BADGER
BY ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY 1
VII.
Mr. Coyote Remembers.
TJie next evening, just at dusk,
P.cuny Badgeileft his den and set
forth on his usual nightly ramble.
By way of exercise, and for the
Benny Padger shewed no joy ovej
Jthat promiss.
sake of the fun it gave him, and to
improve his appetite, he dug a few
holes. And by the time it was dark
he was hungry as a lcar and ready
to look once more for ffesh holes
made by Ground Squirrels.
lie had decided not to wait for
itr. Coyote to join him, before be
ginning his search. And he even
hoped that Mr. Coyote had forgotten
all about his promise to meet him
and help him hunt.
But Bcnnv Badger was to havcino
such good fortune as that. It was
not long before he heard Mr. Coyote
calling to him. And though he made
no answer, thinking tljat Mr. Coyote
might not be able to hud him, in a
few minutes that sharp-faced gentle
man came bounding up at top speed.
"Herfc 1 am!-' he cried, as soon as
he spied Benny Badger. "1 see you
started out without waiting for me.
You didn't think I'd dtsappoint you,
did you?"
"I was afraid you wouldn't."
Benny answered a remark thatMr.
Coyote seemed not to understand.
lor a moment or two he looked
somewhat puzzled. But. he decided,
evidently, that Benny meant to be
pleasant, but didn't know hoy lo.be.
"Now, then." Mr. Coyote said.
while Benny Badger shuddered at
his harsh voice, "now then, where
do von think we'd better look for a
holer" .
"For pity's sake, don't likiwl so
loud!" Benny Badger besought him.
"You'll waken all the Ground Squir
rels in the neighborhood if you're so
noisy.
"Pardon me!" . said Mr, Coyote
ery meekly, lowering his voice, but
promptly raising it again. "Do you
know of any fresh holes around
here?" r
Benny Badger' said that he didn't.
"Then you'd better hunt for one at
oncc, Mr. Coyote declared, sitting
down on' his haunches as if he hadn't
the slightest notion of doing any of
the searching himself. "While you're
looking, I'll sing a little song," he
announced.
"You needn't trouble yourself to
do that," Benny Badger told him
hastily.
"Oh, it's no trouble at all. I as
sure you," Mr. Coyote replied.
" "Well don't" you do it, anyhow."
Benny warned him. "If you sing,
you'll spoil everything, because I
shall not be able to look for any
hole."
"I see," said Mr. Coyote, looking
more than-pleased. "You'd want to
stop and listen to me, of course."
"Jt's not that," Benny Badger cor
rected him. "I may as well tell you
that I don't like your songs at all."
"J have some that you've never
heard," Mr. Coyote explained.
"I don't want to hear them."'
Benny Badger informed him. "I may
as well tell you that yctur songs
drive me almost crazy."
It -would not have been surpris
ing if. Mn Coyote had flown into, a
great rage. But he dfa not. Instead,
he pretended to wipe a tear away
from each -of his eyes. "Tt's a pitv"
he sighed "it's a pity that you don't
understand music. Some time -T .will
teach you to sing with the help of
my six brothers."'
Benny Badger showed no joy over
that protfnse. But he felt rqlieved
when Mr. CoyoV agreed not to sing
that night. And theirBcnny set out
plone to look for a fresh Ground
Sauirrel's hole, leaving Mr. Coyote
w ith his fare- hidden in his pockeU
handkerchief.

