Farmer Brown's Boy had found a little valley high up in the moun- tains, a beautiful little yalley above timber line. On one side was a rock slide and around it the cliffs of the mountain towered toward the sky, It was more of a basin than a valley and in the middle of it was a little meadow of grasses and flow- ers and low plants of various kinds. It was one of the prettiest spots Farmer Brown's Boy had found. Far above the top of the mountains was covered with snow and in the distance were other snow-capped peaks. They glistened in the sun. He gathered some of the flowers with which he was not familiar, carefully placing them between the leaves of a notebook to be pressed and taken home to remind him of this beautiful spot.and to be iden- tified. "Imagine picking flowers in mid- summer and at the same time see ing snow," said he, talking to him- self for lack of anyone else to talk to. "It does seem as if in such a beautiful place someone ought to be living, but I haven't Seen or heard a living creature." As if in reply there came a sound from the rock slide which, while un- like any sound he ever had heard before, he knew must have been made by some small perssn in a fur coat. It wasn't exactly a bark and it wasn't exactly a bleat, but was a little like both. It reminded him of a rubber dog which he had when a little fellow and which made a noise when squeezed. He chuckl- ed at the thought, "Now I wonder what sort of an animal can make a noise like that," thought he. "Whoever it is he is over that rock slide, I'll go over and look for him." So he made his way across to the jrock slide, but when he got there {he could see nothing but rocks. | There were big rocks and little rocks of all shapes and sizes, afford- ing hiding places for an army of {little people, if they were small like {a Mouse and even for bigger people {like Whistler the Marmot. To try to find anyone hidden there would he like trying to find a needle hid- den in a stack of hay, He realized this at once. "It is another case of watchful waiting, I guess," said he, and finding a comfortable seat on a flat rock sat down for a period of unmoving patience he had long ago learned is the only way to get ac- quainted with shy and timid little people. He didn't wait long before he heard that funny little bark again and it appeared to come from just side of where he sat. Very, very slowly so that the movement would not be noticed, he turned his head, but though he looked and looked he saw only a jumble of gray rocks. Then he heard that bark again, this time on the other side, Once more he turned his head with the great- est care, but it was only half way around when that funny little bark sounded from right in fnont of him, or seemed to. With the greatest care he studied the place from which that sound had seemed to come, but the gray rocks were all he saw, After this the funny little bleat- ing barks seemed to come from all around him, and the provoking thing was that they seemed to come from very near him. It was tanta- lizing to feel that that barker was so close by yet not be able to see him. With his eyes, and as you know they were eyes trained to see he went over those rocks inch by inch, yet saw no living thing. All the time he kept hearing those queer little barks. Sometimes they seemed to come from close at hand and sometimes from a distance, and never did they seem to come twice from exactly the same place, "If 1 didn't know better 1 would say that the stones themselves are barking," muttered Farmer Brown's Boy under his breath, "and that a lot of them are de it. There! If that bark didn't come from that little roundish stbne on top of that rocks over yonder where did it come from? Of course it didn't be- cause it couldn't, but if I didn't know it couldn't, I would be will- ing to swear that it did." Farmer Brown's stopped muttering right then and there and his cyes opened wide in surprise That little roundish stone had jumped down from the top of that rock and scampered over to an- other, (Copyright, 1931, by T. W, Burgess) Joy The next story: The Secret is Out, Canadian Girls in Training | The reveille is being sounded; pleated skirts and middies with blue collars are being donned; Canadian Girls in Training are mustering for their Fall and Win- | ter programme. Next week we | hope to be able to publish a com- plete list of the groups in the various churches. But in the midst of these forward glances possibly one backward one may yet be permitted, For, to many of us, the four let- ters, signifying our movement, are still C-A-M-P. To be exact, ninety-five Canadian Girls in Training from Oshawa and six of their leaders answered "the call to go camping" by attending lo- cdl or provincial camps. Early in"July sixteen of our senior girls joined the West York Senior C.G.I.T. camp at Lake Scugog. Later in the month a dozen or so more seniors depart- ed for Beau Rivage on the St. Lawrence, possibly one of our most beautifully situated C.G.I.T. camps. It was about this: time also that our two delegates from Oshawa, Maudie