"My story " said Mr. Tom Cat, "Is i about a mouse; the only moose that ever got away from me that Is, the only one that I erer saw. Of course, I did not see the ones that cook thought I should have caught. "J came to live at the master's house when I was a very little kitten, and right away I began to catch the mice. "I have heard It said that my mother and father were the best mousers anywhere around, and I exp?ct I take after them. Anyway, , I could catch mice, so I became a great pet in the house. "And while I always had plenty of milk and sometimes cream -to eat, I never failed to catch a mouse each night and sometimes more, for a cat bad not lived in the house for years, and those mice thought they owned it until I came. "They ran about everywhere, on the pantry shelves and all over the rooms at night, and they would even run over me sometimes when I was taking forty winks, but I soon stopped that. I played r was asleep when I wasn't, and caught those silly mice until the others began to learn that I was a thing to be feared and not to be taken as a joke. ' "Bu". there a as one mouse I could not catch. He was larger than the others and had a little piece taken nut of one ear, so I always knew him, and it pave me no end of worry to think he always escaped me. "The others -ailed him Tip, because it w as the tip of his ear that was gone, and Tip was some runner, I can tell yo j. He could get through the smallest hole In the wall and he could get sway from you when' you had your rav right over him. I made up my mind to jet Tip. if I had to let the other mire have the house, and so for a week I Irid for Tip. "One night he came out of his hole and Jumped right over my head and I chased him around the kitchen, uhrn all at once right, before my eyes, hf disappeared. I sniffed and hunted. I knew he v -as there, but I could not see him or find him. All at once I saw a shoe of the master's that stood near th Ltove. move, and as quick as a wink I flew at and put in my paw. "Did T got Tip? Xo, sir; that slick little ft!!ow crawled out of a hole in the side of th?t shoe and ran for his ltrI" In wall, laughing and giggling to think ho had fooled me aain. "I did not sleep for two das after that, sitting by that hole in the wall, rr.d I was thinking how hungry Tip irnift. be. having to stay in there without any fcod and feeling sure he would hr.vp to come out soon or starve, when I fe't something touch my tail. "I t-irnrd around and there was Tip. rio.v ho get out I never knew, but. I rxrei r. he gnawed a hole in another I'srt of the wall. Anyway, there he .-a. sitting on his hind legs and makir.g funny motious'with his front paws. ! "1 jumped, but ho wan ready for' t!:ct, and away he scampered into the !;i:i'!ry and I after him. Ov?r the she'.vos he went, and I vn:t, too. Back of the boxes, and I wrr.t. too, tins and dishes falling with latter and smayli. but I did not care, II Is Spelled G-E-T-S-I-T All Reliable Druggists Sell It and Won't Try to Pnwn Off Something Else on You.

Newepaper Syndicate. New York. I was after that Tip mouse and I knew it was now or never. "He , knew it was a fight to the death, I think, by the mad dash he made behind dishes and tins, but after a while he grew tired and made for his hole in the wall. I knew that wa- my chance to get him in the open, and I flew after him and reached him with the tip of my paw, but it was only his tail I had. Tip was in the hole. I grabbed at the tail with my teeth and off It came. I have that tail yet, for I never got Tip, and I like to look at at sometimes just to get up my fighting spirit." "Didn't you ever see Tip again?" asked Mr. Rooster and Mr. Dog? "Oh, yes; I saw him once after that." said Mr. Tom Cat, with a yawn. "Why didn't you catch him?" they asked together. "Oh! Tip was in a trap when I saw him," said Mr. Tom Cat. "Was it one of those traps that catch them by the head?" asked Mr. Dog. . "No; It was a little wire affair." said Mr. Tom Cat, " and I looked In and saw him running amout" "Why didn't you catch him then, when the master opened the trap; didn't they give you a chance at him?" "No, Mr. Dog," said Mr. Tom Cat, looking very lofty "I am a sports

