donkey, besides being far handsomer.
A baby zebra is a very rare sight in
captivity. though travellers among the
tablelands and mountains of the south
ern half of Africa used to see little
ones trotting beside their mothers in
the wild herds that were frequent be-
fore the country was settled by civil

as a hundred animals in one of these
herds. and they presented a beautiful
appearance. When alarmed by the
sight OF party of travellers they stood

gers. Holding their heads nobly erect.

striped coats, they were indeed worth

a week later when the gray suit came
home he did full homage to her taste.
Never had he had anything that suited
MIN SO well, and the alpine hat top
ped him off just as she had said. He
caught himself ardently wishing that
she could see him and set upon him the
seal of her approval with one of those
flashing smiles he had watched play
about her fine lips. And. realizing what
he was wishing, he blushed at his van
ity and daring, and, having argued that
it was neither wise nor proper for him
to think so often OF her, he set to work
to forget the litheness of her move
ments and the exact tint of gold in her
hair.
Before the suit was q fortnight OLD
Mrs. German gave her long remember

to meet Nellie Penton and shall expect
you to take her off my hands for the

The blood was racing through Earls

moment an announcement Of his iden-
tity seemed more imperative and al the
same time more impossible. He could
imagine her confusion II she now dis
covered her mistake. He had waited
too long; there was nothing to do but
keep up the deception and trust to fate.
So he sat quite still while she babbled
on for a few moments about the inter

ear softly and ran away Earl relieved

Unless caught very young. Il is almost
impossible TO tame or train them. Men
have sometimes lost their lives in the
attempt. for the zebra is n fighter when
ccrnered. There are regions in q very
fertile section OF Africa where horses
cannot live. An attempt has been made
to train zebras for cavalry and coach
service in these places. but il has not
been as yet very successful. Mr. Zee

JAPANESE BIRTHDAYS.

Japan is the land of topsy turvy. and
so perhaps it is only TO be expected that
individual birthdays, with the exception
of that of the emperor, are not taken
any notice of. but sort of general
birthday Of everybody altogether is
celebrated with great rejoicing.
There are two of these general birth
days, one for each sex. The male birth
day which is known as the celebration
of the boys" occurs on the third day
Of the third month. and the "eelebra-
ton of the girls" takes place on the
fifth day OF the fifth month. These
days are general holidays FOR the
young. All studies and work generally
are put aside. and boys and girls re-
spectively receive presents according 10
their station.
The birthday OF the emperor. or
ten-o as he is more properly styled. is
also a general holiday FOR the japanese
everywhere. The houses are all deco
rated with flags. and in the evening the
streets are gay with the lights Of innu-
merable colored lanterns. IN the NOM
ing the highest authorities go 20 the
palace 70 offer their congratulations in
person. and the lower degrees offer
them TO their superiors. ali the Japa-
nese somehow or other congratulate
their monarch or having added another

; How Earl Hat*gis s sHzsHsnT
!: a"--=s= :.:-.- Kennedy Went A>shopping


he seemed TO hear that clear voice say
ing, Jack win look lovely in this shirt,
just lovely" How nice it must be to
have 4 pretty woman say that about
one! And he put his own name in
place Of Jacks and tried to imagine
how her voice would sound in pronounc-
ing it. That night his dreams were a
checkered conglomeration of blue and
lilac shirts trimmed in impossible chif-
fons and short sleeves. In the morning
he told himself he was a fool and went
soberly to his ledger
But a week later prodded by very
shabby reflection in his glass, he once
more sought the tailor's shop and. to
his surprise, found the same two young
women before the counter.
I simply could not stand Jack in his
Old suit another day; so I am selecting
him a new one, Mollie. This gray is
very soft and will make up beautifully
That brown? No. I do not care for a
dark man in brown. 1t kills his color

I shall take this
she laid the sample down and went to
look at some hats. Earl, unnoticed,
picked up the bit of cloth and fixed the
quality and shade in his mind. Was he
not dark man? And if gray suited
Jack it would suit him also. While he
was talking to the clerk he heard the
clear voice that haunted his dreams SO
often of late saying:
Not that wide brim, Mollie. A tall
fellow like Jack would look childish in
that. This straw alpine is the very
thing. Jacks square, cut off shoulders
will look like those of Hercules topped
off with this"
Lifting his eyes to a nearby mirror
Earl saw without turning his head the
hat she had chosen. Certainly Jacks
shoulders could not be any squarer
than his own. He, too, would have an
rescued him from doubt. 1t really
seemed a shame, almost a theft, for
him TO use her taste and judgment thus
without her knowledge, but it was so
much easier than thinking out things
for himself, and it could make no diff
ference to her, for she would never
know SO he gave his order and then
went outside and stood smoking until
the two women emerged from the door,
and he saw plainly the face of his I'M
known and unknowing mentor and he
told himself for the twentieth time

turning his broad shoulders first one
way and then another to occupy less
space came at last 10 the cabin door
and entered simultaneously with two
other late guests. At the far end OF the
saloon hung q huge mirror, and as the
three newcomers cleared themselves
from the outgoing crowd and stepped
forward they involuntarily lifted their
eyes to this mirror and then suddenly
stopped, for the reflection showed a

With a quick motion. the girl put her
hand to her eyes as if TO clear them

again at the mirror the same reflection
was there: on either side OF her was a

and her companion stared stupidity. but
Earl flushed hotly. IT was as if he had

goods upon him. In the fash of time

travel over him questioningly. accus-
ingly. Then, bareheaded. he strobe
across the floor to where the hostess
stood surrounded by her guests.
My dear Earl" she cooed softly. II
am so glad to see you! AS soon as /
am at leisure Will hunt up Nellie Pen
ton and introduce you
But Earl as soon as possible slipped
away in the crowd. He knew he was a
fool but the thought of spending those
moonlit hours with the homely Nellie
and this other woman within reach was
intolerable. If he could only talk to the
latter for a few moments out there in
the starlight by the rail how delightful
il would be, But he sternly forbade
himself to seek so much as an introduce
tion to her. He knew his duty to the
proprietieS, and there was no use in
running his neck or his heart into a
metaphorical moose. So after chatting
with some chance acquaintance he
found a quiet nook on the pilot deck
and sat smoking and watching the
stars reflected in the water. dreaming
an idle dream of what might have
been"
But presently he was aware that some
one stood behind his chair. A hand fell
on his shoulder, and then a clear voice
said softly:

been recently reminded by his landlady
that his shirts were getting low" On
the Counters were a vast array of gar
ments in all sizes and colors. 1t seemed
q hopeless task to decide among SUCH a
bewildering assortment Of blues and
pinks and lilacs and stripes and dots,
and Earl found himself inwardly up

man race the necessity for anything be-
yond nature unadorned." He was just
making up his mind to tell the sleek
clerk to put him up ANY old thing"
when q sweet feminine voice from some
where near his elbow asked another
clerk to show her the shirts. Surprised
TO find a woman in a tailor shop, Earl
glanced up from the red and black mon
strcsity he was examining and saw a
slender and particularly pretty young
woman beside him. In fact, there were
two women. but he did not glance a
second time at the elderly one.

was saying to her companion. so buy
all his things. 1t is as much as 1 can
do to drag him in here to be measured
for new suit. All, is not this blue
shirt a beauty?' She lifted one of the
garments Earl had rejected. and in
stantly it seemed the most desirable
one in the lot. Down into the hetero-
geneous mass she plunged and drew out
garment after garment, holding them
up for inspection, rejecting or retain
ing them, and talking gayly all the
while

are greatly to be pitied. Think of hav-
