MR. WEASEL HEA RS GODD NEWS
'.'Tinker Bob, Tinker Bob, where are
you at?
Come to me, come to me, quicker than
scat."
This was the song of Bob White as he
went to the King's palace. Bobbie stays
in the forest all Winter, that is he stays
close to the forest, and he has heard
that Tinker Bob is going to take a long
jouuney. Bob White is a friend and
doesn't want the King to go away till
ho. can have a long talk with him about
certain important things.
"What will you have Bob White?"
aaked the King of the Forest as he
heard this fellow going through the
forest calling at the top of his voice. "I
am not so far away."
"O King. I want you to come to see
where I live before you go away on the
long journey I have heard about. You
see I have had trouble every Winter
with the children of Red Fox and Mr.
Weasel and the Hunter. It keeps me
busy trying to keep them out of the
way of those who would destroy them."
"Well Bobby, tell me where you are
planning on living this Winter?"
."I'm now living in the Hunter's corn
field and if lie doesn't take his corn into
the barn I will have a good place till
lied Fox linds out where I am then he
will be there. Will you come over to see
us?"
Tinker Bob decided to go to see Bob
White and his family. He finds them in
the cornfield hiding behind a shock of
corn. It was a line place for them so
long as Mr. Weasel didn't find it out
but when he does find it out he will be
there in the middle of the night.
"I'll toll you what to do," said the
King. "You and Mrs. Bob White go over
:o the place where Mr. Weasel lives
nd begin to talk about where you are
ioing to live and speak about living in
ihe forest near the river, over by the
swamp. When he hears you he will say
lo Red Fox that there is where they can
(ijid a good feast and they will never
:hink of going to the Hunter's cornfield
:o look for you."
Well if there is anyone in all of the
"I think this swamp would be a good
place to live this winter."
forest that wants to do just what the
King tells them to do it is Bob White.
He took Mrs. Bob White and went to
the swamp where Mr. Weasel lives and
there they began to talk loudly. One
said: "I think this swamp would be a
good place to live this Winter." The
other answered: "Yes, I think we will
just bring our children over here and
stay about this swamp for there are so
many places lo hide here that no one
can nna us.
Mr. Weasel was the first one to hear
this .conversation and he listened care
fully chuckling to himself to think that
he knew all of the hiding places in the
swamp and would 'soon have them all
killed off for his Winter's supply of
meat. "I'll go at once to tell Red Fox,"
said he to himself and he sneaked away.
Next: The King Hears Mr. Weas
el's Story.
THE "YOUNGER SET."
The "younger set," oh, the "younger
set,"
We hear of them each day.
With their Airedale pups and their
horse show cups
And their razzy, jazzy way.
Oh, the swagger pairs and their love
affairs
And their gossips at the Ritz;
Society news sets forth their views
In entertaining bits.
Society's pet is the "younger set,"
With its "toddle," "jazz" and
"crawl,"
With its "debs" and "subs" and its
gay flub-dubs,
. And its weird Tuxedo drawl.
Society's game is a hard way to
fame
. When the staid ol fogies fret.
It's a strenuous fad. and I've always
been glad
I'm not in the "younger set."
Marat, the Trench revolutionist, was
killed while taking a bath. The
Russian revolutionists are perfectly
safe.
"Do not be a litterer," says Mayor
Hjlan. We hope this does not refer
to some of our literary people.
They "say they are selling gas at a
flat rate in New York, but what if you
don't live in a flat?
IT'S OLD, BUT THIS IS A DUL.L
DAY.
Went to a show last night, but I got
a dog's seat K-9.
How's that? A. J. Newman.
THE HAPPY END. '
Two hours later Ned was sitting with
the happiest expression on his face that
had been seen there for days, alternate
ly questioning his mother and Miss
Laura, in spite of the fact that they
told him every thing there was to know
several times over. Miss Laura had also
told him about the discovery of his
letter in Arline's hands. She told him in
private when she had called him into the
kitchen to help her with some pesky
thing or other. And as she had hoped,
he had promised never to let the story
go any farther than to his wife. He
gritted his teeth hard when he heard
of Arline's perfidy and bewailed the fact
that there was not an airplane to Chi
cago that .very minute. Over and over
he read the "sweetest letter ever writ
ten" out in Miss Laura's kitchen until
his mother's voice called them both
made him thrust it into his deepest
pocket.
