JAMES FENIMORE COOPER

I Element OF the white man Cooper
spent his boyhood days. There he
spent his time upon the beautiful
lake tashioning canoes after the man
ner Of the Indians about him; there
he roamed about the beautiful woods
as they rose on all sides about him:
there he slept at night amid the
solemn silence Of a little settlement.
a hundred miles beyond the advanc-
ing line Of civilization.
There in the backwoods OF 18th
Century America. the boy Cooper
grew and as he grew he learned the
! crafts and tricks OF the people who
/ lived about him. He learned the craft
OF the woodsman and the tricks OF the
| trappers; the art OF the forest and
the tales and legends OF the border
folk. All these he learned. and later
used to create the background OF his
stirring stories.
Cooper went TO college-to Yale. but
he did not graduate from that institu-
ton. The call OF the outdoors was
ringing in his ears. and he was prone
TO spend his time in frolic rather than
In study. At last II was decided that
life on the sea would cure his restless
habits and Cooper at the age OF seven
teen sailed the high seas on a mer-
chant vessel.
Is 1t any wonder that Cooper's ad-
venture tales hold the reader SPELL
bound? He lived his adventures first
hand. and in his books he has made
them live again for you to read and
enjoy. II You do not know the works
of James Fenimore Cooper. go to the
nearest library and ask the librarian
to show you where they are. and then
read them. You will find them some
of the greatest treats you have ever
enjoyed.

IT'LL the long happy summer Mar
cia, Dick and Ted had played on
the beach and played croquet in
- @the evenings and gone swimming
and wading and everything that girls
and boys do at the seashore and. OF
course. they had dug lakes and made
things out of sand. But until Jane
came, the last week before the sea-
son was over they had never had the
real fun on the beach that they did
after her arrival. For Jane knew
how to make everything-or If she
didn't know quite how to make ev-
erything, 1t seemed like everything to
her three admiring friends.
Jane had never been to the ocean
before. She had always spent her
summers at an inland lake where she
could play in the sand and not be
bothered by the great waves that
sometimes dashed up and spoiled a

Jane had never heard of tides. But

that Is, not yet!
On Friday morning while the four
children were finishing their break
fast at the Willow Tree Cottage where
said to them, 'FWell. people. what's
the order OF the day? You know this
Is the very last day you can play on
the beach"
Lets go swimming right now and
stay all day" suggested Ted.
"Bur-r-r-r!' exclaimed Jane and
| Dick together. "it's too cold this early
in the morning. Let's make towns In
the sand"
"And swim at eleven O'Clock when
It's warmer" added Ted good natured-
ly. ''all right let's"
"Oh, know" cried Jane with sud
den inspiration. "let's find new place
and build a whole town and houses

chairs were pushed back. sand buck

the four town builders were off.
Down the road to the beach the
children scampered. across the "fll"
where the sandy stretches had been
filled with crushed shell to make a
firm road. and over to the sandy beach
where the tiny waves and tempting
hills and hollows made an ideal play
ground.
Now we have to have some sticks
and three or four boards" said Jane.
'I'll get those" answered Ted.
while you pick out where the towns
going to be. Get a good place." he
added, "'cause we want plenty of
room for US all TO work"
Look what I've got" exclaimed
Marcia. and she showed a bit of glass
which would make real windows in
the court house of their to-be-town.
Fine" exclaimed Jane happily, 1T
