Henley, much as he wished the
subject changed, was still game
to make sport at his own ex-

"I will tell you the story of
all my other crimes" he said.
"Once murdered an old man

once roasted Jew in front

to play the leading part in when

downright fun to explore the
scrub-oak grove with Henley, and
to see country house come into
being under his enthusiastic and
playful imagination.
At last they penetrated to the
MINDLESS glade where Silver and
Hedden did their experimenting
and rehearsing, and Henley cried:
''I was worried about where the
garden should be. Behold it! We
come from the house by this path
and we look into the glade-it

everything in her power to clear
up the existing misunderstanding.
But her efforts were of no avail.
The break came. Suddenly, to her
great establishment, she found that
one of the two "combatants" at
tributed the breach to her. A few
malicious folks seemed to find great
joy in telling her just what she had
done. Others commiserated with
her on the tragedy of being mis-
understood"
To the establishment of all con-

failed smiled imperturbably and
said:

because know / was disinterest-
ed in the whole matter and that I
made an honest effort to straighten

tried to keep peace in the rAnks of

tributes it to me now is bound to
find out sooner or later that I
didn't cause it. When she sees how

The trouble with most Of us is
that we are torn by conflicting
motives, divided between our sense
of what it right and our thought
of what is advantageous. Expe-
diency is a dangerous leader. Sell
fishness is a destructive standard.
Lack of vision is a poor excuse.
The thing to do is to investigate
every problem earnestly and to be
as honest with life as with our.
selves. Given right motives, no
one can fail in any but temporal
and fleeing sense. Given right
motives, everyone is bound to find
truth prevailing in the end.

xYES, love to sleep outdoors
at night. 1t is fine to lie
- there in the dark and look
up at the stars.
But Bobby didn't think SO much
of it one night-what scared boy
he was.
We were on a camping trip in
the rolling country which piles
up into the Rocky Mountains.
We had cooked our supper over
a fire and had sat around for
a little while chatting in the
twilight. Then we made our beds.
Before darkness came we. had
gathered up soft branches and
had made a mattress of them.
So now we made our pillows of
some hay we had borrowed from
a nearby field.
The night was crisp and cool.
We had ridden all day. And my
head had hardly touched the pill
low before ! was sound asleep.
Bobby lay on one side of me,
and Bunny was curled up under
my blanket.
Suddenly I heard Bobby let out
yell. 1 sat up and caught him
in my arms as he flung himself at
me in fright.
What is it?" I cried.
whats the fuss-" asked Bunny
calmly. He never gets very ex-
cited.
ooh! Oh! Ohw sobbed Bobby.
Something nearly ate me up"
you must have been dreaming"
! persisted, trying to comfort
him.
mo, Foxy Grandpa, it really
did. Just feel my hair. It's wet
from his tongue-whatever it
was"
"Oh, that's just the dew on
your hair! But let me feel it,"
l rubbed my hand over his hair.
Sure enough, Bobby's hair was
wet and it certainly wasn't dew.
1t was warm and kind of sticky.
And on parts of Bobby's head the
hair was plastered down as If a
barber had done it with a brush
and pomade.

"Ill look around" said Bunny.
And off he scampered.
Soon Bunny came back, laugh
ing.
He just stood there with his
paws on his little fat sides and
chuckled. He could hardly talk
for laughing.

faces and big, fierce-looking eyes.

ued Bunny. Il had chat with
her. and She feels very badly
about it. She smelt the hay and
thought it was a choice morsel.
She didn't realize that she was
chewing up Bobby's pillow and
his hair until Bobby let out that
veil. Here she comes now"
With that, over walked Miss
Hereford Cow. We couldn't see
her very we'll in the dusk, but I
must say she Was fierce-looking.
She acted in very gentle way
though.
She came up to us. scratched
her head between her eyes and
she rubber her nose against my
shoulder.
Then she poked her nose in
Bobby's neck. Bobby wasn't ex.
actly pleased. But when Bunny
told us that she was apologizing,
Bobby felt all right.
Indeed, that nice COW was SO
polite that Bobby began to laugh
at himself and suggested that we
both give her our pillow, which
we did. She told Bunny it was
the best meal she had had in a
long time, and after she trotted
away we turned in again and
went to sleep.

Comes In," he has stolen from Paul Henley
young playwright With subtle cunning he in
terests Silver in the tinseled life of the stage.
To his credit his attraction to Silver at this time
was purely professional. He wished to dazzle her
with his own wealth, power, talents and prestige,
and the dazzle of the stage.
Early one morning Silver rose and donned her
bathing suit. Boarding her catboat she sailed out
into the bay. A cry for help sounded out on the
still air. Silyersyeered the catboat about and
picked up a young man who had hurt his arm and
was unable to swim. The youth introduced him
self as Paul Henley.
