a human. When I was a very small
boy my big brother took me with him
to visit his best boy friend. This boy
raised buzzards as pets and had the
old ones belled. What is too nasty for
boy to do is not done, and that was
back in old Kentucky, the greatest
place in all the world.
There were views of other noun
tains in all directions and the. day
was pleasant, but it was one O'Clock
and l saw to the north of the noun
tain a farm house. Mr.. Boyett told
me Brother Trotter lived there and
it would be good place to get dinner.
| got dinner there. | wanted to go
to Shuck Spring. Mr.. Trotter told me
the direction about three miles north,
so I pulled out across the mountains
and creeks for it. [ crossed three
mountains and four creeks, I think it

top, which Mr.. Trotter said was two
miles away. The creeks were good
sized, too, and ran east and west be
tween the mountain ridges, so you can
form an idea that these ridges were
long. At each creek found drifts and
logs across them right at the places I
struck the mat. One of the widest
had a great long fat pine log reaching
to some rocks in the center of it
with another fat pine logs end lying
on the end of it, which caused me to-
be right sure the Wandering Fairy
had prepared my way for me, because
as high up and down the creeks as
could see were no other places
could cross without wading. I found
the spring all right, but could not
tell it from the other streams in every
hollow. Striking a course I soon
struck an old tramway and I decided
to follow it as it ran nearly east and
west. It proved to be the longest
abandoned tramway I ever walked
over. I found two or three spurs
which ran off to the south which
suppose ran to the railway, but this
was main line branch which kept
along the edge of the mountain brake
of the Fourehe River, I suppose, and
that is why I slept out of doors that
night. Anyway wanted to sleep out
of doors one night in a wild country
where l could hear the wolves howl
and the panthers scream and I sup
posed this was a wild country.
The night before during the storm
| dropped off to sleep and I heard a
woman telling some one, the Wander
ing Fairy I now suppose, that "His
mother would appreciate your looking
after him, In fact if you would under
take to care for and watch over him
his mother would never forget your
Kindness" SO I felt quite certain this
would be a safe time to stay out and
listen for them. AS I walked along
the old from in the dark I asked the
Wandering Fairy to show me some
rich pine and l would spend the night
right there. It was then that she
showed me q big old pine clay root

found some pine knots and built a
fire under the west side of it. 1t
burned like a fire place and one pine
knot in or under it would make the
finest and prettiest fire you ever saw,
for this was a fairy fire place, that
burned itself, but did not burn up, for
when / left it was better than when
first found it. 1t was followed out
by the fire underneath and the blaze
followed the semi-circular form of the
inside of my fire place to near the
upper edge of it where the log did not
burn, but merely checked the blaze
giving it a peculiar downward turn,
which. gave me the full benefit of the
flame. At the foot of the old log
flowed a pretty riyulet which quench-
ed my thirst and seemingly satisfied
my hunger, too, for it was a fairy
stream. Then on the old tramway
were a lot of old ties which the rain
had washed clean. laid two down in
front of the fire to- sleep on and stack
ed several up behind them for a wind
break and to confne the heat from
the fire which they did. I tell you it
was fine. Why, if I had the consump
ton such life would cure me. Next
morning at daybreak heard chickens
growing close by and right over the
little ridge between the tramway and
my fire was the home of J. H. Horton,
where there were two dogs, but there
were no wolves, panthers, nor any
thing bad near for them to bark at
and for that reason I did not hear
them, though I had listened for dogs
bark, for that's my way of telling, af-
ter dark, whether or not I am near a
settlement. Well [ got my breakfast
at Mr.. Horizons and learned I was
only three miles from Thornburg.
went there and as heard the bridges
were washed away I walked on to
Bellevue, where the train overlook me
and I rode to Wye.
Even though I had been in Fairy
land, guided and cared for by the best
of little fairies, I realized that
though it was very humble there was
no place like home, sweet home.

The Nation on a
War Basis

Back of the countless industrial and COM
mercial activities of the nation is military
necessity-an imposing re-dominating,
forcefu, exacting.
Just as the crowds on the streets are
sprin1led with men in uniforms, so the pres
ence of military forces and military needs have
changed the everyday problems of every
American.
No public service is more intimately associ-
ated with the life of each Individual than the
telephone business. Hence it has been among
the first to feel the stirring impulse of the
tmes-the first to be called on for unusual
service.
The call to arms brought to the Bell system
imperative duties and responsibilities From
the beginning it has supplied the countless
needs OF the government for service and equip
ment, and has met the increased requirements
OF commerce by a program of construction
never before equaled and by the conservation
Oh It's vast resources that it might give the
nation in war, as in peace, universal telephone
service to meet the needs of all the people,
10 this end we ask the cooperation of
every telephone user that waste may be elm
mated and every resource conserved.
