Ma exclaimed J? in astonishment as T. Paer came bustling Into the kitchen where she vu beating up the hotcake hatter, "where on earth did you pet that rigV " T. Paer leaned hia burden in the t-or-nr, removed his plaid cap and looked down at the : stockings covering his fptndling shanks modestly but wlUi a sheepish grin, i J i "I' rot 'em offn Stutlerin' Fergie." T. Taer explained. "He's swore off play in irolf any more.',' "fThat man's j always swearing about -nomethinjj," Ma observed, so I guess .e'd Just as well awear about golf as anything else.": 'That's the way 1 happened to get the outfit." T. Paer chuckled. 'Fergie's been ncruffin' no much here lately he couldn't make more'n nine holes in a day." 'Scruffine?" Ma repeated, "What does tltat meanT' 'Soruffin'," T. Paer defined, ."is -where ypu swing- at the ball 'nd dig up tine green. It sure put Fcrgle out'n the game.". . "Why?" Ma asked curiously. "It ain't against the rules is it?" , ' "Well." T. faer grinned, "the madder Kergie gets the worse lie stutters, 'nd . every time he'd scruff he'd stop to cuss." ' ; '"He's a awful .wicked man." Ma said, "tout X don't see why he'd give up golf l cause It was a little trouble for him id swear., , ' !"Pecause," T. Paer told her. "it took up so much time he couldn't get around, hut the real reason was because someone giiye him a rub of the green." !"Pid ' they - put paint on him?" Ma asked incredulously. "So," T. Paer chortled, "Fergie was Rtutterln 'nd some guy yelled 'fore1 'nd then Toeaned him back of the ear." f'Beaned him? What does that mean?' Ma asked doubtfully. "Walloped him on the dome with a golf ball." T. Paer informed her. , "Fer gie swore off right there." "What are all them sticks In the 'sack for?' Ma asked Interestedly. , Them's my clubs," T. P. answered proudly. "Vou take the driver 'nd you tee off 'nd " ,Tve heard about that teeing off," Ma The Twins Get Even By Tnoratoa W. Bargess. It 1n't nice: it iin't kind;.

It 'is so every' A where in the Great World, and the Great World 'would be a much1 belter Hace in which to live if it were not so. It is the desire to get even that makes much of the trouble and the hard feel ing and the unhapplness everywhere. Hut there are times when getting even certainly does give a lot of satisfaction. It was fiQ with. Buster Bear's twins, Boxats and Woof -Woof. iTou remember that the very first time they ventured out from under the great windfall deep in the Green Forest, where they had been born, Peter Rabbit had given them a great fright by thumping the ground with his hind feet, as only Peter can thump. The twins were so pmall then.; and they knew so little of the Great World in fact,- nothing at all that Peter had seemed to them a terrible fellow. They never had for gotten him. Whenever they were out side the great windfall they ' watched for him,' ready to run .at sight of him. j But It was a: long-time before they saw Feter again, and when they did they had grown so that they were consider ably bigger than he. Besides, they had been out on several trips into the Great World w ith Mother Hear and had learned many things, for little Bears learn very fast.and have the best of memories. But, at last, they saw Peter again. It hap pened this way : , r I Peter had stayed away from the Green Forest as long as he could. Then cu- riosity to seej what was going on over there had been too much for him, and he had started over to visit Paddy the Beaver. -He took great care to keep away from the great windfall, where Mrsl Bear and the twins lived. As cu rious as he was about those twins, and much as he wanted to see them again, he was too much afraid of Mrs. Bear and her short temper to take any chances. But he felt that it would be quite safe to visit Paddy the Beaver, for Paddy's pond was some distance from the great windfall.' i 'Now, Fcter didn't know that Mrs. Boar was in the habit of taking the twins with her wherever she went. So it Just happened that that very day she had chosen to go over near the pond of Paddy the, Beaver. The twins had played until fhey were tired, and then they had curled up! for a nap in a sunny spot, while their mother went fishing in the Laucrhing Brook. ! When Peter arrived in sight In of Paddy's , pond, Mrs. Bear was hidden behind some brush a little way up the Laughing Brook and was sitting quietly, waiting for a fish to come within reach. For once Peter was careless. He was so Intent looking for Paddy 'the Beaver There's More Real Satisfaction" f- says the Good Judge i t i W-B CUT is a long fine-cut tobacco . U . RIGHT CUT is a short-cut tobacco remarked frigidly, " 'nd you ain't going ; to do any such thing." i M nd you're talkin about different things," T. Paer answered stiffly. "If you don't tee off good," he continued, as he exhibited a second club, 'nd you think you can make a steal, you swat it with thls'brassie 'nd then if you- roll onto the rreen you gobble with this put ter 'nd win your point." , "Gobbler Ma said, lit horror. Tull look fine running around making a no toe like a turkey." 'You don't make any noise "when you gobble," jT. Paer contended, fit's only when you don't that'you do.f ' - "It don't sound very dignified, any way," Ma objected". "I don't think I'd like the game." "It's a great game," ,'T. Taer insisted. "If you baff when you try to steal nd heel into the rough us drop into a. hazard then yoa use your niblick to drive onto the. fairway or use your sand iron to loft over the bunker." ' "Eo yo2"-Ma said absently, as she hefted th lirtle fellow's" driver. "You're not thinking of playing golf today, are you ?' "Sure." T. Paer answered uneasily. "Today's a holiday, ain't it?" "I was just thinking," Ma observed sweetly,, "what a fine; carpet beater this thing'd make." "Carpet beafer?" T. Paer shrilled. "Who ever heard of beatin' a carpet with a golf club?" "I don't know who did." Ma answered firmly, "but our neighbbrs're going to hear one being beat with one right after breakfast." "They ain't no use of me tryin' to do like other fellahs," T. Paer grumbled. "I get all togged out nd you put the kibosh tin it." ' "You promised me last night," Ma re minded him, "that you'd beat the sitting room carpet this morning." "All right, all right," T. Paer answered testily, j "111 beat the blamed thing, but it sure spoils my disposition when you wait till I-get all dolled up and then stymie me.". - "Maybe," Ma admitted, "hut even that isn't as bad as if I give you a rub, of the green is it?" With Peter Rabbit With a squeal of fright, Peter jumcd and started, lippcrty-Up-perty-llp, for the nearest pile of brush. . , " that he didn't use his eyes and ears for Other things, as he should have. Ko he passed ;witain a few feet of the twins without seeing, them, just beyond he sat up to look over the pond for Paddy. .Now, the twins slept each with an tar open, as the saying is, and they heard Peter pass. Open flew their eyes, and they saw at once that it was the terri ble fellow who had so frightened them once. But. somehow, he no longer looked terrible. He was smaller than they had thought. In fact, they were now con siderably bigger than he. You see, they had been growing very fast. Boxer's eyes twinkled. Perhaps this fellow was like Chatterer the Red Suirrtl, bold and terrible only to those' who feared him. He nudged Woof -Woof. Very softly they got to their feet and stole up behind Peter. A .twig- snapped under Boxer's feet Peter turned. His eyes seemed to pop right out of his head. With a squeal of fright ' Peter jumped and started, lip-perty-lipperty-lip, for the nearest pile of brush, and after him raced the twins. They knew now that this terrible fellow was more afraid of them than ever they had been of him, -and they meant to get even fir the fright he had given them when' they w;ere so little. It was great fun. TCcprrieht. 1021. by T. W. Burgess) The next story Place. 'Peter Is in a Tight One Particular Omitted From the Philadelphia North American.
