Belgian Children Cared for by the Jenkintown
Branch of Aid During Winter and Spring"
, bj. Months Nancy Tells of Hidden Deeds
rS jult wonderful how each branch
of the Bed Cross la working bo well,
a though many of us laugh at some of
the things our friends nto learning, wo nil
Jppreclato greatly tho spirit back of tho
work
And somo things which havo been done
ire bo splendid It makes ono proud of
ene's countrymen and women. Only re
cently I heard that tho Jenkintown
Branch of tho Emergency Aid had under
taken last winter to clotho and keep one
hundred and fifty Belgian children for
,lx months. It cost them $150 a month,
to they raised $900 and paid It down.
Many of tho children of tho members
ef this branch of tho aid helped to raise
the money, some of them shoveling snow
In the winter, somo running errands and
doing various other things.
The llttlo bird who told mo of this said
that Mrs. Arthur Rush was tho person
who thought tho matter out and sug
gested that tho branch do this among Its
ouny other good works.
MRS. ETHAN FLAG 0 BUTLER, who
will bo remembered as Miss Margaret
penshaw, of Chestnut Hill, has been visit.
Ing her mother, Airs, iouis ncnsnaw, on
gt. Martina lano. uocior isuuor, you ru
membor, was In service during tho first
year of tho war, and was decorated by
King Peter for his excellent work In alle
viating tho suffering of the unfortunato
during tho terrlflo outbreak of typhus
fever. Mrs. Butler has returned with her
gmall daughter, Agnes, who was chrlst
ned on Sunday week at tho Church of
gt Martln-ln-tho-FIelds. Doctor Butler
expects to leavo shortly for France.
IT'S Quito remarkablo how many beau
tiful things are dono by kind-hearted
people In this world, and which pass un
seen and unknown (except to tho persons
the good deed directly affects). Just such
a thing was dono recently in a very deli
cate way, and tho doer (ho or she) did it
anonymously, so tho weo bird who told
me of it says.
It appears n young woman who be
longs to tho great working class lost a
sum of money recently which would per
haps havo seemed small to some, but was
a severo loss for her, and though sho
mado every effort to trnco it, there was
no trace, and sho finally camo to believe
It had been stolen from her.
Several of her friends know of It and were
very sympatheticbut It could not bo found.
Imaglno her surprlso and pleasure when
one morning U letter was handed to her,
In which sho found Inclosed several bills
which covered tho amount sho had lost.
There was a llttlo noto with it, but tho
monogram on tho noto had been carefully
cut out so that thero was no traco of the
initials (showing that tho writer had
dono theso dellpato things In other cases,
too). The noto said that a good fairy had
told the writer to send tho inclosed, that
It was so seldom wrongs could bo righted
It gavo great plcasuro to do It, and It
was signed "a good friend."
The wee bird says there was no post
mark which could Identify it; in fact, It
was evident the donor did not want the
good deed "seen of men," and evidently
knew the recipient well enough to know
that sho would not havo accepted a pres
ent given in the ordinary way which
would have covered tho loss, so did it in
this way, which mado It impossible for
her to return It and equally possible for
her to accept it with a clear conscience
Certainly you will agree with mo it was
a beautiful thing to do.
iTIHE ways of young gentlemen while
calling on young ladles aro most pe
culiar theso days. I was told tho other
day of a young man who Is supposed to
be engaged to a certain young girl. Be
lieve me, sho Is most popular and most
attractive, and sho has not taken him for
lack of other ndmlrers. Well, he called
on her ono evening recently and was so
much under tho influence of liquor ho
could not rlso from his chair when her
mother entered tho room.
Poor girl! I do hopo she can reform
him, but I think sho will havo ono big
job. If he doe3 this and other such
things now, what will it bo when they aro
married? NANCY WYNNE.

OHArTr.K XII (Continued)
THK tan-fneed cub licked his chops Just
onco, ns It torn between tho prospective
delight of mauling I'lpoonahkoos nnd the
moro Imperative duty of following Thor.
