ATR THE STORY S0 FAR: May Seymour, whose husband kifled himself becauss of her love affair with another man, returns to her home town after a year's ab- sance. F£he sells her property, and with her tiny fortune in cash, sets out to find and marry a man with money. At Atlantie City she meets Her. bert Waterbury and Dan Sprague, through a divorces, Mrs, Carlot! Frolking. Both men pay suit to May, greatly to the distress ot Car- lotta, who has long been in love with Dan. She and May become great friends, however, and Carlotta | invites May to spend the winter |with her in Calitornia. | May finds Dan most attractiv l‘tu' she sets her cap for Water- | having made up her mind that he is the rich hugband she is look- ing for. Finally he proposes and May accepts him. She gives him all i her money to invest for her. And e promptly disappears! Penniless, May sells her rings and her fur coat to buy a railroad ticket for Los Altos, California, where Carlotta lives. On the way there she stops off in her home town, to visit her friends, Dick and Gloria Gregory. While there she meets Ulysses Forgan, a wealthy dower, who falls in love with her, When he proposes, May, who had made up her mind to accept him, refuses him. But at the che admits friend | earth On the train going Altos ghe meets Dan Sprague. tells her how much he thinks of her; but May s sure he is only a toward doesn’t tell him about the loss of her money, and she is amused by his flirtation with Goldie Gay, a movie actress. Across the aisle from May sits a man who watches her every move. Goldie eays this man is Lemuel Fishback, a millionaire marry him, was to his movie producer. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY The train came puffing into the station at San Jose and May stepped out on the platform. Be- hind her tripped Goldie Gay swing- | ing her short purple skirte; and| after her followed Dan. May wondered 1dly what had be-| come of Lemuel Fishback as she stood beside her luggage and look- | ed about her at the hurrying, eolor- tul crowd Then suddenly she saw him com- ing toward her, smiling broadly as he came “There’s béen an accident up the line, and we won't get away for an hour That is, if you're going north. You are, arem’'t you?” he asked In an ordinary tone, as if he had known May for years. His friendliness was disarming. May nodded, and smiled wearlly. “To Los Altes,” she sald She was dreadfully tired after her Her eyes felt as it there were sand under the lids. She longed for the quiet of Carlotta’s bungalow, a bath and 2 nap. “Wonder what's become of Dan?” thought and looked around for . He was nowhere in sight and ther was Goldle Gay “We may as well go and eit down Fishback sald hesl- tatingly.

May gave a startled ) “You ought to know, Mr. Lemuel Fish- back!” she answered, arching her eyebrows at him, “maker of movie queens!” A puzzled frown darkened his broad, colorless face with its over. hanging eyebrows and bulbous nose.

May could see tHat he was enormously pleased “Is it #0 well-known I am, then, that people recognize me on the train?” he chuckled. "Like one of my own movie stars, 1 guess, yes” Well, well Here, boy!" He signaled a red-cap with a wave of | his sausage-like fingers, i When he had checked his bags| and May's, he took her by t arm | and steered her down the sunshiny street to a chill sparlor a block or| two ‘from the station. May noticed that he limped as he walked. Over the ollcloth-covered tahle he | smiled at her with his bulging black eves, and tapped the thick white bowl of steaming chill his spoon “Think!” he began, his mouth full of food, “at home I have a butler and fingerbowls when I eat! Flowers on the table, candles; everything just so.

There's a high- stepper!” He wagged a finger at May and went on: “I sald to myself, “There's my duchess!” “Your duchess!” May startled. Fishback nodded emphatically. “I'm doing an historical moévie up in the hills behind Los Altés," | he explained between great mouth- fuls of chill, “and there's a Spanish duchess In it.

