" Improper Procedure
THE simplest way to undei'RtaiKl
something that is nut ordinarily
familiar is to see It denciiuert in
everyday coninion place terms. 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

matter up with our representatives

Is '.mi attempt here to decltlo I he
niflts of the case Itself. Tho. point
Is .that the men were quite proper

their project is to be successful It
must be decided by regular ami
peaceable means. , They can never

bothering yourself with such

that the girl conducts herself in a
proper manner, there is no reason
why anybody, outside of members

you about your c-haice of associates.,

"Once there wag a little mouse
Lived by itself In a great big

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

Then Knart aald: "Let's play

child to him. , He wanted the kid;
they could have the coin. 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. Wait
through the stark, panic-filled day
. . . helpless, grotesquely trapped.
Walt till they came and snatched
Ihe child from her arms; tilt they
sent her hurling from the cliff.
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.
"It's not so easy lo, play," said
Knarf, "but if you watcu xue very
closely perhaps you'll be able, tu
loam It- He sure to .taue notice
oi everything jthat 1 do. "i (,
- With thai he rolled himself up
into a little .ball and went tumtn
,ing oif .liie wail. . "Follow me:',he
cntd, as he rolled uown tne haii
toward the kitcnen. They all lau
after him. He was no bigger than
a ball ot wool. Faster aud faeiui
,euL uulu be-rolled right iiito
the kitchen and began rolling ami
tumbling under the chairs and ta
ble, In and out of the cupboaid and
aU around the pots -and pans and
Sieves and grattis that were Jymg
on the shelves or hanging from the
wail.
"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.

little boy in her lap.
"Listen, Billy, I've got a new

The littlo boy put his hands up
to Pal's face and asked seriously:

"How am I looking?"
Widening his eyes making
them very big and solemn:
"Like that. And you hold my

, "Yes I have to hold you tight.

she would knock on the holy door
ot human habitation again? ..
If Siim would only-wander off!
All week Pat had been praying
for ten minutes alone in the plane.
With ten minutes she could havo
sent out that SOS Guy had taught
her. 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. The suit she wore when
flying w.as there, too. Would any
way be given her to get these?
About 3 o'clock that afternoon
Slim took the canvas water, bag
and came toward her. He was go
ing for water! 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. "He just wants to
keep him safe." , . ,
Ah but maybe they were taking
him away now maybe she would
never see the child again.
Pat flew to the . cabin. She
reached for that pocket. The yel
low paper, was Ihere. Three dots.;
then three dashes; three dots
again. That was SOS.
She tapped It on ihe little disk
ot the sending apparatus. And
drippin? with apreheiision, she
made out the rest of her message
"Patricia Dawn. Grand Canyon."
She made a mistake tapped it
all- over again. Seven times Pat
sent out that message.
