8 THE ' OREGON SUNDAY . JOURNAL. PORTLAND,;' SUNDAY 1 MORNING. OCTOBER ! 17, 1820. ' , ' " ' V . t FOR BOYS AND GIRLS BY ftVTK FLOMLT THOMMO Mr. Fuz Bunny's Adventure 'One opon time, Mr. Fus Bunny. Who tu charminc , gentleman , rabbit with a pink noesand ft large family disappear. Just entirely and complete ly disappeared,' mind you. Mr. Fus Bunny and the eleven little Fus Bunnie . hunted him all day, and at nightfall re turned home with streaming- eyes and heavy hearts. And that evening all the rabbit men of Hoppity Village searched with lanterns through the woods, but nary a footprint or hair of Mr. Fus The Mayor of Hoppity did his best to comfort the bereaved family and bought eleven bags of candy before the little rabbits would dry their tears. Then promising to return In the morning, he took his leave. But the morning brought no news of the missing' Fus Bunny, nor the next day, nor the next; and Mrs. Fus Bunny began to make herself a black dress and tied up her ears in a long velU and already the neighbors were referring to her as the poor widow creature. And whatever do you 'spose had hap pened to the long-eared 'gentleman? Just this ! And it all came of digging: Every afternoon Mr. Fus Bunny used to take a backet and go Into the woods to dig roots for his numerous family. His bas ket was almost fall when he was at tracted by a large white feathery root sticking out of a hole he-had Just made. Belling the root, he pulled and pulled and PULLED, and Just as he had given up hope of ever loosening It, the root came out with a Jerk. Mr. Pus Bunny fell over backward,' a body as big as himself on top of him, Great ears and whiskers! In his paws he had the stiff, white beard of an old gnome a simply furious old gnome. Before Mr. Fus Bunny could apologise the gnome seised him around the waist, tapped three times -on the earth and they both plunged through. Down, down fell Mr. Fus Bunny down to the under ground kingdom of the white-bearded gnomes. Refusing to listen to a word of explanation, the gnome dragged him along by the ear to the throne of the king. "What excuse have you 7" growled his majesty, after the gnome had indig nantly told his story. . "Twelve children, your highness'" mumbled Mr. Fus Bunny, whose wits had almost deserted him. "That's no excuse for drag-gins; a royal gnome around by the beard !" thun dered the king. "Take him to the mines, where he may dig- to some purpose!" So the poor crentleman rabbit, was dragged to the gold mines. A little light was fastened to his forehead and a golden chain to his hind leg. Then they gave him a shovel and bade him get to work. When he stopped to rest they pulled his ears, -and never, oh, never, was a rabbit In a more distressing posi tion. All night he worked, and in the morning fell down In an exhausted sleep. No one disturbed him, for the gnomes themselves sleep in the daytime, but as soon as night came he was roused, given a scanty breakfast of dried grass and set to work again. "Alas!" sighed Mr. Fus Bunny. "To think that a free forest rabbit should be come a miserable slave !" When the guards were not looking be tried to break the chain that . fastened him to a rock, but it was too strong and he could do nothing with It. and the more he pleaded with the gnomes the more they 111 treated him. The second night, how ever, a messenger mole passed the part of the mine where Mr. Fus Bunny was working,' and the rabbit gentleman, with tears in his eyes, begged him to carry a message to his family In Hoppity Vil lage. The mole, himself a family man, was Indignant at the enslavery of Mr. Fus Bunny, and while the guards' backs were turned they managed to have -a few words together. The mole clipped a few hairs from the rabbit'a head to prove to his children that he still lived, and then took his departure. He was as good as his word,, and the whole of Hoppity Vil lage was thrown into confusion when It was learned that Mr. Fuz Bunny was still alive, though Imprisoned deep under the earth. '- The mayor, a very progress ive and able rabbit,, called a meeting of all the wood folks and, thumping their paws indignantly on his table, they swore to rescue the worthy rabbit whatsoever the .consequences. Following the mole's directions, they located the exact spot over which the gnomes' mine lay and the exact spot where the rabbit was working. Then they fell to digging, and such was their seal that in a day they had made a bole half way to the.' gnome kingdom. - Rab bits. ' hedgehogs, moles, squirrels all helped, for the freedom of the woods was threatened. The next day found them on the very surface of the mine roof. and all the rope in the villages for miles about was needed to make the ladders to let them down. About 6 o'clock on the fourth morning Mr. Fus Bunny heard a faint tapping. 'The gnomes were already growing sleepy, so he cautiously signaled back. At o'clock a great place of rock hit him on the head and. looking up, he saw the honest face of the mayor peer ing at him through a hole in the root. The guards were fast asleep. It was a matter of only a minute for the mayor to chop off the golden chain and pull Mr. Fus Bunny upward. How they scampered up that ladder, and how many paws were ready to pull them over the edge of the great bole! Then straight way they began throwing the earth and stones back and never resting the whole day, they had completely filled it up by evening, nd the gnomes do not know to this day how their prisoner escaped. Mr. Fus Bunny had fortunately filled all his pockets with Jewels and gold, and to such an amaaing amount did they add up that he became the wealthiest citixen of the woods. And aa he was as generous as he was rich, Hoppity Vil lage grew Into a very prosperous city, and all of bis 11 children married Into the nobility. Schwan Piano Co.

