been captive from his babyhood?
Generations of wild ancestors had
made the memory for him. He knew
tat out in the shadows crept small,
tii.li animals 'icn henceforth would
be his prey; that in the side of one of
tlese gravcly knobs would be his bur-
ro7-, and that he should run over miles
of prairie with no one to check him
again.
The rosy glow Of the setting sun
cleaned across tee river and flickered
among the thin fringe of trees. The
light gradually faded; Gro long the
moon rose over the eastern prairies,
and chilly wind began to blow. Yet,
with ecstatic joy in his heart the coy
ote lifted up his voice in the wierd,
whining song of his race. Beck from
q ridge far toward the north came an
answering uncanny howl, like the very
echo of his own. Cry answered cry,
and the rabbit hurriedly sought his
burrow, while prairie chicken and quail
crouched close to tho ground as over
the bare hills two stealthily trotting
forms sought each other.-Eff1e w.

"oLD NANNY rIPsYToEs!"

Often, on some sunny day,
When little girls come out to play,
You'll see one strutting, head held
high,
While after her, with hooking cry,
Her little playmates hurry by.
Suddenly she turns about
And puts the hacking throng to route.
They's playing every toddler knows,
The game "Old Nanny Tipsytoes!
Now, who was Nanny Tipsytoes? ?"
Where did she live, do you suppose?
Was she duchess stiff and proud
That children mocked with jeering
loud?
And did she turn and chase the crowd?
If she caught one-what did she do?
l don't know, and so ask you.
Is there some little girl who knows
Who was Nanny Tipsytoes?"

THE RETURN " NE COYOTE.

A sad little coyote lay stretched on
the ground in front Of an old dog ken.
mel, to which he was securely chained
He seemed to be asleep, but now and
tLen his bright eyes opened just
enough to enable him to see that the
chickens were gradually moving in
his direction. and they were among
the few things that made life inter.
esting to him. Only two days before
he had caught particularly stupid
old hen that had chosen the bare spot
on one side of his kennel as a good
spot for dust bath. The Joy of that
sudden leap and clutch more than COM
pensated for the few blows he receiv-
led.
The coyote did not often lie quietly
in the sun with nose stretched out on
the ground; he was more likely to be
found moving restlessly back and
forth the length Of his chain. and was
always delighted to frolic with any one
of the family who would stop to pet
him. He played with the children like
an unusually lively and mischievous
dog, jumping up like puppy, and de-
lighting to get grip Of their clothing
in his teeth. He was particularly
found of the children's mother. and
would stand up on his hind legs to lean
against her while she rubbed his neck
He had been named Goldie, though
his coat was greyish-yellow, with
here and there few black hairs, while
his bushy tail was tipped with black
In the last few weeks, since the
snow melte1 and the air grew warmer
every day, strange feeling had come
over the young coyote; feeling that
he was just going to remember some
thing very beautiful that happened a
long time ago, memory that seemed
to call him to some far-off land, YET
was so indistinct as to be almost mad
dening. The night before, when the
moon came up, the wild ducks, as they
flew toward the river calling to eact
other, almost told him the elusive Sc
cret, and he had called back in long
wailing howls-his first weird nigh
song.
His friend, the black cat saunteret
along the walk and stopped for q
morning chat. H, liked the cat much
better than the fat dog next door, fol
cats are SO tame and respectable a!
they look, and the black understood
his restfulness, while he felt that re
sentiment toward the dog thai one feel!
toward him who ought to understand
but does not.
So that morning Goldie told the ca
how disturbed and unhappy he fel
about that long-ago life which he coule
not quite remember, except that hi
was sure that when he did not wear ;
chain, and that he ran very fast ant
far. The first thing he plainly remem
bered was, that once he was very lit

THE CONTEST.

Dear Juniors: Today we q re only
publishing g few of the stories entitled
Theodore Roosevelt" because we do
not want to have too many of the same
stories at one time. We will not tell
the name Of the Junior sending in the
longest list Of the names Of cities
until the close Of this contest.
The editor would like to have the
Juniors working in the contest for the
prize (either watch, locket or cross)
to be more prompt and send in their
work earlier. We announce the sub
jects two weeks ahead so the Juniors
must not wait until the last minute to
send in their letters or stories. Some
delay might occur in the mail caused
by the trains being late, and then you
could not be ranked among the con.
testants.

The subjects for the week ending
Friday morning, Sept. IA, are:
my Favorite Season of the Year."

do you like to see the honor roll
each week, even if your own name is
not on it,"
The editor wants all Of the Juniors
