"You're a go -o to work .-o linrd ?4 "Silly'T-lr Blackbird jeered for our food.' Mr. lllacklm'd jeered j our fine spring day a-i lie ul on t hi- i cardeu fence and looked down at ( irandfatlirr Hole. "You uub'lit to eliang? your liabits. Just look at j me! I- gel plenrv to eat. And 1 do precious little digging for it, be lieve inc! I tell you, there's a bet ter way thuii yo'ir.s'" Xaturally. ( iraudfather M o 1 e couldn't look at Mr. Blackbird. But he raided his head in hi odd fashion. "What's thai!'" be inquired. 'W hat's a better . ay than mine?" But Mr. Blaekb'rd was in no hurry to tell all be knew. "Suppose," he "1 ,-bould yx- ;)laiji my method to you. You could follow it for soine weeks and liv well without much trouble. And ;hen when the spring ploughing is finished f she;:!'! want vou to sup j plv me wivh angleworms for the ! same length of time. iou know you cant expert1 me to give away I mv ecrct for notlvnar. "But 1 like to dig," Grandfather I Mole replied. "You inav have no- I ticeil that 1 ant built for that sort of ! work." i What Grandfather Mole said was j true. His drill-like nose, bis pow erful forc-U'R.'. and big. strong feet all served to make him the fastest digger in 1'leasnit Valley. Mr. Blackbird regarded him with a sly smile. "You eem to be bu'U for eating, too," he observed. Grandfather Mole soon confes-cd that Mr. lHackbird's mention of angleworms bad made him so hungry that be was ready to promise to do as Mr. Blackbird had proposed. So Mr. Blackbird cried that it va, a bargain. "And now,'' he said, "listen tare fully while I whisper the secret, for I don't want everybody to hear it. . . . I follow the plough," he explained. "It turns up a great quantity of anyieworms. The only work I have to ilo is to pick 'em up with my bill." Somehow Grandfather Mole did not appear as delighted as Mr! Blackbird had expected. "How can I fellow the plough when I can't sec where it's going?" he asked. "Silly!" Mr. Blackbird jeered. "You can find our way along a fur row, can't vol!?'' Grandfather Mole thought he could do that. "But you're forgetting Henry Hawk!" 'he' reminded Mr. Blackbird. "Fanner Green ploughs in the daytime. And Henry Hawk might sec me." "He wouldn't be likely to notice you if you crept along the bottom of a furrow." Mr. Blackbird assured Grandfather Mole. "Anyway. I'll be there. And I'll warn vou if Hei;rv Hawk appears in the sky." Grandfather Moie was relieved. And Mr. Blackbird told him to be ready the next morning. (Copyright Gosset &. Dunlap. ) HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phase of Revelations oj a Wife How Katie Received the News of the Vandals. 1 purposely guided Katie to the neat beside me in the automobile nd left Jim and the baggage in the 'onncau. I knew that before we .cached home I must prepare the girl for the chaos she would find inside '.he house she bad left in exquisite order. And I did not want her on the back seat of the car when I did it. - Katie herself solved one problem 'or me the introduction of the sub ject by the query which she put to nie' before I had started the car. "Vou sec dot house yet, Missis Graham?" "Yes, Katie." . "You like vay 1 left heem?" "Very much. You arc a very good little housekeeper." I felt shoved into a blind alley. Then, like Jean Valjean, 1 scaled the wall surrounding me by a tremen dous effort. "Something very exciting bap nened vestcrdav. Ktotie." I said, with as mysterious an air as I could man-. 4ge. "and I want you and Jim to see what good detectives vou can he." "Oh-h! Vat?" Katie squealed. ' Did robbers coom in house?" I thanked my stars silently. Any thing exciting, mysterious, is meat 'o Katie's movie-fed soul. She would ;e so busy trying to discover the marauders that she would forget to be tcmpery over the confusion in the house and the labor which would confront her. Madge's Offer. "Somebodv has been in the house," T returned, "but we cannot find out whether they have taken anything or not. But, Oh. such contusion. Ka tie! They have thrown things about, broken china and dashed fruit juice on the walls and paper. Things are really ii terrible shape. 