seme flowers, some fruit or a delicacy
which might tempt the appetite, but

In convalescence, write a letter, a

Be chatty with your shut-in friend.
Tell all the little news of your home

Parents' Problems
Should girls o? 14 be allowed to
read novels?
The standard novels, yes. Every
girl will be the better and happier
for having" read Scott's "Kenilworth,"
and Thackerv's "The Newcomes."
and Dickens' "Dav.id Copperfield."
But lew ot tne mouern novels are
wise reading for so young a girl
and she would - not enjoy them.
However, if she is very eager to read
some "new" novels. "An Island Mys
tery," by G. A. Birmingham;
"Pegasus on Wheels, by Christo
pher Morlcy. and "The Severed Man
tle," by .William ,1-indsey, are all de
lightful and Suitable. Also, they
make good out-loud reading.
Where It Started
Dobinoes.
"The game of dominoes. wTn'ch was
invented in the 18th century, is of
obscure origin, but has been ascribed
to the Italians. The original pieces
were of ebony, with an ivory face.
The ebony, with the white face and
black dots, had a fancied resemblance
to the mask and domino which were
worn at that time, and the tame de
rived its name from this fact.

WHY-
vDo Judges Wear Gowns?
Like many other . customs
con-
nectcd with the law, the wearing of
a black gown by the presiding magis
trates of the higher courts is a sur
vival of the English practice which,
in itself, dates back to the time of
theniddlc ages. During this period
the practice of law was confined
principally to the clergy, who were
almost the only learned men in the
kingdom, and who, of course, wore
their characteristic dress even when
they were arguing Mses growing out
of the troubles of ciVil life.
When laymen commenced to act'
as lawyers, they too adopted a gown
similar to that of the clergy, and, as
a compromise between the hood of
the monk's robe and the tonsure or
shaved spot on the top of the head,
they wore a "caif" a species of
nightcap, originally of linen, bot
later fashioned of silk. When ihe
custom of wearing wigs came into
vogue.- during the seventeenth cen
tury, this caif gave way to an elab
orate wig, which, w"ith only a slight
modification in shape and size, may
be seen today in many of the British
courts.In, America, howevef, the ;
custom of-wearing wrgTin court was
of short' duration, though the king
flowing gown is still a part of the
formal attire "of all the judges of
supreme . courts,- and even those of
a -number' of lesser tribunals.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
Today's talismanic stone is the
.j,,.
lan, symbolic of martial felic
ity. It was. believed by the an
cients to haye the power of assur
ing a hapoy home to the married
woman who wore it. -
The. natal stone for today is the
cfitynoud. which is sure to bring the
best of luck, especially in financial
matters, to its wearer unless it bears
a red spot. In that event, it has a
baleful influence and should be dis
posed of at once.
j Orange is today's color, and is
equally' potent in bringing happi
ness, if worn by itself or if it is
used as a trimming on a frock of
another color.
The jonquil is today's flower.

Probably the main cause of dis

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. I. klNG. .
Opals.
The superstition with regard lo the j
opal that it is an unlucky gem ap
pears to be of northern origin.- In
the east the opal has always been re
garded as rather a lucky stone and in
Egyptian. Grecian and Roman his
tory there is no evidence of any sin
ister significance attaching to the
gem. But groping amid the dim
shadows of Xprse' mythology we find
the probable genesis of the supersti
tion common among English-spealf-ing
people today., n the "Edda,"
that famous collection of Scandina
vian mythology, $ is stated that Yol
nor, the Scandinavian vulcan, fash
ioned out of the eyes of children a
gem called yarkstein, which was, ap
parently, the opal. And it was a
common belief (in the middle ages
that by looking into the pupil of the
eye the figure of a boy or a girl could
be seen.
This early connection Jjetwcen the
eye and the opal persisted down to
the time of Queen Elizabeth and
doubtless owed something to the
physical resemblance between the
white of the eye arid a very "milky"
opal. In Elizabeth's reign Dr. Bat
man writes: "This optallius (opal)
keepcth and .savcttv the eye of him
that bears it and dimeth other men's
eyes so that it in a manner inaketh
them blind, so that they may not see
what is done before them, so thai it
i-.i saidito be tHc patron of thieves."
This is ccarly a variant of the evil
eye superstition, the opal being the
eye; and, taken in connection with
the gruesome rt'stom of Yolnor re-
crdea in the lda sutncieniiyex-
plains the inherited, intuitive dis
trust with which thesupcrstitious re
gard the opal today.
