He had chuckled as he saw the tip of Billys tail disappear. You see, it was to get Billy over to the house that he had made friends with Billy. You remember that for days the farmer had placed food for Billy close to the woodpile under which Billy was living. On this particular morning he had tied a big piece of fish to a string and then had dragged it from the place where he usually left Billys meals over to the hole under the shed. There he had left the piece of fish. When Billy had come out from under the woodpile for his breakfast, there had been no breakfast there. But it hadnt taken him long to find the trail of that piece of fish where it had. been dragged over the ground, and with his wonderful nose he had followed the trail straight over to the hole under the shed. Now you know the farmers house was overrun with rats, the rats Billy Mink had driven out of the barn. The farmer hoped that if he could get Billy over to the house he would follow those rats and drive them out just as he had driven them out of the barn. That is why the farmer chuckled when he saw Billy Mink disappear through that hole under the floor of the shed. ; For a long time the farmer kept watch, but he was disappointed. Nothing happened. You see, Billy Mink, having eaten a hearty breakfast, had curled up for a nap under the floor of the shed. The farmer didnt know this, and so at last he concluded that somehow Billy Mink had slipped out unseen. I did hope that little brown rascal would drive ! New Fashion Twist - -- f - those rats out, muttered the farmer as he went about his work. It was some time later in the day that the farmer went to the barn door and glanced over toward the house. Then it was that he saw a strange sight, a very strange sight, indeed. Out from that hole through which Billy Mink had entered came a crowd of rats. There were big rats, little rats and middle-size- d rats. There were gray old grand-fathrats, and sleek young rats. Never had the farmer seen so many rats at one time. - And it was plain to see that those rats were in a terrible fright. They were squeaking and squealing with fear, and every one of them was running as fast as he could. They scattered in all directions. Some made for the big barn, some made for the woodpile, some made for the henhouse, and others started off straight toward the next farm. best Douglas Malloch. that after twenty-foyears in pic- tures, just signed a new contract with Columbia to make six Westerns Holt, . , B B B B B B IFlIiPStt People who push themselves, says soliloquizing.

'"k AM B EXPOSED WOOD PORCHES a house that sooner or APART isof almost certain to give trouble is an open wood porch. As porches are usually, built, even .the best of floor paint will not last for more than a year or two, and wood steps and their supports are likely to rot where they rest on the earth. Water soaking ipto cracks between floor boards and under the edges of a porch also leads to rotting. In building a new porch or in making repairs, this damage can be largely offset through the use of proper materials and methods. Some kinds of wood are much more resistant to rotting than others. Two woods are redof these wood and cypress. One or the other should be used for the steps and other parts that are in contact with the earth. Heavy painting with creosote will protect any kind of wood from rotting. . All of the wood used in building an open porch should be ' that is, all parts, backs and edges, should be given a coat of paint as a protection against moisture. Any kind of good paint can b used; aluminum paint is excellent, and so is white lead thinned with linseed oil to the consistency ' of thick paint. . In laying the floor, which is usually made of strips, the strips should be driven tightly together. As the joints are filled with paint, they will bo closely bound, and cracks between boards are not likely to develop. Built in this way,, floor paint will last for. several seasons instead of but one or two. The failure of paint on the floor of an open porch is due to the soaking of water into cracks between boards. ThO wqqd ; absorbs the moisture, which on ary and hot days is drawn out through the top surface of the boards. It is this that loOseris floor; paint. With the joints closed with paint, and the board prevented . nt from, shrinking, this effect cannot take place. ; The bottoms of porch columns should be so finished that water cannot collect under them. They can be bedded in white lead, and further protected by strips of quarter-roun- d or other molding, also laid in white lead. , The joints between the ends of porch railings and the columns or other parts that' support them should be treated in the' same way. Very commonly these joints open, and there will be rotting as water soaks in. Should these open joints appear, they should be packed with white lead, calking compound, or something similar. With such precautions, repairs to a porch can be averted almost indefinitely. ' - By Roger B. Whitman .
