JIMMY RABBIT'S VISIT AT BEA- VER VILLAGE. There was an unusual stir in Bea- ver Village, over behind Blue Moun- tein, Brownie Beaver and his neigh- bors might have been seen swimming from house to house, stopping to say a few words to anybody they hap- pened to find at home. On the bank, beside the Beaver pond, sat a visitor, who was the cause of all this flurry. This person was no other than Jimmy Rabbit, who had appeared at the village and told Brownie Beaver that he intend- ed to sperid a few days there. Ot course everybody was delighted to hear the news. Soon the whole Beaver tribe, young and old, came flocking to Jimmy's side of the pond and made him welcome. Jimmy Rabbit was glad he had come to visit the villagers. That f{s, he was glad until old Grandaddy Beaver shouldered his way through the younger folk and began to talk to him, ‘“You're just in time to help us mend the dam,” Grandaddy told him. “And when that work is finished you can cut down some trees, for we're gathering box-alder tops for our win- % "For the land's sakel” be exclaimed, ter's food. Slp into your working clothes and I'll show you where you can begin to work."” Now, all this was a surprise for Jimmy Rabbit. He hadn't supposed that the Beaver tribe would expect a visitor to work. “J—1 -didn't clothes with me,” stammered. “You forgot 'em, eh?” said Gran- cdaddy Beaver. “Well, never mind! I'll lend you an old suit. It'll be too big; but that won't matter. . . Just step this way!” But Jimmy Rabbit still. “Er—pardon me!” he mumbled. “I —J~you'll have to excuse me,” he blurted. “I don't know how to mend a dam. And I've never cut down a tree in my. life.” “What's that you say?” asked Grandaddy Beaver, who was slightly deat. “You're a famous woodcutter? That's good.” And the old fellow nodded his head as if he were greatly pleased to have such a worth-while guest staying at the village. “No! No!" cried Jimmy Rabbit. “I can’t help you. I don’t know how to work in a Beaver village.” This time Grandaddy Beaver un- derstood him. And he gazed at the visitor in great surprise. ““Well! well!” he exclaimed. “Then we'll have to teach you.” But Jimmy Rabbit shook his head. “I'm having a vacation,” he ex- claimed. “I didn't come here to work.” ““Tut! tut!” said Grandaddy Beaver. And he went off a-tut-tutting at such a rate that Jimmy Rabbit could see that the old chap was actually pee- vish. At last Grandaddy back again and spoke again. “Everybody that stays in this vil- lage has to help,” he declared. b 1 you decline to work on the dam, or out down trees, you'll have to be a sentinel and stand guard for us. We're a-going to set to work on the dam right away. You must stand guard by the water's edge and |if there's the least sign of danger you must give us the warning signal.” “I'll do that,” Jimmy Rabbit agreed. “And now tell me—how shall 1 give the danger signal?” “Slap the water with your tafl!” said Grandaddy Beaver. Well, when he heard that, Jimmy Rabbit was more uncomfortable than ever. How could he slap the water with his tall, when his tall was no more than a mere pompom of fur? He saw Brownie Beaver hurry up to Grandaddy and whisper something in the old gentleman's ear. “I can't hear you,” ‘Beaver croaked. ‘‘Speak up So Brownie Beaver had to shout: “He has almost no tall at all!” Grandaddy turned and peered Jimmy Rabbit. “For the land’'s sake!” he ex- claimed. “What good is a tail like that?"” The rest of the villagers tried not to titter. But there was one of them that didn’t have very good luck. And Jimmy Rabbit sat down on his tail, 8o that nobody could stare at it. Well,” Grandaddy remarked pres- ently, "his ears are long enough, any- how. Why can't he slap the water with his ears?” Everybody looked at Jimmy Rab- bit and waited for his answer to that. “Er—really,” said Jimmy Rabbit, “I ought to go home and get my working clothes. Don't wait for me! 1 can't say when I'll be back.” He went away then, leaving the villagers to do their work and warn themselves of danger as best they could, without him. For Jimmy Rabbit didn’t intend to come back at all.

Connle had always loved ‘“old-fashioned things,” and now she realized how skilfully in- vention and modern design combined charm of the old with the convenience of the new—and housekeeping became | an exciting little game.

As the elevator stopped two flights below there entered a striking- ly efficient looking woman of the pure- ly business type. Her tailored clothes fitted as crisply as her mind obvious- ly worked. Her face was devoid of artifice, handsome, but so expressive of the business mood that it lacked a little in personal appeal. She seemed oblivious of every other passenger in the car. The Dales were haunted with a sense of having seen her before. They whispered a comment or two when | she left the car and Fred asked the doorman who she was. “Her? Don't you know?
