And the more the chair creaked and squeaked the fiercer grew his enjoyment, be- . cause the ehalr seemed to protest with every movement and that . was what Toddy felt like doing prof Ing against everything.

Tim 4 1ht was the most foolish thing they was spouting ? water from his nostrils In great clouds, so that nothing could be , seen very distinctly, but the twins' eyes ' followed the Atlantosaurus as he threw r himself furiously uuon the combatants and proceeded to untwist Dick's long, snaky neck from about Tim. In an ex- -ceedingly short time be had separated . , the two. And then he talked - very , sharply to them, pointing out that to there were other soldiers lots and lots of them. It was funny be hadn't noticed', them before, i And they were soldiers whom be recognised from pictures in his war books at borne tha ; books that gran'pa used to explain to him. "Well, welt "T majo?,"iaia aosldler whom Toddy was sura ; was General ' Stuart, "so this is tha little fellow , you've told us about! A fins little chap . he la, too." :::r: ' t,:;: . "Tes. a sturdy little fellow," admitted General Grant, who stood on the other side of Toddy, puffing away on a cigar. Although some of the uniforms were blue aud others gray. Toddy was sur prised to see bow friendly all the sol diers were. General Lee had just cour teously thanked General Grant for a cl-. gar, and nw they were chatting with the greatest friendship, while Generals Lee and '"Stonewall'' Jackson were laughing with glee over soma especially clever Jest. .

"In fact,"! continued be, "we ' weren't always such bad enemies, even - while we were fighting each other. And . we wished to be friends with the women and children all the time, you know' The other soldiers nodded, and a captain said: j;H..:' A! That reminds me of a 'little story about my own troop. It was rather Important that we should hold a cer tain bridge, ; However, some of our ' good friends here, who were our en emies then, decided they wanted to hold that position, too. Therefore, both Union and Confederate " troops dashed madly for the coveted point. ' each trying to get there ahead of th other. But it could be seen that both troop would probably reach there at the same time;: so, of course, there ' would have to be a fight for It. , W were charging , toward each ether, when a little tot ran out upon the "iroad between us. At ence all firing' ceased, and the parties halted in their tracks - while a trooper removed the little thing to a place of safety. That little Incident so took away all desire : for fighting that both forces with-. : drew, to resume fighting later on." ' The rest applauded when the speaker bad finished, although Toddy observed that when they clapped their bands It made not the slightest sound. Then for 'most an hour Toddy Ha ir tened to stories about the war. some ' of which grandpa had often told him. iH was having the time of his life! . - Th little boy jumped at least a . foot. For some one had grabbed hold , of his arm. Before he could find out Just what had happened he heard a voice saying, impatiently: "Of all things. Master Toddy, that you should come out here to the ceme tery to sleep! Don't you know It was : wrong- to run away!", - Toddy admitted to nursle that fa "sposed be hadn't done- right.

