Silly Sue pulled lirr pink apron
devil over l.er fa! knee? w ith a Jerk.
Ih'lu't Ann! Harriet's voice sound
queer? Ail fraty am! suliliv! But
Sally Sue mustn't call her "Aunt"
Harriet now. She had told Sally Sue
that only that very tnornins:."
And now Aunt Miss Harriet was
tellii.i: mother she hadn't said auy
th I r, c had happened.
Out from the window floated moth
er's voice: "Why do you work your
self sick over that enormous center
piece. Harriet? The colors are lovely,
and your work is exquisite, hut If you
left those autumn shades without all
that extra padding and embroidery,
and pit some fresh air, and pot thines
fixed with Merton. wouldn't you be
happier?"
Sally Sue couldn't understand the
bipi-est words, but she understood the
tone quite well. Then she heard -Miss
Harriet say clearly: "I shall never be
happy aeain ! But there's no sense In
my not finishins this thine is there?
I can sell it. I've got to have some
gold thread, though. And you can't
get It In this little old tow n, can you?"
So Aunt Harriet wasn't happy at
all.
"Jes' 's soon 's the mailman comes.
Harwiet, we're gain' off I" confided
Sally Sue softly to the doll In her
amis. "Course we can get some gold
fred In this ol" town !"
"Here's the mailman," shouted Sally
Sue. And mother ran out to the box.
There was only one letter tills morn
ing, and that was for Aunt Miss Har
riet. Standing In the doorway, Sally Sue
saw all the white come into pretty
auntie's face, and she saw her just
tear the envelope open.
"He says he's sorry he didn't un
derstandand the centerpiece is very
pretty," said Aunt Harriet, and then
she crumpled all up In mother's arms.
"I don't ever want to see Merton Irv
ing again I" said Miss Harriet distinct
ly. "But I'm going to finish that cen
terpiece, If I never do another thing."
Sally Sue tiptoed down the steps.
"She said she'd never be happy, and
she's got to have, some gold fred,"
she whispered to doll Harriet.
Down the lane trudged Sally Sue,
over the hill and did not stop till she
reached the big red barn on the edge
of the meadow.
"Oo-oo Cncle Mert," shouted Sally
Sue. "Oo-oo," panted Sally Sue, as
the big curly-haired man strode In
sight. "I've got to have some gold
fred. Please, you take me to the lit
tle place down your lane where It
grows, you know. Uncle Mert. The
teeny white flowers with the leetle
gold roots. Aunt Miss Harwiet says
she'll never be happy till she's got
some gold fred. Don't pinch my arms
like that. You hurt, Uncle Mert!"
said Sally Sue.
"She shall have some gold thread,
bless her heart!" said Uncle Merton
cheerfully, "and we'll take It over to
her In the democrat wagon, Sally
Sue!" '
A very worried mother and a very
worried Miss Harriet met them under
the lilac hush.
"You give It to her." said Sally Sue
with marvelous insight, "I can't lift
It"
"Sally Sue said you wanted some
gold thread, and I called that your an
swer to my note that meant you do
like our outdoor good times better
than sewing up things, even If they
are most as harnUome as you, Harriet,
beloved."
Sully Sue stared, and found herself
gathered into three pairs of arms.
And Sally Sue heard the funniest Jum
ble of "It was gold embroidery
thread for the old centerpiece. I said
1 wanted. But I'm going to leave the
thing unomhroidered, and lie your pal,
Mert. dearest. And it was really the
flowers I wanted ri'x-t, after all."
Tin n a man's voice, "The ring dear
girl here." And ni'Uher's voice, "Of
all the silly quarrels, because he
thought she sewed too much and
didn't like to chum around any more,
and she thought if he didn't appre
ciate the eenterpie'e she was doing
for their living room, he wasn't worth
looking at." And then, two or three
voices "All quarrels are silly any
way." Then everybody seemed to be
kissing everybody else.
