ing from the pain and the forester
took pity on it, lifted it into his car
and made it fast with rope. The
ranger started, only TO discover that
the mother bear was in hot pursuit.
The forestry book of instructions does
not cover this situation, but the ranger
decided to throw the cub overheard.
His attempts to unite the knots proved
futile. Finally, on steep grade, the
old bear threw herself on the back Of
the car. The forester jumped off the
car, and regained his feet in time to
see it continuing it's journey. Later
the automobile was found, everything
intact except the seat where the cub
had been tied, the old bear having
torn it out to release her offspring.

Hal knew il was time for much

new hoy in town and the next
day marked the opening of school.
Everything depended upon that
first session; what sort of treat
ment would he receive at the hands
of the boys; what would they think
of him?
Curiosity prompted him to walk
over to the schoolhouse and there
he saw several happy groups OF
children at play and a number of
older boys and girls busily engaged
in cleaning the grounds and tidying
up the school. building. evidently in
preparation for the morrow. Being
a stranger, he did not Iinger, con-
quering the impulse to say Hello"
TO a bright-faced boy near the gate
who seemed about to invite him
in.
Next morning, he carefully
watched the clock to make sure
that he would arrive at school just
IN time to go straight to the prin-
cipars office and thus avoid meet
ing any of the pupils. at least until
recess. Hal was about to tell his
mother goodbye, when he thought
of the Junior American Red Cross
service button on his coat. 1t had
been a badge of honor at the old
school, but he slipped it off. placed
II on the library table and went
out.
When he reached the schoolyard
gate, he hesitated, for there were
three or four of the largest boys
and girls standing just inside ap-
pafently awaiting him. Suddenly
one of the boys called out: 'Hellof
come right in" There was some
thing so genuine in the greeting
that Halls face Frightened and
somehow he felt greatly relieved.
A minute later he found himself
walking up the short flight of
steps at the entrance to the school,
house, the boy at his side to whom
he had already told his name, hav-
ing volunteered to show him the
way to the principals office. When
he entered, he found the boy again
awaiting him to escort him to the
room to which he had been as
signed.
At recess his new friend soon in

soon discovered that the children
