BOUNDER the Deer was frightened,
lis waa so frightened he did not
dare to run. Man-smell was In
the air and he had sn a person rid
ing toward his hiding place In the
-woods on Old Sleepy Cat mountain
Dcunder couldn't know thr.t that Pr
pon was Bob, the game warden's boy,
Jwho had followed the deer's trail In
on'Affnrt to nfmni1r'm 11 f. .
t Bob knew that Bounder was - lost.
rHc knew that the Tittle deer's mother,
, IFaona, was several miles further up
the side of the mountain where she
-!and the other deer of the Old Sleepy
0 JCat family were biding from a hunter
' jwho had tried to kill old Mule Ear,
9 tthe king of the herd. So the game
, Iwarden's boy had followed Bounder's
m tracks, to drive him back to the herd,
i ; ?But Bounder thought the smell of
fBob was just like the othr man-smell
' gand that always meant danger.
- .
Bob was watching the deer tracxs
o cloicly that he did not see
Bounder's big brown eyes as they
'peeped out at him from behind the
' trees. And as he came closed end
' closer to Bounder, the little deer could
'stand It no longer. lie just had to
run. He turned in his tracks and
bounded away with all h(s strength.
As he jumped. Bounder made a
great noise on the dead tree Branches
under his feet. Bob looked up just
In time to see a little white tall go
twinkling through the trees down
toward Dry canyon.
r Instantly Bob spurred Spunk, his
pony, and dashed away after Bounder.
Though Spunk was one of the fastest
mountain ponies in that country, he
couldn't keep up with Bounder, but he
could run' longer.
Bounder was so frightened that he
an blindly. He made a mistake that
an older deer never would have made.
"lo ran down the mountain instead of
up. and the first 'thing he knew he
V'M jumping down the gully that led
'to the bank of the canyon.
Bob and Spunk raced after him, and
'right on the edge of the steep bank
'of tho canyon, the bottom of which
waa way down below. Spunk stopped
short. It was a much steeper bank
than Spunk wanted to 'go down. But
Bob leaned far barckward in his sad
'die. He put his ' foot up against
TOpunk's shoulders 'and then he spoke
'to him:
"Slide, Spunk; elide, old boy!" he
commanded.
It was slow work for Spunk, but
'Bounder had hurled himself down
that, steep bank just like he didn't
.tare whether or not he broke bis little
neck.
So Bounder got a big start on Spunk,
But Bob knew something about that
canyort that Bounder did not. He
knew that two miles or more further
down It stopped short. The end of It
was a great high wall of mountain
tock. so steep mat even a aeercouian t
climb It
The bottom of the canyon was level
and clear of trees. Bob settled dfcwn
In his saddle, brushed Spunk's sides
with hla epurs, and the race was on
again. With ears flattened back and
1all flying In the wind. Spunk ran
Fast and faster he ran, as Bob gave
' a little push on the bridle reins.
The race was almost over. In a few
minutes the end of the canyon would
,te reached, and then Bounder would
rbe caught like a rat In a trap.
r But suddenly Bob saw dangerl
Danger for little Bounder.
; Not knowing that wall of rock was
there, the frjghtened deer would
leurely run ' headlong Into It, It Bob
kept cbaslng.Jiim.
And surely that would break Boun
def neck.

The Boastful
and the Brown Marten
By Georgette Faulkner

NCE upon a time there lived In
the city a white rabbit. Now
this white rabbit was very un
happy in the city, for the children
pulled his ears an the dogs chased
him, and so one day he made up his
mind to run away to the woods .and
hide.
"I am so tired of this city life."
he said, "I will go out into the woods
and live, for It is far better to be
among the animals than to stay
with these city people."
Although the white rabbit said this
to himself he would never tell any
one else and so when he went out to
the forest he boastfully told the ani
mals how much nicer It was In the
city than In the country, and he
bragged of all the fine things' he had
left behind him in his old home.
He ran on and on, and by and by
he met 'in the woods a wild rabbit,
the wild rabbit wears a coat of gray
and the white rabbit Jumped near to
him and sniffed up his nose at the
gray rabbit, and he said haughtily:
"No one in town ever wears gray;
It Is not a stylish color; all the best
people in town wear white fur that is
soft and fine, and that Is why my
fur Is so soft and white like the
snow. Our family was the very best
family in town!"
The gray rabbit did not answer the
white rabbit, but he did not like him,
and so he laid his ears far back
on his head and blinked his eyes at
the saucy white rabbit, and then he
went Jumping away through the
bushes.
The white rabbit ran on and on
through the forest and he bragged to
every animal that he saw. "Ours was
the best family In town," he said,
and the animals were so disgusted
t with him that they would not stop
? 10 usien to mm.
! One day the white .rabbit met a
marten. The marten is small and
.brown and his fur is worn by the
; best people and he knows that they
think, very much about him. He
i could not understand why a white
j rabbit should think himself any bet-
ter than a marten.
"Well, come and take dinner with
me tomorrow!" . said the white rab-
bit.
i cannot stop and talk with
you Just now, for I am very busy,
but if you will come to my hbme
unvus inese ousnes I will gladly
) answer all of your questions." And
men tne rabbit added in a very pat
ronising tone: "I can understand how
you would like to hear me tell you
about things in the city, for you poor
Kiwa animais or tne Dackwoods know
so little and people who come from
the city always know a great deal
and they like, to tell all that they
"Thank you verv mush, t .hoii
pleased to come and I am sure that
I shall learn a great deal from you."
said the brown marten, meekly.
The next day the brown m.w..

