CHAPTER XI.
The Circus Parade.
-,if,it. hadn't been for the circus
posters on Farmer Green's barn, the
idea of having a circus parade would
never have occurred to Jimmy Rab-
, ,
, You see, all those wonderful pic
tures set him thinking. And he lost
no time in inviting everybody to help.
He even invited Peter Mink, though
- he was sorry, afterwards, that he
had. , . ,
For a day or two everybody in the
neighborhood of Blue mountain was
as busy as he could be, getting ready
, for the parade. Cuffy Bear had
promised to be the elephant, because
he was so big. Frisky Squirrel was
to be a wolf, on account f his being
so gray. And Jimmy had invited
Peter Mink to march as a giraffe,
for the reason that he had such a
long neck. And as for Jimmy Rab
bit himself, he said that he expected
to be a little pitcher, because he had
) . heard that they had big cars.
"Ive heard that, too," remarked
Hilly Woodchuck. "But I never
knew that a pitcher was an animal."
"Well, you see you have a i;ood
, deal to learn," Jimmy Rabbit said.
Then . Tauuny Fox . murmured
f.inicthing about having heard that
little pitchers had big mouths, too,
and that t hoy always talked a good
deal. But Jimmy Rabbit made be
lieve he didn't hear him.
Everything would have been pleas
ant, on the day of the parade, if it
hadn't been for Peter Mink.f He in
sisted that he must lead the proces
sion, and that made trouble at once,
because Jimmy Rabbit had expected
to do that.
Peter finally settled the dispute.
"A parade,'' he said, "has two ends.
Of rot"", one person can't nvirch
i
' ' ' - '
a.
a queer thing happened
:it both ends at the-same:-time. So
while I march at the front end,
Jimmy Rabbit can rharch at the
other. And that's perfectly fair."
At first Jimmy Rabbit looked quite
glum. But pretty soon he seemed
to feel more cheerful; and he said,
. "All rightl" . 1
'Then there was a great bustle, and
much talking, as the parade prepared
to start.
, "Remember!" Peter Mink warned
everybody, "you must follow every
where I go, because I'm the leader.
At that, Cuffy Bear seemed some-
, what worried. lie knew that Peter
Mink was fond of squeezing through
' narrow places; and he didn't see how
he could follow him. ' ' I '.
But after a while Cuffy began to
"smile again right after Jimmy Rab
bit had come and whispered some
thing in his ear. .. You see, Jimmy
went to everybody in; the)' parade and
whispered. And last of .all he went
to Peter Mink and whispered in his
, car. too. ,
"Everybody must loolc straight
ahead," Jimmy tqld -Peter, "because
thats the way they always do in a
circus parade." N
"Don't yon suppose I know that,
jttsr as well as you do?" snapped
.' Peter Mink. "You'd better hurry
back to the other end of the parade,
because I'm going to start in ex
? actly two or three minutes I'm not
; sure which."
So Jimmy Rabbit hurried back as
: fast as he could. He might have run.
faster, if he hadn't stopped to wink
2 At every person in the line. But he
just managed to Veach his place when
: the- parade started.
J-"Then a queer thing happened.
"-Yhen everybody had taken 10 steps,
; the whle parade turned about in its
tracks and started marching in the
opposite direction. And now Jimmy
' Rabbit' led the procession, instead of
- Peter Mink.
T said the whole parade .turned
: uround; but what I meant to say was
r everybody but Peter Mink. You
' see, Jimmy Rabbit had told Peter
- not to look back, but to march
; straight ahead, with his eyes to the
. front. And naturally, Peter Mink
"supposed that that was what Jimmy
had whispered to everyone else,
i So away Peter Mink marched, try
i ing to look as much like a giraffe as
- he could, and feeling very proud, too
because he thought the parade was
following him.

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Look Yourself, Over.
Yoii' have spent a great deal of
. time and a great deal of hard-earned
money, along a certain line, with
: rather indifferent results.
You wonder whether you are wise
or foolish to keep on indefinitely.
There is no better time than the
present for you to take stock of your
talents and what you are doing with
- them.
You feel that if you are ultimately
successful the end attained is worth
it all.
In what sort of health is it pntting
4 you, and can you carry on to the end
and pay the price 6f what it takes
out of you personally?
To whom do jrou owe it to con
sider this nervous cost?-." .
Is it due to ydur own mismanage
i ment that you are ,so tired when
-night comes.' ot to, your owmmm
; calculation that von are no farther
" ahead financially?
' It is worth while to study it out
carefully. i
If you condense and conserve and

More Truth
-By JAMES J.
HOW CAN THEY DO JT?
Old Jake Kildare was a hard boiled egg
Uncommonly hard and grim ,
You never could borrow or coax or beg
The price of a meal from him.
The old man's wits were as keen as steel ;
Whatever he tackled paid;
He never was gyped on a business deal
Or trimmed on a single trade.
But when he shuffled his earthly cares
And lay in the cold, cold ground,
And the will was read to his rightful heirs
It jolted them when they found,
That he'd paid a million to buy a note
That only the other day,
In fond endearing terms he wrote
To a Jane in a cabaret. .
Jim Green was a man without romance
A sordid morose old gent '
Never by any sort of a chance
Was he moved by sentiment.
He took the shrewdest of sharpers in
With a grim and ghoulish pride,
And grinned an evil and savage grin
As he peeled a sucker's hide.
But when old Jim had passed along,
The world was amazed to find
That there wasn't the price of a marked-down co
in the wealth he had left behind.
It had all been paid for a missive, which, '
In a day not so long ago,
He had written a little blue-eyed witch
Who stood in the second row.
FAIR EXCHANGE
It may soon he necessary to offer to keep the tax and let the gov
ernment have the income.
NOT MUCH AT THAT
Apparently the shipping board and the ouija board were about
equally deserving of the confidence reposed in them.
THE RESULT IN THE END
Some ladies break into literature by learning how to write, and
some by learning how to shoot. , . ,

