Wake up, Dolls Eyes. Leave your dreamland playmates before l grow jealous Besides. breakfast waits" His rumpled head was thrust between the flaps of the tent. She gave a little gasp and sat upright among tangle of blue and gray blankets, her eyes open wide and her two tight braids of coppery hair trailing beside her.
 Behind the tent the spruces lifted black, shaggy heads above the low lying mist. In front and on either side the lake water glimmered through the white veil that clung above it. A low pulsing roar filled the soft air, waxing and waning and seem ing to come from all directions at once. The backlog threw grateful warmth into their faces.
 How did you sleep, Dolls Eyes? Were you really warm and comfy? Ones first night in camp is rarely so, you know, and you mustn't mind ad- hitting it If you were not"
 T was plenty warm and plenty comfy, and I slept like a dormouse- the last half of the night. But for hours 1 was awake listening"
 Listening, and to what, pray?"

 Tt was very strange and weird, and-and frightening. I did not know running water was like that at night

 Yes, little one, l know The h. dians say it is the spirits of their dead. Many people cant hear them at all I can-when 1 want to-
 Well, was just getting dozy and you were very sound asleep, when l heard a sudden peal of laughter. I was wide awake instantly. The noise of the rapid seemed twice as loud as it is now. Presently I could hear voices as if in conversation and the crunch of feet on the shingle and thought perhaps party of Indians had landed by our canoe. 1 was about to wake you up when the noise ceased and 1 knew 1t was only my imagination and the noise of the water Then the voices started again, growing louder and shriller and again dwindled away to nothing, and there was laughter, woman's laughter, and the sound of bells and singing and other things, and I listened fascinated and somewhat afraid, but was ashamed to disturb you. At the first flush of dawn I fell asleep"
 You'll get used to it right away, and if you don't we'll search out an other camping ground where the spirits won't disturb you"
 The sun had climbed to the top of the opposite crest and only few wisps of mist still trailed on the water. From every direction the dark, somber spruces marched down to the shore and wedged out into the blue lake.

 But that our common fowl formed part of the old Hebraic diet Is doubt full. During the earlier period of Jew ish history there is silence on the sub. ject. In Job occurs the question, "Is there any taste in the white of an egg?" But this, and other references to eggs, alude doubtless to wild fowl. The frequent allusions to the bird nesting 'in any tree by chance, or on the ground" would seem to prove that they were not of the tame variety
 Many think that Solomon introduced domestic poultry into Palestine, be. cause of the "fatted fowl" brought daily to the kings table. But this is only conjecture; the truth seems to be that somewhere, between the old dispensation and the new, the domes' tic fowl, very much as we have 1t now. was brought into Palestine, probably by the Romans.

of old to his nomad feet, the man had brought the girl the day after they were married. Before his art and his ambitions and more than all else ex- cept the girl, he loved the untracked wilderness, and the bringing of the two together had been a long cher ished dream of his heart.
 One evening as they lolled about the fire, the full moon and the lake, shimmering like a great silver shield lured them into the canoe.
 The girl took the stern paddle and insisted on the man becoming passen- ger. He reclined on an armful of fir boughs beyond the middle thwart with a pipe between his teeth and his face toward the girl. Her sturdy little arms swung the canoe swiftly and noiselessly toward the center of the lake and into the full glory of the night.
 They spoke little; the night seemed too beautiful to mar with words. After

I THIS day poultry are plentiful in Palestine, and that they were bred in the time of the apos- ties is generally be- lieved. We have abun- dant proof of this in the touching lament of Jesus over Jerusalem, and in the allusions to "cock-crowing." That this cock" was like the familiar barnyard fowl of to-day is the general opinion-as witness the picture of the eminent