man, and no truo sportsman ever! touches a caged mouse. Tip was let out of the trap, and the master thought I would catch him, but I didn't even run after him, and for all I know Tip may be living yet. I will do my own hutting and catching: none of those traps can ever help me to get a mouse." "Some of his grandchildren might go back there to live even if Tip did not return to the hole in the wall," said Mr. Dog. "It might be that those very mice that were running about last night were some of his relations." "I never thought of that," said Mr. Tom Cat. "I will watch for them to, niEht, and whr.her they are or not, I will remember Tip and catch them all" ' "I guess I will go along with you," said Mr. Dog. "I am pretty hungry, and it must be dinner time." "If you all are going home I guess I better get back in time for dinner, too," said Mr. Rooster; "my family will think I am lost. So all three - started off for their home, forgetting about their grievances in listening to the story' each had told, and if nothing has happened to them I expect they are living there yet. Tomorrow's Story "Wooly Dog and Teddy Bear." Reluctantly Caryl gave her address to him. Under the circumstances there seemed no way out of it. This done, she bowed coldly in returning his salute and walked away. She did not like Kelley Delaine, she mused. Somehow he made her feel all the time lately like a naughty child who had been caught with her fingers in the jam pot. An hour later, as she softly opened the door of the darkened room in which Julia lay, she stopped, con scious of an unexpected .fragrance. The fresh smell of roses hung in the air. Julia turned toward her as she entered. "How is your head now, dear?" asked Caryl. "And who ever sent you these wonderful flowers?" she added, bending over a great bouquet that stood in a bowl on the table. "My head's better," answered Jr.iia "No card came with the flowers, so I've no way of being s-ure who sent them." But in the bottom of her heart f-he knew who the sender was. That Caryl could resist the temptation to ask Questions when it suited her plan to seem Incurious, was proved by the fact that she made no further inquiries with regard to the roses. Julia's head w-as better, but as she did not feel well enough to go out to the midday dinner, Caryl went alone to their usual eating place. On her way home she stopped at a small shop which chanced to be open today, and bought a cheap novel which she read all the afternoon. Sitting on one chair, her feet on another, she became PRESIDENT KELLY CONDUCTS FUNERAL OF ESTHER WILLIAMS FOUNTAIN' CITY, June 16.

"Thank yoti, Loretta. The position will be with an associate of my father's, I think. President Mallowe of the Street Railways. Too must attend faithfully to your duties, if I am able to obtain this place for you, hut I think the main part of your service to me will consist of .keeping your eyes open. Tomorrow morning a man will come here and interview you a man In whom you must place implicit confidence and trust, and whose directions you must follow to the letter. He will tell you jut what to do for me. This man is my friend ; he is working in my Interests, and if you care for me you must not fail him." "Indeed I won't. Miss Lawton! I'll do whatever he tells me. . . . You said that I was to keep my eyei open. Does that mean that there is something you wish me to find out for you?" she asked shrewdly.

. "I cannot tell you exactly what you j are to do for me, Loretta. The gentleman whom you are to meet tomorrow morning will give you all the details." Anita Lawton approached the girl and laid her arm on her shoulder. "I can surely trust you? You will not fail me?" The quick tears sprang to the Irish j

Helen and Warren Series; Story of Their Married Life

MME. I. J. KAHN. Street and Evening Gowns. Highest Cash Prices Paid for Ladies Slightly Worn Clothing. Tt was a faded sign over a small, dingy shop. In the window hung several tawdry gowns, a soiled ermine muff and a deraggled feather boa. Astir with a sense of adventure, Helen followed Laura into a mustysmelling shop, cluttered with a motley array of second-hand garments. The buzzing bell of the opening door announced their entrance. From a curtained partition in the rear appeared a stout, slovenly woman in a rusty black satin gown. Miss Lyle sent me here, Mme Kahn," explained Laura hurriedly. 'She said you had some very lovely evening gowns some fresh ones that you'd show me if I mentioned her name." "Oh, Miss Lyle!" The woman's face so much absorbed in her story jthat it was almost dark before she put the book down: Julia suggested then that her sister go to the delicatessen shop at the corner and get something to eat, as she herself wanted only the cup of tea and bit of bread and butter which Mrs. Halloran would bring up for her supper. Then, as there vas nothing else to do, Caryl undressed and went to bed, but not to sleep. While Julia slumbered the younger girl lay still, thinking out the problems of her own life and likening them to those of the heroine of the foolish novel over which she had spent so many hours. Why might not she, Caryl Marvin, be like the girl in that book? Why might not she marry a rich and handsome man and become "a society leader and queen?" That her ideas were ridiculous did not occur to the sentimental child whose imagination had been inflamed by pages of romance. (More Tomorrow.) WHAT WOULD FLAG DO WITH STARS? What's to be the new arrangement of the stars in Old Glory when another state is admitted to the union? This question has been circulating around Richmond since Flag Day which called considerable attention to the flag. i "That's easy," said the local recruiting officers this morning when the question was put up to them, "we'll just square things up and put in seven rows of seven stars each." SPARROW RESTS ON HORSE'S BACK MILTON, Ind., June 16. Mrs. Emily Williams was 85 years old Thursday. She was the recipient of many beautiful gifts, among which were post cards and flowers. She was also the recipient of a fine young chicken for her dinner. Wednesday afternoon, during a veryheavy rain here, George Murley, the ice man stopped his horse and wagon under a tree for shelter. A few minutes later a sparrow lighted on the horse's back and curled its feet up under its feathers, and so remained until after the rain was over, and then flew away. A curved windshield for automobiles that reflects sunlight downward and prevents glare has been patented. How You Can Quickly Remove Hairy Growths A well known beauty specialist advises this treatment for the removal of hair from the face.

