with surprising rapidity. There were no
heavy rains TO drown the young and the
extreme heat caused by them 10 grow
rapidly. The old rabbits in many cases
produced three and four filters. each
brood numbering from six TO eight
healthy young rabbits.
The disappearance Of the coyote is an
other factor connected with the present
plight Of the farmer. The coyote proved
upon jack rabbits. But there was a boun-

animals were the enemies of the sheep
owners So coyotes have been thiuued

Their LonG sensou OF Darkness.
A member Of one of tie former expedi-

There was time. they say, Tong
generations ago. when the sun never set
on the regions Of the north and when the
strands along the sea were forever hidden
with mautles of living green.
Hence II was that peace and plenty

q strange hing came to pass. As the
people were resting and Teasing among
the trees, as was their custom throughout
their wakeful hours. beautiful canoe as
white as ivory. WIS seen drifting silently
toward the shore from the direction Of
the cnstle where dwet the spirit OF the
winds.
Now. when the ivory white canoe had
ionted quite up To the shore. q great awe
fell upon tho people. for there. fast asleep
among the folds OF an ermine robe, lay a
beautiful maiden. whose skin was az fair
as the STOW flower and whose hair was
like mantle OF Sunshine. But when the
chief had borne the maiden to tie shore
unu questioned her whence she came he
was troubled In bis heart, for she had an
swered him
J nm Della. the daughter OF the spirit
Of tho winds. and have drifted here
from yondcr STOW white castle in the
north. Bnt will return there no more
Henceforth my home shall be with you
and your people
And Immediately the spirit of the
winds nrese in the north and in terrible
voice commanded that his daughter be re-
stored To him i,nuediatelr But when
the people Of the tribe sought out their
chief End corDseled him to give the prin.
cess into her fnther's hands the youth

ence to gesture. they entered his ruined
house and there on couch lay the beau

When the spirit Of the winds looked
forth and beheld the princess cold in
death on the desolate strand, his anger
was yet more terrible against the kneel-

for the space of many days before the Of