1 bate to make you so much work, Katie, but I only 'found if out yesterday after noon, so 1 couldn't get a woman at it before this morning, and I thought I'd better wait and let you see it first before we decided what to do. I'll get yeft a woman to help you clean up if you like." Katie tossed her head. 'T vant no woman." she said loit ilv. ,"Dey no clean corners, dey shoost Tift, brpom and throw dirt abound a leetle. Dey vatch qlock for time to say 'Three dollars, please.' " I laughed heartily, as much from relief al her attitude toward the un expected work-in front of her as at her mannr, ludicrous as that was. "Just as you like, Katie." I re turned. "Of course, you know I will give you something extra for the work." ."I so worried about dat. I tink T can't eat me my dinner," she laughed scornfully. Then with a sudden change of manner she leaned forward, trying to catch my eye. "Who you tink did dot, Misses Graham?" Katie Has a Theory. The road was clear in front of me, so I turned my head and smiled at her reassuringly. ' "We haven't the slightest idea. Ka tie. Boys, I suppose, hunting money." She shook her head decidedly. "I tio tink so. Eet some enemy, somebody hunting something dey tink in dot house. I bet I find out who eet is.'' "I hope you can. Katie," I said cordially. ' "Xow, suppose you tell Jim about it. I can't do it very well whilrt'm driving." "Oh-h! ' Jeem!" Katie's hail would have reached Jim. I tbir,k, if he had been a quarter of a mife in stead of three feet from "her. And tor the rest of the way home her tongue was tireless in its task of enlightening Jim. "Please flcjt mc have Ley, quceck," fslie entreated, as we turned in the driveway. "Put your hand in the pocket of my motor coat," I returned. She obeyed me, secured the key and had her hand on the handle of the car door as I drew up by the side door.. "Hurry up, Jeem!" she called, im patiently, as she jumped to the ground and ran up the steps. But before the slower-moving Jim had alighted from the car and re spectfully assisted me to alight, we heard her shrieking ejaculations of dismay over the wreck of the dining room and kitchen. Wc found her in the ready tears which always come to Katie's eyes in any stress of emotion. ' "Oh, my pretty kitchen!" she wailed. "Yot shall I do? Yot shall I do?" Little Mrs. Durkcc's kindly voice sounded behind me. I realized before she spoke that she had come lo make amends for her tartness of the morning. (Continued Monday.) Do You Know the Bible? (Cover up trip answers, read the- ques tions and see if you can answer them, j Then look at the answers to see If you are richt.) i Arranged by J. Willson Roy. 1 Why did Pharaoh refuse to let the Israelites depart from Egypt? 2 Why was Noah commanded to build the ark? 3 Why did the ark occupy so many years in building? 4 Whv was the tower of Babel built? 5 Why was the place called Babel? ANSWERS. 1 Because he wished to show con tempt for the mission of Moses and Aaron, and his people found the services of the Israelites profitable lo them. 2 Because the iniquity of man kind had determined God to sweep them from the face of the earth, pre serving in the Ark only Xoah. his family and two of every kind of animals. 3 That the people might benefit by the continual warning afforded by its gradual erection, and the preaching of Xoah. 4 Because the descendants of Xoah feared a second deluge, and sought by the erection of a very high structure, to avert some of its con sequences. 5 From1 the Hebrew word signi fying "confusion." (Copyright, UL'C. Wheeler Syndicate. Jnc.) Parents' Problems What is the best course to follow with a child of 3 who holds her breath when hurt or angry? Pain may cause a nervous child to do this thing so alarming to par ents and yet. some physicians say, so entirely safe. Temper may cause it, even in a child who is not ner vous. Consult the family physician as to what to do; he mav advise, as mine does, that no attention what ever be taken of. it. But consult him. Where It Started Checkers. While the actual origin of the game of checkers is shrouded inthe mists of antiquity, there is no doubt that it has been played for count less years. Egyptian records of 1600 B. C. show the game being played. In China and in ancient Greece checkers was a popular game. The natives of Xew Zealand have been found by explorers to play a game along the same lines.
