So With thlH forest service squtttlliiK case which Is again in the news columns. Suppose, for instance, that you o.wned a .sizeable piece of timber land. Suppose a'.so that you did tot live near the land but Hi nt you employed capable men to patrol it tuiu look after It. You have In structed these men fully and laid down'., certain rules concerning the administration, of your pro petty, rules to which they niusl alhere or lose their Jobs. Then mippose a few fellows decide they V'aitt to live on your land and ac tually do so without any sort ol ijcrmlssloii. What would you do? Or, more accurately, what would you expect your men to do uudei such circumstances? i'ou would do what any land ow n er would do nnd what the govern ment of the United States hah done through its employees, have the men ejected from the premises. That, briefly is the situation In the Davis-Best case. The question as to whether ol not the land that these men seek tolbwii is foreBt or , nut 'cultural land Is one for the determination otltlie proper officials. Hest and Drfvls can and have taken UiIf matter up with our representatives IireongreBs, enlisting, their sup port lietoro, tho proper bureau ot government,, which is proper. There Is '.mi attempt here to decltlo I he niflts of the case Itself. Tho. point Is .that the men were quite proper ly! ejected from the foror.t. It their project is to be successful It must be decided by regular ami peaceable means. , They can never accomplish anything by this do flunco ot existing regulations. ;The Case of Oimst'ead THEUE Is some criticism lit n portion of the press at tho cf loi't under way to obtain a presi dential pardon for Emory.

GOODNIGHT STORIES By Max TreO "Once there wag a little mouse Lived by itself In a great big house Then there came a cat And that's that." Shadow Song. You don't realize how important it is lo have a good shadow. If you have a good shadow be thank ful. If you happen to have a bad one well, 1 am afraid you'll have to put up with It aa best you can, "Stop!"cned Knarf. : for once you have a shadow it sticks. Mij, Flor, Hanid and Yam were good shadows. Put Knarf was quite a bad one. I'll tell you what he did the other night and you'll see. It was right in the middle of the night. Everyone was asleep -except the shadows, who were very much awake since the moon was shin ing brightly. On moonlit nights the shadows never sleep. If you keep one eye open on the next moonlit night you'll see your own shadow go flitting up and down across the walls. That's what Mij, Flor, Hanid, Yam and Knarf started to. do. Play ing, shadow-tag, they j called ,it. Then Knart aald: "Let's play something more exciting.',-, , . "What, for instance?" they ask ed. . . , "Let's play roll-and-tumble."....

It was "all cold in their hands." ; Sunlight, swept over, the plateau in great, sparkling .waves. It bil lowed about one like a shining, exhllarant sea. From the stupendous architec ture In the canyon walls Pat had marked in one mighty edifice that marched in the loveliest . purple columns, story upon story, to a tower of bewitching pink. Each day she told Hilly tales about these fantastic castles. - , . Now she stood with the little boy holding fast to her hand, feel ing not sunlight but a bleakness and hurricane. Last Monday morn ing just about this time she'd driv en away with Dickie. How poetic Laura had looked, wiving her hand. "Is the tall fairy looking at us? Pat you're MEAN! You don't listen at allf" , . . . , "Yes, I listen," Pat answered, staring Into the little boy's dark oyes. His hands rested so trust ing in htirs. Very slender and soft. Sho could crush it up like petals. Today they were going to take this child of Barbara liryce's this mere boy and deliver him to some mysterious third party. Even a eold, unscrupulous fellow like Slim called it murder. - ' Thero was nothing Pat could do. Ace was sone now to make sure of the trail he'd found. In five or six hours he'd return.

Wild, with resistance,. Pat flung from the incredible prospect. Jump hide dash herself to death anything but meek acceptance. Her mind flew .outward madly. Impossible that this should be the end. . She walked up to the ledge where she was free to wander. They railed thhs section of the pla teau Pnt's "boudoir." It was about 300 yards from the plane and some what shut off by jutting, irregular rock piles. There were tall monu ments resting precariously on slen der sandstone bases:, there were cones and turrets. Heads of giant tigers and fantastic birds were modeled magnificently in the cliffs. And here, reached by three crude stono steps, was a great overhang ing rock. It slpt out boldly, a full fifteen feet from the canyon wall. The wall. caved back obliquely. "I could jump from here," Pat thought, growing faint with the mere image of it. "Run out there and leap before they could come upon me before they could even see me. (let a parachute and jump!" She closed her eyes and went through the dixzying performance. How often she had strapned the parachute to her; how ofter she had listened to Guy's instructions. Jump! Pull the rip-cord on sen sation of falling. And Lindy describes it so cas ually in that quiet book of his: "Then I stepped out on the cowl ing; then I jumped." Ah. yes even from a plane, even into rh-nr ait It look netvt tre meudous nerve. And with a child ' Holding a child in her arm.t ? He would struggle: be would be for they had never heard of it.

"Isn't this a fine . game?" he shouted as he tumbled from the edge of a frying pau on the high est shelf down to the tioor. "It certainly is! the others re plied. "Let's all play it." Jlut at this instant a curious thing happened. .The. cat,, which was sleeping in oma of - ttte dark corners, opened a corner of an eye, and to her delight saw what sue supposed to be a mouse scampering across the floor. "Stop!" cried Knarf. "It's me!" That made no difference to the cat, which was still certain it was at. mouse, and poor Knart was obliged to roll and tumble now in good earnest, . for if the cat had caught him she would have , made quick work of hira. This way and that he dodged, just a hair ahead of her whiskers. .In vain did the others try to catch her by the tail and, hold her back. She whisked them off as though they were noth ing at all, scattering them in all di rections. Frightened, Knarf rolled and tumbled into the hall, again and made for his master's bedroom with hungry pussy , close - behind him. In through the door he went. "Safe at last!" he cried, as, with a spring, he lauded at the foot of his master's bed. But he, didn't reckon on the cat, who sprang right after him. Alas, instead of. catching Knarf, pussy grasped his master's big too, which was just sticking out of the corn er of the blanket. And, of course, the poor boy woke up with a start and blamed the cat, though it was much more the fault of his shadow. Copyright, ,1930, . Newspaper Fea ture Service, Inc. A,,. Story, of .

She had the symbols written down on, a sheet of paper in the noeket near the radio. "Guy SOS I Patricia Dawn," she'd practiced on the stones with dots and tlaphes. And she'd figured out "Grand Can yon." She had all the letters she needed for the two words. .But all week one or the other of. them had been within sight or earshot. Whenever, she went Into the cabin, they strolled up and watched.. The parachute a brand new one bought just two weeks ago was in the chest under the seat of tho cabin.

To that spring, a mile and a half away. She would have the time! So excited that she dared not meet his eyes, Pat heard his ap proach. The next moment her prayerful thanks dropped into a little black pit ot alarm. "Come on, kid take a walk," the man was saying. "Come along we'll see a rabbit." "No you go. Go alone. I don't like rabbits. I'll stay with Pat." "All right, then!" Slim stooped down, picked the boy up, swung him under his arm and strode off. The child kicked. He reached out his hands with tensed fingers and hysterically called on Put lo make him let go . " . . They disappeared behind that hump In the table. ' Then Pat ran after him. Sho tore .wildly. Sho called, with a valiant attempt at breeziuess: "Tom! Tom!" . . He swung about and with his lips drawn back over white, gleam ing fanss waited: "What'll you have,, girl?" , She was. almost fainting. "He won't do anything to him they won't hurt him!" fcho told herself with sick terror. Her tor tured eyes followed until they were into the gulley.
