Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

ny 1nOhN1oN W. DOhOESSs
Such racket as there was way over
in the Green Forest, where Buster
Bear was walking round and round
the tall tree in the top of which
Prickly Porky the Porcupine had
found refuge! Blacky the Crow had
called every relative within hearing
and that crowd of crows was making
noise enough to drive any one crazy.
Sammy Jay was adding his voice,
and you know Sammy's voice is
harsh and loud when he is excited.
Of course, everybody within hear
ing knew that something interest,"
ing and exciting was going on in
that particular place and hurried
over to see what it all meant.
Chatterer the Squirrel was one OF
the first to arrive, and at once be-
came quite as excited as the others.
Then one by one other little people
crept up and hid where they could
watch. Granny and Reddy Fox
were there So was Old Man Coyote.
Billy Mink hurried over from the
Laughing Brook. Bobby Coon, who
that very day had crawled out of
his hollow tree to see if Mistress
Spring had arrived, stole over to a
place where he could remain hidden
and still see all that was going on.
Even timid little Whitefoot the
Woodmouse was peeping out from
a little hole under the roots of big
tree.
Now all the little people in fur
excepting Chatterer the Red Squir-
rel took care to keep out of Buster
Bears sight. Chatterer, knowing
that Buster Bear couldn't catch him
in the treetops, was as bold and
saucy as he always is. He jumped
from tree to tree, all the time call
ing Buster Bear names and being
as impudent as only red squirrel
can be. Buster didn't get so much
as a glimpse of any of the other
fur coated folks, but he knew well
enough they were there and that
they were laughing at him. This
didn't make HIM feel any better
natured. On The contrary, it an
gered him. But there wasn't any
thing he could do about it, so he
just kept on walking round and
round, stopping to look up every
now and then at Prickly Porky and
growing.
BY and by the noise that the
crows and Sammy Jay and Chat
terer were making began to make
him nervous. 1t popped into his
head that there might be a hunter
with a terrible gun somewhere in
the Green Forest, and were this
so he would be sure to come over
to find out what all the excitement
was about. Buster began to grow
anxious. Little by little common
sense began to exert itself. 1t sud-
denly struck him how foolish he
had been in threatening to stay
there until Prickly Porky had to
come down. He remembered what
he should have remembered in the
first place, that Prickly Porky could
get enough to eat right up where he
was. He hated to give up after his
threat, and so kept on walking round
and round a long time after he real
lied how foolish he was. At last
he could stand the noise no longer
and with final threat to get Prickly
Porky sometime, he started of
through the Green Forest.

she were a child, mind Wen have no chat

She was so angry that she could not speak
Blaines telephone hung up with good crash
She found herself leaning against the wall and
weeping like a soft. soggy, helpless fool. She
could not tell what was wrong with her. The
pain kept coming from an unexpected direc-
ton; bewilderment was descending on her
brain. though already she told herself that she
knew everything that she needed to know.

she was not surprised that the dog growled
at her from the middle of the floor and that
the bed had not been occupied She hurried
to the study downstairs and opened the safe.
The necklace was gone. She did not try to
discover the other losses.
She went slowly out into the hall with her
brain spinning. The far off voice Of the An

she had brought the thief home to Annesley
House An intensely practical core of her mind
could foresee district attorneys assistant

keep on gnawing at her until at last the
ghostly truth stirred up, and poor. dead

the world Of news.

redoubled darkness in her mind. She was
commencing to forget where she and
what led her She had a vague sense that
she was calling out the name of Ruth Allen
and that she was sinking through shadows
like stone into the black sea, or like evil
into long oblivion.
Ruth Allen heard the fall and Weakened.
Terrified, she found Mrs Annesley lying face
down with the key just beyond her ingertips.
II was hard to lift the loose weight of even
that small body but she managed to stretch
the old woman on her bed. The face had

first steps Of reviving Mrs. Annesley. then
caught up a telephone and talked briefly to
Or John Lancaster He would come instantly
There still was no color in the face Of
Margaret Annesley but a somewhat less
faccid look suggested that a ghost of life
might be returning She got her TO drink a
bit of hot coffee until it brought a bubbng
groan of protest.
Julia kept steadily at work trying to bring
warmth back to the cold withered body. She
worked hard at the task but she said to

It struck Ruth Allen-as bullet strikes
that there was truth in this. And then Dr.
Lancaster arrived The look of Margaret An
nesey stopped him short. He stood for an
eloquent part of a second in the doorway.
After that he got quickly to his patient with
a stethoscope The girl watched him silently.
Lancaster stood up and looked at her.
I'm sorry. my dear" he said.
He drew handkerchief from the breast
pocket of his coat and touched it to her face.
She was not aware that the tears had been
running
There's not much use troubling Margaret

she ought to have one more chance to speak

One could not tell by his voice or his smile
how he felt the loss; only his eyes were
empty. Ruth remembered the key then. AS

Art Gallery Construction
DRAWINGS on Exhibition

Drawings showing stages in the
construction of the National Gal
lery of Art are on exhibition in
the central ground floor gallery of
the buildings More than 100 draw
ings have been selected from the
1855 submitted by the architects,
Daniel Paul Higgins and the late
John Russell Pope, both Of New
York.
The first group Of drawings, made
In 1886, convey the general scheme
of the architects for the building,
then slated to be erected on the
Jefferson Memorial site. A second
group show studies for a building
to be placed on the Mall. Studies
for the interior of the building,
made from 1887 to 1899, are hung
in sequence. Comparative studies
show the relationship of the gallery
to the Archives Building and the
National Museum.
Also shown are designs for the
gallery without its low dome. These
were prepared at the request Of
the Commission Of Fine Arts when
working plans of the present design
were already under way, but were
never adopted.
