I just happen to like to do tbosa things that's all there Is bbout it" i They were now n considerable dis tance from the house. "Tou can't ex plain It nwajr you can't mnlc your tffllf commonplace you're simply won jderful!" Ho halted, and laid a hand Upon tho hand routine on his arm. "I think you are simply wonderful 1" -,"And do you know what I think about you? ' sho asked in a grave voice. "What?" "I think tou are hoidinc mi hand." Ho started at this directness, then laughed softly. "Why, I rather thought that same thine myself." "Docs that mean that you arc about 10 oroposo to mo?" W6 . Again ho started. "Why?" i I just learned that you were en gaged to Gloria. I wondered if two engagements u day was your regular allowance. Tho moonlight showed him n mis chievous elenm in her face. "You look ncniuro, but I always said there was a iittlo devil in you, no exclaimed in a wry nut pleased tone "a sharp lit . tie devil a nice rlevcr littlp devil." "Tho little devil niks me to thank yon. But before von co ahead and really proposo to me, I want to con grntulato you about Gloria. I hope you will both bo very happy." "And I hope that you and Gloria arc going to bo very good friends." "I'm willing to bo friends with Gloria, Hut it all depends upon Gloria. And whether Gloria wants to bo real friends, that rather depends upon whether you make it known to Gloria that you'd like things that way." "Oh, I'll make that clear to Gloria. Tou'ro Sue's best friend we should all be good friends and you know I like you n lot." "There'll not bo much chanco of our ever being friends if we stay out here any longer on the first day of Gloria's engagement." Sho gently freed her hartd. "I think we'd better go in." Inside, Kenneth advanced to Gloria. ".Tennio was just congratulating us," he sedd. "I told her that I hoped that you and she all of us in fact were always going to bo tho best of friends." Jennie v seemed frank -cjed, modest, waiting for Gloria to make tho advance. With n control that was attained wfth difficulty Gloria replied : '"I'm sure wo shall be." , But later, nlone on' the stairway as they went to bed, sho glowered furiously at Jennie. Jennio inquired in a taunting whis per I J. "Did you order Mrs. Harrison to in vito me to leave?" Choking, Gloria hurried by her with out an answer. Tho following evening there was a similar procedure. Never beforo bad Jennie consciously tried to win the at tention of a man. and the noelty of the experience added piquancy to the more 6erious purposes which were involved in hor plan. And it seemed to her that she was partially succeeding : it seemed that Kenneth was admiring her more and more. ' And then a new clement entered this affair. Sho was glad when Kenneth ' came home at the end of tho duy, she gladdened, at tho touch of his hand, bho.was trembling happy when swing ing in-his arms lu the dance. Sho awoke Middenly to this uncalculalcd interest, and a question asked itself shuiply of her: was this relationship, which she had plunged into almost as a matter of cold-blooded business, was this inti macy begetting u result she had never di earned of? was sho beginning really to care? Sho did not let herself an swer; she put tho question from her. Nevertheless, this change iu her, whatever its nature or degree, intensi fied and justified her intention. Ken neth was, indeed, altogether too fine: any course wus righteous that would sai .him. After a few days Jennie percohed that tho course she bad been following could not, unaided by other plans, quickly end matters between an en gaged couple when the girl had so many substantial worldly attributes us Gloria. There must be nn additions plan. She began to consider, and her mind fixed upon one remark Sue had made against Gloria. In this remark her rapidly working mind Saw the germ of an idea. Tho idea grew it had the potentialities of a big plan, an effective plan, if the could only put it into execution. On the following Suuday Slim Jack son came out to stay over until Monday. Tha appearance of Slim upon tho scene suggested a new tnougnc wmru uu,eu in,, .with her" growing plan; and she fjo wapeqvered that she 'got Slim alone out tipori the end of tho stone, pier. "What's tho bis Idea, Jeu?" he asked. ;, "Of course yon1 know about Kenneth and-Gloria Hayniond?" "Sure." Kenneth told mo the news ns a' dead secret tho other day. What's the matter?" "JJis mother doesn't llko the engage- DREAMLAND ADVENTURES ' Br DADDX "THE CHRISTMAS TREASURE" tn Uit loeeVs $tarv, Peggy, Billy ''and Judge OtaJ, made tiny' by going through a megaphone, tell into a rabbit nest.

