% Story by HaI Cochran

With all the pet beasts out of sight, the hunter said, What caused the fright that made the beasts run to the cave was fear of being shot.
 Look over there and you will see hunter, and I'm sure that he would bang at any animal, and kill him on the spot"
 The hunter, coming through the tres cried out, Will someone tell me, please, if there have ben wild animals around here recently.
 "My guide found tracks and traced them here, but now we're stopped, I sadly fear. Just look! The tracks are everywhere. Where can the wild beats be?"
 All the Tinymites kept still. They thought that they would wait until the hunter did some talking, and, of course, that was real smart.
 "Come, come, what is this all about? Can't any of you help mo out?" exclaimed the gruff old hunter. "I am anxious to depart"
 'well," said the other hunter. T just saw a lot of beasts go by.

They chased these little tots and made them climb up into trees.
 "I, too, climbed way up out of sight, and then, my friend, with all my might, I threw lot of stones and drove the beasts away with ease."
 "What luck T have! Why couldn't I have seen them?" came the mans reply. Tn which direc- tion did they go?" It's time that I must save!"
 The Tinies' friend just smiled and said. Right down that way, sir, straight ahead" and pointed in the opposite direction to the cave.
 The hunter of wild beasts soon was far out of sight. Ut really does me good to see him fooled that way" said Dotty, with smile.
 "To kill wild beasts that hunter strives, but our good friend has saved their lives. He told little fib, but in this case it seemed worth while.'

You needn't call again, unless
you especially wish to. If you
and your husband wish to plan
some kind of party, no matter
how simple, this would be a de-
lightful thing for you to do.
You might invite them to din
ner, with their hosts. or to Sun
day luncheon, or to tea on some
definitely appointed day.
Of you might just invite the
women guests and their hostess
to luncheon some day. But if
you are not genuinely interested
in making this gesture, there is
no reason why you should do it.
But visitors from out-of-town
to a big and important city like
yours do like to have hospi-
tality extended to them-as we
all know-and especially if they
are relatives!

the heart of the Drumright, Okla,
