THE FABLE OP THE TIP AND THE TREASURE (Aug. 11). — Once there was a prominent lad named Roger Danby whose grandpa, Rufus Danby, had been a roving sea captain. Among the old traps belonging to the adventurous old sea dog was a log boom — in which he had placed a dusty document.

Sure enough there was the boulder, but there was a bird perched on it. Eleanor was painting scenery and daubed her heart on Roger's new khaki shirt.
