" Not in all the Green Forest is there & wiser or better mother than Mrs. Bear. No one knows better than she the dangers of the Great World nor the importance of learning early in life all those things which a Bear should know who would live toa good old age. So, after allowing the twin cubs, Boxer and Woof-Woof, to play around the entrance to their home under the great windtall for a few days, she took them for their first walk in the Green Forest. H . b . “Now," she said, as sne prepared to lead the way, “vou are to do just as I do. You are to follow right at my +“heels, and the one who turns aside for | @nything without my permission will be spanked. Do you understand? » _“Yes'm,” replied Boxer and Woof- ‘Woof meekly. My, my, my how excited they were as Mother Bear led the way out from | under the old windfall! This was to » be @ great. a wonderful adventure. i They tingled all over. They were ae- i tually going out to sce something of * the Great World! The first thing Mother Bear did was to sit up and carefully test the wind « with her nose. Boxer sat up and did . exactly the same thing. Woof-Woof sat up and did exactly the same thing. The Merry Littie Breezes tickled their | ‘mnoses with many scents. Mother Bear knew what each one was, but, of course, the twins didn't know any of _ them. All they knew was that they # smelled good. * Mother Bear cocked her ears for- ward and listened. Boxer cocked his ears forward and listened. Woof- ‘Woof cocked her ears forward and , listened. Mother Bear looked this way and looked that way. Boxer looked this way and looked that way. Woof- ‘Woof looked this way and looked that way. “These are the things you must al- ways do whenever you start out in the Great World,” explained Mother . Bear in_her deep grumbly, rumbly voice. “You must learn to know the Your nose is more to be trusted than either ears or eves, or both ears and s use all three.” replied Boxer and Woof- Woof. Then Mother Bear started off among the great trees, shuffling along and NOW, S AR SAID SHE, AS SHE TO LEAD THE WAY TO DO JUST AS I DO.

Whatever Mother Bear did the twins They did it because Mother Bear did it. They were keeping their And little as they were they big and important, for now. at last, they were out in the Great World. , Chatterer the Red Squirrel sawj them start out and he chuckled as he watched those two funny little cubs do exactly as Mother Bear did. He followed along in the tree tops, jump- ing from tree to tree, but taking the greatest care to make no noise. He was fairly aching for a chance to re those cubs, but as long as Mother Bear was with them he didn't dare try Mother Bear stopped and sniffed at an old log. Then she went oh. Boxer stopped and solemnly sniffed at that old log. Then he went on. Woof- Woof stopped and sniffed at that old log. Then she went on. And so, at meaning of every scenet that reaches gour nose, of every sound that reaches Your ears, of everything you see, for . only by such knowledge can you keep out of danger. But you must never trust your ears or yous eyes only. last, they came to a place where the earth was soft and where grew cer- tain roots of which Mrs. Bear is very fond. (Copyright, 1921, by T. W.

I wish, too, you could see ‘the trees and the flowers that are now out all over. The dogwood is wonderful when in bloom and Lad- die Boy, the mew dog at the White znoun. seems to know it is spring, I wish you could have seen the ple climb up on the fence and k over the hedge. You know what looks like the front of the ‘White House on Pennsylvania ave- nue is not really the front at all, but it is always used as such for callers and automobiles. The front is the beautiful grounds that run down to the drive that runs around the El- lipse, which is between the White House grounds and the Washington | Monument. 7 In those grounds are trees, from | every climate, that can be made to grow here in Washington. There is | | ury (Copyright, 1921, by the International Syndicate.) WHITE HOUSE. one tree from Russia. Many of the trees have tons and tons of some- thing, concrete, 1 guess, in . their trunks to hold them up, they are so old and still so beautiful. I do not understand how the leaves keep on coming out year after year when at least one tree that I saw did not seem to have any insides to it at all. Mr. Harding, the day I saw him, seemed to look at every one of the trees with the greatest interest and at how the grass was coming along. On the outside of the iron fence the police were kept busy keeping the automobiles and the people moving. They did not hurry anybody, but the crowd got so big they had to keep the people moving a little bit. You know the White House is much different now than a long time ago, for the offices have been added to the one side, while the place where they grow beautiful flowers is on the side where the. U. 8.

Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, one of the most active members of the up- per house, who is going to be es- pecially busy during the extra ses- sion, as chairman of the joint com- \mittee on reorganization of the fed- eral tablishment and in putting ‘through a reclassification of govern- ment employes, seeks his recreation visiting the animals at the Zoo. He spends a great deal of his free f Has always leved animals. time talking with the parrots, and is ¢specially fond of one named Helen. Senator Smoot says that he and Helen can understand each other perfectly. They usually start the conversation by some such overture as whether Helen is hungry or not Senator Smoot goes to the Zoo reg- ularly after dinner on Sunday—his only holiday—for an hour and a half while he is talking with the par- rofs alwaye has a big asdience.

He has a magnificent home near the entrance to the Zoo. ‘Where Sympathy Bubbles. Human sympathy bubbles strong in the breast of Secretary Henry C. Wal- lace of the Department of Agricul- ture, who is just now using his strongest personal influence with the commandant of the Marine Corps to keep a marine from being punished. The Secretary, with Assistant Secre- tary E. D. Ball, J. L. Cobb, chief of publications, and Harlan Smith, di- rector of information for the depart- ment, was driving back to the depart- ment administration building ; from lunch when just in front of his office one of the reins was grabbed by a marine. The horse was startled and dragged the marine, who was run over by the carriage. The marine’s “buddie” said he was suffering from shell-shock. At the hospital it was said that both marines were suffering from something else Secretary Wallace's ohief concern has been that the marine would not be severely punished. He has re- ceived several letters apologizing for the act, and has written personally to Gen. Lejeune, commandant of the Marine Corps, saying that he hoped the marine would not be made to suffer, and that the incident had in no way lessened his high regard for the Marine Corp: From a Famous Ship. Col. E. Lester Jones, superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey, has had gavels turned from a beam of teakwood from Peary’s north pole #£hip, the Roosevelt, and has presented them, each bearing an engraved gold p}ale to Vice President Calvin Coolidge, Speaker Frederick H. Glllett, Theo- dore R.oyum'. Jr., assistant secretary of the Navy, and Mrs. Robert & Peary. ‘The gavels were presented to As- sistant Secretary Rooseveit as the eldest son of the colonel, for whom the north pole ship was named, to be handed down as a family memento, and to Mrs. Peary so that the de- scendants of the discoverer of the north pole should have that souvenir of the specially designed vessel in vhich he made the historic Journey. Jones was a close friend and admirer of Admiral Peary. He was associated with him on the original aerial coastal patrol commission in 1913 and 1914, and Peary brought back to the coast and geodetic survey the results of his Imvestigations at the pole, to be completed at the sur- vey under the dfrection of Col.

