THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, JUNE 30,, 1921 THE GUMPS- ALL ABOARD FOR SHADY REST Drawn for The Bee by Sidm Copyright, 1821. Chicago Tribune " I ME TALES HE TALE OF OICKI EE U CHAPTER XVI. A Lucky Find. Though Dickie Deer Mouse was shy. he couldnt nave been a cow ard. For when be had reached the end of that first pitch that led into the old bnrrow of Billy vvoodchuck s uncle and aunt he never once thought of - turning back. , Before him stretched a dark. drv. level tunnel And through it Dickie quickly made his way. , v. '. : Jt was surprisingly 7 long that underground passage. But he came to the end of it at last. And creep ing upwards, because the tunnel rose suddenly, Dickie Deer Mouse found himself in a roomy chamber, com' fortably furnished with a big bed of soft, dried grasses, where Mr. and Mrs. Woodchuck had passed a good many hard winters asleep, while the snow lay . deep upon the ground above them. , . It took Dickie Deer Mouse no longer than a jiffy to decide .that he had found the very place for which he had been looking. He knew that in that secret chamber he had nothing to fear from Solomon Owl nor Simon Screecher, nor Fatty Coon, either. And when midwinter came, and the nights turned bitterly cold, he could cuddle down in that soft bed and dream about summer, and warm, moonlit nights in the woods of the world' above. It was no wonder that Dickie Deer Mouse was . pleased. And for a time he forgot everything but his good luck until he remembered heti ba.4 made cveiitWrtcJ eractlu j suit him. ; .. :' ; it he had had nothing to eat since " night before. I he made his way back through long tunnel, and up into Farmer si's pasture. Then, looking md under the twinkling stars, :ook pains to see exactly where new home was. certainly would have been a it mishap if he had gone away uch a . hurry that he could never v found his doorway again. But i an easy matter to fix the spot f mind.

(Copyright, l21, Whteler Syndleate,Jne.) Are Light-Colored Clothes Worn in , the Summer.,.- Everyonewho has traveled in the tropics knows by experience that white duck and white, linen are the coolest of garments to wear under the blazing heat of the direct sun a fact which accounts for the grow ing preference for light-colored clothing for both men and women during the summer months, even in the temperate zones. The season, strange as it may seem, "is precisely the same as that which leads con tractors to paint radiators with a gold or light tan paint the fact that dark substances . absorb light and, with it, a considerable amount of the radiant heat which is contained in the light . In the case of the radiators, ' a coat of black paint will 'materially reduce the amount of heat which is given off, for the dark color holds the light and retains' the heat along, while a light color.permits easy ra diation. The same principle applies to clothing, only here the reverse ."Vl 13 UC9IICU. -VVIIIIC Ul I1K11L' colored clothing reflects " the light snrt with ;i th. rrt;n f h. heat, while black clothinir will ab- sorb both.

Whew! I hat was a narrow squeak 1" Dicky wiped his forehead nervously as we walked down the dooryard path of the old Dacey farmstead, while ' Mother Graham stood on the sagging porch, ready to speed our footsteps with caustic admonition should we show signs of lagging. VWait till we get to the car," implored in a whisper, for after the revelation we had just had of my mother-inaw s listening powers, J was decidedly wary of saying any thing until we were safely sheltered by the car s clatter. ,"I don't wonder you're leary," Dicky confided when we had climbed into the car, and with no - further pretense of its being out of action started down the road, "I never was so flabbergasted in my life, Who'd have thought the respected mater had anything like that up her sleeve? "The thing which puzzles me is her good-nature over it," I returned. "It would, be only natural for her to be furious, but instead- "She's like a 3-day-old lamb,' Dicky interrupted. 1 think 1 can explain that. First, she put one over on us, something she delights in doing. Besides, I think that deep in her, heart she realized just what we were up against in the housing proposition, and was scared to death for fear her cherished things would have to be sent to the auction block or freighted to one of the girls. And i ll bet she was so relieved when she found that we really had found this old ruin that she was ready to swal low almost anything. At least, that's the wav I done it out. Don't vou?" "It's a very plausible and ingen ious solution at any rate," I return ed a bit absently; for with the cer tainty that our housing question was settled amicably, my brain had switched back to a corollary prob lem, one ' that concerned me even more deeply. . .. n ' Madge Is Perplexed. I felt Dicky's eyes, curious, in quiring upon me I always have been able to sense his gaze, though mv eves be turned away so I pre pared for his sudden and'slightly ir ritated query: What s eating you now? You re a million miles awav from here." , "No, only a hundred." The words were upon my lips, but I bit them back, -substituting an innocuous de nial. "Indeed I'm not," I said earnestly. "I'm simply wondering how we were ever going to keep .up with your mother in this moving and settling business. She expects us to bring back a carpenter and a painter with us. From all I've heard she might as well demand snow from the top of the Andes within an hour." "I know. It's a fierce proposition," he admitted accepting the explana tion, while I drew a long breath of relief. How could I explain to him that the final settling of our housing problem was in reality no settlement at all to me when I facedVthe pros pect of his spending almost half his time in his New York studio, with the almost certain corollary of fre quent meetings and more or less close association with Edith Fairfax? . Of course, there was nothing else to be done, I was glad to own the lovely old place, and was already revelling in the prospect of rehab ilitating it. yet with the obsessing dread of the Virginia girl's interest in my husband upon me I would have been glad to share any tene ment room with him in the city if only I could be always with him. "I'm Worrying Over The inner half of my brain told me how absurd my attitude was. Dicky and I would be bored to death with each other if we were never apart. And I knew that , the surest way to disgust and weary him would be to utter any objection to his sojourns in the city, which, of courser for the most part would be necessary to his work. : ' ' " , .. , But my heart was heavy as we went into the real estate office, where the wizened Mr. Olcott and the buxom Mrs. Burgess were al ready waiting for us Dicky had stopped at a tea house and had tele phoned the real estate dealer to be-ready and it was heavier still when we went out again with the ADVERTISEMENT Teamster's Life Saved Write Letter That Ia Worth Read- 1 j : lag Very Carefully.
