 "Just as you say" replied Hooty. But if were you, I would keep my eyes open" With this Hooty flew 10 ! look for Old Man Coyote. As for Yowlcr, he quite clearly was uneasy. He didn't want to believe, but he had to. There was something about 1 the way that Hooty had spoken that made Yowlcr feel that he had been 1 telling the truth. It was very dis turbing. Yovlcr never had seen his ] big cousin, but he knew that that big cousin was n great deal bigger than he. He WAS afraid, was Yowl- CT

No news that had ever reach ed the Green Forest had caused so many shivers as did the news Of the arrival of Puma the Panther.
 But the ones who shiyered most were Lightfoot the Deer and his family. Hitherto Liehtfoot and Mrs, IIightfoot had feared no one but the hunters with the terrible guns, and they came only for short time once year.

ticket for the past forty years."

man. "What this country needs is a lot more
good. republicans. Reckon the trip from Iowa is
costing you quite penny tho amt it?"
''Worth every cent Worth every cent man
has got" twanged the Iowan shrilly.
A S matter of fact, the trip was taking every
cent he had. He was too old to work, and his
farm was not his, it was mortgaged to the hilt
His wife had died few years ago; she had
dropped like an overworked animal in the har-
ness His two sons had run away from the farm,
because of the drudgery and he never heard from
them. He had run a slave farm which he had
been the principal slave. Now he was worked
out, and old, and penniless but glory he would
shake the presidents hand
This would make up for everything: for the
years of drudgery, ignorance, and isolation; for
the miserly years. the mean lean Yankee years,
for the penny squeezing years that had killed his
wife and driven away his sons, and twisted and
ruined his body. Yes it would pay.
This is the way Yankees think. They despise
royalty and the efete European worshppers of
King George of England, Kaiser Wilhelm, and
Queen Marie of Roumania. But they would all
go hungry, naked and cold to shake the presi-
dents hand. YES sir. Nothing concrete is gain
ed; a man does not become wiser, nobler, or even
richer by the act, but it satisfies something in the
Yankee SOUL The turnkey in it, perhaps. Or the
romantic, or the damn fool. / can't figure it out.

hand. The trick works equally well with the
leaders of Negroes, oppressed bankrupt farmers,
trustfattened little business men, and the club

for the privilege of shaking the presidents hand.

THE train reached Washington. The old Iowa
farmer was met by his congressman and
taken to the White House line. There he found
a thousand other Yankees waiting to shake the

dreamed, on his lonely farm, that he cherished
sacred and unique ambition.
After four hours and forty years of waiting,
his turn in the line came at last He was sud
