Love’s Awakening The Burt Story Smdlm Wo-n By Adele Garrison Phillp Veritzen Assumes Command #n Curiously Mixed Love Drama There was a curiously hesitant de- lay in the answers of the little group of young people to Philip Veritzen's query. 1 wondered if to each of them as to me had come the sense of something tense, purpose- ful, in the apparently casual ques- tion. I knew, of course, that he wished 1o tind out whether Mary had obey- ed his mandate ncither to sce nor to speak to Noel beyond require- ments of ordinary courtesy when in public. And I realized that Mary shared my knowledge when she spoke hastily. Dh! by chance, of course! Rugt it's my luck to draw George most of the time in our doubles.” “Good or bad?" young Mr. Jack- son asked, smiling, and Mary's re- equally flippant. vour choice,” she said, and then Noel, who had not spoken since his return from summoning Otto, struck in with a proposal whose studicd carelessness was be- lled by the look in his eyes. “Suppose we bezin today to tle the intern he said. “Mary will you me in defending our rights?"” 1 found my eyes on Mary's face turned them away again quickly from the misery which her eyes mirrored. And my heart was hot against Philip Veritzen at thg girl's low hesitant reply. “I'm afraid our national would trail in the dust, Noel, if you depended upon me to uphold it,” she said. “I'm an awful dub at ten- nis. Better just let us go along the way we have, Then neither you nor George has to put up with me all the time.” I was glad that Otto's knock and his employer's curt summons to come in, effectually prevented the emphatic disclaimers which both young men were beginning. 1 did not care to have Philip witness any more proofs of the de- set- ional championship?” Join with national hanor cided prefercnce of both young men | for Dicky's niece, With Pringess Olina playing the role of seccgd violin—I guessed for the first time in her pampered, sheltered young lite. “You have kept us waiting, Otto,” Mr. Veritzen said sternly, “I am very sorry, sir,” the man replied, “but I could not come into the house after changing a tire without—" Mr. Veritzen made an impatient gesture, “I have no time tions, nd 1 saw the man's face flush, wondered what necessity kept him from openly re- senting his employer's arrogance. #I want you to carry these things up to the little boy’s room, That is," turning to me with so marked a ditference in manner that I felt uncomfortable, “if you think we have not delayed so long as to make the visit unadvisable.” “Oh, no," 1 disclaimed “Indeed,” I added, with the lessening Otto’s discomfiture, *I don't think Bickett would have been rc for us before. But now, I am sure we can go up and how delighted Junior will be! Will you come this way, please I led the way up the s for expluna- quickly. hope of aircase, hearing as I went the chatter of the | young quartet as they departed for the tennia court, openly exultant of the scheme Mary had devised of Keeping an extra set of tennis shoes for each of them in a box upon the | veranda. Thus they were enabled to snatch a game at a moment's notice, especiully as they all wore sport clothing most of the time. Junior was sitting up in bed watching the door when we entered, and I saw his face fall as he real- ®ed that Mr. Veritzen held nothing #n his hands, “But, Mothe Tie began, forget- ting his training in his disappoint- ment, “I thought Aunt Katherin said—" Otte's epportune entrance eut short his protest, much to my re- Mef, and Junior gave an excited whoop. “Oh, Mume, look!" he said. ke Christmas and Easte birthdays all rolled into one. and Veritzen | SIS | Philip Veritzen Catches a Glimpse of Madge in Her Domestic Sphere Junior's whoop of pleasure at his presents brought so beaming & smile to Phili Veritzen's face that 1 decided to forego the apologe I had intended for the child's ill- mannered ignoring of the giver in his delight at the gifts. My small son, however, has his father's facility in effective contri- tion, and the first rush of his en- thusiasm over, he looked up at my | employer with a charmingly apolo- getic smile. “They're all 50 bully that I forgot |to say ‘thank you' for them.” he said. “Will it do, now?" “You don’t have to say it at all,” Mr. Veritzen assured him. *“I am more than repaid at seeing that you like them.” “You bet I like 'em,” Junior re- sponded promptly, “Aunt Katherin | may I huve a bite of every kind of | fruit there js?" The little nurse laughed, but her | voice held the note of authority which Junior has