MR. AND MRS. WOLF
"I have looked for s t; time for a
nice place, and I think I have found
it now," said .Mrs. Wolf.
"I looked at a good many. In fact,
I almost sot up liuuckiiiiii in sev

didn't like tliem finally. 1 tliouuut 1

"Ah, Mrs. Wolf," said y.i: V.Vlf,
"this is hoatitiful. This is a perfect
home. And how lovely this weather
is."
''Dear Mr. Wolf, would any one im
ai'lne that the wild and dangerous and
blood-thirsty wolf would talk about the
weather," Mrs. Wolf chuckled.
"Ah, they don't know," said Mr.
Wolf. "They do not know how we are
when we are at home. We hive each
other so.
"We whisper nil sorts of little noth
ings to each other, thninrli to us they
are not 'nothings.' They're 'some
things' of great importance.
"les, this home is perfect. Well,
Mrs. Wolf, I had a dangerous time not
long ago. I thought I was caught."
"Ah, don't tell me that," said Mrs.
Wolf.
"Hut you need not worry now," said
Mr. Wolf, "for you see that I am here,
all safe and sound."
"Yes, yes," said Mrs. Wolf, "but I
cannot bear to think that you have
been exposed to (lunger.
"Hut you have escaped! Yes, you
have escaped, and you will be more
careful in the future?"
"I am careful," said Mr. Wolf, "but
I will be even more careful. I had

been hunting and having a little meal
and was taking a nap away from the
hunting ground but not far enough
away.
"For an old hunter, came after me
and almost would have had me.
"But the wind was in the right di
rection so I could get a whiff of the
human being coming toward me.
"If it bad not been for that wind I
would not have been here now."
"Ob, Mr. Wolf, what a narrow es
cape. And bow thankful I uiu it
was an escape !
"I wish I could give the wind a pres
ent to show my gratitude, but the wind
isn't the kind of a creature or a thing
to whom one can give a present.
"But I am grateful, oh, so grateful,"
Mrs. Wolf said.
"Yes," Mr. Wolf continued, "we
want to be safe, for we only have each
other."
At that, tears came in Mrs. Wolf's
eyes.
"There, there," he said, "there will
be other little wolves, and I am happy,
for we have each other. That means
everything, Mrs. Wolf."
"Oil yes, Mr. Wolf, "that means ev
erything, and, dear mate, you are so
good to me.
"How well I remember, too, when
there were the dear little wolf babies
three darling imSies there were last
spring. And after they were born and
I was so afraid that something would
happen to them, you kept us supplied
with food so that I did not have to
leave them.
"But oh, Mr. Wolf, for the longest
time I thought every time I came back
to the den that somehow or other I
would find my babies. Again and
again I looked for them after they
bad been killed and taken away.
"Oh dear, how gad it was. They
were never there. And then we stood
it for as long as we could, and now
we hare another den.
"Yes, and we have a fine hill from
which we can see what is going on.
"And we will be happy, and there
will be other little wolves," Mrs. Wolf
Baid.
"But best of all, Mr. Wolf, there Is
my dear mate."
And then she laughed.
"How strangely our talk would
sound to people. They do not know
that wolves are different at home from
when they see them.
"And after all I think it is better to
be I, ice in the hoiue than outside it.

I'lOXKliU HISTOHY
"11 " HEN Herbert Quick writes a story it ii the time for every
y one to sit up and take notice; for he is one of the most ver
satile and entertaining geniuses in this country. Farmer, school
master lawyer, editor, public servant, social worker and novelist, he
has had a great round of experiences and has worked many of them
into his stories. Born in Grundy county, Iowa, he has been mayor of
Sioux City, nominee for supreme judge, editor of Farm and Fireside,
member of the Federal Farm Loan bureau and several other national
commissions, and during the war, had the rank of colonel conferred
upon him by the Red Cross.
In "The Brown Mouse," Mr. Quick has taken his inspiration from
the Scotch scientist who crossed Japanese waltzing mice with the
common wWte breed and among other hybrids got a brown individual
that was different from anything else in the world. Unlike its domes
ticated parents, it was wild; it ran away, bit, gnawed, scratched and
raised hob generally.
Jim Irwin, the hero cf the tale, is a brown mouse. His peddling
father was a waltzing mouse, no good except to jump from one spot
to another fcr no vaitd reason. His mother was a white mouse, hav
ing had all her cc!cr washed out in one way or another. Like the
1 knjmj"'C VV"''ch ref'Jses 10 act acrdir,g to the rules cf heredity
J.rr, had ideas c,c h:s own and did many surprising things. He com
pete. woke up a sleepy farming community and showed it what a
touch cr genius can do. .

University of Oregon, Eugene,
Nov. 17. Children of Douglas coun
ty have undertaken to obtain from
the pioneers of the section the facts
of local .history that are not yet re
duced to writing. The movement to
assemble in permanent form valuable
unwritten history and legend of the
one-time frontier is sponsored by tlio
extension division of the University
of Oregon. Following Douglas coun
ty's lead, other communities are ex
pected later to get the facts in their
respective sections.
According to the plan outlined by
the. extension division, grade school
students will obtain the material alt
er consultation with their Instruc
tors. Articles on the first school, I
first churches, Indian legends, early
slores, early roads, interesting and
picturesque characters of tile early
communities, and similar material
will he sought :ilter by the youthful
historians.
Articles having the most mwit will
be published in a special number of
the Extension Monitor, the journal
of the extension division.
