CHAPTER XXV
Peter Mink' Promise.
It happened on a bleak winter's
day, that Grumpy Weasel was strol
ling along tlis bank of Broad Brook
when all at once he heard a squall.
Instantly he whirled around. There
was something about the cry that
sounded familiar. And while he
searched the stream up and down
with his sharp eyes he grew angrier
every moment.
"Unless I'm mistaken that's my
good-for-nothing cousin, Peter
.Mink," Grumpy muttered. "I'll teach
him not to squall at me the rascatl"
lie did not have to look long be
fore he caught sight of his cousin,
Peter Mink was crouched under the
overhanging bank, not far from the
edge of the frozen surface of the
brook. And he sauallcd again when
he saw that Grumpy had discovered
him.
"Stop that!" Grumpy Weasct bel
lowed. He was not greatly afraid
of Peter Mink, though his cousin
was, much bigger than he. "I'll have
you know that I don't allow people
to bawl at me, even if we are dis
tantly related."
"I wasn't bawling at you," Peter
Mink answered. And he was
strangely polite for him. "I was
calling for help. Can't you see that
my foot is caught in a trap?"
At that Grumpy jumped down
upon the ice and took a good look at
PeteY Mink. He saw, then, that

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
Oh! Dont do that !" Peter bctffied
piteootly:
Peter, spoke the truth. "This trap
hurts my foot, I can tell you," Peter
Mink whined. '
. "Maybe it will teach you not to
screech at people," Grumpy told him.
"You're going to help me, aren't
you?" Peter Mink asked his cousin
anxiously.
"That trap belongs to Farmer
Green's hired ' man," Grumpy in
formed Peter Mink. "I saw him
when he set it there. Perhaps you
would like to have me send word to
him that you're using it." .
"Oh! Don't do that!" Peter
begged piteously.
"Well, thensuppose I get old
dog Spot to come and see what he
can do! He'd have you out of that
trap in no time!"
. But that suggestion didn't suit
Peter Mink any better.
"For goodness' sake, can't you
think of something else?" he wailed.
His voice' rose higher and higher
as he spoke. And Grumpy Weas:l
showed his sharp teeth as he warned
Peter Mink again not to squall at
him, for he wouldn't stand it.
At last Peter saw that Grumpy
did not intend to help him at all. So
it occurred to himthat perhaps he
rould hire his cousin to free him
Irom the trap. "I'd do anything for
you if you coutd help me out of this
fix." he said finally.
"Will you drive Mr. Snowy Owl
away from Pleasant Valley?"
Grumpy cried.
"Certainly!" said Peter Mink with
great promptnesses if that were the
easiest matter in the world.
That answer surprised Grumpy
Weasel. He had no idea that Peter
Mink could do any such thing. And
he said as much, too. i
"You understand," Peter explained,
"it mav take' trie some time to get
rid of Ihim. . It's mid winter now.
But I can promise you that I'll have
him out of the valley by April Fool's
Day !:,:,, .

Parents' Problems
How can children best .be taught
to deny themselves in order to help
the needy?
Tell them of the needs of other
children,, who are cold, hungry, and
sorrowful. Explain to them that to
give up pleasures to help these chil
dren is .their privilege. Tell them
about the suffering children of
Europe and China,, and have them
save money to send to these chil
'dren save by self-denial.

WHAT'S THE USE.
When Doctor Einstein told us
We had not measured right
" The spaces that enfold us
I did not get him quite.
I bought and read his lectures
And weighty effort spent
In manifold conjectures
Concerning what they meant.
They seemed, on first perusing,
Like picture-puzzle games,
And almost as confusing
As books by Henry James.
But after weeks of study
The fog began to lift,
The subject grew less muddy
I thought I got his drift,
Almost without cessation '
I labored day and night;
With weary cerebration
I sought to see the light,
Till faint with my endeavor,
My vision dim and blurred,
I said: "By Gosh! I'm clever.
I understand this bird!"
Then-lo! A new professor
Announced the other night,
That Einstein's just a guesser
And never guesses right.
The dope on which I fed up,
The scientific junk
With which I filled my head up,
Was nothing but the bunk! .
Still, such is education;
We toil a weary while
Collecting information
That soon goes out of style 1 -

Palmistry.
Palmistry or chiromancy divina
tion by the palm of the hand--is
a pure superstition though from time
to time efforts have . been made to
exalt it into ' a "pseudo-science. It
flourished in -Assyria, ' Chaldea and
Egypt thousands of years 'ago and
was believed in by. the philosophers,
Blato, Aristotle, Antiochus of Aska
lon and ' Claudius Ptplemaeus. Its
country of -origin is- supposed to
have been the plains of Babylonia.
The Chaldean priests read destiny
not only, in the. stars but in .all. sorts
of natural phenomena. "", They dis
covered that on the palms of no
two men were the markings exactly

