Long time ago. after the earth was
made and hung up from the four cor

came down from the place above the
great arch and set the sun seven hand

But they found that the world was
cold, and they needed fire.
Up above, the Thunders listened to
the talk Of the animals. and sent their
lightning down to put fire into the
bottom of hollow tree which was
growing on the earth. The tree was
on a small island, and when the AMI.
mails saw smoke coming out OF 1t, they
knew that fire was there. :.
How are we to get the fire?" they
asked each other. and they called a
council to decide.
Every animal that could swim said.
Il will go and get the fire." Every
bird that could fly said. II will co." The

and then he saw something fly along
over his head. Nick is q dog and his
business In life is hunting birds with
his master. Nick saw the something
above his head and quite naturally
thought 1t was bird. So he set of
to catch the bird. He did not stop to
remember that he was in drug store
with his master and that drug store
is not proper place to hunt in. He
was thinking only of the bird. Over
counters and displays he went, scat
tering bottles and packages that drug
stores usually have set out for people
to buy, and he ended the chase at the
cashiers desk. There the bird had
stopped. and as his master and the
store proprietor came running through
the ruins Nick had made, Nick under

basket that runs on wires from the
sales counter to the cashiers desk
and back again.

TIL the sun was high John Valiant
lay on his back in the fragrant grass
meditatively watching a bucaneerine
chicken-hawk draw widening circles
against the blue and listening to the
vibrant tattoo Of 'pecker-wood" on
faraway tree, and the timorous wet
whistle OF bob-white. The whole
place was very quiet now. For Just
one thrilling moment It had burgeoned
into sound and movement: when the
sweaty horses had stood snorting and
stamping in the yard with the hounds
scampering between their legs and the
ridingcoats winking like rubies In the
early sunshine!
Had she recognized him as the
smudged tinkerer Of the stalled car?

over the last-years leaves beyond the

said. peering out smilingly as two
children. pursued and pursuer, burst
into view. "Hush!" she whispered;
Il wonder what they are up to-"
The pair came In a whirl through
the bushes. The foremost was a
seven-year-old negro girl. in single

barelegged and bareheaded, her black
wool parted in little angular patches
and tightly wrapped with bits of cord.
The other was white and as freckled

had been deeply ensanguined by poke

when they got to the tree the fire was
burning 30 fiercely that the smoke
nearly blinded them, and the ashes
whirled up and made white rings

crawled through the grass to the foot
Of the tree, and went in by a small
hole at the bottom. But, inside, It was
too hot for him: he twisted and lodged
over the hot ashes until he was almost
on fire. and then he managed to find
the hole again. He has been black
ever since, and has kept the trick Of

Then the great black snake. "the

fell into the blaze when he put his
head over the top Of the burning tree
and was scorched dull black.
After the animals had held another
council, 1t was found that all were
afraid to go-all but the little water
spider. She said. II can either go over
the water or under 1t. and am sure
that can get the fire."
But how can you bring 1t back?"
the animals asked.
Il can attend to that" said she. And
she spun thread from her body and
wove 1t into the shape of a tiny bowl.
This bowl she fastened on her back.
and then crossed over to the island.
She came to the foot of the burning
tree. raked out one little coal and put
1t In the tiny basket on her back. Then
she skipped across the water and de-
livered the fire. It has been burning
ever since. and. ever since, the little
water spider has kept her bowl on her
back.
