The Snoppyquop, seen above, is called the centauifield, and they're a mean pair when it comes to running bases. The Snoppy batting s named Agamem- non, and the one catching, Achilles. This was in the Greek-Trojan series, several years ago. Fans climbed up on the Parthenon &nd hollered, “Attaboy, Ag," or “You STORIES, GAMES, Lesson on : Running With the Ball |few tricks to fool tacklers. Quick | change of directlon’is one method.

ATHER POP TURTLE was seated in the chimney corner, interested In the plctures in The Sunday Star. Presently he looked up over his eye- glasses, “T see by the paper,” he said, “that the Pumpkin Center folks are holdin’ a callco basaar. Me and Ma might take Susie and Little Billy down and take a whirl at a little high life, for a change. Tommy can stay home and look after the house.” Tommy Turtle was sitting on the other side of the fireplace, trying to make a slingshot out of & mop handle. When he heard Pop Turtle say that he had to stay home, Tommy set up such & howl that tho chimi ey swal- low, who had her nest in the eaves, became alarmed and flew out so fast that she barked her shins on the " Pop Turtle continued, “Tom- my must stay home this time and keep an eye on the house, in case any barking dogs, with long ears, should come snooping around.” Then he winked at Ma Turtle and looked awtully sly. Pop Turtle referred to the time that Tommy and Molly Hare made away with Ma Turtle's ples. Pop Turtle hadn't quite forgotten that yet. After a good deal of howling on Tommy's part, it was finally decided thet Tommy. would remain at home and look after the house, provided that Pop Turtle brought him a red balloon, a ball of molasses popcorn and a jew's-harp. S0, early the next morning the whole Turtle family—with the excep- tion of Tommy—got ready to go to the bazaar. After a great deal of bustling around they all got thelr overshoes on, and their shawls pinned around them properly, and an um- brella or two in case of rain, and the lunch done up In a shawl strap, and some fresh water to take along in an empty catchup bottle, and when all was ready for the start, Pop Turtle suddenly remembered that he had forgotten his pipe. After a good deal of searshing the pipe was finally located in Pop Turtle's inside coat pocket, where he had put it himself. Finally they all a!d get ready, and the party set off for the bazaar in high spirits, with Pop Turtle as the head of the procession and Little Billy for fts tail. Tommy looked after them out of the window, and after sticking his tongue out at them several ‘times, he got out some books and fishing tackle, and prepared to while away his time the best he shelves he found some raw rice in ‘Just the thing,” thought 1 have some rice patties.” Mixing up some of the raw rice with some flour, and baking powder, he poked the fire up in the grate, and baked the rice cakes on a stone griddle. When they were brown, and apparently done, Tommy—who was quite hungry by this time—tried to bite Into one of the cakes. He might just as well have bitten Into a stone. laying the cake on a saucer, he brought an axe and gave the cake a tap, to break it in two, but he only succeeded in breaking the saucer. Taking a second look on the shelf, he next found some beans. “Just the thing,” said Tommy. “T'll could. After about an hour had passed away, Tommy began to feel very hun- gry.

Saying which, he filled a pot with a very little water and great number of beans, and went out to the spring house to give the over which they flew, you have the word.

When he re- turned, the water had all boiled off, and the beans were burned to a black crisp. Tommy was getting quite hungry by this time, but, looking a third time on the pantry shelves, he was lucky enough to find a plece of cheese, a very, very ripe tomato and a hunk of bread. With this he man- aged to mako out a meal, and after drinking about twelve or fourteen gourds of spring water, he felt really quite improveq in spirits. So much 80, In fact, that—looking among hie father's effects In the tool chest—he dug up a plece of beeswax, such as shoemakers use in waxing their threads. Tommy conceived the happy idea of polishing the soles of his shoes with the wax, so he could skate on the pine wood floor. Rubbing the wax pretty well on Put It or Take It.

