His mind forever on the past, v For grief has found his heart at last Each day the mailman has to bear This new, this unaccustomed, care, And men behold In bis hurt eyes A look half, sorrow, half surprise. For grief has come and struck him down, y The merry postman of the town. Who used to whistle up the street. And had his friends, and all things sweet - «* And, In his eyes, with sorrow bent Is something of astonishment That such things happen, that one day Can come and take so much away. And yet for thirty years he bord His missives to his neighbor’s door, Black-bordered letters, or a page Scrawled by the lonely hand of age, The pleading of some woman’s heart, Who hears the faithless one depart— And yet within the mailman’s eyes The look Is sorrow, and surprise. © by Dbuslas Malloch.—WNU Servlca.

BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN By THORNTON W. BURGESS VISITORS TO PADDY’S POND T HE hunter .who was hiding near the pond of Paddy, the Beaver, hoping that Lightfoot, the Deer, would come back there and give him a chance for a shot, was- a man of patience. Also he was a man who understood the Tittle people of the Green Forest and the Greer^ Meadows. He knew that If he would not be seen he must not move. He didn’t move. He sat as motionless as If he were a part of the very log on which he was sitting. For some time there was no sign .of any living thing. Then, from over the .tree tops In the direction of the 6o Mr. and Mrs. Quack Swam About Within Easy Range of That Tsrrible Gun. Big River, came the whistle of swift wings, and Mr. and Mrs. Quack alight ed with a spla.sh in the pond. For a few moments fhey sat on the water, a picture of watchful suspicion. They were looking and listening to make sure that no danger was near. Satis fled at last, they began to clean their feathers. It was plain that they felt safe. Paddy, the Beaver, was tempted to warn them that tlie.V were not as safe as they thought, but as long as the hunter did not move, Paddy decid ed to wait. Now the hunter was sorely tempted to shoot those ducks, but he knew that If he did'he would have no chance that day to get Lightfoot, the Deer, and it was Lightfoot he wanted, Mr. and.Mrs. Quack swam about with in easy range of that terrible gun with out once suspecting that danger was anywhere near. By and by the hunter’s keen eyes caught a movement at one end of Paddy’s dam. An instant later Bobby Coon appeared. It was clear tha{ Bob by was quite unsuspicious. He had something. Just what the hunter could not make out. He took it down to the edge of the water and there carefully washed it. Then he climbed up on Paddy’s dam and began to eat. You know. Bobby Coon is very particular about his food. Whenever there is water near, Bobby washes his food be fore eating. Once more the hunter was tempted, but did not yield to the temptatton, -which was a very good thing for Bobby Coon. All this Lightfoot, the Deer, saw as he stood among the little hemlock trees at the top of the ridge behind the hunter. He saw and he under stood. “It is because he wants to kill me . that he doesn’t shoot at M-r. and Mrs. Quack or Bobby Coon.” thought Lightfoot. a little bitterly. “What have I ever done that he slfould be so anxious to kill me?" Still the hunter sat wj/hout moving. Mr. and Mrs. Quack cofuentedly hunt ed for food In the mud at the bottom of Paddy’s pond. Bobby Coon finished his meal, crossed the dam and disap peared In the Green Forest. He had gone off to take a nap somewhere. Time slipped away. The hunter con tinued to watch patiently for Light foot, and Lightfoot and Paddy, the Beaver, watched the hunter. Finally, another-visitor appeared at the upper end of the pond, a visitor In a won derful coat .of red. It was Reddy Fox. C T. W. Burgeaa.—WNU Servlre.

Fresh fruit Is always the favorite, but now that canned grapefruit Is available In al- tn(0 any market. It, with other canned fruits, makes a .most tasty cocktail. A canned pear, peach, a bit of pineap- pie ttlttL. fipma olLthe, fruit Juice win make a most delectable cqcktall. t Sometimes the addition of a fresh orange will add to the flavor, with a cherry or two for color. When something different is wanted for a vegetable try: Celery au Gratin. Cut the celery into email -bits and cook In boiling salted water‘tnrtll ten der but not too soft. Drain and place In a baking dish with a rich -white sauce, a layer of each and top with the celery, covered with a half-inch top of buttered crumbs. Bake In a hot oven until the crumbs are brown. ' Add grated cheese for a more nourish ing dish, which. If a cupful of cheese is used, will do for a main dish at luncheon. Od4 of these chill days serve fried salt pork with cream gravy, baked potatoea and onions and apples cooked together In a small amount of sweet fat. If the apples are very jfart add a little sugar which will also add to the flavor and color. Cook the onions ' until abouf half done before adding the apples sliced. Serve as a stable. The dally serving of lettuce, green vegetables such as cabbage, endive or cooked spinach or chard is most Im portant for the health of the family. a Dress the lettuce simply with hot bacon fat and a dash of vinegar or lemon juice, or melted butter, hot. If bacon Is not liked. Then the old-fash ioned way of serving lettuce with Just sugar and. vinegar Is one of which few ever tire.

At any rate, here’s one we shard with the women of the Belgian Congo. From my observation of selfish, extrava gant women who keep their hus bands’ noses to-the grindstone, and then others who try to be real part ners and helpmeets, I have many times been ready to conclude that men do indeed value their wives, not according to What those wives do for’them, but according to what they cost them. The more expensive they are the more they love them. “What do you think about It?" The above query was received by a woman writer of note, who answers as follows: We have all seen cases In point of our reader’s argument We have seen women who apparently gave nothing and got everything; women whose first, second and last thought was of themselves, not only indulged but adored by the men whom they were not giving a square deal. On the other hand we have seen wives who stinted thefaisdlves to help their men get on, who worked and saved and slaved for them, who apparerftly had no appreciation from their husbands, even, sometimes, suffered shameful neglect nt their hands. But It is very difficult to general ize about these things. Sometimes a woman who Is selfish and therefore would rate low according to the ac cepted standards of a good wife, ac tually succeeds in making a man hap py to a greater extent; than her self- sacrlflclng sister who falls in some other quality which her husband re quires for content and happiness. - After all, the things which make men and women happy are those which fill the^requlrements of their Individual natures>. In spite of the fact that it is not to their best Inter ests, there are men who are willing to spend their lives In the service of the bHl collector to come home to a care free. Jolly, amusing woman*,and who would, be made perfec^a miser able by the unselfish though more serious-minded type whom a differ ent man might regard as the Ideal wife and mother. The trouble with women who spend their lives on the altar of sacrifice and duty la fre quently that they are no less exact ing with others. And most men find It irksome to .t>e held to the line of such rigorous standards. The Ideal wife, of course, like the Ideal husband. Is the one who has the happy and delightful mixture of qualities that is neither too good nor too bad, that makes her fun to live with at a not too great price. e Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.
