His mother nodded. "You will when
you are old enough. Next year you
will have beginning. Just two
straight horns. When you are fully
grown you will have wonderful
branching antlers like your fathers"
Slimlegs sighed. II wish I was

Slimlegs didn't finish that wish.
Peeping out from the thicket, he could
see across the little pond to the dam
that made the pond, and standing at
one end of the dam was Lightfoot the
Deer. Even though his antlers were
not yet grown. he was very handsome.
Slimlegs stared and stared and his
admiration grew and grew.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Whopper.

WHOPPER is 'one of those rare
nouns which may be used to
characterize almost anything-a very
hot day, a very cold day. q home
run. an uppercut, book, painting
or automobile.
This peculiar language phenom-
enon is due to the fact that to be q
whopper. the particular thing, OBJ
ject or intangible to which the
word is applied must possess the
quality Of exciting amazement, ad-
miration or tremendous surprise
because of bigness, greatness or some
other outstanding but. at the mo-
ment. astonishing attribute. 1t must,
in other words. strike the senses al
most as If with a blow.
1t is this last significance which
is the essence Of the root source Of
whopper, which is cognate with the
old English quappen, to palpitate.
The derivative English noun is whap
or whop, blow or quick, smart stroke.
This early meaning developed nat
urally to take on its various modern
applications, such as something un-
usually large, something dificult to
credit (as q tall story besides the
ideas already mentioned.

DREADFUL CREATURES THAT

ASKED.
Finally she had led them in mad
dash for the pond of Paddy the Beav-
er IN the hope of throwing them on
the trail by means of the water.
Slimlegs had been able to run little
faster than his sister and so 1t was
that he had safely reached the pond
with his mother. while his sister was
Just too late.
Mother had led Slimlegs around the
pond and up the Laughing Brook,
making sure that he kept in the water
all the way. SO they had come to the
second. or upper pond, and Mother
had led the way around the edge OF
this. keeping in the water. There she
had hidden Slimlegs in thicket near
the upper end of the pond, while she
kept watch. There was no sign that
they were being followed by the Dogs,
and at last Mrs. Lightfoot returned
and Law down beside Slimlegs. 1t was
the first chance he had had to ask
questions.
What were they? Those dreadful
creatures that tried to catch us?" he
asked.
Those were Dogs" replied Mrs.
Lightfoot.
"Was 1t because they were hungry
that they chased us?" asked Sl1mlegs.
NO" replied his mother bitterly.
"They do not belong in the Green
Forest. They do not have to hunt
other people for food. They belong
with two-legged creatures called men,
whom you have not yet seen. They
are cared for by them, and when they
hunt us it is not because they need
to. but because they find pleasure
in it."
Slimlegs shivered at the memory Of
what he had experienced and what
he had seen. Then he remembered
how Lightfoot had dashed in in an
effort to rescue the sister he would
never see again. He remembered how
big and handsome and brave this
stranger had appeared. and he asked
his mother who it was.

SETTLEMENT GYM

nal Dedication.

A gymnasium completing the Christ
Child Settlement House at sos Mas
eachusetts avenue northeast will be
formally dedicated next Sunday.
Archbishop Michael j. Curley OF
Baltimore and other high Catholic
dignitaries have been invited to at
tend.
Addition of the gymnasium gives
the Christ Child Society one OF the
most complete settlement houses In
the United States. OF brick and con-
crete construction, it is flreproof and
Is designed to withstand the hard
knocks that boys club, one Of the
adjuncts Of the settlement, can inf1ict
on q building.
Game Rooms in Basement.
The basement floor contains game
rooms for both junior and senior boys.
It also contains a training room for
the boxers and wrestlers, complete
with ring and mats, showers and lock-
ers, dressing room, one of the most
complete heating plants obtainable,
and all features that go to make
for the upbuilding of boys.
The huge gym on the second floor
Is designed for basket ball, indoor
base ball and similar sports. 1t is
designed strictly for playing and
room for spectators is scarce. The
only sport to which any sized audi
ence can be accommodated is boxing
or wrestling, for which a portable
ring will be erected and which will
permit the placing of seats on the
playing floor. The gym has spe-
cial boxing light which hangs over
the ring when needed and which
can be instantly dismantled and
pulled up out of the way for other
sports.

have just opened our registration
books for 1886 and in the first two
days IS boys took out memberships.
We hope to show a large increase
over last year"
! In addition to the various athletic
sports in which the boys participate,
there are also workshops for the
various crafts, and some of the boys
have had a hand in helping make
the necessary equipment for the
gym where it was found that money
could be saved by home construc-