JOHNNI RABBIT, Bunny Babbit and Pinky Rabbit stood in a Hue be fore Peggy, Blly and Judge Owl nnd began to recite as if speaking a piece iu school. This is what they said : ''Wo know where treasure is buried deep, Down whero the roots of tho flowers sleep ; Silver and gold, pled up in a heap. All shall be yours to liao and to keep." Teggy apd Billy looked nt each other in. delight. This was to bo their re ward for saving tli'o rabbits from Johnny Bull and Rover, the hound. "Whero is tho silver and gold?" asked Blllv. 'In the bank of tho Underground City," answered Johnny Rabbit. ''Jump on our backs ana wo win tune you there." Avvay they sped hoppity-hop over the moonlit snow until thev camo to a patch of cabbage stumps. Hero they paused at the entrance of a hole. "Is this the way to tho hidden treas ure of silver and gold?" usked Billy. The rnbblts shrieked. "No: this is tho way to our own bidden treasure of cabbages and carrots," replied Pinkey Rabbit. "This Is our secret hole into the cellar or toe i'atcny-patcn lamiiy, Would you Ilka a nibble?" "No, thank you," promptly answered Peggy. "It's wrong to take what doesn't belong U) you." "Well, we don't belong to the Patchy -patch family, yet they try to take us by shooting us or trapping us. Why shouldn't we get even by taking (KejwbbfMr',"! ?oanny Rab 'Bunny lUkMt Ugd ifeir tlk wltk a ment, nor docs his sister. So I'm try ing to break it off." "For their saKes?" demanded Slim keenly. "lVs and for rav own." Almost un consciously sho dropped into the in formal phraseology or tne tiajs wnen she and Slim had bad tho Pcklu as their habitat. "Gloria and I don't loo each other, and I'd like to jar her on ner pedestal." . , , "You're a selfish, calculating, pretty little animal, but the idea is strictly all right. Why not step in nnd win him away from her? I've been watch ing mn nnd Kenneth. It's ns plain as four aces that he already cares a lot fnr vntl." "I've been trying that; it's too slow and uncertain. I've thought of a way that will be quick and sure-fire, if it can only be put across. And it's some thiug jou might help me in it you waut to." "You've got me sitting on the edge of my orchestra cliatr ana noiuing ray breath. What happens next?" "They say Gloria has liked an awful lot of men she's been engaged four times that I .know of and her being en gaged to one man doesn't prevent her liking several others at the same time. That may not bo the case at the present moment, but, anyhow, that's the kind Gloria Is. She's crazy about men always plural." "I get jou so far. Where do I fit in?" "Hiri.'n mv iAfn If she's doing now tvliiit nho'M iiinp he.fnrn. then while she's engaged to Kenneth, she's nlt.o privately flirting with some other man. uui telling Kenneth this will have no effect; he s got to see things with nis own eyes. It 1 could lind out who tnc oiucr man is, and if affairs could bo so handled that Kenueth could be brought in upon a sccno of surreptitious love making that would smash things right then nnd there. Now, you know n lot about the smart and gay Iifo of New York and ou know its gossip; you either know, or can find out, who this second man is If there is such a man. And you can find out where and how they meet. That's whero you fit in." He regarded her steadily for a long space. His narrow gray eyes were just now expressionless bciond showing keen thought. When ho finally did speak, he nasscd over all sho had said. ''Have ou thought any moic about the proposition I made sou on the Astor roof about our teaming un?" "That's never going to happen, Slim neer." she answered impatiently. Ho lifted his shoulders philosophi cally. "I guess it's up to me to keep on waiting, Jennies and I'm a good waiter," "But will jou help me?" sho dc mantled. Agalu he regarded her thoughtfully for a long space; and though he tried to control his