fuzzy. brown cub that was balancing
himself on the edge of the swimming
pool within the bear cage while several
of the older, grown-up bears seemed
to be trying to push him off into the
water
''Sh-s-s-shr' cautioned the Old Man
in low voice. That's little Brownie.
He's just bear cub, a real little fell
low, and he's never been in swimming
He's afraid too-just like little boys

Jaw, you're a nice bear, you are!"
grumbled a huge, deep, gruf voice
that came from the shaggy, fierce
looking bear on the right of the poor,
trembling little fellow. "Humph!
Nice bear you'll be, won't you. when
you grow up and are scared of the
water! Humphl You're afraid of
your own shadow! You ought to have
been a little boy-you're just like most
of them, afraid to stay alone in a dark

how deep that water is! I've seen

How Would You Like
To Live On Stills

& UST about now, a good many lusty
boys are getting their last sum-
- mer's stilts out of the attic and
"practicing up bit; and even the
girls-that Is. certain ones of them who
are generally called Tom boys'--are
gazing longingly at young Robert or
freokled-face Fred as he pegs along
as fearless as you please. on his stills
and tries to look for all the world as
though 1t were just as easy as walk
ing the way Nature intended him to
do.
But what would you say IL you
should visit a land where everybody
the grown-ups as well as the children
walks on stills all the time? And
never even think of going out Of
doors without them?
Well, let's seat ourselves on magic
carpet--like the one in the old fairy
tale, you remember-that can whisk
US through the air in a jiffy and land
us wherever we please without even
jarring us-much less sending us hurt
ling. bumpitty- bump to earth.
Here-here we are now-not very
far from a little village in France
named Bayonne. Goodness-look
over therel Why It's young woman
walking calmly along by the side of
young man and laughing and chatting
with him-and they both are on stills
that make them twelve feet tall
And-mercy me--just over yonder is

too. is perohed high up in the air on a
pair of stilts strapped to his legs from
tho ankle to the knee!
Now look to your right and you
will see man out hunting wild ducks
--on stills! And, turn again, over by
that pine tree are a boy and girl, not
any older than you are, playing tag"
on stilts! Look! See how she runs
and Jumps and lodges him--just as
easily as you can when you're on the
groundi Watch-there-he's caught
heri Ohl See. he has grabbed her
By the shoulder and spun her around
--oh, she's going to fall!
But no. see, she's wriggled out Of his
grasp and is of again Sakes alive.
there are several little boys in our
neighborhood at home who think they
are champion walkers on stills, don't
they? Humphl What do you sup
pose they'd say II they could see these
people.
Surely this Is a strange land with
everyone you meet trudging along
high in air. No. they are not simply
playing. Indeed no! Their stilts are
as necessary to them as your shoes
are to you. And they use them not
because they like to, but because they
have to.

one bit scared. Watch him! He likes

fists "'Deed I did, and I saw one of

How Brownie Learned To Swim

IA URSE had seated herself on a
V bench facing the big, outdoor
cage in which the bears were
y II kept at the Zoo and she was en-
joying a chat with the handsome keep
or. True, she Kept one eye on little
Donald and told him he might walk
right up to the railing and watch the
fuzzy brown bears as they frolicked in
the warm sunshine. But, presently,
as, alas. even the best of nurses will
do sometimes, she became more in
terested in what the big, handsome
keeper in his shiny gold-buttons was
saying to her than in her charge-so
she failed to see all the wonderful
things that happened to Donald. And
they were indeed wonderful. as you
will see for yourself If you read lit
tie further.
To begin with, Donald trotted up
to the cage, feeling mighty proud and
happy that he could watch the great,
fuzzy bears all by himself. He was a
little scared, too, even though he pre-
tended not to be. for usually he held
tight to Nurses or Papa's hand when
looking at the bears.
And who wouldn't be frightened
just u WSo liLtlc biL oily Wdy@ll he
happened to think that all that sep
arated him from those long, cruel
claws and those sharp, flashing teeth
was a few iron bars not as big .ound
as your arm!
So don't feel that Donald was moth
ing but baby" just because his little
knees wobbled and his heart kind of
jumped way up in his throat-maybe
you would have been even more scared
than he was!
uddenly-though the little boy had
really been watching the bears roll
about and wrestle with each other for
an awfully long time-suddenly Dom
aid heard voice calling him:
Hello, Donaldl Hello. little mani"
1t said. Don't you know me? Here
look here-right down at your feet!
Well, well. I thought sure you'd not
forget me after our nice little cat the
other week when told you why
monkeys have curls in their tails
I'm the Old Man of the Woods"
"Ohl" cried Donald, really delighted
but feeling dreadfully ashamed that he
had failed to recognize his strange
friend. And he was strange, too, oh,
so queer looking! He had a funny,
knobby little head as bald as billiard
