ON THE WAY.

"Now you must start" said Mrs.
Wood Elf to the boy and the girl who
were going forth for adventures. They
had heard the story Mrs. Get the Most
Out-of-Life had told them of how she
was named and how she lived up to
the meaning of all the words in her
name.
II packed up a delicious luncheon
and supper for you," said Mrs. Wood
Elf. "And there is also enough for
breakfast and luncheon tomorrow.
Here l will put it in your knapsack.
"And you needn't stay to help wash
up the dishes (they hadn't really said
anything about dishes, but they were
glad that, as the subject had been men
toned, they wouldn't have to stop
around any longer) for the old giant
who said you would be starting early
this morning would be surprised if he
saw you still around"
''You were going to take us to the
end Of the wood, weren't your" asked
the boy. 1--WE wouldn't be able to find
our way back to the road before night
fall, and, while we'd love to spend the
night here again, we really must be on
our way"
Eyes, 1 think we should be start
ing" said the girl, though we've had
very good time"
"That's right" said Mrs. Wood Elf.

thank folks for their hospitality in
other ways besides the use of words.
"And Mrs. Wood Elf will be late In
getting home and will doubtless then
be tired. I'm really quite glad to do
the dishes under such circumstances.
"Good-by! Good luck !"
"Qood-by," they shouted as they
want- through the woods with Mrs.
Wood Elf.
1--WE would never find the way our
Selves" said the boy.
'I'm sure we wouldn't" said the
girl.
Lets rum" said the boy. So they
ran in and out of the trees and some
times Mrs. Wood Elf ran with them,
but she said she wasn't so fond of
running as they were. She promised,
though, to be on the same path, walk
ing straight ahead SO they could al
ways come back and find her.
I'm so glad we came adventuring,"
said the boy.
"I'll be glad to see the House Of
Secrets. I love secrets" said the girl,
land to think that we'll have secrets
filling up whole houseW
ooh, it's fine to have some place
worth seeing at the end of the trip"
said the boy. "And a long journey
with many adventures will make it all
the more interesting"

the law in driving the animal beyond

The owner eventually was notified that
he had a blind steer wandering around

Another practice to keep cattle from
trespassing onto forbidden pasture il
to ''blcck' them: Such procedure. is to
fasten blocks of wood to the animals

a good one for preventing cattle from