expression, ho could not mask tho air of one who is swiftly look ing far, far ahead, and balancing pos sibility against possibility. "Sorry, Jennie wish I could," he at length said. "But there's nothing I can do absolutely nothing. And there's no use talking about it." Jennio was quite taken aback and was bitterly disappointed by this un expected refusal. But disconcerted though she was, she caught the glint of a smile which sud denly broke through the sober regret of Sllm's face. For some reason that smile awoke in her a aguc suspicion, but not until long, long after was she to learn all which lHy behind that brief smile on tho pale, keen face of Slim Jarksou. How a Plan Worked Out JIjNNIK went quietly about, watch ful, thinking, planning and plan ning all tho harder because Slim Jack sou, on whom she had counted for aid. or at least for information, had just declared himself unable to give her cither. But us the day passed her de sign, effective thouih it had seemed nn first tpntemplating it, began to seem ircmcnaousiy nimquit, even unwork able, because of her inability to got a concrete starting point. And then cir cumstances very promptly camo to her aid, or appeared to, and simplified and quickened what she bad thought would be nt the best both slow and compli cated. That evening while all were dancing a number of vaung people had mo toied over to Silter Bluffs to join in this, a few to stay over the night Jennie caught n covert but significant glance pass between Gloria and Slim when the two'secmed to believe, no tycs were upon them. That look fairly stag gered Jennie. Was it possible what sho had not even thought of before that Slim himself was one of the men with whom Gloria had flirted us far as a mere flirtation dared go? It was indeed possible! She recalled how admired, how sought after Slim was by the young wonlen of the smarter nnd more daring social set. And she recalled Sllm's unwillingness to help her against Gloria. Here was full ex planation of that unwillingness. (CONTINUED TOMORROW) a.?"icU .Mush I" Sho pointed to a cottage which up to this moment Peggy and Billy had not notked. At the 'win dow were u. boy uud girl looking out. their thin faces pressed rloso to tho giabs. It took but a glance to sco that they were -very, ery poor. "They are Harry nnd Minnie Patchy, patch, whispered Bunny. "See the putched clothes they w ear. That is why we call them Patchy. patch." But Peggy and Billy wcro listening to tho words of the little girl. B "Do you think Santa Glaus will come to our koubc" sho asked her brother. "Well, if he doesn't come this year mnjbo he will next year," he answered bravely, putting his arm around her "lou know the rabbits have eaten so many of our cabbages that we are cry cry poor, uud sometimes Santa Clous cannot lind the iittlo homes of the cn erypoor," "Humph! Of course we've eaten your cabbages, and we will cat mora next ycar.urtaube we wm no bigger then," said Johnny Rabbit saucily. And he sut up to mako faces at the children in the window. "Oh, see tho rabbits. They are mnk. ing faces at us," exclaimed Minnie i'uicny-paicn. "Tho rascals. I'll bet they've been at our cabbages again," cried Harry Patchy-patch. "I'll go hunting for them tomorrow and nerhnnM wn ulll havo fried rabbit for Christmas dinner ana jou win nave a new rabbit-fur muff." "Come away. Quick 1" cxclaimc Johnny Rabbit. "You see now why we cat their cabbages." But whilo they hpeu towaru mo unacrgrouna Ulty Keggy's thoughts were on the two wist ful Patchy-patch children who were looking so vainly for Santa Claus. "If we get that treasure, tho first thing I'll do will be to play Santa Claus to them," she. said to herself. Just then the rabbits dived Into a big bole nnd for a moment all wbjj dark (Tdmarrw will ta tU A ate tyey pna is trtamr. y k' THE GUMPS How Do ( Do Woo UKt NvArAA'S fANb OUST THINK!
