( "JAllcr Sandy Chipmunk bad dug liU chamber underneath Farmer Green's pasture, he liked the inside i h of his house quite well. But the look of the outside did not please him at all. lie wanted a neat door ' yard. And how could he have that, with that yawning hole through which he had pushed earth and Stones,' which still littered the grass a little distance away? -, Luckily, Sandy knew exactly what '. to do. So he set to workjto close the big work-hole. It was no easy ttsk as you can believe. But at last he managed to pack the hole full of dirt. ' Then he had no door at al. And there he was in the dark, inside the hall that led to his chamber and ftorerootn. But that did not worry Sandy. You see, he knew just what he was about. 'And before long he had dug a new doorway a small, - neat, round hole, which you fould probably have walked right past, without noticing it, it was so hard to See iu the grass that grew thickly abmit it. ' . You might think that at last Sandy's house was finished. But he was not satisfied with it until he had made 4?ltnothcr doorway, in the same fashion. He knew that it v as Safer to have an . extra door through which he could slip out vhen some enemy was entering by .the other one. Then Sandy Chip , munk's house was finished. And he was greatly pleased with it. But his work was not yet done. lie had to fnrnis h his chamber. So , He gathered other food' too! besides nuts and Grain. he began to hunt about lor dry leaves, to tnake him bed. These he yltjiffed into his cheek-pouches and cafried into his house. But fie didn't i:.arch proudly up to one ot his two c'.oors. Qh, no! He reached Jt by tarefut leaps and bounds. And when he left home again he was par ticular to go in the same manner iu which he had come. ; It made no difference which of his rluors Sandy used. He always came v iiiiu went like that, because be didn't "want to wear a path to either of his two doors or tramp down the grass around them. If he had been so careless as to let people notice where he lived he would have been almost sure to have enemies prowling about his house. And if a weasel had hap pened to sec one of Sandy's neat doorways he would have pushed light in, in the hope of finding Sandy inside his house. In that case the weasel ' would probably have pushed out again,, with Sandy inside him. So you cati un derstand that Sandy Chipmunk had the best of reasons for being, care- . ful. . , After he had made a soft, warm bed for himself. Sandy set to work to gather nuts and grain, to store in his house and eat during the winter. . He was . particular to choose only velLcured (or, dried) food, for. he knew, that that was the only sort " that ..would keep through the long 'winter, down in his Underground storeroom. i t He gathered other food, too, be--s'des nuts and grain. Near Farmer 1 Green's house he found some plump 'sunflower seeds, which he Added to 'lu?. stors. Then there were, wild "xtterry pits, too, which the ' birds had dropped upon the ground. All these, and many other -kinds of food, .' fcund their way into Sandy Chip ' inunk's home. ' ' Much S he liked such things to eat and especially sunflower seeds he. never ate a single nut or grain ori seed while he gathered them for his 'winter's food. And when you (hip to remember that he had to carry everything home in his mouth, j'ou can see that Sandy Chipmunk f l:at what is called self-control. His mother had always told him ' tbat -,he couldn't get through a win ter without that. - And so. when Sandy brought , her to see his new home, after-it was all finished, and his bed was neatly made, and hi otoreroom full of food, Mrs. Chip Jiiwnk was delighted. "I'm glad V see" she said "I'm flad to see tpat all my talking has done some good." - Copyright, Grosset A Dunlap. WHY DO WE SPEAK OF "RAIN- 1NG CATS AND DOGS?' Copyright, ltl. By The Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Those who consider only the etymology of words and phrases, overlooking the folk-lore which Jifj behind many of them, main Aa this expression is derived from the French catadoupe, meaning a waterfall, and that it was anglicized into "cats and dogs" by persons who caught only a part rf the sound of the word. But, as a matter of fact, the phrase has its origin hi the cus tom of referring to the male bios- oms of the wiilovf trees, used on Palm Sunday in many parts of rural England to represent palm, as "Cats and dogs," just as they are now called "pussy-willows." These increase in size t rapidly after a few warm April showers, and the belief prevailed that, the rain brought them. Hence the saying, "It's raining " cats and dogs. : - . More Truth By JAMES J.

