Ira W Jayne, superintendent of the

Mr. Jayne says that at no time

ego has this city been so near to
realizing Its hope* tn this regard
as at the present time He savs
that the recreation eorann. -ion has

Hie society owns about 100 acre*
of what is characterized as * xcellent

enough of this to make a nine hoi.

v.ih zoological features It la pro
posed to make the golf course a
part of the general scheme and to
relinquish the land at any future
date upon the request of the so

Mr Jayne says that nothing of a
t.ngible nature has developed from
ifc negotiations but that early ac

oftlcer* of the society. He .-ava that

The Timid Stranger. %
(Copyright. Itll. by T. W. iiur|M« t
It wan something new for Reddy
Fox to feel bashful. Never in hi*
life had he felt that way before.
Hut now aa be aaw that beautiful
stranger peeping at him from
around the edge of a big rock Reddy
did fe«l baahful, very badhful Indeed.
When he bad flret found the atran
ger'a track* In the Old Pasture he
had started to follow them with an
ger In hia heart. Yea, air, he had
anger In his heart. He meant to
drive that *tranger away from the
Old Pasture. Now all that anger
had melted away, and In Its place
w hs a great long;mg to become ac
quainted with that stranger, and at
the name time such a queer feeling
of nhyneaa. Just imagine Reddy Pox
feeling ah/!
When the beautiful stranger knew
that Reddy saw her peeping around
the rock she dodged back out of
sight. Slowly, bashfully, Reddy
walked over to where she had been.
He hoped to find her Just aronnd be
him! the rock. Rut when he peeped
around she wasn't there. She had
tun away. Yes, sir, the beautiful
stranger had run away. Once more
Reddy felt a great fear that she
would leave the Old Pasture and
that he never would see her again
At once he began to follow her
tracks, running swiftly that ho
might overtake her before she
should leave the Old Pasture. He
felt that If she should do this snd
he should newer see her again he
would be unhappy all the rest of his
life.
Hut the besutlful stranger was
very, vpry timid, and she vhs very,
very swift of foot Tho lie ran his
beat Reddv found that he could no
more than catch an occasional
glimpse of her red cloak In vain
he called to her that he wouldn't
hurt her. but merely wanted to be
come acquainted with her. As long
as he chased her she ran. But when
h< stopped to rest he noticed that
she also stopped, and If he sat still
very long she would come creeping

head that she was simply very, very

her, and that it might b* that she
would like to make friends wiih him
quite as much aa he would with her.
At thi. bought Reddy begun u

he began to warn to look .ni|K.rtant

more than ever, and ever so slowly

all in a flash she was gone Reddy
wanted to race after her just us he

than before ere she ran away.
VcrJ patiently Reddy did It all
over again, and this time he called
as gentjy as he knew now. She made
no reply, but sh** let him get a little
