It Is the same everywhere, at the fash ionable resorts and on the farms. Every community has been touch ed and is responding nobly through its locul organizations. The moving picture folk pic tured abova are "knitting their bit." too. Not long ago they formed a knitting circle out the .

"The pantry shelves are full of mince pies," announced Ted Mouse one day. "That Is all very fine, Ted," said his brother Tim, "but Tabby is in the pantry, too. Get rid of her and your I story will sound not only Interesting but very good In our ears." I "She is a greedy old puss,", said an- I other brother. "She has all she wants to eat and still she begrudges us the little we get in the pantry, I wish we could scare her; I saw her jump I quick enough one day when the cream i pitcher tipped over. She was stealing cream ana she thought she was caught." "Why can't we get inside a pie?" said Ted Mouse. Ted Mouse's plan was hailed with glee by the other mice, and every mouse In the neighborhood was asked to be in the pantry that night. When they had all assembled, Ted Mouse told them they must poke their heads in the pies until there were enough mice to move a pie. "The little holes in the crust," he said, "will give you plenty of air. You must re main still until you hear me squeal, and then you will know Tabby has come in the pantry ,door; you must then begin to dance, and don't you dare run unless I give another loud squeak." They could hardly wait for the fun to begin, but Ted Mouse told them they would spoil It All If they did not obey orders, so into the pies they went, and remained very still until a squeak from. Ted started them 'all a-dancing. Tabby came in softly swinging her tail and looked about the pantry. At first she thought her eyes deceived her, and then her tail stood still, her ears stood up straight and her eyes looked -as if they would pop out, for along tho shelves were dancing pies. It did not Occur to Tabby hat all the little legs and feet looked very much like those of the mice. She only thought the pantry .must be haunted or she was dreaming. She meowed to see if she were asleep1 and backed toward the door. Just then she hit a pan standing by the flour barrel, and down it came with a clatter, and Tabby waited to : see no more; she was sure the pantry I was bewitched, and out she ran. Nor did Tabby stop in the kitchen; I she kept on, and down the cellar j steps she went, almost tumbling in her, haste. 1 Out 'through' the-1 broken window in! the cellar she flew, rather than j crawled, and out to the barn. Of . course, if she had given a backward j glance at the pantry shelf she would j have seen a funny sight, for when j the tinpan fell it sci.red Ted and all his brothers and neighbors. j Ted squeaked and all the mice ran, , the pies falling and breaking ail over j the pantry floor. Into the wall they went and behind barrels and boxes and waited, but nothing happened, I and after a while back went the mice to their feast, which lasted until broad daylight. Next morning cook viewed the pan try with dismay. "That Tabby cat is getting so she'd rather hunt barn mice," she Said. "I'll have to get some traps. What a sight this pantry is, to be sure! But the traps were not to be feared, and the mice held sway in the pantry long after, for Tabby could not be persuaded to stay- I p. the kitchen an other night. And so Ted Mouse's plan worked, for Tabby no longer bother them; and sometimes when cook sets a pie on the table to cool Tabby gives one look at it and runs. "What in the world Is the matter with Tabby?" cook will say. "She acts as if she expected these pies to jump at her," and that is just what she does expect, only cook does not know it.
