Eyes For The Dark
THE STORY OF A DOG
By Paula Norton
Hiida, Seing-Ey (J09, It letting
htr own ttory. W hv learntd of h,r
lovo for Clare, a young blind girt who
ii htr charge. Life with Clare end her
family wet peaceful until At, e shiftiest
older brother, took Hilda for e welt.
Their Journey ted to a poof hail where
it developed At owed ft gambling debt
Steve end Chertie, who ran the place,
decided Hilda wat a valuable dog end
they chained her in a -dark cellar,
where they intended to teep her until
Al raited the money for hit debt. Al
afraid to face hit family without Hilda,
returned that evening and demanded
the dog. A fight followed and in the
excitement of the moment. Hilda, furi
ous at the treatment both the end At
had received, broke the chein that held
her. She and Al escaped end A! finally
told hit family about the difficulty he
"OS in.
Chapter 12'
I WAS sleepy and tired after my,
experience at the pool hall, and
I would. have liked to curl up on
my pallet by Clare's bed, but I
was also anxious to hear the rest
of the conversation between Al
and his father.
"Well, you know, son, you owe
that money . . . and you'll have to
pay it. A debt is a debt . . ." the
poor man was pitiful to see. His
honest face was anxious and his
forehead was wrinkled with worry.
"I know that, dad, and I will
pay it." It was evident to me that
Al had learned his lesson. Now
that the worst had happened and
it was too late to do anything
about it, he was sorry.
"Where WILL you get the
money, Al?" Clare asked. It was
long past her bed-time, but she,
too, was concerned about this
thine that had upset us all.
"I'll get a job . . . that's what
I'll do," declared Al. He was de
termined, too, and as I look back
on that night it seems he made
this grave decision as though get
ting a job was an original idea all
his own. Al had never worked
since I had lived in his home, so
perhaps it WAS an original idea
for HIM.
"Jobs aren't so easy to get,"
said Clare. "You just can't pick
them out of the air."
"Oh, I know that." He was im
patient. Then suddenly his face lit
up with inspiration. "I've got it
. . . I'll ask Fred Pettit for a job
in his cigar store."
"Who's Fred Pettit?" Clare
asked.
"Oh, he's a fellow I know . . ,
nice old guy. Runs a little cigar
store on Third Street."
I noticed Al's father did not
look particularly enthusiastic. I
saw him glance at Clare, and I
thought I detected anxiety in his
eyes. He said to Al . . . '
"I don't see how Fred can afford
to hire any help. He does well
enough to make that place pay for
his living as it is. He can't get
around very well and he told me
once he worries about getting
back and forth from his room to
the store."
Clare leaned above me. "Why
does he worry about that?" she
asked. "Is he crippled?"
Al looked at his father ... he
seemed hesitant to answer. Then
in a voice low with tenderness he
said, "He's blind, Clare. He was
struck by a hit-run driver a few
months ago, and he has been blind
ever since then."
Clare leaned back en the couch.
"Oh," she said, "poor fellow. How
does he get back and forth to his
store?"
"Well, he just goes out on the
street and people help him across.
He says it scares him. He isn't
used to being blind," Al explained.
Clare leaned down and ran her
hands through my ruff. There was
lllfi
ft "f1
all the affection any dog could
hope for in her voice when she
said, "I'm so lucky to have Hilda
... I'd be afraid, too, if it weren't
for her. You're my eyes, aren't you,
Hilda?" I rubbed my nose against
her hands and right then I decid
ed I'd never be left behind again
when she went to the eye doctor
with her father or anywhere else.
"It seems to me," she went on,
"that what that poor fellow needs
more than someone to help in his
store is a Seeing-Eye dog , , ,
someone to make him feel free in
the darkness."
Al hopped to his feet. It seemed
to be his night for inspirations.
"That's what 11! do. Til ask him
for the job- of taking him to and
from tne store every day. 111 take
him to lunch and then go back an,
watch the store while he's out.
Maybe he'll pay me a little salary
for guiding hfm' so he wont h'
afraid any more.
Clare and her father smiled at
him. I could see they loved this
big boy who had given them so
much worry.
The older nan knocked tfee
ashes from his pipe and stood up.
"Well," he smiled, "that's an idea
anyway, Al. You might try it.M
"Do, At, try tomorrow morning
. . . early, said Clare.
Al smiled at me and said, "I
hope you won't mind, old girl. I'm
going to see if I can be a Seeing
Kye, too" Then he added as if
speaking to himself, "Though I
doubt if I'll be half as good as you
are, Hilda."
I had always liked Al right
from the start, somehow I'd felt
he wasn't such a bad fellow . . .
not realty. I stood up and smiled
back at him. Then I yawned. It
had been a long day, a strange
day for me, to say the least. To
morrow Al was going to try and
land a Seeing-Eye job for himself.
Tomorrow Clare was going to
make another trip to the eye
specialist As I dropped off to
sleep I wondered if that eye
specialist was going to make any
difference in MY life.

