Harry screamed at Naka:
Jump! The house is going!" 1t
wasn't any use. He knew as well
as Harry did what was happen
ing. The old grandmother went
first, her expression unchanging,
stolid and patient to the last.
For q long second Naka
watched; saw the greedy torrent
seize her body and, drag it to
muddy depths. And then he too
was gone.
Harry uttered a despairing yell
and ran to the edge Of the wash.
The rope that Naka had carried
dangled at his feet. Swiftly he
knotted it about himself.
! Across on the opposite side Of
the wash an overhanging tree still
resisted the current. Naka'S head
had struck that tree and he hung
there, half insensible, while the
torrent clawed at him.
Hold this rope!" Harry yelled
at the gaping men.
Carefully gauging his chances,
he plunged in. The wash, nor.
mally 20 feet wide, was q hundred
now. Stroking powerfully, dodg.
ing derelict logs and flotsam, he
fought to his pals side, tied the
rope under both their shoulders
while he watched the raging flood
bite at the tree trunk. Then he
lifted his arm and waved to the
group on the opposite shore to
haul away. ..L..
There were headlines in the
papers about the exploit. But they
were hardly noticed because there
were many more important things
happening in the valley than the
deaths Of q couple Of Superan-
nuated foreigners or the heroic
rescue Of one young fellow by an
other.
Just the same, the incident has
sequel, tangible sequel that is
there to be seen by all who pass

work while the sky was pouring
out its seemingly limitleSs cas-
cades Of rain.
But on the third day of the dis
aster, when radio reports indicated
that the valley was getting a fear
full mopping up, he decided to in
vestigate. He put on hip boots and
walked through swashy torrents to-
ward the Nakamura homestead.
He saw automobiles begged in
mire, once immemorially dry
washes turned into murky, swollen
torrents. He heard tales of dis
aSter, of hairbreadth escapes, of
tragedies. Houses had been up
rooted and carried away.
People had drowned. AS he drew
nearer to Naka's house premoni-
tionS of trouble came to him. How
could they have escaped in all

could have seen the house but now
the impenetrable murk obscured
all objects beyond a few yards.
"Oh, them Japs? Dunno. but
wouldn't be surprised if their
house was gone"
Harry pushed on, dread in his
heart. A little distance from the
house he met one of Naka's uncleS.
House going" he told Harry.

feared for the answer.

Harry ran, making the best
speed he could through the muddy
road. He was afraid, but despite
forewarning was not prepared for
the sight that met his eyes when
he reached the homestead.
The youngsters had been gath.
cred in a solidly puilt stone vege'
table cellar. AS the waters had
risen, the grownups had taken ref
uge gradually higher until they
had been forced on the roof.
Then the torrent had eaten a
huge cash out of the walls of Big
Tujanga wash, leaving the house
standing almost directly over the
stream. Another such mouthful
and it would go.

An ancient ape once upon time
Disliked exceedingly. to climb,
And so he picked him out a tree
And said: "Now this belongs to me
II have bunch the monks are NUTS
And I can make them gather nuts
And bring the bulk of them to me
BY claiming title to this tree"
He took a green leaf and reed
And wrote himself a title deed.
Proclaiming pompously and slow:
"All monkeys by these present
know!" Y
Next morning when the monkeys
came
To gather nuts he made his claim:
All monkeys picking from this tree
Must bring their gathered nuts to me
Cracking them on equal shares,
The meats are mine, the shells are
theirs"
''By what right?" they cried amazed
Thinking the ape was surely crazed
"By this he answered, you'll per-

Which is a proper title deed
Made in precise and formal shape
And sworn before a fellow ape"

Yet it and all it's Entertainments

The puzzled monkeys sat about
They could not make the question out,
Plainly, by precedent and law.
The apes procedure showed no flaw.
And yet no matter what he said,
The stomach still denied the head.
Up spoke one sprightly monkey then,
Monkeys are monkeys; men are men.
1.-The ape should try his legal capers
On man, who may respect his papers.
We don't know deeds, we do know
nuts;
And in spite of ifs and ands and butts.
1--WE know who gathers and unmeats
them,
By monkey practice slso eats them.
So tell the ape and all his hunkies
No man tricks can be played on
monkeys"
Thus apes still climb to get their food,
Since monkeys minds are Grass and
crude.
And monkeys are so ill-advised,
They eat their nuts uncivilized.

WISHING
By L. MOSES JONES

WIStlNG
The other day as 1 did stand
Upon the corner wishing
That to the oceax : could go
With that crowd off a-fishing;
1 tell you now made vow
That could i surely go,
I'd not begrudge to anyone
My left foot's little toe.
Just then from nowhere into sight
A big fat man came trudging,
Right on my small toe he did light
And 1 could do no budging;
Stood on his heel and turned around,
NV little toe he shattered,
Then he walked off and left me there
AS little, though, it mattered.
Pulled off my shoe and sock to look,
q made an awful face)
And where my little toe had been
Was naught but empty space;
So, while I'm staying home in bed
Awaiting for to grow
Upon my poor old shattered foot
A brand-new little toe,
Nv /.
1 beg with tears in both my eyes
AS large as snow or hail ::
To get me those subscriptions, folks.
And send them in the mail;
Now, that instead of winning once,
Twas twice lost, you know
I lost that ocean fishing trip,
And lost my little toe.
And before somebody thinks I have
really lost toe or a hand or an arm,
let me say that the above was writ
ten only for fun. But I don't expect
many to think it funny.
I only wrote it to see if any one
would read it and then be foolish
enough to mail me a sub. No, I do not
expect to go to the ocean to go in
swimming or to go in wishing, as I
have had my vacation.
Well and happy,
I remain your
