If you remember, we left them on top of the hills. When Day and Night were first missed, Billy - and Nanny thought they had only.wandered off into the wood or down to the stream, but when it began to grow dark and they did not come back, Nanny said. "I do wish the children would come. I am afraid they are lost." ,"0h, don't you worry, my dear. They are not such little babies as you think, and Night will soon be able to take care of himself and look after Day too." When It grew darker and darker and they did not appear, Billy commenced to get nervous, and when Nanny suggested that there might be wolves in the forest that would eat them up, Billy said he would go look for them. He never let on to Nanny that the same thought had come to his mind. ;'Nanny, you go look down by the stream for them," he said, "and I will go into the thick part of the forest to see if I can find them, and we must both call their names all the time so they can hear us if they are anywhere around " - PART II. While Nanny was looking for her children down by the road, Farmer Windlass' hired man saw her as he was driving home from spending the evening with his sweetheart, and before Nanny knew what he was up to, he had stopped his horse and caught her and tied her to the back of his buggy. "Oh, my! Oh, my! whatever shall I do?" bleated Nanny. "Now Billy will come back, and when he can't find me he whl think the wolves have attacked me or that some other dreadful thing has happened to me." She bleated and bahed as hard as she could in the hope of making Billy bear her; but she might as well have bleated to the moon ia

the hope of being heard, for Billy wag la the depths ot the forest calling his kids. The hired man took Nanny home and shut her in with the other goats, and as he shut her in with the other goats, and as he closed the gate on her, he said, "Well, where did you leave old Billy? I bet he was not far off, for you gen erally stick together like sticking plaster.." . . Late as it was, . all the other goats woke up and wanted to know where she and Billy had been, and how she happened to be brought back without Billy or the kids. While she was telling them what you already know, we will go back and see what has become of Billy. The first place he went to look for the kids was in the depth of the forest by the spring, and he had a hard time to find it, as by this time the forest was as black as pitch and every once in a while he would run his nose against a tree. Then he would bleat and stop to listen for an answering call; but none came, and his heart sank with dread and disappointment for he was afraid the wolves had eaten them. At last be' wandered back to where he had left Nanny, but she had not come back, so he lay down to wait her return. After waiting a long time he got up and started in search of her. He spent the rest of the night in looking, and just at day-break discovered her footprints in the mud of the brook where the man had caught her. He smelt around a little to make sure they were hers, and when he found they were, followed them to where she had been taken, for he was afraid some butcher might catch and kill her. He felt greatly relieved when he found she went in the direction of Mr. Windlass' gate, for then he knew she was safe, Answer to riddle No. 4 Noise.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM, SATURDAT,

Resolutions "Sweet Revenge" Thinks Calvin the Young Hero, and Then He Proceeds to Mess Things Up a Bit "I also resolve to never disobey any more what ma tells me to do." It was with a pinched, painful scrawl that young Calvin Percival Moore, stretched out on the floor with a pencil gripped tightly in his smudgy fingers, his freckled, none1 too-clean face screwed horribly out of shape, wrote the above. It was the day before New Year's and Cal vin, at the suggestion of his mother, the good Mrs. Moore who was always in a fright over her young son's escapades with that "terrible Jones boy down the street," was at work upon a lengthy set of resolu tlons for the New Year. When the young man had written down everything he could think of that he would, or wouldn't do, beginning the next day, he raised himself from the floor and banged through the house to the kitchen where his mother was engaged with the preparations for the big feast on the following day. He announced his coming with "Lookee, Ma, ain't this pirty good?" Mrs. Moore, her hands covered with flour,, turned. Calvin Percival was standing hard by holding out the paper. She took it in her hand and read those parts of it which she could decipher. When she had finished she sweeped down, flour and all, on the young Calvin and with a "Fine, dear child, simply wonderful," grabbed him around the neck and squeezed him tight. Then she kissed him eight or ten times real hard kisses. And the young Calvin Percival began to wonder if he had resolved anything he would later regret. The tenth kiss Had Just been placed when from outside the house there came a loud shrill "Oh, Cal! Hey, come on out! I and Pete's going over to the cave and cook some taters!" It was the Jones boy that horrible Jones boy from down the street. Calvin SQuirmed from his moth er's arms and' stood looking at her ... with questioning eyes. Mrs. Moore could tell from the look In Calvin Percival's eyes what he wanted her to say. He wanted tographed with the babiis they brought into the world as the liner docked In Nw York.

