CHAPTER XXIII.
A feast at List.
T-'Dickie Deer Mouse, waiting
impatiently for Mr. Pine Finch to
droiv. another bud out of the tree-top,
Did
A MODERN LOVE SONG
Won't you share the millions that my papa left to me?
Won't you be my loving wife, a year or two or three?.
And when, as presently it will, our love ahall run it course,
You'll be the leading figure in a big divorce.
The eager crowds will throng the aisles to see you come to court
For trials like tnese are nowadays our waning muwt
You'll wear new costumes every day, regardless of expense,
In which to sit and listen to the evidence. - -
A thousand cameras shall cliek when you go on the stand;
The keenest leaders of the bar will be at your command,
And at the elbow of the judge you may recline at ease ,
And pan your humble servant all you doggone please 1
And when our so-called private lives are thoroughly exposed,
When with the seal on the decree our late romance is ciosea,
And you drive home, the managers will stop your limousine
And offer you a contract for the movie screen.
Won't you be my loving wife for just a while?
We'll toau mv millions round the town in truly regal style,
And when we have our bust-up, in the limelight you shall bask,
And get all the publicity a girl could ask! . ,
you spsakf " he inquired.
it began to seem as if his good luck
v.ere short lived. Could it be pos
sible that Mr. Pine Finch was so
careful that he lost a bud only once
in a long time perhaps only once a
year?
But as Dickie Deer Mouse , won
dered, a small shower of buds came
rattling down upon the snow-crust.
And ' Dickie Deer Mouse snatched
them up, eyery one, and ate them
hungrily. - '
In a little while he felt so much
better' that he called out to Mr.
Pine Finch:
"Shake a lot of 'em down there's
a aood fellow I" ' 1
Mr. Tine Finch fluttered to a
perch on a, limb and looked down
, in great surprise.
Did you speak?" he inquired.
' "YesI" Dickie Deer Mouse piped
uu. "You know. I can climb a tree;
but I can't crawl out to the tips of
the branches, because I in too heavy.
So you'll oblige me if you'll drop a
few doren more ot those buds.
The reauest surprised Mr. fine
" Finch. His face told that much
"Budst" he exclaimed. "Why do
you want buds?
"J eat them when I can get
them," Dickie Deer Mouse informed
him.
The streaked gentleman in the
" tree looked quite blank. .
"What a strange thing to do I" he
cried through his nose or so it
seemed.
"Strange 1" Dickie Deer Mouse
rhr,nJ "WW vnnVp Ueen ratine
some yourself!" And he couldn't
help thinking that Mr. Pine Finch
was even odder than he sounded.
"That's to," Mr. Pine Finch ad
mitted. "In fact, I may say that'I'm
very, very fond of tree-buds. But
, I'm a bird. And of course everybody
knows: that you're a rodent."
. Vl'm hungry, anyway," Dickie
Deer Mouse retorted. He didn't
iiuiw mr. -uivua wiuifi ... ....... i
it U ie would , crop some more
buds.
"You'r hungry, eh?" the odd gen
tleman in the aree replied. "That
reminds rae that I'm still hungry
myself.- So I can't stop to talk with
you any longer just now."
Then he turned himself upside
down, as he picked out a promising
cluster of buds. And before he had
finished hi breakfast he had drop
ped so many buds that Dickie. Deer
Mouse called to him and thanked
him for his kindness.
"What! Are you still there?" Mr.
Pine Finch exclaimed, gazing down
a nirk-ie as if he were ereatly sur
prised to see him lingering beneath
the tree. I must go away now,
Mr. Pine Finch added. "But I'll
rot thin, remark before I leave:
If vnn have anvthinar more to say
to me; you can find me here almost
any morning soon atter aayoreaK.
An A Vin h (lew off.
Dickie Deer Mouse told himself
that, he was in luck. By coming to
tlr not earlv every day he coma
pick up buds enough dropped care-

nkxt morning, when he went back to
the tree ,where he had found Mr.
Pme Finch., his eighteen cousins

