Price, ".
THE hero Of Mr.. Terhune's lat
est story. Lochinvar Luck.
was a real character. More, the
MANY adventures he undergoea
are founded on fact.
There il no writer today
who could present these adven-
lures. In such q charming manner
els Albert Payson Terhune.
He writes with q sureness born
OF long experience and associa-
ton with dogs. especially coilies.
His kennels at Pompton Lakes,
". T., are known throughout
America. Here he breeds snd
lives with his dog friends.
An acute observer and natu-
raj lover of dogs, 1t is small
wonder that his stories are
eagerly sought by publishers to
satisfy the demand Of thousands
Of readers.
This story concerns the rcgen-
Grafton of a collie. He was an
aristocrat-a dog that had his
meals served to him. And choice
meals they were. He was never
permitted to wander. Just q
regular kennel dog.
A time came when he was cold
to a Canadian. On the day he
arrived at his new. owners home
CToronto), he ran away. And he
remained absent for ten months.
Despite diligent search no trace
of him could be found.
He fled to the woods and made
his home under an old dance
pavilion. His adventures in
search of food take up the major
portion Of the book. And such
adventures! WIDELY untutored
and devoid of experience, he re-
verted successfully to the wilds.
But he was finally captured
when he essayed to attack an
enormous goat that was a veri.
table Jack Dempsey. The fight
was interrupted and the dog
chased to his lair and captured.
He finally accepts, phllosoph.
ically, the burden Of civilized life.
1t is a capital story and well
worth reading.

eastern Iowa where ten-acre
grove was set aside as a play
ground. This favored spot seems
to have developed into a sort Of
sanctuary for the birds and 1t was
here that the author followed his

feathered friends and studying
their habits and peculiarities and
he tells some of the most charm
ing little stories about them.

 Mrs. Warren c. Harding is beau tiful to meot. Her grace and man. ner of greeting people lose all bonds of constraint and formality and her fascinating personality reflected es- pecially in her low and forceful tone as she speaks and her smile. which is contagious to her listeners, holds one by it's charm.
 I like your people of Alaska and am glad 10 hold your hand said Mrs. Harding. as with hearty handclasp of greeting she smiled a ready assent to, talk of her im- ''pressions on the trip of the Presi- dential party to Alaska. Charming in frock of the new figured silk in design of blue and white, and navy blue silk hat she stood in the conservatory at the Governors House yesterday afternoon and talked of Alaska and its people as she finds them.
 T like your people of Alaska" she reiterated, because as I look into their faces and see the sparkle in their eyes I know they are oneI hundred per cent Americans. and that is the most important of all things"
 And unconsciously. as she said the word Americans" the First Lady of the Land drew herself to straight and rigid posture, her own eyes a sparkle and her arms slightly ex-I tended, living symbol of American patriotism.
 That is another of Mrs. Harding's 1 charms, her own enthusiasm as she talks, be the subject of her conyer- satfon what it may.
 With quick smile she turned to Alaska itself.