HOLDING A
Adele Garrison's
Revelations
The Aid Lillian Underwood Offered
Madge.
Lillian' had not exaggerated the
viitues of her new needle shower. I
revelled in its icy sting after my
luxurious hot tub and went back to
my room so refreshed that the dirt
and discomforts of my journey were
as something far m the past.
"I feel like a goddess!" I said en
thusiastically.
"You look like one." Lillian i
swept me a bow and flashed tne a
mocking smile. "Hut that bathrobe
i.-n't exactly Olympian , drapery.
Please get into something pretty
while I remind Dicky that his 10 ,
minutes are up."
She went out of the room, while I
hurried with my dressing and was
brushing out my hair when she re
turned. ' . ....-
I almost had to use force to sep
arate Dicky and Marion," she said.
"I don't know which was the harder
to pry loose. How he spoils that
child whenever he sees her!"
"I'd defy any one to spoil Marion,"
I returned warmly. . "She's unspoil
able." '
She is a dear." Lillian assented,
her face ai)d eyes glowing with the
look that comes to them whenever
she speaks of her idolized daughter.
"There! Tour hair is perfect! Don't
fusswith it a second longer. Is this
the gown you're going to put on?
I'll help you with the fastenings. I
warn you I'm not going to wait
much longer to hear about every
thing that's happened."
"You won't have to wait anothet
60 seconds," I replied. "I'll begin
from the minute I left New York,
and will tell you everything."
"Don't forget Grace Draper," she
said significantly.
I stared at her in amazement.
"Oh, I know about it" she said.
"You didn't mention it in your let
ters, but you see I keep tab on you
wherever you are. However, there
might be something which my par
ticular little news bird didn't know,
so don't forget anv details, please."
I paused for a moment's fleeting
wonder about the oerson of whom
she was speaking. My father? Majot
Grantland? But I knew there was
no use conjecturing. When Lillian
got ready to tell me she would do so,
Until that time I would be wise to
suppress all guesses and queries,
Obediently, therefore, I "began at
the beginning" and told her of all
tne. important incidents ot mv so'

"You certainly are up against it,"
she said, "especially with the housing
situation what it is. But that can
wait for a moment. Do you mean
to tell me that either you or Dicky
have any idea of forgiving that limb
of the evil one?".
"We've been too busy to considei
it,'' I answered evasively. "And, as
I told you, her letter has never been
answered.". ' ,
"It better not be!" she retorted
threateningly. "But we'll talk of
that later. Ihc first thing is to
plan what's to be done about your
house. Luckily. I've some time on
my hands, for a wonder. I've been
working like mad lately to make
up for the time lost by the flu, and
going so fast that I cleaned up
ahead more than jt've done in years.
So I m at liberty to help you.
"If it only wasn't for Marion I'd
go out to the house with you n
you wanted me to help you pack,
and let Dicky stay here in this
apartment, with Betty to take care
of him. He probably has an aw
ful lot of work ahead of him, and
the moving would upset him not
half so much as he'd upset us," she
finished naively.
My spirits rose with a bound. Lil
lian with me in this moving propo
sition meant the difference between
despair and hope. But, of course,
Marion in a hojse where moving
and packing were going on, was mv
possible. She would take cold with
out a doubt. : '
"If only there were some one
going to North Carolina in a few
weeks," I said tentatively.,.
"The very thing," she responded
efithusiastically. "You mean for
Marion to go down with your mother-in-law
and your father." ,-.
. "They would be delighted to have
her, you know. She is such a fav
orite with both" of them, v
"And can you imagine Marion's
ecstacy at being with Junior?" she
asked smiling. "Luckily, a woman
I know is going to Pinehurst this
week. She'll be glad to take Marion
with her to Cedar Crest." " ,

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
The lapis-lazuli is both the talis-
manic gem and the natal stone for
today. Among tne ancient fc-gyp-ti
.us it was regarded as a stone
meant for sirens, and Cleopatra and
other famous women frequently wore
it as an ornament. It was believed
also to be a cure' for the unhappiness
arising from disappointment in love.
It was also endowed with the
power to cure various iorms of fever,
according to ancient legends, but
those who wished to benefit by it
must wear it close to the flesh. .

Consider the bulk of a bis man. He
needs a lot of good food. And yet a simple
dish may so distress him that he will
throw his entire machinery out of older
by denying himself the very means of sus
taining strength. A better plan, far
better. Is to follow a meal with a Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet.
It aids digestion, supplies the stomach
with an alkaline effect and thus prevents
or relieves the distresses of gas-iness,
sour stomach, lumpy feeling in throat,
biliousness, intestinal indigestion and other
