Love’s Awakening By Adele When Harry Underwood had gone from the room, obeying the tele. phoned call from the hotel office there settled upon the rest of us ope of those silences which are de- scribed as capaole of being felt. The remark flung back over his shoulder that “they think they have a nibble at the bait” brought home to the rest of them, I think as to me, the seriousness of the situation which confronted us. Hovering around this old fashioned hotel were birds of prey bent upon the life of Prince Georges and perhaps on Mary's as well. The plars for foil- ing them appeared to be flawless, but I knew the possibilities that something unforeseen might deliver their intended victims into their hands. ‘We spoke but little, indeed, while he was gone, and when he came back after a long interval our only words were tense queries as to what had happened. “They're flirting with the bait,” he said, “although they haven't taken it yet. You see, the hotel iz prepared for anything, and they have arranged a place for me so that I can see anyone who comes in to apply for & room. I have a pretty good line on those fellows, ani when one of them appears I am going to signal the room clerk to give him the vacant room next to the tiger trap. “The circus began just after we got in" he went on, after a pause. “A well-dressed young chap came in, asked for a room, registered, and—what the hotel people wer2 looking for at my suggestion—took an extra long time to write his| name. He evidently was checking | up on our party, the numbers of | our rooms, and so on. When he was taken to his room he said he didn’t | like it, tried to pick a quarrel with the room clerk, refused any other room and departed, having lerve:l‘( his mission. He'll never be asecn around here again.” | “You have us all registered un-| der our right names?” Princess| Olina asked with a gasp. | A Barn Door Trail “Not you and Prince Georges, Mr. Underwood returned with a gallant little bow. “You are regis- tered as Miss Lincoln and Mr. Jackson, which are no disguise at all to the mea hunting you.

WREN SOLVES THE MYSTERY By Thoruton W.

The first time she had succeeded In merely puliing off one long leég. The second time she pullled off two legs. She was remninded of it. however. | when Mr. Wren came bringing a | HMouse Centipede which he had oaught in the shed. “Did you ever ®0¢ anything with so many long | logs?” he asked. “Yes,” sald she. “That is exactly like that queer insect I tried to catch and told you about. Where 4id you get 1t?” “In the shed.” replied Mr. Wren. “Well,” saiq1 Jenny. “I don't think the children will like all those | “Then we'll pull them off,” plied Mr. Wren. | 80 they pulled off the long| legs, killed the Centipede and fed 1t | to one of the babies. “Listen!” | sald Jenny. “Do you remember that funny little squeak in the shed when we couldn’t find any insect: any- where around ?” | “Ot course T remember it,” re- plied Mr. Wren, who was sitting | with his head cocked to one side. “I hear it this instant.” 8o do 1" said Jenny. | re- | Both sat with their heads cocked | o to one side.

Just now she was | Rearing not one squeak often re. | peated, but many squeaks. “Look at those legs!" said Mr. Wren suddenly. “One might think they were alive the way they are kicking.” Jenny looked at the legs they had pulled from the House Centi- pede.

Then he hopped over to an- other and did the same thing There was a funny expression on his face as he looked up at Jenny | Wren. “My dear. said he, “here arc your squeaking insects.’ “What do you mean?" asked. “I mean that it is these legs that are making the squeaking thought was made by msects.” rlied Mr. Wreo. “Who ever Jenny we re- heard of such a it is true.” replied en to one of | Wren. “Ci legx youarsel! donny 4id.

But 1 Ku'w that the innate chivalry or wws man was intrigued by Olina's plight. “He's just another one coming in to spy out the land. The clerk sent for me because he asked for a bal- cony room high up. Now of course that's a most natural requess~ they're the charm of the old place —but still I want to see everyone who makes such a request. And the minute I lamped this foreign- looking chap I put him down as one of their lookouts. They are al- together too foxy to keep the real killer around here any longer than is necessary.” Spying on the Stranger- Olina shivered again, and 1 saw that Mary's face was colorless and strained. That Lillian swa what I did I realized when she spoke to her husband peremptorily: “That's enough creepiness for one day,” she said. “Are you leav- ing that fellow up there alone?” “As far as his room is concerned. yes. The house detective is behind a bureau in ours watching the bal cony to see what the new lad will do. I'm going up now and play sleuth myself. I have a peephole between the two rooms which even the house detec-a-tive doesn't know about. Oh, I'm some boy, I am! iie strolled out nonchalantly, hav- Ing himself loosened the tension his inadvertent reference to the Killer had caused. We were all laughing at him as he left us, but after a bit the Princess Olina put another question. “Isn't there danger for Mr. Un. derwood up there now alone?” she asked. s “Not a bit now,” Lillian answer- ed cheerily, and I wondered how much she was stretching the truth. She would have given the same an- swer, knew, if she had known that her husband faced the danger of death on his trip to the “tiger trap.” The telephone rang again and § answered it. “Special delivery for Mrs. Under- wood,” the operator intoned. 1 repeated the message to Lilllan. “Have them send it up,” she said, and when the letter had come she looked over at me after a hasty perusal and signaled me to come into her room, a signal that be- tween us meant that there was an urgent message for me.

Well, we can't stop and listen to these legs any longer; the babies are crying for food.” She spread her wings and off she went and Mr. Wren followed. Now that the mystery was solved, they no longer had any interest in it. And the myst:ry was solved, for the House Centipede does have legs that squeak after they are pulled | off. They do not squeak before, but afterward. They kick and and so draw the attention of a possible enemy away from thelr wner, who thus has a chance to escape.

It reprasented & slim brown maid- en rising from the chalice .: an opening flower. About .3 body budding vines twisted upward and from her head rose a circle of bright flame. The picture was childishly out of proporcion. The body was unsym- metrical and quite unanatomical. The arms were long. Yet with all its imperfections the picture suggested real beauty. Perhaps the reason was that the vision which the child had tried to put on paper was in a profound sense her own and sprang from the intuitions of her growing girlhood. Bhe had had the courage to express that inner vision and the courage to let it stand with all the imperfec- tions of execution. Only rarely do children thus truly do creative work. The fault is ours. The drive for a perfect result is the will-o’-the-wisp that his mis- led many a loving parent and many an otherwise inspiring teacher. We see a child at work and for the life of us we cannot hold our tongues or keep our hands off. We, who cannot possibly know what es- sences of beauty the child is striv- ing for, freely offer him advice and correction. Few of us could have borne the sight of that young artist painting uneven shoulders and a lopsided face. We would have shown her exactly where she was wrong and just how she could make it right. It does not :ake much of this sort of thing to make a child's inspira- tion take flight and leave in its place the unhappy effort to do ex- actly what we tell Rer.
