HELLO EVERYBODY:
IL Today's Distinguished Adventurer didn't write his
own story. He can neither read nor write.
That, of course, is nothing new in the realm of adven-
ture. Plenty of great adventures couldn't as much as sign
their own names, but that didn't stop them from getting
into tight spots or from living lives that were packed full
of thrills and danger.
And it's the thrills and the danger we want in this col
umn. I don't give a whoop how well you can write, or
whether you can write at all. The writing part of it is my
job, and all I want you boys and girls to do is give me the
facts. Write 'em down on an old piece Of wrapping paper,
or if you can't write, get somebody else to write 'em down
for you.
That's what today's Distinguished Adventurer did. His
name, by the way, is Jip. He is one-half foxhound and one
half pointer, and he's one of the best al-aromd bird and rabbit dogs in
the state of Illinois.
UPS boss, Newton Belgium, of Chicago, sent m e all the dope about
UPS adventure. Newt raised Jp from a pup. and he was right there
when things began to happen. 1t was O a cold day in December, 1888,

come thirsty and started out to get a drink, but the thin ice

The three men stood. O. the bank and looked helplessly alto n another.
There wasn't a thing they could do for Jp, so they stood watching
