Buster Bears Wish Comes True

Buster Bears Wish Comes True
 BUSTER BEAR had had no luck at ND all in either his fishing or his
 wishing. He rather felt that this was contrary day, which means a day in which everything goes just the wrong way. It didn't occur to him that the contrariness was in him, which it was. If he hadn't persisted in keeping on fishing when it was perfectly clear that there were no fish in the little pools of the Laughing Brook he might have found something else to eat and had a pleasant, comfortable mornings instead of one disappointment after another which had. neither filled his stomach nor improved his temper. So he had stopped to rest and grumble to his hearts content.
 Right into the midst of his grumbling had broken angry screams, and he had looked up to see King Eagle trying to make Plunger the Fish Hawk give up a big, fat fish. Of course they were up in the air, and they were almost over Busters head. He forgot his own troubles and disappointment in the ex- citement of watching Plunger try to get away from King Eagle. At first he had hoped that Plunger would get away from King Eagle. Then as he saw how nearly over him they were he wished that Plunger would drop that fish. If he should drop that fish perhaps he, Buster, might dine on fish after all. And such a fish as it was! The very sight of it was enough to make Bus ter's mouth water.
 And just then Busters wish came true. You know wishes do come true once in a while. Busters did then. He saw King Eagle rush at Plunger and heard him scream something in a very angry sounding voice. And right then Plunger let go of that fish. It surprised Buster so to have his wish come true that he just stared open mouthed at that shining silver thing dropping out of the sky straight toward him. He saw King Eagle suddenly turn in the air and shoot down after the fish. He saw Mrs. Plunger sweep across the front of King Eagle and bother him for just an instant. It was just enough to prevent King Eagle catching that fish before it reached the ground.
 Open-eyed and open-mouthed Buster stared up at the strange thing happen ing right above him. He was so inter- ested that his wits almost forgot to work. That fish was dropping right straight at him, yet he made no move to get out of the way. You see he was So interested in watching King Eagle and wondering if he would be able to catch that fish that until it was too late he didn't once think of what might happen to him if King Eagle didn't catch that fish. He had just taken it for granted that King Eagle would catch it. When he saw that King Ea- gle wasn't going to be suddenly realized that while he wanted that fish very much indeed, he didn't want it in just the way he was likely to get it. He started to jump to one side, but he was not quick enough. Slap! That big, fat fish, dropped from high up in

 And so, when the man held the little door open and said, Walk in, please v everyone except the magical hobby horse walked into the little house.
 Then the crooked-legged man banged the door shut and locked it. "Aha '" he cried, now I have the magic cup board and I shall eat everything wish now, and you can all stay in my house, cause I shall take the cupboard to another and better place to live" And with that, the mean creature led the magical hobby horse away through the woods, leaving our friends locked up in the tiny little dark house.

Slap! that big fat fish, dropped from high up in the air, had hit Buster full in the face
 the air, had hit Buster full in the face. In fact, it almost knocked him over. For just minute he couldn't see anything. He heard the swish and rustic of King Eagles great wings as he spread them and brought himself up short to keep from striking Buster Bear, for King Eagle knew better than to run the risk of blow from one of Busters great paws. .
 When Buster got his wits together and could see straight he saw that the fish had fallen little to one side after hitting him, and he also saw that King Eagle was lowering over it and just reaching down to seize it in his great claws. Now Buster may be clum- sy looking, but know of no one who can move more quickly than he can. He moved quickly now.
 "Thats my fish !" he roared, rush. ing at King Eagle so suddenly that King Eagle didn't have time to get the Busters reach.
 '1t isn't your fish at all It 8 mine y! screamed King Eagle, lowering over Buster Bear just out of reach, and all the time threatening to claw Busters eyes out.
 "No such thihg!" roared Buster, slowly turning so as always to face King Eagle. l wished for that fish and my wish has come true. I wished that Plunger would drop it, and he did !"
 ''He did because made him !' screamed King Eagle.
 And this was the beginning of a dreadful quarrel over something that didn't belong to either of them. Wasn't it foolish?

LONDON, Jan. 9.-Tibet has her
feminist leaders no less renowned
in their own way than prominent
women of western lands, according
to Sir Charles Bell who recently de-
scribed Tibetan customs to members
of the Royal Geographical Society.
At one monastery Sir Charles, who
spent a year in Tibet as a British
Goernment official, lunched with Dor
ia Parmo, the most eminent woman,
in Tibet. who, he said, was believed
to have the power of turning herself,
and TIE fifty-nine other females, who
were monks, not nuns, into pigs.
Sir Charles Bell spent a year in
Lhassa, the holy capital of Tibet,
a city which foreigners rarely visit.
On his way to Lhassa he met pill
grims who were covering every inch
of the way by prostrating themselves.
