CHAPTER XII.
, Forty Fat Turkeys.
. When Jasper Jay told Fatty Coon
about Farmer Green's forty fat tur
key Fatty felt hungrier than twer.
, Ohl I musn t go near tanner
Green's house 1" he said. ".My
mother told me to keen away from
there. . . . What tune did you
say the turkeys go to roost?-'
Oh! they go to roost every night
at sundown," Jasper Jay explained.
"And there they sit, up in the tree,
all night long. They're fast asleep.
And you would have no trouble at
all in catching as many as you
wanted. . . . But of course, if
you're afraid why there's no use
of ray talking abotit it. There's
a plenty of other coons in these
ivoods who'd be glad to know about
those turkeys. And maybe they'd
have the manners to say 'Thank
youl' too." And with a hoarse,
sneering laugh Jasper Jay flew
away.
'That was enough for Fatty. He
made up his mind that he would
show Jasper Jay that he was not
afraid. And he wanted a turkey to
eat, too.. He said nothing to his
mother about Jasper's news. But
that rery night, when the moon
came up, and the lights in Farmer
! Fatty Coon did not waittol .
:hear anything more.'
Green's house were all out, Fatty
Coon went stealing across the
fields. ' -
f He was not afraid, for he knew
ihat Farmer Green and all his fam
ily were in their beds. ' And it was
so cold that Fatty, felt sure that
Farmer Green's dogs would be in
side their kennels.
Fatty did not intend to make any
noise. The turkeys were asleep so
Jasper Jay had told him and he
expected to grab one of them so
swiftly and silently that the other
turkeys would never know it.
When Fatty Coon came to Farm
er Green's yard he had no trouble
at all in finding the spreading oak.
He could see the turkeys plainly
where they dozed on the bare
branches. And in less time than
it takes to tell it Fatty had climbed
the tree. On the very lowest limb
there was a row of four plump tur-
' keys, all sound asleep. And Fatty
reached out and seized the nearest
one. He seized the turkey by the
neck, so that the bigVbird could
not call out. But Fatty was not
quite quick enough. Before he could
pull her off her perch the turkey
began to flop her wings, and she
struck the turkey next her, so that
that turkey woke up and began to
gobble and flap her wings. Then
the next turkey on the limb woke
tip. And the first thing that Fatty
Coon knew, every on of the thirty
nine turkeys that were left was
r going gobble-gob-gob-gob-gobble 1
And some of them went sailing off
across the yard. One of them lighted
on top of the porch just outsjde
Farmer v Green's window and it
seemed to Fatty that that one made
the greatest racket of all. "
; Farmer Green's window flew up;
And Farmer Green's voice called
'Spot' Spot"?
' Fatty Coon did, not wait to hear
anything more. He dropped the
turkey he had seized and slipped
down to the grotfnd. And then he
ran toward the woods ,as fast as he
could go.
" Farmer Green's dog Spot was
barking; now. And 'Fatty wanted
to climb one of the trees by the
roadside.- But he remembered the
narrow escape he had had when the
dog had treed him near the corn
field. So heTiever stopped until he
Reached the woods. Then he went
nimbly up into the trees. And while
Spot was barking at the foot of the
first tree he climbed, Fatty was
travelling through the tree-tops to
ward home.
, He never said anything to his
mother about Farmer Green's tur
keys. But the next time he saw
Jasper Jay Fatty told him exactly
what he thought of him.
"Ha' ha'" Jasper Jay only
laughed. And he did not seem at
all surprised that Fatty had fallen
into trouble. To tell the truth, he
was only sorry because Fatty ha-J
escaped. y Jasper Jay did not like
Fatty Coon. And he had told him
nbout the forty fat turkeys because
.'" lie hoped that Fatty would get
caught if he tried to steal one of
them. .' !
' "Wait till I catch you " Fatty
said.
. - Dut Jasper Jay only laughed
harder than ever when Fatty said
that. . He seemed to think it was
, great joke. He was most annoy
ing. (Copyright. Gosset & Dunlap.)
Where It Started
The Rapid-Fire Gun."
In 1881 the British government or
dered a gun that would fire six
pound projectiles at the rate of 12
aimed shots to the minute. The gun
was supplied, making the first of
this type as distinguished from the
' smaller caliber machine-guns.
