Uncle Sam Says:
Diseases of Poultry.
Do you keep poultry? What Is
more discouraging and costly than to
have disease break out in the flock?
Poultry diseases as a rule pass rap
idly from bird to bird and may be
carried to neighboring Hocks. Most
diseases respond favorably to treat
ment, although some resist all ef
forts. Preventive measures properly
applied offer the surest means of
controlling poultry diseases.
This booklet suggests methods of
controlling and treating nil important
poultry diseases and has been a great
help io many experienced poultry
keepers.

BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Ik He Sincere?
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been
engaged to a man for over four years
and lie keeps putting our wedding off
from time to time and making ex
cuses. and he keeps corresponding
with other lady friends and exchang
ing Christmas presents and cards. He
seems to care for me, but 1 don’t
want to make a mistake. Now. what
am I to think? J- H
l think you should have a clear
understanding with your fiance. He
Should be willing to give up close
friendships with other girls if he
really mean, to marry you. I suspect
his sincerity. Don’t be hasty or un
kind. but have a frank talk with him.
If he. doesn’t care wholly for you.
now is the time for you to find it out.
Peggy: The worst that could hap
pen would be the annulment of your
marriage. People are not sent to the
penitentiary for a legal marriage.
Gertie: Surely you do not resent
your father’s interest in your welfare.
You will be much happier, my dear, if
you follow his advice.
Marie D.: Why not let him explain.
HoV do you know but what there was
a misunderstanding over the call.
Don't let foolish pride stand in the
way of your happiness.

CHAPTER IV.
A Present for Miss Belinda Bunny.
"Look, Ma!” Belinda Bunny ex
claimed one brisk winter’* day us she
hurried Into the house and showed
her mother a heavy round object, flat
on the top and on the bottom. "Isn't
this a beautiful picture? Jimmy Rab
bit gave it to me."
Mrs. Bunny took the gift in her
paws and examined closely.
"Early June Peas!” she said, read
ing tlie word* beneath the picture,
which was pasted on the side of tiie
present. "It certainly is a lovely pic
ture," Mrs. Bunny agreed. i
"Now, Ma!” cried Belinda. "You're
not going to make me give that pic
ture back!”
"No!" her mother replied. "Not
now, anyhow! We'll set it on the
mantel. It’s certainly a handsome
ornament for the parlor. And if I can
stand to see it during these long win
ter months you may keep it. Dear
me! What a long time it's going to be
before summer comes and Farmer
Green’s vegetables are ready to eat!”
Belinda Bunny put the picture on
the mantlepieCe. And she and her
mother stood back and looked at It.
"I never saw a picture framed like
this one,” Mrs. Bunny remarked. "It
can’t be meant to hang on the wall.
It must be intended for a mantel or
nament. I do believe it's what they
call ‘bric-a-brac’.”
Miss Belinda soon went out to play.
But her mother sat herself down in
the parlor and looked and looked and
looked at the picture called Early
June Peas. She never took her eyes
off it until her daughter returned
two hours later.
"Is dinner ready, ma?” Belinda
asked.
Mrs. Bunny Jumped up quickly.
“I declare," she said, “I forgot to
get It—and me so hungry all tills
time!”
In a little while they sat down to
their meal of the tender inner bark
of trees. It tasted very good to Be
linda. But Mrs. Bunny said she
wished they had some green peas.
And as soon as she had hurried
through her dinner she went hack
and seated herself in the parlor again,
where she could feast lior eyes on
the picture and be both happy and
miserable at the same time.
When her daughter entered the ,
room, later, she caught her mother
nibbling at the picture.
"Now, ma!” cried Belinda. "Don't |
you spoil my present!”
Mrs. Bunny leaped back guiltily.
"I was only trying to see if these
weren't late June peas instead of
early ones," she told Belinda. "Some
how. they don't look uuite like the
early kind."
“'This present is not meant to t>e
eaten, ma,” said Miss Belinda se
verely.
"I know that," Mrs Bunny agreed
with a sigh. "I know that, and it's
a pity it's so."
Belinda Bunny made her mother
promise that she wouldn't touch the
picture again. And then she went out
of doors once more, because Jimmy
Rabbit was coming to play with her.
She found him already waiting for
her.
How docs a person ^et Into & can
of peas?" -Mrs. Bunny demanded.
"How did you like the peas?” ho
asked her.
"They’re lovely,” Miss Belinda totd
him. "YVe put them on the mantel.
Ma is looking at them now.
"Y'ou mean the empty can, of
coarse,” said Jimmy Kabbit. "But
1 mean, bow did you like the peas
that were inside it? Did they taste
good?"
"My goodness!" Miss Bunny ex
claimed. "Ma and I didn’t know
there was anything to eat inside that
present. I’ll go right into the house
and tell her."
She hopped through the doorway
and told her mother what she had
learned.
Mrs. Bunny leaped right up on the
mantelpieco and seized the can of
peas
"What are you going to do, ma?"
cried her daughter.
"I’m going to open this,” said Mrs.
Bunny. And she tried to bite Into
the tin can. She did succeed in mak
ing a slight dent tn It. But that was
all. "Call Jimmy Rabbit! Ask him
to hurry! ’ cried Mrs. Bunny.
lie came quickly In answer to
Belinda's summons.
“How does a person get into a
can of peas'."' Mrs. Bunny demanded.
But Jimmy Rabbit couldn't tell
her. And Mrs. Runny was frantic.
Rut she wouldn’t lot anybody else
try to open the can. Though it
hadn’t been given to her. she wouldn't
let go of it. She kept it with her all
winter long and spent hours and
hours trying to open it. And all for
the lack of a canopener!

