He , had come home to an empty house nhcn he had expected to find Mrs. Joe theme. Nothing is so empty as .-in empty house. At first he hadn't uurried at 'all. She probably was out fishing or on a little trip. But it hen several days had passed and she hadn't: come home he began to worry. He started out to look for her. He visited allythe places uh:-re he thought she might be or had been Once in an old deserted ticn in a high bank. and one in a his hollow tree with an opening at the bottom. he found just the faintest scent that told him Mrs. Joe had been there. Outside he couldn't find her scent anywhere. That was because there had been a heavy rain. It had washed away all the scent. Little Joe was trying to make up his mind if he should go way down to the Big River. Perhaps she had gone down there. Before doing this he decided he would pay the pond of Paddy the Beaver another visit. As a matter of fact there was more than one pond and he had visited only the one where Paddy was living. Paddy hadn't sccn anything of Mrs. Joe. so Lit- tle Joe hadn't looked around in that neighborhood. He had thought that if she had been therelPaddy unuld have known it. in the first pond was the big comfortable house of Paddy and Mrs. Paddy. The roof rounded high shove the ice. Little Joe knew that the entrance to it was down under water. lie didn't .stop there at nil. A short way up I ” llronk from this pond was another. it wasn't as big a pond. There uas no house in it ard no one liv- inging there. Little Joe looked around some distance back on one side of that pond. He found no signs that Mrs. Otter had been llicrc and he found no place that roulrl he used as 21 home. Then he . ('rfiN&:0fT the lcc and circled around on the other side of that pond.

He wrinkled his nose. There was familiar scent. it was the scent of Mrs. Joe. It was com- ing up through a knot-hole in the top of that old leg. Little Joe raced along to the end of the big log and leaned over. Then he jumped to the ground. That log was hollow. He looked in at the open end. Way back in the darnkness he thought he saw a pair of eyes. In a mom- ent he was sure of it. He didn't hesitate. He entered. "So. this is where you are!" said he. He fairly spat the words out. Mrs. Joe said nothing. She was curled up in a comfortable bed of dry leaves. She merely looked at Little Joe, then turned her back it him. "Why aren't you at home where i i l i W.C.T.U. sores MY CODE OF LIFE For me. I don't see why either smoking or drinking is at an necessa .7. Neither is natural. They are artificial means of try- ing to gain a sensation from life and will not give lasting satig- faction. 0ne's sensations, inner satisfactions. should be built upon things of the higher nature. Both drinking and smoking are the giving out of the life forces for nothing. Liquorgis like a rope tying a man down to self. I be- lieve the greatest satisfaction in life is the using of your talents and labor for the enjoyment and benefit of others. Liquor and smoking weaken the will power and limit one's aim for life. In my sphere I find it important to have a clear head. Without liquor and tobacco, and with. the right type of food. i have found that my health is bet- ter. Abstainers must not think it is a great thing they have done. but ratherithnt they have made it possible to do something more important. It is not what one does not do. but what one does that really counts. 1 have never taken alcohol or tobacco. This has but made it ,ossible for me.to bring music to others and enjoy health and have greater physical stamina for my work. I find natural foods more refreshing and invigorating. My code of life is: Not for the the benefit and help of mankind; not for the acquiring of money. but for the happiness of others. The smallest thing is worth while if done with this motive. but the biggest thing is small if achieved for personal gain or satisfaction. Men too often want to get for self rather than give.- Ventsislav Yankoff. you belong?" snarled Little Joe. He was so relieved that he was very, very angry. Relief sometimes has a funny way of showing it- self ln that manner. "I am at home,” replied Mrs. ti J : Joe mildly. ! "What do you mean?" snapped 1 Little Joe. "Just what I said. I am at home." . replied Mrs. Joe. and she certainly i looked very much so. BIGGEST VOLCANO World's largest volcano.
