But the average man cares very Httla

women-never. They do not want to be
troubled with the solid, heavy reading
matter Of the nations and are perfectly
happy with the light fiction OF the day.

year-old. He tackled a big black bear
just because he was mad with other
things in general, and the bear licked
him good for his presumption and left
him neck-wounded and heart-sulky for
many weeks. Then he fought a big
fulI-grown moose just because he was
angry at fate, and the bull moose
thrashed him into deeper dudgeon.
Then ne sulked in the thickets for a
whole year, till his neck grew thicker
and sitter and his horns stouter and
more dangerous and his temper more
terrible. So he emerged the next spring
a ear-old-bullhood was fully
come.
But he was lonely and restless: he
wanted something he could not find.
No lowing responded when he beloved.
He found a female moose alone, await
ing a mate. He wooed her. Frightened
at his strangely alien look and terrible
angry head, she refused him.
Then it dawned upon his dull brute
brain that he was indeed the "alien

temper loose in rampage and browbeat
bullfully everything he could find; tore
every bear that crossed his trail; hurled
all the hell that resided in his big neck
into the hide of every bull moose who
yentured on his chosen range.
Then he picked out high hill place
which he would go to every morning
and evening, and there. with his big
black head silhouetted against the sky
line, he would below forth his rage and
defiance. Translated into human words
his bellowings there would have re-

The next sample is much better. It
is called the ALLEN Of the Wild" and
this title is apt, attention-catching and
fitting to the body of the tale. 1t is
about bull. and there is a good pic
ture Of bull that goes with 1t, done by
the artist, Charles Livingstone Bull.
This bull is born of a COW as she fled
affrighted before forest fire which de-
stroyed her home shed-shelter and pro-
tected pasture forever, and sent her
wandering in the wilderness, where this
bull calf, the ALLEN of the Wild" came

forth to the light Of day. The wild deni-
zens of the forest were superstitious
about the bell the mother wore, and the
rattle Of 1t drove them off in panic

browsing. So the bull calf had time to
come 10 the strength of bullhood.
The first tragedy Of his life was when
the Indians shot his mother, and shud-

would below out his pain and loss and
loneliness, and call to her in vain for

big black head to the light Of the set
ting sun and curses and challenges
everything in sight. That Is the pic
ture the authors words have coniured
up before our Imagination. and that is
the dramatic moment the artists pen
ell has chosen to depict.
One day the lordly bull. believing an
grily across his range, saw two hunt
ers coming down the river in a boat
He remembers we'll the look and smell
Of that breed of creatures; it was
men who murdered his mother: their
guns had first taught him the scent
of blood and made him the alien Of the
wild. He rushes to the river brink and
bellows out a challenge. A rife rises
to a hunters shoulder. Is this the end
Of the authors art? Not yet.
Let him alone, says the other hunter.
They did not want bull meat. Down
the stream they padded and the bull
followed believing at intervals and be-
tween times painting with pent-up rage.
He was at enmity with all the world
Hating every creature OF the wilderness
who held aloof from him as an alien:
mad with men because they had mur-
dered his mother; mad with the female
moose because she had the unkind folly
to refuse him; mad with the wilder
ness for sending nothing out OF its
depths fit to fight him; feeling strong
and mad enough to rip UP the bowels OF
mighty mother earth herself; so he fol-
lowed the boat.
But in his pursuit Of the boat he
chanced to come upon feeding herd
of cattle. and felt the call OF his kind
