_ -- I Burgess Bedtime Stories By Thornton W. Burges* How Mrs. Hooty Found Out Where Her Baby Was Love dares all and counts as naught A deed that 1* with danger fraught. —Old Mother Nature. Thero is Just ns strong mother love j among the strongest and fiercest of the people who wear feathers and fur as among tho gentlest. You remem ber how Hooty the Great Horned Owl and Mrs. Hooty did not hesitate to at tack Farmer Brown’s boy when they discovered hint at their nest In the Green Forest. You remember how he tarried away one of the two babies. Neither Hooty nor Mrs. Hooty fol lowed him far. They did not dare l ave unprotected tho one baby left. Hut Mrs. Hooty did not forget her lost baby. She grieved for it and every chance she got she flew this way and that, looking for it. With only one baby to feed it was easier to catch food enough, and so she had more time in which to look for her lost baby. Far and wide she flew every night. Of course, she knew who had taken that baby, and so at last she decided to visit Farmer Brown’s. On her great, silent wings she flew over to Farmer Brown's dooryard. She alighted on the top of the barn, and there she sat, look ing and listening. She flew over to the roof of the house and sat there awhile, looking and listening Then i he flew over to the henhouse ami alighted on the roof of that. Now, Mrs. Hooty'a ears ne very large and very, very keen. Sh< heard , the liens inside stirring occasionally in their sleep. And then she heard a sound that made her heart hound. She knew it. She knew it for the \ nice of that lost baby. He was com plaining to himself, shut up in a box inside that henhouse. Mrs. Hooty • ailed to him softly. At least It. was softly for her. She tried to find a way of getting in to him. but of course there was no way. For a long time she sat there and tried to com fort him with strange notes that to mi or me would have sounded harsh Imt y hich were very, very sweet to that lonesome little Owl inside. My and by she flew away. She went hunting. How she did hunt! At last she caught a Wood Rat far over in the Green Forest. Straight back to Fanner Brown's sho flew and laid that Hat on the top of the wire pen which Farmer Brown's hoy hud made for that young Owl. She remained watching until daylight, and then flew hack to help Booty take care of the other baby at the nest. Every night thereafter she brought a share of the food that was caught and left it on tha top of that wire pen. As it was always gone each time she returned, she thought the baby must he getting it. Every night she talked to the little prisoner in side the henhouse. Perhaps this was one reason he was not more ready to make friends with Farmer Brown's boy. You see, he knew that his mother had not deserted him. He Every niglit thereafter she brought a share of the food that was caught knew that his mother wus watching amt trying to help him. And so it went on, night nftct night, until at last Farmer Brown's hoy, coming out very early one morn- : ing before daylight had more than I begun to steal out from the Purple I ltills, discovered Mrs. Booty. Then, like a drifting Black Shadow, she noiselessly flew back to the Green [ Forest and In her heart was a. new worry. She feared that it would no longer be safe to visit that little pris- ! oner. (Copyright, 1*23.1 Parents’ Problems What is the best course to follow with a hoy of 6 who teases older big ' per boys, knowing that they will not retaliate because he is little? The boy's father should make It | plain to him that what he is doing Is cowardly. Adele Garrison My Marriage Problems The Plan Draco Draper and Her Ac complices Made. Without a sound the motor police man fell forward Into the car, and tho l>ig man. who hail just struck him down, bent over him with a cool deliberation which horrified me even more than tho blow had done. "Well?'' Draco Draper's voice held the same unemotional note. "Ho hasn’t croaked," the big man said. "Shull I finish the Job?" “What's eating you, anyway?" tho chauffeur growled. He had dismount ed from his seat when the police man had come hack to the tonneau, and had been standing just behind the officer when the big man's blow had felled him. "you must simply be honing for the chair " he went on significantly, "and let me tell you there isn't any time to waste monkeying with this fellow. Ilia pal isn't far off. bel eve me, and when he finds this chap he'll figure some car on this road Is responsible. The cops will he flagged ahead, and they, will I. giving every ear the once over. And if this bird should get his senses hack—" “Which ho won't very sonn," the big man interposed grimly, "so save your breath to help me roll him over into the ditch yonder, and run the motorcycle .after him. Then we'll lis ten to you." "George Is Right,'* "Make it snappy then,” the chauf feur retorted. Without more word* the two men picked up the unconscious officer, and carrying him to the side of tho road, deposited him in a ditch which com pletely hid him from the view of any one on the road. Then they wheeled the motorcycle to the same ditch, and turned it flat on its side, hastily throwing some branches over it. "There:” the big mnn said in a satisfied voice when he returned to tho car. “nobody who isn’t looking for him will find that guy before we are at our stopping place, so let's beat If. George." "We'll 11 at it,” George said sulkily, "but not in the direction we've been going. We ll go back along this road about three in les until we strike that cross-road leading to the middle Island road. And we’ll change this gray lim ousine for some other car at Toney's.” "You're crazy with the heat.” the big man snarled. "You keep this boat headed