The other gave him no choice With a
whimpering velp bo set off nfter his mother.
Kxcltlng times followed for tho two cubs.
All that night Thor nnd Iskwao kept by
themselves In tho buffalo willow thickets
and tho balsams or tno crccx wnu j.....j
In tho eenlng IMpoonaskoos snenked up to
his mother nKaln, and Thor lifted him Into
the middle of the creek. Tho second visual
proof of Thor's dlspleasuro Impinged upon
Munskwa tho fact that tho older bears were
not in a mood to tolerato tho companion
ship of cubs, and the result was a wary
and suspicious truco between him and
ripoonaskoos.
All tho next day Thor and Iskwao kept
to themselves. Knrly In the mor,n,1,n!;
Muskwa began adventuring nbout a little
In quest of food. Ho liked tender grass, but
It wns not very tilling. Several times ho
saw l'lpoonaskoos digging In tho soft Hot-
tom ClOSO tn UIO CreCK, mm mmi.j
tho other cub awny from n partly digged
hole nnd Investigated for himself After a
llttlo moro excavating ho pulled out n white,
bulbous, tender root that ho thought was
tho sweetest nnd nicest thing ho had oyer
eaten, not even excepting tlsh. "was tho
ono bonno boucho of all tho good things lie
would eventually learn to cat tho spring
beauty. Ono othor thing nlono was nt all
comparable with It, nnd that Was tho dog
tooth violet. Spring beauties were growing
about him abundantly, nnd ho continued to
dig un 1 his feet wero grievously tender.
But ho had the satisfaction of being com
fortably fed.
Thor was again responslblo for a fight
between Muskwa nnd ripoonaskoos.. Late
in tho afternoon tho older bears wero lying
down sldo by side In a thicket when, with
out any apparent reason at all. Thor
opened his huge Jaws and emitted a low.
steady, growling roar that sounded very
much like tho sound ho had mado when
tearing tho life out of the big black. Iskwao
ra"ed her head and Joined him In tho
"mult, both of them perfectly good-natured
and nu to happy during the operntlon. hy
mating bears indulge In this blood-curdling
5!". T, mnorv which only tho bears
themselves can explain.
It lasts for about a minute, nnd during
this particular minute Muskwa, who lay
outside the thicket, thought that surely tho
K"oriotis hour had come when Thor was
beating up tho parent of ripoonaskoos. And
Instantly ho looked for ripoonaskoos.
Unfortunately the Willle-bcar came
sneaking round tho edge of tho brush Just
Sen and Muskwa gaco hlnv no chance to
ask flues ions. Ho shot at lSm In a black
streak and ripoonaskoos bowled over like
n. fat baby For several minutes they bit
and dug and clawed, most of the biting nnd
Srgglng and clawing being dono by Muskwa
while "ripoonaskoos dovotcd bis tlmo and
energy to yelping.
Finally tho larger cub got away and
again took to flight. Muskwa pursued him,
into the brush and out. down to the creek
and back, halfway up the s opo and down
again until he was so tired ho had to drop
on his bolly for a rest.
At this Juncturo Thor emerged from tho
thkkot Ho was alone. For tho first tlmo
since last night ho seemed to notice Musk
wa Then ho sniffed tho wind up the valley
and down the valley, nnd after that turned
and walked straight towaru the distant
slopes down which they had come the pre
ceding afternoon. Muskwa was both pleased
nnd rVerplexed. He wnnted to go Into the
ticket and snarl nnd pull at the hide of
tho dead bear that must bo In there, and ho
also wanted to finish ripoonaskoos. After
a moment or two of hesitation he ran after
ThS?nd again followed close at his heels.
After a little Iskwao camo from the thick
et and nosed the wind as Thor had felt It.
Then she turned In the opposite dlrectlbi,,
nnd with ripoonaskoos close behind her.
went up tho slopo and continued slowly and
steadily In the face of the setting sun.
