CHAPTER XXIII.
Back Afaln.
.Somehow Mrt. Ladybug't ricndi
missed her. The orchard teemed
quite a different place after the van-
Uhcd iiifide the farmhouse to stay
there all winter long.. In tpite of her
sharp tongue and her prying wayt,
people discovered now that the was
avfc m
"It was a short winter, anyhow
ha a&id
Kone that they had liked Mrs.
LadybiAj more than they knew.
While she was with them in the
orchard they had often wished she
wouldn't ask so many questions. But
now the days seemed very long with
out Mrs. Ladybug to inquire how
and why and when and where.
And then then a rumor flashed
from lip to lip all the way across the
garden and the orchard and the
meadow: "Mrs. Ladybug is back
again I She didn't stay in the farm
house a week."
And sure enough, the rumor
proved to be true. Mrs. Ladybug,
looking rather foolish, appeared in
Iter old haunts among the apple
trees. She acted as if something had
occurred to upset her. And though
she seemed glad to be greeted by all
her old companions, she didn't want
them to ask her a single question as
to why she hadn't spent the whole
winter, instead of only one week of
early fall, in Farmer Green'i house.
If she thought her neighbors
weren't going to question her she
was sadly mistaken.
Only a little while before they had
asked her a thousand and one ques
tions about where she was going to
live during the winter. And now
they were all just as curious to know
why she had returned. But this
time they asked her a thousand and
two questions.
You couldn't say that her answers
weren't satisfying, because she didn't
make any answers at all.
Of course, things couldn't go on
like that forever. People had to
know what had changed Mrs. Lady
bug's plans. And. in order to per
suade the stubborn lady to explain
matters, a few of her friends hinted
that they expected they would have
to go to Farmer Green himself and
learn the truth.
"You may ask him if you wish,"
Mrs. Ladybug told them. "But it
won't do you any good. He can't
tell you what.Tiappened because he
doesn't know nimself." .
"Maybe the farmhouse was cold,"
Chirpy Cricket .suggested.
Mrs. Ladybug made no comment
on that remark.
"Perhaps the roof leaked," said
- Daddy Longlegs.
Still no sign from Mrs. Ladybug.
' "She found that the farmhouse
wasn't windproof, said Daddy
Longlegs' wife.
And Mrs. Ladybug didn't deny it;
nor did she say that that was so.
Then Buster Bumblebee made one
of his blundering speeches.
"It was a short winter, anyhow,"
he-said.' " . -
Mrs. Ladybug't neighbors couldn't
hely tittering. And somehow their
amusement stung her into telling the
truth about the whole affair, right
then anithere. - 0 t ,
"Mrs. .Green and I didn't get on
well together," she confessed. .

More Truth Than Poetry

"If you are feeling low and glum,"
The doctor laid one day, '
' "Just cat t ray of radium
And care will pass away.
.. It brings a feeling of content
Especially to scribes,
No lassitude will fag a gent
Who radium imbibes."
"A ray of radium," said I, .
"Sounds rather smalt to me;
I think I'll take a fair supply,
Say two or maybe three."
So three I ate I gulped them down,
And through the gathering gloam
(The radium store was well down town)
Set out to walk back home. .
A friend I met, he looked unwell
I spoke about the heat;
But with a wild and fearful yell
He fled across the street.
I met a lady that I knew;
Her face turned ashen gray, ,
She gave a gasping gulp or two ,
. . And fainted dead way. .
The children ran as I passed by,
A dog .came up behind,
; ;And when upon me fell his eye
:, , . He furled his tail and whined. , t

- " Eat radium, gentle friends, with care, .

,., Keep off the public thoroughfare, ."

Parents' Problems
Should parents allow their chil
dren to go to shops at which they
have charge accounts and purchase
anything, charging it? . ' .
Nonot unless the experience is
definitely for educational purposes
and under strict supervision. Few
parents have sense enough to en
title them to open a charge account,
the temptation is too much for hu
man nature. More "flesh" is a prey,
to the charge-account than to any
other of the eight deadly sins. Don't
let your children know that you
have so fallen. Give them better
training than. yOu received. ' . Don't
tempt them, either, by this over
easy way to multiply their wants,
for somebody 'later must 'pay; pay,
pay!"
Jack and Jill
"I don't suppose yon could"
itarttd Jfll
It wa her formula when there
was something disagreeable to be
done, such aa cleaning out the fur
nace, or performing an errand at
one oi the department stores in
town.
So Jack eyed her with bilious eye
and a chill disposition. ,
"Oh, you needn't be to cross about
it," said Jill hastily. "I was only
going to ask you to put a little
shell in the pantry for me. But''
"Oh, well, said Jack, amiably,
"I can do that Why didn't you
ay so, instead of Darting off as
if you wanted me to go into Black
and White'! and get you a spool of
sewing silk, number 60, corn-color,
or something r
"Then you can put tip the shelf T
"Sure, I've got a couple of old
brackets down stairs, and I'll do it
right now."
And for half an hour Jill heard
hira tawing busily in the coal cel
lar, and pretently from the regions
of the kitchen came the tound of
the blowt of a hammer.
Freaently he returned, hit hair
somewhat rumpled, and he was
breathing hard.
"Is it-"
"Of course, it's up," he snarled
yet, sir, positively snarled. "And
alter this, 1 when you've gut a job
oi carpenter worn lor me io aa, juu
let me know a couple o'days ahead
of time, and I'll take a day olf from
the office and attend to it. Bat
that's iutt the way with women. II
they want something like that dwie,
nothing will do unless it's done right
away that very Instant.
"But, Jack" .
"Yet. 1 know what you're going
to tay. You think you asked me to
put that theli up m the shelf clos
et last summer ana'
"The shelf-closet r
He eyed her sternly.
"Yes, the thelf-closet" .
Jill waa almost overcome by a mad
desire to laugh, but happjly she re
strained hertelf. She smoothed hit
hair and kissed the tip pf hit chin,
and thanked him .prettily.
" And he stamped off to the office
conscious of a valiant deed performed
and scarce grudging the hour taken
from hit work-day.
And ft cost Jill only 75 cents to
have Gus, the town odd-jobs man,
put the shelf up in the pantry that
afternoon, anyway, so it made no
difference.

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Seeing a Thing Through.
You have been very enthusiastic
about a certain project, but you tee
something more interesting to you
ahed and you want to drop every-
tnmir, ana at once.
When you find difficulty in extricat
ing yourself from the mesh of cir
cumstances you gel very restless and
do not do your best.
You are not a good soldier, moral
ly, if you do not stay to the finish.
Your undertaking it larger and
more far-reaching than you suppose
when you undertook to put your re
sources back of it, but that does not
excuse you for dropping it because
you are tired.
Every enterprise entails a moral ob
ligation, and the higher your moral
sense the greater your value in a big
undertaking.
It is easy enough to jump into
things, but how do you stick?
It is the one who will ttick and help
to keep things moving who it really
an important factor in a business, no
matter what the nature of the venture,
always supposing it to be a worthy
one.
You may have jumped into some
thing unthinkingly, but when you
find yourself, rise above everything
and fight it out to a successful finish. J