west.” "George is right," Grace Draper struck in with decision. "The Rooner wo get to Tony's the hotter, but don't turn around right here. Hun along a row rods before you head cast again." A New Difficulty. “I get you," George replied, climb; ing into tlie driver’s seat again, while the lib man, patently rebellious, hut keeping his sentiments unspoken, seated himself opposite us. George followed Grace Draper's di rections implicitly, running east be fore he turned the car around. There was a tension which I could feel in tho attitude of both the Mg man and tin- woman whose hateful arms held me so tightly, and 1 knew that they would not fed safe until thpy were well away from the spot where lay the unconscious officer. When the oar turned off the smooth broad boulevard into the narrower and infinitely rougher dirt road which led across the island to tho north, I sensed the relaxation In both of them, although they made no outward sign And the very fact that they were more at ease sent my own spirits to bogganing. Even the carefully fashioned springs of the costly limousine were not proof against the rough dirt road, and I was glad indeed when we turned into the middle island road. Not that In the stress of my terror I minded so small a discomfort as Jolting. Rut at every jolt I was thrown against Grace Draper, felt her malicious arms clasp me closer, ami heard her venom ous little chuckle. I was wholly In her power, and I did not know what diabolical thing she might choose to do to me, i The chauffeur slowed down the car, and the big man spoke worried ly: •'No us» letting Tony know more than he has to Rbout our business. How you goin’ to explain tills dame?" The Uttered llresser. If the shelf of the kitchen dresser has an accumulation of articles, such as tumblers, bottles and hags, you cannot expect a tidy kitchen. Put each thing away after using and this general disorder will not result. With the use of steam shovels left in France by the American army, the removal of the fortified walls of Paris w.ll be completed in five years in stead of 23, as previously estimated. Beatrice Fairfax Problems That Perplex Is Husband Knit bless? Dear Miss Fairfax: I have lieen married fur three years and have a son a year old. Before my marriage I was a dancer and my husband played In a Jazz or chestra. Since the birth of my son I luive ! had a very serious operation and the doctor says I shall never be able to i dance again. I should not care about that, but this is what 1 am worrying about: I have been told, hinted and heard j other people talking of the fai t that my husband goes out with other wo [ men. I should not believe It, but it [ has been proven to me. i He is very kind and very good to me; In fact, not changed In the least since our marriage, and heartbroken because I could not dance, as ho loves dancing as well as t. 1 have not mentioned or given any hints of this to him. because I love him dearly, but what shall I do? I van hardly let it go on—everyone Is talking—so that X cannot bear to bo seecn anywhere, and I would not like such a thing be allowed to hurt rny child. I do not know what to do or what action to take. My husband is touring other towns and cities and is often away because of this. Coud you suggest anything that would be a wise action for me to take? HEARTBROKEN. The tone of your letter is very fine and dignified, quite certainly, since you have kept reproaches of unfaith fulness to yourself, you will have the I courage and tenacity to mend this matter. You say you have proof that he is putting other women before his love for you. I can only remind you that there is tho chance that things are not always as they seem to be. Perhaps the person with "proof" is not entirely disinterested and has mo tives for causing you heart sickness. Since you have your bahv son you must think of him. but to do him the best good you must not bring him up in an atmosphere of distrust and ac cusations. Perhaps if you look into your tlaily life with your husband you will find that you have not made every effort in your power to be the wife that every woman holds as an ideal for herself. Since you have had sick ness. you have not perhaps been able to cope with situations as wisely as possible, but with a son to live for, 'and 1 efurnlng health, you will have | greater self-command and can ac complish what you will. However, the time lias rome for you to be frank with him—tell him what you have heard. To be gentle and to give serv ice, you will find two good rules to i live by. (if course, sweetness may become' cloying, but common sense will come ; to your aid. Never be spineless. If you stand by him nov. in this crisis it may be you will find it a temporary trouble. However, if there ore reeal humiliations, and they are continued, go to some townswoman in whose judgment you have re “spect. Give her your case. She would know better than I if you should leave him. I cannot advise it. Mary .Jane; The bride and her at tendant should not. remove their wraps and hats. It is not necessary to have flowers but. it is a pretty cus tom. The groom furnishes the flow t rs for the bride and her attendant. \nxious: i can't offer you much sympathy. 1 am glad the young lad is so sensible. Cane-Seated ( liairs. If the cane in the seat of the chair becomes sagged, it will lighten it a great deal if washed in hot, soapy water, rinsed in clear water and dri*d in the fresh air. A Practical Thought. When the sheets and towels come back from the laundry, put them on the top of the pile In the linen drawer, but draw out the clean ones from the bottom. In this way your linens will wear evenly with no effort. Uncle Sam Says Saving Household Labor.