it was her birthday. But, she was
wrong because her mother remem
bered and she was planning to
have a surprise supper for Martha.
This little family was traveling
on the Immigrant Trail to the
West They were in a covered
wagon and there were not many
things at hand to use in making a
party. But Martha's mother
thought of this birthday before
they left their home in the East
and she had packed sugar, Hour,
vanilla and all it takes to make a
cake.
About ten minutes before supper-time,
the mother went into the
copered wagon and told Martha to
put on her best dress. Naturally
Martha was surprised but she did
as she was told.
She danced with Joy when she
saw the beautiful cake that seemed
to spring from nowhere on the
Immigrant Trail.
That night when she went to
bed, Martha found five little pack
under her pillow they were
gifts from her father and her
aunts. You see Martha's birthday
was not forgotten, even in ine
wilderness.

: THE RUNAWAY SQUIRREL
By Fred Folger, II Yeert
BROWNIE was his name and he
lived in a great big tree in the
woods. Brownie was forever run
ning away and playing hide-and-
seek all by himself.
One day Brownie got lost and
couldn't find his way home. He
walked and walked and then it got
dark. While He was still loosing
for his own tree, he met two little
brown bears. The bears said,
"Come on home and live with us."
Brownie said, "All right I will."
But the bears ate honey and
Brownie liked nuts far better. He
said, "111 gather some chestnuts
and you see if you don't like
them."
When the bears tasted the chest
nuts, all masted on a fire, they
said they liked them a lot. And
they said, "Now YOU taste the
honey."
Brownie tried the honey and he
said, "Well, it is pretty good. Give
me some more."
The bears and the squirrel grew
to be great friends and the bears
asked Brownie to live with them
always. He did live with them.
But he never could learn to sleep
in a bear's cave. He always slept
in tree right outside.

Wise and thrifty housewives will noi scorn hash. It becomes a delectable dtsh when prepared with
calavo and cold meats.
Hash Becoiries Aristocratic Dish In
Hands Of Experienced Housewife
New Suggestion For Preparing Toothsome Dinner Course
That Graced Tables Of Kings and Queens
By Jennie Reed
THE THRIFTY housewife, who
knows that "to waste not is to
want not," has ever before her the
problem of how to utilize the left
over meats. Leftover beef usually
conjures ap the vision of hash,
and hash is not to be despised.
We are given to thinking of hash
as a plebeian dish of common ori
gin, but quite the reverse is true,
for hash comes from a very old
family. It is an aristocrat, and
graced the tables of kings and
queens in those days when it had
to be eaten with a spoon because
forks were unknown.
However, we do not always
want to make hash of yesterday's
roast so below are given a few
suggestions of other "ways to use
cold meats.

2 cups diced calavo

Tab!a tai
2 ieaspoons Sherry wine
cup finely cut sweet picMei
Cover veal with cold, salted
water, add onion, and cook slowly
until meat is tender. Add carrots
for last 30 tq 46 minutes cooking.
When meat is tender, lift from
liquid. Strain liquid and measure
and, if necessary, boil down to re
quired amount. Dice carrots and
veal shoutd be about 1& cups
veal) and discard onion. To pre
pare calavos, cut into halves, re
move seeds, peel, and dice. Com
bine broth, onion salt, table salt
to taste, and wine, and chill until
broth starts to congeal. Add cal
avo, carrots, and swet pickle, and
blend lightly but thoroughly. Pour
into an oiled moid or pan, and let
stand in cold place overnight. Un
mold and serve as a cold entree,
or mold individually and serve
. with French dressing as a salad.
If a firmer mold is desired, add 1
