say that he is related 10 Rcddy Fox.
 "What's that" exclaimed Peter.
 "I said" replied sammy, that he looks mo like q member of the Fox family"
 Huh" exclaimed Peter, "rhot cant Dc. Rcddy Fox hasn't any relatives around these parts"
 "All right, Mr. Smarty, if you know more about il than I do that S all I've got to say" replied Sammy, and away he flew in q huff.
 Peter felt little shamcd of him He was so full of curiosity that he couldn't sit still minute. He want ed 10 start right away for the Green Forest, yet was afraid to- There WAS Puma the Panther over there. and Peter had heard dread ful stories about Puma the Panther. And now here was another stranger who. if Sammy Jay were right, would be only too glad of a Rabbit dinner. So, on second thought, Peter decided that the dear Old Briar- patch was the best place for him until he should know more about this stranger. Peter fclt quite safe in the Old Briar-patch, and, after all. there was nothing more im- portant than being safe. If every one thought of safety first all the time this would be a lot better world 10 live in. because there would be so much less sadness.
 But if Peter couldn't go into the Green Forest he could ask questions of those who had been there and tlIat came his way. And Peter did. Tommy Tit the Chickadce happen cd over 10 the dear Old Rriar- patch. Tommy didn't have time to say "Dce- e-dee-chickadee" before Peter demanded. Have you seen the new stranger in the Green Forest, Tommy Tit?"
 "Ycs, Peter" said he. q went to pay my respects as soon as I heard l he had arrived. I believe in being polite. A little politencss doesn't hurt any. one, and it may do one a lot of good"
 Never mind about your polite ness" interrupted Peter, which, of course, was quite impolite on his part. "Tcll me about this stranger, Sammy Jay says that he looks like n member of the Fox family, but, of course, that cannot be. Who docs thc stranger say he is?"
 "Ho doesn't say" replied Tommy 1 Til. Anyway. he didn't toll me" l Copyright. 1926. by T. W. Burgess

Jack Irwin, we'll known Alaska rail road man, recently selected to the. po- sition of tourist agent under c. c. Dickens, left Anchorage some time i ago on his way to Lawing. His mis- sion consisted of mapping out the many tributaries to the many points of interest contiguous to Lake Kenai, says the Seward Gateway. Yesterday, while MT. Irwin was mapping some trails in the lower end of Kenai lake, near the foot bridge across. the river, with his guide, the well known, and .amiable Jack Lean, of >Riddiford, he detected COW moose with two calves. The mother, being somewhat alarmed at the intruders in her pasture, inn mediately took funny notion that the other side of the lake would be safer for her and her babies, so she immediately got busy enticing her little ones to cross the icy waters. One of the calves, just able to navigate on terra firma, took the initiative and started to swim across, and at the start showed considerable skill at the aquarian art, doing several knots an hour. The other calf, more or less obstinate, stayed on shore with the mother frantically coaxing it to fol- low the little leader, but her efforts to make the latter take to the water were fruitless- Jack, like the big
 hearted boy scout, taking another look over the swift-running river, observed the lonely one had about all it could do to keep it's head above water, and hastily rushed down several hundred feet to the bridge and started across to play the role of hero. The calf was about to go under for the 'steenth time when Jack arrived on the scene of the near tragedy, hooked the little animal and brought it safely to shore. He then led the animal to the other side of the stream, where the mother and "scairt" baby were waiting pa tiently, and returned, it to her. When Jack turned it over, the calf, realizing the deed of her irescuer and new found friend, was reluctant to stay with her "ma," and several times Jack was compelled to carry the animal back before it could be made to stay Such was yesterdays happenings down at Kenai Lake, aand the action displayed by MT. Lean only magnifes the "softness and kindliness" dis played by men who roam the wilds.
