THE TALE OF
DICKI
EEI
U
CHAPTER VII.
Noisy Visiton.
Of course Jasper Jay knew where
Dickie Deer Mouse lived. And he
took great pleasure in pointing out
the exact spot to his curious cousin,
old Mr. Crow.
It was broad daylight when' they
visited the tree where Dickie's house
hung. The two rogues did not know
that he was drowsing inside his snug
home, because he had been out late
the night before.
No one knew that the two cou
sins would need to be told that they
could never talk together quietly.
Perched close t Dickie's house, Mr.
Crow croaked in a hoarse voice,
While Jasper Jay squalled harshly.
"This is it I ' Jasper had announced,
as soon as they arrived. "This is his
house. And im't it a sight?"
"I should say sol" old Mr. Crow
agreed. ".U' got aroof on it lial
ha!"
And the two visitors laughed loud
ly, as if they thought there was a
huge jok somewhere.
They made such a noise, from
the very first,, that Dickie Deer
Mouse awoke and heard almost
everything they said. But he didn't
mind their remarks in the least un
til he caught Fatty Coon's name.
It was old Mr. Crow who men
tioned it first.
"I'll have to tell Fatty Coon about
this queer house," he chuckled. "It's
too good a joke to keep. He'll he
"What Was that. Mrantfe 'squeaking?'
My. C-ov asked' Jasper Jag." (
over here as soon as he knows where
to come, for he'll be glad to see it;
and he wants to talk to Dickie
Deer Mouse about taking our corn."
Dickie had still felt somewhat
sleepy during the first part of this
talk 'outside his house. But when
Mr. Crow began to speak about. Fat
ty Coon, Dickie became instantly
wide awake. He sprang quickly to
his feet; and thrusting his head
through his doorway, he called in his
loudest tone:
. "When do you think Fatty Coon
will call on me?"
The two cousins looked at each
Other. And then they looked all
around.
.,wWhat was that strange squeak
ing?" Mr. Crow asked Jasper Jay.
"To me it sounded a good deal
like, a rusty hinge on. Farmer Green's
barn door," Jasper Jay answered.
.' But Mr, Crow shook his head. "It
couldn't have been that," he said.
- "Maybe Mrs. Green is rocking on
a loose board on the porch," Jasper
suggested. ' : . : .

him.
"Don't be silly I" he snapped. "We
are half a mile from the farmhouse."
"Well, what do you think the noise
was?" Jasper Jay inquired. .
Old Mr. Crow cocked an eye up
"ward into. the tree-toD abo'e him.
"IM 4hmk.it was a Squirrel if it was

laughed in a most disagreeable fash
ion. '-' , , ' .
"I'd think it was thunder if it was
loud enough," he sneered;- 1
And at that the two cousins began
to quarrel violently; ToStell the
truth, they never could be together
long without having a Uispute.
For a short time Dickie Deer
.Mouse listened " to their rude re
marks, hoping that they' would stop
wrangling lojdg enough to hear his
question about Fatty Coon.
But they talked louder and louder.
And since Dickie Deer Mouse never
quarreled with anybody, and hated
to hear such language as the two
cousins used, he slipped out of his
house without their seeing him and
went over to the cornfield.
For he was hungry.

AN UNDER ESTIMATE
I've passed 'em on the city highways.
A hundred thousand in a day,
I've seen 'em parked in country byways,
As thick as lightning bugs in May.
From East Wcehawken to Venturas,
I've seen the things in swarms and hordes.
And yet the papers now asstwe us
. They've only built five million Fords!
Five million Fords 1 I haven't any
Spare cash that I am free to blow.
But I will bet there's half that many
Upon the streets in Cleveland, O. . ,
Along the nation's roads they lumber.
They wind through every country lane.
I think I've met three times that number
Between New Mexico and Maine.
They've sold at least eight hundred thousand
(If they've had time to count 'em all)
With harvesters and hoes and plows and
Corn shelters west of Montreal.
They're thick as flies around Havana,
And other countries near at home;
I've seen the things in Christiana .
And scores and scores of 'em in Rome.
They've sold 'em to the Delhi Llama,
They serve as taxis in Bombay,
The steamships bring to Yokohama
A cargo every other day. 1
Men shauff and crank and haul and shove 'm
From Vladivostock to Hong Kong
They must have made a billion of 'em,
I know the figures are all wrong!
PUBLICITY, ANYWAY.

