hogs, that ranged the island, had left
camp and started out after them. 1t
was great fun for awhile, for L fell in
with a herd of about a dozen and had
secured two of the "varmints" when
the survivors, seeming to think that
turn about is fair play" began hunt
ing me. Then the situation assumed
different aspect entirely, for the pee
cary when aroused is one of the most
bloodthirsty of creatures and as re-
vengeful as an Indian. Fortunately
for me, great gum tree stood conyen-
iently near, and by means of the lianas
that swung from its branches 1 was
soon safe from harm and looking calm
ly down upon the little black beasts as
they ragged around the trunk. But q
peccary, as is we'll known, can enter
tain only one idea at Il time, and the
idea that possessed the shallow brains
of my friends below was how to effect
my destruction. After roofing around
awhile they all sat down in an attitude
of expectation and patiently waited for
me to descend. And they would sit
there, felt sure, knowing peccary ma
ture as did, until they starved me to
death rather than allow me to escape.
1 had only a few rounds of ammuni-
ton suited to their needs, but killed
three more before it was exhausted
and peppered the hides of several 9th
ers so that if they ever had entertained
the idea of leaving they abandoned it
entirely. 1 had not Il morsel of food
about me. The limbs 1 sat astride of
were not so soft as they might have
been if they had been made TO order,
and L was getting uncomfortable when
l noticed a cOmmotiOn in the herd.
The leader of the band, grisIy old
tusker with recurved fangs like Turk
ish scimiters, suddenly stood up and
shifted the air; then he uttered Il
''whoof' of rage and despair, struck
2:10 gait and disappeared in the jungle,
followed by all the survivors. 1 was
saved by black man and Il dog.
1t may or may not be true that the
peccary has as intense a dislike for
the black man as he has for dog,
but anyway the combination proved
effective in this instance. The man
who appeared at this juncture was the

Trinidad, on the north point of the
mouth of the river Orinoco."
Trinidad, as everybody knows, is off
the north coast of South America and
is one of the finest British possessions
in the West Indies. The only other is
land which fully answers the descrip-
ton given by Crusoe in relation of To-
cation to Trinidad is that of Tobago,
from which Sir Walter Raleigh prob
ably derived the name of the weed"
we call tobacco.

Crusoe's island, and in order to prove
it went down there on a hunting and

CHRISTMAS REMNANTS.
Ways of Serving the Portions OF
Turkey Left From the Feast.

Ways of Serving the Portions of
Turkey Left From the Feast.
After your Christmas dinner you will
probably find that you have a goodly
portion of turkey left. This has hap
pened a great many times before, and
as a result many ways have been de-
vised for preparing these left over
scraps of turkey meat. This does not
mean the large white slices of the
breast, for this portion of the meat can
be simply arranged on a platter and
eaten as it is.
A salad of the white meat of turkey
is as good as if not better than chicken
salad. Take one cup of turkey meat,
rather coarsely chopped; one cup of
celery, also rather coarsely chopped;
the whites of three hard boiled eggs,
also chopped. Put the yolks of the
hard boiled eggs into bowl and
mash and then pour over them three
tablespoonfuls of melted butter or pure
olive oil. Into this put one teaspoon
full of salt and one of mustard, with a
dash of red pepper; then thin with half
a cup of good vinegar.
Another way to use. the white meat
of turkey is to chop it fine, then put
a spoonful of cranberry sauce that has
been run through n colander in the
bottom of q mold or small bowl, on this
layer of chopped turkey, then lay
er of cranberry, and so on till the mold
Is full. Press hard and put in a cold
place till ready to use; then turn out
on platter.
Turkey Croquettes--Take one cup
Of turkey meat, chopped fine; one cup
Of bread crumbs, one spoonful of but
ter and two of cream; season with salt
and pepper: mold into little fancy
shaped cakes and fry.
Turkey patties are made exactly as
are chicken patties. To one cup Of
turkey take one cup OF turkey gravy
or one cup of water made rich by a
generous lump of butter; season and
thickeu with a little -four; pour into
pastry shells and bake fn a quick oven.

Crusoe's island.

