1909, understood. tow-headed,
bandy-legged, blue-eyed boy sped into
the world squalling Justify with an I'M
controlled excitement which no later
adventure could arouse in him. Small,
bandy-legged, blue-eyed, and sandy
haired he remained to the end of his
days, and to this unimpressive appear
ance the sun added freckles. Yet this
boy, typically backwoods as he was,
and apparently no different from other
lads of his family and community, was
to exhibit such character, display such
competence, and achieve such fame as

DON'T INITIATE THE SHEEP
BY Lucy Lowell

/ gave up an hour to watching
A flock of sheep the other day.
They had the run of a great
stretch of pasture land, one
through which a bit of stream
tumbled, spreading a greenness
for some distance upon either
hank before 1t disappeared In a
cool strip of woodland.
Beyond this fresh grass the
rolling fields were growing sere,
burned by the fierce sunshine OF
midsummer.
But it was here that the sheep
grazed, ignoring alike the green
ness and the shady invitation of
the woods.
1t took me some little time to
figure out exactly why this was
so. Then / saw that the bell

ram. continually urged the others
into the dun meadow. Some
touch OF rheumatism. perhaps,
impelled him 10 seek the heat and
all the flock kept at his heels.
Occasionally one Of the sheep
would give a longing glance %
ward the stream, wander a few
steps toward its promise-only
TO return fearfully. taking to the
wake of the old bellwetfer.
A silly lot. one would say.
Yet humans are like that. too.
Afraid TO try new paths, to set
out for themselves even though

promise lures them.
