IN EARTH's EARLY AGES
BIRDS WERE SNAKES.

At first sight birds and lizards seem
to be about as far apart as any two
races of living creatures could well be.
rectly from reptiles. and the differences
between them are far less than those
between any other two of the great
families.
Finding that there was a plentiful
supply Of food in the air in the shape Of
reptiles OF the earth's early ages grad
ually developed wings in order to feed
on it. There was thus evolved a flying
lizard, the remains of which are often
found fossilized and which we call the
pterodactyl. It's wings were batlike
those of bird. The creatures scales
gradually turned to feathers, and the
bird of the present age was the result

lillian bird the touraco. or gypsy. Tho
touraco Is about the size Of a pheasant
and outwardly has birdlike appear

economy Is found to be quite unlike
that of other birds and to strongly re- e
semble that Of certain reptiles. The
most extraordinary point about the
touraco is, however, that its young

claws upon their wings. They do not

crawl about on all tours, just as young
reptiles do. They can use their wing
claws for climbing up branch. A mes

once like frog. and It is almost irn+
possible to catch It. Even the grown
birds do not fly well, and, altogether,
the touraco offers plain proof Of the
near relationship between birds and

Queer way Of Telling Time.

In Malay the natives keep record of
time in the following way: Floating in
a bucket filled with water they place
a coacoanut shell having a small perfo-
ration. through which by slow degrees
the water finds its way inside This
opening is so proportioned that it takes
just one hour for the shell to fill and
sink. Then a Waterman calls out, the
shell is emptied, and the process is be-
gun again.

Just now an seed i'm settin' at the

With his heart in his mouth. Hillyer
went up the stairs. sliding his hand on
the banister railing. George turned his
head as he entered the open door, and
rose quickly, as II ashamed to be seen
there without reason for 1t.
George. what's the matter with you?
Amt you we'll this mornin'Y the old

Not very, Mr.. Hillyer." George said,
dropping his eyes, "but I'll feel better

resting on the troubled face before him.
"Some'n' has gone wrong, George, an

Do you know what ia the hardest thing

that had taken place between him and

HE said that to your cried the old
man. Yes, know what 1t would
mean to proud sperit like yore'n. my
boy, an it's simply awful-awful! He's
a cowardly dog. but that don't make
you feel any better. Men in the northern
states don't understand how we kin
feel as we do on that line, but it's bred

Hillyer suddenly turned from the
room and went downstairs. His wife
heard him going out at the gate and

| called to him from the veYanda, but he
walked on without needing her. Al
the street corner he quickened his step
going faster and faster till he reached
the warehouse. He saw Kenner and
Hanks in the ONCE, but he passed on
to Georges room in the rear. There on
the table lay Buckley's revolver
Thrusting 1t into the pocket of his
short coat he hurried out at the side
door and went up the railroad to the
Johnston House. Going into the Office
he approached the desk and asked the
clerk for Governor Telfare.
HE left on the s o'clock train this
morning, Mr. Hillyer." said the clerk.
HE had us call him at T."
Gomez" The old man stared blank
~.
"Yes, he got off, but he'll be back
next Sunday. He engaged the best
room in the house and gave orders that
1t was not to be used by any one else. "
"Gone!" Hillyer turned and started
away aimlessly. In the hall leading to
the street he was met by Bascom
Truftt, who stopped him.
Say, old man, what's the matter?
Sick?" Hillyer stared at him, but made
no reply. Look y here, what ails you
anyway" The old soldier placed his
hand on the merchants shoulder and
turned him into vacant room on the
side Of the hall, a room used by COM
mercial travellers for displaying their
wares to the village storekeepers.
Hillyer sank into chair and groaned.
Truitt heard some enc passing In the
hall and closed the door.
II know some'n's wrong" he said.
"Some'n's wrong when deacon In the
church an man O. yore stamp goes
round white as grave rock with
A caliber gun in his pocket an his
teeth chatterin' on as warm day as
this is"
Hillyer told him what had happened
to George and his own failure to meet
Telfare. He told It in an unsteady
voice, his lips quivering as he spoke.
Then, with his head down, he added:
BIAS, you know I split human blood
thirty year ago. I've prayed all them
years to git God to blot out the crime,
an yet after all that, IL I'd "a met

"a shot I'm dead In his tracks. l was
all upset about 1t. oh, my God. I'm
as bad as I was away back when was
young an hot bloodedy'
Truitt shrugged his shoulders Then
I reckon It's better fer all concerned
that Telfare went OF when he did.
Now, look here. old man." Truitt bent
and took the revolver from Hillyer
and put 1t into his own pocket. ''Yo're
united to run round with
loaded gun in yore pocket. You take
my advice an go back to yore store.
