Little Stories of
 66e Great War
AN ARMY OF GoDFATHERs.

RN OUR godfathers and godmothers' V you may not even know ~ whether you have any. or no but there is a certain new little Princess In Germany who can't help knowing when she grows up that she has quite few godfathers who are interested in her in that capacity. In fact. one would think she would be like "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe," and had so many children she didn't know what to do.
 For she has an army of godfathers, literally. A German paper announces that "in addition to other persons the Crown Prince and Princess of Ger many have chosen as god parents the whole of the Fifth Army, of which the Crown Prince is the head" This paper thinks it shows "a beautiful re- lationship of confidence between the leader and his army" Certainly 1t is a compliment. It all sounds like an old old fairy tale, like-of course like the golden-h haired girl baby who had eleven good fairy godmothers, and the twelfth came uninvited and spoilt the whole thing.
 But all the good soldier godfathers will send good wishes to their god- child, one may be sure. For every single one has been remembered-no one was left out.

 II am not so sure. Dawnmist," an- swered the Fairy Lady, that you have repented you of your rash act"
 "Oh I have. I have!" insisted the poor little creature. T will never, never again tear a flower to pieces. Indeed I'm sorry! Dreadfully sorry poor flower"
 The Fairy Lady looked at her moment quite solemnly, with her head cooked pertly on one side-very grave ly considering the matter.
 How long has it been," she asked, presently, "since you were banished from Fairyland and made to repent you in this fashion?'
 "One whole moon. Fairy Lady. and three rainbows." replied the tiny Dawnmist, in tears
 Goodness me-" thought Elise, what a queer way of reckoning time why doesn't she say so many days ?" E Well" said the Fairy Lady. If you are quite certain you realize how cruel 1t is to tear a flower to pieces, and if you are quite certain you will never, never do it again I guess may grant your request. There!"
 And as she waved her magic wand over poor little Dawnmist, behold. her altered garments left her and she was straightway attired in the finest of tairy costumes.
 "Oh," she cried 'I am so happy. am so happy." And. with that. she threw her arms around the Fairy

yards from the shore. Instantly the boy started to his feet, exclaiming:
 "Oh, lookl Didn't tell you to pull up that canoe?''
 ''I did, too," protested Bert.
 Well. you didn't half do it, and its fioated away. Now we're in a fix and we'll catch 1t when the men get back"
 And the gun is in it." said Bert, almost in a whisper.
 | Their alarm increased at the thought of the double loss and, run ming down to the landing place. they stood and looked helplessly at the drifting canoe.
 I'm going after it." suddenly an nounced Jack snatching up one of the paddles that lay at their feet.
 Bert wondered if Jack intended to swim, mechanically catching up the other paddle and following as the el- der boy waded into the shallow water. But Jacks plan. though extremely hazardous. was great deal less ab- surd His eye had fallen on a sec- tion of a cedar drift-log some fifteen feet long and foot or more in diam eter.
 I'm going to try padding out on this log" h.. said. You can't go.' he cried in instant disapproval, on seeing tpat Bert followed. Its too risky for you. You must stay here"

of their limbs, and rested, their spir- its rose, and Jack decided to skirt the southern shore on their return in or der to have the advantage of calmer water while they trolled.
 A second disaster overlook them as they rounded bend and Jack caught up the gun to shoot at a rising flock of ducks. In his eagerness and haste he acted very incautiously, and the first they laughed, but became very sober when 1t was found that the gun that did not belong to them had gone to the bottom.
 Fortunately the accident happened opposite a shelving beach in no great depth of water, and in padding over the spot and bending down to look, Jack distinctly saw the gun on the sandy bottom only about fifteen feet below him. It was useless to attempt to hook 1t and bring it up with the trolling line. and he determined to dive.
 Twice he failed, but the third time he swan along the bottom with his eyes open. saw the gun, gripped it., brought it to the surface put 1t into the waiting canoe, and then swan ashore.
 As they were returning campward. in quiet water along the southern shore, Jack padded and Bert held the trolling line. Passing beneath some high, cliff-like rocks where the water appeared to be very deep. they saw a deer come down to drink a short distance ahead. Jack stopped pad ding and caught up the gun, which had been wiped dry and freshly charged, but he did not shoot, fearing another accident and knowing that il would be Illegal at this season. The canoe came almost to a standstill and the trolling line sank to the bottom before the deer saw them and plunged into the brush.
 "Why didn't you wind in?" asked Jack, accusingly ''Now you'll get hung"
 q am hung-to a fish!" cried little Bert joyfully, as he pulled hard or the line.
 When lifted over the side of the canoe the prize proved to be a fine salmon trout of at least three pounds Suspecting that they had made an i'm portant discovery by accident, and that the way to take salmon-trout al present was to fish for them near tho bottom in deep water. Jack tied tho canoe to an overhanging branch of 2 stunted tree and explained his plan Then they put on fresh minnows

on again, and I can help you paddle"
 Jack mutely admitted that that would be an advantage, but still he's itated. He was willing to take the risks for himself but not for little Bert. Pushing the log out little way, he got astride of 1t and locked his feet beneath 1t. Without waiting for permission. Bert did likewise a couple of yards behind his friend, thrust his paddle hard against the bottom, and caused the log, which bore their combined weight, to begin to move out.
 "Get off and go back" commanded Jack, but Bert stayed on and padded hard instead and. reluctantly, the older boy yielded.
 In no great while both boys be- gan to repent of their daring enter prise, for it was difficult to keep the clumsy log headed in the right direc- tion, and the padding was very hard. The wind favored them. but in one particular this was a disadvantage, causing the empty bark canoe to drift much faster than they could paddle. Very soon they saw that the chase must continue all the way across the lake, a distance of nearly three miles. and such a prospect was alarming.
 When they had labored across about one-fourth of that distance, the canoe drifted behind the island near the centre of the lake and the hope that 1t had lodged there encouraged them to push on. But the work grew harder As they entered rougher water the log tended to roll under them and it became dinicult to keep their balance.
 Twice Bert fell off with a splash
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-09-12

and nearly lost his grip on his precious paddle in his struggles to climb on again. Once even the older and stronger boy fell off and had to swim after his floating paddle before strug- gling to regain his seat on the log. After what seemed ages of time they finally reached the island only to see the canoe more than half mile away. drifting rapidly toward the shore of the opposite mainland. Both boys were sorely disheartened, but it was as easy to go on now as to turn back and, after a short rest, they got as- tride of their cedar log again and forced their way out into the lake once more.
 How long they were in crossing to the mainland. where the wandering
