f A WifW* Confession! I y • t yiclele (jarristfiit Who Was K Thai Frightened Marion and .lunior? Something in my mother-in-law's tone ns she uttered the comment upon Lillian's letter to the effect that she! was living melodrama now, not leading It. renewed my suspicions that the "disgrace," to whirh she had] referred and her inexplicable dc rr.ahd for a hundred dollars fo'r Tues day! were the figments of an inflamed imagapation, disordered by the shock of her fall. Fate which had cAst her in the mould of a stiff and stern Puritan matron, also had given her from s >mr far-off swash bueki ng ancestor a zost for the adventurous and mys terious, which shp was only able to gratify at second-hand. X'o one kneA better than I how much she hail enjoyed Lillian's kindly subter fuges of enlisting her aid upon some unipjportant detail of her government invfcftlgationa. Then indeed Mother Grajham was in hpr element and eould give pointers <>n concentration and lofty ignoring of extraneous things to the redoubtable Sherlock himself. It was not for me to voice mv sits picitm, however. I could only humor her until I found out for myself whether there was any foundst on in fact,for her hallucinations, and so I only nodded an appropriate lugu brious assent. "I know. Mother." I said soberly and then more briskly. “I suppose I woud better take this letter down to Marion and tell her that her mother Is coming." "You'll find she knows it already as my mother-in-law^ commented. "You know, whatever her other epistolary slna. Lillian always sends a line to Marion at least once a week." "Yes. that is true," I said, "but this note to Dicky shows haste otherwise she would have sent him the message through Marion. I think I would better tell her." Madge Seeks the Children. "Oh of course.” she assented, and I hurried downstairs to find Marion going directly to the kitchen for I had left the children In Katie’s charge. I found my little maid bak ing waffles, patenly for Dicky's breakfast and reflected that no mat ter what the domestic crisis, Katie steadfastly refuses to he diverted fronj- evolving the culinary master piece* upon which she so Justly prides herself. "lil>se kids outside,” *h* said brlelfc', her eyes upon the waffle Ironja "I make dem put on warm tingjlund den dey go outside to play. You goln’ find dern or vill you have some waffles by Mee^ter Graham yet ?’’ She looked at me a bit oddly, 1 thought, as she puj the question, but I was itt a hurry tr* reach Marion, and took no time to consider the vagaries of my little maid's glances. •The waffles are a temptation, Katie.” 1 said smiling, “hut I want to find Marion right away, so l wop't \va it.” “Den I feex you some \ en you room bark.” she promised, as I went out of the door. The children were nowhere to be seen in the yard, and guessing that they had gone to the woodland back of the little lake which lies behind the Durkee house, and on*9 in which we used to live in Marvin, I made try wav through the Durkee garden, a long the shore of the lake until I • me to the footbridge spanning the brook which fed it. There was still no sign of the children, and with an absurd lit11 • feeling of uneasiness. I crossed the bridge, and called their names luodly. "We Saw a Big One.” To my astonishment, Marion’s voice camp down an evergreen thicket with in a few feet of where I stood. 'Right here. Auntie Madge,” she said. “Just wait until 1 get Junior up.” There was something in her tone which made me run toward her voice. “Why! Is he hurt?” I called anx iously. “No, no." Marion returned em phatically and then the children emerged from the thicket, their cloth ing covered with mud and leaves as if they had been lying prone upon the damp ground. f was too astonished for reproof.; Never has Marlon failed in the most j meticulous care nf Junior. What had! induced her to play such a prank asj this I could not imagine but my small lad dancing about m*9 offered an en j thupiastic explanation. “We were hiding from Indians and| —and pirates,” he caroled. “And oh Ma ma we saw a big one.” Marion gave a cautions glance over h°r shoulder and then sidled; close to me. “I'll tell you all about It. Aunt!*' Madge, when we get home," she said.) "but let’s hurry away from here just as fast as we can.” There was an urgency In her voice j which effectually postponed the word** j upon my lips, and taking my 1 it11*» son by the hand T hurried with Marion across the footbridge to the shelter, of the Durkee garden. sV^VsVaV.VfiV-V.V.V.V.V.V Store .Closed All . « Da?/ Christmas | Your Problems | D<i4r Miss Allen: I have been going with a fellow for the last four year anl I* love him with all my heart and soul.;! I have done everything to make him happy. He was away from me for a while. I have found he has beep out with other girls and It just breaks my heart. 