Yes sir, he was angry through and through. He had been chased Into his new house by Bowser the Hound and ho resented It. He resented still more the fact that Bowser had tried to dig his way into that new house. He heard Farmer Brown's Boy call Bowser away, and he poked his head out almost as soon as their backs were turned. He was so angry that he grated his teeth, a most unpleas ant sound to hear. "I suppose now,” said ho to Polly <'huck as she joined him, "we'll have to move." "Move?" exclaimed Polly Chuck. "Did I understand you to say move? Why should we move?” "Because that dog will give us no peace now,” retorted Johnny. "He’ll be coming down here every day, and make it very uncomfortable for us. We are too near Farmer Brown's barnyard. We ai^i so near that that good-for-nothing dog will run down here every time he happens to think about It." Polly Chuck shook her head. "No, he won't," said she. "He won't bother us at all.” "Huh!" exclaimed Johnny Chuck. "Hugh! Much you know about it! Did you see him chase me the instant he caught sight of me crossing the Dotig Dane Dook at our doorstep there and see what a mass he has made of it trying to dig me out! 1 tell you we won t have any peace this summer." “That dog won't bother us,” re plied Polly quite as if she know all about it. Johnny turned to look at her. "You talk as if you know all about it," said he. “I do," replied Polly. "1 was peep ing out of one of our other doorways and watched that whole performance. Farmer Brown's Boy made that dog stop digging right away. If 1 know anything about it that dog won't dare come over here any more. That is why we are going to stay jt;.. “Move?” exclaimed Polly Chuck. ‘'Old I understand you to nay move?" right here. Didn't you say the other day that Farmer Brown's Boy is one of the best friends we'vfe got?'' Johnny Chuck nodded. “Yea,” said he. “Didn't he take that dog away after he had driven you up a tree?” con tinued Polly. Johnny nodded again. “Yes," said he. “Well, if he has taken that dog away twice, doesn't that prove to you that he doesn’t intend that that dog shall bother us?” demanded Polly. ”1 hadn't thought about it." con fessed Johnny. “Perhaps you are right. Goodness knows, I hope you ars." “I know I am.” y’plied Polly Chuck. “You wait and see. That dog is going to prove a blessing. He is going to keep Reddy Fox away.. That Is why l chose this place for our home. Now let's get busy and fix up our door step.” Copyright. 1 P 23. The next gtory: "Farmer Brown Discovers the Home of the Chucks." Beatrice Fairfax Problems Thai Perplex Is Love Electrical? Dear Miss Fairfax: Do you believe that love is an electrical attraction .between two folks and that It defies analysis? STUDENT. T believe that ideas and ideals of love are almost as many and as va ried as are lovers themselves. Your happiness in love must rest upon your own definition of love, and upon your willingness to workxt'o attain your Ideal. • If you want real loye, you must de serve It. You cannot find offhand and by chance a fine worthy devotion, nor can you hold a noble love by being less noble. Because you are lonely, or want the flattery of attention or long to have companionship — don't compromise with your finest Ideals. Don't go Without lrlenls because you are too lazy or too weak to work out for your self a fine, high standard of living and Invtng. Some of the happiest mar riages T know have come to men and women who were past the stage of youthful enthusiasm. Recently a girl wrote me that she was 30. that she felt youth slipping away, that she dreaded coining alone to oid age—and so she was almost re signed to marry a man who meant almost nothing to her. "We haven't much In common. T don't really care for him. Htill he iR a good man and he would take care of me and keep me from having to worry about the future. Don't you think I would he wise to stop dream ing and take what 1 can get?" she asked. Does anyone think It wise to resign all chance of real happiness, all op portunity for beauty and fulfillment? Isn't It cowardly and weak to grab at an opportunity for marriage and give up all hope gf love? Heartbroken: I don't know how you can make this unreasonable young man act reasonable. Either he Is looking for an excuse to break with you, or he Is very foolishly jeal ous. There Is nothing you <;an do In Ihe malter except to hope he will have the good grace to apologize for hi* When a Feller Need* a Friend By Briggs -—-■*— - V LADIES AnO ^cntleimen V This 13 STATION P.

