The jealous little mother guarded them like precious jewels and cared for them as if they were bits of frail china. Some mothers dogs are very rough with their young ones and push them about or lift them by a hind leg, but not so with Pokee. She was very kind and patient with her three children, She washed them a doz- en times a day until they looked like wet little mice. "Well, mouldy goat skins," said Patsy, as she stopped long enough by the little pen to watch one of these operations. "If she's not careful she'll get them so wet they'll think they are ducks and first thing she knows, theyll be running to the fish pond and plopping in!" "I suppose they must be wash- ed" Fudgee added, as she joined Patsy to watch the proceedings. After all they can't very well be dry cleaned, can they now?" "Oh stuff and things and non- sense," said Patsy. "So much laundry work on them can't be good for them. It's just red tape, that's what it is--red tape." Pokee pretended not to hear the watching pair. She kept right on with her job, turning her back on her mother and that aggravat- ing sister. Three days later we had to make a short trip to Napanee. We planned to be gone for two days and two nights. Patsy, of course was going with us and we decid- ed to take Fudgee too. But Pokee and the puppies would have to stay at home. I told Po that we were leaving her and that we'd be back in a couple of days. "Yes, yes, I know," Pokee said, as she peered out of the front of the litter pen. "You're sorting:the sheep from the goats and, as it turns out, 'I am the goat. But think not of me. It's all right, go The Cookee Column Book Three, Entitled: POPO RETURNS BY HERBERT C. MERRY a goat!" "Youll be all right," I comfort- ed her. "Clarence, the garden boy will be here to let you out each day and hell feed you too." "He'd better stay out of here," growled Pokee. "If he cares for his legs and doesn't want to use a cruteh, or a wooden leg, or imp or hobble for the rest of his life. Il bite him, I will. I'll bite him!

It must have s@emed a long time to Popo. She missed us greatly and was so pleased to see us back that she stepped all over her rolly-polly kids in her excite: ment. They squealed and Po growled and we laughed. Clarence reported that he'd had an awful time. Pokee had mot bit- ten him as she promised but had || tried her very best to do so. She had been so miserable and was so menacing, that poor Clarence didn't dare put her food into the pen to her. He put the dish down on the floor and pushed it in with the broom. When Po had fin- (| ished her meal, he used the gar- den rake to pull the empty dish out again. Jackadoo had behaved well, Clarence told us, but Pokee acted like a mad little tigress. "You should really be ashamed of yourself," I told her. "Imagine treating poor Clarence like that. What on earth did he ever do to you that you spite on him?" "It isn't what he did. It isn't what he did!" Popo kept repeat- ing irritably. "It's what he might have done. Why for all I know, he might have come right into the pen and eaten my children. How would you like to have come home and found out that he'd eat- en Susie Barkel? Well, he didn't! I made sure of that! I was as fierce as 1 could be and I think 1 scared him most to death." "Oh pigs ears In grayy,' moan- ed Patsy, as she listened to Po- po's tirade, "What did I ever do to deserve such acting peeps for children? I mever get upset like that . . . I just do nothing and no one says." "Oh pay no never mind to me," said Pokee. "You know I'm a L.B. on the S.S. and besides that, I'm BY MAX TRELL Knarf and Hanid, the shad- ow children with the turned-about names, were starting to take thelr morning walk when they suddenly noticed someone standing on the chimney of the house. On looking closer they recog: nized their friend, Mr. Merlin, the Magician. "Hello!" Mr. Merlin called to them, "Where are you going?" "We're going for our walk!" Knarf called back. : "would you like to come along' with us, Mr. Merlin?" Hanid shouted to him. "No!" returned Mr. Merlin. "But why don't you come up here? I'm going for a smoke ride. I'll be glad to have you come with me!" A 'Smoke Ride Knarf and Hanid had never heard of anyone taking a smoke ride. They didn't even know what it meant. What they did know was that Mr. Merlin, being a ma- gician, generally meant what he said even though what he said sounded pretty curious. Someone Was On The Chimney IT WAS MERLIN LEAVING FOR A SMOKE RIDE Merlin and the smoke car tion, sat down beside him. "Here we go!" cried Mr. Merlin. Top of Tree "Nothing pleasanter than rid- ing in a smoke' car," remarked Mr. Merlin, "Hold on!" he shout- ed as they went skidding around the top of a tree. "Will you let me drive?" Knarf asked Mr. Merlin. "Certainly," said Mr. Merlin. And instantly the Steering wheel "All right!" Knarf shouted up to Mr. Merlin on the chimney. "How do we get up there?" At this Mr. Merlin reached into his coat-pocket and tossed down one end of a long rope ladder. Tt reached right to the ground. The upper end Mr. Merlin tied secur- ely to one of the bricks in the chimney, "Climb up!" he said to his life. I'll fix him, I will." She several times just at the mere though of what she was going to do to poor Clar- to her," Patsy warned. "She loves to tell what she will do and what she won't do but her growl is much worse Next morning we left on our trip. We'd given Clarence careful to feed Pokee and when. He was also to feed Jackadoo the Parakeet and eye on things the childreh. After they had climbed up to where Mr. Merlin was, the ma- gician rolled the ladder up into a ball and put it in his pocket. "The smoke car will be along any minute now," Mr. Merlin said. "They are starting the fire in the furnace now." Hardly had Mr. Merlin said this when a puff of black smoke rose out of the chimney. "Ah, here we are!" he exclaimed, reaching out for it and pulling it over. He gave the puff of smoke a pat here and a pull there and to the astonish- | ment of Knarf and Hanid, the was in front of Knarf. Hanid had her chance, too to, drive the smoke car. They drove around in the air over the neighborhoor, stopping to visit several birds' mests, church steeples, telegraph poles and light- ning rods. 3 Mr. Merlin looked at his watch. "Time for dinner," he said simply. Then he steered the smoke car down to the lawn, they all stepped out, Mr. Merlin then gave a wave with his hand and the smoke car vanished. "The best thing about a smoke car," he said, "is that you don't need to keep it in a garage. You just wave it away, and get a new one from the chimney when- ever there's a fire in the furnace. Nothing to it at all!" DELBERT DOWNS wishes to announce he has installed a SEED TREATER puff of black smoke all at once looked like an automobile, seats, and wheels and a steering wheel.