Fun to Do EverytHiiig' Well
CARL stood watching some children
in a garden blowing soap bubbles,
and he had never seen such big
ones before. They were as large and
round; as a balloon.
Carl was the kind of lui that
thought he cou1jl do anything as well
as anybody else, Twithout asking the
way to do It; so, not wishing those
children to get the better of him, he
sn rugged his shoulders, said "Huh!"
expressively, and ran home, stopping
on tftre way to buy a penny blowpipe
at the little shop around the corner.
Then he put a piece of toilet soap in
a basin of water and began to blow.
Alas! the results were ordinary little
bubbles! '
It. was an effort to do it, but as
there was really nothing else to do,
Carl ran back to the garden and called

he brushed down his coat until
it
was very sleek and smooth.
The marten and the white rabbit
had a fine dinner. The marten
thought that they ate too fast, but it,
was not polite to say so. He tried
to eat like the rabbit, and he puck
ered up his lips and tried to draw
them in, as the rabbit did, and he
watched the rabbit very closely.
After a while the marten began to
ask questions. "What makes that
ugly slit in your lip?" asked the
marten.
''My family in town all jite with
their knives and forks," answered the
raDoit, -ana qne time when I was
eating with my knife the knife slipped
and cut my lip."
"What makes you keep moving
your mouth -about, puckering up your
lips and wriggling your whiskers 7"
asked the marten.
"Becaus I am always planning and
worrying," answered the white rab
bit. "My family are always planning
and worrying. Every one in the city
Is always, worried. Now out here
in the country you do not worry
enough.
The marten did not agree with this
at all. He thought every one ln the
world should be happy and that they
should not be filled with fear, and
he shook his head at the white rabbit,
but when he saw the rabbit ooen his
eyes wide in astonishment at him for
daring to shake his head. 'No" he
said aioud: "Oh, dear, some grass
tickled me on the nose." and he ore-
tended that that was why Ke had
shaken his head. He was afraid that
tne raDblt would think that he was
different" from the people in town, and
he wanted to be like other people.
After dinner they went out tq walk
together through the forest.
"What makes you hop?" questioned
the marten.
"My people always hop," answered
the rabbit scornfully. "People in town
never step along slowly like the coun
try people. Just see how gracefully
I can hop along and look how clumsy
that moose cow is over there."
The marten ran along beside the
rabbit, watching the rabbit as he
insKea aiong among the tall grasses.
The marten was not sure that he
enjoyed being told how slow thv
were In the country, he was getting
very tired of the boastful manner of
the rabbit.
"Why is your tail so short, and
why are your ears so long?" as Wed.
the marten.
"Every one in town wears some
thing on his head," said the white
rabbit. "I wanted to be like the
rest, x and now I have long ears stick
ing up on my head, but I have only
a little ball of fur for a tail. It is
all that was left when my ears were
done." "
The marten ran to the tallest pine
tree He climbed up high where he
could look down on the white rabbit.
"I do not believe one word! 1 DO NOT
BELIEVE ONE WORD!" he screamed,
and the little gray rabbits heard him
and laughed with the squirrels.

Practical sense In canning, preserv

individual in the home kitchen. Thl

devil-may-care twin brother and - the
leader of the "Lihtfoot Rustlers" of
Montana are one and the same. The
cattle thieves are run to earth througn
information obtained from a woman
by the offer of a S10.000 reward, and
Ronny Masters, the brother, is hanged.
How fate some years later throws
this womart ln Jeffs path, his mar

was responsible for his brother's
death and the complications that en
sue therefrom provide the material for
a story that compels the attention of
the reader.

