angry face above frightened her. And why did that hind leg pain so dreadfully and drag so helplessly? Slowly and pain¬ fully she walked toward the thicket by the stream; crushed in body and spirit, she sought a hidden place. There alone and dying, the mystery of birth took place. Vainly Bijou tried to care for the four little brown puppies, which in their eager desire to live, hurt her so cruelly. Her strength was fast failing, her little heart fast wearing itself out. The parents soon found that the baby was safe, and on righting the cradle found the large snake. In vain they call¬ ed and seal died for poor Bijou but their calls were unanswer ed. Two days later they found the hidden spot and five lit¬ tle stiff bodies. In summer’s warm and leafy month of June, When Blythe birds carol gavly in the trees; Then do the sweet hours flit by all too soon When lightly we are fanned by fragrant trees, And when the drowsy murmur of the bees, The air pervades and lulls us to repose; Then doth earth’s beauty in our eyes increase. Nor care, nor sorrow, in our glad hea rts grow, Nature’s power, the joy of living on our being flows. —H. O. ’12. ( 17 )

and she laJujghed gleefully. The little dog went at once to the cradle and put her paws on the edge as though assuring the child that all was well now, that she had come. But the baby was not half so serious and thought this a fine joke, clapping its hands together a nd crowing loudly. Today, how¬ ever, the dog was in no mood for romp and soon lay down before the cradle and closed her eyes. The baby’s disap¬ pointment did not last long for it was time for a nap. Soon both baby and dog were asleep. Peace and quiet reigned. The breeze was quiet and gentle and the bees droned lazily by. There were no grating sounds of toil or industry. All nature seemed resting. But sudden- ly a scraping noise startles Bijou. A long sinuous body glides from a far corner of the vine covered porch and moves toward the little sleeper. Terror and instinct of self-preservation hold sway in Bijou’s little heart. Wild dread of this unknown thing seizes her. Which will conquer, the instinct of ages or devotion to the child? The time is short, already the snake coils, startled by the dog’s movement. Who shall say what struggle took place in that doggish heart? What devotion put aside the overmastering desire to fly? In a second Bijou has thrown herself upon the snake and is caught in its coils. The struggle seems hopeless, but terror and rage lend Bijou supernatural strength and she succeeds in fixing her teeth in the head of the snake just above the eyes. Her teeth sink in and reach the brain. Gradually the coils relax. Savagely Bijou shakes the snake until it no long¬ er shows signs of resistance. In the struggle the cradle was overturned and the baby thrown on the floor where it lay crying lustily. The poor tired dog released itself from the relaxed coils of the snake and paused at the cradle side to comfort the crying child. The parents heard the noise of the fall, and very much alarmed at the cries of the child rushed up the steps. There lay the child on the floor, its cheek besmeared with blood. Hastily they came to the conclusion that the dog had hurt the baby. To think this was to act. Looking around they saw the dog still patiently waiting. They saw the blood on Bijou’s mouth, and, with a heavy blow, the angry father kicked the dog down the steps. There Bijou lay for a few moments, stunned, then she got up feebly and looked back with won¬ der, amazement and pain in the mild eyes. The fierce am} ( 16 )

By Emil Paulson Third Prize HAT is this?” ' inquired Prank of the postmaster as the last package was handed to him and which prov¬ ed to be a very heavy one. “THAT,” answered the postmaster, “is the monthly wages for the men of the C. D. B. R. R.” “Oh, that’s so. I had almost forgotten that today was the 30th,” replied Frank as he proceeded to put the money in a safe place aboard the “Monsit.” At the time, the “Monsit” was one of the largest airships in that part of the country and was a large craft. She car¬ ried the evening mail from Harrisburgh, a town of south¬ western Canada, to Wilmot, a distance of about 150 miles northward. The “Monsit” carried a crew of nine men, five of which sorted the mail, while one attended to the wireless and made observations, two looked after the engines, and the other, Frank Bennot, was the pilot. After leaving Harrisburgh about forty miles behind them the “Monsit” started to cross a very fertile stretch of coun¬ try covered for miles around with forest. To their right and a few miles in front of them could be seen a small river which twined in and out among the hills on its way to the sea. As they were drawing near the river Frank discerned a small black speck coming towards them in the distance. The speck soon grew larger and Frank knew that it was another aeroplane. He did not pay much attention to it until the wireless operator informed him that they had wired the “Monsit” to stop. “Ask them what they want,” said Frank. When the wireless man left him Frank looked closely at the approaching aeroplane. He saw that it resembled a po lice ship, but he could see that her men were not in the uni¬ form worn by the police of that time. The wireless man returned and told Frank that the answer was, “None of your business. If you don’t stop at once we ( 18 )