learned to obey without question. “Of course, but not all at once,” she said. “And for some of them, you must wait. But just now, you may take your choice of an orange, an apple or some grapes. | “Grapes'” Junior decided with capitals. *“I can have apples and oranges any old time, but grapes | are something else again.” Not apples and oranges lke | these, Junior, Katherine said as | she tock a cluster of grapes from the asket, while my horrified mur. mur of “Junior:” was loat in Mr. | Veritzen's laughter. | “That's the way T feel abeut }gmpns too, Junior,” he said, draw. ing a chair close to the bed and sit- ting down. “Now, while your grapes are prepared for you—they should be washed, you know,” he said over | niis shoulder to Katherine, and 1 saw little nurse bite her lips in the effort to suppress a laugh. With equally bromidic effect he migat have advised her to see that Junior washed his hands and brushed his teeth each day. “Until your grapes are ready,” he began again, “suppose we how some of these things work “Oh-h!" Junior sat up so excited. lv that Katherine, already at the door with the grapes, spoke quickly. “If you are not quiet, Junfor, ¥ shall have to send Mr. Veritzen {away, and the toys, too. “Oh! Ill be awful good,” my son promised in a panic, and obeying a xignaled nod from Katherine, I piled the pillows behind my little son so that, though he was in a sitting posture, his back wag fully supe ported by the cushions. 1 was moving away when Junlor caught at my hand. “Sit down here, Mother,” he coaxed, patting a place beside him on the bed, and T could not resiat his plea, though I felt decidedly un- comfortable because 1 was so close to Philip Veritzen's chair that we might as well have been sitting on the same sofa. From the parcels which Otto had pped and left on a table, Mr. Veritzen produced a most marvelous piece of mechanism, a model of a big ship, from the deck of which two small airplanes, manned with tiny manikins In aviation togs, regu. larly arose, circled the ship and re- turned again. It took close scrutiny to that the effect was produced by wires, almost invisible, yet so strong that they never failed in their task of supporting the tiny silver planes which seemed indeed to be hurtling through space. Under M. Veritzen's directions, 1 was steadying the large and com- plicated toy upon the bed-table used for our young invalid's meals, while he set in motien the mechan. ism controlling it.

Burgess Vho hesitates finds to his cost hat often he his chance has lost. —Whitetail the Marsh Hawk Whitetail was out of sorts. It had |been a bad day for Whitetail the Marsh Hawk. For the matter of that, it had been a bad day for a lot of folk. The nerves of all the | little people of the Green Meadow | were very jumpy. You sce, all day |tong there had been a dreadful Langing, like the noise of terrible guns. Of course, the furred folk and the feathered folk didn’t know any- [ thing about the Fourth of July. They didn’t know that all that bang- | ing meant nothing but noise. | To ve sure, that | confined mostly to the homes of | those two-legged creatures men. That had helped a little, Nev- ertheless, it had made everybody uneasy and it spoiled the appetites of most of them. So Whitetail the Marsh Hawk was quite out of sorts by the late afternoon, He had had little to eat and now he was begin- ning to realize that he was hungry, | S0 he had sailed back and forth | across the Green Meadows, looking | for Meadow Mice and haviwe no luck at all. And then, in the dis- tance he had scen something move, It was 'way over by the home of one of Johnny Chuck's children, not very far from the Old Pasture. Like all members of his family, Whitet has wonderful cyes “I wonder if there can be some baby Chucks over the thought he. *I guess I'll go over there and have a look.” tion. a Chuck sitting on the doorstep of his homte, but he was too big a Chuck for Whitetail to consider try- |ing to cateh. That Chuck could fight. Yes, sir, that Chuck could fight. But Whitetail kept right on in | tmat direction, for he hoped there might be some little Chucks around. Then he saw something whit bounding along through the grass, Whitetail blinked three times. He would have liked to rub his eyes it he could, but, of course, he couldn’t do that. he muttered, “a half-grown rabbit. But it can’t be. Whoever |heard of a white Rabbit running around on fhe Green Mcadows? Pe- ter Rabbit’s children are all brown. But that certainly looks like a white rabbit.” Whitetail swung up a