Indeed, the huge waves, topped with foam, 'cow almost met Tim and Dick and their relatives. "Tou see," explained Zoogy to the twins, "'they are the last' of the armored fish. Some of them are over twenty , feet In length. 'Their bodies - are In closed . tn . large bony, plates, and they have long, punishing . Jaws. But those - glgantlo chap behind the fishes are re lated almost as closely to Tim as to the ' fishes. They are the Dlnlcbthys. Some . times tbey flghtLfor Tlmt fcther, times, .they. fight against. him." v;y,!.; i . The conflict was on. ' There seemed to be one vast, writhing tnaas. from which occasionally the head of Dick, or that ' of his cousin, the Atlantosaurus, would shoot up to a great height in the air, quickly to descend again. ; Everywhere ' round about : the waters boiled and surged, until the swells reached Zoogy. "I'm afraid. J children." remarked Zoogy, "that the waves will sweep you . from my back, if we do not seek a quieter resting place." UV ... It was a great sacrifice for Zoogy to go beyond Sight of the battle. As he awam away he sighed heavily. . . "Do you aver fight. Zoogy T , asked Raymond. ' . . . ' ... "Whatl A Jovial Zoos-y like me fight T Oh, dear, no' replied Zoogy. "Why, I haven't fought since the time X ate my brother." ,-; 'a -,-'. "Ate your brother? Why, Zooiry, t aurely you could not have done thatT . gasped Ray, horrified beyond measure. - Two huge teara welled up in Zoogy'a ; eyes, overflowed, and splashed into the sea. He was apparently , much moved at the recollection. , "Yes," sobbed he. "I" really loved Zaggy. But." you aee, he bet that be could eat me, "while I bet I could eat him; so, of course, we had to fight. Otherwise, we never would have fought, I assure you, and I never should have eaten him but for that .friendly little bet." They traveled on - In silence. The twins Imagined Zoogy was still sorrow- Ing over his brother, and they did not ; wish to disturb him in his grief. There fore they were somewhat surprised when Zooiry. with a load laugh, said: . "It WA9 a funny- bet, wasn't it?-An, -my brother was a funny fellow, too. But now that he's gone. I try to be twice as Jovial and comical. You won t tell anybody, will you. if I whisper that I'm taking private funny lessons from the Cuttlefish I'll let you see him If : you like." Ray and Raymond admitted that noth ing would give them greater pleasure than to aee the marveloualy witty Cut tleflslw ' " ' !-" When they were near the shore Zoogy , Miser and Policeman A iA bv himself la a poor, little but lived the old man. his name was Barot, and he was a very miserly fellow, hoarding -his gold -and disliking to spend a single coin. Now,' Barot was a carrier. A rude cart he bad, and a sleepy, old donkey , to draw it From earliest dawn to eventide Barot worked, seeking to -gain as much money aa possible. But when darkness , began to creep upon 1 him the miser never . hung a. lamp upon his cart Not he I That would . cost a great deal for oil! ' : But It .was against the law to drive at nightfall without a 'lamp. So. finally, , th village policeman called v Barot' s attention to this neglect "You are doing wrong, man," said - fee, "not to invest a little money. If ' I see you again without a lantern the .fines I shall have Imposed upon you . will amount to more than what you yould pay for a year's supply of oil." Barot merely shrugged his shoul- - ders and laughed as he responded: "A lantern! I never used one in my life, and you will not be the one to make me. .-: . "We shall see,"; angrily retorted the, policeman. x . The policeman. In high displeasure, resolved to watch for Barot that very - night behind a clump of bushes along the road. - . Night came, ' and Barot prepared to return to his hut ' But he was sua- plclous of the policeman: so before be rad gone far he stopped the - car, un- - bitched the sleepy mule and , forced ' the astonished animal into the cart Then, placing himself between the shafts, he began to draw the- wagon. Every now and then he would shout to the mule, as though encouraging - the. animal on. Thus he approached ' the spot where the policeman lay hidden. "Ah! I have you now!" cried the otu . cer of the law, springing from his' place of concealment "I see you are - without a lamp; you must surely pay a fine tomorrow, and a heavy one, ' v too, for I had warned you." -. . Barot calmly replied: "Since when. -: my friend, has It been the law's cus- torn, to fine a man for not having a , light on a handcart r. comiay near, tne policeman was as- tonished to see Barot pulling tha cart ' With the mule inside.

