o R 'BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Beware of tricky people; the; Caznot be trusted night ot dav. Reddy Fox was mad. He was mad elear through. Yes, sir, he was for a fact. You see, he had been sure, just #s sure as that he was alive, that he would catch Peter Rabbit, and Peter hdd escaped. Peter had reached an old Hollow log on the edge of the swamp just in the very nick of time. Reddy had forgotten all about that hollow logg. Had he remembered it he might have run just a wee bit faster, “ and that would have been enough to ‘have caught Peter. You see, Reddy Enew that Peter had been running t as fast as he possibly could. e o hia'is what made Reddy mad lear through. He wasn't mad with Pecer: he was mad with himselt. He Bad beeén sure that there wasn't a single place of safety anywhere in that swamp for,Peter. and so he had felt that Peter was just as good as caught. And now Peter was safe, and " Hhavoia log. Reddy ground his teeth in anger, but he took care to do it so that Peter shouldn't hear him. \ He poked his sharp nose in the hole {lirough which Peter had escaped, but his nose was about all he could get in; His head was too big. “Peter. said Reddy, “you are a great runner. Reddy’s voice was smooth and pleas- ant To have heard him you would ‘never have guessed how disappointed he was and how angry Inside. y “Yes, indeed, Peter, you are a great ruiner. You surprised me. You did, indeed. I believe you coyld beat me in_gnother race. You did this time, and I-belleve you could do it again. What do you say te trfing another race when you have got your breath? To beat me twice would be something to boast abeut in the Green Forest #nd dn the Green Meadows. I tell You what, Peter, I'll give you just the saine start of me you had before. You Deat me this time. If you do it again 111 fell everybody that you are a | better runner than 1. What do you £ Now, Reddy had said all this in the friendliest volce imaginable. Peter /inside the hollow log, panting for / breath, grinned as he listened. “He mast think 1 have grown simple- mindéd if he has the least idea that he can get me out with any such talk as that,” thought Peter. Aloud be sald, “No, thank you., Reddy. I'm #atisfled to have won one race, and | pylk ginge it will take me the rest of the morn- ing to get my breath. Just tell the folks that I beat you this t| other’ day, perhaps, I will again.” : Reddy drew back his lips in an ugly snarl, but he turned his head so ‘that Peter couldn’t see. “Just as you say, Péter,” said he. and his voice was smooth and friendly. “It is getting Jate and 1 must be getting back to the Old Pasture. So long, Peter, un- til next time. I promised Mrs. Reddy that 1 would be back early, and I must; hurry.” With this Reddy turned and trotted away toward the Green Meadows, which he would have to cross to redch the Old Pasture. Peter crept fo the opening in the end of the old log to watch him. He could see Red- dy for quite a distance, and not orice did@ Reddy look back. He trotted straight along as if he had no thought of anything but getting home, as-he had said. Finally he disappeared behind some tall ferns on the very edge of the swamp. _Once behind those ferns Reddy ran swiftly, but hot toward the Old Pas- ‘e. Instead he made a wide circle as to come in back of that old log. he approached it he moved as éau- tiously as only a Fox can. Finally he crept almost on his stomach until he reached a2 hiding placé among some ferns from which he. could watch that old log. Then he lay down, grinning wickedly. He was trying an old trick that had caught him many a dinner. . (Copyright, 1921, by T. W. Burgés.) do bddy Fox Tries an Old Trick ause he. Reddy, had forgotten | FEATURE PAGE. (Continued from Yesterday’s Star.) Yet when he had traversed the {park and turned-down the broad ave- nue sentimental reminscence had been superseded by a reversion to the Stern realities of the present. Old, heart-warming memories were all right in their place, but a crime had been committed and Special Deputy McCarty was out for evidence which might iead to its perpetrator. A block or two morth of the Crevel- ing house he ‘stopped before one which, although smaller by half than the palatial home in which Creveling had met his death, was bullt upon'the same general architectural lines. An elgetric brougham stood at the curb afd as-McCarty descended the steps to the entrance and reached out his hand to touch the bell the door was opefed from within by a lanky foot- man and a trim little figure appeared on_the threshold. With raven-black hair coiled be- face the young woman paused and eyes that were a still deeper blue set in the clear, alabaster oval of her face the young woman paused and regarded him with grave inquiry. The little princess grown up! McCarty flushed and swept off his hat, ignoring the Pact that the foot- man still held the door open, staring with all his eyes. “Mrs. O'Rourke Yes. What is it, please?’ Her voice was low and clear without 2 trace of impatience, but her gaze trav- eled past him to the waiting car. “Could vou spare me a few minutes on a matter of great importance, ma'am? T've come from police head- quarters. UPOL‘ A little frown had gathered between her narrow straight brows. “Oh, I presume it is in connection with the sudden death of our friend Mr. Creveling?’ McCarty bowed again. “You have heard from Mrs. Creve- ling?" “Yes. Her maid was sent to me with a message not an hour ago. But comé in; I can spare you a few minutes, of course, but I am afraid that I will be of little assistance to you. You are a detective? She added the question as she turned and led him past the round- eyed footman into a cool, dim draw- ing room, motioning for him to take a seat. McCarty regarded the fragile chair with some Wnisgiving and settled his rly upon it before he re- plied: “Retired, ma'am, and it's only fair ime. Some |45 tell you that I am not here offi- it cially. so to speak. I'm an old friend of the inspector in charge of the case and he often calls on me to help him out by gathering general infor- mation for him when he's too busy to go after the side issues himself.” McCarty beamed disingenuously upon her. “I'm sorry to be bothering you. but the inspgetor wants me to see as many of the 'Crevelings’ close friends as T can locate and find out if they have any idea why he would take his own lify Mrs. O'Rourke drew a deep breath and her starry eyes widened. “I thought—that is, Mrs. Creveling' message was to the effect that he ha been shot!” Her tones vibrated through the stillness of the room. “I did not know that it was suicide. We —my husbund and T—fancied that it was an accident of some kind. It did not occur to us——’ Her voice trailed off into silence and a faint wild-rose color appeared in the creamy whiteness of her delicate face. “The medical examiner.says that Mr. Creveling killed himself. but as a matter of form the inspector has to Took into every possjbility. ma'am. especially as up to now they've found no motive for suicide and Mra.

McBride & Co. . {dife that ‘no one knows anything | an investigation that's bound to bring THE EVENING > during her trouble.” Mrs. O'Rourke hesitated. “To man it may sound horribly frivolous at such a time, but a woman would understand that the conven- tions must be observed. This friend merely stated the fact of Mr. Creve- ling’s sudden death and requested that I arrange about mourning for Mrs. Creveling. 1 was starting for the modiste’'s when you came.” “Who is this mutual friend?" Mc- Carty added as a quick thought flashed across his mind, “‘Mrs. Doug- las Waverly?” The lady nodded. “My husband has gone to the house now to offer his services and I would have accompanied him, of course, but Mrs. Waverly said that Mrs. Creveling :l;as \l!terly"fflllllrlledl and could not e me until later.. It—it must be terrible .foo he: = McCarty regarded the exquisite, flowerlike face opposite in contem- plative silence for a moment. There had been a suggestion of horror in her hushed tones when she spoke of the tragedy, but only in that quick, almost Involuntary exclamation had real feeling made itself manifest, and her softly curving lips trembled for the first time.. It was evident that her sympathy went out in generous abundance to the bereaved wife, but what of her attitude toward the dead man whom she had called their friend? Beyond a well-bred air of almost perfunctory regret he could discern no trace of any emotion other than a sort of shocked repugnance at the manner of his taking off. “Mr. Creveling was an friend of yours, ma'am?" asked. “Of my husband’ she replied quickly. “Of course, we were all in the same set'and met constantly at social affairs, but I naturally saw more of his wife. Mr. Creveling was essentlally a—a man's man: I mean intimate McCarty that his men friends would know | more of his personal affairs than any of the women of his wife's immediate I circle.” McCarty eyed her warily. Was it Possible that there was a significance in her words other than that she had intended to convey? She had spoken of the women like herfelf, those in his wife's circle; but what of other women? Could be that unsavory rumors concerni: the man now dead Fad reached even her ears? Under his steady scrutiny she began to fumble with her glove and he noticed that her hands were little larger than those of a child. How tiny she was, and dainty. and Lord! how pretty! Irrelevantly his thoughts flashed back to the long ago. There was no trace