•Fil'd a Little Juke.
CHAPTER ONE.
There was a. great flurry In the
farmyard. Old Dog Spot wag yelpit g:
Henrietta Hen tun clinking: Turkey
T'roudfoot wag gobbling; Grunty Pig
was squealing. ,
For pity’s sake! What lias hap
pened?" Miss Kitty Cat asked the
old horse Ebenezer. who stood tied
to a hitching post near the wood shed
steps.
Ebenezer switched his tail at a fly
on his flank before he replied.
“Didn’t you see what Farmer Green
led into the barn a few. minutes
ago?" he inquired.
"No! What was it?" Miss Kitty
snswered eagerly.
The old horse Ebenezer yawned, as
if there was something that made
him very, very weary. /
“It was a. most peculiar person,”
he told Miss Kitty Cat. "I made my
self known to him: and aslted him
hia name. He said it was 'Mlstnh
Mule,’ and then what do you think
he did?”
Miss Kitty couldn’t guess.
"He tried to kick nte." said old
' Ebenezer in a tone of great disgust.
"1* he going to live here? Or is
he only a truest?” Miss Kitty Cat
wanted to khow.
"He's here to stay until Farmer
Green gets tired of him.” Ebenezer
explained. “The worst of It Is. lie'*
going to have a stall right next to
mine. X know already that X shall
not enjoy having him as a next-door
neighbor.”
All at once there was a great com
motion In the barn. First r.ame a
thumping, pounding noise. Then
Farmer Green'* vdlre rose above the
racket. And next' followed an odd
sound. "Hee-haw' Hee-haw!"
"What's that?" Miss Kitty Cat
cried.
"It's Mistah Mule," Ebenezer told
her. "He-* laughing. 1 wonder what
the Joke is?”
At that moment old dog Sppt came
scurrying out of the barn. lie Xiad
his tail tucked between Ills legs; and
hia face wore a frightened look.
"What's the Joke?" the hors-a Ebe
bezer called to him.
"Mlstah Mule just kicked Farmer
tlreen.” Spot yelped. ‘ And then Mls
tah Mule laughed. Didn't you hear
him?”
Ebenezer nodded.
"Did Farmer Orem laugh at the
joke, too?” asked Miss Kitty Cat.
"He did not,” old Spot growled. "He
was so angry that he scared me;
though goodness knows 1 had noth
ing to do with the affair. I was mere
ly an onlooker.”
I
Whiri the Jok*?* tht Hon*
Ehantur callsd to Hi/a '
"Are you sure you didn't nip at
Mistah Mule’* heels?" the horse In
quired.
"Not I,” Spot assured him. "A good
many years ago I got too near a
mule's heels down at the village. And
I've never forgotten what happened.”

My Marriage Problems
Adele Gorrison,s New Phase of “Revelations of a Wife."
The Queer I'rithlem a Tele
gram Brought to Madge.
I went bin k to the Bliss apartment
by the unromantic subway, encoun
tering on the way nothing more por
tentous than the frown of a dys
peptic looking subway guard.
Upon reaching the apartment !
found Claire Foster looking as if she
had not stirred since I left her. She
was still In the soiled negligee and kid
curlers of the morning, and I won
dered with a little feeling of disgust
when she meant To get herself Into
civilized garb
j" Tad Madge." she greeted me In
dolently without -stirring when I had
entered by means of the latchkey
Dickey had given me. I hope you've
had as delightful a day as I have, nl
though It couldn't have been as lazy i
a one. Talk about your country re
treats! This living in np apartment
where nobody knows you k**< 'em all
skinned for solitude and quiet. I've |
only opened the door once and that I
to a telegraph messenger, oh. yes,
the Janitor sent up some things on
the dumb waiter!"
"Telegraph messenger." I repealed ;
in quick alarm ignoring Un- latter
part of her sentence, No one save
I.lllian knew of our whereabouts, and
It hud been but a few ltours since I
had telephoned her the information, j
What could have happened at home In
so short un Interval?
Don’t look so panic-stricken.'* |
Claire laughed. "The telegram wasn't i
for you. Jt was addressed to Robert
Bliss. •'
"Oh!” The cxi lanuifion voiced a
heavy weight lifted from my heart.
"Did you tnko it?"
"Yes l did." she returned, her tone
agreed, but what Dicky dubs my "In
finite capacity for worrying," began
suddenly dubious. "I wasn’t sure,
what was beet to do. If I had known
where Dicky was I would have tele
phoned him about it. hut 1 hadn't
any Idea, and so l thought I'd better
hold It here until he came."
"Have Your Snooze."
"You did the only tiling possible,"
1 functioning with speculations as to
| tlie Importance of the yellow envelop*
| which 1 saw upon the mantel
Suppose It held a mo -age of denth
or desperate Him s either to the host
' or tlto chatelaine, something which
brooked tin delay'.’ Through my brain
went a half dozen w ild Ideas for find
lug out some possible way of getting
| that telegram to ils destination, but
I bad to come tun k at last to Claire
| Fostet s solution of the problem
"Fin going to lie down for s. few
minutes." 1 announced, feeling n» I

