Dame Instinct
nr paddy
i
Jflcfc and Janet meet a queer little
M wemfl Me weeds. She it
name Instinct, godmother te the
birds Md leasts. They coma across
a fitrce-teokine bear, whose cots are
hetti b'J Oame Instinct.
CHAPTER IV
The Brown Bear's Lessen
THE blc brown bear reaxtd up en
hl hind Ukb. He Wiped In aston
ishment at Dams Instinct, who Imi
boxed his card. The little old woman
looked se small bfMdft him that Jack
nnd Janet expected te see him grab
Itr and snap her head off.
But the big brown bear did nothing
of th "Ort. He shivered and shook,
lust like a school boy who waa ex
pectin; a thrashing.
"Don't yen knew better than te be
rude te persona you meet In the
weeds " demanded Dame Instinct.
"j.y.y-.ves, m-m-m-ma'm," gasped
fhe blR brown bear. Btammcrlng werse
tbnn Perky ftqulrrel had done.
Dame Instinct looked him ever crltl.
csll.v, her ejes showing ehe waiin't
pla'fd.
"Why aren t you fatter?" she
thrilled at him. "Don't you knew
winter is clese at hand and you will
tare te go te sleep nnd live en your
fat until spring?"
"i'-yy-yyes, m-m-mn m," stam
mered the brown bear, then he looked
wlitfullr at .lack and Janet and licked
bis chops. "Perhaps If I had a nice
boy or girl te eat I would get fat."
Ills hungry glances made Jack and
Janet creep. They didn't want te make
that big brown bear fat. Dame In
stinct's next words made them feel
mere comfortable.
"Nonsense." she said. "These are
my helpers nnd you cen't cat them.
They would Hnulrni se hard Inside of
jeu they would give you a stomach
ache. Vliat jeu need Is plenty of
acorns. If you were net se lazy you
euld find plenty of them. The next
Tallev Is leaded with them. Yeu go
ever there and cnt until you can cat
no mere."
"T-t-t-thank you, m-m-m-ma am,
mumbled the bear ns If anxious te get'
away. "I'll K right ever there and
begin eating at once."
But Dame Instinct was net yet
through with him.
"Walt a minute," hhe said. "Hare
veu found a. cave yet for your winter
nap?"
"N'.n-n-no. I haven't had time te
leek for one," mumbled the brown bear,
hanging his head ns if much ashamed
of himself.
"What?" shrilled Dame Instinct In
a high voice. "Didn't I tell you last
eek te find a cave nnd make It snug
for veur long nap? Old Man Winter
villi 'be prowling nreund here before wc
knew It. Hew dare you disobey me?
Put your head down here se I can box
jour cars."
The bear towered se high above little
Dime Instinct he could have kept his
ears from being boxed by simply hold
ing his head high, nc seemed In
great fear of little Dume Instinct, how
ever, ns he held his head low. Slap,
alap, slap, slap! He hnd" his cars
leundly boxed.
"New be off with you te find a cave,
and I'll Ke alone with you te see that
you de it," snld Dnme Instinct climbing
back with Jack and Janet, who stilt
sat In the whecllcss auto.
The humbled bear set off en a run
te find the cave. Itigbt behind him
hopped the whec'.lera auto.
The benr raced through the weeds
until he came te a rocky hill. Over
this rocky hill he ran as fast as he
could, poking hla nose into every nook
and cranny among the rocks. At last
he found the opening into a cave. He

