At a certain signal .all muat leave

to drink. While her baby was satisfy
ing Us thlrat the Door mother oulvarad
all over with excitement, for she was '
oniy a tew yaras rrom ths balcony,
on which, watching her, was ona of ber
greatest foes.
The little on bavins' nuenehed Its
thlrat, It was replaced In the pouch,
and th old kangaroo started off at a
rapid pace, not waiting herself to take
S drink. When th natural timidity of
the kangaroo is remembered. It must be
admitted that the affectionate mother
exhibited satonlahlng bravery. ' So aft
