is a chance she will someday play
a great role in the life of a hu

Chapter 2
SINCE I waa lucky enough to
be chosen (or a Seeing -Eye
dog, my education started when I
was about 15 months old. I tried
my best to make the right Im
pression on my trainer. You see,
' there were traditions in our fam
ily that I wanted to live up to.
Mother told me we had an uncle
who made a great name for him
self as a state police patrol dog
on the Swiss national border. He
was in the service of the Customs.
THERE was an uncle to be proud
of!
The young man who was my'
trainer had studied long and hard
to be able to undertake this work,
so I wanted to work hard, too.
I went to "school" every day
and though my teacher was not

rock stairways lead to the bare
cap of Walpi, where stands the
ancient Hopi village apart from
our world of noise and strife,
within a world of silence and age
and peace, a place where mites
are meaningless and time un

becomes embraced in one change

present and ages yet to come . . .

My teacher covered his eyes and I
many mistakes, like walking under
a blind man himself, he pre
tended to be so I would learn the
things I would need most to. know
about taking care of a person
who was really blind.
My teacher Frank was his
the last queen of Hawaii before
those Isles became part of Amer
ica; he has letters from notables
from the far ends of the earth.
He's really a very swell guy
despite the fact I happen to be
his son which is one of the
reasons I transcribe his letter.
Another is it was worth tran
scribing. He pictures one of those
spots of the West that lure the
Rolling Wheels.
MANY YEARS BACK
it was he who took me into
Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains, and
along the calm waters of the
Puget Sound. We've wandered
through ' the pines of Oregon,
where stillness reigna, and watched
the sunrises over the Sierras and
Colorado's Rockies sometimes
felt the friendly winter warmth
of Western deserts on winter
days. It was from him I caught
the wanderlust, and from his wife
my mother that I learned how
to look for the beauty in nature. .
IT'S WORTH LOOKING
for, incidentally. In this age of
business we scurry along without
even seeing the sunsets and sun
rises. That mildly insane man
who stops to take a picture draws
curious glances. And an artist
. . .!. Did you ever Bee the sur
prised crowd that looks" over his
or her- shoulder and wonders
"how one gets that way?"
THERE'S ONE WAY
to be certain of catching this
brand of Insanity. It's to forget
business for a time, put the hum
ming wheels beneath one, and hie
off to the far places where tele
phones and alarm clocks are
unfamiliar.
I envy Claudia Cranston, wan
dering authoress. She dropped in
the other day to get some tips
on tropical photography.
"I'm going," she said, "to the
Orient, and maybe Sumatra, Bali,
Java and wherever else the mood
strikes me. I'll ... be seeing
you!" No phones will bother her
for awhile, not while the wheels
turn on.
. PANAMA TARPON
ONE of the finest fishing
spots In the world Is at the
Gutun spillway upon the Chagres
River In Panama. A club-house is
provided for anglers, with mod
ern accommodations. The tarpon
are drawn to the place by the
fish food which comes because of
the damming of the river and the
creation of the great freshwater
lake.
Fishermen find live bait the
best, and occasionally use a dark
colored fly with good results. An
angler s rod should be of steel,
for the task is not to hook one

about in abundance, and bite
readily many of them weighing

ALASKA'S SITKA
SITKA Is one of the cities of
the far northland attracting
visitors this season. Located on an

other islands, this old city goes

I wasn't afraid of him. I under

heights pretty soon, and we didn't
get Prank bruised very often af

Next I learned the words "For
ward," "Right," "Left." and what
they meant. These commands
came in very bandy when we
were out on the street, and Prank
wanted to go ts some certain part
of the city. I'd lead him to the
edge of the curb and then wait.
Frank would feel for the step
down, and then he'd say "For
ward," and away we would go.
We studied hard all day, and

yard and we'd have a romp. If I'd
done pretty well, I always got
some special little treat for a re
ward. Naturally, I worked for
that, too.
But most of all, as the other
kids in my class used to say, it

I'd be leading him along the
walk, and we'd come to a drive
way where a car was left across
the sidewalk. When we got to the
car, I'd stop, naturally, and watt
for orders. Frank would say "For
ward." Well, I knew well enough
I couldn't hop over the car and
take Frank with me. At first, I
didn't know what to do. Then I
thought of the sensible thing to
do (all we Shepherds try to be
sensible). I'd go right, then left,
then left, THEN forward. Thus I
learned another lesson . . . how to
use my natural "dog sense."

ready to meet my new charge.
Was I excited? It's a pretty im
portant thing in a dog's life when
he is given1 over to the person
with whom he is to spend the rest
of his life. I thought about that a
good deal.
What kind of a master would
he be? Or would it be a woman?
Would we travel'on the train . . .
or possibly a ship like the one
that brought my mother to Amer

Dwarf Carpeting Plants Aid
Decorative Effect of Paths
By Cecil Solly
PAVED paths have a charm of
their own, but the decorative
effect Is considerably improved if
plants are grown in the crevices.
The stone should be embedded in a
three-quarter-inch layer of sandy
loam, in order that the roots have
a good medium in which to spread.
The stock may be raised from
seed or a supply of plants ob
tained from a nurseryman. When
planting is done, do not disturb
the fine roots unduly; they should
be pressed firmly into position
and given a good watering.
For small stretches of paving
the dwarf carpeting plants are
most suitable, and of these Are
naria Balaerlca is one of the best.
It grows well in the shade,
spreads rapidly in a suitable
situation, and bears tiny white,
star-liko flowers freely from
April until June.
