CHAPTER XVIII.
Timothy Turtle's Complaint
It happened that the Bobolink
family moved to Cedar Swamp just
when Timothy Turtle had arrived
there for a short outing. It was Mr.
. Turtle's custom to leave his home in
Black Creek m now and then and
spend a few" days in sonic other
neighborhood. He said that after
living in the creek as many years as
lie had it did him good to get a
change once in a while About every
40 years he paid a visit to the Beaver
Pond on the other side of Blue
Mountain. But he visited Cedar
Swamp oftencr than that, because it
was nearer his home.
There was scarcely anybody that
was glad to see Mr. Turtle. ' He was
a snappish, surly old chap. And he
was forever finding fault with every
body and everything. It seemed as
it you couldn't please him, no matter
how much you tried. He had spent
. less than a week in Cedar Swamp
before every one voted him a nui
fauce. And he had invitations, daily,
to go back where he came from.
But Timothy Turtle announced in
no uncertain tones that he wouldn't
go till he was ready. He said that
it was a waste of breath to urge him
10 leave, and tliat those that didn't
rare for his company might move.
He promised that he wouldn't stop
anybodMa-unlcss he happened to get
hold of him! .
Naturally every one took pains to
keep out of Timothy Turtle's reach.

There will be Breaching at the
T j'Hog Ford church next Sunday. Xo
J collection will be taken up and a
large crowd is expected.
A committee from- the church
started over to the Calf Ribs neigh
borhood Monday with a lot of flow
ers for a sick person, but changed
their minds before they got there,
Common Sense
IT ONLY WORKS IN THE FILM
. At the movies, little Willie, ,
Saw a pretty child of six -Knok
a large policeman silly " . -,;
With a half a dozen bricks. '.,
Willie, as his way he wended
Homeward, thought he'd do the sam-:
To his mind this seemed a splendid
Highly fascinating game. 1 , ; '

And he isn't undertaking '
Any further movie stunts. I

But somehow Ji Turtle neve
lucceeded in finding Bobbg.
It, was well known that when his
powerful jaws closed upon a per
son's leg, for instance, its unlucky
owner might as well not try to get
away till Timothy was ready to let
him go. And if it happened to be his
head that Timothy Turtle seized
well, then he was uhluckicr still!
If Timothy Turtle was grumpy
before Bobby Bobolink moved to
Cedar Swamp, it would be hard to
say what he was afterward. For
Bobby Bobolink's happy songs
drove Timothy Turtle almost crazy.
Hesaid. that if he had known he
would have to listen to such merry
singing he would have taken his
outing in- the Beaver Pond, though
he wasn't really due there for 39
years, because he had visited the
Beaver colony only the summer be
fore. When Timoiy heard Bobby Bob
olink's song ringing through the
swamp he hurried as fast as he could
toward the place where it seemed to
. come from. . Timothy did that, not
hecause he wanted to hear the sing
ing better, but because he had some-
. thing to say to the singer.- He
wanted to tell Mm to keep still. And
he had ; a good many disagreeable
remarks on the tip of his tongue, all
ready to fling at Bobby Bobolink.
But somehow Mr. Turtle never
succeeded injfinding Bobby; After
Mr. Turtle had swum in one direc
tion he -was sure to hear the song in
another. Sometimes. he would even
leave, thenvater and crawl over the
. soggj boggy turf; and that was
slow work for, Timothy Turtle. You
may be sure it did not improve his
temper to find that his journeying
had been all in vain.
It happened that at last somebody
told Bobby Bobolink that Mr. Turtle
wanted to speak to him. And being
most obliging. Bobby set out to find
Timothy., "It's a shame." he said.
f'to disappoint-an old gentleman."
' Anybody could tell, .from that re?
mark, that he didn't know Timothy
Turtle. - v.'-;." .-. ' -

' Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL. ;
Today's talisman ic stone is the
emerald, symbolic of youth and bril
liancy. Ancient authorities on the
significance of gems especially
recommended it for those who are
just beginning to make their own
way in life. It is believed to be
stow on them the power to foresee
future events, and to' guide their
own course wisely. However, it is
an emeny of love.
There is a curious legend about
the diamond, which is today's natal
stone. It is said to possess the power
to share the gull t of one who com
mits a sin. and to lose its lustre in
the presence of guilt. It is also the
symbot of love, and so couteracts
the influence of the emerald in this
connection. ,
Today's color . is light blue, .ac
cording to the' Orientals.' , It is
symbolic of vigilance and "is- said
to guard its wearer from deceit. .
Today's flower is the black-eyed

Where It Started
-The Blues."
This phrase, descriptive of moods
of depression or melancholy has a
very interesting origin. It was
formerly believed that, working with
indigo dyes caused fits of melancholy
as the chemical worked on the sys
tem through the skin; and as the
dyers went tearly always stained
blue in parts of their bodies, the
phrase came igto current use to ex
' press-low spirits or moodiness.

Snap Judgment .
Perhaps you have placed your
self in the position ' of a person
known for poor judgment and H all
came about because your boss askd
a question 'and you wanted him to
believe that you are a quick thinker,
so you gave answers not well
thought out.
Now the man who asks you a
question does not want snap judg
ment and snap answers.
He wants sound, logical, helpful
answers to his queries.
If the question be difficult and
presents many sides, he is less likely
to have confidence in you after one
of your quick come-backs, even i!
you were correct, for he wants .to
be sure you had sense enough to
think it out.
From certain angles a quick an
swer may be all right, but there, may
be some important phase or proba
ble outcome of an undertaking .which
you are liable to forget in your de
sire to speak up quicklv.
Yous boss wants you to think, not
to guess at things.
It may be that your lack of
thought, your hasty conclusions have
stood in' the 'way of many, profitable
friendships and business advance
ment. '
Better think this over.

It is natural that a girl of 12 should
like very bright t colors. If too
bright, she should scarcely have
dresses made of them, but she might
have hair-ribbons, neckties and muf

In this country and Canada a
common superstition is that bubble
floating on a cup of tea-or coffee
signifies that money is coming to
you. In some sections 'it is con
sidered necessary to try and take up.
the bubbles in a spoon'; you will have
as many dollars as you can catch
bubbles. -This is a remnant of the
ancient magic art of hydromancy,
divination by a cup of water as prac
ticed by Joseph in Egypt. Se
Genesis, xhv, 5. Water was used for
divination by the Egyptians because
Isis was sometimes regarded as the
earth when fecundated by the
waters of the Nile and a. vessel of
water was therefore carried in her
- . T anj.if.nf finite anlf
f ... r -i . . I.
trouoimg oi me waters, m vvyi
or in a cup, was considered of sig-nifu-aiiei?.
In modern necrc'mancv
the coffee cup has succeeded to tha
divining cup of Joseph and tea and
coffee to the fecundating waters
born before Isis. But as of old the
bubbles rising in our divining cup
mean something.
But why money? Because the
influence of Egyptian mythology
upon Roman mythology was strons
and though the cult of Isis was but
slightly identified with the cult ol
Juno, yet Isis was the chief of ths
Egyptian goddesses as Juno was the
chief of the Roman goddesses. And
when the. Romans first began to coin
money they established their mint in
the temple of Juno and called their
coinage Moneta, that being one of
the appellations of the goddess, ths
name being derived from raoucre to
warn, connected with ncminisre to
remember, and the Greek merimno$
, i-t ninrr -i rtviMi o . i at te ti
iiivanui aiiAivii u u nw
breath of Juno that rises in bubbles
in our coffee cups and Juno under
her name of Moneta means money."
Doubtless when the ancient Romans
practised this rite with a cup of
water they invoked the goddess.