Got a couple of birds from the Galety lunching at the Cri.” “Not today,” said Hugh. *“T've got quite a bit to get through this after- noon.” As soon as Darrell had gone, Drum- mond again rang the bell for his servant. “This afternoon, James, you and Mrs. Denny will leave here and go to Paddington. Go out by the front door, and should you find yourselves being followed—as you probably will be—consume a jujube and keep your heads. Having arrived at the book- ing-office—take a ticket to Chelten- ham, say goodbye to Mrs. Denny in an impassioned tone, and exhort her not to miss the next train to that delect- able inland resort.. You might even speak slightingly about her sick aunt at Westbourne Grove, who alone pre- vents your admirable wife from ac- companying you. Then, James, you will board the train for Cheltenham and go there. You will remain there for two days, during which period you must remember that you're a married man—even if you do go to the movies. You will then return here, and await further orders. Do you get me?" “Yes, sir.” James stood to at- tention with a smart heel-click. “Your wife—she has a sister or something, hasn’t she, knocking about somewhere " “She 'as a palsied cousin in Cam- berwell, sir,” remarked James with Justifiable pride. “Magnificent,” murmured Hugh. “She will dally until eventide with her palsied cousin—if she can bear it—and then she must go by under- ground to Ealing, where she will take a ticket to Goring. 1 don’t think there will be any chance of her being followed—you'll have drawn them oft. When she gets to Goring, I want the cottage got ready at once, for two visitors.” He paused and lit a cigarette. ‘Above all, James— mum’s the word. As I told you a lit- tle while ago, the game has begun. Now, just repeat what I've told you.” He listened while his servant ran through his instructions, and nodded approvingly. “To think there are still people who think military service a waste of time!* he mur- mured. *“Four years ago you couldn't have got one word of it right.” He dismissed Denny, and sat down at his desk. First he took the half- torn sheet out of his pocket, and, put- ting it in an envelope, sealed it care- fully. Then he placed it in another envelope, with a covering letter to his bank, requesting them to keep the inclosure intact. .- Then he tock a sheet of'note paper, and with much deliberation proceed- ed to pen a document which afforded him considerable amusement, judg- ing by the grin which appeared from time to time on his face. This effu- sion he also inclosed in a sealed en- velope, which he again addressed to his bank. Finally, he stamped the first, but not the second—and placed them both in his pocket. For the next two hours he appar- ently found nothing better to do than eat a perfectly grilled chop prepared by Mrs. Denny, and superintend his visitor unwillingly consuming a s\go pudding. Then, with the departure of the Dennys for Paddington, which coincided most aptly with the return of Peter Darrell, a period of activity commenced in Half Moon street. But being interfor activity, interfering in no way with the placid warmth of the street outside, the gentleman without, whom a keen observer might have thought strangely interested in the beauties of that well known thor- oughfare—seeing that he had been there for three hours—remained se- renely unconscious of it. His pal had followed the Dennys to Paddington. Drummond had not come out—and the watcher who watched without was beginning to get bored. About 4:30 he sat up and took notice again as some omne left the house; but it was only the superbly dressed young man whom he had discovered already was merely a clothes peg calling himself Darrell. The sun was getting low and the shadows were lengthening when a taxi drove up to the door. Imme- diately the watcher drew closer, only to stop with a faint smile as he saw two men get out of it One was the immaculate Darrell; the other was a stranger, and both were quite ol viously what in the vernacular is known as oiled. “You prisheless ole bean,” he heard Darrell say affectionately, “thish blinking cabsh my show.” ‘The other man hiccoughed assent, and leant wearily against the pal- ings. “Right,” he remarked, “ole friend of me youth. It shall be ash you wish.” With & tolerant eye he watched them tack up the stairs, singing lustily in chorus. Then the door above closed, and the melody con- tinued to float out through the open ‘window. ‘Ten minutes later he was relieved. Tt was quite an unostentatious relief: another man merely strolled past him. And, since there was nothing to report, he merely strolled away. He eould ly be expected to know that up in Peter Darrell's sitting- room, two perfectly sober young men were contemplating with professional eyes an extremely drunk gentleman singing in a chair, and that one of those two sober young men was Poter Darrell Then further interior activity took place in Half Moon street, and as darkness fell, silence gradually set- tled on the house. Ten o'clock the silence remained umbroken. was not till 11:30 that a sudden small sound made Hugh Drummond sit up in his chair, with every nerve alert. It came from the direction of the kitchen—and it was the sound he had been waiting for, Swiftly he o] his door and passed along the passage to where the motionless man lay stfll n bed. Then he switched on a small read- ing-lamp, and, with a piate of semolina m his hand he turned to the recumbent figure. “Hiram C. Potts,” he sald, in a low, coaxing tone. “sit up and take your semolina. Force yourse laddie, force yourself. 1 know it's nauseat- ing, but the doctor said no aloohol and very little meat” In the silence that followed, a board creaked outside, and again he tempted the sick man with food. “Semolina, Hiram—semolina. Makes bouncing babies. I'd just love to see you bounce, my Potts.” His voice died away, and he rose slowly to his feet.
