Bedtime Stories
The Careless Young Deer

Lightfoot the Deer.

The Deer twins looked 1s.uch alike,
but really were quite different One
was wee bit smaller than the other.
and ever since they were born she
had been most obedient, doing always
just what she was told to 10 and
never thinking of disobeying. But
the other was bit headstrong, and
a he grew older he was more and
more inclined to think that he was
quite equal to looking out for him
self. Secretly he thought his mother
very tinid, but he admired his father,
Lightfoot, and tried TO initiate him
in every way, and longed for the
time when his own head would be
crowned with antlers, which are. you
should know, what some folks wrong
~ call horns.
When their mother had warned the
twins that, now they were penned in
their yard by the deep SHOWS, they
must always keep together for safety
this headstrong young Deer, who was
just about big enough 20 think he
knew all there was to know, turned
his head to hide smile.

Man Coyote and Yowler the Bob Cat
couldn't catch us when we were lit

them now? Resides, how can they get
around in this snow any better than
we can?
So this headstrong young Deer was
inclined to be careless, to linger a
moment or two when the others moved
on from one feeding place to another,
and to waHsder into side Eatifs. More

lost" said she. "Then you will wish
you had minded"
To this the young Deer made no
reply, but to himself he said: "The
idea of getting lost right in our own
yard! The very idea! 1t is silly to
mention such a thing
So this headstrong young Deer con-
tinued to be careless and needless
and to worry his mother. Day after
day they moved about in their yard
of many paths and nothing happened
to fyighten them. They neither heard
nor saw nor smelled single enemy.
But Lightfoot and Mrs. i.ightfoot
were not less watchful because of
this. They tested every Merry Little
Breeze that came their way. Their
cars were aiways open to catch every
little sound. 1t ali seemed very USE

Handsome Apartments, Millionaire Neighbors and

Uptown to Quiet Nights i'm Financial District

!. II. Hernon, department manager
OF a realty management company, told
representative OF The Associated
Press yesterday that it was becoming
somewhat of task to find q man
capable of fulfilling the intricate du-
ties of superintendent of downtown
Office building who was willing to live
in the apartments set aside for super
intendents on the roofs of such houses.
It required high type of man. he
said, and almost invariably that TYNE
OF man. or his wife, objected to the
high type of dwelling.
OFTEN, he said. their wives have
social ambitions that they feel they
cannot crafty down here in the bust
ness district. They prefer to live up-
town or in the more exclusive suburbs.
Some of the superintendent apart
ments are very handsome, and nearly
all OF them have magnificent views Of
the harbor, with the Statue of Liberty
and Ellis Island looming in the back
ground. These advantages, however.
don't seem sufficient to offset the social
disabilities of the neighborhood."
