Bedtime Story
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Farmer Browns Boy, with Bowser
the hound at his heels, was tramp
ing through the Green Forest on
his way to the little sugar-house
among the maple trees. Farmer
Browns Boy was happy. 1t always
makes him happy to be in the Green
Forest, and it makes him especially
happy to be sugaring That was
what he was on his way to the little
sugar-house for now. He had
busy day before him. He had to
tap all the sugar naples and hang
all the sap pals. The sap was run
ming in the trees, and there was
no time to lose. It meant hard
work, but Farmer Browns Boy likes
hard work, especially this kind of
hard work.
AS he approached the little sugar.
house he saw right away that the
door was open. Must be I was
careless and didn't latch that door,"
said he. Il guess the wind must
have blown it open"
But when Farmer Browns Boy
looked inside the little sugar-house
he gave a long whistle of surprise.
MY goodness" he exclaimed. 1T
looks as if there had been lorna
do in Here. 1t must be that Buster
Bear has been here again"
1t certainly did look as if a tor
nado had been in there. Sap pals
had been knocked down; they were
scattered all over the floor. Things
were upset generally.
Farmer Browns Boys first thought
was that Buster Bear might still be
in there. But he soon decided that
he wasn't. Then Farmer Browns
Boy went in and began to pick up
things. Presently he happened to
think of his old sweater which he
had left there. He would take his
coat off and put that old sweater on.
In this he could work more comfort
ably.
But the old sweater was not lying
on the bench where he had left it.
1t had disappeared. He couldn't
see it anywhere. That's mighty
funny" muttered Farmer Browns
Boy as he went around picking up
sap pals. 1T is mighty funny what
has become of that old sweater. I
wonder if a two-legged bear in
stead of four-legged bear has been
in here and has done all this mis-
chief just to make trouble for me
By and by, as he stopped to pick
up sap pail in the darkest corner
of the little sugar-house, he spied
a dark mass and instantly guessed
that it was his sweater. He reached
out and grasped and then dropped
it with a yell. Jimmy crickets!"
he exclaimed, and held up his hand
to the light. Hanging from one
finger were two of Prickly Porky's
sharp little spears. He pulled them
out and clapped his finger in his
mouth, for it was bleeding.

As was stated last week, the word
BELLY is neither immoral nor vul-

She wants to be very gay and
knows a great many people and
not care so very much for any
of them. / love her-but she
went out of my life when / was
small and that hurt has healed"
Then why-why this hostile
feeling? he studied her. you've
been trying to conceal it-but
right now you're biting your lips
and there a sort of despair in
your eyes. Your father is not
old-and you are young. You'll
have your own life-he'll be
alone"
HE is my life" Rosemary said.
That's absurd. if you'll par
don my rudeness. You're-how
old? Twenty maybe? Life is
ahead of you-romance. adven-
ture-all the thrills. When it
comes rushing along you aren't
going to be thinking about. your
lonely old father-growing old
in an empty house. You're going
to be running down rosy path
with your arms open for all the
gifts before you, because that's
the way young women are made
and young men too. It's some
thing that goes back to the be-
ginning of time and not all the
filial devotion on earth can
change it. When you fall in
love"
Il shan't. Ever" Rosemary
spoke soberly.
But the young man across the
table had only an indulgent smile
for her solemnity.
You think you won't. But
you're very young yet, my dear
girl"
I'm not so young nor so naive
that men have not made love to

The race was slow and her arm
wearied from holding the glasses.

the turn. The return was even
slower and people grew bored and
began wandering away, she
could hear cars starting. But she
would not leave her post till the
Daisy came home. Jeff's boat
was so far in the lead now that
the result seemed certain. Even
Kehoe had given up and gone
back to shore in his stub nosed
old crab boat.
Rosemary turned her glasses
ashore and moved the lenses
slowly along the line of parked
cars. The Comtesse was not there.
The space where it had stood.
when she had glanced back be-
fore, was now empty, So the
Sergeant had not even waited
for the end of the first race. AL

~ when at last the Daisy came
coasting in, sail slack and ropes
sagging. The air was heavy and
hot and breathless and Rose
mary's hair was damp, as she
waited at the end of the dock for
Jeff and David Patrick to come
ashore.
Jeff was sweaty and grumpy.
Winning a race like that. he
grumbled, was about as credit
able as beating a cripple on
crutches.
But you won. It's official. 1t
counts" Rosemary argued.
Not with me-" Jeff said.
You're supposed to come up to

Mrs. Patrick seem to have gone

"What-you aren't sailing to-

Rosemary had her answer ready,
keeping her head high, I'm be-
ing official today"
Somebody rowed her out 70 the
float and somebody else found her
a camp stool, but she declined 1t
gracefully.

and swing my feet"
She saw the Daisy's sail go up,
swiftly and eXpertly. bright new
canvas. with great red numerals
painted on il. The graceful,
whitewpged boats swung out.
one by one, as quietly and deli
cately as moths lighting on the
water Rosemary kept her eyes
front. She would not look back
toward the shore. where cars
were already parking in a long
line. She remembered with lit
tie grimace, that she had forgot
ten TO give her father her keys.
Mrs. Patrick would have TO watch
the regatta from the high, old
fashioned seat of the Comtesse.
The sun mounted and Rose
mary felt her nose singing and
the triangle at her throat where
her shirt opened. She pulled the
inadequate brim of her MILDLY
hat down as far as she could. The
other people on the float were
wiping their brows and scanning
the sky, hopefully looking for
wind as the score of boats sided
slowly out to the course.
The gun barked and through
her glasses Rosemary could fairly

to sail that thoroughbred of

something more than timber and

A vagrant current of air rip
pied the surface of the water and
instantly the Daisy's sail filled
and she had slipped ahead of the
others as effortlessly as a tern
in flight Rosemary found her
self jumping up and down on her
toes and cheering eXcitedly.
The men on the float looked at
her with indulgent smiles, but a
long figure nearby was cheering
hoarsely too. in a sort of exultant
croak. Rosemary looked around
into the flushed face of Corporal
kehoe.
She'll beat 'em all, easy" he
mumbled. somewhat embarrassed

And instantly after, came the
rain. Rosemary ran from room
to room, closing the windows, but
the deluge was so sudden and so
violent that her dress and slip
pers were wet before she had
forced the last easement shut.
In the room below she could
hear George pattering heavily
about, shutting out the rain, and
then the quick crash of the front
door as George let David Patrick
in.
He was standing at the foot of
the stairs when Rosemary went
down. His hair was plastered
down wetly, his sleeves were
soaked and he laughed as he
scrubbed the rain from his hair
