So matter went alon for some
time. And Dickie actually began to
think that perhaps he didn't need to
CHAPTER XII.
A Little Surprise.
Simon Screecher livedo in the ap
ple orchard, in a hollow tree, where
he could sleep during the day safe
from attack by mobs of small birds,
who had the best of reasons for dis
liking him.
By night-Simon wandered about
the fields and the woods, hunting for
mice and insects. And since night
was the time when Dickie Deer
Mouse was awake, and up and doing,
it would have been a wonder if the
two had never met.
One thing is certain: Dickie Deer
Mouse was not eager to make Simon
Screecher's acquaintance. Whenever
he heard Simon's call he stopped
and listened. If it sounded nearer
the next time it reached his cars,
Dickie" Deer Mouse promptly hid
You're a bright youn$ chajC he
observed.
be so careful, and that maybe Simon
Screecher was not so bad as people
said.'
However, he jumped almost out of
his skin one night, when he heard
a wailing whistle in a tree right over
his head. And when he came down
upon all-fours again he couldn't sec
a single place to hide.
So he stood stock still, hardly
daring to breathe.
To Dicky's dismay, a mocking
laugh rang out. And somebody said:
"I see vou!"
It was Simon Screecher himself
that spoken
Dickie Deer Mouse looked up and
spied him, sitting on a low limb.
He was not so big as Dickie had
supposed. But it was certainly
Simon. Dickie knew him, beyond a
doubt, by his ear-tufts, which stuck
up from his head like horns.
"What made you jump when I
whistled?" Simon Screecher asked
him.
"I don't know," Dickie answered,
"unless it was you."
Simon Screecher chuckled.
"You're a bright young chap," he
observed. "But that's not surpris
ing, for I notice that you belong to
the Deer Mouse family, and every
body's aware that they are one of
the brightest families in Pleasant
Valley what are left of them."
These last words made Dickie
Deer Mouse more uneasy than ever.
But he made up his mind not to let
Simon Screecher know that he was
worried.
"I have a great many relations,"
he declared stoutly. "Ours is a big
family."
"Yes but not nearly so big as it
was when I first came to this neigh
borhood to live," Simon told him
with a sly smile.
He had hardly finished that re
mark when a loud wha-wha, whoo-ah
came from a hemlock not far away.
And the next moment Simon's cousin
snlntnnti Owl sailed thrmicrll the
i mnonlicht and aliehtcd near him. !
! Dickie Deer Mouse couldn't help'
thinking that it was a great night '
f k. 1 I.
tor ttie uwi lamny. jna ne was
surprised to notice that Simon
Screecher did not act overjoyed at
seeing his cousin.
"It's a pleasant night," said Solo
mon Owl in his deep, hollow voice.
Simon Screecher replied somewhat
sourly that he supposed it was. And
he changed his seat, so that he
might keep his eyes on both his
cousin and Dickie Deer Mouse at
the same time.
But Solomon Owl made matters
very hard for Simon. Simon had
no sooner seated himself comfort
ably when Solomon Owl moved to
a nerch behind him.
Simon Screecher looked almost
cross-eyed, as he tried to watch
everything that happened. And he
looked so fretful that for a moment
Dickie Deer Mouse actually forgot
his fear and laughed aloud.

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. IRVING KINO.
Brass for Rheumatism.
That wearing a brass ring on the
linger will cure rheumatism is a
common superstition in nearly all
parts of the country; and down south
there i a belief among the colored
population that wearing brass i-ings
in the ears will ward off the same
disease. In some sections it is be
lieved that the wearing of a brass
:ing is not only good or rheumatism
but will prevent cramps.
Brass and bronze are both alloys
of copper and both metals were in
cluded in the word "orichalcum"
even down to the middle ages;
though Strabo calls brass orichal
cum specifically and describes its
manufacture. To the ancients brass
was but another form of bronze.
Thy bronze age preceded the iron
age. It was an era when, though
iron was known, there were a few
iron weapons even at the siege of
Trov bronze was the metal in com
mon use for weapons and rnirposcs
of general utililty.
When iron came into its own
conservative people looked upon the
rew tangled metal with suspicion
?nd retained bronze for all purposes
into which entered the worship of
the gods or the performance of
sacred rites. Roman and Sabine
priests might not be shaved with
iron razors, but only with razors
of bronze, and with bronze shears.
They had to have their hair cut.
The Greeks attributed a certain
ciennsing virtue to bronze and hence
employed it in expiatory rites. There
was evidently some connection con
ceived to exist between bronze and
its cousin German grass and the
sun. For bronze was used in the
ceremonies with which the Greeks
rjreoted an eclipse of the sun and
the, Latin word orichalcum, derived
:tom the Greek word meaning moun
tain copper and supposed generally
to tignify brass, became soon cor
rupted into aurichalcum; that Is
copper simulating gold, the color of
the sun. In short brass is a mystic
moi from the age of bronze, be
lievtd through long centuries to
po.-sess special virtues and ought,
certainly to be equal to a case of
ordinary rheumatism.

v Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
The talismanic stone for today is
the turquoise; however, it should not
be worn if it turns green when it i.
comes in contact with the flesh; in
this case, it is sure to bring bad luck.
However, nowadays it is the cus
tom to dip the turquoise into water
in order to make it match a green
dress, so Dame Fashion has almost
rooted this eld superstition.
The birthstone of those born on an
anniversary of this day is the lapis
lazuli, which is said to be a sure
cure for melancholy if worn on a
gold chain around the neck. It is
a symbol of steadfast devotion.,
Lavender is today's color, asd is
said to exert a steadying influence
on those who wear it.
