CHAPTER VI.
Pete Gets a Shock.
(Peggy Is havlnj: a happy time at the
Birds' Harvest party, when a bear appears
n the scene. He proves to be a tame, danc
ing bear, and tells how he has won his
Xreedom by saving his master from being
burned to death. While he la rejoicing ; i
bis freedom his master's whistle sounds
through the forest.)
PEGGY was prompt to cat.
"You have won your free
dom, Lonesome Bear." she
cried, jumping to her feet. "You
shall not go back to slavery!"
"Princess Peggy has spoken, you
shall not sro back to slavery!"
jchorused all the Birds.
"I'll chase your master up a treel"
growled Johnny Bull.
"I'll butt him out of it," bleated
Billy Goat.
"And I'll kick him away "clear
cross the ocean to sunny Italy,"
brayed Balky Sam,
Again thes hrill whistle sounded,
this time much nearer. Lonesome
Bear trembled.
"Pete will kill me." he moaned.
"Hide!" Peggy ordered, pointing to
tne aeptm ot tne glade whence he
had first appeared. Lonesome Bear
slunk quickly awav in the underbrush
''Stay by mei" whispered Peggy to
fht Birds. "We must save Lonesome
.Bear."
She noticed, with a little flash of
uneasiness, that Billy Belgium, Balky
oam, oiuy uoat, ana johnny Bull had
quietly disappeared. But she felt sure
they had not deserted her. Perhaps
iney naa some new plan ot their own.
Nearer came the shrill whistle.
Within the glade was absolute si
lence. Peggy and the Birds scarcely
Dreatnea. ine bushes parted and a
dark-faced Italian came through. His
eyes were on the ground and he was
exulting over something he had found
there.
"His-a tracks," the man muttered.
'"My bear is not far away." He d!d
ot see Peggy and the Birds until he
was almost upon them. Then he
jumped back, startled by the strange
spectacle before him. There sat Peg
gy like a queen on her throne with the
Birds clustered close beside her. On
Peggy's head was a crown of leaves
hastily woven by the Orioles, and in
her hand was a blue flag scepter given
her by the Blue Heron.
Before the Italian could recover
from his surprise Peggy spoke.
iou are in the court of Princess
Peggy of Birdland. Remove your
hat, sir." At the same moment there
came from the nearby forest the
sound of soft, weird music. Peggy
knew Billy Belgium was on the job.
"Princess! Fairies!" muttered the
Italian, but he made no move toward
his hat.
"Blue Heron, do vour duty." hooted
Judge Owl, looking very severe in his
auto goggles.
Blue Heron flapped up from the
ground, sweeped toward the Italian,
Snatched his hat from his head and
gave him a sharp slap on the ear.
The Italian let out a yel! and
moved toward Blue Heron, but
topped short when Peggy raised her
scepter threatingly.
"Pete, the cruel," she said sternly.
"You have come here seeking Lone
some Bear, but you have come to
judgment instead."
"I wanna my bear," muttered the
Italian.
"Pete, the cruel, you have no bear.
Lonesome Bear saved your life. That
act won him freedom. He now be
longs to the forest."
"He belonga to me. What a foolish
ness is dis?" shouted the Italian an
grily. "Kneel, knave, and beg the pardon
of Princess Peggy for contradicting
her," said Peggy grandly, holding her
scepter in a gesture of command. The
concealed music shivered like a
movie theater organ at a climax.
"I notta kneel. I" Pete started
to protest when, bing! Billy Goat,