This method is quick and entirely safe. To avoid disappointt ment. however, it is well to make cerI tain you get genuine delatone. adv.

girl's eyes, and for a moment softened their rather hard brilliance. "You know that you can trust me. Miss Lawton! Td do anything in the world for you!" Anita Lawton held a similar conversation with each of the three girls, with a like result. To Fiflne Dechaussce, a tall, refined girl, with the colorless, devout face of a religieuse, the probability of entering a minister's home, as governess for his children, was most welcome. The young French girl, homesick and alone in a s ange land, had found in Anita Lawton her one friend, and her gratitude for this first opportunity given her, seemed overwhelming. Margaret Hefferman rejoiced at the possible opportunity of becoming a stenographer to the great promoter, Mr. Rockamore; and demure, fair-haired little Agnes Olson was equally pleased with the prospect of operating a switchboard in the office of Timothy Carlis, the politician. Meantime, back in his office, Henry Blaine was receiving the personal report of Guy Morrow. "The old man seems to be .strictly on the level," he was saying. "He attends to his, own affairs and seems to

There was also a tier of shelves jumbled with large paste-board boxes. "Any particular color?" throwing back one of the glass doors and running her grimy hand along the shimmering silks and satins. "Just so it's light it's for the pictures. I want something with good lines that will take well." "Nobody can show you the stock T can." pulling out a gown of mauve chiffon with silver fringe. "This's take fine and it's just your size! Seeas Miss Lyle sent you, I'll make it cheap $30. Here the buzzing door bell proclaimed another customer. "Well, you look through and see what you like," as she hurried off. "Why, that isn't cheap," whispered Helen. "And it's a narrow skirt a last year's model.

However, when I left, I took a wax impression o the lock, in case you wanted me to have a key made and institute a more thorough investigation, at a time when I would not be disturbed." "That's good. Morrow. We may need to do that later. At present I want you merely to keep an eye on them, and note who their visitors are. You've been talking with the girl you say the daughter?" "Yes, sir " The young man paused in sudden confusion. "She's a very quiet, respectable, proud sort of young woman, Mr. Blaine not at all the kind you would expect to find the daughter of an old crook like Jimmy Brunell. And by the way, here's a funny coincidence! She's a protegee of Miss Lawton's. employed in some philanthropic home or club, as she calls it, which Pennington Lawton's daughter runs." "By Jove!"

"I wish you didn t have to get it here," demurred Helen. "Can you find something just a6 cheap In the shops?" "Not the expensive looking things they want In the pictures. Yielding to the allurement of the open case, with intense interest Helen examined the mass of closely hung evening gowns. They were all of rich fabric, with expensive laces and jeweled trimmings, but all past their first freshness. Most of them showed signs of the cleaner's and the odor of gasoline mingled with that of stale perfume. Helen thought of all their past grandeaur of the women who had worn them, and the operas, dinners and balls they had graced. There was one, plainly a bridal robe, of trailing ivory satin, embroidered in pearls. No woman would sell her wedding gown. What tragedy had brought it here? (More Tomorrow.)