Why Easter Sunday t.'linnges*. | Dear Miss Fairfax: Will you be kind enough to tell me why Easter Sunday changes. E. R. M Raster day. on which ail movable feasts depend, is always the first Sunday after the full moon, which happens upon or nexl after the 21st of March, and if the full moon hap liens upon a Sunday, Raster day i* the Sunday after. The calendar as at present Usofl was reformed in the year of our Enid 1582, by order of Pope Gregory XIII. who ordered the historical or civil year to be henceforward reckoned from the first of January. It was not adopted by Knglish speaking peo ple until January E 1753. The eccles ! iastical year still begins on the first ! Sunday In Advent. Happy In Izne: I think you did quite right to tell the boy you do not care for to stop writing to you. It gratifies a girl's vanity to receive let ' lers from an admiring friend, but It breaks down her character to encour age a regard from a boy which she cannot return. Cutie: You should not go with a |man because you are afraid nnt^ to. Muster up a little courage and tell I him the truth. You don't want to ; marry him and it will he easier to quit now than later on. Peggy: The best advice J can give | you is to suggest that you conduct yourseelf so well that hoys won't have j anything to tell on you when you | stop going with them. Uncle Sam Says llice as Food. Rice is one of the most extensively crown and widely used of ihe world's foodstuffs. It is a palatable fortd when properly cooked, and It can he I combined in many w ays with more expensive and highly flavored foods inaking a very nutritious dish. In many households in certain sec tions of the south, rice is served as often as potatoes, in fact, In those regions a dinner would hardly be con sidered without rice either served ns a starchy vegetable with meat, or in one of the excellent combinations familiar In southern cookery.

Dicky stepped out of the taxicab, paid the man his fare and added the lavish tip that makes my carelessly generous husband a boon to waiters and taxicab drivers. Then he helped me to alight and escorted me up the steps to the doors of the apartment house, his stick evidencing a visible disgust at every protesting twirl. "Tice savory neighborhood you’ve picked, Madge,” he observed, pausing in the act of inserting his key into the outside lock. It was after midnight and the nutsbte apartment doors were closed. Dicky shot a glance up and down the dimly lighted street. "Any body could stage anything along here, from a wife murder to a mail truck robbery, and make a nice, clean, leis urely getaway.'' My gltfhce followed his. and with a little shiver I acknowledged the truths of his words. The long narrow street sti etched dim, sinister and quiet, from l he bright lights of Eighth avenue, not very many yards from us, to the brighter hut more distant ones of Seventh avenue, almost a long city block away, I,ike a group of disreputable old crones, who had taken a drop too much, the forlorn old buildings, once the smart pride of a former genera tion, seemed to nod in grotesque drunken drowsiness at each o^her, while the single modern apartment house of the street, almost directly opposite us, reared her head and skirts from the squalor of the thor oughfare, as might a great lady sud denly bundled out of her carriage into a dirty farmyard. Dicky Is Disgusled. Frowsy little shops, deserted now, and dark S>ave for a slnele guarding light, away back in their musty depths, seemed keeping one leering eye open for the morrow s keen chaf fering. From one corner of Eighth avenue a wavering toreh light marked ihe plaee where the bulky proprietor of an all-night fruit stand kept his ! unwieldy body active in displaying his wsrfs, while from the other sham ed tlie one wholesome homely illumi nation nf the whole thoroughfare, the '■right lights of a Mistling bakery, preparing bread and rolls for the mor row s consumption. "It s neither fish, flesh, nor vet our old friend, the good red herring," Dicky grumbled, as he bent to the key again, and, opening the wide doors, ushered me through, with the touch of ceremonious courtesy which is sec . ul nature to him. “If you wrint u|> to ristoncs* you should have gone north.

We had almost reached the landing of the second floo- uprn which our own domlelle is situated, when my intuition told me that some one's eyes were upon us in furtive hidden Watchfi Iness.