So ended Thor's love-making nnd Musk
wa's first fighting i and together they trailed
rastward again, to face the most terrible
nerll that had ever come Into the mountains
for four-footed beast a peril that was
merciless, a peril from which there was no
escape, a peril that was fraught with death.
CIIAl'TEIl XIII
... first night nfter leaving Iskwao dnd
rlooonaskoos the big grlwly and the tan
fared cub wandered without sleep under
h brilliant stars. Thor did not hunt for
meat. He climbed a steep slope, then went
Aown the shate Bide of a dip, and In a small
basin hidden at the foot of a mountain came
io a soft green meadow where the dog
tooth violet, with its slender Btem, Its two
:?.:. nt,. ieave. Ha slnile cluster of five.
ytal4 flowers, anA it lusclou bulbous
' -,
POSITION
root grew In great profusion. And
here
nil through tho night ho dug nnd nte.
Muskwa, who had filled himself on spring
beauty ioo'.s, was not hungry, nnd as the
day had haeii n restful ono for htm, outsldn
of his fighting, ho found this night filled
with Its brilliant stars qulto enjoyable.
Tho moon camo up nbout 10 o'clock, and
It was tho biggest, and tho reddest, and
the most beautiful moon Muskwa bad seen
In his fhort life. It rolled tip over the
peaks like a forest fire, and filled all the
Rocky Mountains with a wonderful glow.
Tho basin. In which thero were perhaps ten
acres of meadow, wns lighted up almost
like day. Tho llttlo lako at tho foot of
the mountain glimmered softly, nnd tho
tiny stream that fed It from tho molting
snows n thousand feet nbovo shot down in
glistening cascades that cnught tho moon
light UUo rivulets of dull polished dia
monds. About thn meadow were scattered little
clumps of bushes nnd a few balsams and
vpruco, ns If set thero for ornamental pur
poses; and on ono sldo there wns a nar
row, verdure-covered slldo that sloped up
ward for a third of n mile, and nt tho top
of which, unseen by Muskwa nnd Thor, a
band of sheep wero sleeping.
Muskwa wandered about, always near
Thor, Investigating tho clumps of bushes.
tho dark shadows of the balsams and
spruce, and tho edge of tho lake. Hero
ho found a plashet of soft mud which was
a great solaco to his sore feet Twenty
times during tho night ho waded in the
mud.
Hven when tho dawn came Thor seemed
to bo In no great haste to leavo tho basin.
Until tho sun wns well up ho continued to
wander about tho meadow and Kio edge of
tho lake, digging up occasional roots and
eating tender grass. This did not dlspleaso
Muskwa, who made his breakfast of the
dog-tooth violet bulbs Tho ono matter
that puzzled him was why Thor did not go
Into tho lake ami throw out trout, for he
yet bad to learn that all water did not
contain fish. At last ho went fishing for
himself und succeeded In getting a black
hard-shelled water beetle that nipped his
noso with a pair of pcedle-like pincers nnd
brought a yelp from him.
It wns perhaps 10 o'clock and the sun
filled basin wan like a warm oven to a
thlck-coatod bear, when Thor searched up
among tho rocks near tho waterfall until
ho found a placo that was as cool as an
old-fashioned cellar. It was a miniature
cavern. All nbout It the slate nnd sand
stone was of a dark and clammy wet from
a hundred llttlo trickles of snow water that
ran down from tho peaks.
It was Just tho sort nf a place Thor loved
on a July day, but to Muskwa It was dark
and gloomy nnd not a thousandth part as
pleasant as tho sun. Fo, after an hour or
two, ho left Thor In his frlgldarlum nnd
began to Investigate tho treacherous ledges.
For a fow minutes nit wont well then he
stopped on a grcen-tlntcd slopo of slate,
over which a very shallow drlbblo of wator
was running. Tlio water naa oeen running
over It Just that way for somo centuries,
and the shelving slato was worn ns smooth
ns tho surface of a polished pearl and It
was ns slippery ns a greased pole. Muskwa's
feet went out from under him so quickly
that ho hardly know whahad happened.