Dog Hill Paragrafs
' By George Bingham
The Wild Onion school teacher,
while walking across the foot-log
over Gander creek Friday aftenoon,
carrying his stack of books under
his arm, became overbalanced and
was almost thrown into -the stream.
Cricket Hicks, who once took a
week's course in bookkeeping, say
the teacher's books were out of
balance.
Sile Kildew has completed his new
chicken roost, and his own fowls
seem well pleased with it. He made
it extra long to make room for any
of his neighbors' chickens that might
come over. ,

Jewel, Flower. Color
Symbols for Today
. By MILDRED MARSHALL.
Today is dedicated to lovers, ac
cording to the gems which .rule this
date. The moonstone is the talis
manic gem, and is said by the an
cients to inspire love and to give to
those who love, t the ability to see
into the future. 'When given as a
symbol of betrothal when the moon
is full, it is said to ensure a happy
marriage. .
The diamond is the natal stone of
today, and was said by the ancients
to lose-its beauty if given as a sym
bol of love which would not last.
The fortunate color for today is
pale blue, which the ancients dedi
cated to Venus, the goddess of love.
Today's flower is the lily of the
valley, which is said to bring good
fortune when used as a decoration
for weddings or engagement par
ties., (Copyright, 1921, Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)
W H Y
Do We Refer to "Castles in Spain?"
Used as a synonym for day
dreams, for plans which will probab
ly never be brought to a successful
conclusion, this phrase had its ori
gin in the latter part of the 11th
century, and was connected with no
less a hero than Henry of Burgun
dy. M. Quitard, who traces the
French, equivalent of the .English
expression, is authority for the state
ment that when the Burgundian
crossed the Pyrenees at the head of
a large army of knights and loyal
followers- who were determined to
wrest glory and plunder from the in
fidels, Alfonso of Castile rewarded
his services with the hand of his
daughter Theresa, together with the
title to the county of Lusitania,
which, later, under t Alfonso Henri
quez, son of Henry and Theresa, bo
came the kingdom of Portugal.
-The wonderful success with wnich
Henry met in Spain, naturally in
cited the imagination of the other
nobles of France; and they too com
menced to ' dream of conquests
across the border and castles built
in Spain picturing the latter as sim
ilar to those which they were ac
customed to in France. But, up to
this time, only a very few castles
had been, built in Spai" and the
adventurers found they would have
to construct their moated fastnesses
for themselves, thus giving rise to
the satirical reference to "castles n
Spain" as indicative of something
which was only a dream. - ,

What but that for which they were
always seeking, a key to the door
of the future? And as a man' hand
is a rather personal matter it must
be the man's personal future which
was inscribed there. Besides, among
the ancients 'the hand was always
endued with a certain mystic charac
ter; it was the symbol of power and
of a divinely ordered fate; an idea
which we still retain in such expres
sions a "I saw in it the hand of
God."
Though palmistry was seriously
regarded during the middle ages it
soon disappeared everywhere except
among the wandering Gypsies. But
in the 19th century if reappeared as
one of those mental epidemics which
now and then seize upon mankind
and in the '80's flourished as a popu

Where It Started
Bri-
This particular type of sailing ship
has an origin in the days of the pi
rates, when a robbers' ship had to be
fast and strong to escape justice. A
"brigand" is a pirate, and a "brigan
dine" or "brigantinc," is a pirate's
ship an especially speedy model.
The word '"brig" is a contraction of
"brigantine."

YOU MEN AT
THE CLUBS
Did you ever stop to realize that when you.
are enjoying your noon-day smoke, chatting with
your brother member about some innocent gos
sip of a man or woman, that you are perhaps start
ing then the first breath of scandal that will be
earned on by humanity until it becomes a mighty
tornado of destruction and ruin. Innocently, no
doubt, you are telling the story, but your listener
or listeners are only ready to grasp and magnify
the meanings that you are bringing forth. "THE
HISS OF SCANDAL," such as you are starting
has ruined the lives of men and women since the
creation of the world and it is the foundation of
the theme which Emerson Hough has embodied
in his story, "The Broken Gate" and which in
screen form is called "THE HISS OF; SCAN
DAL." , It opens at the Moon Theater one week,
starting Sunday. Men and women in all walks of
life should see this picture. The brotherhood of
man would be-more firmly united if they would
heed to the lesson which this photoplay tells.
