CHAPTER XX.
A Long Journey.
By sunrise Mits Kitty Cat hai
trotted t least mile along the road
that passed the peddler's house, Shr
wanted to get a safe distance away
before the family got up and turned
loos the dog that had barked the
night before, when he arrived.
Miss Kitty remembered clearly
that the wagon had been climbing
a long hill before it turned into the
peddler's dooryard. So without hes
itating she started down the road
She knew that in that direction lay
1'lcasant Valley and her home at
Farmer Green's.
Having put the first mile of her
journey beh'nd her, Mis Kitty stop
ped beside a little brook and drank
her fill of cool, sweet water. She
was Very thirsty, because she hadn't
had a drink since the evening before.
A pretty wood stretched beyond
the brook, tempting Miss Kitty Cat
to explore it. At that hour of the
morning there were many birds
twittering among the trees. And
80.
"But now I must shift for myself."
spry chipmunks were frisking about
in search of their breakfast. Miss
Kitty Cat just naturally began to
think of her, own breakfast.
"If I were at home, Mrs. Green
would be setting a saucer of miik
on the woodshed steps about this
time," she murmured. "But now I
must shift for myself."
Luckily Miss Kitty was quite able
to find something to eat, as a sur
prised meadow mouse soon discov
ered, y
After breakfasting, Miss Kitty
lingered a while to tease the birds,
who scolded her shrilly, calling her
a' tramp -and telling her-to get out
'of fheir 'woods. '
Of course, Miss Kitty had to stay
there for a time; after that, to' let
the birds know that they couldn't
frighten her away. She scared them
almost out of their wits by threaten
ing to climb up where their nests
were. But she didn't do more than
sharpen her claws against a tree
trunk... That; -alone was enough to
throw them into a panic,
At last, after she had bothered the
' birds quite enough, Miss Kitty Cat
set off for Pleasant y Valley once
more. " Sometimes v she traveled
through the fields' sometimes she
jogged; along the roads; sometimes
she jumped to the'top of a "stone
wall arid used that .for a highway.
And always when she heard the
creak and rattle of a wagon, as the
sun rose higher and higher, she
crept into the bushes and hid until
she had the road to- herself again.
ff Miss Kitty hadn't been home
sick, she would have thought her
adventures a great lark. But some
how she couldn't get Mrs. Green's
house out of her mind. Especially
the thought of the kitchen, with its
delicious odorj of seven-layer cakes
baking in the oven, and doughnuts
frying on top of the range, made
Miss Kitty's nose twitch. And her
. own particular warm spot under the
range, where she basked away long
hours! When she recalled that, it
was no wonder that her pace quick
ened.
Perhaps Miss Kitty Cat herself
couldn't have told exactly how she
knew the way back to Farmer
Green's place. No doubt she wouldn't
have told, had she known: for she
was one of the kind that keeps such
things to themselves. She never
even explained to old dog Spot, after
ward, where she spent the three
nights that she was away from the
tarm.
Anyhow, Miss Kitty Cat kept
plodding along. And one afternoon
when she came out of a patch of
woods on a hilltop, she saw some'
thing looming right ahead of her
that looked familiar.
It was Blue Mountain. And she
knew that on the other side of it
lay Pleasant Valley and her home
at Farmer Green's.

thoughts than it did half a dozen
years ago you have not improved it.
and if you have not unproved in
your mind, you are going backward.

Mv coodness, why don't you
take some of this wonderful clam
chowder, lill?" demanded her hus
band, looking very severely at the
dainty face across the dinner table.
I just don t want it, tiouey.
"But, why have it cooked?"
"Because it's your favorite soup. I
cant endure clams, anyway. I once
went clamming' with father, and I
will never forget the sunburn 1 Oh,
it's a horrible memory!"
Jack sniffed, as he philosophically
attacked the chowder. (
Well, you don t know what you rc
missing! It's so silly not to eat
everything."
"If you dont like some tningsr
"Yes. Nature has a wonderful
way of distributing certain minerals
and phosphates and . things in all
sorts of food. One should take them
for the variety, to keep the body m
good condition."
Why, Jack, you talk nice a puonc
library book. I will not eat clams.'
That settled it, and Jack subsided
until the next course.
"What on earth is this?"
"It's veal cutlet." dear. Don't you
know it when yoit see it?"
Well, I don t want it. , May&e i
ate too much chowder. But I never
did care for veal." 1 -
"Since when? '
"Well, I saw a lot of innocent
looking: calves being led into a
slaughter house the other day over
on Tenth avenue. Their big brown
eyes were so gentle. They seemed
like children. . .
"You big suly thing!
"Well, a man can have a little
sentiment, can't he? I'm no canni
bal anyway."
Jill tactfully dropped the subject,
ate her cutlet in solitary enjoyment,
while Jacks hunger was appeased
with some cold roast beef which she
found in the refrigerator.
'We should never take tr.e Iiie we
can not give!" said Jill, primly, half
an hour later, as Jack viciously swat
ted the rtrst tly ot the season.
'But that s a fly, dear! Don t you
know that flies spread more disease
than any other animal or insect m
the world. Didn't you ever see them
magnified on a screen with their
hooked legs."
"Yes, indeed, said the perfect
wife. "And I saw ' their big eyes.
They reminded me of calves. Such
innocent looking eyes it its wrong
to kill calves why pick on poor in
nocent flies?"
Jack sniffed, and lit his pipe with
a great show of indignation.
' I don t dare express an opinion in
this house," he said, and sought sol
ace in a western novel ot adventure,
where the bad man killed 40 men
in one gambling brawl.; '
Next evening his appetite was
whetted by a delicious odor as he
entered the hallway.

