She had long since disposed of the last mouse "that was so foolish as to venture inside her home. And be ing very big, and not at all timid, she haxi made a name for herself' in It was great fun for the c. the neighborhood that even the rats looked on Jier as a monster to be avoided. ' Now it often happened that this capable cat turned up her nose at the saucer of milk that Faruier Green's wife set before her vjith great regularity. And off she would go sometimes to the barn, , some times, to the fields to see what she could find that would furnish her both food and frolic. For she thought-it great sport to capture some small creature. She was crossing the garden early one morning, on her way to : - the meadow, when she- came upon Grandfather Mole. And having no pity for him in spite of his blind ness she thought there was . no sense in going any further for her breakfast. She would enjoy . it right there in the gardeiv But first she would play with Grandfather Mole, before eating. For she was a pleasure-loving dame. She must have her sport, no ma'tter if her breakfast waited. ,,. Grandfather' Mole -had blundered that morning; Burrowing his way under the surface "of the ground.-he had. broken through the sun-baked crust of the garden before he knew it. And as i groped " about, sur prised to.findj. himself in the open, Miss Kitty Pounced Upon him. Grandfather- Mole struggled to es cape. And hts captor let nun go, to give herself ibe pleasure of pounc ing upon hint, again. She knew well enough that -jhe - couldn't get away from her. He could run quite spryly for an old gentleman it is true. But when' he couldn't see where he was going, of what use was runr ning? ' Farmer Green's eat didn't knoW the answer to that question herself. She captured and freed Grandfather Mole, several times. And to tell the truth, she couldn't help wishing he could" see, so he could make the game livelier. But she was the sort of cat that believes in making the best of things. And she kapt , pre tending that Grandfather Mole al most got away from her. he would let him run about for a few moments and then would leap upon him as if she had nearly lost him. It was great fun for the cat. But Grandfather Mole did' not enjoy it in the least.' He thought such treat ment far from neighborly. And he quite agreed, .'with old Mr. Crow, who had come hurrying. up to see what was going on. - - . ; "Give him a ch"ance! Give him a chancel" Mr. Crow called to the cat, as he glared down at. her. from a tree close by. 4': ' The cat had been about to spring at Grandfather Mole again when Mr. Crow spoke to her. It was only natural that she should pause and turn her head. And she .looked at Mr. Grow none too pleasantly. "I'll thank you to mind your own affairs," she said, and he voice was not nearlv so police as her- words. "No gentleman would interrupt a lady at her breakfast," she added. Something seemed to amuse Mr. Crow, for he laughed loudly. The cat didn't know what Ije was laugh ing at. And. after sfanng at him- a few minutes .longer She tyrned her head tclook at Grandfather Mole. It wasn't more than ten seconds since she had taKen ner eyes on him. But Grandfather Mole had van ished. . Copyright Grosset & Dunlap. Divorce Court I " Dlvn-M! PetltUiim. KllKiibotli McKeniitt against tvirl Mi: Kcnim. rrnelly.

Do We Have Wrinkles? , As .most people realize, wrinkles are synonyms with wwry and with age, the former .leading to involun tary contractions of various portions of the face particularly those situ ated near the eyes and mouth and the latter causing the tissues .which support the outer layers of skin to sag and give, thus giving rise to fur rows and wrinkles. Beauty hints and the claims of various prepara tions, to the contrary, wrinkles are really unavoidable, though freedom from worry and the scientific appli cation of massage treatments and re liable skin foods Wili prevent them from appearing at a comparatively early age. . As time goes on, however, the skin becomes shrivelled and pucicered, es; pecially in persons who are thin, lor here there is no underlying founda tion of fatty tissue to support the skin, which becomes too loose for the body and falls into folds.

You Cannot Live Alone. It is not a difficult matter for one to get into the . way of thinking that he should live unto himself alone. It is not hard to get into a line of thought which . encourages . the, idea that fellow men are not necessary to personal comfort and life enjoy ment, and why should one seek or desire . friendship? . When thjs stage is reached life is fast losing the beautiful and attrac tive side. The one who live for himself mere ly gets little real pleasure. There must be some outside inter ests to put . zest into living. Iii this big little world the person al interests and happiness of an in dividual are too small, the sphere too limited to give adequate enjoy ment.' Thinking only of self weazefts the mind, drys up the life forces. The sunshine contact with others is kept out. The happiness one can give others in closer contact is a reflected - sun shine which warms the heart and lire of the giver of companionship. -Companionship ' is the greatest agency for enjoyment in mortal life. But it-must be true comanionship the kind which is willing to sacri-' lice if necessary.

Of course you did if you are a real Yankee, country .bred, and never suspected that you were invoking t lie Xorsc gods and goddesses of old. Another way of conjuring with the ladybug was to place it in the open, palm' and, saying. ."Fly east, fly west, fly to the one I love best,' blow upon it, when it .will fly off in search of your destined love.

With her brother, Frey,' she presided over love and the growing crops. It was .probably the bright markings of the. wing-covers of the ladybug sometimes called the ladybird which caused it to be as sociated with Freyja in her capacity as goddess of love, and the fact that ; the little ' beetle is a great help to the farmer and fruit, grower in de stroying -plant lice and scale that originated the idea that it was sent to earth by the goddess jn her ca pacity as patroness of agriculture.
