INCHES FROM

f' f? III wink was leer.
Smith disliked him hut kept still,
lie-came home one evening.
Excavators had dug up te his hedge.
He hunted up the builder.
''Loek nt your deed !" he said.
"This Is restricted prepert.
lUile Is twenty feet between houses.
Teu must build farther from me."
The fellow blustered and swore.
"I'll build where I please 1
It's my property I I'm my boss 1
Ne restrictions can held me I"
WBut how'd you like it?
Suppose I did that te you?
Ever hear of the Gelden Rule?"
nS.
A Question of Liberty
The builder haw-hawed.
"That's n geed unl He! he!
Gelden Utile's 'Nethin' but geldl'
That's mine! It's n free country."
Smith queted: "My liberty end.
Line U wheie n brother's beglnx."
"Well, I nlu't ever your line.
Mind j or own business!"
Se Smith minded his own business.
Ile let Mr. Itullder build uliead.
What he did was pknty, tee.
Hoef overhang was four feet wide.
It extended ever Smith's line.
Italn dripped from It en his garden.
Heuse sold nt an exorbitant price.
Then Smith sued for 5000 damages.
Sale was held up pending suit.
Smith told the story in court.
The judge decided in his favor.
(Save the usual cut en damage num.
lie gave the builder further orders.
He was te moo his house!
llestrlctlnns were lawful contracts.
It cost ?00O te de the moving.
The papers get It. Felks laughed.
Ilulldcr preferred jail te ridicule.
He moved te another town.
Isn't it odd?
Liberty may become laxity.
It's only n question of boundaries.

"But, Father," Barbara halted him
In the very doorway with a protesting
hand, "you can't knew the details of
Jack's business. If he does pull through,
will you say 'yes' te him when he cornea
te you?"
"Se well de I knew the detalls of
Jack's business, my dear," her father
retorted, "that I feel quite safe In

"Father I" Barbara's tene was horri

you needed, te prevent Jack from getting
his?"
"Exactly," acknowledged her father,
I don't aim te de bURlnexn with cloven

The girl turned nwny dismayed. Af
fectionate and Indulgent parent that he
wan, she knew her father well enough te
reallze that he never tnlxell h's business
with domestic affairs and that he would
undoubtedly rclegate te the domain of
the former the elimination of n success

petitor be aspirant for his daughter's
hand.
She dropped Inte a pouch-hammock

market.
Again Barbara looked thoughtful. Fer
A moment she sat very still. Then,
"There's Just a chance 1" she cried aloud
and hatle&s, ceatlcss, ran down thu path
and through the g.ite. And, presently,
breathless, she brought up nt a tiny

Seme time laWr Barbara emerged and
her eyes were sparking. Smiling, she
turned and waved her hand te n (milling
aunt In the window. Then she walked
down the box-bordered path almost as
sedately as If she did net see fnme, for
tune, and a flance In the very Imme
diate future.
That evening, quite by nccldcnt as
usual, Barbara met Jack In the postof pestof postef

"Landed any cms, Jack?' she asked
"Nary a can, ' replied Jack "Net

"All right, Jack," said Barbara, and
her voice was mom earnest than he had
eer heard It. ".Vew Just listen te me.
Yeu can't can the tomatoes that's out

"Granted, dear, but what de I want

Jack with a grin. Then he stepped In

I wonder Why. I see what you're driv

"And we'll call It call It 'Delecta

"Yeu. my dear If It succeeds can

deepened se very much. Jack tipped up
her piquant chin and kissed her en the
lips. Then they settled down te plans.