her to tell him that he might join the Jones boy In the potato roast. But Mrs. Moore was doubtful, for she knew right well that every time those two boys got together there would be trouble every single time. If it wasn't Calvin Percival who came home with a discolored eye, or a bleeding nose (or both) it was the Jones boy Tom Jones was his full name. Then she thought of the sheet of resolutions Calvin had Just written written without even a protest and how he had said he would nev er disobey her. "All right, Calvin Percival," she said finally, "you may go, but mind, now, I don't want you to get into any trouble. If you do I'll have to send you to bed tonight without your supper. Remember your resolutions." But "before she had finished Cal vin had dived for the kitchen door and shouted out to Tom to wait a minute. Then he scooted through the house searching for his outer clothing which he found In various places. Returning to the kitchen he asked his mother If she would give him a couple of potatoes. Mrs. Moore, wiping the dough from her hands, got three big ones and hand ed them to Calvin, and he, with a polite very polite "Thank you," which surprised Mrs. Moore, tore madly out the kitchen door, slam med it shut after him and with a wild yell Jumped down the snow- , covered back porch steps into the i i yarn. Mrs. Moore, watching the flying form of her son through the kitchen door window, sighed deeply, ON HIGH SEAS :o David Maeth holding Baby Morton the strange arrival She is Susquehanna Boiling; Kohlburg, shown on the left with Dr. Robert H.

shook her head and turned to her baking. Calvin Percival was the worry of her life. Maybe, she thought, she would have done better to refuse to allow Calvin to go to the cave'. - But, then surely .nothing serious would come of letting him play with that Jones boy, for hadn't ha said in his resolutions that he would obey what she told him, and hadn't she said emphatically that he should not get into any trouble?

For Girls to M&ke Homecraft NEW YEAR'S PARTY COSTUME By Carolyn Sherwln Bailey Don't worry because It is the day of the New, Year's party, and your dress isn't ready. You can make a lovely costume using home materials, cheesecloth, cotton batting stitched with black yarn to look like ermine, old silkoline curtains for flowered silk, cast off bur lap or denim for huntsman's things. and gilt and silver paper for crowns and jewels. . The Snow Queen, Wear a white dress and over it a long white cloak made of an old sheet edged with the cotton batting ermine. Sprinkle the fur with frost powder. Tufts of cotton, also frosted, should be caught to the cloak. A string of white or glass beads, and a stiff .white, paper crown covered with cotton wooi with small silver paper stars pasted on at intervals completes the Snow Queen's dress. Mistress Time. Study a picture of the ancient Greeks that shows the long tuniclike dress of the girls with its border in the form of a fret Make yourself a tunic of heavy cheesecloth, and paste on a border cut from gilt paper. Do your hair in a Grecian twist and wear a band of yellow ribbon that comes down over your forehead. Carry an hour glass or a small sickle. The Spirit of the Woods A skirt of dark burlap or denim, a white blouse, and a girdle of moss green velvet make the foundation for the costume. Trim the border of the skirt with artificial holly, and wear a wreath of it. Carry a bunch of evergreens, or wear a spray of pine. The Spirit of the Hearth This is for the dark haired girl who can wear flame-color. Cover an old red dress with crimson tulle or the red tarleton on sale at holiday time. The covering should bo full enough so that it will move like the fire It represents, and a painted border of yellow will give it the appearance of flames. A long string of black wooden beads typifies the coals of the hearth. Use the big, wooden kindergarten beads, staining them black. And do make yourself a cricket to perch on your shoulder. His body is cotton batting, covered with black crepe paper, and his legs are hat wire, wound with black silk and bent into shape. Boys' and Girls' Newspaper Serv ice.
