THE SMALL BROWN "STUMP"
RUNS AWAY
TT was on a brisk morning that
Peter Btarted for a walk in the
forest. As he trudged through
the thick leave 3 he remembered
the flay he had saved the life of
t!ie Old Oak Tree, and the tree, in
eratitude, had given him the ma
gic power. of speech with all the
h!nls "of the air and creatures of
tha field and forest. Ilia finger
care-wed the tail of a blue lizard
which kept him from harm in his
wanderings.
t the edge of the woods he
spied a beautiful tree In its au
tiirnn dress.
"Vhr. that tree looksjust as If
it Was on fire!" cried Peter, look
ing at Its leaves which Jack t rost,
with his magic brush, had paint
ed flame color.
"And that little tree over in the
corner it shines like a pile of
gold! Oohl whoever would think
that an old stumn could ba
pretty as that stump yonder! Why
the moss on it is Just as green as
if it was the middle of the sum
mer. How glad I am that I chose
tha woods. If it is as lovely as this
outside, what will It be in among
the trees? I'll bet there'll be lots
hf thlncrs to see.
With a shout the boy dashed
straight into the woods, scuffing
up the dried leaves as he ran and
laughing Just for tee oy 01 Deiag
boy in the open on sucn a ueau
tifnt riav.
But by and by, as he went far
ther and farther into the wooas
It grew quieter and quieter, and
oy and by the boy erew auiet. too
It didn't . seem Just right, some
how, to make a noise that would
wake the stillness.
"I guess I'll make believe I am
an Indian, said the boy under
his breath, and he stepped softly
upon tne leaves, trying his very
best not to make them rustle.
mere was something on the
ground in front of him that looked
like a brown stump. What was It?
Peter crept forward to , see.
( Nearer and nearer crept Peter
toward '(he queer browir hum
mock. At last he stretched out his
hand to touch it, when something
happened that made his heart
jump up into his throat. So start
led was he that he didn't notice
an old tree root sprawled across
his path, and down Peter went,
1 head oven heels among the leaves.
"Quit! Quit! Quit!" The small
brown stump that wasn't a stump
at all kicked up the leaves all
about it, throwing some into Pe
ter s eyes, and away it ran as fast
as it could tear, scolding the boy
ror disturbing the peace.
Peter sat up and brushed him
self off.
That is the worst fright I have
had yet." remarked he, aloud.
Flaying- with the buss and
birds as long as I have ought to
make me used to most anything,
but I am never ready for these all
of a sudden folk. Now, who could
mat ueaiure inai 1 iook ror a
stump have been? Why couldn't
he nave made himself known
without rushing off like that?
My, but he was angry! And
wouldn't have hurt him for any
luuis- iuayoe it 1 nurry x can
catch him, and when he knows
that I didn't even see him and
wouldn't have scared him If I hat
known he was there that he will
make friends with me. I believt
lie went this way. These leave
don't seem to He quite so thick.
Next: "She's Fooling You!"
A short time ago I ran a letter
from a mother who ha'd a 18-year-old
ton and bad always long-
ea xor another child. She was
vsry happy when she found she
was with child again, but her
friends discouraged her, saying; it
was a disgrace, as her son was
nearly a man. and she would
have hard time, etc. ' My ad
vice to her was 'to be happy over
the advent of her baby and not al
low friends' abnormal ideas to
worry her.
In this morning's mail there
were several .letters from readers
who have had similar experiences.
and two of them wrote directly to
Mrs. M., requesting that I send
the letters on to her. So much
kindliness this little column of
mine shows there is in this
world! But, dear followers, we
do not keep names and addres
ses of our correspondents, so we
cannot forward letters. How-
yr t will run nurt nf thm flint
letter the. other was similar j
for It will be helpful to many wo-
men who are going to have chil
dren later In life. This is it:
"Dear Mrs. M,: I read your
letter in Dr. Peters' column and
I felt I must tell you of my ex
perience, as it will encourage you.
"Six years ago, when I was 45
years old and my youngest child
was 13 years old, my son nearly
20 and my eldest daughter 18, I
found I was to have another. My
kind (?) friends were sure I
could not live through, as I had
sven when I was much younger,-
had serious times with the others.
But I never got along so well be
fore! And I gave birth to a love
ly boy with no difficulty. My
children worshipped him and
were proud and showed him off
to everybody.