as he emerged from, her father's eincp.
"What did he say?" she asked anxiously,

spoke French entirely and took no pains

Beth of us, from the height of our

and. without glancing around, I asked
the smiling young clerk te put me up a

CHAPTER XV
Tnpajr-Tnrry City
"rvlll" GASPED Peggy at the daiz
J ling scene that opened before
them as they sank through the mngic
sand.
"Oh!
tenp.
There, stretching far In the brilliant
Unlit, was a. city but what a strange
one I
"Welcome te the Tepsy-Turvy city In
the Lnnd of Upsldo-Ieun 1" tinkled
N'eddlng, eon of the Sand-Man.
The marvelous part about the city
xve.it that It was Ilka Its name. There
were houses and churehca and large
buildings. There were tiny men, women,
and children. Dut everything was topsy tepsy
turvy and upside down, dwellings and
people alike.
The buildings hed their foundations
uliere the sky should be uhlle their
chimneys pointed downward. The
streets were laid out In bewildering
circles, (squares and figure eights. Tne
people, hurrying end wicrrylng In cry
direction, raced about with their feet
clinging te the walks as a fly clings te
the celling.
Even the sunlight was turned around,
for It shone up out of the streets Instead
of down upon them. The effect was al
most blinding te the eyes, particularly
because of the blight colors et the
houses. Bright orange, vtld pink, nnd
flaming scarlet seemed te nbeund, but
here nnd thcre were touches of sham
rock green and deep sky blue.
"Oh. that hurts my eyes." rrled IVggy,
shielding her cjes with her hands ami
looking down. And then the gave a cry
of wonder, for what de you think she
had seen 7 That she and Billy nnd Neddy
were standing en the sky. Belew them
was n fleecy white cloud and beyond
was the flaming glory of the tunset,
"I'm all mixed up,'r cried Peggy. "Are
we standing en our heads or are the
people In this city? Are we walking
upside down or are they?"
"Hal Hal Ile." laughed Nodding.
"Teu are In the land of Upside-Down,
where you and every one and everything
are tepsy-turvy and all mixed up. But
don't worry I Here comes my brother
Napping and sister Drewsy Doxe te
greet us." Nodding pointed te a twisty
walk along which were running a boy
and a girl, their heads .hanging down
toward the children. An the two get te
a iwlnt above the children or below
them, (Peggy wasn't quite sure which It
was. Napping and Drewsy Doe turned
sudden handsprings nnd landed right
side up en the cloud beslde Peggy and
Billy.
"Geedy, ou're here Just In time,"
cried Drewsy Deze, who was dressed In
shining silver. ""We're Just starting en
our evcnlng trip te scatter sand In chil
dren's eyeB se they can go te sleep,
irurryl The night wind In waiting I'1
Without giving Peggy or Billy a
chance te Apeak, she selked Peggy by
the hand and went skipping from cloud
te cloud. Nodding and Napping, who It
was plain te be seen were twins, fol
lowed with Billy between them,
"Here we ere I" exclaimed Drewsy
Deze, pointing upward at what seemed
te be a tunnel. Around this tunnel the
sand gatherers were grouped, each busy
emptying his sack et sand Inte It.
"De ea wn del" cried Nodding nnd
Napping. Iteachlng up Inte the nlr they
turned hnndsprlng which landed them
wrong Bide up beside the tunnel. Drewsy
Doje followed them nnd clewi behind
rame Peggy and Billy, spinning around
llke acrobats. They, tee, landed wrong
slde up, but new they ere Surprised te
find that what had seemed wrong side
up before was new right slde up. And
the tunnel, which had appeared te go In In
eo the air, new went Inte the ground.
"Come en 1" cried Nodding and Nap
ping, Jumping Inte the tunnel where
they quickly vanished from sight.
"Come en!" echoed Drewsy Dose fol

IT IS Dorethea who tern me about this.
"Whnt shall I write about?" I ques
tiened. "Haven't you seen something
nlce?" Dorethea considered for a min
ute, head en ene side. "Well," she
said slowly, "you might tell. about that
wonderful filet lace I bought for n col cel
lar and cuff set." Se that Is what I
shall de, nnd if by any chance it is all
gene when you go te sec about It
which is hardly likely why, then, If

One dollar and a half a yard. Yeu will

and. where could you buy a fllet cellar

Whenever I think of headache'

wouldn't, under any circumstances,! be
without her trusty bottle of that sooth seeth

hew en het summer afternoons she, would
take a luxurious nap with the headache
cologne ruhbed en her forehead arid