When It ' came up., there was Mr.-Cuttlefish sit ting gravely upon It. . '. .; -v ' - "Do you feel very, very funny this morning,- Mr. ; Cuttlefish" ' anxiously questioned Zoogy. "Because X have here some friends who would .much appre ciate your rare humor." . . Without a word, the Cuttlefish squlrt ed a stream of water Into Zoogy'a eye; then he disappeared In. the water. ' - "Hal hal ha! ha!" bellowed Zoogy. "Wasn't 'that the funniest thing you j ever saw?, Now. WASN'T ItT It waa much funnier than anything he could f have said.'-- .';',"; f j ,r: ' ' Neither Ray nor Raymond had a very good opinion of the Cuttlefish's humor. ' If that were the best he could do. But ' they didn't say so to Zoogy, lest they ; offend him. ' J ' ."' "Oh, there's a kangaroo on the shore ! exclaimed 'Ray, clapping her bands la ' delight. : UaiV "I dont know what a kangaroo Is.- . responded Zoogy, dubiously, "bull I d, know that ths animal ovsr there is Mrs. , Hoppy Dromatherium." "What's she running away fort 'Oh. X should like so much to Ulk with her!" cried Ray. S-.-.'-y 4 '"s.v,f . "Well, I s'pose" It's' because she saw: rne," admitted Zoogy, -rather shame facedly. ."You see, I happened; to eat Mr. Hoppy and the Uttle . Hopple the other day while they were lying on tha 'beach," . , ' Observing the dismay of both tha twins,- be hastened to add, apologetlo aliy: .,. "I hadn't eaten any breakfast, you " know; and they looked Just too nice for anything. You don't blame me so very much, do youT" Raymond began to think that Zoogy . was a wicked old fellow aa well as a witty one, . So, winking at him, he said: "It's done now, old chap, so we will forgive you that Is, If you will call Mrs. Hoppy back so that we may talk with her." . . . . ..,' -' " ' '- Thereupon Zoogy emitted a nol which was a cross between a scream and a grunt and a bellow. This, he ob served, was to tell Mrs. Hoppy he ' meant no harm to her, believe I shall leave you for a BILLY AND MR, TIB little while with Mrs. Hoppy,' If you don't mind," wheezed Zoogy. "I must confess that I'm feeling rather faint without my luncheon, and I think I'll go back and have two or three Dlnich- vnys.1 'But you won't eat any more of your brothers, will you?" pleaded Ray. Zoogy, in the meantime, had flopped his tall on the beach, in order that the twins might walk right down his back to the shore without going Into the water. And-they ware already on the beach when he replied: "No. I promise you that I won't eat any more of my family,, except one or two' old great-grandmothers and - a' grandfather I don't like." Before either oy or girl could answer, their cannibal friend was far out to sea. - "So you are the two babies that wick ed Zoogy brings 4o' me In place of the darlings the brute swallowed," , whim pered Mrs. Hoppy; rubbing the tears from her eyes with a paw. v. -,- flY- DOLLY 7 mm , A STORE they say you came from, Dolly dear- ; .

And aked you from your, dreaming with a kiss I Ray and Raymond said politely. "Yea, . ma'am," although Raymond - much re sented being called a baby by a creature - who looked to be nothing more than a giant kangaroo, ,- Whereupon the twins had to listen to' the description of the pretty little babies and the handsome Mr. Hoppy who had been eaten. , ' . "Nor, is that all my trouble, dears, continued Mrs. Hoppy In an aggrieved tone; "for a new animal, the terrible Saber-Toothed Cat, has Just come Into this country. .He pursue me almost constantly. It was because the animal la afraid .of water that Mr. Hoppy ; brought me to the beach for a time. . "Out X suppose X might as well be eaten by a cat as to be swallowed by Zoogy, or to die of hunger," the walled.' Suddenly she . turned, every ' muscle strained and a-qulver.: Before the twins -could guess the cause of her terror,' she bad popped themf Into her pouch., and was hopping .'with: all ! possible speed across fhe sand.',' .. - Raymond craned his neck as far. to, one side as he could.

