kafir Lad Found Out Just What a
 Beating Meant.

Just as a Kafir is slow in locating pain which is being experienced in his own body, so is he slow in imagining what others are suffering. A grown up Kafir related, says MT. Dudley Kidd, in Savage Childhood" that when he was a child his father threat ened him with beating if he did something or other.
 The child was puzzled as to what sort of thing beating might be, for although he had often seen his bigger brothers beaten, his imagination was unable to work on the sight and re- construct the experience of these oth- CTS into terms of his own senses.
 When his father threatened him, therefore, he simply laughed, for he had not the remotest idea of how a beating really felt. It took very short time for the young gentleman to extend the boundaries of his knowl- edge.
 Swift retribution followed the un- pardonable sin of showing disrespect

So off the eagle flew, and about an hour later returned with a second duck This one Tom let him eat in peace. Through the day the eagle hunted, taking al ternate ducks until he had eaten all that he cared for Then Tom claimed all the birds that were captured, and the good-natured eagle didn't make any protest.
 For nearly month that eagle hunted for Tom Ferguson. The com bination of an eagles naturally keen sight and pair of good field glasses made it possible for him to spot any duck for miles around. The eagle worked regularly and caught more birds than half a dozen ordinary wild eagles. Tom was selling the ducks and making money fast. Then the in- born meanness of man cropped out and put an end to what promised to be fourishing industry.
 There isn't any occasion for that bird to eat a whole duck every other time he returns from a hunting trip, Tom said to me one day. I've been at
