CRUDELY printed in pencil on a
piece of dirty brown paper, and
stuck there with a sailor's rusty
knife, was this message. And well
they knew what it meant. The girl
they had sought for days and believed
to be lost now they knew her to be
worse than lost.
Calypso, with her pure, olive skin and black,
silken hair Calypso, tha beautiful Spanish
girl who had masked as a boy and begged
to be allowed to go with the rest on their
perilous journey
Should he give up the treasure that he and
his party some of whom had paid the su
preme price had fought and repeatedly
risked their lives for ; should he give up this
wealth of gold and jewels for the girl he
adored, or trust to mercy of his enemies
for her safety?

ART AND SCIENCE IN TOYS
Playthings for the Kiddles Necessary
to the Proper Conduct of
! Their Society.
T7I1II.K the making of toys li an
. V V art that Is probably practically
as old as the world Itself, It has been
i only within recent years Hint science
i has bothered Itself about them. Less
j Hum half a century ago they were re
garded menty as playthings auius-
Ing diversions for children that were
by no means necessary to their well
lining. Today, however, icience Insist!
Unit there Is a well-defined philosophy
underlying the use of toys; that they
are the tools with which the little ones
ply tlielr trade; the paraphernalia nec
essary to Hie proper conduct of their
society; that dolls, for example, are
nyore to them than the associates that
help to entertain them In that they
aid them In the attainment of their
mental growth by stimulating tlie
natural emotions which must be ex
perienced In later life.
Whether this theory of the scientists
fs correct or not, the fact remains that ,
children have always had the play
things requisite for tlielr Imitations of !
the domestic life and business affairs 1
of older people; that they hnve always
required their elders to provide them
with such Inventions, and that, when
they could not obtain these toys by
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made to suit their purposes. Even
the somnolent middle Ages did not put
an end to their pastimes. The toys In
which they found diversion may have
been more simple, but, as they met
the demands of nature, tliey played
tlielr allotted pnrt In the scheme of
human development. Public Opinion
