1 BPITB of Helen CtormaSs belief
that she had at last proved her inde
pendence of her nude, she had to face
one more interview with him before leav
ing her native town.
This ordeal she had not anticipated.
It was the afternoon before her de
parture for New York. The last toad ot
furniture had been taken from the cot
tage. A kindly neighbor had urged the
homeless girl to come ta her for the
night. '
Helen stood in the center of the little
dining room looking; about her. She
wore a huge gingham apron and held
a broom with, which to sweep np the
odds and ends of paper and string scat
tered about the floor. All day she had
been doing this cleaning room after
room aa the furniture movers left each
one empty except for dirt.
She listened to the men going slowly
aa they carried out her small sideboard.
She had sold much of her furniture. Her
dining room set had belonged te her
grandmother, and waa to be put Into
storage.
The men's stow footfalls reminded her
of the sound of the feet of the men who
had so recently borne her mother's coffin
from the .cottage. In one short month
everything In life, had changed for this
girt She waa no more like her former
self, she mused, than this bare room was
like the cozy1 spot in which the and her
mother used to take their meal.
Compressing her lips, she began to
weep fast and furiously. The sooner
the task was completed the sooner could
she get oat of this memory-crowded
house.
So vigorous was she in her efforts that
she did not hear some one enter, and
started nervously at the sound ot her
uncle's voice, close at her elbow.
"Oh. Uncle," she gasped. How you
frightened me"
"The front door was wide open so X
came in. I felt I had a right to do
this, as I am paying the rent of this
house,
1C
therefore may take liberties la
TJertainly." Helen rejoined. "X quite
taderstand that. Only you startled me.
I was so busy that I did not hear ywa
until you spoke right by me."
"X am glad to see that yon are leaving
the nlaoa at least- broom-ctoan after
yon," Daniel fOoaae remarked. "X waa
looking at the things en the van that
drove off joat now. The driver tells me
he Is taking them to the storage house."
"Tea. sir
"Where is your other furniture?"
"I sold It"
"I heard aa much from various aourcea,
but could hardly believe you had done
this without consulting 'me."
"Why should X worry yea about It
Uncle?" Helen argued.
"X came here this afternoon." the man
went on. "with the Intention of showing
you how ktadgjr X am willing to treat
you. X am taking this opportunity to
ten you that you may come to my house
leave here thai afternoon
end stav tat the night ' X understand
that you are te leave for New York ta

that thai Is your planT f J ;
"Tee sir. . X wrote yea about It so Chat
you would knew tl-at the bouse would
be vacant svverel days before the lease
os ft expires. I waa going to telephone
to you later a the day to tell you coed
bye." - " -
"WeD, It need not be good bye yet
since, as I have Just said. I am willing
to have you spend the night at my bouse,

to have a room ready tor yee tor. of
course, you have nowhere else to go."
"Oh. but X haver Helen eontrsdlcted.
"Mrs. Draper has kindly asked me to
stay with her until my departure for
New York. And t nave accepted her
nice Invitation."
"You make it hard for me te be kind
to you, Helen." the man reproved, "Had
you been different 1 might have taken
you to California with me this whiter.
As It la, you have forfeited that oppor
tunity by your independence."
Helen triad to speak calmly. "Thank
you. Uncle, for thinking of me la that
connection. But Too see, I must begin
to earn my own lrrlng."
"If you persist In your stubborn Course

CHATTERER the Red Squirrel could
hardly halleve hla ayea when he
saw that tall stump, which had been hi
biggest storehouse, lying flat on. the
ground, split wide open and with not a
seed, nut or acorn anywhere about The
ahock was so great that for a few min
utes he could Only stars at It He couldn't
find hla ton cue. and that la a state that
you will seldom find Chatterer In.
Of course, he knew at once that thnl
stump had fsllrn and split In the groat
Storm. All about were other fallen
stumps and treea and great branchea
But hat had become of those seeds and
aroma and nuts? They should be there,
scattered about on the Icy crust. But
there wasn't one. No. air, there wasn't
one.
Juat as soon as ha was aure of thia
Chatterer knew what had happened. He
knew that someone had found that store
house before the great storm arid had
takes ' all those seeds end acorns and
nuta He found his tongue now. My. my.
my. I should say so ! Such a rage as
Chatterer flew into ! There was no one
. In sight to scold, but he scolded Juat the
same. He arolded ao hard he Jerked
himself off hie feet He Jerked his tall so
hard it Is a wonder It didu't snap right
off.
lis was In surh a rage that ha couldn't
stay In one aJaoe if he tried. He ran
about this way and that and not once
did his tongue stop. He called the one
- who had taken those seeds and not a and
i aoorno every had thing he could think
of-wretch. Sneak, robber,- thief.' He
made dreadful threats ot what he would
do If be found out who had emptied hla
storehouse. He waa ao busy being ansry
that for a white he actually forgot that
he waa hungry. And he dlda't onre stop
to think that this unknown taker of his
food bad dene nothing that he htmeetf
would net have done bad he been in his
place.
Yes. air. had Chatterer found a store
house like that be would have emptied
It. and so far from feeling that he had
- done anything wrong he would have
thought himself smart. You aee. among
the little people of the Oreen Forest and
the Greee Meadows taking things an

wrong, aa it would be with us, It la not

to hide them where no one else will find
them. If someone finds them and U
smart enough to get away with them
that la considered aU light. It ta Old
Mather Nature's way ot keeping wit

Bet Chatterer didn't think of this. It
wasut Just the toes of aU those good
things that made him so angry. It was
partly the thought that someone had
base smart enough to find that, store
