SLEEPY-TIME TALES THETALE OF jBROWNIE beaver: JPfRYlBTHIIB WITT Mil FY CHAPTER vm Mr. Crow is Vpaet Brownie Beaver couldn't help feel ing that Mr. Crow had not treated him very well, because Mr. Crow hadn't told him all the news about Frisky Squirrel's tail. He thought that maybe there were things about a newspaper that even Mr, Crow didn t know. Another week had passed. Brownie knew that it had, because since Mr. Crow's last call he had cut a notch in a stick each day. And there were now seven of them. Late Saturday afternoon Mr. Crow came back again. He lighted on top oi Brownie s house and called "l'a per!" down the chimney, just as he had a week before. Brownie Beaver came swimming up once more. -"Look here!" he said to Mr. Crow. "I don't believe you know much about being a newspaper, do you 7" That surprised Mr. Crow. "What do you mean?" he asked. "A newspaper " said Brownie Beaver "a newspaper is always left on a person's doorstep. I've talked with a good mrny people and not one or them ever heard of a paper being left on the roof." Mr. Crow's face seemed to grow biacKer than ever, he was so angry "How can anybody leave a news paper on your doorstep, when the step's under water?" he growled. Brownie Beaver did not answer that question, fore he had something else to say to Mr. (jrow. "I've talked with a good many peo- That surprised Mr. Crow. pie," he said once more, "and not one of them ever heard of such rude ness as shouting down a person's chimney. If there was anybody s!eep in the house, it would certain ly wake him; and if a person had a lire it his house, shouting down the chimney might put it out." Mr. Crow looked rather foolish. "I'll try to think of some way of leaving your newspaper that will suit us both," he said. Then he hemmed and began to tell Brownie the week's news. "On Sunday," said Mr. Crow, tin i i . 9 were ,wu a iresnei. "I knew that before you did," said brownie Braver; Mr. Crow looked disappointed. "How?" he asked. "Why, I live further up the river tnan you," said Brownie Beaver. "And since freshets always come down a river, this one didn't reach you til it had passed me." Something made Mr. Crow peevish. "I don't believe you'd care to hear any more of my. news," he said. "You appear to know it already. Per haps you'll be kind enough to tell me the sort of news you prefer to hear." 'Certainly!" Brownie Beaver re plied. "Now, there's the weather! I've talked tfith a good many people and they all say that a good news paper ought to tell the weather for the next day." Mr. Crow cocked an eye up at the sky. "To-morrow will be fair," he said. "I'm told that a good newspaper ought to tell a few jokes," Brownie Beaver continued. But Mr. Cfow sneered openly at that. 'Traa newspaper not a jest book," he announced. "Then you refuse to tell any jokes, do you?" Brownie Beaver asked him. "I certainly do!" Mr. Crow cried indignantly. "Very well!" Brownie said. "I see I'll have to take some other news paper, though I must say I hate to change after taking this one so long." "I hope you'll find one to suit you," Mr. Crow said in a cross voice. And he flew awav without another word. He was terribly upset. You see, he had enjoyed being a newspaper, be cause it gave him an excuse for ask ing people the most inquisitive ques tions. He had i-.tendet" all that week to ask Aunt Polly Woodchuck wheth er sfr" wore a wig. But he hadn't been able to find her at home. And now it was too late for Mr. Crow was a newspatwr no longer. .As for Brownie Beaver, he suc ceeded in getting Jasper Jay to be his newspaper. Though Jasper told him many jokes, Brownie found that he could not depend upon Jasper's news. And as a matter of fact. Jas per made up most of it himself. He claimed that the newest news was the best. "That's why I invent it myself, right on the spot," he explained. (Copyright. Orosset. I'unlap.)

By The HOLDING A Adele Garrison's Revelations The Way Dicky Astonished Madge. Dicky's eyes followed mine to where the piece of paper with the decoded telegram written upon it fluttered in the breeze at my feet. He I grinned lazily, reached for it, and waved it in front of me. "The ifates are against you, old dear!" he said. You think you can postpone the evil hour of reckoning, and here 'the poipers' turn up and confront you like one of those old basilisk t!iing-um-a-bobs. Better turn your face away from contemplating the beauty of the lake and look upon this evidence of your iniquity." I took it in my own hands, and made a -pretence of examining it carefully in order to regain the poise that had been woefully shattered by this sudden revelation of Dicky's knowledge of my responsibility for Rita Brown's departure. "Where did you get this?" I de manded, but was conscious that irtv dignity was merely a bolstered-up affair which might come tumbling down .at any moment. "On the floor where the beautiful gyurl detective most carelessly dropped it," Dicky retorted mock ingly. "Very careless work, old dear" he shook his head mournful ly "think we'll have to reduce you .ind put von back to patrdlling a beat for awhili" "Oh, don't be so ridiculous!" I said, pettishly, conscious that I was very near cither tears or temper, so completely exasperated was I at my own carelessness. How in the world could I have lost this paper? why in the world hadn't I destroyed it? my mind was ringing the changes on these questions even as I read over again the words in which L had decoded the telegram Lillian had sent me concerning Rita Brown. " "Would you rather I were se rious?" What Dicky Knew. There wasft note in Dicky's voice which I had heard but two c three times in my married life-a note which I can only describe as that of conscious authority.

I answered faintly, be fore I couid repress the words, and realized even as I uttered them that the unconscious emphasis I had put upon the pronoun could not help but hold a sting for my husband. ' There was a touch of bitterness in the suddenly angry eyes he turned on me. , . . . "Yes, to me. I had all that dope years ago." I was able to keep my voice from words, but .Dicky must have seen the amazement in my eyes, for his own grew,, harder as he went on. "As it happens, Harry dug all that stuff up for Lil when she took a notion she happened to want it." i drew a deep breath, and asked: "Did Lillian know that you knew?" i Dicky's Angry Outburst.

Wonder where Harry is, any way." v I saw that for a minute he had forgotten me in his remiusicence of the man who had played so bizarre a part in his life, but I had neither lesiure nor inclination to bestow upon Harry Underwood. I detested him too cordially, and, besides, all my mind was centred upon one question. Why hadn't Lillian simply wired me: "Ask Dicky," when I had tele graphed her for information which would give me some hold on Rita Brown ?- ' There was but one ansyer to it that I could see. I gave it to my self unwillingly. Lillian must have feared either Dicky's reluctance to give up the information he held, or the garrulity which had cuased her to withhold important information from him in our old service days, and request me to dajjie same thing, repugnant as such a restriction was both to "her and to me. ' I was startled to see Dicky sud denly spring to his feet, striking his clenched fist into his palm. "The trouble with you and Lil is that you both are so cursedly self sufficient!" he broke out. "You don't need anybody in your young lives as long as you can run the universe together."

The peculiar mark which we call 'a "dimple" is really nothing more than a dent or depression in a part of the body where the flei.h is quite soft. When we speak of dimples, we naturally think of those in the cheek, the indenta tions which appear when a person smiles. But it should be remem bered that dimples are also to be found in other parts of the body. Babies, for example, usually have dimpled elbows and knees, while infants who are plump often have several in their backs and should ers. These are due to the fact that the fibers which lie under the out side skin and help to hold it firm ly in place are of varrying lengths and run in all directions. Oc casionally these fibers will be too short in one spot or another and pull the skin in, forming the dimple. This natural effect can be easily imitated by a slight surgical operation, the outer lay er of skin opened and lifted and the fibers underneath snipped so that the skin, upon healing, is pul led slightly upward. The fact that dimples frequently occur in the cheek is due to the compara tive irregularity, of the length of the skin-fibers of this part of the body.
