Through 1t all runs a sentiment of
buoyant optimism and a sturdy faith
in the finer qualities of human nature
that is splendidly isnpiring in its eff
feet. So simple in outline, yet so true
to the rugged but sincere human ma
ture 1t portrays is, "The Shepherd of
the Hills" that its popularity is read
lily explained. 1t deals intimately with
the homely lives of the Ozark dwellers
when luxury was unknown and when
the rough hard work of pioneer exist
ence was met with fortitude and in
dustry. In its heart warming fashion
it tells of the stranger who comes to
the little community from a more pre-
tentious life and how from a simple
tender of sheep, he becomes a shep-
herd of men. With such a splendid
subject matter as this, the scenes fol-
low each other in Kaleidoscope var

HOW queer! hS thouoA~'
fast everything happens. Why! there

Why! Why! They're growing be-

Sure enough! They were growing
They had grown quite out OF sight'
But they were growing very queeriy'
side by side, and reaching across to
each other heavy tendrils and spirais
of growth that made strong, green
ladder. Jack could step right out from
his bed in his pajjamas onto tha'
green, growing ladder.
"Blieve I WILL" said Jack. And he
did. He just stepped out onto tna'
ladder and began to climb. The cllmp
was a queer one; for as he CLIMBED
the ladder was growing all the time'
and Jack went up as if on a sort OF
moving staircase.

the man in it grdew palmer and larger

now, and in a twinkling stepped out on
a golden-green landscape full Of queer
hills and valleys. He didn't seem to be
able to stop going, even here. For the
speed he had gathered on the bean
ladder seemed to carry him on. Soon
he arrived at a greeny-gold valley
nesting on the slope of which was
hinge castle Of all gold from foundation
to towers In front of the castle was
a lean, timid-looking woman hanging
out clothes.
ooh" she said, you've come, have
you? But aren't you afraid OF the
blackbirds that peck off noses? no
aren't you afraid of my husbands"
"Who is your husband?" said jack
HE is a very terrible Giant. HIS
name is very hard to understand III
sepll it--H-C-O-L. He'll eat you up
II he finds you here. He never gets
enough. I've grown thin trying to
cook for him He eats whole COW at
one meat. He's rkicher'n Croesus, and
he won't even get me an Eastern bon
net. And If say word he threatens
me with-with the blackblrds that
pecked off the nose of the servant
maid. You known, don't you? Well
anyhow, boy, you'd better go on. More
over, my husband is a great magicion
too. He can charm peoples money
away from them" (You see, she did
MT know how the u S. S. G. A. was
ready to fight old H-C-O-L)

man, come in; I'll give little greer
cheese. It's very common up here

You may have noticed the color o.

"Oh, yes; to be sure!" said Jack
Then, in a twinkling, there he was
sitting in a great ballroom made al
of gold, and eating green cheese will

He noticed along the table grea
