! I '" (' i s 1 v 1 I I 'if 14 3"Tinker BoB'S byCarlysle H. DR. COON SUGGESTS A TRIAL . Red Fox began to think they were making fun of him because of their continued whispering and he didn't, like it. It was not hi.i fault that he was lift ed into the air and then dropped into the Lake. That was enough to frignten anyone in the forest. lie could say no more than that which hel had said even though they did call Dr. Coon. "I am not pleased with the way my friends are doing," he said to Chief Porky, who seemed to be the only one that did not whisper. "They are afraid you are frightened so badly that ycu cannot tell the truth and they want to wait till Dr. Coon comes to examine you. I think you will be all right after a little. Now can't you tell me while the others are whis pering how it was that you got into the air. I think you are all right only a little puzzled." "Chief Porky, I tell you the truth as sure as I'm a foot from the ground, I don't know how I got into the air. I was sniffing about a tree in the neigh borhood of the Lake and suddenly I was picked up and taken out over the Lake and I struggled and struggled to get away, dropped into the lake and I was frightened and so I ran away here" Red Fox was careful not to say any thing about Longneck or his children. While they waited for Dr. Coon to nrrive, Major Pole Cat came along. He had a smile on hi3 face that was as Jong as his whiskers would allow. "Well well " he said, as he saw Red Fox sit ting with his legs crossed, "you are tonv; sprinter. I believe you are the fastest runner In the forest. I never saw you run so fast as you did today. How "did you like thai trip in the air anyway." "Now what do you know about it, Major?" asked Red Fox. "It seems that every creature in the forest has seen me today. I have done no one harm and I can't see for my life why so many are anxious about me." Suddenly without any announcement ON MEETING A FRIEND. So we've met once more. How wonderful Is your voice; and it seems To "ring in my ears; like a man who dreams Df a wonderland in a distant sea Bounded by naught save Purity, And waking, still dreams; and before his eyes There always appears this paradise So your voice brings back the memory Of days gone by when you and I Lived in the land of minstrelsy. So the tender past comes back once more, Rushing from out the farthermose shore Of Oblivion; and brings with it Friendship and Love and joyous Wit. It brings back the hope that I thought was dead, The joy of Life I thought had fled, Ne'er to return, though I could not forget, ind are now ever present once more we have met. Joseph G. Tannenbaum. Fatty's million-dollar smile is now laving the test of its life. pj Just ft Arrived ilf A Shipment U of Durable Low Prices Metal garbage cans are the only safe" and convenient way to take care of ashes.

Dr. Coon arrived with Johnny Squirrel following closely. "Well, of all things," he exclaimed. "What qn earth has happened tut Red Fox that he should be in this condition? Run out your fiery tongue, sir," he demanded, "till T see your stomach, is 3,11 right." Tied Fox did as Dr. Coon requested. "That's right. Well, I see nothing wrong there only your heart beats a little fast from some kind of excitement I think Chief Porky there is nothing wrong with his health. I would sug gest thai you hold a trial for him and bring in the witnesses." "That's just what we shall do," said the forest chief. "Major you may round up all of the witnesses and we shal have a trial." Major went about hia work of rounding up the witnesses with a wise smile on his face. Next A Strange Voice is Heard.

Lives of bank clerks oft' remid us If we flee like common crooks, We should always leave behind us Finger prints upon the books. One reason, perhaps that Friend Far mer is having a harder time each year to make the old eighty pay is the chang. ing styles in farm hands. Time was when a farm hand, sound of wind and limb, could be had for ten bucks a month and board. Now the feller wants an eight-hour day, sixty cents an hour and time and a half for overtime, and the right to take the farmer's prettiest daughter riding in the family Ford. EXEMPT FIREMEN.

Also when the divorce suit is filed it is strong circumstantial evidence that the honeymoon has ended.

The day of Ned's departure for Chi cago ound Cherry unusually down hearted: The prospect of being alone with his family for two weeks, possibly more, was not the most cheerful one in the world to her. Especially under present conditions. Ned and she had been estranged ever since the night of the party, for both were too proud to- eoncede an inch to the other. Consequently two miserable young people met each other every ev ening dined and sat together under a cloud which increased rather than oth erwise, as the days went by. By tacit agreement, they carefully avoided the tender subject and in this manner they at least kept from openly quarrelling. The night before he left Ned found it most difficult to keep his arm from straying around his wife's slender waist. And Cherry in turn had to fight desper ately with herself to keep from drop ping her tired head on Ned's shoulder and bursting into tears. What they both did was to sit up stiff and remote talking about everyday things which were really of small inter est to either one of them. The real is sues were relegated to the darkest cor ners of their minds for the nonce. Cherry had generously offered to go to .the office every afternoon, after her own work was through, to go through the correspondence there, for her hus band, but Ned had waved this sugges tion aside with a thank you, explain ing that Arline Bates would be back be fore he was and the rest could easily be attended by one of the men around the place. This rebuff, kindly put as it was, hurt Cherry to the quick. She felt far re moved from her husband, and wonder ed miserably whether they would ever be boon companions again. Ned seemed so self-sufficient of late. He moped so much, and was in no way the man with whom she had fallen in love. Mrs. Randall bustled in and out of the rooms the afternoon of her son's departure bringing in piles of clean The Qua VSersiffMh Of Distinctive TOURING The five-passenger touring car i3 of very distinctive design though neither in the least radical or "freakish."

OF clothes for Cherry to pack in his suit case, and giving bits of -advice here and there in a way that annoyed her daughter exceedingly. "Here's a pile of socks I have just darned for Ned," she announced as she, entered their room for the sixthstimo in an hour bearing in her arnisj. the aforementioned articles and layiDg them on the bed. "Thank you mother, you're a brick. Don't know what we'd do without you," said Ned cheerfully as he buttoned his collar. Mrs. Randall patted him on his head and smiled. And Cherry set her teeth hard to keep the resentful words from popping out. She felt that the remark as well as the darned socks were a veiled reproach to her and her methods. A good wife always kept her husbands socks mended. And above all, good Wives were content to stay at home and attend to the thousand and one de tails of a house rather than those of the business world. Only Cherry her self knew how often she and her mother-in-law- had had words on this sub ject. (To be continued.) PATRICK KYLE RE-ELECTED. Boston, Sep.t 29. Patrick J.
