Of course, if h8 had been born and had spent all his life by the seashore he would have known all about a great many things that now made him curi- ous. But he wasn’t born there and he didn't know about them, and he want- ed to know about them. Every once in a while Danny went *HELLO, PEEP!” CRIED DANNY. over to Crabtown to watch the Fiddler Crabs. It had surprised him to find that they could dig holes and that they Jived in holes in the ground. When- ever he saw a hole in the mud he would wonder if a Fiddler Crab was living there | This Crabtown was on the bank of | a or in the salt marsh. Danny | soon discovered that when the tide was way out there was very little water left in the creek, and there were | big mud flats and sand bars. He| often saw Peep the Least Sandpiper | with his friends running about there. | Sometimes there were. larger birds | with them. Occasionally he saw Tat tler the Yellow-leg Al y: seemed to find plenty to ez ed to be having a splendid time run- ning about. Very early one morning when the tide was out Danny ventured to run out on a mud flat just a little way fronr the sheltering grass of the marsh. He didn't go %o far but that he could run back in a jiffy. Right away Danny noticed a number of lit- tle holes in the mud. They were small holes. They were nowhere near ®s big holes ak Fiddler Crabs dug over in Crabtown, but they were holes that some one had made, and of course Danny's curiosity was very much arouse Peep the Sandpiper came running past. “Hello, Peep!” cried Danny. “Hello, Danny,” cried Peep, for by this time they had become well ace “I can't say, but'l fancy so,” replied Peep. “Is it & crab?” Danny asked. “I don’t think so,” replied Peep. “If T wait, will it come out?” Danny d. replied to join some of Peep, and flew over his friends on a little sand bar. “It must be a worm,” thought Dan- ny. “I guess a great big worm must have made that hole. Still, when the water comes in the worm would drown. I wonder if 1 could dig him out. I have a notion to try. Yes, sir, I have a notion to try.” Danny leaned over and tried to look down that hole, but he couldn’t see anything. He was still doing this and wondering what could be down in that hole when suddenly a stream of water hit him right straight in the eye. Yes, sir, Danny got an eyeful! In fact, he got both eyes full. It was salt water, too, and it made his eyes smart, to say nothing of the way it scared him. And that stream of water had come right straight up from the hole Danny had been looking down in. From the shelter of the grass on the edge of the marsh Danny watched those holes. By and by Tattler the Yellow-legs came walking _along. When he stepped near one of those holes Danny saw a stream of water come up. _Tattler didn’t pay any at- tentfon. He just went on about his business. He seemed to take it as a matter of course. But Danny was fairly burning up with _curlosity. What could have made that water squirt up that way? SONNYSAYINGS . BY FANNY Y.

Every girl knows the value of get- ting in right with the future mother- In-law after the boy friend has been attracted. But some maidens pull the bone of {rying to get in with mother first. Nine times out ef ten, when she does this she spoils her chances Wwith the boy himself. Boys love their mothers, ves, and they want their mothers to get along well with their future wives. But they want to pick out the wife; they want no parental assistance. And they are rather apt to regard with deep suspi- cion any ope of whom their mothers say fondly, “Oh, she's such a lovely girl, Billy dear. I do hope you and she will get to be great friends. Billy is seldom favorably impressed upon hearing this piece of informa- tion. Nor is he overpleased when he discovers that the young woman men- tioned is in strong with all the rest of the family. He decides before he's seen the poor. girl that she's probably a washout. What does she want to go and butt into his family for? Hasn't she a fam. ily of her own?

But maybe he didn't respond as quickly as she'd hoped poor, benighted girl is out Then came the femptation to do a little heavy work with the maternal parent. Why not slip her a sample of ex- cellent cooking? Why not have a few chats on serious subjects, just to prove at all modern girls aren’t light- minded flappers These ideas came drifting through the girl's mind, and she acted on them —with disastrous results, She gat in soft with mother—and 1a bad with the object of her affections. Better let him pick you out first— then persuade his mother that you're the right kind of girl to be his wife. If you persuade her first, you'll have a lot of trouble persuading him next.

HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. “Doughboy.” “Doughboy’ is a term which most people regard as having originated during the late war, when it was so frequently on people’s llps as a nick- name for our soldlers. The fact is however, that it had its origin some. what further back—that is, during the Revolutionary War! In accordance with the British sys- tem of rationing, every soldier of the colonial army during the American Revolution was supplied daily with three or four cakes of bread, consist- ing of flour and water more or less baked. and resembling in appearance as well as taste nothing but dough. So they called them “doughboys,” and be- fore the end of the war the name came to be applied to the men who subsisted on them. During the Civil War the name was revived, but this time the large brass buttons on the uniforms of the infan- try were the inspiration for it. Some one suggested that they were as big as boiled dumplings or dough cakes. So the soldiers became ‘doughboys’ once again!

PALE Leila Marsh, who has always been accustomed to idleness, is left without money. She finds her rich friends of the fair-weather variety and, because she has never been taught to do any- thing, is forced to take a position as lady’s maid with Mona Kingsley, a very rich woman. In the family are Richerd, Mona’s husbend, and Barry, the son, a spoiled weakling. Mona amuses herself by humiliating Leila before others, and Barry, because of her beauty, persecutes her in other ways. Richard discolers this and is sorry for the girl. He learns that she is trying to fit herself for a better position and offers to help her. Later he discovers, to his amazement, that hig feeling toward the girl is not entirely platonic. CHAPTER XXIIL The Plot Thickens. During the next few days after her interview with Richard, Leila began once more to be uncomfortable where Barry was concerned. It wasn't that he stopped her and tried to engage her in conversation, but for all that he was always passing her in the hall, and it seemed to her that she met him far oftener than could be put down to coincidence. She began to wonder what his next move would be, for she was quite sure now that he had some- thing in mind. It annoyed her to have this feeling constantly with her, par- ticularly since her interview with Richard had made her happlier than a long while Of course, her opinfon of him had changed since that evening. His treat- ment of her had been o courteous, so more than kind, That simple act of rising to his feet when she entered the room had gone a long way toward restoring her pride, aifd his quick un derstanding of her refusal to let him help her at the present time had | glven her the feeling that he had her good at heart. When she had firs Kingsley household s of Richard as an overbearing, arro gant cynic. Now she felt that he merely wore a mask to cover up the entered the had thought was Jargely responsible for his unhap- piness she did not doubt. She had evi- dently killed his love for her because of her insatiable love of admiration Leila began to pity Richard Kings- ley. She began to wonder what he would be like with that scowl re- moved from his face, and his stern mouth relaxed and happy. That night | when he had talked with her he had been strikingly bandsome. With the lines smoothed out of his face, he was like a boy. It wasn't until he had spoken of Mona that the scowl had re- turned and bitterness had crept into his voice. He had evidently loved her very deeply at one time, or her tude couldn't have affected him much. The G-E Fan searches the simmering corners for lazyair —stirs it up—moves it along—makes it a breeze.

It had to be all done over while Leila's hands trembled with nervousness and Mona’s cerulean blue eyes looked like still pools of ice.