May walked through two coaches hefore she found a seat. She pitched her bags into the rack and sank down, thankfully, into the dusty seat The train gave a ferk, and start. ed. As it rolled slowly out of the station, May saw a large black limougine swing up to the platform, and Lemuel Fishback climb”inte it. “Nice old boy, even if he is a bit vulgar,” she thought. “But who would ever have thought that T'd meet him, and that he'd give me a job in his blooming pletures? . 1 must go and break the news to Dan and Goldle Gav.

Peter Rabbit couldn't get over| and Mr. Wren. You know, Peter| had seen Mr. Wren destroy the eggs | of Tommy Tit and Mrs. Chickadee | while they were away from home. The first chance he had he told Jenny Wren what he had seen and how very dreadful he thought it was, “T just wouldn't believe it when T heard that you and Mr. Wren had done such things” said Peter. I wouldn't believe it until I saw it done with my own eves Tt is one of the most dreadful things T ever heard of.” “Tut, tut, tut, Peter. It {sn't dreadful at all,” retorted Jenny. “We have just presented those other folks from having a lot of bables right around us. All they had to do was to go build a nest somewhere else and lay some more eggs. There's nothing dreadful about that.” “I guess you would think it was dreadful if some one destroyed all your eggs’ declared Peter, “I would just I to see t trv it!" snapped Jenny. “I thought £0,” chuckled Pater. “Some one ought to try {t so tiat you might know how it feels. But I don't see yet what you and Mr. Wren have dons this thing for." “Room, Peter, room. If you're going to bring up a family you must have the proper amount of room to | bring that family up right. Suppos- ing three or four pairs of rabbits| moved into the dear old Briarpatch, what would you do about it?” said Jenny - “Drive them out," replied Peter. “There isn't food enough for half a | dozen families right around the old | Briarpatch, Baby Rabbits can't go| far to get their living. They have | got to be able to eat right close to| the old Briarpatch where they will| be safe. But you birds can fly around | anywhere you please and bring food to your babies.” “Tut, tut, tut,” scolded Jenny Wren. “Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut. That's easy to say but T would llke you to | know that our bables have to be m | s near home as we.can | place, it is fed very often and we can't fly any great distance, We must get it just Now if 2 lot of birds are hunting in the same going to make food scarce. The smallest ones are going to be driven:away. They are going to have to go farther to get food for their bables. “Now, Mr. Wren and I are too small to fight very successfully with some of the feathered: folk around here. But if we can keep them nest- ing—that ig, i we keep them from raising families, they are not going to stay. So that is why we have sometimes destroyed their eggs, I suppose you think we have done it “Tut, tut, tut, Peter, it {sn't dread- ful at all,” retorted Jenny out of pure meanness. It isn't 86 at all. we have done it just to make sure that when our own babies come along we will be able to take care of them properly. After that we don't cars how many neighbors we have or how near they may be." “Do all House Wrens breaks the eggs of their feathered neighbors?" | inquired Peter. “I don't know,” replisd Jenny. “It ie no business of mine what other Wrens may do. T don't suppoge all Wrens do do it, but I know soms who do. If people don'tlike it, they can just keep away. That is all Mr, Wren and 1 ask of them, just to keep away. e may be smali, but we certainly are not golng to be im- posed upon. No, sir, we are not go- ing to be imposed on.” Jenny ‘flirted | her head gnd her tall and leoked the very. part, small person she is Peter couldn't find anything to say in reply. Jenny Wren had de- fended herself and Mr. Wren and it | was plain to see that she bslieved that she was right. It also was equally plain to see that it would |not be at all safe for any emall feathered folk of a gentle trusting nature to attempt to raise a family in Jenny Wren's neighborhoed. Y suppese,” thought Peter to himselt, that she and Mr. Wren are the kind of folks who like to be by themselves. I know there are folks like that, but I didn’t suspect Jenny Wren of it, because she is such a gossip. Dear me, what a pity it is that neighbors can't get aleng with- ocut squabbling.” With this Peter took himself eff to tell little Mrs. Peter all gbout it. (Copyright 1925, by T. W. Burgess).
