Bedtime Story for Children

WIT AGAINST WIT
IT WAS a dreadful game the hunter
with the terrible gun and Llghtfoot
the Deer were playing In the Green
Forest. It was a matching of wit
against wit, the hunter seeking to take
Llghtfoot’s life and Llghtfoot seeking
to save It. The experience of other
years had taught Llghtfoot much of
the ways of hunters and not one of
the things he had learned about them
was forgotten. But the hunter In his
turn knew much of the ways of deer.
So It was that each was trying his
best to outguess the other.
When the hunter found the hiding
place Llghtfoot had left at the warning
of Sammy Jay, he followed Lightfoot’s
tracks for a short distance. It was
slow work and only one whose eyes
had been trained to notice little things
could have done It. You see, there was
no snow and It was only now and then
when he had stepped on a bit of soft
ground that Llghtfoot had left a foot
print. Hut there were other signs
which the hunter knew how to read, a
freshly upturned leaf here and there,
a bit of moss lightly crushed. These
things told the hunter which way
Llghtfoot had gone.
Slowly, patiently, watchfully, the
hunter followed. After a while he
•topped with a satlsilel grin. “I thought
as much,” he muttered. “He heard that
pesky Jay and circled nround so us
to get my scent. I'll just cut ncross to
my old trail nrul unless I am greatly
mistaken I’ll find Id. tracks there.”
So, swiftly but silently, the hunter
cut ncross to his old trnll and In a
few moments he found just wlmt he
expected, one of Llghtfoot's footprints.
Once more he grinned. “Well, old fel
low, I’ve outguessed you this time,’
said he to himself. “1 am behind you
and the wind is from you to me so
that you cannot get my scent. 1
wouldn’t be a bit surprised If you're
hack right where you started from,
behind that old windfall.” He at once
began to move forward silently and
cautiously with eyes and ears alert

Now when Llghtfoot, following be

the latter, be guessed right away that
the latter had found Ills tracks and had
started to follow them. Llghtfoot
stood still and listened with all Ids
might for some little sound to tell him
where the hunter was. Hut there was
no sound and after a little Llghtfoot
began to move on. Me didn't dare re

up within shooting distance.
There was only one direction In
which It was safe for Llghtfoot to

none of the dreaded man smell he

* It Is lonely on our street
No small girl to smile my way.
No bright curls and twinkling feet.
All tier playmates are in school,
Harry, Hhil and little Nan—
It was noisy, ns a rule,
On our street till school began.
Sometimes in the afternoons,
When they took their naps at three.
There were no bright baby tunes,
And no voices calling me.
Now the morning breeze is cool,
Ami September’s sky Is gray.
All the sunshine is in school,