"There Came Out This Calf1
A SERMON FOR BUSINESS MEN
By the Rev. Karl Reiland, Rector of St. George' Church in New
York, written for Commerce and Finance.
And there came out this calf. Exodus 32:24.
Moses was the political and Aaron the spiritual leader of the
Hebrews.
Once when Moses returned to camp fter an extended absence
he found the people worshiping a golden calf and dancing around
it, and Aaron complacently in sympathy with the business: Moses
was furious, and in his wrath ground the idol to powder and de
manded an explanation from Aaron, who said:
"Let not the anger of my lord wax hot, thou knoweBt the
people that it is bent on mischief. They said unto me, 'Make us
gods that shall go before us; and I said unto them, 'Who hath any
gold?' They took it off themselves and gave it to me, and I cast
it into the fire and there came out this calf."
The explanation of this self-made calf sounds very child-like
and naive. Aaron made the mold and cast the calf. He presided
over the entire affair, and when faced with indignant rebuke he
stammered in embarrassed confusion, "There came out this calf."
I enjoy reading the amusing episode, and tracing through it
one of life's most familiar lessons.
Aaron must have been an easy-going, good-natured, lenient
and kindly soul, and the sternness of the disciplinary Moses threw
into bolder relief his amiable qualities. The people knew they
could get their way with him, and successfully urged him into ac
quiescence with a program which in the end brought upon a sus
ceptible and mistaken leader distressful shame and reproach.
I doubt whether much of the wickedness of people is delib
erate, intentional or contrived. The personal failures and they
are many; the character wrecks and they are numerous; the
broken hearts and they are manifold, are largely due to thought
lessness, to carelessness, to easy-going good nature.
Men never intend to fail, or forfeit their destiny, or fracture
their hopes. They merely accept the insinuating suggestions, and
flattering implications, the subversive cunning of designing mis
chief, and arc led on to unanticipated remorse. "If I could start
over again !" "I never thought this would come to meJ." "I never
dreamed of such a thing!" These expressions, and many similar
ones, are pitiful explanations of why golden values, cast into the
trying fires of alluring fashion and the mold of, wordly form, come
out distorted or destroyed and leave us standing in embarrassment
and confusion beside our wretched achievements with no better
explanation than "I cast it In, and there came out this calf." "I
did mean well, but it turned out badly,"
It is better to keep at the heart of every day some principles
of discipline, and not grow heedless of them. We need constantly
to pull ourselves together in obedience to our code of honor and
self-respect, and not for fear or favor to relax our grip, or take
liberties with our supposed immunity from the danger of
foolishness.
I believe that quite as many people get into deep trouble from
flattery and conceit as from any inherent viciousness. A man who
knows when he is a fool, or is likely to be. one, is quite intelligent.
Let him watch out for every kind of influence, so he ahall not
be imposed upon by the wicked, nor be silenced by big names, nor
be made proud by attention of the many or the great, n.or be lulled
into a yielding of principle by the flatteries of culture, connivance,
currency or companionship. Once let self-respect or common sense
get a dent and the journey to a badly battered career is likely to
be rather a matter of time than of choice,, because when one is
distressed he loses confidence, and few have the courage to con
fess failure, and in spite of all start out again.
Funerals are sad things, but to be a chief mourner at the
funeral of dead hopes, once bright and fair, is as sad as anything
I know. To have to stand beside some mess of mismanagement,
while the rebuking finger of reproach points to our folly with
searching interrogation, as with a guilty sense we stand there, the
muddle-headed maker and the inarticulate artist of a disagreeable
design we would willingly repudiate is a very hard experience,
for we can blame no one but ourselves, not others, not chance, not
fate, not the devil, and not our loved ones- but ourselves.
"There came out this calf" is no more intelligent a3 an answer
than the calf is as an animal.
Some people cannot say "yes" and "no" on the merits of the
case; they are easy marks for the prevailing influence; they do
things for no better reason than that they are asked; go, because
they are invited; yield, because they are tempted; and are ruined
on request. Others compromise themselves so easily when flat
tered by a little deceitful praise that one would suppose they
thought it an honor to be invited to go to the devil.
No age is safe beyond assault'; no sanctities are secure beyond
intrusion. The reputable wisdom of years is no more proof
against seductive influence than is the inexperienced rashness of
youth, nor does the married obligation make us less susceptible
than the single life to the lure of temptation if we are not rigidly
unyielding. One has bitter thoughts when he stutters over his
foolishness as Aaron did and attempts to explain hi failures by
asserting that they were due to the automatic production of some
thing no higher than a calf in mental attitude. At such a time one
may know enough to know that he has ignored one of the best
things in this world the leadership of his own life. He who keepg
that, and does it with credit to himself and to his God, will have
a satisfaction which will never fail.
You often see a painter or a sculptor photographed beside a
specimen of his work. He is proud of it, and rightly so. Now im
agine someone like Aaron photographed beside the wreck and ruin
he has made of life's chances, he would not be proud or happy
about it How seriously do I take my job with its delights and
its drawbacks? Do I slight it, skim over it, or undervalue it? Do
I deceive anybody more than myself if I do not put my heart
into it?
What is my real attitude toward home and friends? Is my
best at the disposal of these? Are there any influence either of
indolence or indirection mixing with the fabric of the future, to
bring me embarrassment or pain? On the other hand, am I putting
the best that is in me to the limit into my effort to develop every
chance and priviletre that is given me? If I am, I know this no
one will ever be able to come upon the scene of my activities and
point the finger of discredit and reproach, and make me speech
less and ashamed.
No calf comes out, unless the mold for it is made, and not
then, unless the gold is poured into the mold.
"Study to show thyself approved of God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed."
