The: ITay Madge Slipped Off On
I Her Errand of Mercy
- Katie opened the . kitchen door
ai I approached, and I saw in her
band the police whistle with which
she signals Jim at the barn or in
the woods.' It is the one which
Dicky .bought her, as he declared,
in self-defense - against the ear
splitting T Siiid ' long-continued
shrieka of Oh-h, Jeem!" with
which she used to summon her
patient spouse, and the whistle is
one of Katie's most cherished pos
sessions. "Eet makes me feel like a, real
cop," she declared when she first
used it, and she nerer has lost her
first childish-pride in it.
I put up my hand imperatively
as I saw it.
"Don't blow that, Katie," I said
sharply. '
"Vy?" Katie replied incredul
ously. "Dot Jeem he no hear me
else I blow eet, und I rant heem to
carry dinner, for dose leetle scold

I had to make a decision quick

Katie that he mean),. to. go after

would go to the barn after him.

f r4Among the objections urged against secret clubs and
pieties in ' high schools . are: that they are promoters of
Social cliques and snobbery where genuine democracy should
be encouraged; that their. members are, at the high school
ago, too immature in judgment and of insufficient experience
isocfally to segregate themselves wisely from the student body
and teachers for social purposes. Thc result is declared to
be unfavorable to discipline and to the conduct of the schools
on lines of student equality. That much public criticism injur
ious to the schools arises from the source is also current

"Here! Here!" he said mildly.
"You mustn't bother this lady."
She turned on him as might a
wildcat with ringers curved into

"You git me my babbe you."
she screamed, and I hastily step

"She's not responsible. Officer."
I said in a low tone. "And I don't
mind her holding on to me."
Ilia tense unhappy face relaxed.
"I don't know what to do with
her. Ma'am, and that's a fact." he
said. "This ain't any place for a

"She has a little baby at Lome."
