"Wo'ra golnf to drlvo 'hrough Longarr Valley and will ba nark very soon." Pat waved them foodby from tha 'rent window, and noticed what hard tlma Carson had cranking- his tlvver. It was a very cold day, and lean's cheeks were very pink. Pat was fond of his alster, who had bean second mother to him and little Paul since their own mother had died wo years before. He was fond and rrntefnl but he hated to be left to Mnd the baby. "I'd rather be scared to death than 'u red to death," he muttered aa he irned from the window, and his re inrk sounded quite fine to him, ao lie jald It again and even wrote It on he ede of a magazine, P.aby was asleep and the house very unlet It was still outside too, and the Hrrit looked yellow. Rover scratched it the floor and when he was let In. tie sniffed about anxiously and barked as loudly aa he dtired. Pat got rest less too and wandered aimlessly to the porch. Whew! It was cold! The wind wna rlslnir, and how It cut! . "Geo!" exclaimed Pat, as he backed nto the house. "I hope Jean will en ny her ride In that little flivver!" He went down and tended the fur nice, which helped while away a lit tle time, and when he came up again "d clanced out of the window he saw i whiteness, "A bllard, by roily!" he cried, ""hlngr to the window. "Poor Jenn! hope that poor fish will have sense nourh to ret her to a safe place, 'liiess she'll 'phone pretty soon. Gee. t hope she will!'" ' Tie peered anxiously out while Rover whined at hla feet The big silent flakes fell fast, driven slantwise hv the keen wind and covering; every lnndmark. Pot had a horrid feellnir of being burled deep, deep, and cut rf from everybody and everything In midst of the stilling whiteness. Suddenly he thought of their cow, joss, and the old horse, once a favor of his mother'a and now an old rnHriner of the f.imlly. "The window PEGGY'S VISIT TO THE FOREST -4 f- V KUUY was to be the little Dutch f-Jb"h-l in a play ln her room' at school and she had been working u hard to have her costume quite ' rfuct. She was to wear a short. iTl.ied skirt, a plain little tight fitting waist, a large bonnet that almost cov. ered her and, of course wooden Mioes. It had been easy enough to tlx up tho skirt and waist; the bonnet, l hough queer, wasn't so very hard to make but the wooden shoes they had Leen a real trouble. "Wooden shoes," hor mother ex claimed, "I'd just like to know where .vou can find wooden shoes! Tears ago we used to see them sometimes on the fancy goods counters In the big Mores. But not a pair have 1 seen unco the war. I don't believe they t-hlp them over here any more." "Hut I have to have wooden shoes!" tried Peggy In great distress, "I couldn't be a Dutch girl without them." And It was tight there Uncle Kd came to the rescue. He remembered that one Sunday when he had driven way out west from the city, he hud pissed through a Dutch settlement. And he thought of course, he wasn't "' tain ura but he thought he had i een some youngster walking about In wooden shoes. "Let's drho out there next Sunday," he suggested to Peggy, "and see for , . .. "Come li-l us go!" said Mary to Neil, ' "Ami coast (Ion ll. tlie bill till our new sled!"

His boots were In the barn, but It was only a few feet from the house. Whew' When tie opened the bark dour a cost nearly blew htm off his feet, and it seemed as If a great angry ogre had thrown a bucketful of snow violently In his fare. He Lushed, though. It was lots of fun. Out Into! he blizzard he daahed headed straight for the barn. He ought to reach It la a minute or two. i How queer! He certainly ran far enough yet the barn wasn't there. IIi-lp! "The wind's blown me kff , my course, I Rtiess," he muttered. ' "Or else It's blown the bum away!" He stared through t lie wicked whiteness around him, but could ace nothing except the snowllakes. They made him dizzy, "I'd better (to back." he thought, and turning right square around he sure. If they have some, maybe they will sell them to us lor enough money to buy real for sure American shoes with. At least we can try It." So (hey went, Peggy and her uncle, and they had a beautirul time. They found the quaint little Dutch village with Its charming little houses and one big sure enough windmill. And better still, they found the li:tle chil dren with the same wooden shoes and one little girl. Just Peggv's size ex actly, was more than willing to sell her shoes to a little girl whose uncle ' was as generous as I'ncle lid was that I day. So the shoes became Peggy's and her costume was complete.
