E UBY-omS'iel.d Beaconlj Z THE GOLDEN MARE Each evening as the blazing sun sank behind the face of the earth and the searching wind hushed to a gentle breeze, the thundering of hoof beats came across the wooded hillside and onto the field. ln the light of the moon, a golden mane blew against a shimmering arched neck of deeper gold. Two fiashing eyes shone from a proud fore- head. A flowing tail was carried by the wind. As the hoofbeats grew louder and nearer, Robin dashed out of the house and onto the cool grassy field. Her heart beat faster and faster as she waited for the palomino to draw closer. Then the beautiful mare stood in front of the trembling young girl. Robin stroked the long nose and arched neck as she and the horse softly conversed. Suddenly the magnifi- cent horse wheeled and, with a significant whinny, broke into a gallop. When Robin reached home, she was almost crying. She wanted so much to own this beautiful palomino, but instead the wilderness claimed it. Every day Robin worked hard on the farm preparing for the rest of the winter. She worked much of the time but after all her work was done she would hurry to the field now covered with snow. As the winter grew bitter with sleet and wind, the mare came more often. Robin always had some oats and a few sections of sweet-smelling hay for the horse. Soon spring had come and the two friends spent much time in the grass-covered field. Robin knew deep down in her heart that she was the only human that the mare would venture near. She knew, too, that the mare because of her wild nature would never let Robin or anyone else put a saddle on her. V One evening as the horse disappeared again into the distant hills, the girl realized that this mare could never be owned by anyone. As she lay in her bed that night, she could hear the gentle neigh of the beloved horse and then the pounding hoofbeats as Mother Wilderness claimed her un- tamed child.

A PLEASANT OLD LADY When I was in grade school, I used to help an elderly lady by raking leaves in the spring and fall, and by keeping her flower gardens in order. Anything that was out-of-doors, she loved. Flowers, birds, and animals - all were like children to her. She had lovely fiower gardens, and she saw Page 'Thirty-eight