Tho next moment ho was o Wills way to tho
lake a hundred feet bolow IIo rolled over
nnd over. Ho splashed Into shallow pools.
Ho bounced over miniature waterfalls like
a rubber ball. The wind was knocked out
of him. Ho wns blinded nnd dazed by
water and shock, and ho gathered fresh
speed with every yard he made. Ho had
succeeded In letting out half a dozen ter
rified yelps nt the start, nnd theso roused
Thor.
Where the water from tho peaks fell Into
tho lake there was a precipitous drop of
ten feet, nnd over this Muskwa shot with
a momentum that carried him twice ns far
out Into tho pond.
Ho hit with a big splash, and disappeared.
Down nnd down he went, where everything
wns black and cold and suffocating ; then
tho llfe-nreserver with which nature had
endowed him In tho form of his fat brought
him to tho surface.' Ho began to paddle
with nil four feet. It was his first mvlm,
nnd when be finally dragged himself ashore
ho was limp nnd exhausted.
While ho still lay panting nnd very much
frightened, Thor came down from tho rocks.
Muskwa's mother had given him a sound
cuffing when he got the porcupine quill In
his foot. She had cuffed him for every
accident he had bad, because she believed
that cuffing was good medicine. Education
Is largely cuffed Into a bear cub, nnd she
would have given him a fine cuffing now.
But Thor only smelled of him, saw that
he was all right, nnd began to dig up a
dog-tooth violet.
He had not finished the violet when sud
denly he stopped. For a half-minute he
etood like a statue. Muskwa Jumped and
shook himself. Then he listened. A sound
came to both of them. In one slow, grace
ful movement the grizzly reared himself
to his full height. He faced the north, his
ears thrust forward, the sensitive muscles
of his nostrils twitching. He could smell
nothing, but he heard 1 . ..
Over the slopes which they had climbed
there had come to him faintly a sound that
was new to him, a sound that had never
before been a part of hla life. It was the
barking of dogs.
For two minutes Thor sat on his
haunches without moving a muscle of his
great body except those twltchlaff thaws
In hla nose. '
Deep down In thla cup under, tea tnoun
lata It wa ! evaa for KmM to raft
Mi.
him. Quickly he swung down on all foura
and made for the green slope to the south
ward, nt the top of which the band of sheep
had slept the preceding night Muskwa
hurried after.
A hundred yards up the slop Thor
stppped and turned. Again he reared him
self. Now Muskwa also faced to the north.
A sudden downward drift of the wind
brought the barking of the dogs to them
clearly.
Less than half a mile away Langdon's
pack of trained Airedales was hot on the
scent. Their baying was filled with the
flerco excitement which told Bruce and
Langdon, a quarter of a mile behind them,
that they wero close upon their prey.
And even more than It .thrilled them did
the tonculnc of thn dnr thrill Thor. Again
It was Instinct that told him a new enemy
had come Into his world. He was not
afraid. But that Instinct urged him to re
treat, and he went higher until be came
to a part of tho mountain that was rough
and broken, where once more he halted.
This tlmo ho waited. Whatever the men
nee was It was drawing nearer with the
swiftness of the wind. He could henr It
coming up tho slopo that sheltered the basin
from tho vnllcy.
Tho crest of that slope was Just about
on a level with Thor's eyes, nnd as he
looked tho leader of tho pack camo up over
the edge of (t nnd stood for n moment out
lined agalnst'the sky. The others followed
quickly, and for perhnps thirty seconds they
stood rigid on the cap of the hill, looking
down Into the basin nt their feet nnd sniff
ing tho heavy scent with which It was
filled.

In part:
"In tho months that havo Just passed we

meet tho constantly increasing demands
which will bo mado upon us to supply the
needs of ourselves nnd our nllles In tho
world war In which wo nro now engaged.
On every hand wo hear the cry go up for
men trained men ; men who can do things;
who nro the best fitted In their particular
line of endeavor.