Trance produced a three-pounder at
about the same time. Hotchkiss, an
American working in France, in
vented a three and six-pound model,
the first order for which came from
the United States.

HOLDING A HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
Why Madge Woke Dicky the Sec
j ond Time,
I returned to our room outwardly
calm, but inwardly quaking at the
almost certain prospect of Dicky's
unreasonable anger when he found
out that I had decided to .use my
reservation, in spite of the railroad
strike.
1 wtas not particularly happy,
either, at the thought of the jour
ney alone, for I had no idea that
Dicky would go with me, and the
fact that I had decided the matter
without consulting him was enough
to arouse his obstinacy. But he had
roused mine by his refusal to go
downstairs and see the agent him
self, and the thought of his atti
tude strengthened mine as I reached
the door of my room.
Mother Graham caught me as I
put my hand upon the doorknob.
I had wondered at her tardiness,
for she is always full of curiosity
concerning any unusual happening
iiv the household, but she evidently
had been busy with her adored
grandchild. '
Come in here, she directed,
crisply, i from the door of her own
room, and I promptly obeyed her,
glad of the chance to but off my
interview with Dicky. Kot that I
expected my mother-in-law to be
less difficult in her attitude, but her
opinions or opposition mean so
much less to me than do my hus
band's. "What did that ticket agent
want?" she demanded, when I had
closed the door and been raptur
ously greeted by my baby boy from
his crib, where ' his grandmother
kept him until the chill of the morn
ing had passed.
Mother Graham's Order. '
"He came to advise us to cancel
our reservations," L said, quietly.
"He says he is instructed not to
guarantee trains farther than Rich
mond, on account of the railroad
strike." ,
"What I" she almost screamed.
"Say that again!"
I repeated the statement, while her
mouth, which had flown open at my
first words; tightened like a nut
cracker.
"Fiddlesticks" she exclaimed.
"That's just a fake. He wants to
give your tickets to some of these
millionaire snobs down here whom
he knows, and who happen to want
'em- just for tonight. Did you let
him bamboozle you out of your
reservations? You're ilways so
easyl Where was Richard that he
didnt see him and settle him?"
I choked off the laughter that
threatened to bubble from my lips
in spite of my very real anxiety.
Her tirade was so amusing in view
of the real facts. But I was grate
fuj indeed for the way she received
WHY
lithe "Christmas Tree" Associat
ed With Christmas?
Digging back into the folk
lore of various nations, we find a
number of legends surrounding
the light-and-present-bedecked
which is now a symbol of Christ
mas in a majority of homes
throughout the world. The Scan
dinavians, for example, still relate
the story of the "service-tree"
which sprang from the blood
drenched Soil where' two lovers
had died, and at certain fights in
the Christmas season, mysterious
lights were seen flaming from its!
branches lights that no wind
could extinguish. '
The French version of the story
is that one of the early knights
found a gigantic tree whosi
branches were covered with
burning candles some standing
erect, some upside down and at
the top, the vision of a child with
a halo round its head. The
knight asked the pope for an
explanation of the mystery, and
was told that the tree undoubted
ly represented mankind', the can
dles, good and bad humans, anj
the child was the Saviour.
- Sir George Birdswood, the emi
nent Egyptologist, explains the
Christmas tree as "being derived
from the ancient Egyptian prac
tice of decking houses at the time
of tlje winter solstice with branch
es of the date-palm, the symbol
life over death."
As a permanent institution
the Christmas tree can be traced
back only as far as the 16th cen
tury, appearing, apparently for
the first time in its now accepted
form, in Strassbourg. For sev
eral centuries the tree remained
a custom which was confined al
most entirely to German or to
those of German descents and in
1860 the German residents of
Paris could obtain a Christmas
tree only with the greatest diffi
cult'. Nine yea,rs later, however,
the trees were sold in the mar
kets and Paris uses now nearlv
100,000 of them each year. The
marriage of Queen Victoria to a
German prince brought the tree to
England, and the German emi
grant to America spread the cus
tom through this country.

my news. I knew that I would
have an effective ally in my ex
pected combat with Dicky.
