And then Margaret could -stay at home, where she belongs, with Richard Second.” “Danzie !” Am imperative little voice floated through the door. Junmior, secure in the knowledge that his grandmother is his abject slave, calls her to him whenever he hears her voice. I had hard work to subdue a delighted chuckle at my mother-in-law’s face.

There are a number of real gen- iuses /in the company and they will by impersonation bring before the New Britain theatergoers the most famous stars working on Broadway.

There will be a special matinee for the children on Wednesday and the admission will be 11 cents. Also there will be an opportunity for them to meet these great stars on the stage. Also on the same program the management has secured other vaudeville acts such as The Ziras in a comedy jhgsling va- riety act; Jack McGowan, the musical monologuist, and McNally and Aston in a singing and dancing novelty act.

Craig, however, not only felt in honor bound to get tha jail bird behind the walls again, but had given his word to Joan Gracic, who lovéd him and believed in him in spite ot his conviction on a mur- der charge that he would do so./Craig gave Harry his choice-of returning to prison or being lynched by the mob.

The next outing that Farmer Green gave Mrs. Pig’s family in the little vard proved to be anything but a picnic—for Mrs. Pig. That poor lady had a dreadful timeé. Grunty ran away again. And he hadn’t been gone long before his mother heard a Mrs. Pig bowled him right over, to show him that she meant what she said loud squealing in the nearest field. The sound rapidly grew louder. And as she stood still and listened, Mrs. Pig knew that it was Grunty's squeal and that he was drawing nearer every moment. “Dear me!"” be in trouble. Roon Grunty tumbled through the fence. And scrambling to his feet he ran to his mother, crying at the top of his voice, “A bear chased me!” “Oh! Oh!” shrieked Mrs. Pig. “It's she cried. ‘He must a mercy he didn't catch you. Oh! Oh! it's lucky you're no fatter, else you couldn’t have run so fast.” Being more than fat, herself, and greatly excited, Mrs. Pig had to stop talking for a time, because she gurgled and wheezed and panted in a most alarm- ing fashion. At last, when she had somewhat recovered from her flurry, she calied to Crunty. And looking at him 'se- verely Mrs. Pig said to him, “Let this . be a lesson to you. Never, . nevt stray away from the farmyard again “Yes, Mother!” was Grunty’s glib reply. Then he sidled away. Some- how he felt uneasy under his moth- er's gaze. “Perhaps it was a good thing, after all, that the bear chased him,” Mrs. Piz muttered. ‘“‘Maybe this fright will keep him at home.” She soon discovered that it would take more than a mere fright, more than a command—to stop Grunty from running away. For it wasn't long before she missed him again. If Mrs. Pig hadn’'t been so upset she might have been vexed—and with good reason. N ) “Oh! that dear little Grunty!"” she waile@. “The bear may have caught him already, in the cabbage patch.” Then piercing squeals fell once more on Mrs. Pig's ears. #“Dear!" Dear,” she cried. “I ought to have watched him. I ought to have képt an eye on Grunty. After all, he’s little more than a baby.” Again the squeals grew louder. Again Grunty Pig burst through the hole in the femce and romped up to his mother. “He chased me another time!" he grunted. “The bear chased me al- most as far as the fence.” Sakes alive!” his mother shriekgd. “Somebody ought to tell .Farrffer Green! This farm is not a safe place to live, with a bear prowling about 1t “Do you want me to go and Mr. Green?” Grunty inquired. You?” his mcther exclaimed. “No, indeed! You stay right here with me! Don’t you dare stir out of this yard!” And to Grunty’s astonishment Mrs. Pig howled him right over, to show him that she meant what she said. He jumped to his feet in a jiffy. And he was all ready to slink away into a corner of the vard; but his mother bade him wait. “This bear—'" she sald—“What did he look like?” tell (Copyright 1921 by The Metropolitan Newspaper Service.)