Little Mrs. Durkee royally kept the .promise she had made me. There was no guest at the wedding more cheerful than she.- Indeed, the pret ty bride herself was not more ra diant with, happiness than Alfred's mother appeared to be, and that is a strong-comparison, indeed, for a happier, more beautiful bride I have not seen since I. watched Katherine Sonnot plight her vows to Jack Bickett. " . I conld not help but contrast the two weddings as I stood in a posi tion of vantage to watch the 'cere mony, waiting for the bride to de scend the stairs. Katherine's had been solemnized in a corner of Lil lian's drawing room, with only Lil lian, Dicky, myself and two others as guests. Leila was to be married in the presence of hundreds of guests and the stately old home of her mother's people was ablaze with lights and wonderfully decked with boughs and blossoms. Aunt Dora Paige moved like a duchess among her guests. Quaintly attired in a heavy gray brocade, made in the style of a half century ago, with wonderful jewels flashing at her throat and her snowy curls peeping from beneath a bit rof lace so old and exquisite that I broke the 10th commandment at my. first sight of it, she kept her delicate fin gers upon every detail, saw that things moved- with the smoothness, she had planned. , ' A Curious Contrast. Mother Graham and I stood be side little Mrs. Durkee. Aunt Dora had seen to it that Alfred's mother had the best place of all for view ing the ceremony. At Aunt Dora's quiet signal the orchestra, concealed in a bower of palms, began to play the wedding march, and the white robed old clergyman took his place before the beautiful altar of green holly boughs and dogwood blos soms. Then she joined us quietly and watched with us the crossing to the altar of Alfred and Dicky, and the descending of the wide staircase of the bride's prty. Two cunning tots, children of 9m: of the numerous cousins, came first, bearing with the gravity of maior domos baskets of flowers. Edith Fairfax came next, in a rose-colored gewn, and then came our dainty bride, starry-eyed, and a dream of loveliness in white with the rare old Than Poetry ' MONTAGUE lace of her1, great grandmother's wedding veil floating around her. She was leaning on the arm of her nearest male relative, Dr. Jim Paige, and while she was radiant with happiness, his face was white and set, and his eyes watching the grace-, fill figure of Edith Fairfax in front of him. I knew that he was waiting for the time, when, the ceremony being over, she, the maid of honor, and Dicky, the best man, would be. expected to share each other's so ciety for the rest of the evening That Dr. Jim's jealous eyes would watch everything they said, or did,. I well knew and wished the evening over. ' . . In Dicky's Eyes. The stately little procession moved 011, met Alfred and Dicky and the icld minister at the flower-bedecked altar. And then, as the clergyman begair intoning the solemn words of' the wedding service, there came to me so vivid a recollection of my own wedding day that I closed my eyes for an involuntary instant, shivering slightly. The delirious yet solemn Moments of that years-gone cere mony came back to me with a ppig fcant feeling, which was neither fear nor grief, but had in it the elements of both ' "I pronounce you" the old clergy man began, and I Opened my eyes to see Dicky gazing across at me.g i'.icre was . mat in nis eyeg wmi.11 made my heart leap1 with happiness, a message which told me that; he, also, had not forgotten.

Major Grantland.i all other complications, faded from my vision Nothing .mattered save that Dicky also 'remembered, that even in this tense moment his thoughts were with rrre. ' The clergyman's voice ceased, and Alfred swept his bride into his arms snd kissed her. Then the old minis ter offered his congratulations, and Leila, with radiant face, turned to her sister. Edith's face had sudden ly grown pallid, and for a pitiful moment she clung to yer young sis ter convulsively. Then she released her, and smiled bravely, as Leila turned to Dicky and Dr. Jim, wait ing to congratulate her.- With a swift descent from the heights where my sprrlt had heeti soaring, I turned to lktle Mrs. Dur kee at my side. I had completely forgotten her and wondered with 3 bit of panic whc'.her she. would be able to carry out to the last the promise she had given me to show no sorrow at Alfred's wedding. Thus far she had been gay and cheerful. Would she be able to keep it up? (Continued Monday.) I'M THE GUY I'M THE GUif who never wants to take his girl where she wants tc go. " Well, what of it? She never knows where she wants to go, anyway. Every "time I give her her' way, she's not satisfied. As soon as we get to -a place she begins wishing she had gone somewhere else. . So the only sensible plan is not to pay any attention to what she ' Wants to do. , . 1 Besides she always wants to go to places where" I find no enjoyment. She dances, and I don't, and she's always trying to drag me to a-dance.' She doesn t like the beach so she wants me to stay away from the shore. She likes vaudeville," and I like the movies. '. ..! In other words she always wants to go f somewhere I don't want to go. ( , You say I should give up my pleasure1 and accompany her wher ever she wishes to go? How do vou get that way? Am I a paid escort cr a he-male chaperone? Think again. She-goes-with me where I want to go, or she stays at home. It doesn't pay to hmor these girls. I'm not going to let any girl make a boob of me.
