In writina to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. It will identify yov 
. . . and the wild strawberries are ripe. 
I saw them in the field back of the 
house.” 
Once in every boy’s life there comes 
a hankering for farm life . . . for 
barns and the scent of hay in a loft, 
and apple trees and hornet nests in 
dark crannies, and a humming bird’s 
rendezvous, near enough to the bloom \ 
of the tiger lily berries, to have a well- 
filled larder. Your boy may never 
have lived on a farm; known the full, 
joyous meaning of it, but this in no 
wise breaks the spell. Perhaps it is 
something handed down to us, from 
our forefathers. Perhaps it is a blood 
inheritance, pre-natal, overwhelming. 
Mother Earth herself gives us the 
yearning. 
There was an ancient stove in an 
ancient kitchen, and Sonnyboy had 
cooked quite a respectable breakfast. 
It was the first real meal he had ever 
prepared and it needed little more tnan 
my ravenous appetite to pay him 
tribute. 
Later on, as the fog lifted, and as 
the valley glittered before us, brought 
into relief by the slow recessional of 
the departing cloud-shadows, church 
spires thrust white arms above the 
maze that was little Milford, and bells, 
sounding much nearer than they were, 
on the tranquil air, reminded us of our 
promise and of the sabbath. 
That newspaper clipping, pasted on 
the dining-room wall, with it’s scrib¬ 
bled reprimand, was not lost upon 
Sonnyboy. 
“Why did someone say THAT, 
Father?” he demanded. 
“Because it’s true, son,” I replied, 
“people are very careless . . . just as 
they are, always, where the bounty of 
Nature is concerned. Nobody ever 
thinks of tomorrow.” 
“It takes a long, long while for a 
tree to grow, doesn’t it?” he mused, 
partly to himself. 
Our nearest neighbor, “Chip” Narst, 
of whom rumors had come to us, an¬ 
swered Sonnyboy’s query the same eve¬ 
ning. We were seated on the porch 
when he came trudging down around 
the big barn, from the deep woods of 
the country we had not explored. 
News travels fast of arrivals in this 
country. They seem to sense it . . • 
catch it from the very air, when the 
wind is right. 
But “Chip” was a study in what the 
mountain country and pure air and 
more or less complete seclusion can 
breed when it takes a notion. He was 
tall, angular, sharp of eye and men¬ 
tally alert. To take him for a “hick” 
was to make a very great mistake in¬ 
deed. “Chip” was the direct descendent 
of aristocratic blood. The only thing 
common about him was his clothes and 
his scraggly, unkept beard. It was 
amusing to watch Sonnyboy’s moods as