"To think that she still loves me,
to think that my darling wrote me
these words," he muttered to himself.
"Miss Laura, I'm going to take the night
train. Give me that new address, the
one she told you never to let me know,
and wait for us. That's all I have to
say."
And that same evening. Ned left
Wellsburg on the fastest train, yet to
his way of thinking, the very slowest
in the world.
At noon the next day he was walk
ing up one of the busiest streets, his
arms laden with bundles for his lady
bird, jewels, candies, flowers, every
thing that he could lay hands on, as
offerings to her. Suddenly when passing
by a large shop he happened to look
up casually, and his heart nearly burst
with joy, for there, sitting a little back
from the window was his beloved
Cherry.
In another moment he had cleared
the space between them, and regardless
of the many customers surrounding her
at the moment, threw his arms round
her and kissed her over and over again.
"Ned," screamed Cherry, when she
caught sight of him striding towards
her, "Ned!"
"Sweetheart," he whispered, as he
took her to his heart.
Monsieur Marcy came bustling up at
that moment and advanced towards
Ned with a question in his dark eyes.
This was unseemly conduct for the
showroom of a well-known establish
ment. Ned. all undaunted, explained that
Cherry was his wife and he had come
to call for her. That was all.
Beaming happily they left the shop
some few minutes later and walked to
a waiting taxi. Here Ned deposited his
bundles and his Cherry and gave the
order "Plainsvills." .
What took place within that taxi may
easily be imagined. Ned kissed the
little hands of his wife dozens of times
and she in turn told him of her complete
love for him as they flew along.
At his story of the great wrong
Arline had done her Cherry was silent.
It was surprising to her that a girl
could be so cruel and wicked and would
want to try to break two loving hearts.
. "Ned, darling, maybe she didn't know
that we really loved each other as
much as we do, maybe."
"Maybe nothing," answered Ned,
stopping her words with passionate
kisses. "Let's stop thinking of Arline.
We've lost too many happy hours
through her already, sweetheart, and
we have to get your mother into her
Sunday go to meeting clothes and onto
that night train for Wellsburg before
sundown. Day after tomorrow will be
Christmas, darling, our first together.
Maybe you knoAv now what that means
to me?" as he bent and hugged her to
him again.
" 'Deed I do, Neddy. And, oh, to think
that next Christmas there'll be a lit
tle Neddy to watch it come in with
us. I feel so happy, heart's dearest. Hold
me to you again."
When the Chicago train pulled into
Wellsburg station next day there was
a noisy group of its citizens gathered
there to welcome the returning pair.
A shout went up as soon as they caught
sight of Edward Randall standing on
the platform with his arm round his
little wife, alternately smiling adoringly
into her husband's eyes and at the
goodly collection of friends waiting to
greet them.
One white-haired lady bustled through
and was the very first to reach the
steps as the train came to a stop. She
threw her arms- round Cherry and
kissed her over and over again. The
miracle had come to pass!
"Cherry, daughter," she cried, 'for
give your old mother and never stop be
lieving that she loves you more than
words can tell," said Mrs. Randall as
she kissed and cried over the small form
that smiled so sweetly back at her&
"Indeed I will, mother," answered
Cherry as she kissed her mother all
over again. "And, oh, how good it is to
be home again!"
"Yes, and to think that in a few
weeks we'll be in our very own home
darling," Ned whispered in his ear as he
stood watching his wife proudly.
"Dearest man in the world," she
cooed back at him. "King of my heart,
I'll never, never leave you again."
THE END.
Even the man who goes around all
day with his mouth shut and his ears
open may enjoy sleeping with his
mouth open and his ears closed.