.u ( k; crnnri fortune
and asked them to share it with him.
As for Mr. Pine Finch, he looked
queerer than ever when he saw that
, , i l 1.fr Airvliin' or his
relations with him. However, he
bade them all good morning. And
re seemed to be even clumsier than
he had been the day before. He
dropped an enormous number ot
ht,ds! so many, in fact, that Dickie
Deer- Mouse wondered how Mr.
Pine Finch managed to get enough
breakfast for himself.
Perhaps-that odd gentleman knew
what he was aDoui. 1 1" ..
- truth, he had noticed the day before
; thai Dickie Deer Mouse looked thin
and hungry. His coat, too, struck
Mr. Pine Finch as being somewhat
khabbv. But he said nothing to show
Dickie Deer Mouse that he knew
there was anything wrong. And if
- he dropped tree-buds on purpose, he
never let anyone know it. - v
Anyway, Mr. Pine Finch did not
fail to appear. at that tree a single

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
Do You Know the Bible?
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
For today the ruby is both the
talismanic gem and the birthstone.
This is an exceptionally fortunate
combination, bringing both good
fortune and great achievement. An
cient legends attribute to the blood
red ruby the ability to vanquish ob
stacles through its wearer; great
physical and mental strength and a
strong will are also characteristic
of those whose natal gem it is.
' According to Phillipe de Valois
hit is the most valuable of gems.
However, to benefit by its powers,
the person who wears it must have
Jt set in a ring or bracelet, and wear
it on the left hand or arm.
White, symbolic of purity and
lofty thought, is today's lucky color.
The yellow rose today brings
happiness and great contentment
wherever it is worn or used as a
decoration.

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. I. KING.
Initials on Turtles.
It is a common superstition in the
rural districts that if you cut your
initials on the shell of a turtle he
will never kave tl vicinity of your
home. Other superstitions with
regard to the tortoise have been al
ready dealt with i nthis series. The
one in question is a survival of sym
pathetic magic. By cutting your in
itials on the turtle you set up a
sympathy between it and yourself by
the magic of contact which holds him
in your immediate neighborhood.
The chief "interest in the supersti
tion lies in the fact that it illustrates
a comparatively rare phase of the
workings of sympathetic magic as
conceived by our primitive ancestors,
commonly sympathetic magic works
on the principle of like producing
like sp that if you imitate a thunder
storm you produce one; or on the
principle ilustrated by killing a man
by melting his waxen image before
a lire; or, again, on tne principle 01
transference by which disease is
transferred by contact from a per
son to a dog or to a necklace of
Job's tears. By smypathetic magic
has other phases, one of which is its
operation in cases like that of the
turtle and the initials a binding to
gether without other effect than a
continuance of propinquity. The
superstition would be one purely ol
sympathetic magic were it not for the
selection of the turtle as the "party
of the second part,' this brings in
the element of mythology, for the
tortoise is a highly mystic creature
whose wonderful properties were ex
toled by Pliny, and he was sacred to
the great goddess Cybele to whom
we appeal by carving our initials on
the sacred shell.

WHY-
Do Phonograph Rcords Transmit
Sound.
Like heat, sound is conveyed by
means of vibrations of the air vibra
tions which, striking upon the sensi
tive ear-drums, cause them to carry
a distinct message to the brain cells
with which we "hear." There is still
much to' be discovered about the
workings of the inner ear, but there
is no mystery whatever about the
effect of the sound waves upon the
ear drum, so the problem in the case
of making phonograph records was
first how to have the sounds record
ed upon some fairl y hard surface
and, secondly, how to reproduce
from these fixed impressions sounds
which would be exactly like the orig- J
mal ones. '

first obstiic'.e ly cutting a spiral
groove, with tht lines placed closely
to til er, arci:nd a brass drum which
t unit (1 on a horizontal screw-axis so
that, tss t!;p drum revolved, it moved
endwise with a regular rate of speed.
This drum was then covered with
tin-foil, pressed into the bottom of
the entiles groove in order to re
ceive the impressions of the sound
wave end preserve them. Beside the
drum was placed a h.Jow cylinder,
one end of which was covered with
a ti'nhtly stretched membrane. . In
the center of this membrane was a
sharp needle, with a chisel point,
that followed the groove on the re
volving drum and was kept pressed
against the tin-foil at the bottom.
The other enJ of the cylinder was
funnel shn;ed, in order to receive
and magnify the sounds which set
the membrane vibrating, and, in turn,
made a series of impressions upon
the tin-foil. The second obstacle, the
reproduction or the sounds, " was
overcome by the simple process of
reversing the drum, thus making the
membrane in motion once more by
means of the indentations on the tin
foil.
Since the first phonograph was
made, a large number of improve
ments have been effected, both in the
manner of recording sounds and in
the method of reproducing them
but the basic principles remain the
AMUSEMENTS.