"Er-er MisB Hiuwiit." said Sally
Sue suddenly, "Uncle Mert used to
bring teeny little cimmononny balls,
and my doll's Jest got to have a -sitter"
"And ou're going to have an Aunt
Harriet," laughed ever body all at
once.
And the wee lilac buds nodded sage
ly In the breeze over the gold thread
blossoms.
The Airplane In Politic.
Mi. llolman, the former New South
Wales premier, rejoices In the huge
electorate known euphoniously ai
Oooiiiniundra. On the eve of a very
warmly contested election, Mr. Hoi
man recognized that CVotwnundra
had 18 large centers, each of which
required a personal canvass In order
to insure the return of Its present able
representative. He annouueed, there
fore, that he would use an airplane
to cover the electorate. Not to be out
done, his labor opponent at once made
plain to drop propaganda by airplane
over Mr. Holiuuu'i routa
Proptrty Owner in th Adirondack
Art Irmsy Over the Situation
They Hv Created.
Because the limited Intelligence
of the beaver goes no further than Its
own immediate purposes, owners of
property In the Adirondack re wish
ing that the heaver was less Indus
trious and seriously wondering whet
is to be done to stop the increasing
number of these willing workers from
decreasing the value and beauty of
this famous regioi. The forest rangers
of the conservation commission, says
a writer In the Albany Journal, last
summer estimated the undesirable re
sults that had followed the building of
nearly tW beaver dahis. and found
that an area of about 8.6S1 acres had
been flooded, and something like $51.
000 worth of good merchantable stand
ing timber w as being destroyed. Con
sidering that the number of beavers,
now estimated at about 18.000 1 be
lieved to be Increasing about 3.000 a
year, the damage bids fair to become
a serious problem. Not only do they de
stroy valuable tlmher. but they are i
steadily changing the character of the j
Adirondack scenery along the water j
courses and altering the shore line of
the lakes; yet the region without any j
beavers at all would not be the Adi- j
rondacks as nature made it and as I
those who now go there to enjoy Its j
beauty like to find It. Time was when
the beavers seemed likely to vanish,
and the state toek them under Its pn
tectlon; now- the danger seems to be
that they are so well protected that
they will eventually "come back" in
numbers out of proportion to the
norma! population of beavers when
the Adirondack were subject to the
conditions of life in a wild country.
NUMBERS IN EAST AND WEST
Difference of Opinion a to Whether
Odd or Even Figure Art
Lucky or Unlucky.
We are pleased to term thirteen an
unluVky number, observes London An
swers, but In Jnian the unlucky num
ber Is four, and In Burmah even num
bers are all considered less lucky than
odd ones.
Our lucky numbers, or what are
generally considered so by supersti
tious folk, are three and seven. If
you ask the reason you are told that
j God Is Three In One, and that Ood
made holy the seventh day.
As for seven, this number is sup
j posed to be lucky either by Itself or
In Its multiples. As an old writer
says, a boy sheds his teeth at 7 years
old; at 14 he become a yoirth; at 21
a man; while he reaches his grand
climacteric at nine times 7 that Is 63.
The figure three Is extraordinarily
prominent In the Bible. Noah had
three son, and Job three friends.
There were three patriarchs. Daniel's
three companions were thrown Into
th fiery furnace, and he himself was
three days in the lions' den.

Had Lou of Pluck.
Oeorge Thlhault, proprietor of the
summer hotel at Outlet, a village a
few miles from Picton, Ont was driv
ing his car towanls home recently
when he chanced to meet a herd of
cattle. The owner of the auto slowed
down to allow the animals to pass
without undue excitement. All went
well till he met the leader of this large
bovine family, a. splendid young roan
bull. The latter resented the pres
ence of the mechanical contrivance
bearing down through the herd on Ion
gear. Lowering bis massive head, he
charged, resulting In only a few
bruises to himself, but a twisted axle,
a badly bent fender and a smashed
headlight to the unfortunate motor.
As Mr. Thlhault Inspected th dar-iigo
he remarked emphatically: "I certain
ly admired his pluck, but he showed
poor Judgment."

suitable for all heat-Insulating pur
