"Ought to have what?" T. Paer de manded. "I .ain't heard anybody say they need anything but more money. VI don't know what they want to spend the money for,"; Ma admitted. "but I know they want It to spend." "Sure they i do," T. Paer admitted.

IMBittBES Mother Bear Become Uneasy .- By Thornton W. Bargess An Idle boMter, it t clear, - U k who My h know do fear. -Mother Bear. MORE and more were the twins grow ing to feel that there, was nothing in all the Great World for them to fear. The poison people of the Snake family they could keep out of the way of, so there was no one and nothing for them to fear. At least, that is the way they -felt about it" and ; what they told each other, though for some reason or other " they never allowed Mother Bear to over hear them say such a thing. Perhaps :they felt ' this way because they were . Just at that age where they thought they knew all there was to know and so felt very much bigger and more important than they -were. Perhaps it was because Mother Bear hever showed fear of anything, so they had come to be lieve that there, was nothing for Bears to be afraid, of. ' I : ; "Mother. Bear Isn't afraid of a. single thing in all the Great World," declared Woof -Woof one morning as. the twins rested after a wrestling match. ' "And I don't suppose that big- black Bear she says is Our father Is afraid of .-anything in all the Great World, not a single thing." added Boxeft, Of course, he meant Buster Bear, v ""Excepting Mother Bear," Woof-Woof "reminded him.' K ; f "That's so," admitted Boxer, remem4 tiering how Buster Bear had run from Mother Bear the time he had chased -the twins up a tree, not knowing they were his own children, i Milk, the finest food in the world, comes to : ypu pure and doubly !rich in handy tins labeled Alpine Milk. All the, good of the finest western milk is kept for you in those tins, always ready to add a delicious richness to all milk dishes Use' it in cooking, on cereal, and in tea and coffee, too. rtLTiy OREGON M I LK sinol Brings a smile of relief as soon as it touches that irriUted skin. Save your self hours of Ir ritation by keep ing a Jar on hand. Cool, soothing, and so nearly flesh color it hardly shows at all. Your druggist sells it. Ask for It. What is it?" ventured Boxer at last. as Mother Bear again stood up and i sniffed. "It would give me a funny feeling all over to see Mother Bear afraid of any thing," continued Woof-Woof. "I can't imagine her afraid of a simcle thins-, not pne. - Why, when we are with her I Just I know that nothing can happen to us, no matter if we, aren't grown up yet." " It was that very afternoon that -Woof- Woof noticed Mother Bear acting aueer- ly. At least It seemed that way to Woof- Woof and to Boxer, too. They didn't know Just what to make of it, for they hadn't seen her act that way before. The twins had been hunting wild strawberries along the edge of the Old Pasture where i it joins the Green Forest. Mother Bear had been sitting down watching them. suddenly she put her head up and i sniffed long and hard. Then she stood i up on her hind feet and sniffed. For what seemed to the twins ever and ever so long she stood there sniffing the air ana her race looked as if she smelled i something she didn't like. Of course, the twins did exactly as Mother sear was doing, but though they wrinkled up their funny little noses and sniffed and sniffed they couldn't smell anything unusual. Presently Mother Bear dropped down and began to shuffle about uneasily. Every few minutes she would put her head up and sniff, and her face wore a worried look. Two or three times sne stood up as at first. Then I when she dropped down to all fours she walked about in that same uneasy man ner. ':; '-. ; The twins forgot ! all about, straw berries. It was plain that somethirfs was making I her very uneasy, and so they became uneasy. A queer feeling very like fear crept over them. They couian t uiBK or anything to be afraid 1 of, but. because Mother Bear, who never reared anytning, seemed , worried, they felt strangely anxious way down inside. I So they kept close to Mother Bear's I neeis. - - ., , . : . ."What is itr ventured Boxer at last as Mother Bear again stood up and sniffed. ,-;ri- . - vsc ; ' "Nothing,' growled Mother Bear way aown aeep m ner, throat. I think we'll go back, in the Green Forest." , I "There is something." whispered Boxer I to Woof-Woof, as the twins shuffled along at Mother Bear's heels. "She is worried about something. I wonder what it can be." But he didn't venture to ask again. - ....... (CopyrteM.: 1921, by T. W. Barns) The next story : "A Great Fear opreaas. .i Engineers Indorse, Soldiers' Bonus!