"Hero lies the opportunity for you who
have had tho advantage of a college train

thing that you did not originally possess.
" has simply developed your powers
to tho point where you should be nhlo to
get the greatest nmount of good from them.
"Wo nro normally n peaceful nation, and
many of us are Inclined to feel that serious
harm cannot reach us, but this war that we
havo been forced Into will come pretty close
to many of us before wo get through with
it, and tho sooner all of us understand that
It means effort nnd sacrifice, the better we
shall bo able to meet whatever the future
may bring to us nnd do our part."

"I WANT TO KNOW"
My dear Llttlo Soldiers I want to talk
to you today about two very simple words.
One of them Is tho ninth letter of the
alphabet nnd the other Is WANT. The first
Is, of courso. "I," the second sometimes
means "poverty."
Tho two words put together nre "I want"
I remember a very dear old lady who
used to say "I want to know" to every
thing Instead of "Is that so?" as some
people say.
What do YOU want? Do you realize that
you aro nothing moro than "I want?"
There Is always a great LONQINd for
something. Many peoplo have many dif
ferent kinds of WANTS.
I hopo you nro llko tho old lady and
WANT TO KNOW. Knowledge Is TOWER.
Is thero anything you want which I can
help you get? Wrlto nnd tell me.
Your loving editor,
FARMER SMITH.
STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMP.US
CARLO
Dy Farmer Smith
It was quite dark when Billy Bumpus
ran under tho barn ho could not even see
that thero was some ono there.
It was Carlo, tho farm dog. Ho was
fast asleep, and when ho was nwakened
with n start by some ono coming In on
top of him he began to growl.
"Gently, gently!" whispered Billy. "Don't
mako so much noise, or I may get In
troduced to the wrong end of a pitchfork."
"Oh. It Is YOU, Is It?" said Carlo.
"Look here," began Billy, "every one
seems to know me. How do you know
me? Mrs. Hen seemed to know all nbout
mo. and now you Bay, 'It's you, Is 117' "
"Don't you know that a goat Is a goat,
and when we hear of a goat wo always
laugh, and when wo are speaking of a goat
we always act as If wo know the goat
Even though I can't see you, I know you
aro a goat. But what aro you doing here?"
Carlo shook himself and started to go out
"I have Joined tho Industrial Army," an
swered Billy.
"So you nre going to work on the farm?"
"I hopo so." replied Billy.
Carlo laughed. "I don't know what you
can do. There nre too many here now."
"The first thing I am going to do Is to
get n good nap, and then I will bo ready
for work," answered Billy.
Carlo disappeared and In a few minutes
Billy Bumpus was fast asleep. When he
awoke It was quite dark, and as ho got
up ho bumped his head on the floor of the
barn.
"That woke me up al right," he was
saying, when who should come In but Carlo I
"What Is there to cat nround here?"
asked Billy.
"What do you like?" asked Carlo.
"At this particular minute I would like
a nice piece of rope." Billy had not the
slightest idea that there was any rope
within a thousand miles.
Now, It happened that Carlo did not
like the Idea of having a goat around, so
ho thought of a brilliant Idea. He said
slowly:
"There Is a rope hanging down beside
the post back of the kitchen. I think you
will like it."
Carlo had forgotten to mention the fact
that there was a bell on the top of the
post, a fact which Billy did not know.
Carlo thought that If Billy pulled the rope
the slightest bit It might ring the bell.
It did not take long for Billy to come
out from under the barn and start for the
bell post He did not even look up toward
the top of the post, but started, over to
take a nibble out of the end of the rope.
As, soon as he got the rope In his teeth
and started to eat It a very startling thing
happened.
In the stillness of the night a bell began
to ring. Softly at first, then louder.
Billy thought It sounded louder than the
crash of cannon. But he did not have time
to do very much thinking, for from all
sides men came running,
"Where Is the fire?" asked one ot the
men as ha ran past iuy.
