One, two, and before he could say three they saw the head and shoulders of Bruno sticking through the hole. Hide and keep still, chattered Jimmy. When Bruno found that he could go no farther he backed and walked off. By the time Bruno reached the house, Digger and Jimmy were half way across the meadows running as fast as their legs could carry them. They stopped as soon as they came to the old rock fence. I Digger was panting so he could hardly talk. Let's eat the chickens here, panted Digger. Soon Digger and Jimmy were leaning against the old stone fence quite satisfied, while only a few feathers and bones showed that there had ever been any chickens there. It's about time I was going home, said Digger. We'll come and get some chickens some other night. Digger was soon home curled up and sleeping peacefully, and dreaming abouteating chickens. Chapter III. , Digger woke up in the morning when Mr. Sun was high in the blue sky. He was hungry and waddled down toward the smiling pool to find some tender roots. He saw old Grandfather Frog sitting on his lily pad, sing- ing Hchugerum, chugerumj' in his deep bass voice. Hello, said Digger, How are you this fine spring morn- 5?77 ing. Just then Jasper Jay interrupted them with his shrill shrieking. When he saw them he flew down where they WBFC. Say, Digger, do you know that Rancher Brown is coming to shoot you for stealing his chickens. I saw him coming across the green meadows with a gun and dog. You had bet- ter leave the green forest. Old Grandfather was so surprised that he fell off his lily pad into the water. My goodness! said Digger and ran off as fast as his stubby legs could carry him, and none of the little folk of the green forest ever saw him again. They often wondered why he went away, but they never found out. FOOD ALPHABET By JAMES SHIRLEY, Eighth Grade. I A is for Apple . Which we like to eat, B is for Bread Which we eat with meat.

The highest peak, Agassiz towers 12,300 feet into the sky. Then come the lesser peaks, Humphrey and Fremont. Each of these are over 10,000 feet. All of them have snow on them nearly all the year round. One peak, O'Leary, has a formation on it that looks like a baby's face. There is quite a legend that concerns this. On one side lived some giants and on the other there lived some dwarfs. Once a giant told a dwarf about the magic Elixir of Strength that made the giants so strong and high. Many dwarfs tried to get it but they all failed. The king of the dwarfs tried. He went into the giants' land and took a giant baby out of its cradle and put him with the dwarfs. Then he took the giant's baby's place. He lived with Mrs. Giant about ten years. One day the queen came and said that she Wanted him for the fool at her court. While he was there he found that the queen kept the magic Elixir of Strength on her bureau. He tried twice to get it but failed. The third time he was successful. He escaped into the land of the dwarfs. He found that the giant baby he had given to the dwarfs had become king. When the queen found that the magic potion had been taken by the dwarf king she made war on them. The dwarf One Hundred Fifty-Six
