tells about her puppy days. She

Chapter 2
SINCE I was lucky enough to
be chosen for a Seeing -Eye
dog, my education started when I
was about 15 months old. I tried
my best to make the right im
pression on my trainer. You see,
there were traditions in our fam
ily that I wanted to live up to.
Mother told me we had an uncle
who made a great name for him
self as a state police patrol dog
on the Swiss national border. He
was in the service of the Customs.
THERE was an uncle to be proud
of!
The young man who was my
trainer had studied long and hard
to be able to undertake this work,
so I wanted to work hard, too.
I went to "school" every day
and though my teacher was not
My teacher covered his eyes and I led him about. At first I made
many mistakes, like walking under a low porch. We studied all day.

things I would need most to know
about taking care of a person
who was really blind.
My teacher Frank was his

rock stairways lead to the bare
cap of Walpi, where stands the
ancient Hopi village apart from
our world of noise and strife,
within a world of silence and age
and peace, a place where miles
are meaningless and time un

becomes embraced in one change

present and ages yet to come . . .
and all this within a few hours

trans-continental planes.
I, TOO, HEAR
the hum of wheels . . . and then
silence . . . and vastness . . . and
timelcssness. I hear the soft tread
of moccasined feet along timeless
trails into a timeless life . . . and
I wonder about the meaning of
our cluttered life!"

haired gentleman with 30 -odd
years of experience in the pulpit
behind him. I like to tell him he's
"reformed," for now he's in the
lumber business. He's rambled to
most places that are worth the
rambling in this world of ours;
he's done more things than most
of us have done. He knew well

the last queen of Hawaii before
those isles became part of Amer
ica; he has letters from notables
from the far ends of the earth.
He's really a very swell guy
despite the fact I happen to be
his son which is one of the
reasons I transcribe his letter.
Another is it was worth tran
scribing. He pictures one of those
spots of the West that lure the
Rolling Wheels.
MANY YEARS BACK
it was he who took me into
Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains, and
along the calm waters of the
Puget Sound. We've wandered
through the pines of Oregon,
where stillness reigns, and watched
the sunrises over the Sierras and
Colorado's Rockies sometimes
felt the friendly winter warmth
of Western deserts on winter
days. It was from him I caught
the wanderlust, and from his wife
my mother that I learned how
to look for the beauty in nature.
IT'S WORTH LOOKING
for. incidentally. In this age of
business we scurry along without
even seeing the sunsets and sun
rises. That mildly insane man
who stops to take a picture draws
curious glances. And an artist
. . .! Did you ever see the sur
prised crowd that looks over his
or her shoulder and wonders
"how one gets that way?"
THERE'S ONE WAY
to be certain of catching this
brand of insanity. It's to forget
business for a time, put the hum
ming wheels beneath one, and hie
off to the far places where tele
phones and alarm clocks are
unfamiliar.
I envy Claudia Cranston, wan
dering authoress. She dropped in
the other day to get some tips
on tropical photography.
"I'm going," she said, "to the
Orient, and maybe Sumatra, Ball,
Java and wherever else the mood
strikes me. I'll ... he seeing
you!" No phones will bother her
for awhile, not while the wheels
turn on.

PANAMA TARPON
ONE of the finest fishing
spots in the world is at the
Galun spillway upon the Chagres
River in Panama. A club-house is
provided for anglers, with mod
ern accommodations. The tarpon
are drawn to the place by the
fish food which comes because of
the damming of the river and the
creation of the great freshwater
lake.
Fishermen find live bait the
best, and occasionally use a dark-
colored fly with good results. An
angler's rod should be of steel, '
for the task is not to hook one
of the great Silver King tarpons,
but to land them. Thoy leap
about In abundance, and bite
readily many of them weighing
up to 100 pounds.
ALASKA'S SITKA
SITKA la one of the cities of
the far northland attracting
visitors this season. Located on an
island, surrounded by myriads of
other islands, this old city goes
back to the rule of Russia In
Alaska before the United States
bought the vast territory for 17,
000.000. Old Russian block houses

which was built In 1817.
name covered his eyes, and I
led him about. At first, I made
all kinds of mistakes, like walk
ing under a low porch that was
plenty high enough for me, but
not for Frank, who, poor fellow,
bumped his head a good wallop.
He didn't punish me, of course, so
I wasn't afraid of him. I under
stood about the differences in our
heights pretty soon, and we didn't
get Frank bruised very often af
ter that.
Next I learned the words "For
ward," "Right," "Left," and what
they meant. These commands
came in very handy when we
were out on the street, and Frank
wanted to go to some certain part
of the city. I'd lead him to the
edge of the curb and then wait.
Frank would feel for the step
down, and then he'd say "For
ward," and away we would go.
We studied hard all day, and
then, when "school" was out, I'd
join the other dogs In the big
yard and we'd have a romp. If I'd
done pretty well, I always got
some special little treat ror a re
ward. Naturally, I worked for
that, too.
But most of all, as the other
kids in my class used to say, it
was interesting and not exactly
work after all. We wanted a mas
ter or a mistress who would re
ward us for our care of them
with the greatest reward any dog
can have . . . affection and trust.
Sometimes Frank would give
me very hard problems to solve.
I'd be leading him along the
walk, and we'd come to a drive
way where a car was left across
the sidewalk. When we got to the
car, I'd atop, naturally, and wait
for orders. Frank would say "For
ward." Well, I knew well enough
I couldn't hop over the car and
take Frank with me. At first, I
didn't know what to do. Then I
thought of the sensible thing to
do (all we Shepherds try to be
sensible). I'd go right, then left,
then left, THEN forward. Thus I
learned another lesson . . . how to
use my natural "dog sense."
After three months of school, I
passed the final test and was
ready to meet my new charge.
Was I excited? It's a pretty Im
portant thing in a dog's life when
he is given over to the person
with whom he is to spend the rest
of his life. I thought about that a
good deal.
What kind of a master would
he be 7 Or would it be a woman 7
Would we travel on the train , . .
or possibly a ship like the one
that brought my mother to Amer
ica? Thin, finally, the big day came!

Dwarf Carpeting Plants Aid
Decorative Effect of Paths
By Cecil Solly
PAVED paths have a charm of
their own, but the decorative
efject is considerably improved If
plants are grown In the crevices.
The stone should be embedded In a
three-quarter-inch layer of sandy
loam, In order that the roots have
a good medium in which to spread.
The stock may be raised from
seed or a supply of plants ob
tained from a nurseryman.. When
planting is done, do not disturb
the fine roots unduly; they should
be pressed firmly into position
nnd given a good watering.
For small stretches of pa ng
the dwarf carpeting plants are
most suitable, and of these Are
narla Balaorica is one of the best.
It grows well in the shade,
spreads rapidly in a suitable
situation, and bears tiny white,
star-like flowers freely from
April until June.
Acaena Buchanan! is a vigor
ous plant, producing a carpet of
pretty fern-like foliage. The
creeping Thymes are beautiful.
Thymus Lanuginosus, -with lta
gray foliage, and Thymus Cocci
neus, with crimson flowers, art
two of the best. The tiny Mentha
Requlenl should be lnoluded on
account of Its fragrant foliage
and delicate blue flowers. Cala
mintha Alpina Is useful for the
profusion of violet flowers It pro
duces in late summer.