Everson and Greta Maxwell, wefit to Norman- dale on Lake Erie, to represent us at the ever important and popular camp council. To this camp each summer representative girls from all over Ontario gather, work to- gether, play together, for the most part in the interests of C.G. LT. in their own particular cen- tres. Then, towards the end of August, away went a very large group of our intermediate and junior C.G.I.T, population to a week's camp at the Kiwanis site. They were under the happy direc- torship of Miss Doris McCarthy, of Toronto, better known to her Oak Lake friends as "Dips." And what have these campers to say of their experience? Those, who boarded the good ship "Beay Rivage," with Miss Brock of Bish- op Bethune College as their much loved admiral, are most enthusi- astic sailors, Says one young maiden: "I seemed launched on a great adventure... .here we were cut off from everyone, unmolested on a quiet little island all our own,...the routine (morning dip, flag raising, morning watch, interest groups, ete.), and then such diversions as shore break- fasts, and overnight hikes, was steady but not monotonous, with lots of time to go off by oneself to a lonely rock, perhaps shelter- ed by trees, with only the lapping of the water breaking the silence «+. .homesick --oh, dear, no." Then from Lake Scugog comes a voice which tells us of happy hours, spent in word friendship when Japan, Chine, India, Korea, Italy were studied in a most ori- ginal way, and that camp fires and sing-songs at night, together with the spirit of happy friendship which prevailed made it impossi- ble not to enjoy every moment of camp life and remember it with ---- appreciative "How---how's?" Our camp councillors are plan- ning to give us a fairly detailed report at some later time. Mean- while, one of them writes, "from the rising bugle--a la Big Chief Miss McPherson--to the last fond farewell, (Normandale style!) one Is conscious that one is | in- deed fortunate, "To be alive in such an age To live to it To give to it." Bible study hours, Interest groups, such as books, stars, na- ture study, recreational leader- ship and dramatics, treasure hunts, play days and discussion hours (our special privilege, for during these periods, our C.G.LT. problems are discussed and In many cases happily solved) all made an indelible impression on Normandale campers. LADIES' AUXILIARY APPOINTS DELEGATES At last night's meeting of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Cana- dian Legion, Mrs, James Fraser, one of the members who is leav- ing for Scotland tomorrow, was presented with a handsome steamer rug. An address, ex- pressing good wishes fer Mrs. Fraser and a speedy recovery of her health, was read. Mrs, Fraser is returning to Scotland on ac- count of ill-health, The meeting also selected Mrs, H. Foote, the president and Mrs. J. Caunt, first vice-president, as delegates to attend the provincial conven- tion of Ladies' Auxiliaries in St. Thomas next week, The members of the Auxillary were given a cordial" invitation to attend the silver wedding celebration of Mr, and Mrs. Brown, 157 Clarke Street, on Saturday evening.

This worthy work is being carried on by wo- men of the Women's Welfare League of the city, and the vegetables and fruit, of which there are still plenty to do, have been donated by citizens of Osh- awa who have generous supplies of them in their gardens. The members of the League are being assisted in the actual work of putting down the vegetables by a number of the wives of unem- ployed men of the city. Monday morning the work began, but by Tuesday more things had been contributed and the bustle in the church kitchen increased as the women hurried to get through their heavy task. By Wednesday evening they expect to have a sufficient quantity of canned things to be stored for a wealthy source of supply for those in need of food this win- ter, WHAT NEW YORK IS WEARING A snappy sheer printed wor- sted shows new day chic in fem- inine touch in organdie vest.

The name comes from the woodsmen's cabins originally found in the forest. These disapeared and the chapel which took thise place was destroyed in 1346 by the Eng- lish. The little church was dedicated to Saint Fiacre and was no more than a memory when Rene Cuissant ask- ed Louis XIII for permission to use one of the huts as a hermitage. Cuissant, because of his piety and kindness, came to be regarded as a saint and the hut was made the ob- jective of many pilgrimages, It was not long afterwards that a religious order was installed in the huts, and in 1644 Aun of Austria erected a church and monastery on the site, The Fete of Loges was inaugurated eight or ten years later under the name of Fete of Saint Fiacre. The name was changed in 1790 to the Fete of the Loges, and as such it has been reviped. Pil grims visit the spot today to scek. indulgence. The forest fete former- ly drew thousands of Parisians all through the 19th century, and with the building of a railway, the fete gained even greater popularity, CANADA TOPS LIST OFLS.