1 want to leave hint and ,everyone tells me to do so, hut I will never be “nappy without him. He rpnkes me orv all the time. T watt' to g»<somew'here and forget him. 1*> you think a man loves a woman whetji he goes out with other girls?] He rtiver said anything about marry ing tite. I want a home so badly, for I haven’t any. Should 1 ask him If he will ever marry me? 1 am clean and always neat about myself, lb never had me out to his home. 7 have gone through with so much that I don’t want to live any more. 1 don’t “care what happens to me now j "What! should I do? I know he willl never find a girl like me, for 7 hav been like a mother to him in every I way. BLUB. My dear, you have worked yourself i into a most unfortunate mental state, and Until you take hold of yourself and (let. over your hlues and tears i you cannot hope to hold the love of I the rpan who Is causing you so much suffering. Perhaps you have over j powered him with your love and he i is gett.ng tired of your devotion. No j man likes to feel that his sweetheart | is Just like a mother to him. In the future let him feel that you : ■re light-hearted and happy even If you have to pretend. Don’t try to boss liim and by no means take of fense If he goes out with other girls. He his not asked you to marry him and therefore he Is free to go with any girl and as many ns lie cores to. Tou, too, are free to go with tuber * young men, ami if you have the op portunity I would certainly advise ’ you tc> do so. 1 Do hot ask the young man If he In ’ tends to marry you. It is his place to ‘ mention the subject. Vou can do a 1 great deal to bring about a proposal 1 by changing from the unhappy girl 1 you are now Into a rheprful, enticing ’ companion. Make It a rule never to show jealousy or to Interfere when he ' shows Interest. In other girls. The * more freedom you give him to do as J he pleases, the more apt he Is to ding ■ to you. When a man is in love, he ' rarely cares to go with other girls. Perhaps your friend loves you, but j thinks he has grown tired of you he- j cause of the way you have been act j ing. Brace up and win back his re gard. \ Reader: Place cards That open up . ifh the announcement are a very pretty way of announcing an engage ment. Place cards that fold, with nap shots of the engaged couple pasted inside. If you are having a bridge party. 1 • 1 r• ver^th 1 ng to do is to have the first prize include the announcement. Then the one who wins it announces .t to the other guests. Knvelopes or favors of some kind, including the announcement, may be presented td the guests as they come n the door. Tjonesome: If you like a boy well enough to give up other boys' com pany when he is out of town, there certainly Is no harm in that. It really Is an indication of a steadfast, faithful nature.

The i>pp«n Minim • f< mu-reed* Hmause of tnfP.*» tlmt hr heed*. — Yowler the Mob • '* I Yowler the Hub Cat Follow*. Yowler the Boh Out, prowling about through the Oreen Forest, euine serous the trail of the otter family. He didn’t have to use his nose to follow that trail. Any one with eyes could fellow It. The instant he saw it Yowler knew who had made that trail. “Huh!" muttered Yowler. “IJHle .toe < Uter has stalled on his t ravels again. I wonder where he is going tins time.” Then Yowler, more from ha hit than anything else, put his nose down in that trail and sniffed. A aurpris ingchange came over him.. He sud denly took a great Interest in that 11it. lie had smelled young Ottei*. ?,fttl® Joe f t Mrs. Otter he wouldn’t think of atttmklng. They warn too big and strong, and he knew too well how they could fight. But a young otter would he a different matter, even though hr might he almost fully grown. Certainly this was a matter worth looking into. • So’ in his usual sneaking fashion Yowler followed that trail. And so at ’ength he can e to the big, upturn-d tree and the hole In the snow that led down under the roots. Very uentlv Yowler sniffed. At once his nose was fill- > 1 with the Otter scent. I Ip grinned hungrily. Those Otters were down there asleep. It was a lit* the head of Little doe Otter pep out of that hole in the snow great temptation to dip down and try to surprise them. But Yowler knew better than to try this. He looked around. A short distance away was a big hemlock tree. Yowler circled around to it and climbed part way up. Then he crouched on a hip limb and prepared to wait for those Otter* to come out. He didn't have long to wait. He saw the head of little Joe Otter pep out of that hole in the snow. Then Little Joe enrne out. He was followed bv Mrs. otter and then by the two young Otters. Yowler* yellow eves glowed hungrily as he noticed that one of these was smaller than the ot her. Little .Toe started off at once, and the others fell in behind to. Yowler as soon as he dared to, Yowler dropped down from that tree and be gan to sneak after them. It was sur prising how fast those otters traveled. Hut Yowler can travel fast, and it wasn't long before he had them in .Might. Then be moved more emiti rusly. He sneaked from tree to tr*e and took advantage of every stump nd hush. J*’or awhile the young Otters kept close to their parents, "then from time to time they dropped hack as they stopped to examine things that were new to them. Their * uriosity «rtisfle<1. they would bound ahead to < at oh up. ‘If that smallest Otter will Just drop far enough behind ►»> that I can get her alone, I think I II have Otter dinner." mutttered Yowler. "Those youngsters have got to see everything that 1* to !>« seen. They ate like all othei youngsters, full of curiosity ami heedless. They proh i. - ably think thry are quite able to take rare of themselves. It certainly will h' worth while to follow them for a while. I haven't anything lietter to do. Besides, 1 will go a long way for an Otter dinner.'' Me licked his lips and his mouth watered. The next alory: "The Smallest Ot ter Is Willful and Heedless." RADIO ___ I*M g nun for Dwenihcr 75.
