Whltefoot listened without saying a word until Dan ny’s story was ended. Then he gravely shook his head. “It was a crazy thing to do, CouBin Danny. It certainly was a crazy thing to do,” said he. “What was a crnzy thing to do?” demanded Danny, looking puzzled. “Going so far away from home when there was no need of It,” re plied Whltefoot. "I thought you were too wise to take such foolish risks. At your age you should know better. It might be excusable In a joungster with no family to think of. but one of your age should have known better.” “I guess you are right, Cousin Whltefoot,” replied Danny meekly.

Cousin White foot," said he. “I really don’t feel as If I could face danger again this night. My nerves are rather upset. This Is a very nice, comfortable place you have here. It Is one of the most comfortable places I’ve been in for a great while.” Whitefoot looked pleased. “I’m glad you like It,” said he. “I think It is rather good myself. I have Dear Mr. Wynn: I have a puzzle for you to solve for me. I like to bet on horse races but always break about even. Here’s how tt Is: One day I win hut the next day 1 lose. What can 1 do? l'ours truly, WILL l. EVKUWYN. Answer: That is very simple, Just play every other day. Dear Mr. Wynn: My father says it costs from $3 to $f> to have a tooth pulled by gas. Don’t you think It could be done cheaper if the dentists used kero sene? Yours truly, A. KEETOOTH. Answer: If you're not having the tooth pulled, why worry? Dear Mr. Wynn: We are a New York family, and my son, who has Just graduated from high school. Is preparing for college.

Now the thing for you to do. Cousin Danny, is to stay here the rest of the night and make your self right at home.” To this Danny agreed, for he really did not feel equal to going any farther that night. So he and Whitefoot slept a little and talked a great deal. Danny learned many things about the Green Forest and in turn told Whitefoot many things about the Green Meadows. W’hlte foot was sure that the Green For est was the finest place In all the Great World in which to live. Dan ny was sure that It didn’t compare with the Green Meadows, and they argued the matter over and over. But the argument was quite good natured and simply showed that the things one Is used to are the things one loves best To Danny the Green Forest was filled with terrible dangers. To Whitefoot the Green Meadows seemed a place where there could be no such thing as real safety. So they argued and argued and had a perfectly splen did time. ©, T. W. Burgess.—WNU Service.

THROUGH A W>mans Eyes By JEAN NEWTON A LESSON FROM 1 HE ZOO » 13 HEEDING, self-control? Those are just terms for artificial ity and hyprocrisy," suid a militant member of our would-be "free" younger generation. Why should we pretend things we don't feel—why restrain impa tience or irritation, why try to gloss over situafions to uvold any feeling of friction? If certain re actions or sentiments are natural and sincere, why not show them? "With everybody honestly show ing what they feel there is much more chance of the causes of dis agreement and Irritation being re moved in a natural way, and the harmony which results then would be a true harmony, not an affected one.” Why? 1 wish 1 could take our young friend one day to the zoo where something in the weather or some thing else which could not be helped had adversely affected the disposi tions of the residents there. For that is one place where there is no “affectation,” no "artificiality”— and no breeding, which in other words is consideration for others. Of course our friend would uot stay there long enough to make much of a study of the matter—no longer, probably, than necessary to get away. But the din ot very In hurmonious noises would be sutti cient to illustrate the answer to her question as to why it is not feasible for humans always to Indulge their Impulses, to do In the presence ot others what they really want to do, to express without restraint our like and dislike impression. To carry that to its logical conclusion, saying things would be followed perhaps by throwing things; In any event the result would be not un like the result In a zoo. of condi tions adversely affecting the genial Ity of the inmates. © Bell Syndicate —WNU Service.

ONE SUMMER NIGHT By ANNE CAMPBELL SITTING beside you on the cool gray stone. I saw through your dear eyes the summer night. The trees were shadowy, their dark leaves blown By perfumed breezes ... In the misty light Of the far moon, I caught the pure white gleam Of your loved profile. . . . With your quiet gaze Turned on the stars, lost in a hap py dream. You wandered far from earth’s perplexing ways. I saw the world beyond you . , . reaching space. The silhouette of trees against the sky . . . And knew that nothing counted but your face. You were my world. . . . The moon that rode so high. The stars, as lost as I in mists of blue, Were nothing. There was only love and you. © Western Newspaper Union. Minute make-ups =========== By V.
