Ihe Children s
BOOK WORLD
By Mrs. Blanche Rivers
A change of scene is often the i !
prescribed cure for many e-nm- j ;
tional upsets. Not all of us can ,
go adventuring, in reality, but .
fortunately this is made possible
through books.
;
MRS BLANCHE S. RIVERS
1 have just returned from a j
glorious exploration, of several |
hundred books for children. For
toe next; few weeks this column
will lend itself directly to brief
discussions of some of my most
interesting findings:
This most emotional pass
age was taken from .Jack O'-
brien’s heroic adventure, sil
ver Chief, (dog of the north);
They wore waiting to try tie .r
old trick of snatching food faun
ihe sledge dogs. One of the in* i
chans, moving abotn with
that were feeding the huskies, 1
drew away from the n-t end
faced the two dogs. Yi-c pup
watched him closely—distrustful
as ever of man but not alarmed,
since he and his mo leer were
some distance from th ■ camp.
He noticed that the Indian hi.la
a long, shiny, club-like " " : in
his hands, that he was ' "■
bringing this to Iris shoulder There
was a sharp crack that reechoed
through t’ne forest and a bright
flash of light spurted from the
end of the shiny barrel There
came a gasping cry from Dec.
She leaped and half turned in the
air, tumbled in a heap be.;
him and lay very still- He sniffed
and found that she was growing:
cold and a dark stain was color
ing the snow. It was blood Four
assailed him and the fur along
bis neck bristled. He turned to
ward the Indian .The shiny bar- ;
rel was being raised again. Then
the dog leaped just as another
crack split the silence.
Ho raced like the wind for the ;
protection of the forest Terror
seized him, the terror that all
living things know when faced
by that which they cannot under- ;
stand. One minute Dee had bei n
warm and alive be-udn him and
in the next she was dead, Why?
