right under Reddyis nose.
But it wasn't a mine. It wasn't
really truly explosion at all. That
roar was made by stout wings, and

where is she?" AS Reddy said this
he studied the surface of the snow
and little perplexed frown gath
cred on his face.
1--WE got just one Jump in which
to catch her." he muttered. "On
that one Jump depends whether

wish I could see through that snow.
The last time I tried to catch her
in bed she fooled me. I found where
she had gone into the snow and

snow flying so. Mrs. Grouse had
simply decided that it was getting
late and was high time that she
should be looking for her breakfast.
So she had burst out of the snow
just at the very instant that Reddy
had sprung, which was as lucky for
her as it was unlucky for Reddy.
That's what comes Of waiting
too long," muttered Reddy as he
shook the snow from his coat and
snapped his jaws angrily. "If I had

have taken when she plunged under
the snow the night before. The
longer he sat the more undecided
he became. Also the hungrier he
grew, and the more he felt that
he simply must catch Mrs. Grouse
this time. Finally he made up his
mind that the wisest thing to do
would be to steal forward just a wee
bit and then make a long jump and
trust to luck that he would land
on Mrs. Grouse.
Just As he started to do this he
saw just little movement in the

1t meant. Mrs. Grouse was there.

Bedtime Stories

Reddy Fox stood as still as if he
couldn't move. Yes, sir, he stood
just as still as that. Reddy was
doing some very fast thinking
and he didn't want to move until
he had settled in his own mind
just how and where to move. You
see, he knew that a mistaken move
might upset all the hopes of good
breakfast which that little brown
feather clinging to twig just in
front of him had aroused.

Thut Body Of Yours
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.
X-RAY IN EAR CASES.

From time to time and from diff
ferent parts of the world, physicians
have been reporting excellent results
in the treatment of chronic catarrh
and deafness by X-ray. The X-rays
have been particularly helpful in
old or chronic cases of catarrhal
deafness. Failure to obtain results
by X-rays, as reported by some
physicians, is attributed to not Civ
ing the proper dosage at the right
distance from sinuses and ears.
1t is interesting to learn that in
acute disease of e the middle ear,
which so often follows or accom-
panies diseases of childhood, treat
ment by X-rays is now being used
successfully.
Dr. A. H. Dowdy, in Radiology,
states that the use of X-rays in
these acute middle-ear cases does
not bring about the cure so much
by killing the organisms causing the
infection, but because X-ray treat
ment increases the number of white
corpuscles in the blood And it Is
these white corpuscles that fight and
kill the harmful organisms, thus
bringing about cure.
Further, the sooner the X-ray
treatment Is given, the sooner are
the results obtained One of the
reasons for the pain and distress
in middle-ear infection is the great
thickness of the pus. This thick
pus pushes against the surrounding
tissues, including the drum of the
ear, and causes the intense pain.
The X-ray treatment has the effect
of preventing the pus from becom-
ing SO thick: it becomes so thin
that it can readily drain from the
ear and thus relieve the pres
sure and pain. The little tube
eustachian-which carries air from
back of throat up to inner side of
ear drum is thus enabled to be-
come more widely open and some
of this thin pus drains out of the
middle ear into the eustachian tube
to throat and can be coughed out.
Also, If pus Is so thin and watery,
it can very readily drain out of ear
drum through small puncture or
opening.
DR.. Dowdy's concluding statement
is: "Roentgenotherapy (treatment
by X-rayS has been of distinct
value in cutting short acute Ca
tarrhal middle-ear infection (otitis
medal, and in lessening the neces-
sity for surgery in acute cases COM
plicated by mastoid infection.
1t is gratifying to know that X-ray
treatment may prevent an acute
case from becoming chronic, which
so often is followed by deafness or
hard hearing.

celebrate the birthday cs he--elt
OF her husband. OF any member Of
the family. because she does not
want her friends to think they
ought to bring a present In the
following letter. however. the sis
ter has a wei founded reason for
wanting to explain the birthday:
rs It in bad taste to invite
people to a birthday party for
oneself or a member OF ones fami-
ly7 That is. could they feel ex-
pected TO bring presents IL one
said frankly that this was a party
in honor of a birthday? I think
It would seem strange to our
friends IL ! were to give a party
for my sister without mentioning
the real reason. They might even
think we were to announce my
sisters engagement. because she
has been seeing a good deal of
one man lately. And this would
be the last thing in the world
that she would want to have hap
pen. He might rum And while
she may not az yet know whether
she likes him that much. she
certainly doesn't want him to run

To this, then, the only thing I
can suggest is to say the party
is for her birthday, but that you
are asking every one not to bring
a present. On the other hand,
why must you say it is a party
for your sister? When they see
the birthday cake and candles.
they will know then it is for her.
Smoking on the Street
Dear Mrs. Post: Does the in
creasing evidence of tolerance on
the part of people toward women
smoking cigarettes on the street
mean that this is to become an
accepted part of the American
scene?
Answer: I rather wonder how
intolerance could be shown? The
fact that few people are rude
enough to make public remarks
about others does not prove that
their opinion of these others Is
favorable. 1t is doubtful if any
one of taste considers the sight
of woman smoking on the street
either suitable or attractive.
