Associated Kditors) THE GRAND OLD DOGS "Wouldn't you hate to be a trav eler, lost in the snow on a night like this?" shivered Clyde. "You bet," agreed Mills. "I was Just reading about how in the old days travelers used to get lost In the Swiss Alps and the monks from the monastery of St. Bernard used to go out with their big St. Bernard dogs and find these lost wanderers and bring them in to the warm, safe monastery. The dogs would find the way." "I've heard a lot about those dogs," said Clyde. "Wish we had one. It's a shame so many of them were killed off when they were used as Red Cross dogs in the war." Mills nodded. "People don't ap preciate those fine dogs, and they idon't raise them so much any more, because they aren't very popular as show-dogs. They're the biggest dogs in the world. For hundreds of years the monks bred them es pecially for their intelligence, strength and working qualities." "Last summer," said Clyde, "I no ticed a family down at the beach that had one to guard their chil dren. The St. Bernards are great water dogs, you know. This old fellow was a regular nursemaid for those kids. He'd chase after them and run with them just like a regu lar human being." "They're brave dogs, too," added Mills, "but they're not fighters. I hope they don't disappear. I guess those travelers in the snow how fine it was to bo starting out in the world for himself. He arrived in the city late in the evening. The noises and largeness of the big city bewildered him and he began to feel a little panic stricken. He asked the way to a cheap rooming house. It was an ugly, dirty room the crabbed land lady gave him. How . different from home! Stevie couldn't get to sleep that night. What would his mother do when she found him gone? He hadn't thought, when he went away, how she would feel. Before dawn Stevie was up and walking about near the railroad station. When the early train left in the direction of his town, Stevie was on it. All the way from the station to his house he dreaded facing his mother. He found the house dark and si lent. Perhaps they were still out hunting him. Maybe his father had notified the police. Then he heard a step on the front porch. The door opened. "Why, Stevie," said his mother. ''You poor boy. Have you been alone in the house all night? Didn't you see my note?" "What note?" asked the bewild ered boy. "Why, I left a note on your bu reau telling you that your father and I were going out to the Mc- C'lusky wedding at Five Points and would stay there for the night. I told you to go over to Aunt Mayi. Whatever did you think had be come of us?" ploded. Then the Spaniards had surrender. After that they marched to Pan ama, which they took, after twelve hours of steady fighting. They set to work to plunder the place, but Morgan began to have some trou ble with his men aud he decided to pull out. He slipped away to the island of Jamaica. The governor there was afraid of Morgan, so he took him in. Morgan is Knighted "The King ot England had been hearing about Morgan, and he sent for the pirate and the governor of Jamaica to come to England to ex plain things. Morgan convinced Ihe king that now he was going to be a nice, respectable citizen, so the king made him Sir Henry Mor gan and gave him a job as lieutenant-governor of Jamaica. He made a pretty good governor, too, and cleaned out the pirates around there. Having been one himself he knew how to get at them, I guess. see, to tell us some more abou the stories his Uncle Ned had picked up when he was traveling around those inlands of the Carrib bean Sea. "The way this Morgan happened to be a pirate was this. He was born in Wales, and when he was just a boy he was kidnapped in Bristol and shipped to Barbados, one of these islands I was telling you about. There he was bound and forced to work. As soon as ho had served his time, he sailed to Jamaica, and joined the buccan eers. ' Morgan Becomes Chief "He didn't know what it meant to be afraid of anything. So pret ty soon he got to be a favorite among the pirates. First thing he knew, the pirate admiral there in Jamaica made him his vice-admiral, and when the admiral died Morgan was the chief of the band.

"So this is what you have been doing, is if, Fanny?" asked a stern but not unkindly voice. The girls both jumped, but Fanny was to late. Her mother had seen the pages of her story lying on the ta ble. "You know your father wouldu't approve of your writing novels, my dear, so you'd better burn it up before he hears of it." Poor Fanney! to burn up her dear Lord Farrington and Caroline Evelyn would almost break her heart, but she knew she must do it. Several years later Fanny Bur ney (1752-1840) determined to write a novel and publish it anon ymously. It was called "Evelina," and it made such a hit that all of London talked about the book and wondered who wrote it. When the secret came out, Fan ney rose to prominence and her father was very proud of her Boys' and Girls' Newspaper.

She did not even notice the minister who was calling on her mother until he asked her why she had named her bear "Gladly." "Why, from the hymn we sing at church," explained Ann, with a lit tle toss of her head at the stupidity of grown people. "We have no hymn called 'Glad ly.'