"I tried to get Dicky up, buf you
know how he is when he's sleepy."
I said, beginning to answer her
questions in the reverse - order of
their asking. "'So I had to see the
'man myself. And I told him that
I would keep my reservation, and
go tonight as far as I could get and
that Dicky would tell him about his
as soon as he awakened and could
get to the station. Of course, I
don't know whether Dicky will be
lieve the agen,t or not."
Dickjr Full Awake.
I tried to makA my manner a tacit
agreement with her belief that the
agent was making a mountain out of
a molehill for his own purposes.. I
succeeded admirably.
"111 attend to Richard," she, said
grimly. "He's sold the house over
our heads. Now he'll go north and
find us another,' if he has to walk.
You go in there and wake him tip
and tell him I want to talk to him.
. 1 went, much strengthened in
spirit by my doughty mother-in-law.
And I shook Dicky awake again
with much more confidence than . I
had felt the first time I had awakened
him, when Mandy had brought me
the sumtfions from the ticket agent.
"For the love of Mikel" Dicky
growled, as he opened his eyes. "I
told you'"
"I know you djd," I replied equa
bly, "but your mother demanded that
I wake you up, for she wishes to see
you at once. You know she will be
in here herself if you don't get up."
Dicky can wind his mother around
his little finger when he chooses to
exercise his power. But' I suspect
that the task is so formidable that he
doesn't often care to undertake it,
and I noticed that any ordinary re
quest of his mother's has all the
force that a stern parent's, command
to a small boy would have.
"Cuss the luck I" he grumbled,
climbing out of bel. "I never yet
got into a decent ,sleep but some
yawping female dragged me out of
it to attend to some fool thing. Now
get out of here while I dress, but
tell me one thing first What did
that ticket agent want?" ,
I repeated the ticket agent's mes
sage for the second time within a
half-hour, reflecting whimsically that
I would be letter perfect in it if the
thirst for information on the part of
my family continued. -Dicky broke
into- picturesque and emphatic ex
pletives when he heard it, and I
d?rted out of the room, glad indeed
to postpone an answer to the ques
tion I knew was next on his lips a3
to my reply.

BENNY TRIES FOR
A JOB.
By FRANK H. WILLIAMS.
Benny Carmichacl was an earnest
young man and a good looking
young man, but his clothes were
worn and his face bore a somewhat
haggard look. Benny had been hav
ing hard luck since he left 'the army.
It had seemed to be absolutely im
possible for him to get started on
a good job or to retain the jobs he
did secure. And his hard luck was
all the more serious to Benny be
cause of the fact, that he was in love
with a beautiful girl and was very
anxious to get married.
The girl was Marry Adams. She
was young and earnest, too. And
she was head over heels in love with
Benny. ' , : .!
It was only natural, of course, that
under such circumstances gloom
should cloud, over them as they set
close together on the sofa in the
parlor of the boarding house where
Mary lived. Benny, had his arm
around Mary as they sat there and
her head was on his shoulder.
"It's only a chance, of course,"
said Benny, "but it's the only open
ing I can find. Art Dawson is a
candidate for the position of presi
dent of the Acme company. If he's
elected at the special stockholders'
meeting to be held soon, he's going
to appoint ;me to a job in his of
fice a job that will bring in enough
money so we can be married."
."Oh, I hope Dawson wins out!"
sighed Mary.
"I'm going to do my best to help
him but things look dubious," said
Benny.
Mary sighed a little. Shewas a
wise little woman even if she was
young and even if she was so en
trancingly pretty that most people
thought she had no brains at all.
And Mary, being wise, realized that
it was now or never if she was to
marry Benny. She realized that
they could not just be engaged for.
ever and she knew that they could
not marry on his present income.
So it was up to Benny and to her
to put Dawson over and to live
happily ever after.
But things did look dubious. And
they looked a lot more dubious than
ever when Mary during the next
few days did some quiet little in
vestigationg into local conditions.
Not only did it appear, that the tide
was running against Dawson among
the stockholders, but it appeared to
Mary that some sort of an under
current was also setting strongly
against him. ,
What was this undercurrent?
What was going on behind the
scenes? i
Mary was a good little investi
gator and she soon found out. And
what she found amazed and horri
fied her.