~OMEHOW she looked out Of place
- among the gay throng of Christ
mas travellers that enlivened the
duh waiting room. Whenever
the station masters stentOrian voice
rang through the room she started
tensely, only to settle back stiff and
alert, as before.
She was small and slightly bent. Her
decent black dress, though far from the
latest cut, had Il nattiness of its own.
She had probably passed twoscore and
ten, yet there was a yOuthfulness about
her that had defied hard work and
trouble and sorrow. 1 felt sure that
she had experienced all three. At last
she glanced shyly in my direction.
Its tireSOme waiting, is it nOt?" l
ventured.
"Oh, no! It's all so new and strange
to me, and then I've only an hour to
wait" Her voice, like herself had a
pleasant alertness.
Perhaps you're unaccustomed to
travelling l suggested tentatively.
'"This morning is the second time
since 1 was ten years old that I've
been on train of cars" she answered,
with suggestive accuracy. Il didn't
used to mind staying at home, but the
longing to go somewhere has seemed
to grow on me. Why, one time 1 even
thought of setting in the milk train that
makes up at our station. it backs up
and switches round for bout an hour,
so 1 could imagine I'd started for no.

as hoping a cinder ID blow in my eye,
like when 1 was little girl and went
to the city with father. It's mercy

have thought 1 was getting in my do

asked anxiously Il don't know when

ing that home cares had doubtless pre-
vented her getting away.
How did you know?" she said, with
a birdlike turn of the head. why,
was only eleven when began making
bread and pies. 1 was the only child,
you see, and mother began to be lame
then. She kept right on growing worse
and worse till finally her joints all
stiffened up, just like the bones be-

was an entity called 'Crusoe' in the
flesh. But. whether he ever existed or
not, that is where De Foe placed his
hero when he had him wrecked on the
coast of his island. To quote the
words of Crusoe himself, just before it
happened. 1.-The master made an OBJ
servation as we'll as he could and found
that he was in about II degrees of
north latitude, so that we were gotten
beyond the coast of Guiana and beyond
the river Amazones, toward the Orino-
co, commonly called the Great river"
Now, that would be evidence sQff1-
cient for any sailor, but let Crusoe fur

his narrative, when he first circum-
navigates his island kingdom: The

chine was great. why he says, turn
ing to me, you'll let me get out pat
ent on it, won't you? 'Oh, yes says L,
get out all the patents you want to
and welcome So he had a photo
graph took of It, Afterward l felt real
kind of sorry let him do it, ne was so
young and green looking.
''Well, you can see, what with moth
er helpless and father patenting, there
wasn't much chance for me to get
away, but 1 always had hankering
TO see Niagara falls. It's d sight once
seen stays by, they say. When our
money was more plenty 1 laid out to
go number of times, but something
or other always turned up to prevent.
The first time father was took with a
crick in his back. The next time the
daughter of the woman who was COM
ing to take care of mother had her leg
broke in runaway. Once everything
seemed moving favorably. Clarissy
Stringham had come to take care Of
mother. l had my ticket there and
back, and even my lunch was put up,
for 1 was to start at in the morning.
THAT night there come up the worst
thunderstorm you ever see and wash
ed out the track on our branch, so the
trains couldn't run for two days.
Eyes, mother died a little more than
a year ago. just a year and three
months after father. 1 was so thank
full she went before me. You see, she
had been sick so long, and then she
was naturally pretty high spirited (she
said I'd just let folks run right over
mel, so she used to speak out pretty
sharp, and sometimes twas awful
hard to please her, but never minded,
for l knew she meant all right. Oh,
you don't know how lost was after
she was gone. Why, there hasn't been
a night sence 1 don't wake up bout
the hour she used to ask me TO pull her
a little to one side or lower the cushion
under her knees or do something to
make her easier. Sometimes / find my
self setting right up in bed, thinking
certain she's calling me-"
She was unable to go on for mo-
ment, and though I'm called easy in
conversation could think of no COM
forting word.
and I'm so thankful" she contin-
ued, regaining her self control, 1.-The
money held out till she was gone. I've
had to let the place go. Last week
after everything was settled up 1 had
just $25 left. Through it all every
body's been just as good to me as they
could be. L often wonder why, for
I've never had time to do anything for
them. Well, had plans all laid to go
to work for Mrs. Jennings at a dollar
a week when one eyening-it was just
a week ago-I was setting alone feeling
pretty blue and thinking 'twasn't likely

Smoking the Christmas Fool.

In some parts of England the custom
Is said still to continue. two days after
old Christmas day, of smoking the
fooP'-that is, pile of straw being col
lected and set alight. the fool is hung
over it by a rope around his waist and
swung backward and forward till he
is nearly dead. Then he goes around
with his cap and collects what the
spectators think proper to give" as the
chroniclers express it. In these enter
prising days. when almost any game is
worked that can, induce any one to
give anything. 1t seems strange that no
one has imported this custom, for it
must be a successful one.