es, butted him sprawling. Pete, badly
snaicen up, started to rise when he
looked up and saw Balky Sam's hind
feet wavering menacingly in the air
aDove him. He turned the other way,
and there was Johnny Bull grinning
with hungry jaws just ready to grab
him. Pete clasped his hands together
ana raisea tnem imploringly toward
Peggy-
"Please-a princess, I notta mean to
insult you! Please-a forgive."
Peggy, looking behind Pete, could
scarcely keep her face straight, for,
peering through the bushes, was
Lonesome Bear, the queerest sort of
a look upon his face perplexity, fear
and an almost uncontrollable desire to
laugh, all struggling for command.
"Do you, in gratitude for his saving
your life, renounce all claim to Lone
come Bear?" asked Peggy solemnly.
Balky Sam stood on his head and
waved his feet around sue-irestivelv.
Johnny Bull moved a bit nearer and
growled. Billy Goat pranced around
behind. From the woods came the
mysterious music in weird, shivery
strains, i-ete s eyes took in the en
tire situation.
"I do. He is a trood-a bear. I letta
him go!"
Lonesome Bear's face lit uo with
relief and joy. But Peggy was not
through with Pete.
You are a strong, able-bodied
man too fine a fellow to be idling
around America picking up pennies
from children when Italy needs you
to fight for it. If I let you eo will
you hurry home to Italy and join the
army?"
"I will! I will!" promised Pete.
( "Then stand up!" ordered Peggy,
"and be on your way."
Pete stood up. Balky Sam sat down
with his back toward him. Billv Goat
gave Pete another butt and he went
flying on Balky Sam's back. In
stantly Balky Sam jumped up and
raced madly away with Pete clinging
to him. Johnny Bull and Billy Goat
followed close behind.
Billy Belgium's music broke into a
jolly frolic, and all the Birds joined
Lonesome Bear in a wild dance of re
joicing. '
In its midst Peggy heard her moth
er's voicec ailing: "Peggy, Peggy,
where are you?"
The Birds fled. Lonesome Beat-disappeared.
Peggy found herself sitting
alone on her throne. Her mother and
the other picnickers were coming to
ward her. The picnic was over, and
so was the Birds' harvest party.
(In the next adventure Peggy again meets
Lonesome Bear and also the raggedly Tramp
who interrupted the wedding of General
Swallow.)

Patents Granted by Uncle
Sam Go Over Million Mark
Uncle Sam granted the first patent
of the present series eighty-two years
ago. Patent No. 1, issued on July 13,
1836, was for a device to keep car
wheels from slipping. Several years
ago the millionth patent was issued,
on a pneumatic tire, which proves
that inventors are still much con
cerned with wheels. The constant de
mand for better transit facilities is
responsible for the largest proportion
of patents. Flying machines at the
present time are the particular object
of inventors' minds, and scarcely a
day passes without an application cov
ering some new and novel type of
machine for navigating the air.
Wheat Crop Damaged.
It is reported from Uruguay that
the wheat crop in that country has
been damaged to the extent of $2,
500,000 by wheat smut. The damage
is confirmed by the Uruguayan de
partment of agriculture.
Measure 8oks With Ruler.
A ruler and not a tape measure should
be used In determining the length of socks
knitted to Ited Cross requirements.
Feet must be from 11 to 11 Inches
long. Socks should not be larger than stand
ard in one place and smaller than stand
ard In another. Howver, socka that are
well proportioned are accepted If they are
slightly over or slightly under standard.

but ourselves! I
Never yet have I seen anyone who 1
was made more beautiful by bleach-
ing black hair golden or dyeing red t
hair black. The exterior of the be- X
ing that is you is made up of a nuni-' r
ber of features, colorings, lines and 1
contours. Nine-tenths of them you ' ?
cannot change. You may shave vour T
eyebrows, tint lips and cheeks, color ; 1

skeleton but just about there your
power ceases.
And probably all vou accomnlish
when you change two or three of
the combined qualities, that make
your appearance is to throw the
whole out of balance to sooil the
ensemble.
Think it over. Aren't the reallv
beautiful women you know those who
accent their good points and gloss
over their bad ones? Does, not the
person who fades brunette' hair to
blonde make a skin that looked white
enough against its dark background
suddenly seem dull and swarthy?
Just as you throw yourself out of
proportion by making a few changes
in a physical aspect, the main ooints
of which you cannot alter, so you lose
all charm of mind and spirit when
you hint them artificially here and
there.
Naturalness is absolutely charmins
when it is found in any sane, healthy,
kindly, keen person. Even a savage
is much more endurable in his "native
state" than he is when he flosses
nimseit over with a high silk hat, a
red flannel petticoat and dancine
pumps and stays for the rest au nat-
urel.
"A real person." What mav that
be? First of all. it is an individual
who is primarily honest and simple;
who is decent enough and clean
minded enough to care to express the
normal things he feels and thinks.
Civilization has trained us to take
certain direction. From childhood
up we are forced to inhibit some of
our tendencies; but after we have
accepted that and learned to con
form to the established code of mor-
lity and decency, nothing more than
this has happened: We have learned
to play the game according to rules.
Then, after we have "learned rfo
play the game according to rules,"
why posture and pose and pretend?
Why imitate somebody's else meth
ods? Take Stock of Yourself.
Those business enterprises are most
successful which take frequent and
careful inventories. Without being
morbid or self-centered, each of us
ought to have ever on hand a good
working inventory of self.