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
Taking Baby Into the Sunlight
In many sections of this country
and in many regions of the old
world it is believed that a baby
should be first taken into the sun
light on Sunday; that when it is old
enough to be put into long clothes
the shift should be made on Sunday
and that all important changes with
regard to the child should be made
on Sunday if good luck and good
health are to be its inheritance. This
is such an obvious' survival of the
custom, prehistoric in point of age,
of dedicating the child to the sun
god that it needs little comment
though those, who most firmly be
lieve in the superstition would be
horrified to be told that they were, in
practicing it. perpetuating an ancient
heathen custom worshiping at the
shrine of Osiris, or of some other
of the personifications of the sun
as a deity.
The designation-of the first day of
the week as the "sun's day" far ante
dates Christianity and prevails in
lands never christianized, where ? it
has existed from remote antiquity.
By some an astrological reason ' is
considered to be' the cause of the
dedication of the first day of the
week to the sun. But whatever the
origin of the.nomenclature Sunday
it is the day which, from, time im
memorial, has been especially set
apart fox dedication to the sun god.
Therefore the baby of the 20th cen
tury A. D.1, like the baby of the 20th
century B. C, is first taken into the
sunlight on Sunday.

Wrhat you will wear and where you

WE HAVE WITH US TODAY
Holding a Husband
Adele Garrison's Nev- Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
The Stern Question Mother Graham
Asked Madge.
True to Mrs. Ticer's prediction,
Marion came into the kitchen im
mediately after the mistress of the
house had sent her husband and son
about their business. The child, still
dewy-eyed with sleep, was an allur
ing picture with her wild-rose color
ing and brown curls.
"Oh, Auntie Madge!" She greeted
me warmly, then turned to Mrs.
Ticer.
Good morningj Mrs. Ticer," she
said in her prettiest manner, and
then, her mother's training satisfied,
she broke out fearfully:
"They haven't gone to milk with
out me, have they?"
"No, lambie-bird, they wouldn't
dast," Mrs. Ticer assured her. "They
know what I'd give 'em when they
come in. But, tell me, did you hear
anybody awake upstairs when you
came down?"
"I didn't hear a sound," Marion
returned, "except," she added con
scientiously, "Grandma Graham was
sleeping prettv loud."
That's all right then," Mrs. Ticer
flashed an amused and relieved smile
at me. "Now, Marion, here's a couple
cf cookies till breakfast. Run along
and watch the men milk, but come
back here after the first cowjs done,
for we want you to take a note to
your mother. I ell the men to wait
for you. It won't take you five min
utes." "She Must Never Suspect"
"Thank you, Mrs. Ticer, I'll be
back," the child said obediently, and
ran off happily, munching her cookies
as she went.
"That's the nicest child I eyerj
saw, Mrs. ncer aeciarea, waicnmg
her with tender admiring eyes.
"Sure you're not prejudiced?" 1
asked slyly.
"Well! If I am, she retorted de
fiantly, "there's plenty of others tar
red with the same stick around here,
I notice."
"I plead guilty, for one," I re
turned. "And now, if you'll let me sit here,
I'll write that note to Mrs. Under
wood." "This table isn't fit for you to
write at," she worried, but I hastily
cleared a place for myself, and sat
down, unheeding her protests.
"Lillian, dear," I wrote hastily,
"Dicky is going to take his mother
for a walk this morning, and by
Machiavellian tactics let her discover
the Dacy farm and plan to buy it.
The reason you have no doubt
guessed ere now. But she must
never suspect that T have looked at
it, much less bargained for it . So
please caution Marion before Mother
G. wakes up, not to say anything. I
did not like to tell her for fear of
confusing her. Hurriedly Madge."
