DILL 1N1L ~ OANAEO ". BURGESS

which, you know, was big fiat stone
in the stone wall. 1t was a beautiful
Spring morning. The feathered folk
were singing and everything was as
peaceful as could be. Happy Jack was
nibbling a bit of food rather daintily as
he waited for his family to arrive.
Now, unknown to any one, Robber
the Rat had moved over from Farmer
Browns barn to a hole under the old
stone wall, not far from Happy Jacks
table. From the entrance to that hole
he had watched Happy Jack and his
family Stuflug themselves morning af<T
morning. Later, when he was sure that
no one was watching, he had stolen
over to that big fiat rock and greedily
eaten what was left. Then he had sour
ried back into his hole, for the ways
of Robber the Rat are ways of dark
ness, and he does not like the sunlight.
On this particular morning Farmer
Browns Boy was up unusually early.
He had left bountiful breakfast on
that fiat stone before Happy Jack ar
rived. There were several things that
Happy Jack was particularly fond Of.
This Is the best breakfast I've had for
a long time" thought Happy Jack as
he nibbled and waited for Mrs. Happy
Jack and the children to arrive. II wish
the family would hurry up. If they
don't come soon I am afraid shall be
greedy"
1t was just then that there ives a
sudden rush along the top of the old
stone wall and Happy Jack looked up
to see Robber the Rat-big, dirty, evil
ooking-rushing straight at him with
all his sharp teeth showing. Happy
Jack almost turned back somerSault,
ran for the nearest tree and climbed it.
There he was joined by Mrs. Happy
Jack and the children, and they all sat
there and chatted and scolded, while
Robber the Rat, grinning between bites,
stuffed himself.
Now, there is no one greedier than
Robber the Rat. BY the time he had
finished and gone back to his hole there
was little left. Happy Jack was the
first one to venture down. He moved
cautiously. There was something rather
terrible looking about Robber the Rat.
Happy Jack reached the nat stone.
Robber the Rat did not appear. Mrs.
Happy Jack and the children ventured
down to join Happy Jack. 1t was
rather a sorrowful breakfast party. You
see, all of the best Of the food had dis
appeared and there wasn't enough left
to give them much more than bite
all around.

Happy Jack Loses a Breakfast.

Happy Jack Squirrel and Farmer
Browns Boy are the best of friends.
They have been for a long time. All
Winter long Happy Jack was always
sure of finding something to eat, put
out especially for him. When Spring
came Farmer Browns Boy still con-
tinued to put out food for Happy Jack.
There was one particular big fiat stone
on the old stone wall, along the edge Of
the Old Orchard, which Farmer Browns
Boy said was Happy Jacks table. Mrs.
Happy Jack used to go there with him.
She was not quite so fearless as Happy
Jack. for she had never had quite cour-

age enough to take food from the hands
of Farmer Browns Boy, as Happy Jack
often did.
1t was to this table that Mr.. and Mrs.
Happy Jack proudly led little family
(of four, as soon as the latter were old
enough. With always plenty to eat,
these young gray squirrels grew fast.
Very proud of their family was Happy
Jack, and a wonderful time they all
frisked about on the old stone wall and
in the trees near by. Farmer Browns
Boy used to delight in watching them.
Early one morning, Happy Jack had
gone over for an extra early breakfast.
He was sitting on the edge Of the table

ONLY FOUR TOURISTS
 MADE THE MACKENZIE
 RIVER TRIP THIS YEAR
Woodburner Steamboat Goes When Ready and Returns When It Can

MEDF0RD, Oregon Tourists there have been four of them this season-have made little change in the Mackenzie River district in the Northwest Territories of Canada, says Frank c. Stephens, of Nampa, Idaho, who has just returned from a journey to the Arctic Ocean.
 The trip down the Mackenzie was made on an old-fashioned wood burning steamboat that carries supplies into the far northern country for the Hudson's Bay post and trappers. The boat made two trips this season. MT. Stephens went on the first one. There was one other tourist aboard. The boat on it's next trip carried two other tourists.
 To reach the Arctic by way of the Mackenzie it is necessary to travel north by train 300 miles from Edmonton, take the boat down the Clearwater and Atha- basca Rivers, cross Lake Athabasca, River, portage around dangerous rapids and cross Great Slave Lake
 'The country is primitive be- yond description" MT. Stephens says. "There is no hotel in a jour ney of 1700 miles. Conditions are unchanged since the time the Hud- sons Bay company began taking furs. The trading posts each con sist of a store, a mounted police barracks, log cabin where the post trader lives, and a church.
 Our boat brought out 300 bales of furs, with an estimated value of $1,000,000. The country is of little present value except for it's furs. In all the vast wilderness encompassed in the great North west Territory, there are only a
