THE CHIEF FALLS ASLEEP.
'Well, well, well, if there Isn't the
Chief of the Forest. He's just the same
old slow-poke," said Hammer, the Flick
er. "I didn't suppose you were any
where about. How do you happen to
be coming up here?"
"I was going to find out for Jack
the Rabbit what that sound was. You
know Jack is a very curious fellow
and he is never satisfied till he knows
all that there is to be known, so! when
he heard you, Hammer, he couldn't
wait till he knew who it was." said the
chief.
Hammer was a handsome fellow. He
had a black crescent across his breast,
and was spotted underneath. His wings
were bright yellow on the underside.
The top of his head was gray, and
just at the back there was a band of
bright red. He was larger than Jerry,
the Jay, and he didn't make such a
fuss about things either.
"How did you happen to be here?"
asked Hammer of Jack, the Rabbit.
"You don't often come over to visit
Mr. Chuck, that's the reason I ask."
"That's all very true," said Jack,
"but there are times when I come to
see him very quickly and I don't wait
to knock at the door either. I just
go right m pell-mell and trust to his
good disposition to let me stay a while."
Jack chuckled and shook his head. He
took it all as a joke for it was never

Dependability in tools and
hardware is what real work
men look for and appreciate.
The carpenter depends upon
his tools to help him do good
work and save labor and time
to make more nnoney. That
is why he buys tools here.
It's the same with builders
they know that locks, latches,
hinges' and other building
hardware of dependable qual
ity will give many more years
of service and satisfaction
than poor grades, and that
it's well worth the little dif
ference in price. Our goods
are carefully selected that's
why you can depend upon
their quality.

couldn't stand very much talking with
out falling off to sleep. "That's the

INGROWN TOE NAIL
TURNS OUT ITSELF
A few dropr of "Outgo" upon the
skin surrounding . the ingrowing nail
reduces inflammation and pain and
so toughens the tender, sensitive skin
underneath the toe nail, that it can
not penetrate the flesh, and the nail
turns naturally outward almost over
night.
"Outgro" is 'a harmless, antiseptie
manufactured for chiropodists. How

THE NEW HOME.
"Our house is just the other. side Qf
that hill," said Jane to . her new sister-in-law,,
as the car sped along ' the
road. "And although it's not the grand
est place in the world, specially to any
one who has been raised in the city,
I'm sure you'll like it, Cherry." '
"I'm sure that I shall, Jane," Cherry
answered cheerily,- "and I think -this
country is awfully pretty. Mm! Neddy,
look at that lovely apple orchard, do,"
pointing to an orchard,, riotous with
pinky-whiteb lossoms, which scented
the air for miles around. "And, oh.
that cunning little cottage, right on
the edge of it. What a perfect spot to
live in."
"Betty Hopkins and her husband
live there," Jane explained. "They
have been married about two months,
now, . and are still honeymooning.
Jerry couldn't take off to go on a truly
honeymoon, you see, for the crops had
to be tended to and all that, but I think
they have been very happy right in
their little cottage. And the orchard
has been a constant bridal bouquet at
their doorstep."
"There's Betty now, over there, in a
pink dress and sunbonnet," called Ned.
"Oh, Betty bride," he shouted in greet
ing to the slip of a girl, who was bend
ing over . a rose bush solicitously.
"Here we are; come and meet Cherry."
The girl 1 straightened up, and wiping
her hands on her. gingham apron,- she
came running down the path to where
the auto stood puffing and- panting.
She gave Cherry a quick smile of
welcome and squeezed her . two hands
warmly, as she told her how glad, she
was to have her come to live with
them in Wellsburg.
"I know that you'll love it here, with
us all, and you won't need to wear
those any more, either," she said laugh,
ing and pointing to Cherry's gloves.
"My, it seems ages since I had on a
pair of them. Never could get : used
to wearing gloves again, I'm sure. My
hands are a sight, I know, spreading
out two sun-kissed paws ruefully, then
with a low laugh of happiness, she as
sured them that she didn't care a little
bit, even if the sun had up and changed
her hands from w'-ite to brown. They
felt better so, and Jerry kissed them
every night, and told her they were
the dearest hands in all the world.
Wasn't that enough for any bride?
Then with a last greeting to Cherrv,
she ran back to her gardening and the
car once more sped on towards tha
Randell home.

The big, white house stood on the
outskirts of the little town, a very big
house, it seemed to Cherry, with bright
green shutters, the kind she had al
ways loved most, and a large garden,
which at that moment was full of old
fashioned flowers and flaming plants.
The car drew up with a flourish; and
a little lady in lavender arrived at the
front gate, just as Edward swung his
bride down to the ground, then with
a tender look in his eyes, bent over
and took his mother in his arms.
Mrs. Randell reached up on tiptoes
and kissed her tall boy many times, a
tear, trembled in her eye as she turned
and held out her arms to Cherry and
bade her long life and happiness in ther
midst. Such was the home-coming cf
Edward and his bride.