Boys, Girls,
Have New
Book Ideas
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Oct, 20. "There is nothing to
them." is the opinion of S86 Ore
gen boys and girls In regard to the"
Henty and Alger books, that held the
youth of an earlier generation in bug
eyed perusal. In the September num
ber of the University of Oregon -fcx-j
tension Monitor. John C. Alraack, su-p-rintendent
of the Coquille school s
gives the verdict of 218 girls and 18i
boys In the Junior high schools of
Ashland, McMinnvllle, Springfield and
Eugene, who speak in no uncertain
terms of the. books for which they have
no use.
The reasons were practically the op
posite of those given for liking books:
too dry, no action, too much descrip
tion, too deep," too tame, no life to it.
"I do not like the books that give de
scriptions and dates, or sissy books
about real good children." said one boy.
" "Five Little Peppers' Is too sissyfied."
"Don Quixote' is too idiotic." and
" 'Alice in Wonderland was too much
of a fairy tale." Five girls agreed
that "Elsie Dinsmore" cried too much
and was always so good that they did
not like her..
Additional books condemned as "lit
erary prunes," are as follows: The Cu
riosity Shop, Brave and Bold. Pilgrim's
Progress, Elizabeth's German Garden,
The Virginian, the Gold Bug. Rifle
Rangers, Tom Brown's School Days,
Scottish Chiefs, Robinson Crusoe,
Twice Told Tales, When Knighthood
Was In Flower, Two-Years Before the
Mast, A Christmas Carold, The Great
Stone Face, The Last of the Mohicans,
Lorna Doone, David Copperfleld, Ivan
hoe, Boy Scout Automoblllsts, Arabian
Knights.
Indications throughout were that the
tastes of the girls are more warlike,
patriotic, bloodthirsty and savage than
those of the adolescent male of the
same age.
The boys alone expressed preference
for "Bob, Son of Battle," "The -Rover
Boys," and "Tom Sawyer," while the
girls supported without masculine ap
proval, "Pollyanna." and "The Harves
ter," because "it showed what a model
man should be like."
Warfare Does Not
Always Tear Down
"There is consolation for the moth
ers of the Sammies who are going, or
preparing to go, to fight in the
trenches in France in Donald Hankey's
"A Student in Arms" (Dutton). The
author, who was at the front nearly
two years and wrote many of the ar
ticles contained in the book while ac
tually in the trenches with shells
bursting overhead, shows that war
fare, the conditions of the front, and
of service in the trenches do not nec
essarily result in moral injury.
On the contrary, his observations
proved to him and he convinces the
reader that the soldier at the English
and French front more often than oth
erwise developes the fundamental vir
tues of humanity and becomes a bet
ter man than he was before.
In his introduction to the book- J.
St. Loe Strachey says that "One rises
from the book with a sense that man
is. alter an, a nouie animal ana uiai,
though war may blight and burn, it
reveals the best side of human nature
and sanctifies as well as destroys."
Russian Taught at
Lincoln Night School
Marked Interest ln foreign lan
guages is shown among the students
in Portland night schools this year.
An interesting innovation is a class
in Russian which meets at Lincoln
high school Monday, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings at 7:15 o'clock.
The class is conducted by L. P. Fink,
J native Russian, and Is attended by
tudents desiroiis of familiarizing
themselves with the Russian language
for business reasons.
The same interest ln Spanish that
existed last year is shown ln this
year's Spanish classes. The obvious
effect of the war Is shown In the en
rollment in the French and German
classes. Where last year there were
163 students enrolled In French
classes and 111 ln German at the
Lincoln night school, thts year the
French students exceed 300. while the
number studying German has dropped
to seven.
President's Foreign
Policy Is Subject
"The Foreign Policy of Woodrow
Wilson, 1913-1917" Is the title of a
forthcoming book by Edgar E. Robin
son and Victor J. West of the depart
ment of history of Leland Stanford
Junior university. The volume is an
nounced for publication the latter
part of October. It Is described as a
narrative and explanation of the pol
icy followed by President Wilson ln
dealinpr with the problems that have
come to him.
The authors recognize that there
has been a great deal of criticism of
that policy. It Is their belief that
much of that criticism is unmerited
and that it would almost entirely
disappear if the policy were wholly
understood. To promote such an un
derstanding has been their purpose.
Rather Convincing Argument
Eric Fisher Wood tells in his new
book, "The Note Book of An. Intelli
gence Oficer," an amusing report
which rame recentTy into the hands
of the British intelligence department
which stated that, "The Americans
are difficult people to argue with.
For instance, if you call one of them
a' liar. . he knocks you down with his
clenched fist. Instead of discussing
the matter calmly, as any other clvl
lized - person -would.'-
When Betty Bathes
When Betty bathes the people stand
And gase in groups upon the sand;
The children stop their careless play
To watch her sportinf? in the spray;
The lovers on tlus rocks above
In staring dawn forget their love.
And on the hotel portico
A' doz"n glasses point below,
WTicn Betty bathes.
A mermaid minus glass and comb.
She frolics in' the creamy foam;
And swims, and splashes, dives and
' dips. J
While rolkjijiook on with parted lips.
A higher tide than e'er before
Is seen to inundate the shore
For Betty weighs three hundred
" pounds
The ocean rises all around.

The November American

article on a wonderful doctor of
books. The author of it says:
"During her years of study
of the life of books Uoctor
Lewis has discovered that, like
human beings, they must have
air, life and heat to remain
healthy; she found that not all
lights are suitable for books;
for instance, gas, electricity,
and direct sunlight are die
Integrating forces, as well as
that most subtle dlslntegrant
of leather, the acid tanning
process,
"She learned that when books
are confined in cases behind
glass doors which shut out the
air they become diseased. She
learned, also, that packing them
i
into boxes without regard for
the proper spacing and need of if,
air was equivalent to stilling
them. -' ;
"As every .connoisseur knows,
any damage to a rare book does
as much to reduce its. value as
a flaw In a diamond. One would