What the Telegram Compelled
Madge to Do.
I put out my hand mechanically
and took the yellow envelope which
the old man had brought to me from
the station agent.
"You’re sure you're Mis’ Graham?”
he repeated, and I saw that senility
sut heavily upon him. “The agent
wouldn’t like it if I giv’ it to any
body else.1’ "
“Yes, yes. I am Mrs. Graham,” I
repeated .impatiently. "You said just
now that Mrs. Barker pointed me out
to you.”
“But her eyesight isn't as good as
It used to be,” he retorted. “Site
might be mistaken, and then I’d be
In a pretty pickle.”
"But she wasn't mistaken,” I said
curtly. "This telegram is mine. Is
there anything to pay?" I opened my
purse, which, from sheer force of
hahit, I had carried out-of-doors with
me.
"No, ma’am 1 was cornin' this way
anyway."
“But you'll take tills for your
trouble, won’t you?” 1 held out a
coin.
-/ "I don’t want nutliin’ for an ac
commodation,” he protested, but I
saw his eyes fixed longingly upon the
piece of silver.
"It isn’t pay for the service, it's
Just a little present I'd like to give
you,” I said coaxingly, for I knew
from other days of the stubborn pride
of these old mountaineers, hut I knew
ulso the pitiful lack of money which
some among them experience.
He hesitated a second longer be
fore taking thp coin and pocketing
It with a heartfelt ’’thanky.” Then
he moved on his way up the mountain
road, but I saw him give one or two
backward glances as If he were still
doubtful of my right to the telegram.
A Cryptic Message.
I had torn the envelope open while
I was getting rid of him. but for a
second or two, whicli seemed hours.
I could not force myself to read the
message. There was but one house
from which this message could have
come, and that my own, for no one
save the members of that househald
knew my whereabouts.
I have not the nervous fear of tele
grams which many women have, for
our household is well accustomed to
casual aud business messages by wire.
But when 1 mu away from Junior, '
especially since the terrible time of
his kidnaping, I am never free from j
a haunting fear for his safety, and 1
it was that dread which paralyzed
i my fingers until I forced them into
action.
But there was no word of Junior,
save the last words, “Everybody
well,” In the brief cryptic message
signed "Lillian” which stared up at
me from the yellow page when I
had unfolded it.
"Plan you counted on slipped up
unexpectedly. Runabout left three
this morning. Speedy driver. Bet
ter hasten departure."
Madge Acts Quickly.
For a blank, dazed second or two
I wondered if Lillian suddenly had
taken leave of her senses, or—If I
tiad lost mine, for I could make noth
ing of the words. But realization
quickly came to me, and 1 caught my
breatli in dismay as I interoreted tlie
words in which Lillian had clothed
her message so that no one but I
should know what she meant.
Dr. Pettit, of course!
• A little cold chill ran over me as
I remembered the flaming, almost
mustleroUB look in hts eyes when he
had declared his Intention of thrash
ing Dicky within an inch of his life
because of ilia escapade with Claire
Foster.
Lillian had declared that she and
my father would keep him from his
expressed determination to go at
once in search of my husband, and
I had rested securely in the belief
that they had l>een able to thwart
his proposed Journey, Lillian’s mos
sage, however, spelled a very lively
danger, not physical, for I believed
Dicky to be more than a match for
the saturnine physician, hut 1 had a
vivid vision of the publicity which
would ensue should the two men came
together. All my labor and anxiety
would be wasted.
With the steadying of will and
nerves which generally cornea to me
in emergencies, I read the telegram
over again slowly and carefully.
"Runabout left 3 this rhorning.
Speedy driver.” Lillian had empha
sized our common knowledge that no
driver in the country was more of a
dare-devil or could get more out of a
car than could Herbert Pettit. Bar
ring accident, he would have covered
the hundred miles to the city long
before traftic started, and thus he
assured of a clear p;issage through
the city and across the ferry. And

the roails on the west side of the
Hudson were wonderful. He must
he within an hour of Caldwln ut least!
If 1 managed to elude him. and get
