"Toud better iook omi xou u iwim

"hip ino(lnr?s of tho plrntcs must be

"The plrutes are food," insisted
Vita, who now f'tvcry kindly to
i!rd Win ninck-Hjo nnd hiscrrw.
How do you know they nro good?

SIC .hav'3 off their wbMers nnd

That argumtnt seemed scnMblo to tho
Mrles "Clean children usunlly arc
food children." nBreed Flitter-Flash.
''dean fscet boeomo dirty faces un

In trying to doneo nnd Buck the oranges
1 tha same time they, of course, got
juice on their faces. That Is what
Marlsco was pointing nt.
''Unless I hnvo proof by set of mm
that the plrntcs nic good insido, in spite
ef their dirty fnces. I will shut them up
grain," declared Mnglsco sternly.
That mndo Peggy feel snd. now
would the plrntcs prove they were renllv
tood? She would be very sorry Indeed
to hare them shut up again for hun
dreds nnd hundreds of years.
"I wish Eoinothlng would happen to
ihow that the plrntci are good," whis
kered Pegqr to Bill v.
No sooner bad Peggy spoken than n
Bidden squall swept across the bay.
Thoush Peggy didn't know it until
afterward, that squall and what fol-
1WM came to answer ncr wisn.
The sqnnll whisked the fairies nway,
drlring them to shelter behind the trees
ni rocks of the forest. It brought
the danco of tho plrntcs to i sudden
,top, and caused Cnrtnin Black-Eye
and his crew to turn nn anxious y
toward the sea. They saw a great black
cloud rushing over the waters.
"A hurricane!" shouted the captain.
"We must hurry to our ship to furl tho
nil and throw out storm anchors."
The pirates ran to their bonts, nnd
rfgny. Hilly. Folly Wisher nnd the
African bnvages, not knowing what else
to do," ran with them and jumped into
the bonts. The pirntcs rowed quickly to
their bnrk. the Merry Magpie, which
lay in the bnv. nnd while some swarmed
into the rigging to furl tho flapping
Mils, others threw out tho Brent storm
anchor to hold the bark so It would not
be blown upon the beach.
The pirates worked fast nnd Eoon they
had theii- ship snug and secure, waiting
for the coming hurricane.
Peggy and Hilly turned anxious eyes
toward the sfn. And what they raw
Mined them to give u shout of alarm.
Ppcwllng townrd the narrow entrance
to the buy was a steamship. It was
racing with tho hurricane. On tha
("eck wcro frightened women, children
and men. Behind them was tho awful
Hack storm. Would tho hurricane natch

For the Baby
A home-mado baby coop can bo con
structed from a lurRO wooden box,
which should bo padud nnd finished In
side, fo that thera Is no danger of tho
baby being Injured h odd silvers or
protruding nails. My box Is latgo
enough for tho child to move freely nnd
high enough for lifting hltn conifortnbly.
An old quilt or blanket, which should bo
washed nt frequent Intervals, furnishes
the necessary wurmth for tho bottom
or the box. I prefer this arrangement
to some of tho fenced typos of baby
coop, because thcro Is slight danger of
oralis striking baby. If every mother
would use a baby coop of somo Bort,
ene would not only lessen hor care, but
would know that baby is cleaner and
eafer thnn when crawling nbout on tho
floor. People's Home Journal.

When Gilbert nnd Bullivan celebrated

they couldn't foretell tho same kind of
a young womnn of the summer of 1021.
She deserves a song all to herself, for
In her clothes both of theso esthetic
tints, either alone or combined, have
romped all over the resorts.
Our prcsont model adds to a front
pnnel of rrccn organdy an ovcrskirt,
bodlco and sleeves of yellow in tho same

with tiny ruffles of green, nnd bands of
yellow on the corsage como under the

the bodlco gives the final accent.
To this coBlumc is added n charming

a crown mudo solidly of yellow flowers
nnd green leaves. Larso roses of crcon

HOLES
A hole is nuthlng almost scrround
cd by something. The moro thcro Is of
It the deeper it gets, and there Is no
limit to its shape.
Holes change according to cercum
slanccs, sutch as for instants wen a
hole in the street gets full o watter
It changes to a puddle, wlch is one
of the most unpopuler kinds of holes
to 6tep into. Enybody that steps into
the same puddle twice Is naturally dum.
The holo in a cruller tells it apart
from a doughnut, but is otherwise use
Hss unless you havo a ambition to bite
erround it to see how neer you can
come and still miss It.
The funniest holes is sipposed to be
tho holes In Swiss cheese, being even
funnier to tawk about than wat they
are to look at. No matter how Ignor
ant you arc. if jou mention the holes
ir, Swiss cheese you can always make
wmebody lnff.
If you sec n fello wawklng back
werds it may bo because he's got n
suddln hole in his pants and is trying
to diskizc it, but on the other hand it
may mecrly be because ho's tired of
wawklng fruntwerds. This proves np
peerances are dccectfill.
One of the most inconvenient holes
is a hole in your pockit that you know
nbout but cant remember. Ono of the
most convenient holes is a hole in the
fents erround a ball game.
Holes disappcer as soon as you take
nwav wats erround them. A hole by
ltfelf Is impossible nnd therefore a hole
can never have u handle.