The more that Is ladled out, the more remains. And this is the story the Indians tell of its coming : Many, many years ago a tribe of bad Indians came to live in the beautiful islands, and the good Indians, who lived there already, watched them anxiously for fear they would offend the good spirits of the woods, hills and waters. and bring evil upon them all. And surely enough, they did. For one luck less day, to celebrate a great victory, the bad Indiana killed, with their arrows, hundreds ' of little humming birds and decked themselves out in their bright reauiers. Now, the lovely little humming birds were sacred to the good Indians and to the Great Spirit of the Wood. So angry was he at their slaughter that he caused that part of the. island, inhabited by the bad Indians, to boll like the inside of a volcano, and the Indians and all their animals and villages were destroyed. When the good Indians came to see what had happened they saw a , great black' lake of pitch, and U Jiis day It stands as a warning to aL who would harm the humming birds. That is the story the Indians tell, but none of us is quite sure how the great lake came to be there. It Is very useful to man in building roads and houaes. The pitch or asphalt is dug out and shipped to all parts of the world, and although millions of tons have been removed, the lake seems to stay the same and fill up again. Which makes me think that bad Indians make very good pitch. DolPs Column DOLL GRIPS Old leather pocketbooks make very satisfactory valises for dolls. The handles may be shortened. I mean a bag and not the flat pocketbooks. A little brush and comb, wash cloth and towel should be kept in the bag in case Miss Dolly is in vited away over the weekend. DOLL PLUMS Grapes do make such lovely doll plums and look so inviting in the small china fruit dlshea. Cantaloupes are Dolly wa termelons. INTERIOR DECORATION FOR THE DOLL HOUSE How delightful it Is to freshen up the doll houses in the fall. To put up crisp little white curtains and make the cre tonne hangings and bedcovers for the upstairs rooms. . We will be glad to aiswer any ques tions about color schemes for the vari ous doll apartments, and if any of our readers have any new Ideas on the in terior decoration of doll houses we shall be so pleased to hear from them. CHAINS FOR YOUNG LADT DOLLS Beaded chains are going to be very popular this winter. And narrow black ribbons with a heavy button on the end are extremely good style for shirtwaists. ANIMAL NEWS The new toy donkey is too large for the stable and when he goes in the roof has to, come off. It's a very good thing the weather is so settled up in the nursery. The performing elephant came all un strung and Jack fixed him up-with rub ber bands. It wasn't very successful and he looks aa if he needed a strong tonic He can't even stand alone. Think I'll have to send him to see Doctor Dolly. The vacuum cleaner chewed all the grass off the lawn in front of the doll house.

I'm sure if he had known what bad little animals they would grow to be he never would have given them a ticket at all. Indeed, the rata are the greatest crim inals In the animal, world; and the ene mies of man and beast alike. They steal, destroy property and tarry disease, and are the greatest bandits and robbers In existence.

Why, not -long ago' they captured a whole city. Imagine! Thousands and thousands of them moved into the little town of Palta, Pern, and what do you think happened?
