CHAPTER XIII A Lucky Find 3rownie Beaver almost wished he hadn't spent so much time waiting for Grandaddy to tell him to tie down his house so it wouldn't be carried away by the biff wind on the follow ing: day. With no ropei-or anythinr else to tie the house with, Brownie could not see that Grandaddy 's ad vice was of any use to him. Anyhow, he was glad he had done as Tired Tim had si jested and du a house in the bank, where he could hide until the storm passed. But he fel. sad at the thought of losing his comfortable home. And since he " "Hurrah!" Brownie' crie&Ttes iust what I need. could hardly bear to look at it and imagine how dreadful it would be to have it blown over the top of Blue Mountain into Pleasant Valley, Brownie went for a stroll through the woods to try to forget his trou ble. I He found himself at last in a clearing, where loggers had been at work. They had chopped down many treas. And the sight made Brownie Beave." angry. "This is an outrage!" he cried aloud. "I'd like to know who had been stealing our trees. I suppose it's Farmer Green; for they say he's always up to such tricks." He took a good look around. And then he turned to go back to the village and tell what he had discovered. Just as he turned he tripped on something.' And something clinked beneath his feet. It didn't sound , like r stone. So Brownie Beaver looked down to see what was there. tNow, in his anger he had quite forgotten the great storm. But as he saw what had tripped him he re HOLDING A Adele Garrison's Revelations The Astonishing Thing Grace Draper Asked of Madge. For a long moment I stood silent, looking down, I fear, almost vacant lv, at the envelope which the man whom Betty Kane called "Tim" had, handed to me. The sight of ihe handwriting of Grace Draper, the graceful, hated chirography which I had hoped never to see again, was for the moment like a basilisk to me. My eyes were fixed upon the letters of my own name as if they were magnets from which I could not re move my glance. vMrs. Margaret Graham," the en velope read, and through my numbed emotions ran a sudden little flame of anger at what I knew as the inten tional substitution of "Margaret" for "Richard." ' . My apathy fled, lost m the sudden gust of anger. How dared she write to me, this evil girl, who was to all intents and purposes a murderess, who had been a traitor to her coun try and who had caused me more misery and heartache than I had ex perienced from all other sources in my life! The bare effrontery of her! With suddenly fierce fingers I held the envelope up, determined to tear it in two and give it back to the mes senger who had brought it. But, as it he realized my intention, he stepped forward hastily, with such a frightened expression upon his face that my fingers were involuntarily arrested, and I loked at him with tense inquiry. ' 'Please don't do that, he begged, hoarsely. "The lady said that wa3 what vou would do, and she said for me to tell you if you ever hoped for happiness here or in the next world to read the letter and send back an answer by me." j . , . There was an instance in his voice that was strange to hear from a messenger, but I was not surprised at it. I had experienced before the singular influence which Grace Dra per had upon the men whom she em ployed, to do her bidding. They jecmed to have a feeling for the - ME T A'9L E S OW ixi n K. m m m a m BY ARTHUiSCOTT BAILEY membered it again. But he was no longer worried. "Hurrah!" Brownie cried. "Here s just what I need!" and then he hur ried back home again but not to tell about the trees that had been stolen. He hastened home to chain down his house and save it from the great wind. For Brownie Beaver had found a chain, which the loggers had used to haul the logs out of the woods, and had forgotten. It was almost dark when Brownie reached his house in the village in the pond. He was never a very good walker. And dragging that heavy chain bchind'him through thv. forest only made him slower than ever. Sometimes the chain caught on a bush and tripped him. But Brownie was so pleased with his find that he only laughed whenever he fell, for he was not hurt. The whole village gathered round his house to watch him while he tied the chain on- it and anchored the ends of the chain to the bottom of the pond with a big stone. "Why do you do that?" people asked. "He's afraid of the cyclone to morrow," Tired Tim piped up, witn out waiting for Brownie to answer. "You know, old Grandaddy Beaver says