There was a

"Name it,” said Willie, shortly.
“ Something like— like—bear meat.”
“ We ain’t got no bear.’’

looked chagrined.
“ This ain’t their habitat,” added
Stover apologetically.
‘‘Well, he ought to have meat, and
it ought to be wild—raw, If possible.”
“Their ain’t nothin’ wilder ’n a long

"Fine! We’ll save him yet!"
"W e’ll get the grub."
"And he’ll eat it!” Willie nodded
firmly.

“Of course, he’ll have to eat out
here; they spoil him up at the house."
“ Sure thing!"
"I'd hate to see him lose; It would
be a terrible blow to Miss Blake."
Fresno shook his head doubtfully.
"What about us?”
"Oh, you can stand It—but she’s a

“ I hope nothing occurs between now

faintly.

I dearly love to see him get up early

Helen, displaying the traces of her
occupation upon her hands, arms, and

blue apron tied at her throat and
waist, felt that he himself was aa

"If I were a cake I would rise at

“The cook said it wouldn’t be lit to

"I should love to eat your cooking."

Mrs. Keap turned her eyes anxiously
toward the training-quarters, and It
was patent that she had not counted
upon this encounter. Noting her lack
of ease, Fresno said hopefully;
“If you are going for a walk, I’ll
sing for you at some other time."

Inexperience, but his good father took
him Into his office to initiate him Into
the mysteries of business.
The second day he was at work a
man came ln asking for financial aid,
with a pathetic story about a sick
wife at home and six helplessly small

the son tragically. "The other two
probably died of starvation."

by the Andaman islanders. The na
tives actually drop the bodies of their
parents Into the sea at the end of
ropes and leave them there until noth
ing remains but the bones, which they
gather and hang from the roofs of
their huts.
It Is a common custom for a man to
sit by the house and watch the bonee
of some relative. This is the way they
have of showing their love and rw

The bodies are treated tn this fash

tease and pinch them. All that la
left are the dried bones, and thaaa

spirits wander Into the huts they will
have a hard time to find them. If a

bad spirit has seized It, and this Indi
cates that some terrible calamity will
befall the family.
