He tried to make up his mind to wait and trust to luck that she or one of the others would later pass directly under him.

Yowler sappointed that he felt like vell- But he did He said able on nb, and watched Paddy and his family work, tugging their logs over the dam at a point where he could not reach them. ‘When the logs were over and in the Laughing Brook on the other side of the dam they were towed down to Paddy’s old pond. The moment the Beavers were out of sight Yowler moved. Down from the tree he came and swiftly ran along the dam to where a great, high rock formed one of its supports. Up on this he sprang. Jie arched his back for a moment, which is one way in which he stretches, then flattened himself on that rock. In the shadows his coat was 50 near the color of the rock that he seemed to be a part of it. “I'll spend the vest of the night here if necessary,” thought Yowler. “Paddy will look for me in the tree where he lixt saw me. Not seeing me, he will think that T huve given up and gone away. One of those young Beavers dragged his log across right close to When they return they will have to cross the dam somewhere and perhaps they may do it right here. Anyway, I'll have two chances, one when they are on their way back, and when they bring down some more logs. Sooner or later I will get one of them. Yes, sir, sooner or later I will get one of them. This is a very comfortable spot and T don’t mind waiting at all. A little patience is all that is needed to bring success in this world. If I didn't have patience and wasn't ready to try, try again, 1 guess I would soon starve to death. I won- der if T will have time for a cat nap hefore those Beavers return.

Got a sickening date with an awful fish. Some other time if you don’t mind, dear.” So that your faith in human nature and stenographers is rudely shaken. In just the same way do the youns boys of the present day keep their ears open, and listening, hear the ver: same endearments uttered to other as have already been lavished on themselves. And being wise guys to waste on “liners” they treat those affectionate, cooing maidens with « mixture of goodnatured tolerance and familiarity. ey are not moved to deep emotion any longer Ly the casual “Tommy dears and Tommy darli that come their way. ther . with no time apt to grow suspl when these tle re thrown in just to ation interesting.

Imitation. Parents love to discover the power of imitation in their children. It flat- ters and amuses them to sec a small son or daughter apeing their move- ments, pretending he is stalking off to work just like fathe house and acts the s imitate small movements, the: imitate words and later come to re ognize certain groups of words and begin to imitate the reactions to those words by what they have seen adults do, and then we realize that they have come to understand what is said to them. o Since imitation- is the ‘since: it flattery,” we should provide the child with the best models from which to pattern his own behavior. If a child is clever and intelligent, he may come to the stage where he tries out his own behavior as opposed to those round him, and he becomes the diffi- cult child to manage because he re- fuses to do what he is told to do, pre ferring to use his own patterns of be- havior, If one understands just what the child is striving to do and encour: ages him to make a good pattern of behavior and not merely be unruly, because he wants to be different, we can help him to become original and develop his own personality. He must be shown that all of us, for the good of society, must conform to certain models of ‘conduct. Other than that, if he harms no one and does nof make himself a nuisance, he can be “himself.” Children are prone to hero worship and often choose an individual of their acquaintance or in fiction whom they long to imitate. If the real or fiction hero is worth emulation, stim. ulate this excellent idea. The child will develop away from the original model far enough to become a per- songlity. while the child who conform too rigidly to the “hero” model will become a mere pattern of the stand- ard mode in individuals—the person whahasn't_a thought or action out- side_the ordinary.