little higher in the sky, so that he could look | right down for a better view. “As 1 live, it is!” he muttered. “It is a young Rabbit and he certainly is all white. Now, who ever heard of such {a thing?" Whitetall was so interested in his diacovery that he had quite forgot- {ten he was out hunting. By the time he did remember it, that young Rabbit was almost to the edge of the Old Pasture. “White or not, he ought to be £00d eating,” muttered Whitetail, and shot forward. Now, Whitey, the young Rabbjt, had discovered Whitetail the Marsh Hawk. He had seen Whitetail skim- ming over the Green Meadows around the dear Old Briar.patch, and his mother had warned him that this was one of the great birds to be afraid of. S0 now Whitey was making those legs of his go just as fast us he knew how. Lip- perty-lipperty-lip, lipperty-lipperty- 1ip, he ran, and his eyes were rolled back and up to watch Whitetail. He |saw Whitetall suddenly shoot for- ward. He saw those great claws of Whitetall. They seemed to be reach- young why he did it, Whitey dodged, as only a Rabbit can. Whitetall fust missed him. Whitetail checked him- self with those great wings of his and turned with surprising quick- ness. But he was not quick enough, Whitey had just dived under the fence into a bramble-tangle in the Old Pasture. There, panting for breath, he gazed up into the fierce, hungry eyes of Whitetail the Marsh Hawk, 1l get you mext time” eald noise had been | called | | | Whitetail, i 8o Whitetail turned in that direc- | He saw at once that there was | | Ing for him. Without knowing just | That looks like & young rabbit,” he muttered ’ and flew away. “You'll never get the chance," muttered Whitey the young Rabbit, Whitey, the runaway Rabbit, wha had reached the bramble-tangle on the edge of the Old Pasture just in time to escape the reaching claws of Whitetail the Marsh Hawk, wag not so sure as he had been that the Great World was the place for him. Already he had had two frights and orle very narrow escape. How thank- ful he was for that bramble-tangle. He crept to the very middle of it and there he sat and shivered as he thought of what might have hap- pened to him. He was afraid to leave the bramble-tangle. Jolly, round, red Mr. Sun went to bed behind the Purple Hills and the Black Shadows came creeping out across the Old Pasture and across the Green Meadows. Many times had Whitey sat just within the cdge of the dear Old Briar-patch beside his mother and watched those Black Shadows come creeping behind the Purple Hills. Theg they had eeemed friendly., But they were very ditferent now. Whitey shivered. It grew darker and darker. The | voice of Hooty the Owl came ringing across the Old Pasture. Whitey had heard it before, but never had it sounded as it did now. Every time he heard that terrible voice he felt as If he would jump out of his skin, “That looks like a young Rabbit,” | By and by he heard the rustle of leaves. He held his breath. Some one was coming, but who could #t be? He heard the patter of feet just outside the bpumble-tangle. Whitey crouched back and his pink eyer were wide wtih fear. And then that wobbly little nose of his caught a familiar scent. It was the Rabbit scent. It was one of his brothers. You know, his brothers and sisters had left the dear Old Briar-pateh some time before Whitey had. “Oh!” exclaimed Whitey. - “Its |you, is it?” And there was relief and joy in his voice. “Oh!" exclaimed his brother. vou, is it?” and in his veice war disgust. “Yes, “it's me. “How long have you been here?* asked his brother. “Just a little while,” replie¢ Whitey. “I left the dear Ol4 Briar. patch this afternoon, and 1 had twe dreadful adventures on the waj here.” “Pooh!” said his brother. are you going to do now?” “I don’t know,” replied Whitey “I might come along with yeu. : suppose you know all about it uy kere In the Ol4 Pasture.” ‘I know enough to know that yor replied Whitey meeKkiy “Wha P jare not coming with me,” repliet his brother bluntly. “Why not?" ssked Whitey. “Because,” replied his brother, “f - is hard enough to keep a whole skir ae it is. 1 certainly don't want tha: white coat of yours along. You'l have to look our for yourself. Ipon* expect me to help. If you'll take g1y advice, you'll change your coat.” With this, Whitey’s brother turn. ed and away he went. Poor Whitey! He would have given anything te change that coat, but of course he couldn’t change it. At lesst, he thought he couldn’t. (Copyright, 1928, by T. W. Bumyess) The next story: “Whitey Gets an 1dea.”
