Foxy Grandpa's Story

II was in the early autumn,
but 1t was very cold. Every
river and stream was frozen
where we were, up in Canada.
But what fun it was to ex-
plore those North woods, lis
tening for the strange sounds
which we knew came from some
wild animal.
Lets follow this brook" sug-
gested Bobby, as we came to a
frozen rivulet which looked like
an unrolled bolt of silver ribbon
as it curved it's way through the
high trees.
'Great sliding here" said Bob
by, as he took q run and slid for
several yards.
"Too bad you haven't your
skates with you" l said.
tits pretty slippery for ordi-
nary Shoes" said Bobby. as he
toppled and fell with a bang on
the ice.
Here" said I, take this club
and steady yourself with it,"
We travelled quite a distance
and soon Bobby's legs began to
get tired, and he sat down on
the bank to rest.
The club was in his hand and
you know how boys are If they
sit down with anything in their
hand. They just have to bang
it on the ground. And Bobby was
like all boys.
/ laughed as i watched him.
and as | stood there, 1 looked
down through the clear ice to
the water under It.
"What is that floating down
there?" he cried, pointing to a
dark object just under the ice.
''Raccoon? Baby bear? F'ox?"
whispered Bobby. all in one
breath.

! murmured.
cts not a raccoon or a bear or
a fox and it's not dead" said
Bunny. But if you hurry and
dig it out you may save it's life"
Come on" I shouted, give
me your club, Bobby"
l took the club in my hand,
raised it in the air and crashed

Then I loosened pieces of ice
around the opening and little by

to reach my hand into the icy
water and drag out the little AM.

ground.

"Give him time. He'll come too"

but waited. We sat quietly by
watching our little beaver. Sure
enough, in a few moments, saw
him start to breathe-very quiet
ly, but you could see his breath
in the cold air. Then a whisker
moved. Finally he wiggled a
little paw. Then his eyes
opened.
He lay there, looking at us.
For a moment he did not move.
but in a very short while he
jumped to his feet and off nc
trotted through the woods.

Nothing very unusual" said
Bunny. THAT fellow was just
swimming around down under
the water and minding his own
business when Bobby struck his
club on the ice. 1t stunned the
beaver and he lost consciousness
and floated to the top of the
water"

Authority on Problems of
Love and Marriage.

Love anu N1dATIdSOs
HAS there ever been a time
H since primitive woman
emerged on the planet when girls
didn't dream, wonder, and puzzle
over problems Of love!
The modern girl brings all her
level-headed logic and warm
hearted affection to her efforts to
insure happiness and success for
her marriage.
Once upon time 1t was almost
disgrace not to marry-at least,
1t was popularity regarded as an
admission of lack Of personal
charm. And so girls rushed into
marriage regardless Of love.
Today a woman can have won
derful times, wonderful adven-
lures, a fascinating career,
whether she marries or remains
unmarried. And no one questions
why she decided not to wed.
The modern girl has one great
question to consider when q
man asks her to marry him
whether she truly loves him. She
knows that without true love

To be unhappily married will
soon be looked upon as almost
a disgrace-at least an admission
of laundering stupidity. So the
girl is wise who takes time to
make up her mind.
Here's a letter from J. B. show
ing the natural masculine reac-
ton to a girls indecision as to
whether she loves him and wishes
to marry him:
Dear Miss Fairfax:

The mere fact that Sallie be-

surging confidence. She thought:
