BY THORNTON :. lUmlG’ ESS. You'll often find he best will fare re. W1 e e g TR LACKY THE CROW loves to make trouble for others. There is nothing in all the Great World that Blacky en- joys more than pisguing some one and making him uncomfortable. Blacky was doing it now. He was cawing at the top of his lungs as he flew just above Unc’ Billy Possum. Blacky knew: that others hearing him would be very likely to come over to see what was the cause of all the excite- ment. Unc’ Billy knew it, too, and so Une’ Billy was hurrying just as fast as his comparatively short legs could take him. If he could just reach the Green Forest he would be all right. ‘What he feared most was that Bow- ser the Hound or Flip the Terrier, or both, might catch him before he got there. Now it happened that Flip the Ter- rier had wandered around back of the barn. He heard the racket that Blacky the Crow was making and he looked over in that direction. He had long ago learned that when Blacky the Crow cawed in that manner there usually was something worth investi- gating. He could see Blacky darting down toward the ground and then rising again, and all the time he was cawing in the most excited manner. “There is some one down there in the grass,” thought Flip, “and that Crow is just following him. I be- lieve I'll run down there and see who it is. It's & long time since I've had any excitement.” So PFlip the Terrier started down across the Green Meadows as fast as he could run, and, you know, Flip can run fast. Every little way he made an extra high jump in order to see better. Presently he made out some one running just beneath Blacky. As for Blacky, of course, he saw Flip coming and cawed louder and faster that ever. This promised to be exciting. Poor Unc’ Billyl He had a feeling that some one was com- ing, but he couldn't see. The grass was just a little too long for him to see. But he didn’t have to wait long to find out who was coming. Flip caught the excitement and began to bark. He just can’t help barking when he is excited. - When Unc' Billy heard the first bark his heart sank. Yes, sir, Unc’ Billy's heart sank. His worst fear was real- ized. What to do now? He couldn’t run any faster. No, sir, he couldn't MilPs Gut Rate Market 1744 U Street “Washington Flour enjoys by far the biggest demond from my customers—which tells me plainly that it must be @ quality product, for you don’t fool the women folks often.

Unc’ Billy did it. He collapsed. That is to say, he tumbled over as if all the life had gone out of him. He was trying his old trick, the trick for which he is famous. He was pretending that he was dead. He has become s0 famous for that trick, has Unc' Billy, that when other people try it they are said to be “playing possum.” Tp came Flip the Terrier and stopped abruptly. He looked surprised. Yes, Flip looked surprised. He much surprised. He had ex- pected to find some one running, or at least facing him, ready to fight. Instead, here lay this fellow on his side, without a sign of life. Filip danced around Unc’ Billy and barked and barked and barked. Unc' Billy didn’t move. That barking was all in vain. Finally Flip came close and stood looking down at Unc’ Billy. He sniffed at Unc' Billy. He sniffed at Unc’ Billy's head. That was hard to stand. But Unc’ Billy didn't move an eyelash. He didn't twitch a whisker. Flip poked at him with one paw. He even took hold of him and shook him a little. Then he stood off and looked at Unc’ Billy. Meanwhile Blacky the Crow was circling about and cawing until you might have thought that he would lose his voice. Other Crows were has- tening over from the Green Forest. They wanted to know what was going on. And all the time poor Unc’ Billy lay -there motionless and helpless, (Copyright, 1936,) William A. Reid to Speak. William A.

Furnishing Small, Dark Apartment Light Colored Walls and Drapery Create Brightness. BY EMILY POST. EAR MRS, POST: I have leased & very well laid out, but dark apartment, and before buying furni- ture would like 40 know what you honestly think of maple. My feeling 1s that it would brighten up especially dark corners. What color draperies and cushions would you suggest? Answer—Colors with much yellow in them are most becoming to maple, though, of course, very much depends upon the color of your maple! More- over, remember that it is not the wooden frame of your furniture that creates lightness in & room, so much as your walls and covers. L D!AE MRS. POST: In building our house our contractor tells us a rod on which to hang coats in the ves- tibule is entirely out of place and that we snould have hall hooks instead. The coats are to be hung inside an arched recess. He says a rod is cor- rect only inside a closed closet and not in an open place as a vestibule. Is he correct? Answer—if the hooks are them- selves ornamental they might look “Sweeten it with Domino’ Refined in U.
