Eyes For The Dark
J THE STORY OF A DOG
By Paula
Hilda, a Belgian Shepard. tails (he
story of htr life ai a Sealng-eye dog.
When the was sixteen months old iha
was given to Clare, a sixteen-year-old
blind girt. Tha two were great com
paniont and Hilda's life was free from
care or anxiety. But, Clare had an older
brother, Al, who was a young man tax
ing life very lightly. He was fond of
Hilda, and one day, while Clare was
visiting en eye -doctor with her father,
Al took the dog for a walk. They
stopped at a pool-hall where Al owed
a gambling debt. Steve and Charlie,
proprietors of the etteblishment, told
Al they would hold Hilda for the debt.
Al had twenty-four hours to get the
money or elte Hilda would be sold.
Unable to raise the money the young
man returned during the evening and
beggad for the dog. He unlocked the
door of the room over the cellar where
Hilda was chained, a scuffle followed
end at that mc-nont Hilda found
herself capable of strength she had
never dreamed was hers. She broke the
ancient chain and she and Al escaped.
Chapter Eleven
ABOUT two blocks from our
house Al led me into a ga
rage. I'll admit I did not care to
make any more visits with that
young man, but I went, feeling
nothing more would happen to me,
(I was sure Al had learned his
lesson.) x
The end of the chain was still
fastened to my collar. Naturally
Al couldn't take me home with
that tell-tale evidencn.
"Joe," he called to a man who
was half way under a car, "can 1
use a pair of your pliers?"
"Sure, Al. Help yourself."
"Okay, Hilda, you just hold still
and I'll soon have this thing off.
You twisted or bent it or some
thing when you broke loose. There
you are . . all okay."
He put the pliers back on a
shelf. I felt better, I assure you,
with that clanking chain off,
I was completely myself and
calm again by the time we reached
our house. Clare was there in the
lighted doorway, waiting. Her
anxious face pained me, and I
gave a short sharp greeting to let
her know I was home again. Her
arms were soon around me.
Ws joined the rest of the family
in the dining room and truly 1
could not help but feel sorry for
Al. The look on his father's face
was one Til never forget,
"Well, Al what have you to say?
Where have you had Hilda?"
Before the boy could answer,
Clare had, with her groping hands,
found the place on my throat
where the collar had torn my flesh
a little. The hair there must have
been matted and damp.
Menu of the Week
By Joan Andrews
ONE of tha biggest problems
of the woman who cooks
three meals a day, seven days

foodstuffs in unusual and original
ways. This interesting recipe for

solution to the problem. A supper

around this stuffed artichoke
recipe. Here It is:

"Al, Al."she cried. "What's the
matter with Hilda's throat? Why
it is wet, and it feels like the skin
is broken. What is it?" She was
trembling and frightened.
The whole family gathered
around me, and Clare's mother
sent the small brother to fetch a
basin of warm water and a cloth.
Poor Al stood back looking wor
ried and humble. With all that
boy's faults 1 simply couldn't help
a fondness for him.
Clare's mother and I both re
assured her my wounds were not
important at all and that 1 was
still as good as new. Soon she
, stopped her anxious questioning.
Her father walked over to the
sideboard and lit his pipe. I lay
down at Clare's feet . , . one paw
across her instep. It was good to
be safe again. Clare's 1 title broth
er was sent off to bed. Her moth
er sat folding and unfolding a
napkin. The room was very still.
"Alright!" Al burst out. "111
tell you the truth."
"Good boy, Al," I thought. "I
knew you had it in you. Out with
it . . . You're growing up."
"I took Hilda for a walk. I went
with her to a pool hall where I've
been before. When I got there I
met some . . . friends of mine." He
stopped.
"Please go on, Al." It was Clare.
Her voice was low and gentle . . .
forgiving, too, perhaps. At least
her tone said she would under
stand. "Well, I owed these men some
money. Not much ... It was a
debt. I couldn't pay it so they kepi
Hilda."
"Gracious, Al." His mother's
voice was shocked. His father only
stared at his pipe and looked wor
ried and, suddenly, old.
"I went out to try and get the
money. I knew I couldn't get it. I
just walked around. That's why I
didn't come home to dinner. I
didn't want to come home without
her. Later I went back and told
them she wasn't my dog and
they'd have to let me take her.
There was a fight Hilda broke the
chain they had on her, and we got
away," He looked miserable.
Clare stroked my head and mur
mured to me the way she does,
After a long time the father said,
"How did you happen to owe these
men money, Al? What kind of
debt was it?"
"I ... 1 ... It was a gambling
debt" The words must have near
ly choked him. He dropped into a
chair and sank his face in his
hands.
"How am you going to pay it,
son?" It was the mother speaking
now . . . low and patiently.
"I don't know. Ma. I don't know."

In tho deep, deep woods In a little

One rlny Bohbelt said to Dob

And Dobhott answered, "All
right. And I'll stay at homo and
fix our supper."
Dobhott began to gather things
for supper, lie gathered some nice
white mushrooms and took those
into the hut. Then ha discovered
they were out of milk, so he went
out and got a big pitcher full from
the milk-weed.
Then ha took some of his ground
acorn flour and started to mia
some biscuits. He mixed the flour
with milk-weed milk and butter
from the butter-cups. When they

LIBERTY!
IT WAS not long after the sur
render of Cornwallis that a
peace treaty waa signed between
England and America. John Ad
ams was made minister to the
court of SL James. There he rep
resented the United Statos.
Now America was truly free.
Let us see what she did with this
new freedom.
Thero were plenty of reaions
why she wanted freedom, and
most of them were becauso of the
things she did not want to do. Slio
did not want the King to tell Iter
what to do. She did not want to
pay British taxes. She did not
want British-appointed Bishops in
America. She did not want Par
liament to tax tea and several
other articles.- There were many
reasons why the people of the
United States banded togethei to
fight off the things they did not
want to do.
Now the cause was won and
the real work of doing the thlncs
that must be done was considered.
All the many departments of gov
ernment that had been handled by
Great Britain must now be under
taken by the new government of
the United States, and since there
had not been any government one
must be formed.
Then the question arose, Whut
sort of government shall it be?
Suggestions came from every
state and citizen. The frontier peo
ple wanted one form of govern
ment, the coast people another.
Another difficulty arose. The for-

SUSAN put her doll in her bug
gy and started out. She was
going into the woods for a picnic,
all by herself. Of courso she had
Elmirn, the doll, with her, and she
was just as good as another per
son. Susan had two jelly sand
wiches that sho had gotten from
the kitchen and these wore to be
her lunch.
Sho walked a long time nlong
different paths in the woods. It
was hard to tell what time It was,
because the trees were so thick
that you couldn't see tho sun very
well. However, pretty soon Susan
got hungry, so she ate the two
sandwiches. Sho played under the
trees with Elmira for a long time.
Then sho thought she had better
start home.
Susan started back. She walked
and walked, but she didn't scorn
to be gotting anywhere. It started
to get dark and she was very
frightened. Finally the awful truth
came to her. She was lost I
It was gotting very dark and
she got more and more scared.
Just when she was ready to alt
down and cry, she heard someone
calling, "Susan, Susan."
It waa her father! With a glad
cry ihe ran towards him. Luckily
he had found her, and she waa
safe!

from the bank and swam atraight
to Tom. Catching the boy'a suit
between his teeth, he started to