THE DAILY NOVELETTE
The J. U. P. Letters
By LAUHA ItEID MONTGOMERY
Eminn nicked im n nlirnt nf tinner and
fitted it In her typewriter with a half
Mnllo nbout her lips. The cylinder that
she had left until tho last was tho one
she liked best. Slio had never bccii
tho correspondent who dictated tTie let
ters into the dictaphone from tho com
plaint dcsl$, as he had nover given her
any work personally, but she liked his
voice.
"Voices tell so much," sho had said
once to tho girl next her.
"They don't toll mo much except a
lot of words that 1 hate to spoil.
Makes a girl tired to work all dny. I
like to work in an office where there
isn't much to do. Then I'm fresh for
the evening," snapped Malzle, adjusting
her headpiece as the otllco manager
glanced in her direction.
Kmma was already listening to the
volco that went on slowly nnd evenly
and her fingers flew over her machine.
"I Just know that ho is n good-tempered
man, his voice is always so pleas
ant," sho reflected as she finished. A
certain cadence In the modulated tones
had awakened old memories.
Back in her home town there had been
a red-haired, freckled boy, Fred Smith,
whom she had always secretly liked.
The other girls had not cared for him.
His shyness kept him out of many of
the villago affairs, but Emma was al
ways moro pleased to have him walk
homo with her from church than to
drive with Fcnton Hates in his shiny
buggy. After Fred, who was two years
ahead of her in school, had gone to Chi
cago to get a start in business, Fenton
had called twlco on Sunday nights,
which, in that town, signified a very
particular interest, but Lmma had not
encouraged him. When sho had In her
turn gone to the big city to work Mie
had dreamed of seeing Fred again, but
after a few weeks in the bustling place,
where pno hurries all through the day
to be ready for thp next dny's work, she
speedily gave up tho pleasant hopu.
"I could livo hero for yenrs," she
thought, "nnd we" would never meet.
I wonder if ho ever thinks of that lit
tle house on the hill where ho said
ence he wanted to buy when he mar
ried?" Tho expression in the shy,
freckled faco had always remained In
her memory j his eyes had told her what
his stumbling tongue had hesttnted to
say. Sho knew that at that tlmo stie
had been tho girl ho wanted to pre
side over the quaint plnco half smoth
ered In tiny yellow roses.
"Hay, Emma, my mother Is sick and
wants me to go home. "Will you finish
my letters for mo? I've fixed some
notes alwut the work, so it won't be
hard. Jobs arc setting so scarce that
I'm afraid to leavo a bit of work over."
Daisy's voice held a frightened note.
"Of course I will," Emma responded
instantly, taking the notes and' cylin
ders over to her desk.
At G o'clock Emma was called Into
the private office. Her heart gave a
sudden throb: she had thought long
ingly of her homo town, but she couldn't
afford to lose her work. Owing to the
slack times, many of the employes had
been dropped.
"Miss Gordon?" The busy mnn nt
tho desk, glanced up shnrply. "You've
been tnking tho letters from tho J. U.
P. complaint desk?"
"Ye, sir."
"You also wrote Daisy Morton's let
ters today?"
"Yes, sir."
"Did sho leavo the copies or onlv
notes?" Mr. Blntchford looked down
at the wiro basket before him contain
ing Emma's pile of finished work.
"Just the notes; her mother Is ill."
Emma's forebodings were crystalliz
ing; thero would bo changes.
"You have been doing the J. U. P.
letters for somo months. Miss Gordon.
Do you think you could write those
letters without dictation? Tho man in
charge Is going "
"Going away?" Emmn interrupted,
then stopped. What had possessed her
to sny it?
"No." Tho bushy gray eyebrows
wcro raised. He wondered at her vehe
mence. "He Is going to be promoted,
nnd I think I Miall try you out on his
work. Your letlcrs have been sntisfac
tory. You will get a raise in salary.
Want to try it?"
"Yes." The relief in her voice was
palpable. '
"Very well," he poko cordially, gp
up to tno correspondent's room on the
fifth floor and ho will show you the
work."
Emma went out toward the elevator.
She had worked bard and taken pride
In doing her work ns well us she was
nblc, nnd jet, through her rciicvcu
clntinn nt a ralso nnd moro responsi
ble duties I not cut of being dropped as
sho hnd fen red, the thoughts of the
peaceful little village possessed her.
The dny was sultry and the bent and
noises of the city tired her. Hoys tak
Mig sheafs of papers to different rooms
in the great. building clattered past 4icr
on roller skates with a deafening
clamor.
"I guess I'm not very ambitious,"
thought the girl, pushing back her
curly blnck hnlr that was damp from
the heat, "but I'd rather bo fixing up
n house, putting up fresh white cur
tains nnd getting flowers from the gar
den for the supper tnblo thnn to be
writing letters nil day nbout farm Im
plements or rubber boots.
At tho door of the correspondent's
room she stood a moment thinking.
Sho always dreaded meeting n new em
ployer, nnd she wondered if tho owner
of the plensnnt voice would be hard
to plcnBO. "J. II. P.." she murmured.
The letters were the only tnngtblo title
sho had 'for him.
As sho stood before tbe big desk she
saw that tho man bending intently over
n pnper had red hair. "I am Miss
Gordon. Mr. Blatchford told me to
report to you " Her sentence was
left unfinished ns she met Fred
Smith's eyes.
"Emmn!" ho cried radinntly.
As they walked townrd her boarding
house after work he suddenly asked :
"You have been tnking my letters. Why
didn't you let mo know you wcic
here?" , ,
"Because," laughed Emmn, no longer
depressed nnd lonely, "I only know you
ns tho man with tho J. U. P. letters
of complaint."
