 She came back with her arms full. Andy unwrapped the pack ages, exclaiming over her choices.

 They were delighted as two children with the product Of their imagination. Carol could hear the cry of approval it would bring when Andy pulled it through the crowd at the party. They would al know that he had entered into the gaiety of -the occasion. They would see that he was whole hearted about 1t,
 But the more she thought of the party the more the idea of Q blue dress tempted her. That An- dy remembered the color of her old one was almost too good to be true.

 Faced with an uncertain future, she shouldn't buy it. But she did. It was tho only way to quiet that Inner urge to look lovely this once more. Lovely In blue.
 She did look lovely. When Bill came for her and Mary he stopped to admire the two Of them. He stared ct Carol, you're = different" he told her,
 She smiled md thanked him. she felt different. She had pushed the depressing business Of the store far down within her.

After being boiled in water for Q long time, meat falls to pieces and the substance which held the meat fibers together is dissolved in the water. This solution, when cooled, turns to jelly and it, in turn, is ordinary furniture glue when drled.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGE

Whitefoot the Wood Mouse had
spent the winter undisturbed in
Farmer Browns sugarhouse. He
had almost forgotten the meaning
of fear. He had come to look on
that sugarhouse as belonging to
him. 1t wasn't until Farmer
Browns Boy came over to prepare
things for sugaring that Whitefoot
got single real fright. The in
stant Farmer Browns Boy opened
the door, Whitefoot scampered down
under the pile of wood to his snug
little nest, and there he lay listen
ing to strange sounds. At last he
could stand it no longer, and crept
to a place where he could peep out
and see what was going on. 1t
didn't take him long to discover
that this great two-legged creature
was not looking for him, and right
away he felt better. After while
Farmer Browns Boy went away and
Whitefoot had the little sugarhouse
to himself again.
1t was that very night that
Prickly Porky got in and lost his
little spears in Farmer Browns
Boys sweater. Whitefoot saw the
whole performance. He had known
all about that old sweater and that
it was perfectly harmless. So at
first he couldn't understand Prickly
Porky's dreadful fright He himself
hod hnar frin1fanal hnponco
Prickly Porky was frightened. When
Prickly Porky had knocked down
the sap pals Whitefoot had bolted
for the safety of his little nest, and
when at length he ventured out
again, Prickly Porky was nowhere
to be seen and the door was wide
open. Whitefoot didn't like that
open door. 1t made him nervous.
There was nothing to prevent those
who hunt him from walking right
in.
So the rest of that night White
foot felt uncomfortable and anxious.
He felt still more anxious when
next day Farmer Browns Boy re-
turned and became very busy put
ting things to rights. Then Farmer
Brown himself came and strange
things began to happen. 1t became
as warm as in summer. You see
Farmer Brown had built a fire
under the evaporator. Whitefoot's
curiosity kept him at place where
he could peep out and watch all
fhat 6nnn uo Ea
Brown and Farmer Browns Boy
pour pals of sap into a great pan.
BY and by a delicious odor filled
the sugarhouse.
1t didn't take him a great while
to discover that these two-legged
creatures were so busy that he had
nothing to fear from them, so he
crept out to watch. He saw them
draw the golden sirup from one end
of the evaporator and fill shining
tin cans with it. Day after day
they did the same thing
AT night when they left and all
was quiet inside the sugarhouse,
Whitefoot stole out and found
delicious crumbs where they had
eaten their lunch. He tasted that
thick golden stuff and found it
sweet and good. Later he watched
them make sugar, and nearly made
himself sick that night when they
had gone home. for they had left
some of that sugar where he could
get at 1t. He didn't understand
these queer doings at all. But he
was no longer afraid.
