E Dog waiting outside the hoie into which he had driven Reddy Fox was too excited to do apy real thinking. He had been surprised to hear some one apparently coming up on his way out of that hole, and having seen Reddy Fox go in, he, of course, was sure that it was Reddy he now heard. Jt was surprising, most sur- prising, that he should be coming out, but so much the better. This was better luck than he had dreamed of when he saw Reddy enter there. “That fellow didn’t look as if he could put up much of a fight, but one can never tell. I'll be ready to grab "him the instant he is outside, —= — THE DOG WAITED OUTSIDE THE HOLE INTO WHICH HE HAD DRIVEN REDDY FOX. before he has time ‘o get ready to fight,” said he to himself. “He is a bold fellow to come out when he knews I am out here waiting for him.” Meanwhile, down inside, Reddy Fox had feund s little side passage and by digging & little had managed to squeeze into that, for you remember | that down below in the bed room were Jimmy Skunk and his two grown sons | and Reddy didn't want to be in the way should they take it into their heads to want to go out before he dared to. No, indeed; he didn’t want any trouble at all. He had no right to be in there, anyway, That is, he had no right save the right of last resort to save his life. Those Skunks could make it very unpleasant for him in there. Indeed, they could drive him out if they wanted to. So Reddy ‘was most anxious to avoid doing any- thing that they might not like. As for Jimmy Skunk, he didn't like the noise that barking Dog was mak- ing, and he said so. “If that Dog doesn't stop his noise I am going to do something about it,” said he. “What are you going to do about 1t2” asked one of the others.

The play was fairly sutomatic, East opened the king of diamonds and ahifted to s low club. West took with the ace, returning the ace of diamonds and a third round of the suit, which East ruffed. East cashed the king of clubs—not the best play. A jack of hearts shift will set the contract 2,000 points. Even at this point it was not too late, but East played back s low heart. North ducked the trick completely in dumrhy and West went up with the king. Two diamonds, & ruff, three spades, two clubs and & heart set North, who was more or less acting the part of an innocent bystander, 1,400 points. She got off cheaply.

He said nothing to Jimmy and Jimmy said nothing to him, but shuffied along up toward the entrance. “I wonder if he will go out with that Dog right there,” thought Reddy. “If he does, that Dog will wish he hadn’t chased me into this place. He will s0.” Jimmy stopped just before putting his bead out. That Dog was quiet now. Could it be that he had given up and gone on his way? Jimmy doubted it. “Must have heard me coming and |is waiting for me outside,” muttered Jimmy. “Too bad to keep him wait- ing. Yes, sir; it is too bad to keep him waiting.

Wasn't that & foolish Dog? He did little more than start that them smart and blinded him. He choked and strangled and gasped for breath. He yelped instead of barking. He had changed his tune, as Jimmy had said he would make him do. He rolled over and over and rubbed his face in the dead grass. He kept doing it. Jimmy watched him for a few min- utes. Then he lowered his big tail. turned and calmly walked back to re- sume his interrupted nap. (Copyright, 1935. The Pioneer BY JAMES J.

Before the robin winged his flight ‘To hail the coming May, The little shining aconite Burst bravely by the wa: And starred the damp, hal -sleeping mold ‘With tiny blooms of glowing gold. | The violets were hidden deep Beneath the sodden ground, The trilliums still were half asleep, No bloodroot could be found, Yet stir a leaf-stalk as you pass When 8pring is in the skies, | And from the edges of the grass An aconite doth rise, And soon its brothers, one by one, Have struggled forth to meet the sun. Ere long they'll all be on parade Among the garden trees, To flutter in the sun and shade | _ And lure the singing bees; But, while the seasons drift along, While Summer takes her flight, I'll chant a little grateful song | _To young Miss Aconite. | Forever may she reappear | To tell the world that Spring is here.

It is thought that the personal name Roger gave. rise to these names through its nicknsme Hodge. From that came the name Hodson, Hodgson and Hudson. The first man in America begring the name Hudson was the English sailor and explorer, Henry Hudson (sometimes called Hendrik), in the | service of the Dutch East India Co.

They can “look a hole through you.” Protruding eyes seem | to tell us a story of curiosity, perhaps anxiety or even fear. We imagine their possessors find it hard to see as much as they would like to see, and thut at times they are easily disgusted with what they see. | Persons with large hands and feet | are regarded as powerful. They can grasp many things at once. They have | “‘good understanding.” They are likely to be brave. They easily find a place among the leaders. The short-legged man seems to be a fixture in his place in the world. | He tires easily, doesn’t go in for novel- | ties, should be a steady plodder in his work, is dependable. | | Persons with well-developed chins | are supposed to “have minds of their own.” They can “take a lot of punish- | ment,” laugh at the Andy Gumps, Any cartoon of Pranklin Delano Roose- velt is fashioned to appeal to & popular superstition. Now, are these merely superstitions? Or do the bodily traits betray certain half-hidden mental traits? Science has not yet given a final decision, but | is strongly inclined to suspect that | such considerations are merely super- | stitions.

The fox squirrel is iagy. He rises late and retires early. ‘When he finally makes up his mind it is time for breakfast, there is Dusi- ness in every movement, and from now on he is alert and happy. ‘When there were forests of pine and nut trees, the fox squirrels were at the height of their prosperity. Grad- ually their trees have been cut down to make way for roads, farms and cities, and even fox squirrels are ex- periencing depression. Their final stronghold is in the South, and here the great fellows are making the best of it. i ‘The color of his coat and not his degree of intelligence is responsible for his name.

The Old Gardener Says: ‘When considering climbing plants for decorative purposes, garden makers usually overlook the grape, and yet the grape is distinctly decorative, grows with amazing luxuriance and has sev- eral distinct advantages over any other vine. A grapevine planted about the entrance of & house or in some such Intimate situation becomes distinctly satisfactory, although it will require some care- ful attention in the matter of pruning each season. Grape vines can be trained with un- usual ease, which is one factor in their favor, and the leaves grow so thickly as to form a per- fect screen. The common grapes sre being referred to here, but there are ornamental forms and other ornamental vines closaly related to the grapes which are also useful and attractive. (Oopyright, 1936.)
