He scrambled to his feet ana

there any sign of fire.

be there is a bad fairy around here
who will turn me into a butterfly or
something like that"
"Ha! Ha! Hal" laughed a little
voice down ON the ground.
oh, are you the fairy" asked
Uncle Wiggily, getting ready to run.
mo, indeed" was the answer. "I
am a little black ant lady. But It
makes me laugh to hear YOU say
perhaps the sparks were caused by
by a fairy. You made the fire
sparks yourself"
Il did? How" asked Uncle
Wiggily, looking at the steel scis-
sors.
when you FELL" explained the
ant lady, Nurse James scissors
struck on the fire stone, and
sparks came forth"
Whats fire stone?" asked the
bunny, wonderingly.
There 1t is" answered the ant
lady, pointing to black stone on
the path where Uncle Wiggily had
stumbled. That's the fire stone"
But don't see any sparks COM
ing out of it now" spoke the bunny.
mo, 1t is only when you strike a
fire stone, or flint with piece of
steel that sparks come forth" ex-
planned the ant lady. 1.-THE fire
stone is very hard, much harder
than the steel In Nurse James scis-
sors. And when you struck the
scissors on the hard stone some lit
tie crumbs of steel were scraped off.
And they came off so fast that
they were heated red hot, and
that's what made the sparks"
"Oh, it's like Fourth of July fire
works!" cried Uncle Wiggily in de-
light. DO you suppose l could do
it AGAIN."
"Why. Of course" said the ant
lady.
So Uncle Wiggily held the scissors
in his paw, and struck the back
edge a glancing blow on the hard
flint or fire stone. At once a
shower of sparks scattered around.
"That's how they made fire in the
old days." explained the ant lady,
with flint and steel, and how they
used to shoot guns-the flint lock
muskets. But now I must hurry
home"
Thank you for telling me about
the fire stone" said Uncle Wiggily.
"I'm going to take 1t with me. /"
And he did. And little later the
Fuzzy Fox chased the bunny. But
Uncle Wiggily Just took out the
fire stone, made lot of sparks
come from the scissors, and the Fox
was SO frightened that he ran away
without nibbling the bunny gentle
mans ears.
Then Uncle Wiggily took Nurse

MAKING SOIL
Posthumous Novel Already Glasses
Masterpiece.

MARIA Chapdelalne" BY Louis He
mon CThe Macmillan Company.
1t Is rare indeed that novel by
it's sheer excellence wins for its
author two monuments of granite
and an editorial in so conservative
a paper as the New York Times.
Yet that is exactly the treatment
which has been given Louis
Hemon's poetic novel OF the north
west, Maria Chapdelaine."
Samuel Chapdelaine was the
type of pioneer whose soul is ever
in the clearing. not the filling Of
the soil" He hewed down great
timbers, grubbed out the roots
plowed the ground and made
land" He built a shanty which
gradually evolved into servicea-
BILE house. Then neighbors came;
settlement was achieved. Chap
delaine grew restless again and
moved on to the new country only
to repeat the home-building expe-
rience.
His daughter, Maria, was born
to that life. She saw its beauty
and appreciated its worth. Had
Providence not interviewed, she
would have faced no struggle be-
tween rival attra ctions. But Provi-
dence did intervene and she came
squarely to grips with the question
of moving to the big city in the
prosperous United States or stay
ing in Canada and becoming a
partner in Matchmaking endeavors
exactly as her mother had been.
The homely ways of the simple
farming folk are presented by the
author with great fidelity and I'M
derstanding. The volume is CO.
herent, sincere and poetic through
out. Nothing has bee. included
which the story itself did not de-
mand; yet nothing integral has
been left out. 1t is a clear dem
onstration that sophistication and
smartness are not needed-not
wanted--if sympathy and sincerity
dictate the authors choice OF ma
terial while beauty and poetry de-
termine his use of words.
Small wonder that this posthu-
nous novel has been called zone of
the few great books of our day"
