<<T'M not going to leave this
island until have a good
picture of a moufflon,"
announced one morning when we
were on that beautiful island Of
the Mediterranean-Sardinia.
"They say you'll have a hard
time, Foxy Grandpa" said Bobby.
Hard time or no hard time" I
answered with determination, "a
picture of moufflon 1 am going
to have"
What do they look like?"
Bobby asked.
"A handsome big sheep" I re-
piled, much larger than any
sheep which is tame. And they
are very strong, because they
live in the mountains"
81 hope you can find one" said
Bobby.
"Ohw said Bunny, II have a
feeling you will" Bunny is al
ways so hopeful and encouraging.
he always says just the right
thing at the right time.
1T hope you are right" said I.
Suppose we start out tomorrow
morning"
"Fine!' said Bunny. wen get
an early start"
So next morning we got up
very early, had our breakfast
and were on the road leading out
of the village before any one was
awake.
Soon We came to q low range
Of mountains. I stopped and
looked off into the distance as I
said:
"It looks very moufflonish to
me-" he replied.
So we left the road and started
to climb up the rocky side Of a
mountain. We got to the top
all out Of breath-and sat down
for a moment. I took my binocu-
lars off my shoulder and put
them UP to my eyes, and, would
you believe me, there grazing on
little patch of green in the
valley below us was one OF the
very sheep for which I was look
ing?"
There" said I. "There Is
moufflon. Come on"
But 1t wasn't so easy, I can
tell you. We scuffled down the
mountain. Like a flash the mouf-
flon sighted us, and before we
reached the valley, Mr.. Moufflon
was up on the top Of the noun
tain on the other side.
Come on" said /. I'VE might
as well keep after this fellow"
Up to the top of the next noun
tain we climbed. Down TO the
bottom of the next valley plunged

Question Why did not the 81.
Louis Cards use Les Mann regularly

His record for 1922, given in the
Reach official baseball guide last year,
shows that he had the highest batting

Answer: Have no idea as to why
Manager Hickey did not use Mann
more than he did. except that Hickey
did not consider that he was as val
liable to him as some other players.
The manager is the man who decides
that sore Of thing and not the players
