!. Nothing seemed to happen for
q while. It was getting dark and
; I could see Cook busting around
the dining room setting the table.
Then something did happen.
For in the dusk saw something
about a foot and a half long with
a very long tail give a leap and a
bound and land right in the din
ing room.
Then I saw Bobby run around
into the house and soon I saw
him grasp the intruder. Then
followed q scream from Bobby.
Bunny and I ran into the din-
ing room and there was Bobby,
holding this strange animal
which looked somewhat like q
rat and yet at the same time like
a kangaroo in his arms.
Hes got bristles under that
soft fur, Foxy Grandpa"
Il should say he has," I
agreed, as I saw where Robby's
hands were all scratched.
What is her" I asked.

said Bunny. Hes a couiy."

~ UPPoSH you could have just
- one Of those magic fairy
~ gifts with which lucky souls
in ancient stories were some
times endowed. Would you choose
beauty or youth eternal or gold
or laughter or power? Don't
you remember that whenever q
good fairy came to q christen-
ing in the olden days and en-
dowed her pet BARN with some
marvellous gift, along came a bad
fairy and put the catch In It
somewhere?"
That was the whole point Of
the. highly educational fairy.tales
Of our youth. Any gift OF the
fairies was q highly uncertain
thing, ana brought with Il q
whole horde Of difficulties. There
was jealousy to combat and foes
to deal with. One had to beware
Of all the other folks who envied
the gift. and to ward off their
attempts to steal it or prove that
it was nothing. and that no one
else had q fairy godmother or q
guardian angel superior to their
attendant days.
There are just two gifts Of SUI
preme importance. and IL anyone
il endowed with the first Of them,
the second Is likely to follow;
while II he has the second in full
measure. some part of the first
must be his. Those two wonder
fA gifts are the power to think
right and the blessed ability to
love:
Most Of US want love. But we
think It Is something someone
ought to present to US. We act
as If we were entitled to- love.
We pout like spoiled children
when we don't get it. We look
for it everywhere. We are des-
perately lonely without it. We
claim that we would DO anything
to have love. And all the while
we are doing everything but the
one supremely important thing
we have to Go to get 1t. We re.
fuse to think right about love,
and so we don't find it.
ITO have a friend you must
first be one" That 10 true. And
to attract love, you must be
capable of loving. Passion may be
given to some magnetic person,
who can hold the Nthrobhing emo
ton only while newness makes
for mystery or while youth makes
for beauty. Fascination may be
yielded up to someone with a
bewitchlng trick OF smiling or Of
making herself unattainable.
