Hermit Crabs in Fierce Fight After

A writer in British periodical de-
scribes an encounter he say in
large aquarium at Brighton. He was
watching some young herrings swim
ming about close to the bottom of the
tank, when the claw of a hermit crab
suddenly shot out and caught one.
The capture had, however. been seen
by another hermit crab, which at once
claimed share, and most amusing
chase began. Unable alone to achieve
his object, No. 2 went of, but present

sat down and begun to share it. His
thick lips, his heavy breathing-bah,
he was revolving! Before she had fin

conclusion that she hated him.
As he swallowed his last mOuthful

1T is in my mind that you have
been a lazy cub" the warrior pro-
nounced deliberate sentence, as he
set down his goblet. "It is easily seen
that Erode has been over-gentle with
yon. Stand forth and show what your
skin is worth. This sword will not be
too heavy" Selecting the smallest of
the jeweled blades upon the floor, he
thrust it into her hands.
1t is good to have in ones veins the
liquid fire OF the North, blood to which
the presence of peril Is like the touch
OF the Ice King to water At the first
clash of the blades, strange tingling
fires began to flash through Randalin
and then hardness that burnt
while it froze. The first pass, her
hands had parted seemingly by their
own instinct; now she flung back her
tumbling curls and proceeded to give
those hands the aid of her eyes. Three
times her blade met Rothgars square
ly, and deftly turned it aside The
big warrior gave grunt OF approval
and tried more complicated pass.

clawing of her free hand, were not

Rothgar! She shivered as she fancied
she still felt his greasy touch upon
her hair. To become his property
that he might even kiss! With gasp
of relief, she turned her thoughts
back to the battle.
None too soon; above the outside
din a horn clarioned, loud and clear.
Through the hush that followed could
be heard the voice of Canute, assign

bands.

Then Rothgars harsh voice sounded,
shouting her name-Fridtjof's name
Giving her scarf hasty twist about
her arm, she knotted it with her teeth;
and selling the sword in her little
brown hand clotted with her own
blood, she ran out into the tumult
Shrill and clear from the opposite
hills came the notes of the English
horns, as down the green slope moved
the ranks OF English bowmen. The
hum of Danish voices sank in a
breathless hush. Down the line came
the young King upon his white war.

more f1ercely bright than was his
face. His long locks flowed behind
him on the wind like tongues Of yell

blue northern sky, the leaders, fire
flashed in his eyes. AS he came, he
was calling out terrible reminders;
words that were to the ears OF his
champing host what the smell OF blood
is to the nostrils Of wolves.
His answer was the bursting roar
OF the Danish battle-cry. Like an ava
lanche loosed from its moorings, they
swept down the hillside upon the Eng

But from outside, a clatter of hurry

While she was trying to unravel it

The girl started up with a gasp OF
alarm, then made the strange dis
covery that she was no longer afraid
OF him. Though he showed against
the linen wall as brawny and big of
jo%l as he had loomed up the night
before, she found herself moved only
to dislike. What had been the matter
last night? Understanding nothing
of the clairyoyant power of sharpened
nerves, she set it down to cowardice,
and put on an extra swagger now as
her eye met his.

dian Aborignes.
The chief Sabbath attraction in an
uptown church recently was pyra-
mid cactus. 1t held the most con-
spicuous place on the altar and
scores of strangers visited the church
to see it.
1T was given to our home mission
ary," said one of the members, by an
Indian convert in New Mexico. The
cactus grows only in caverns, and is
found in the Guadalupe mountains.
The beautiful vase-shaped maroon
blooms develop to over two inches in
diameter, and there are as many as
120 on mature plant. In early times
the faithful Indians used the caverns
as churches, and beautiful places OF
worship they must have made, with
majestic walls of variegated lime
stone wreathed in towering juniper
and mountain laurel. They marched
over the mountain trails in spring
chanting seasonal songs to their gods.
When they reached the mouth of the
cavern the chiefs were decorated with
the pyramid cacti, and a dance was
performed.
Then chanting. dancing, and the
sacrifice of animals took place in the
cave Often the redskins, worn out
with their exertions, fell asleep and
stayed through the day and night of
devotion within the mysterious walls.
To sleep near the sacred cactus plants
was the same to the aborigines as
visit to Mecca is to the Mohammedan.
The touching of its leaves was a puri-
fication In itself. From some mys-
terious part Of the plant liquid was
extracted to serve for medicine. and
the flower petals were placed upon
babes forehead at christenings-New