nervousness of the afternoon'* expert- I
enee pressing upon me "We ll have I
plenty of time to dress for dinner
when I get tip, unless you want to j
dress now. If you do, 111 take the
couch in the alcove."
"You'd never rest there." she re-,
turned, "and I'm In no hurry to dress.
It won't take me long when I get at
It. Hun along and have your snooze.
You look ns If you needed it."
A Sharp Contrast.
' I don’t believe 1 shall sleep ]
said, hut I had no idea how really ex
hausted I w>t’- and after 1 had ex
changed my gown for a negligee ami
had removed my shoes and settled
myself luxuriously In bed I knew noth
ing more until Claire Foster shook
ms gently and laughed amusedly
when 1 looked up at her with startled j
eyes.
"Dicky's here, hungry, and conse
quently Ill-natured," she said, "and
as long ns 1 have no legal obligation
to l>e the goat for his crankiness. I
promptly beat It. If you want to,
tackle him, all tight, hut I'd advise
you to put on chain armor first. How
about If Do you want to dress first
for dinner or eimll I?"
There was but one answer for a
hostess to make, and I made It. Then,
putting on my slippers and tidying
my ruffled coiffure, I trailed my
negligee Into the living room after a
furtive glance Into tho mirror. I
could not help the comparison be
tween my own appearance and Claire
Foster's distinctly sloppy nttlre. and
I wondered woman like If Dicky
would notice the contrast.
Curiously enough, it was one which
presented Itself to him sharply di
rectly following my entrance Into the
room. Clairs rushed In excitedly be
fore I had lime to speak to him, and,
If possslble, she looked untidler than
over.
"Oh, Dicky," she said breathlessly,
"I forgot to tell you. That telegram
came today for iRlr. lilies, but t didn't
dar« open tt, and 1 bad no Idea
where to send It. so I kept It until
you enme. Now, don't scowl In that
terrifying) fashion l don’t Intend
to play Alice to your Hen Holt, If
T do love you to distraction. Ta ta!"
She triilled her disreputable looking
wrapper bark in tbo bedroom and
again 1 wondered why a girl as at
tractive ns Claire Foster should be
willing to let any human ryes. even
her own, see her In *o unlovely a
guise.

Problems That Perplex
Answered by
_BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Itet liming the King.
Dear Fairfax: I was engaged
to a girt and thought she loved me.
Hut as soon as evervlng was arranged
her attitude changed.
I asked for the return of the ring,
and after some hesitation she con
sented. Now she has even broken off
friendship.
Hut I have a quixotic ntlilude on
presents and would like her to have
the ring baric. I bad only wanted to
keep it until her mind was fully made
up.
Most people stem to believe I
should not let her hove it, as her In
tentions may not have been genuine
from the beginning. Hut I feel like
the bishop in “Jean Valjean"—(hat
the best way is to let l>eople get away
with It. Am I nil wrong? It. H.
Ancler.t and respected custom die
tates that when a girl breaks her en
gagement she shall return the ring.
The real value of the engagement
ring is supposed to lie the sentiment
for which It stands—not Its appraisal
value. No woman of line feelings
would want to keep n ring which Imd
once meant so much In itself and had
promised so much toJ the future and
which came In the end to mean noth
ing.
Many women enter Into engage
ments 1n perfectly good faith and find
on closer acquaintance that what they
thought was love will not bear the
strain of a lifetime association.
Alice: l jould not advise you to
do other than await the turn of a
kind fate who might send along a
mutual friend. Only in story book*
afe the lovely lovesick heroines in
danger from falling down and break
ing their necks, but to be rescued
heroically by the Itudolf Itorneos No,
girls, we poor Juliet* are at a woeful
disadvantage, are we not?
Brown Kycs: Well, Brown Kyi'S
you startle me! No young man Is
going to trifle with you. Is he? He
Is going to be glad to see you wheth
er he Is or not, ami you arc going to
know tho reason why? of course,
that kind of conduct may get you
somewhere, but I’m just wondering
where? Ho careful, ltmwn l;!yrs, not
to develop Into a scold.
Perplexed: OIThand, I should o
mark he is u vain, filly, brainless
youth And at that Id dismiss him
from my mind. Wouldn't you, dear?
\\ urrlril: Hr probably would lwva

I ask you, dear, why you should give
him a thought when his feelings were
an shallow as that?
Blue Eye*: Next time you see him
walk right up to him and pretend
nothing ever arose between you to
causa dispute. Teaso him about his
peeve good naturedly, but don't let
the quarrel remain unpatched just for
a word from you.
MU* Beatrice: I wouldn't bring a
valentine to the party unless re
quested to do so by the hostess.
