Blacky Watches a Queer Performance , :
ter. "Tea, sir, that la what be waa doing:,
catterlnc nic Tallow - torn imoat the
rush and wild rice in tne water 1
"That's a queer performance, mut
tered Blacky as ha watched. "What Is
ha throwing- perfectly good corn out in
th water for? Ha Isn't planting- It, for
this Isn't planting- season. .Besides, it
wouldn't grow In the water anyway. It
is a shame to waste nice corn ilka that.
What la ha doing- It for?"
BLACKT THE CROW may be right.
"Again, he. may pot be. If he la right,
it will account for a lot of the aneer peo
ple In the) world. They are not under
rood and so they are queer. At least
rat la what other people aay, and never
once think that perhaps they are the
Queer ones for not understanding.
But Blacky Isn't like those people who
are aattstied not to understand and to
think other people and things oueer. Me
does hla best to understand, lie waits
and watches and usee those sharp eyes
of hla and those quick wits of hla until
' at laat usually ha doea understand.
The day of his discovery of Old Mother
Nature's signs that the coming winter
would be long, hard and cold Blacky
paid a visit to the Big River. Long ago
be discovered that many things are to
be seen on or beside the Big River,
things not to be seen elsewhere. So
there are few days In which he does not
get over there.
Aa h drew near the Big River ha
is verr watchful and careful, waa
Blacky, for this was the season when
hunters with terrible guns were abroad
and he had discovered that they were
likely to be hiding along the Big River
hoping to shoot Mr. or Mrs. Quack or
some of their relative, go he waa very
watchful aa he drew near the Big River,
for he had learned that It waa danger,
eua to pass too near a hunter with a
terrible , run. More than once he had
been shot at But he had learned by
these experiences. Oh, yes. Blacky had
learned. Tor one thing, he had learned
to know a gun when he saw It For an
Ather thing, he had learned Juat bow
far away one of those dreadful guns
could hart the one It was pointed at and
eJwaya to keep juat a little farther away.
Also he had learned that a man or boy
without a terrible gun waa quite harm
less. And be had learned that banters
with terrible runs are tricky and some
times hide from those they seek to kill,
o that In the dreadful hunting aeaaon
it la beet to look sharply before ap
proaching any place.
On this afternoon aa he drew near the
Big River he saw a man who seemed to
be very busy on the shore of the Big
River at a place where wild rice and
rushes grew for some distance) out into
the water, for Just there It waa shallow
far out from the shore. Blacky looked
sharply for a terrible run but the man
had none with hlra and therefore waa
not to be feared. Blacky boldly drew
near unto he was able to see what the
man waa doing.
Then Biscay's eyes stretched their
widest and he almost cawed right out
witn surprise. The man waa taking yel
iow corn ironr a nag. a nanoTul at a
time, and throwing It Out into the we-

"Tbat'a a queer performance," mut
tered Blacky aa he watched.
Blacky flew over to a tree some dis
tance away and alighted In the top of
it to watcn that queer performance. You
know. Blacky has very keen eyea and he
can see a long -distance. For a while
the man continued to scatter corn and
Blacky continued to wonder what he
was doing it for. At last the man went
away ia a boat Blacky watched-nntll
be waa out of sight - Then ha spread his
winga and slowly flew back and forth
Just above the rushes and wild rice at
u piece wnere the man had been
scattering the corn. He could tea fSme

Presently he saw something else I "Ha r
exclaimed Blacky.

By Harry L. Boa-era
Washington, Nov. 12. (I. N. S.) With
her fate in the balance. China'a i,n.
tion entered the conference here today
with dissension In Ita ranks, unable to
agree upon a plan for prosecuting the
ugni to preserve her national sov
ereignty and territorial integrity.
Not only is the so-called Republic of
South China unrepresented, but It la
stated on high authority that the North
China representatives making up the
delegation are divided among themselves
and the delegation) is without a respon
sible head with authority to direct ita
policies.
This situation took an important turn
today when It became known that Dr;
Alfred Sxe. Chinese minister to the
United States, and one of the three
senior delegates, had despatched an
emissary to Peking with detailed In
structions and a private code for com
munlcatine with Sae.