"There's something wrong going
on!" Mary cried to Benny. "That
crowd -that is supposedly booming
Dawson is really going to double
cross him. They're pretending to
work for Dawson when they are
really straining everjt effort to make
Smith the president!"
"You're sure?"
"Absolutely!"
Benny's eyes narrowed and he
clenched his fists. JT thought some
thing like this was going on! But
I couldn't put my hand on it!"
"They're going to ave a meeting
tonight in Smith's office," said
Mary. "Maybe you could "
She stopped suggestively. Benny's
eyes took fire at the half veiled
suggestion in Mary's words.
"By jove, I'll go there and break
the whole thing up," he cried.
Benny was as good as his word.
Early that evening he went to the
place where the sub-rosa meeting
was to be held. Mary was with him,
having flatly refused to remain away.
Benny was familiar with the office
and knew how to enter one of the
connecting storerooms. Once there,
he opened the' door into the main
office and, holding Mary's hand, sat
down to await events.
They did not have to wait long.
It was just a short time later that
the conspirators entered the room.
Through a crack in the door. Benny
recognized Johnson, who had been
one of the leading factors in the
fight to make. Dawson the president.
He also recognized Smith and some
workers in the opposite ranks.
The men seated themselves,
lighted cigars and pipes and the
meeting started. They stated the
situation frankly.
"We'll make Smith the president
easily," declared Johnson. "Then we
can do the things we have in mind,"
"It'll be a good joke in Dawson,"
laughed Smith.
"But he won't see the fun of it!"
ejcculated Johnson.,
At this , moment .Benny saw red
and he burst from the store- room
like a young tornado.
"You crooks 1" cried Benny. "I'm
not going to stand for this sort of
frame-up. You'Ve got to call this
deal off or I'll spread it all over town
in the newspapers!"
Johnson looked startled at first,
hut quickly regained his composure,
n fact he smiled shyly to Benny.
Don t get excited, young fel
low," Johnson grinned, "Of course,

proposition uninvited and . have
gotten the whip hand on us, we'll
give you what you want provided
you.keep your mouth shut.
"Give me what I want?" repeated
Benny. "What do you mean?"
"Why," explained , Johnson,
blandly, "we'll give you that job
you want so badly if you'll vote
for Smith and have your proxies do
the same. Smith will then have so

gasped! Temptation came to him i
sorely. V There, was hardly a chance
of Dawson being elected, anyhow.
And if he took up this offer then
everything would be smooth sailing
he and Mary could get married
at once. And, after all. he'd merely
promised to help Dawson and lots
of promises were broken every day
in the business world. '
But Benny came of good stock.
'Loyalty , was inherent :n him.j
double-crossing entirely foreign to
his nature. And, after the first
wave of temptation, he gave John
sen his answer: "Not in a Thou
sand years! And I'll just tell the
folks what you're doing by getting
this story into the papers."
"No you don't!" suddenly cried
Johnson, leaping at Benny.
Johnson was a husky, belliger
ent individual and he bore down
tempestuously upon Benny. - Bcnny
saw that he'd have to fight.
But there were too many oppo
nents for him. He fought hard, but
blow after blow was rained upon
him, not alone by Johnson, but by
his assistants as well. He, heard
Mary scream. Then, suddenly,
everything went black. ,
When Benny came to himself he
found that he was in a bed in a
hospital. Mary was seated near
him holding his hand. She smiled
gladly and radiantly at Benny as
he opened his eyes and looked at
her.
Oh, Benny, I'm so glad you now
me!" Mary cried. "You've been sick
a. long time." '
"How long?" queried Benny
weakly. "What's happened?''
"The Acme, elections over!"
"And ?" queried Henny
"Nobody but Dawson would be

we couldn't do a thing. I And "
"And ?" gasped Benny.
."Dawson was defeated!" s
(Benny gulped. The world
seemed gloomy indeed to hint in
that moment. He saw Mary fad
ing from him. He saw his life
stretching out interminably lone
some and unhappy.
"But," cried Mary, squeezing
Benny's hand tightly." "The most
wonderful thing happened!"
"What?" gasped Benny again,
weakly.
