He's a Queer Little African Animal Whom
the Natives Fear.
The gecko is an odd little creature. His
name is seldom heard and his form is sell
dom seen, for he lives in warmer coun-
tries than this. His home is in Africa and
the southern countries of Europe.
This little gccko has so many strange
little ways and there is something so un-
canny in his appearance that the people
of the countries where he lives are rather
afraid Of him, believing his bite to be
poisonous, although this is denied by nat
uralists.
He is little creature with broad, flat
head like snake and long body, with
a narrow tail. with odd-shaped bits of
skin arranged like scallops along the sides
of it. He has short legs and queer cat

climb the old walls and rocks upon which
he lives, catching the insects of various
sorts which make his dinner
He is a nocturnal animal, walking

A Dog that Will Not be Beaten Again

In the current number OF The Animals
Friend. the Marquis of Londonderry's on
~ daughter, Lady Helen Stewart relates
the following story: "A friend of mine has
z .wiry-haircd fox terrier. of which he and
his family are very fond. She was bought
on Newmarket Heath when quite small
puppy, and from having always lived in
the house had become very companiOnable
and trustworthy. About two months ago
my friend, who is n farmer, was attending
to a number of chickens at his farm.
Finding one Of them rather delicate and
alling, he wrapped it in a piece of flannel
and placed it for warmth inside the kitch-
ell fender. He then went to his work,
leaving the terrier curled up in her basket
under the table. On his return he went
straight to the kitchen, but found the fan
mel empty in the fender. Having interro-
gated the maid. who declared that no one
had been there, he Immediately concluded
tina the terrier had eaten the pullet and
proceeded to beat her. Poor Randy re-
tired, crestfallen, to her basket, and soon
after the farmer went to bed. Next
morning, rs he entered the kitchen, he was
surprised to hear a faint cluck quite near
him. He searched all round the room,
and finally in the dogs basket, where he
found the missing chick, comfortably ~
ing beside the fox terrier. Randy had
evidently thought that when the fire went
out the chick would be cold, so he had
lifted it out of the fender into her own
basket and had lain beside it all night to
keep it warm. 1t is rather sad to think
that her sagacity had been misunderstood,
and that beating was the only reward
she received for her Kindness"
