HI
JJ 6s Frances Trf.qo Montgomerv
All the time Billy Jr. had boon
encouraging hhj flock, the wolvos
'had boon drawing nearer and
'bearer, until now only tbe bend of
the pass separated them from the
flock. ;, ?
! Soon the yellowish light t)f seven
pairs of eyes glared through ho
'blackness' This .was met by tho
fiery red light In Billy Ji.'s eyes
The trembling aheep dared not
move nor look up. Not so Billy!
His ' eyes fairly blazed ' defiance,
and with a 6nort of rage he bound
ed on the leader of the pack and
killed him before he knew what
had struck him. Billy was bo
black the wolves could not Bee
him; all they cculd see was the
red balls of fire that seemed to be
here, there,' and everywhere, tho
most deadly balls they had ever
come in contact with, for when
ever then appeared a wolf lay dead
the next moment.
' Billy heard a bleat of agony, and
looking to where it come from, saw
dark object in among the white,
and knew that a wolf had broken
through the ring he had formed for
their protection and the old rams
were deserting the! ropst and run
ning away.
"Come back, you cowards," Billy
cried. "You will only be killed" If
you go out alone." This brought
them to their senses and they clos-
ed in once more around the sheep,
but left Billy to do all the fighting,
This he did with A vengeance and
to such good purpose that the
wolves commenced to slink away,
wondering what kind of a leader
these sheep had in the place of
bid Long Hair.
The. next morning Billy Jr. led
the sheep home, thinking it would
be better for them In the corral
than out In the mountains until
the weather moderated, for they
were not used to such storms in this
climate.
When Mr. Wilder saw Billy lead
ing the flock home he went to
meet him on Star and said:
"Billy, I was not mistaken In
taking you for a born leader. You
are worth your weight In gold. But

them. In the winter when they get
cold, they put on another kimona.
Sometimes they wear as many as
twelve. The kimonas are very pret
ty. Some are silk and satin, while
others are only cotton. When the
children go to grade school they
wear bright colored kimonas, but
when they go to the middle school
they wear dark ones. They wear
little aprons which are very cute.
They have little slits in the sides,
and tie with ribbons In the back,
they wear little flat boards with
little blocks under them which they
call shoes. I like the way the Jap
anese dress don't you?

it beats me where you hid your
selves last night, . for we looked
for you and could not find one of
you. And then for you to come
back out of such a storm without
even a lamb missing Is remarkable
I wonder the wolves did not get
after you and kill some of the
young lambs, even If they did not
freeie to death." And Billy Jr,
wondered what he would have said
could he see the dead wolves ly
ing in the canon.
Three days after the dead bod
ies were found by a man from an
other ranch when looking for his
sheep that had been lost since the
night of the storm and, seeing
some small flecks of wool stick
ing to the Bide of the rocks op
posite, he knew why his neigh
bors sheep had not been killed and
his had. He immediately rode
back and told Mr. Wilder, who rode
back to see where Billy had fought
his brave battle and saved so
many lives. From that time on
Billy was the hero he deserved to
he an 1 no amount of money could
have bought him

The butler asked Mr. Van Har
rltt for his card , Mr. Van Har
riett said, "I haven't any card and
what does a card have to do with
my seeing Miss Gilem?" The but
ler said in a cross voice, "Well,
you cannot see Miss Gilem unless
you have a card, telling your name
and what you want," Mr. Van Har
rltt said to the butler, "Tell Miss
Gilem that her music teacher was
here," the butler laughed and said
"That's an awful tale to tell her"
all the way up the stairs the but
ler would turn and look at Mr.
Van Harritt and daughter.
When the butler told Ruth what
Mr. Van Harritt said, Ruth said,
"Bring him right up," bo the but
ler did.
Ruth was dressed in a blue
georgette dress with ruffles and a
pink flower,
Mr. Van Harritt hadjhlmself ghe utopped and ex
on an old dress suit, but It had
been pressed.
Ruth was very talkative and
when she would start to play the
piece on, the piano she would stop
and ask Mr. Van Harritt unneces
sary Questions
Sometimes she would fool him
and play the piece all through with
out stopping, then Mr. Van Harritt
would say, "You played that well,
play it again," but she would not;
play the piece through without,
stopping the second time. She
would stop and ask Mr. Van Har
ritt an unnecessary question.
Sometimes she would ask him
why he was so sad, but he would
only say that If Bhe would not
quit asking him questions he
would not give her any more les
sons, so Ruth promised not to ask
him any more questions, so she
played her lessons without asking
so many questions.
When she was through playing
she gave Mr. Van Harritt some
money. Mr. Van Harritt did not
want to take the money because
in Germany he was a rich man and
would give neonle lesoni free, but
the lady '"sisted on him taking
it. ?o he did.
She told h'm to come back the
next week and she would know her
lesson hotter, nnd she would not
ston In the mMdle of the piece and
ask him questions.
Mr. Van Harritt left Ruth prac
ticing, so she would know her les
sons the next time her teacher
came.

THE WING MAKER
One day a little Elfish man,
Amid his wanderings.
Espied a funny little Crow
Who manufactured wings;
And to his factory all the birds
With wings to mend,
Would go as fast as they could hop,
And hard their needs attend.
The Crow", friend of the little man.
And much to his surprise,
Presented him a pair of wings
Of most unusual size.
It pleased the little man so much
The wonder wings to see,
He lost all self-control, 'tis said,
And skipped and danced in glee.
And wfien the Crow tried on his
wtngs,
To rt that they were right.
The liiflo Elf 'said, "Thank you,
AM right out of sight.

One of the best tricks of my pet

he perches himself In a rocking
chair and grabbing in his mouth
the telephone cord that hangs
close by, pulls on It and rocks him
self back and forth.
One evening we were all sitting
around our base-burner. Teddy
was In the rocking chair swaying
back and forth with much ease
when suddenly he gave a little
whimper, Jumped down from the
chair, ran back of the stove and lay
down.
Since I am naturally very Inqui
sitive, I Investigated and there un
der the telephone cord I found one
of Teddy's teeth!

THE WAY WE STUDY
GEOGRAPHY AT SCHOOL
In the 6-B grade, Valle school, we
first studied the map of South Am
erica. Then the teacher asked us
what we would like most to know.
Questions were asked, the teacher
wrote on the board, then we found
books at home and at school and
looked up the answers to the ques
tions. The book I liked most to
Mudy Is carpenter's geographical
leader. I like this way of studying
! very much.