Into an extremely rocky country she came. 'But always the Cat , followed. At last It gathered for a spring. - The twins, gave themselves up for lost, when, Just, at that moment, . they . felt themselves falling rapidly downward. Mrs.-. Hoppy had leaped over the edge of a high cliff!..,'.' Chapter V FAMILY REUNIONS . . . RAT and Raymond awoke, as though from a nap. Bewildered, they ' looked about them. Gone were seas and . marshes and rock. They were upon a grassy plain, broken by forests In the " distance. On the right there towered a great mountain range. - i The twins were .still drinking In the .beauty of the' scenery, when they per ceived a curious sort of pony and a tiny animal that resembled both a 'fox and a ' diminutive colt. - , "I'm Billy Hlpparlon. and this Is ray. great-great-great-grandfather, Mr. Tib Faleotherlum," began the pony, frisk- Ing his heels and tossing his mans: "now, who are your , ; Ray and Raymond Introduced them selves. Then, although they didn't wish ' to be considered rude,' they' couldn't ' 'help gazing closely, at these queer 'ani mals. The larger looked ever so much like a real horse, but be had three toes, and his nose was very pointed. .The smaller creature looked very much like a fox, with its sharp muzzle. It pos sessed four toes. "Won't you come with us?" cordially . i asked Billy. "There Is going to be a series of family reunions in. the forest yonder. But very few . t amiliea can boast ores many 11 v lag ancestors as I possess." .s ... . .'.. Darting the twins a merry glance, he . added, solemnly: -"See how we de scendants have Improved upon the orig inal." "Insufferable conceit!" sniffed Mr. Tib. He went on to say: , ,. ... "You younger coxcombs may be larger In slie, but you're smaller in wisdom. You don't have now the terrible mon- sters with whom I had to contend in my youthful days. Were it not for my cunning, I should not be alive this day." -jjia you ever Know oogy, Mr. 'xiov queried Ray. . - .. .,...

There certainly could be no doubt of that fact. The twins were dazed. "What nonsense you folks' are talk ing,"' Interrupted -'Billy; .."what .do you - PRIN "LIFTED HIGH IN THE- AIR" know about aoogles, or whatever you call thenar - . - - 'Billy now Invited Ray and Raymond to climb upon his back. In order that they reach tha forest more quickly. ; Soon they were moving through the . forest In places the vines, grass and other vegetation were so thick that It was only with the - greatest difficulty that they were able to make a pathway - for themselves. Immense palms grew everywhere. At last they heard a crashing of tree branches before them, , and, a moment later, the twins saw another- group of remarkable animals. One was like a giant elephant. He was much larger, however, and was covered with; hair. This,' ' Billy ' Informed : them, waa the Mastodon, And their surmise that the , other creatures were the Mastodon's an-" eestors proved to be correct. ' Surely Billy must admit that here was a fam ily older than even bis. What a differ ence there was between the glgaatlo Mastodon, and that animal's oddest an cestor, who looked very Ilk -a small tapir or a plfl ..:..;'.'". '' "" Billy greeted the Mastodon? with, the greatest respect, while Mr. Tib speedily became chums with one of the older an cestors, who was . Just about hi own sis. Ray and Raymond chatted with the Mastodon, and liked the big fellow im mensely. "I believe X should feel dlsxy up aa high as your head!" exclaimed Ray. looking In admiration at the massive head and wonderful tusks. .. r i 'i ';-efrjsj .'Y;jftL-n "CAUGHT THE FISH BY THE TJUlf THE Arabs "of upper Egypt tell why aU flatfish are white on one side and brown on th - other.

Once upon a time the heavens caught afire, and the gods were at their wits ends to extinguish the flames. Finally they succeeded in smothering most of the flames.

If you cut a stick, you ' must immediately peel off the bark. -Now take a piece of well oiled cot ton waste and rub your cane thor ' oughly. v -. Twist several whlsps of straw into a ions; spiral, having one end thicker ,: than the other. . Twist the spiral along the entire ' length of the cane, fastening the end - securely at top and bottom. . Then light the straw at the bot- -torn of the cane, holding the stick In -: sn inclined position so that the flame -may run quickly up the spiral. - , . When the straw . Is entirely con- ' PROCESSES SHOWN vv sumed the cane must be rubbed hard' with a woolen rag. You will now have a nicely pol ished cane, with a spiral like a anaks running from top to bottom.
