ANOTHER-FIA'CATCHER.
' When Tinker Bob's attention was
called away from Phoebe, he sawi Silky,,
the Monkey, talking with someone over
on the other side, of the river, Tne
King hurried over to see if it might be
one of the Forest Dwellers whom he
had not yet seen since his return from
the South. It might be because his
mind had been dwelling on him, . that
the first voice Tinker heard when -he
crossed the river was that of thebec:
Of course the King knew who itwas'
for Chebcc was the greatest fellow you
ever knew to bs always1 calling1 hi3 own.
name. Chebec! Chebec! Chebec; V he
repeated over and over, jerking his tail
with every note. He too would: now
and then dart into the air and snap at
something that the King or. Silky could
not see, as they looked up from the!
ground. J .
'How-do-you-do Chebec?" cried Tin
ker Bob. "I am. delighted to see you
back again. Are you going to build
a nest in the forest this year?" ' ;
"To be 'sure I am," replied Chebec,
as he darted after another f.y. "Mrs,
Chebec has built her nest in about this
same place for two or three years.id
no one could get her to go-anyvjre
else. She is looking for a place noHv
that she thinks no one will discover..
I suppose she ought to have some help
in locating a good place. But a long
time ago, O King, I learned that it was
wise not to have an opinion about some
things. If she ever finds the place
she wants, I suppose I'll help her build
a nest. I can tell you we are mighty
glad to b back here in the forest
again. It seems a long time sine a we
were here. We've made a journey from
the land farther South than where
Silky lived." ' "
"I just happened to see Mr. and Mrs.'
Phoebe. They belong to your, family
also. They already have a nest full
of eggs," taid Tinker Bob.
"The Phoebes are funny folks," said
Chebec, "they are the only members
of the family who can stand cold
weather. I never could see what

there was about cold weather to enjoy.
Then too, they always hang around
bridges, in fact they are the only ones
in. the . family who do not build their
nests in trees."
'You must be the smallest of them
all?" queried the King interestedly.
'.'Oh, yes I'm the smallest all right,
that's th 3. reason they call me the
Least Flycatcher. . But I f.y much
farther than Phoebe does. And anoth
er thing I want you to know is this, I
can 'catch as many bugs as any of
them Then he darted out after an
other fly.
Suddenly the sound of Mrs. ChebBc'3
voice was heard in the forest. "I will
have to leave you O King if you will
excuse me."
And away went Mr. Chebec to find
his mate.

If the movie reformers had their

most thrilling thing we could-see, "on
the screen would be husband and wife
seated at the opposite ends of a sofa,
hands neatly folded, and with their

between them. Doubtless the rules
would require the sofa to be not1 less
than six feet long, and the marriage
certificate would have to be clearly
legiwe at a distance of at least -one
hundred feet.

and a check from each of four acci

Do you think- I'd take a fractured
arm for that?
You know darned well I would.

GWENDA'S SCOOP.
In a few words, Gwenda did explain
to the men her cousin's accidental
presence in the studio, also the rela
tionship between herself and Fern,
and everything that she knew about
Natalie and her life. The largest de
tective smiled down at her reassuring
ly as she came to the end of her story
and said, "Sure, lady, we know all
about this one;-we've had her on our
hands several times already. She's been
getting the dope smuggled in to her,
and we ve been la
glers. This afternoon we rounded up
a gang of 'em, and now, here she is,
dead! She's better off, this way, too.
The husband's in St. Christopher's
hospital on Tenth street, and he'll be
well again in a week or so. The shot
only went through his left shoulder.
Take your cousin away from here and
well rectify the story, never -fear."
And so, after waiting a few minutos
more, to get the rest of the details
from one and another of them. Gwenda
gathered up her cousin and her note
book, and together the two girls hur
ried to the waiting taxi, and were
driven home.
Once home, she saw to it that Fern
lay down, and became quiet once more,
gave her a dose of spirits of am
monia, and soothed her completely, be
fore she started down - for the office
again.

everyone of his reporters on 'The Star'

he roared with laughter as he thought

Gwenda, still very much shaken,
now that everything was over, and her
cousin's name saved, dashed out to a
private telephone booth and called ud

for Fedya before she started her story.
She was told that he was doing well
