CHAPTER V.
A Dttp Secret.
014 Spot wouldn't let Johnnie
Crcfn alone. He kept jumping
.gamut him and whining, begging
!iim to move ionic of the wood, be
Syhatt all this row aboutTfcti y
gobbled at Old Spot
cause there was something very,
very interesting beneath it.
Still Johnnie hesitated. He hadn't
intended to do any work that alter
noon. "After all," he thought. "I'll have
to help carry in this wood sooner
or later. Really, I might as well
take some of it into the woodshed
now."
To Spot's delight he bent over and
began gathering an armful of wooJ.
"Wow! Wow I" Spot howled.
"Thank goodness I'm going to get
what's under this pile, after all."
Johnnie Green carried armful
after armful of wood from the yard
and piled it in the shed back of the
kitchen. All the time old dog Spot
was urging him with yelps and
barks and whines and -moans to
move faster. And all the time John
nie Green was working i.s spryly as
he could.
. Whatever it might be that Spot
wanted to get, under the woodpile
in the yard, Johnnie, hoped it
wouldn't escape through the crevices
between the sticks,
: "I don't want to get myself all
tired Out for nothing," Johnnie said
to himself. "I 'was going fishing
this afternoon."
While Johnnie hurried back and
forth between the woodpile and the
shed, Spot clawed away at the edge
of the pile. He thrust his nose be
neath "loose sticks and pushed them
about. He uttered pitiful sounds. .
"I never saw that dog take on so,"
Farmer Green remarked.
"And I never taw Johnnie work
so hard," said the hired man. "When
there's wood to be carried in he's
usually a mile away."
Farmer Green laughed.
"He'll quit as soon as Spot gets
what he wants," he replied. "It's
too bad this sort of thing doesn't
happen oftener. Except for driving
the cows home, this is the first time
I ever knew a boy and a dog to do
much besides play; when they're to
gether." - - '
.Turkey Proudfoot, the huge gob
bler, came hurrying around the cor
nier of the barn to see what was go
ing on. He had an idea that he
ruled the farmyard. , ,
. "What's all this row about? he
gobbled at old Spot. ."Have you lost
something?" ' :"-y , - i
"Yes!" Spot told him. "John.ue
Green's helping me to find it. ; We're
moving part of the woodpile.
'. "What did you lose?" Turkey
Proudfoot deuanded. .' J
. Old Spot pretended not to hear
him. . He began barking . again at
Johnnie Green. '""'
Mr. Catbird, who loved tp play
iokes on everybody,, started mewing
'fronvhis hiding place under the lilac
bushes. He had noticed Spot's an
tics. Antl he hoper' to fool him into
thinking there was a strange cat
.-.round the place. - For Spot was a
.famous 'chaser of all cats so long
as they kept running away from him
and didn't turn around and try to
. scratch him. -
To Mr. .Catbird's astonishment,
old. Spot paid no heed to his cat-calls.-'-'
"-' . ' . ' v .'
"This is Queer," Mr. Catbird mut
tered. "Whenever I've mewed be-
fore, he has always come a-runnin?r.
There must be something uncom-
: monlv interesting uudcr that wood
pile."' Copvrtght, 192t. by Metropolitan Xews-

Parents Problems
How can a feirl of 7 be cured-of
"teasing" for: what she wants?
If a decision once made is never
changed and requests made in a
teasing" voice - positively " never
fcranted. a speedy cure would result
Many parents make the mistake of
tilking things over in the presence
of the child when a' decision is to be
made,, and it becomes hard for the
child to accept "no" when she knows
that the answer was almost "yes. ;

THE RUNAWAY
The frog are iinfins In the ledge,
The birds among the hough.
Along the river'a reedy tig e '
The care-free cattle browe;
Th spou'd puppy bark for joy ,
The chjpmunk romp in glee,
They do not know the little boy
Hat run away to tea.
They do not know the fragile bark
That floats across the foam
Where father are not hard and atern,
U never coming home.
They little dream that lie who plies
The solitary oar,
Means soon to tail 'neath alien skies
To seek an alien shore. ,
He's run away, his bread to earn
Where billows roar and toss,
Where fathers are not hard and t)n,
And mothers often cross,
lie's voyaging to the ocean side
Quite desperate at last,
But still with high unbroken pride
To ship before the mast.
Yet when across the pasture lot
The evening shadows fall,
We think he'll find that home is not ,
So dreadful after all.
And something tells us that the crew
He meant to join in port.
Will sail away across the blue
At least one member short.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
i Jet is the talUmanic gem for to
day; worn against the flesh, it pro
tects its wearer from sorrow and
bad luck, unless it is brpken or
chipped; then it should be thrown
away at once, as it loses its power
for good. - '
, .Today's natal stone is the pearl,
symbolic of youth and happiness on
this date; the ancients attributed to
it the power to dispel sorrow and
protect its wearer from useless
worry. '
Dark brown or black should be
Worn on this day; the oriental be
lieved that the quieter hues aided,
them in escaping the notice of the
evil spirits Svhich rules this date, ac
enrdinor to their "legends.'-
Today's flower is the aster, the
symbol of youth and hope.

Cultivate Common Sense.
College education cannot give a
man "horse sense."
'.There are some persons who could
not have practical sense, no , matter
how far the? went 'in books.
There are some persons who have
studied all their lives who have never
put a single bit of book information
into practical "use.
5 To go through high school and not
be able to spell correctly; to go
through college and make a gram
matical error, show how discon
nected book knowledge is in the re
sultant culture of that person. ;
How long would the earth stay in
its orbit if it were not balanced at
every point rby some poising power?
Every one has relativity on the tip
i of his tongue today just because
Einstein has been visiting in the
United States, and he says he has
discovered a great general law which
he calls relativity.
Without going into the ' scientific
sfde of his argument,' we can realize
in a small measure at least that three
things count , to bring a result.
Result is what has happened im
mediately before, the actual present,
and the nearest future; in all three
things govern result, an,d result is
always changing. -

WHY-
Are the Bolsheviki so Called?
Lifted bodilv from the Russian,
where the term means the "left" or
radical wine of the political party
as opposed to the "memsheviki" or
conservative element, "bolsheviki"
has been imported into America to
gether with many of the false' and
nr. sound doctrines to which its mem
bers subscribe.-' .
Originally the term was an'alagous
to and had no more sinister mean
ing than "radical" when used in
connection with British politics. - A
bolshevik was one who opposed the
conservatives not necessarily an ad
vocate oi arson and bloodshed, but
one who believed in a progressive
policy instead of following a reac
tionary courses until the overthrow
of the Romanoff dynasty, the bol
sheviki did not number anarchists
and nihilists in their ranks, for, these
disturbers of the peace were kept
under . close surveillance by. the po
lice and were given, no oportunity
to ally themselves with any political
organization. During the chaos
which followed the death of the czar,
the extremely radical element came
into control with the same- bolshevik
fell into disrepute, becoming synony
mous with "red," the red flag having
been from time immemorial the sym
bol of lawlessness and disorder. "