This was great fum. About this time, a blg hornet came salling in at the front door. Tommy grabbed a fiy-swatter and went after him. In making a vicious slap at the hornet, his polished shoes slipped trom under him, and he sat down— plump!—into a bucket of water. This made a change of pantaloons neces- sary, but Tommy didn't mind that; he merely changed from his blue pants to his pink ones. In looking about, after that, it sud- denly oocurred to Tommmy that the walls. of the house looked mighty bare, and that if he could paper them whils the folks were away, they would be delightea with the result when they came back. Fishing out) a pile of old newspapers from under the clothes chest, Tommy proceeded fo make a large pail of pasting liquid with hot water, flour and glue. Mounting a ladder which he brought from the spring house, took a brush in one hand, the bucket of paste in the other, and with a bundle of papers under his arm, he prepared to mount the ladder. Arriving safely at the top, he placed the buocket of paste on the highest rung and com- menced pasting the newspapers on the wall, whistling and carcling as he worked. In this pleasant way the time passed very rapidly, and—just as Tommy was congratulating himself on finishing the job—the front gate opened and Ma and Pop Turtle, Susle and Little Bllly oame trooping up the walk, on thelr way back from the basaar. Tommy gave a last glance at the result of his labor, and made & step down the ladder to open the door. As he did so, his waxed shoe slipped, the ladder tipped over, and down came Tommy in the middle of the floor with the contents of the bucket of paste on top of him. When Ma and Pop Turtle opened the door, & strange sight greeted them. In the center of the room lay Tommy Turtle, covered with flour paste from his tail to his eyebrows; paste all over the floor, walls, and celling; chairs, tables and broken china scattered about, and the walls covered with news- papers. Pop Turtle carrleq Tommy out and put his head under the water pump. Little Billy went out and rolled in the dust, and kicked his heels in the alr. Ma and Susle Turtle went out- side and cried awhils, and then laughed awhile, and then cried sdme more After that Ma and Pop Turtle were very careful about going away and leaving Tommy to look after the house. mysterious dingaroo He wears green plumes and pink ones, He has to speak Through swordlike beak, And he lives on milk and oy dew, €6 A ND the dingaroo has legs ltke an ostrich; In fact, he's built like an ostrich, with green plumes on one glde end pink on the other. He has # long, sharp beak that cuts like a sword, and he has double rows of terrible teeth.” Ferdy Andrews’ eyes were big and solemn 8s he described the mysterious dingaroo bird. The other boys n the oircle looked equally grave. ! *“Certainly sounds interesting” agreed Neil Brown. ‘Tl have to mit that we don't have anything lke that out west. Take me along nmext time you go dingaroo hunting. A dingaroo hunt was Immediately planned to take place next evening. “He certainly fell easy,” whispered Fulton Knox, as they chuckled over having found a mew victim for the time-honored joke of Western Prep School. The next night the bunch met in deep secrecy and started their hike toward Bloomfleld woods. On the way they explained the system of hunting. “Part of us station our- selves around in the woods and the reat drive down the dingaroo.” As soon as they reached the woods they stationed Nefl, then the rest went away, apparently to post them- selves farther on. As a matter of fact, they stole quietly back home. The usual thing was that the victim, after waiting an hour or so, wandered back, too, looking very foolish. Half an hour after the boys re- turned some one rapped at Ferdy An- drews' doar, In came Neil, looking very excited. “Say,” he exclaimed, “I got a shot at the'dingaroo. He got away, but I nicked off one of his feathers.” With shining eyes he held up a pink plume. The boys stared, speechlegs. “You fellows can look it over. I got to run dewn the library to make seme notes before cloging bell, I'l be back. Away he went. The: sllence was broken by a sudden opening of the door and an angry voice. “Oh! Seo here it {s!"

"I knew these boys took it for some of thel monkey-shines.”” She glared at them. “Pity you can't even leave your hat in the hall safely.” The look in the rector’s eyes wasn't very encouraging to the boys in Ferdy's room. —_— Very Paul-—-How many do you smoke? ge—Any given number, clgarettes s day ADVENTURE, Furniture for ERE are the newest styles in doll furniture for fall.

It was just the kind of show that boys and girls in your nelghborhoog can put on by getting their heads together and planning features that are full of snap. The tents can be made of poles covered with blankets, though some of you will probably be able to find real tents in vour attics. The big main tent s set up in the middle with & semi-circle of smaller ones for the sideshows—a photo gallery, a fortune teller, the greatest freak on earth, and the fat lady. For the photograph gallery, a settee i3 arranged with two chalrs, over which is draped a heavy cur- tain. Apparently there is a board connecting the two chairs. The one who is having his picture taken is told ‘to sit in the middle, and when he does so, kerflop! bang! the cur- taln stretches until he hits the floor. The photographer presses the bulb as he goes down, and when the subject leaves, ho is given a picture of = movie actor as his photo. The greatest freak on earth is a surprise also—a full-length mirror, hidden by draperies which are drawn aside, leaving the vietim gazing at the “greatest freak"—himself. Then. of course, there is the fat lady, made with the help of cushions, and many other sideshow favorites. Y In front of the big tent 1s a barker, assisted by a kitchen band, composed of boys playing on kitchen utensil in- struments—a ukelele frylng pan, a dishpan kettle drum, and so forth. The music is. made by einging through kazoos.