that there's going to be a great wind. This young feller " said Tim "he's already dug a house in Ihe bank near mine ha! ha! He thinks Grandaddy knows. But I say that Grandaddy Beaver is a a fine, noble, old gentleman," Tired Tim j stammered. He had happened to glance around while he was talking; and to his surprise there was Gran daddy floating in the water close be hind him. "He certainly is," everybody agreed. "But we hope he's mistaken about the great wind." Wl?n Tuesday came; which was the very next day Brownie Beaver crept into his tunnel in the bank at sunrise. And he never came outside again until the sun had set. When he saw that his house was still there, in the middle of the pond, he shouted with joy. "Hurrah!" he cried. "The chain saved my house!" Then he noticed that all the other houses were still there, too. "How's this?" he asked Tired Tim, who stood on the bank beside him. ' "Did my chain save the whole village?" Tired Tim grinned for he was not too lazy to do that. "There wasn't any cyclone,',' he said. "There wasn't a breath of wind all day. And old Grandaddy Beaver is so upset that he's gone to bid and won't talk with anybody." (Copyright, Grosset & Dunlap.) HUSBAND New Phase of of a Wife beautiful, evil creature that was queerly compounded of admiration and fear. But it was not the evident desire of this messenger to acquit himself creditably in his employer's eyes that impelled me to break the seal of the letter instead cf tearing it into pieces. Though I loathed and despised Grace Draper, yet I have a very lively respect both for her mentality and her capability of do ing unusual things. If she had sent word to me that my happiness in this world and the next depended upon my reading her letter, it be hooved me to read it, and that with out further delay. I walked to the window in the farther end M the room, more to re move myself as far as possible from the proximity of the man "Tim" than because I needed the extra lifjht. The next minute I had un folded a most astonishing epistle to me an almost unbelievable tiling. An Extraordinary Plea."" For Grace Draper, the girl whom I had thought to be my bitterest en emy, to hold toward me the most savage rancor, had written me my eyes leaped from phrase to phrase an impassioned plea for forgiveness. "Is it not your creed?" the strange letter began, without head ing or salutation "that expiation is possible to the guiltiest? I have wronged you and yours, I admit it, as I never wronged any one else " "But I have been punished. How I have been punished! " Did you ever ?ee the inside of a prison, wen for a brief sight-seeing visit? Then you know what a bell upon- earth has been mine since those doors closed upon me. Oh, Madge! I had time to think over every slightest action of my life, time to reflect upon what I had done, time at last after the first vild rebellion to repent, to plan how I could best atone for my crimes for I will call a .spade a spade at last. "There are some things I can hever undo, but I can at leasf plead for forgiveness. That is why I am THE MISSING LINK More Truth By JAMES J. THE PRODIGY It filled my soul with startled admiration To read about the urchin who's enrolled To supplement his college education, Said urchin being barely twelve years old. This youngster has a lovely disposition, ;, He's never rough he's not the least bit wild He's just a youthful mine of erudition, A Greek and Latin -speaking super-child. i At three he quoted Homer's metric phrases And, quite despising vulgar childish sums, At four he worked serenely through the mazes - Of Mr. Euclid's tangled theorums. At five he mastered Syriac declensions And, with a vision nothing served to dim, s At seven, he proclaimed that Fourth Dimensions ' Were just as plain as one plus one to him. He never spun a top or shot a marble; The chances are he never had a toy; His tutored tongue has never learned to garble The English language like a common boy. He wouldn't know Jack Dempsey if he saw him Or hail a foot ball hero with acclaim; Babe Ruth himself would scarcely overawe him, For he has never seen a base ball game. Oh. how his doting parents must adore him! It's wonderful to have a child like that! How they must strive, of evenings, not to bore him When he sits, thinking, in their little flat. But though, of course, I'm not beyond enthusing At all the learning underneath his lid, It seems to me, if I could do the choosing, That I'd select some other kind of kid. ( V U u-iif -Bjer .
