Paer answered slowly. I aet In there a ml nit 'nd they sound loudern a base drum In a Jan band." "Ma must be taking a nap," Polly smiled. "I haven't heard of you com plaining that way before." "I hope she Is," T. Paer said simply. "Hbe ain't at home for a while." '"Oh." Polly exclaimed. "I don't blame your ior staying ouisiue men. tumgij bouses are awful lonesome places." "Uh. huh," T. Paer agreed. 'iWhafre you cavortln' around about this ave nlnT "I was just wondering If you cot to see Charley and Bob while they were In town," Polly asked. "X saw Charlie." T. Paer answered. "but I ruess Bob's herdin' sheep or somethln.' lie ain't been In town much." V'I thought they were coins to meet and talk about the rest of the jobs be fore Charlie went back to Washington,' Polly remarked. "That wu what Bob aid In the paper." "Bob didn't show." T. Paer grinned. T ruess he's heard enough about 'em al ready without talkln' any more. "What do you mean?" Polly asked. "There's a, lot of 'am to give out yet that haven't been settled." "From what I hear." T. Paer an swered, "Bob's been so busy tellin' ev erybody how he happened to appoint George Piper that he's air wore out 'nd bad to go to one of his sheep camps to rest up." "I wouldn't wonder," Polly admitted "lie sure pulled a boner when he did that Job. But I thought he was goln' to be back In Washington when congress started again today." "What's the use of his beln'. there," T. Paer asked curiously. "Senator Adam's on the job ain't her' ' "Why oan't you quit harp In' on E. J. 7" Polly wanted to know. "He s making good secretary, ain't he?" "Must be," T. Paer remarked. "Bob ain't been around the senate much since he went back. He's been too busy flxln' 'It so's hlrn 'nd Bill Thompson could get money to loan U the sheep men." "Well, the sheep men've got to have money, ain't they?" Polly Insisted, There's a lot of 'em need It bad enough." "I guess so." T. Paer answered, "but they's a. lot of other things that ought to be fixed up as well as tnem. "Whatr Polly demanded. "The jobsre all about attended to," "Sheep 'nd jobs ain't everything," T. Paer contended. "Where was Bob when they pulled all. the boats out of Portland? Seems tome havln' boats come in heres about as Important as sheep." "Chamberlain fixed that up, didn't her Polly contended. "He could da more good about that than Bob could anyway." "They's something to that," T. Paer admitted, "bat Senator Adams ought to've' wrote a few letters about it any way." "You know." Polly said, lowering her voice confidentially, "and approaching aa near a giggle as she ever permitted her elf. "It's a kind of a joke the way E. J. signs his name to Bob's letters, ain't it." "Well," T. Paer answered slowly, "it ain't been no Joke to some that's got the letters. What's the use of bein' a United States senator unless you can sign your own letters whether you write 'em or notr "It Is a kind of a jolt to write a letter to senator about something personal na get an answer irom a secretary Polly admitted. It makes you feel like you didn't amount to a whoop anyway." "Id like to go back 'nd visit in the senate a while," T. Paer grinned. "I guess It's lots of fun to watch Senator Adams when he's in the senate." "He can't get In the senate." Polly ob jected. "Only real elected senators can do that" "He sits in the back like a lookout at a roulette game while Bob's Inside." T. Paer chuckled, "but he don't go unless Bob does." "What do you suppose he does that for?" Polly queried. "I should think he'd be over to the office working at his own lob." "I don't know unless he's afraid Bob'U get his speeches balled up," T. ' Paer grinned. 'They say Senator Adams' close second to Pan Webster 'nd John Calhoun." "Speeches don't count much," Polly oontended. "It's In the : committees where the work's done." "Yes," T. Paer conceded. "A senator can get lots out of a committee if he drops in on 'em once In a while." "Bob does that I guess." Polly said tentatively. ' "Go ahead," T. Paer answered as Polly turned away.

Black Poor- IOB four mornlilfcs Black Pussy had patiently watched the little bole In the middle of the path along one aide of the Old Orchard, the hole which had been the doorway to Striped Chipmunk's home and which ehe supposed ttW was. On the first morning she had all but caught him as he had popped out, but since then he hadn't popped out Butas' he had been out each morning she thought he must either have come out before she got there or else had another doorway to that home. This was the fourth morning and the fourth disappointment Black Pussy was very angry as she sat in the middle of the path twitching- her tail. Disappoint ment often makes folks angry. Black Pussy felt that somehow, she didn't un derstand how, Striped Chipmunk was making fun of her, and she couldn't stand being made fun of by a aaucy little chap like him. The more she thought about It the angrier she grew. A little movement in the grass not far ahead of her drew her attention. Instant ly she crouched until her stomach touched the ground. Then out from- the grass boslde the path came Striped Chip munk. He didn't appear to see ben for he sat up and washed his faCe and combed his whiskers with his hands. Then he turned his back to her and sat there in the middle of the path as if trying to -make up bia mind -what to do next Black Pussy's yellow eyes gleamed with a fierceness and longing ' Quite dreadful to see. Inch by inch she crept toward Striped Chipmunk. She wasn't sear enough to make a rush and she knew It Inch by Inch. Inch by inch-she crept nearer, and still Striped Chipmunk sat there as If there wasn't such a thing aa danger in all the Great World. The end of Black Pussy's tall twitched faster. Inch by Inch she crept on. If he sat there a minute longer she would be near enough for a chance to catch him before he could reach the old stone wall, Now, all this time, while he appeared to be paying attention to nothing in par ticular. Ktrtped Chipmunk, was watching Black russy from the corner -of on' eye.' He sat still Just at long as he. dared to, then, atill pretending he didn't see Biacx Pussy, started slowly toward . the. old tone wall. Black russy knew that It was now or Black Pussy's Dreadful Blunder never. As Striped Chipmunk disappeared in the crass beside the path Black Pussy rushed after him, and she can run fast when she wants to. Then Striped Chip munk took to- his legs for all they were worth. Through the grass and the bushes he raced for the old stone' wall with Black Pussy almost at hla heels. It was aa exciting- race. a . terribly excititig raoa. Striped ChlpmunK -giil- -iier u be had been too bold ; if he had waited Inch by Inch she crept Striped Chipmunk. toward too long. Just In front of blm, close to the old stone wall, lay something black and white. With a dying leap Striped Chipmunk jumped over it and landed on one of the lower stones of the old wall. In a flash he had whisked between two stones and was safe. Black Pussy had eyes for nothing but that striped coat In front of her. She didn't see that black and white thing at all. All she saw was that Striped Chip munk was almost to the safety of that old wall. So as he made that flying leap for safety, B'.ack Pussy leaped, too, her claws stretched to grasp Striped Chip munk. And Black Pussy landed right square on that black and white thing close to the old stone wall. Right then and there things happened very fast Black Pussy had made a dreadful blunder. : (Oopyrlfiht. 1921. by T. W. Buigtm) QUE ?USKKED ROAST WO!
