TMte, the Iltflest and smartest and kJ,H.(roni of ths four children of Danny gnd 'Kanny Meadow ' Mouse, had run; away. Yea, air, he had run away from home. For' some time h h had planned , to do It, and now he actually i had done It. It wasn't because he was unhappy at home. It waan't because he wasn't loved by Ma father and mother and brother and' sisters; The fact is he wa 80 email and e ate and smart" that he waa very much loved bjt aU of nen1' Tne reason he had run away waa simply because he wanted i h Great Worldt and he believed! himejf bo smart that he could dew it without setting Into dan ger Von nee. he had a very ffood opin inn' of htmHelf, h4, little Mitei such a Hood opinion of himself that he thought he' knew more than Danhy Meadow Mouse and used to turn his head to hide a smile when Danny would tell of how dangerous It would l.e for onie of them to so much as peep oiit from the shelter of the pile of old corn stalks in. the middle of which was thf-ir home. ' . -I don't believe It ia dangerous at all," said .Mite. "I guess I'm smart enough ti keep out of danger, anyway. And if I should find trouble all I've got to do is to turn aroundand scam per home again." So lie had watched his cbaice and wheff noi one was looking, he had ulipprd -out along one of Danny's pri vate little paths.. He scampered along It as fast as' ever he could, fearing that he would be seen and called back. He took the first oath that branched off and S followed tbfs until this branrhed.i and here he tumedS acain. By this time ne waa quite sure that no one had seen. him. and so -of course, that no one, was following him, and he hejran to erdoy his freedom. It was verj delightful and cool down there with walls of rrass stems on either aide, and with a green roof where the grnsnea met above the little j.ath and! through which the merry jlttle eunlheams crept here and there. Every few miautes Mite stopped to sample, tender, young, juicy grasses, and ont-e to his great delight he found a strawberry. , laie.r ne causm isi of a fat cricket Just disappearing around a turn in the path, and with a started aifter it. , But when he got around the little turn in the path the rrlcket was nowhere to be seen. Mite hunted until he was tired. Then he sat down to rest. ' "I guenn." thought' he, "it Is about time I started back home." Right then and there he received the first of many frights which were, to be his 1 1 "I-rl wish I had stayed, at home," he sobbed. before .he should again see the dear old' home under the pile of old corn stalks on the edge of Farmer Brown's cornfield. Yes, sir, he received a fright a very great frjght. He didn't know where home was! He, Mite Mead ow Mouse, who was so smart and clever, had lost himself the very first thing. He had come along so many paths that he couldn't remember which v'fts "Which Right away little Mite did the very thing that most people do" when they find that, they are lost he began to offjrun. Yes, sir. Mite began to run as nara as ever ne couia. no oion i iwi tired any longer. All he could think of was getting home, and he acted as if he thought that Just running would get him there. Now, of course, it would have ; got him there 'if if he had been. running in the right direc tion. But he wasn't, and so the faster he ran the farther he got from homel And as he ran, little Mite cried. Yes, sir, he cried. He suddenly felt very, very Birtall and so dreadfully lonely. Those dangers he had so foolishly laughed at now seemed very real and near. Jolly, round bright Mr. Sun had hidden behind a cloud, .and so no merry little sunbeams brightened tho little path. And at last the little path ended. Little Mite sat down and cried. He just couldn't help it. "I I wish I had stayed at home!" he sobbed.

" OW soma women can' stay married pus sies me, ruminated tho stout lady as she sat and rocked and sewed in the -screened little porch at the back of her bOUSe..-. -.;. . -v;,iV' '''.-:. . . "Now, there's my neighbor two doors away. X see she's got another maid. But she won't keep her. Dear me. no! That woman has a new maid every few weeks. - 1 "That woman's got nloe. big, hand some husband, who attends strictly: to business. , But he s . getting so xaggsci looking: that I'll miss my guess If some thing doesn't happen to put him on Ills back before long. j "That woman is eternally complain ing about her hard lot in life. She says she could have married a millionaire time and again and hers she is wor. j rying her .life out making both ends meet on Tom's measly salary which ; isn't so bad, to myfmirtd. Td have been tickled to death if my Jim had made j,ou a month when wed been ten years married. . "As I said, she's always complaining and scolding that she has to do all the work and cooking, et cetera, and her husband is always telling her to get a maid, and put the washing. out. But she Insists on doing the work and the washing herself, until she's flat on her back. Then she calls in the doctor and gets a hired girl. . "Then it's the hired girl that she has to complain about. No girl can do anything right, and I can hear that woman scolding clear over here. My gracious, the way she talks to a girl makes me want to slap her. I wouldn't dare address any human being that way, especially if she was less fortunate than I ana had to .work as hard as that woman's maid works to earn a living;. "Besides her ecoldlrfg about the work, she's jealous of the maid and her husband seems to think every maid is setting out to win his affections away, And I've actually heardher accuse him of carryings on with this one and that one. wnen the .windows are open her voice carries down the whole block. And Say that man would no more look at another woman! I guess he's had enough experience" with one woman to satisfy him for all the rest. "She's Jealous even of her little girl. That man doesn't dare be nice to the child, or his wife bursts out In a temper at him for preferring the child to her. and then she scolds the little one or shakes her and asks her why she is always running- to ner rather for things. . "If 4 dared act that way around the house, my husband would leave me, and serve me right. And I know eome perfectly sweet tempered women who can't keep their husbands. But this woman manages to hold hers in spite of her mean disposition. He makes me think of a big Newfoundland dog trying not to notice the yapping little cur nipping at his heels, and I'll wager any thing Tve got that if ever there's a divorce in that family, the woman will apply for it on the grounds of extreme cruelty, and he'd get down on his knees nd beg her to withdraw the suit. Just because he thinks'Whe's a helpless little thing and needs him to take care of her. "Now, why can't a man like that marry one of these nice little women who ire crying their hearts out. because their husbands neglect them? By the way, haven't you notWed lots of times that the meanest wives have the- best hus bands'? D'you suppose they've got the real secret oi training a husband? I'd hate to do It, though, wouldn't you?" Predicts Death for .Over-Ocean Hiers Jack Xrwin, Who Was Wixsjess Oper ator "With -Wellman's Zx: edition la Amertoa," Snglae WU1 TaO. Seattle, Wastu.
