So T just had to come to you." “I'm so glad you did,” I said henrt. fly. "But don't you think:you'd het. ter rest a bit before you tell me an thing? Here—T'll just throw some plllows on this couch, and put you down on it while 1 get some lunch- eon." Madge Comforts Mrs, Durkee “I couldn’t eat a morsel,” she quav- ered, but I put the pillows in place without answering, glad of the short stature of my little frlend which fwould enable her to rest as com- fortably on the masquerading bed- couch as would a child. Then I drew her to her feet, not- ing uneasily that she again wineced as| I touched her, and heiped her to the couch where I nestled her among the pillows, covered her warmly and then stooped and kissed her wan lit- tle face. “Now stop worrying about every- thing,” I commanded. “Just remen ber I'm distinctly ‘on the job," as Lilllan wounld eay, and I'm going to gee you through, no matter what the trouble is.

That my qieer neighbors, Mr, and Mrs. Marks, thought me still in the front part of the house, I realized, noiselessly into my kitchen, for I heard on the other side of the wall the raucous volce of Petey Marks. “Now you remember to keep your trap shut till 1 find out where those birds in the front comse from." 50 appear e - E TALES ATademare Wuqintemd) MORE_TALES CUFFY BEAR BYARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY |, s AUNT SALLY BEAR AT HOME. “We're almost at Aunt Sally's den now,” Mr, Bear told Cuffy at last, “It's Just over this ridge.” A few minutes later Mr. Bear peep- ed around a tree. “There she {s!” he exclaimed. he's sunning herself in her front yard While he spoke a great, fat dame rose before Mr. Bear and his son and growled at them horribly. “Don’t you know me, Aunt Sally?"” called Mr, Bear. “I'm your nephew, Ephraim.” Aunt Sally stared at him for a few as I stepped | | [ here?" he exclaimed NEW RRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, MAY 7, e ¥ y.
