A Curious Crab.

There are great many kinds OF
crabs, and youhav seen some of them,
no doubt. l do not believe you have
ever seen the one ! am going to tell you
about-the famous Robber or Cocoa
nut Crab. A great crab he is, too, and
walks upon the tips of his toes, foot
high above the ground. tit W
He IS cocoa-nut eater, because
where he lives they are the best things
he can find. But you would not guess
how he gets at the meat in them.
When he finds a fallen cocoa-nut he
begins tearing away the thick husk
and fiber with his strong claws. He
knows very well which end to tear 1t
from, too, the end where the three
eye-holes are, which we call the ''mon-
keys face" Out of one of these the
young cocoa-nut tree would grow.
When he has found 1t he just hammer.
through one of them with the point Of
his heavy claw.
But how do you think he gets the
meat outP He can not put his claw In.
because he has no proboscis, like a
butterfly. But he turns himself round
and puts in a PAIR Of hind pincers,
which are very thin. With them he
scoops the meat out of the cocoa-nut,
and so puts his dinner into his mouth
with his hind feet.
He does not waste the husk either.
He lives in deep burrow, like arab
bit, and likes to sleep softly. So he
lines the burrow with this fiber, picked
clean and fine, just as if he were going
to make cocoa-nut mating of it. After
taking bath every night he sleeps
soundly upon it. He gets so fat in his
old age that he carries about on his
body more than a quart of pure oil =

Teddie dropped the brush with
which he was decorating the goat stall
and sat with Percy under the Manager.
'Ets yum away from mammas and
big sisters that make us do tings we
don't ant to-" said Percy.
"And leave the goatsp" asked Ted
dy, opening his eyes wide with sur.

"E-s" answered Percy, slowly.

Mary for some crackers and ere is lots
of berries on the road. and ell ask the
cooks in the houses for tea, ere won't
be any mammals to say--'Ou must dink
milk, Percy and Teddy'-'e'll dink tea
from bowl like at man yesterday"
BY this time the goats were harnessed,
and the two little boys, with few
crackers in the bottom of the cart,
drove away. The goats trotted along
brlskly. There was a long stretch OF
road without any houses, and no one
missed the little boys, whose mammas
had gone to the city for the day.
Percy and Ted felt very big as they
drove along with their hats on the
backs of their heads. They came to q
lane, and thought they would drive
through it to the end, and stay there
all night-for they had heard their
papas say that tramps did not keep on
the main road. they had not driven
far into the lane when voice called
out: Good afternoon; wait minute"
The boys started with surprise. There
was the very man that drank the bowl
of tea.

ITO Tamford." answered Percy, In q
trembling voice.
''This is not the way" said the man.
"Drive in here to these woods. I'll
show you"
"Let's 60 home, Percy" whispered
Ted; II don't want to run away"
Come" said the man, and he
turned the goats through the bars into
the woods. The boys were too fright
ened to speak. After taking the boys
some distance into the woods, he told
them to get out of the wagon. He
then embarrassed the goats. and, with
out speaking. led them deeper in the
woods by rope.
Ted's and Percy's mammas and
papas were driving up from the boat
in the early dusk when Ted's mamma
called out: "Why, that looks like Trot
and Frisk." as two goats were led by
the wagon.
At the sound of their names both
goats answered by prolonged cry
Ba-a. Ted's papa sprang out of the
carriage, the man dropped the rope
with which the goats were tied, and
ran away with all his might. The
goats were tied to the back axle of the
carriage and they all started for home.
Great was the surprise and terror when
it was found that the boys, the car.
riage and harness were gone.
A vigorous search showed which way
the wagon was driven. The tracks
were closely followed, and the two lit
tie boys. very frightened and tired, an
swered to the calls given by the search
ers.
Ted and Percy decided that mammas
knew better than little boys what wal
best for them They stayed two months
longer in the country, but the goats
were fastened in the stalls with pad
locked chains, and the harness hung in
a locked closet Ted and Percy wert