"Is this geed enough, sweet Dame

"Humph! It will de," suiil Dame
Instinct. "New you mnke u weft bed

THE DAILY NOVELETTE
AUNT JINNY'S THANKSGIVING
LEGACY
By Jehn Dawsen
"Twrisa vjneixiA bassutt,
1V1 Wareham read, l'etunket." Aunt
Jinny turned the envelope ever and ever
nnd ii pslde down. Frem whom oeuld It
be? She couldn't read the postmark
because it was blurred nnd t-he didn't
recognize the writing. Aunt Jinny hud
no correspondents
Slowly she ripped the tlnp with an
inserted hairpin, took out tliei folded
paper within: opened It up. letting fnll
n thin hlun oblenc nlln: mid rend. Then
Mie gnsped and sat down suddenly in
the old rocker which fertunntcly hap
pened te be behind her. took off iter
snectacles and rubbed them, replaced
them and rend again.
"Inclesed please nnd my personal
cheek for 51000. It is yours te use
provided you bend me no thanks and
ask me no questions.
"Yours very truly.
"LEMUEL liASSETT."
This was the communication from her
relllng-in-wcnlth third cousin twice
removed who lived at Cherry Tep Hill
ever in Tuckcrten, whom hhe had net
met since the day of his wlfe's funeral
seme twenty years age when she was
the only ene who could comfort his
threo lltt'.c children left motherless
Why should he de this thing?
Puritanically, Aunt Jinny felt lm-
nelled te send the check back te its
owner as something te which she had
no conceivable right. Uuen, little by
,., ... . ,1
nine, ucr imagination, long ennucu neu
confined by n $."00 a. yenr Income, be
gan te expand within her. The things
she could de with $1000!
There was her nephew Harry strug
gling along with n large family nnd
a sick wife; there wns Cousin Lctty,
another peer relation llke herself, only
hopelessly crippled with rheumatism :
there were the destitute families down
In the hellAw whose men were out of
work ; there was the newsboy, Dick :
eh. there were se many that she could
help with that thousand dollars.
Aunt Jinny decided te keep the
rlw-k.
She let no (linn slip nwny n,fler her
ilrolfcien. That er,v afternoen1, In her
faded old bonnet nnd rusty coal, she set
rut for the little bank downtown, ear
ning high hop., n beating heart, and
I In her worn reticule a $1000 check
mm a carefully thought out list.
Thete was te be a cheap automobile
nnd a year's supply of oenl for Harry
and n new cook stove for nis wife; for
Cousin I.ctty a roll-out chnir nnd some
warm tiudcrgiirmpitts; for Dick, the
tewbbey, an nil paid up ceurfe at busi
ness college; for the three families in
the Hellew, three Thanksgiving dinners
ordered. And there were ether leaser
Lcnellclarles.
That evening Aunt Jinny rank once
niore Inte the old rocker, tired but
happy. All she hnd left te show of her
munificent check was a crumpled list
with every item scratched. Oh, yea,
she had also the memory of many ra
diant, faces, 'many protesting thanks,
nnd the tears in Cousin Lctty's old and
faded eyes.
Suddenly Aunt Jinny sat tipTlght.
Just suppose there had been some mis
take! Suppese the check hnd ranlly
been Intended for seme one cite and
had been mistakenly addressed te her!
An unsual sound breke In upon Aunt
Jinny's frightened reflections. Down
the lonely read a car was slowly com
ing, feeling Its wny. It drew up In
front of the house. It stepped.
A moment Inter an unmistakably mas
culine step sounded en the tiny perch
and the front deer reverberated with u
determined knock.
With the expression en her fnce of
one who gees te meet n dreaded if
deserved Nemesis. Aunt Jinny bravely
rose and turned the knob. Yes. It wns
Lemuel Hnssctt, for all his fur coat
swallowed hlni up completely.
"Miss er Virginia Bassctt?" he
wanted te knew. "I want te talk with
you."
A moment later nnd Aunt Jinny wns
sitting opposite him much ns a crlminnl
faces his judge. There was an awk
ward pause. Then, after a prelim
inary clenring of his threat, Lemuel
began :
"I I had hardly expected te call upon
,ou se Koen. But, well, you forced me
te II. This er well, this is the hew
of it: I gave the bank Instructions te
let me knew when you cashed your
check. I had a young fellow hired te
keep tab en hew you spent it. I hud
him engaged indefinitely a week, a
month, n year. As it was well, you
certainly gave him a busy day!" I.am
uel paused and chuckled.
Aunt Jinny relaxed. It wasn't as
had as she had feared. Then she arose,
Atnrtled. Fer the mini hnd risen, tee,
and was standing ever her.
"Listen, Jinny," he began gently. "It
came te me the ether dav that 1 was
getting en in years and that I hnd a
darn let of money, with no one' te help
me spend it. My boys ere well fixed,
and nlwnys will be. I was thinking
ever the women I knew nnd I remem
bered you hew geed and gentle veu
were with the children the day 'mv
wife was buried. I said te myself.
'There's a tine woman for you, Lem
uel!' Then I wondered about the
money.
"Hew would you handle it if I rent
first? And I decided te test you. That
explains the check. And why, Jinny,
you didn't spend n single pennv for
yourself! I wnnt you te marrv me.
Maybe we're tee old te talk 'about
love "
He paused at the leek in Aunt
Jinny's eyes. "Maybe maybe net,'
she murmured.
