cause them more annoyance and mischief.
As they caught a glimpse Of him by the
light OF the newly risen moon he was
running on and on, faster and faster.
Then something most exciting happened
From one side of the valley came a loud
barking Of dogs. then several horsemen
appeared at the edge Of the wood. There
he goes-that wolf that has been catching
our chickens!' called one Of the riders
And soon the whole pack was in pursuit
Of Sneako Wolf
Bunny Rabbit and his son Speckles re-
turned to their home, not wishing to see
the wolf caught and killed by the dogs
and men. Even though he was a bad
fellow-doing nothing but harm in the
world-Bunny could not find 1t in his
heart to wish him i'll. So he turned his
back on the scene in the valley, not wish
Ing to behold the death OF his enemy.
Sneako Wolf
When the news was told to Mamma
Rabbit and White they sat very silent
for a while. Then mamma sighed and
said: II suppose it's only what the wicked
must expect-capture and death at the
hands Of those whom they wrong-but,

So down they sat together and sang upon the

They whispered to the sand grains and beckoned

AFRICA ANIMALS AND INSECTS

r T has been the generally accepted be-
lief that the lion is a great menace to
d the traveller in North African coun-
tries. Such is not true. The African lion
does not wander far from his llaunts in
the forest-grown mountains. and is not
capable of crossing the great sand wastes,
drinking air and eating sand" as so
many imaginative writer's would have us

$50 lions have been killed in Algeria.
This number also includes lionesses and
cubs. More numerous have been the
panthers. and of them 9s8 have been
killed within the past ten years. More
numerous still-though harmless-are the
mentioned above no less than 22,619 have
been killed or taken into captivity. With
a few exceptions all these animals have
been found in their haunts in the noun
