"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 ie, and Clare's mother
sent thewsmall 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 sfrrtply 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 I was
still 'as good as new. Soon she
stopped her anxious questioning.
Her father walked over to the
sideboard and lit his pipe. 1 lay
down at Clare's feet ... one paw
across her instep. It was gooil to
be safe again. Clare's little broth
er was sent oil to bed. Her moth
er sat folding and unfolding a
napkin. The room was very still.
"Alright!" Al burst out. "I'll
tell you the truth."
"Good boy, Al," I thought. "I
knew you had it in you. Out with
itQ. . You're growing up."
O "I took Hilda for a walk. I went
with her to a pool hnll where I've
been before. When I got there I
met some . . . friends of mine." He
stopped. 4
"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 kept
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 ... I ... 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 are you going to pay it,
son?" It was the mother speaking
now . . . low and patiently.
"I don't know, Ma. I don't know."

THE CIRCUS

JIMMIE AND JANIE were at
the circus! Their Uncle Bob
had taken them and they were
having a wonderful time. They
had already had peanuts and pop
corn and pink lemonade, and now,
at the risk of terrible tummy
aches, they wr?re having hot dogs.
They were In the tent where the
animals were kept, and the saw
dust was dusty and there were
people ALL over the place, but
they thought It was grand.
Uncle Bob showed them the
monkeys. How the little funny
faced things chattered and
shrieked, and how the children
giggled at them!
Then Jimmie saw some more in
another cage, and catching Janie's
hand started off. They went 10
fast they got separated from
Uncle Bob, and when they looked
around he was gone.
My goodness, what an awful
feeling! Here they were In thli big
tent filled with people, not one of
which they knew. Janie started to
cry.
"Aw, stop it," said Jimmie, try
ing to be brave. He was pretty
well frightened himself, though.

lOBBETT AND DOBBETT were
two little elves, and they lived
in the deep, deep woods In a little
brown hut.
One day Bobbett said to Dob
bett, "I think I'll go for a walk."
And Dobbett answered, "All
right. And I'll stag al home and
fix our supper."
Dobbett began to gather tilings
for supper. He gathered some nice
white mushrooms and took those
into the hut. Then he discovered
they were out of milk, so he went
out and got a big pitcher full from
I'ne milk-weed.
Then he took some'of his ground
acorn flour 'and started to mix
some biscuits. He mixed the flour
with milk-weed milk and butter
from the butter-cups. When they
were all mixed, he put them in his
oven to bake.
When Bobbett came home, what
do you suppose he had? A whole
lot of lovely berries!
So for dessert that night they
hsd strawberries with milk-weed
cream, and they ate and ate until
they couldn't manage another bite.
LIBERTY!
T WAS not long after the sur
render of Cornwallis that a
peace treaty was signed between
England and America. John Ad
ams was made minister to the
court of St. James. There he rep
resented the United States.
Now America was truly free.
Let us see what she did with this
new freedom.
There were plenty of reasons
why she wanted freedom, and
most of them were because of the
things she did not want to do. She
did not want the King to tell her
what to do. She did not want to
pay British taxes. She did not
want British-cnpointcd Bishops in
America. She did not want Par
liament to tax tea anil several
other articles. There wore 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 thinirs
that must bo done was considered.
All the many departments of gov
ernment that had been handled by
Great Britnin must now be under
taken by the new government of
tho United States, nnd since there
had not been any government one
must be formed.
Then the question ntose, What
sort of government shall it be?
Suggestions came from every
state and citucn. The frontier pco.
pie wanted-one form of govern
ment, the const pcoplo another.
Another difficulty arose. Tho for-

SUSAN put her doll in her bug
gy and started out. She was
going into the woods for n picnic,
all by herself. Of course he had
Elmira, the doll, with her, and she
was just as good ns another per
son. Susan had two jelly sand
wiches that she had gotten from
the kitchen and these were to be
her lunch.
She walked a long time along
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. She played under the
trees with Elmira for a long time.
Then she thought she had better
start home.
Susan started back. She walked
and walked, but she didn't seem
to be getting anywhere. It started
to get dark and she was very
frightened. Finally the awful truth
caina to her. She was lost!
It was getting very dark and
she got more and more scared.
Just when she was ready to sit
down and cry, she heard someone
calling, "Susan, Susan."
It waa her father! With a glad
cry she ran towards him. Luckily
he had found her, and she was

A HOMING pigeon rode into

on a fishing boat, the Kan Pedro.
Its captain, Jonquil! Pedro, stated
that the bird came on board while
tho crew was fishing off Ccdros
Island, about forty miles south of
San Diego. It stuyed on deck for
the entire voyage and refused to
leave until the boat came along

Only then did It take flight.
The bird was of a bluish color

It Iruly looked lis if this United

United States. A strong central
government was what was needed.
Hamilton, who had been Washing

of the state's representatives met
in Philadelphia to thresh this
thing out.
The war was long over, and at
this time the United States had
been without any central govern
ment for nearly twelve years. So
... at this famous Philadelphia
Convention the great issue was up
for settlement. Fortunately while
the future of our country wns
argued back and forth, two great
men with level heads were pres

George Washington. The really
important outcome of this con
vention was the birth of the Con

The constitution is indeed a
document of interest ... a docu

government, met in New York. In

BRAVE PALI
By Jack Martin, Age 13
Reno, Nevada
BILL AND TOM were swimming
in the lake. It was a hot day,
just right for a swim. Their dug.
Pal, was with them, too. He was a
big dog, part Collie and part sev
eral other things. In other words,
he was just plain dog. Their fam
ily often made fun of Pal, telling
the boys they should get a good
dog.
They had great fun, swimming
and diving offc a rock. Neither
could swim very well, but they
had a good time Just the same.
Suddenly Tom let out a yell.
"Help, help, Bill. I've got cramps
and it's deep here."
Bill tried to awim to help Tom,
but he had a hard enough time
keeping himself going.
All at once the boys heard a
sharp bark. It was Pal. He jumped
from the bank and swam straight
to Tom. Catching the boy'B suit
between his teeth, he started to
tow him to shore, while Bill fol.
lowed. Finally they reached the
sandy beach. Tom sank down and
put his arm around Pal.
"Gee, BUI," he'said. "Pat saved
my life. I guess the folks will
never kid me about him again,
huh?"
The froirs. which are of f'.ie
French red-legged variety, live in
the Montgomery fishpond, and
Sunny Boy often playa with them,
patting their sides with hla pawa
to see them swell up. However, a
real friendship between these
oddly assorted animals was shown
when a neighbor'! cat tried to at
tack the frogs one evening. Sunny
Boy enme to the rescue nnd at
the risk of a little lost fur, com
pletely routed the marauder.