of the childish treble in her low, softly vibrating tones, no | sugg-stion of the rosy, tousle-headed baby in this well-poised woman with the colorless, brunette beauty of Ire- land's highest type, and yet some- how he saw again in her the little companion of far-off days. Her voice breaking in the silence brought him back sharply to the problem of the moment. “My husband will return at any minute and if you wait for him I am sure he will give you any information in his power, but I am afraid he will be able to help you as little as I can. It seems almost incredible that this should have come to pass. Mr. Creve- ling had everything to live for; .a| charming wife, money, friends. all that the world holds precious. It is very sad.” She made a slight gesture as it about to rise and terminate the in- terview, but McCanty stayed her. “It's more than that, ma'am.. I was with the inspector when he talked with Mrs. Creveling and, as I said, she won't have it that he killed him- self, not even by accident. If a mo. tive can’t be proved for suicide it's apt to make a lot of 4rouble for the department and bring notoriety on all their,friends.” “You don't mean that Mrs. Crevel- ing fancies some one actually killed her husband!" cried Mrs. O'Rourke in shocked amazement. “She must be hysterical, the blow has come so sud- denly- ) McCarty shook his head. “I've seen many a hysterical woman when I was conmected with the force, ma’am. and she was far from it. I'd say Mrs. Creveling was the most level-headed- one in the whole busi- ness and she took the news without the flicker of an eyelash. From the minute she heard he had been shot. she set her mind on finding his pos- sible murderer, and she was so de- termined about it that she's called in the biggest man in his line in tha country, the criminologist, Wade Ter- hune.” “Terhune! I've heard of Him, of course” Mrs. O'Rourke - observed. After a pause she added: “No one can blame her for wanting to be sure, to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that her husband was responsible for his_own death when it occurred in such a dreadful, mysterious way, but if the medical examiner, as you say, has proved that it was a case of suicide she is only harrowing herself needlessly. Why should she think that any one would want to take Mr. Creveling’s life?” “For the same reason that you say the idea of his killing himself is al- most incredible, as far as I can make out. ma'am; that he had no cause,’ McCarty responded. “My experience before I retired, though, taught me that there’s many a troubie in & man's about. However, since this is a case of suicide, the sooner the inspector establishes a motive for it the quicker the thought of ita being anything else will die out of Mrs. Creveling’s mind and the more ready she'll be to drop anneyance to a lot of innocent people. Your name and Mr. O'Rourke’s being mentioned as among their best friends, the inspector sent me to ask you in confidence if Mr. Creveling had seemed to be troubled about any- thing lately and if he’d maybe drop- ped a hint as to what might have been on his mind. . “No, I could not say that Mr. Cre- veling betrayed any sign that would lead one to think he was worried. much less that he contemplated sui- cide.” Mrs. O'Rourke said slowly. .“If anything, he has seemed to be in more than his usual spirits, but I have seen little of him during the latter part of the season. Mrs.. Crevellng has been away, ‘you know. My husband ran into him frequently about town, I be- lieve; he would be better able to an- swer your question—Oh, here he is row!” The front door closed with a muf- ifled jar and strong but springy foot- steps crossed the hall. The next in- stant the curtains at the entrance to the drawing-room were thrust aside and a tall young man stood looking in upon them. McCarty caught his breath. If the chubby little Lady Peggy had changed almost beyond recognition, John Cav- anaugh O'Rourke had not. The same clean-cut, freckled, sensitive face, the same thatch of brick-red hair still rrlepressibly curly, the same’ clear gray eyes with the boyish twinkle barely, subdued in' them! McCarty could with difficulty restrain the ex- clamation which leaped to his lips. “Come in, John Mrs. O’Rourke rose from her chair. “This man has been sent here by some official of the police department to make . fnquiries about Eugehne, to learn if we know of any reason why he killed.himself. I told him that you would be able to 'Iu.luw_t;r his questions better than “There’s no answer!” Mr. O'Rourke came forward frankly. “There doesn’t seem to be a reason in the world why the old boy should have done him- lel; in. But why have you come to us?* His tone was friendly and McCarty smiled broadly in response.