I did not like to own even to my
self, much less to Lillian, why I
shifted the task of silencing Marion's
possible chatter. The child is the
most honorable little soul I know.
That she would neither understand
nor approve of the scheme to deceive
Mother Graham I well knew, and I
preferredto let Lillian explain the
difference between Tweedledcdee
and Tweedlededum.
An Interruption.
Mrs. Ticer went about the prepar
ation of my breakfast as 'I wrote.
When I had finished I noticed that
while Marion's cup and breakfast
service were laid on the Ticer family
kitchen table, Mrs. Ticer was laying
a tray for me, evidently preparing to
take it into our sitting room in the
other wing.
"Please, Mrs. Ticer." I rose and
laid a restraining hand on her
shoulder. "Won't you let me eat my
breakfast out here with you and
Marion? ' This is such a homey
kitchen."
She looked at tne doubtfully, but
that she was pleased I knew by her
expression.
"Of course, if you want to," she
said finally. .
' "Indeed. I want to," I returned,
and was discussinff my grapefruit
when Marion danced in breathlessly,
evidently worried for fear the men
might decide to milk another cow
before she could get back. I put my
arm around the child and slipped the
note into the pocket of her dress.
"Marion, dear," I said with the
solemnity she likes when she is play
ing an imaginative game. "You are
now a secret and important messen
ger of state. You must let no one
see this message nor guess your er
rand until yoi have delivered it into
the hands of your lady mother." Then
you will listen to what she tells you,
and return to me. But unless I am
alone you will say nothing concern
ing this when you see me. Do -you
understand?"
"Aye, aye, my liege ladye," Marion
returned delightedly, curtesying
prettily, and then she ran through
the door leading into our wing. I
turned back to my breakfast with a
sigh of relief, feeling that I had
caulked every possible leak of the
disturbing facts I was trying to keep
from Mother Graham's knowledge.
I had only half-finished the deli
cious breakfast Mrs. Ticer had pre
pared, and Marion had not yet re
turned from her mother's room, when
a rustle at the door leading from the
kitchen to our sitting room made me
start nervouslv, and I looked up to
sec my august mother-in-law in her 1
inevitable gray dressing gown, stand
ing in the doorway.
"Mrs. Ticer," she said acidly, "may
I trouble you for " she stopped as
her eyes fell upon me. (
"Margaret," she sternly de
manded, "do you mean to tell me you
are eating your breakfast calmly
with your child unfed?"
WHY
Is an Unfounded Report Called a
"Canard?"
Even when we remember that
"canard" is French for "duck," we
do not appear to be much closer to
the answer of this question, for the
connection between a duck and a
hoax or a baseless rumor is far from
apparent. Behind the words, how
ever, there lies an interesting story
which throws light upon what ap
pears to be a serious ldiscrepancy in
meaning.
In order to ridicule the growing
extravagance in printed reports ap
pearing in the newspapers, an Eng
lish journalist duringthe early part
of the last century wrote an article
purporting to give the details of a
French experiment which had been
conducted to prove the extraordinary
voracity of ducks. Twenty of these
birds were supposed to have been
placed together and one of them hav
ing been killed and cut up into small
pieces, the other 19. were reported to
have eaten him, feathers and all. An
other was then taken from the 19,
killed, chopped up and fed to the re
maining 18, and so on until only one
was left, which was then in the posi
tion of having-eaten all the rest of
the flock.
Instead or arousing the laughter
which the author expected, this story
went the rounds of the European
press and was even reprinted years
later, in America thus giving rise
to the custom of using "canard" as
a synonym for "hoax" or unfounded
report.
