The other chewed a straw reflec tively. ."O. well, he's Just a boy's dog," he answered. "Besides, no body raises chickens hereabouts." "And Moses?" "Ha, ha! You'd have to be smart to catch Moses. Why, all ha does Is Just stand outside and whistle." "You haven't got a gun, have you?" demanded John quietly. "Well, yes," admitted the other. "But I wouldn't shoot old Jim, If I was you. He's a real boy's dog." "What do you mean by that?' asked John. A piercing scream from the bot- torn of the garden answered him. Mary came running from the house. "Bobby!" she gasped. They raced together toward the duck pond. On the brink sat Bobby, very wet and very much terrified. Beside him, licking the boy's face and wag ging his tail, sat Charlie, also wet There was a rent in Bobby's pinafore, where Charlie's teeth had met to drag him from the water. Mary Walton caught Bobby In her arms and Charlie Jumped gleefully beside her. In silence the four re turned to where their neisrhbor stood. Then John Walton stooped down and laid his hand caressingly on Cbarlle's head. "Never mind that gun. neighbor." he said. "I guess I know what you mean now. By the way. do you know anybody who wants the gift of a rooster?" I guess old Moses mieht take him," answer the other, chewing Kathleen Norris Says: Iists, profits. The day after the purchase, how ever, there were one rooster and nine hens. The next day there were one rooster and eight hens, and a week later there were one forlorn and angry-lookin- g rooster and two hens, which went about their do main with an apprehensive air. "It's the pip," announced John, after studying them intently. "But pip doesn't obliterate them, asked Mary. does It, John?" "Wouldn't there be something left to show?" "Then it's thieves," said John ex ultantly. "Now I've got it I'll get a gun." Mary was afraid of guns and wanted to insure their lives Instead. But John was scornful of this propo sition. It was to a gun or a dog, A gun cost $15, and a dog, a good dog not a thoroughbred, but Just a good, square, honest dog, might be had for less. John couldn't make up his mind. Providently, as it seemed, it was made up for him. That evening an elderly darky ap peared t the front door. "Vo don' want to buy a good houn', do you, boss?" he Inquired, pulling at a length of string, from the far end of which a yelping sound was heard. The yelping became more audible, and after a few yards had been drawn in a yellowish par allelogram came Into view. "Lay down, Charlie," his master "Ah'll let yo' have commanded. mis houn' for five dollars, boss, "He's a good aid the Negro. watch dog an yo won't be troubled by no thieves when he's around." The yellow parallelogram came forward and stuck his nose Into the ends of John's trousers. "Oh!" cried Bobby, and the next moment the two were rolling over and over in playful happiness, such as a dog and a boy can ever attain. This clinched the bargain. "Now we can get some more chickens," said John, and the giant rooster was comforted by the presence of an other half dozen hens. "I see you've bought Jim," said their neighbor looking over the fence next morning. "Regular boy's dog. ain't he?" "My dog is named Charlie," responded John with dignity. "Suit yourself, neighbor," replied "He was called Jim the other. when I had him." John was a little mystified, but the sterling qualities of Charlie quickly assured him of his wisdom in purchasing him. Did any stranger draw near the house, Charlie's fangs were bared and his growls gave evidence of danger to all predatory persons who dared to molest the sanctity of the Walton home. However, a week later, to Mary's consternation, when she approached the chicken pen the gigantic rooster stood gazing upon her in affronted dignity. And not a single hen was visible. "John, they've stolen all my hens!" she cried, almost in tears. "What's the good of Charlie if he doesn't keep guard over the chicken house? I thought he was such a good dog, too." The mystery was solved by the He came disagreeable neighbor. over the fence later in the day. "Lost your hens, hain't you?" he asked of John, with friendly interest "I'd had liked to warn you, only you seemed huffy about that dog." "What do you mean?" asked John, quite humbly this time. "Well," said the other, "Jim's been owned by quite a good many folks hereabouts. He's a chicken dog." "A chicken dog!" exclaimed John Walton. "Yes, sir. Old Moses trained him to steal chickens aivee he was a pup. He sells him rowsdt ind when Moses comes for his dinner Jim knows him and helps round 'em up. Then he goes back home. I guess Moses has sold Jim half a dozen times since I've been here." "Do you mean to say that Infernal (BU Syndicate Hi WWU Service.) STME-vSCRElk- $ffl0 !

She is 32, has been married eight years, and she says she is scared. "Dan and I married for love, and for six or seven months we revelled in our love and home and plans," she writes. "But before the first anniversary Dan was deeply attracted to one of the nurses in his uncles' office. He works with two dentist uncles. The affair worried him, made him ashamed and unhappy; presently the girl married and Dan got over it But It shook the ground under my feet and I never felt quite the same confidence in him again. "He was thrilled when our little boy was born, and said he hoped we would have three or four children. But Peter was not a year old when I went away to the country for three weeks and during my absence Dan carried on an affair with a divorced woman, who had always said she was my friend. When I got home he confessed that he had been carried away by temporary emotional excitement and that It was over. but Mrs. B. came to see me, show ing me a letter in which Dan had written that if I would give him a divorce they could be married.

I know your advice. I've been reading your column all my married life. I know all about being independent of anyone else for my happiness, and building a life around myself and my boys. But what I want to ask is, what is marriage? If it is a relationship that nine times out of ten grows irksome and stupid to both parties after a few years, and is maintained only because of children, or society, or family dignity, or business considerations, isn't it a failure? Most of my friends are already taking a sort of serio comic attitude toward their mates. To a great many of them the sud den ending of the married state, through any cause, would be a great relief. Don't you believe this is true of all but the exceptional mar riages? The husband enduring all sorts of defects in his wife, the wife setting her teeth to force herself to put up with her man's limitations, peculiarities and general cussedness. "What's the answer, if this is true?

Stigma of Divorce Removed. Truly today's husband is a' little more trying along these lines than his father was, because of social changes in the last 50 years. With divorce so common an escape, marriage has Indeed come to be something of what Mary hints, at least to those whose religious scruples do not prohibit divorce. Many a marriage breaks up in its fourth, or fifth, or seventh year, and many state laws insist upon a period during which the couple, who seek divorce, may have a chance to think things over in cool blood. Fifty years ago a husband had to stand by his wife, and a wife by her home and children, for divorce carries a bitter stigma, and few women could become These re strictions are swept away now, an enormous percentage of 'he names in the Social Register are those of divorced men and women, and what the Social Register does the less-prominent circles think it right to do. So that the flirtatious detached woman your husband meets in his business may well feel that she is free to win him and hold him. There were abuses and difficul ties and domestic martyrs in the old days, of course. But also there was stability, there was security, and both those things are very valu able. The disappointed wife turned her spurned affections to other things, she grew all the stronger and more as she abandoned the futile chase toward "happiness," and learned to make other people happy instead of herself. And even today in her home and garden and kitchen, with her books, pets, children, friendships, with the letter-writin- g that was so remark able a feature of a woman's life a hundred years ago, and today with movies, motor trips, radio, with all the world's best music boxed for her convenience and with small neighbors needing mothering, any woman can form for herself a life of beauty and use and content Inside of the Jail that she calls mar riage, more easily than outside it self-relia- CHEMICAL ANALYSIS Wheat teeted tor protein Sl.Nl Chemical anaiyile of room, stock and roomy reuse.
