no. one who cannot prove that he is a
pillar of society will be allowed to fol-

the cry for personal liberty that of
their own accord they have instituted
censorship of the literary part of the
program, the banners and streamers
which their supporters will carry. AS
one member put it, "We1l see to it
that the displays don't say what we

Never had the twins felt quite SO
excited as they stood up to watch
Mother Bear. They no longer felt
afraid. With Mother Bear there,
there was nothing to fear. No harm
could come to them now. CA9 course
not. So side by side they sLood up,
their mouths half open and their lit
tie eyes round with excitement as
they watched Mother Bear shuttle to-
ward the big windfall where they had
seen the terrible eyes that had fright
ened them so.
There was no sound save the shut
fling of Mother Bears big feet in the
dead leaves and a low growing from
in the big windfall The terrible
eyes were no longer to be seen. They
hadn't been seen since Mother Bear
arrived. The twins began to wonder
if they really had seen them.
Suddenly, with a bawl of rage.
Mother Bear flung herself on that
windfall and began to tear it apart.
Very terrible, She looked as she tore
at those fallen trees, ard even the
twins had shivered at the sound OF
her voice. Then from under that
windfall came sharp, splitting snarl
and ugly growls, and few seconds

head and tail so short that it was
a joke bounded out from under the
further side of the windfall, screeched
once and went up tree so fast tkat
the twins were filled with envy.
Mother Bear stopped tearing at that
windfall and shuffled around to the
foot of the tree up which that brown
form had disappeared. Men she
called the twins. High above their
heads, stretched out on limb. was
one whom they had never seen before.
and glaring down at them were those
terrible eyes which had so frightened
them.

Princes and warriors all and the holy

hearken to the thousandth and seventh
tale Of the good Caliph and his search
for truth among the tents of the
wicked,
Now it came to pass in the fourth
year of the Profit that the soul of Nv
Ian of the Ruddy Countenance was
troubled within him. And the unbe-
levers of the city mocked him saying:
"behold he feareth, for the time is nigh
when the people meet to choose who
shall sit in Judgment over them"
But the Faithful who knew we'll the
mind of the Caliph replied: "Not so.
1t is the iniquity that is abroad in the
land that troubleth our lord. and the
tales that are told him of the flouting
OF the Koran and it's teachings by wine
bibblers and dancing girls in the khans
and; bazaars of the village called Green
wich. He feareth not the voice of the
people, for hath not Mur-phee, the Null
Iah, the chosen of Allah, proclaimed
that he shall reign for four years
more?"
Drowsy Night Kexed With Mirth
And it was even as they had said.
For the ear of the Caliph Hy-an had
been filled with tales of the evildoers
Of Greenwich until it bore hue more
brilliant even than the rest of his
countenance.> They drank strong drink,
mocking the Moslem law, so the tale
ran, and needed neither the call of the
muezzins to prayer nor the squawks of
those who would sleep, that they quit
their racket. And the Faithful of the
region appealed to the Caliph for aid
and went away hopeful for he. said to
them:
Hum! Hum! l am for the people and
against the interests"
When they were gone the Caliph
Hy-lan of the Ruddy Countenance sent
for the commander of his janissaries,
Adul- el-Inright, but the messenger re-
turned, saying. Behold, the COM
mander of the Faithful hath issued an
order giving himself vacation!'
Then the good Caliph bowed to the
East and summoned his Grand Nizier,

way he hunts the timid little people

and Mrs. Grouse. To them he is ter

All this time Yowler had been
growing softly and his funny stub
OF tail had never stopped twitching.
Now Mother Bear started to climb
the tree. That stub of tail twitched
faster and 1owler's growl deepened.
but even the twins knew that that
grow was a bluff. Yowler waited un-
til Mother Bear was half way up the
tree, then, with another dreadful
sounding screech, he leaped across to
another big branch and from that to
the next tree. In less time than it
takes to tell it he vas down from that
tree and, snarling angrily. had bound

Mother Bear came down. "I DOM