Take a Bracer Every Hour. * Splanchnic anhedonia, which, as ev- ery schoolboy now knows, is the In- capacity to enjoy life assoclated with sagging abdominal organs, is prefty generally induced or at least favored by a, slumpy posture. If you will stop and look about and visualize your cheerful, happy, good-natured acquain- tances, you will find that they are all fairly well set up, they carry themselves well, they have a good posture. On the other hand, recall the slumpy, slouchy, weak, ungalnly posture of your sad, gloomy, melcancholic or unhappy friends. 1s good posture an expression, merely, of vigor, health and cheerful-minded- ness, or is health of body and mind a state more or less dependent on good posture? Of course the answer to this question is a matter of opinion. In my epinion good posture is rather the deter- minant of the physical and mental health that assures happiness. I am no iever in thay popular injunction mile and be ppy.” To my mind you have got to be happy in order to register a real smile. And happiness is health. \ In’ recommending half a dozen or more somersaults on the floor, or on a mattress or mat or pillows, each night and morning, as a prophylatic against stagnation of the splanchnic pool and the long train of evils suf- fered therefrom, 1 have specified the importance 6f coming up smiling. Some_correspondents of twenty, forty or sixty have written me painful let- ters asking how in somewhere a per- son can come up smiling if he is so dizzy and sick he can't get outa bed for a week after the first attempt at somersaults. You see—that is what false dignity and neglect of physical education will do to you. Bearing in mind, then, children, what 1 told you the other day about the three-inch lift one can give a sag- ging stomach or other organ .by mere- ly concentrating the abdominal muscles and lifting up the chest, and remem- bering_also the pumping effect on the splanchnic pool produced by ~vigorous ly contracting the abdominal muscles (such as occurs in a hearty laugh), it should not be difficult for us to comprehend the good health value of the habit of taking an hourly bracer, a little something to drive away the willies, a sort of organized stretch, if you know what I mean. Although it is best, if possible, to stand up for this hourly bracer, a- fairly good bracer may be taken sit- ting or even lying down. Study your automatic actions, or those of your friends, while naturally laughing “and Wwhile unconsciously stretching, and strive to imitate those muscular ac- tions in your hourly bracer. Bad busi- ness, very bad, to walt for the end of the seventh inning to take a bracer. Most_everybody needs one at least ev- ery inning. Study your own muscle sensations while you assume a per- fectly erect posture standing vigor- ously at attention, and strive to put all those muscles into action for a moment—no time at all—every hour. Every time the clock strikes take your Bracer—drawing the chest well up, chin well in, crown as high as you can reach, toes a little in, shoulders down and back, thumbs out, palms forward, knees stiff, and most particularly of ali efface that *‘stomach.” LISTEN, WORLD! By Elsie Robinson. The more I See of polite gestures and grammar, the less do I think of them as tests of true “gentleness.” It takes more than surface decora- tions to make a real lady or gentle- man. Out on the desert and in the lost ranges you will often find the finest gentle folk, but they're apt to cat with their knives and dine in their shirt sleeves. Yet no knight in gleaming armor knew truer chivalry than that which abides in their hearts. The “lady" or “gentleman” : who will give way to spurts of weakness 4he Gentleman- ‘ which ® ® or violence; who will graft, or pose, or cringe, or prate. is infinitely more uncouth than the cowboy whose soup drinking sounds like a spring freshet, but whose will is chilled steel in the conduct of fis affairs. The un- lettered clerk whe slouches around the house in his slippers, helping his wife “do dishes,” is far more courgly than the drawing room ornament who chatters of the latest opera while his dad sweats for his bills and his wife weeps, or “steps out,” because of his sins. Unle$s your pretty manners are hung on the backbone of character, you're simply a_social pen-wiper. Self-restraint, self-reliance, frank ness, humility, cheerfulness, friendli- ness ‘and grit—these are the true gentle- ness. The rest is bandoline. Caulifiower Fritters. Boil a good-sized cauliflower until nearly cooked. When drained and cold, break off the branches into even sprigs. Season with pepper and salt, dredge well with flour and dip into good batter.

The Old Gardener Says: Grapes of the best quality are obtained by tying paper bags over the bunches, bringing the mouth of the bag together around the stem. When this plan is followed no damage is done by birds or insects and perfect bunches of fruit are pro- duced. It is worth while to bag at least a few bunches of grapes to be kept after the main crop has been disposed of. Common paper bags from the grocery store will be satisfactory for this purpose. To Can Vegetable Soup. A vegetable soup is one of the best canned helps to the housewife. Cut intoysmall pieces some tomatoes, on- ions, parsley, carrots, sweet peppers, okra and any other vegefables you wish. Stew together until thoroughly done. To each pint jar add half a teaspoonful of salt. Flavor with cel- ery. These soup vegetables are so delicious that just the addition of boiling water makes a very palatable soup. Two large teaspoons of beef extract to a quart of boiling water and a jar of the canned vegetables make a delicious soup. Glazed Carrots and Peas. Wash and scrape three medium- sized carrots. cut in one-fourth-inch slices and then cut the slices in fancy shaped pieces. Cook for fifteen min- utes in boiling salted water, drain and put in a saucepan with one-half cup of butter. one-half cup of sugar and -one tablespoonful of chopped fresh mint leaves. Cook slowly until glazed and tender. Drain one can of peas. or equal amount of fresh peas would be still better, and rinse thor- oughly with cold water. Put in a saucepan, cover with boiling witer and boil ten minutes, drajn, season with butter, salt and pepper and sur- round with carrots. Things You'll Like to Make.
