wind and dipping to the very housetops the turn
 The whistles sounded out only at the dipping, be- cause in the teeth of the wind they bcame choked; but they sounded enough to call back some of Kao Chun's stragglers, which could be seen rising and falling in the storm as they cut their way toward the flock. Little American would not stop for these, and chased his flock back from the roof again and again, until he saw, as they mounted from a long sweep behind the great temple, that new tientse among his birds, with the long wings and spotted neck of Mu Nha You.
 Li Loo knew her at once. He had climbed the wall to watch for her. ani for the bag shouting to Little American to hold back the call-brds until the flock should directly the brick-paved yard by the pigeon house. On they came, laDorng over the housetops, keeping together Tn perfect order but whipping their haif-shut wings unwillingly, and turning down their hungry little eyes as they drew close overhead. This the moment. Little American chased out the cali-birds just as Ii Loo threw a handful of big red kernels dancing upon the pavement. The greedy call-birds flung themselves upon it, and the flock, Mu Wha You and all, dropped straight between the houses to the ground Mu Wha You stood a-tiptoe she touched ground as if scared to find herself there and ready to spring into the air at movement. No moved, however so she began wariy to snatch the kernels within reach.
 Lii Loo held his hands together without stirring and Little American now saw some new-fedged squabs poking out their heads from his big sleeves He kept his eyes on little heap Of corn around which he had scattered the handful which the flock were eat ing.
 The birds, quickly pecking up every stray corn now began to draw into close circle around this little pile, Mu Wha You forgetting to look up at Lii Loo, who quietly set the young pigeons loose upon ground Seeing the corn the eager squabs squeal- ing and shaking their wings among the other birds. Then Little American saw, what to happen. Squabs always spread their wings when they sQueal to be fed. Even when they pick up for them selves, they begin by squealing and flaming the other pigeons So these squabs pushed among the unheedng feeders cumsily shaking their silly fans over their heads. In a moment Mu Wha You was hooded" between two of them and as if bndfolded; whereupon Lii Loo, stepping up behind the three, noiseessly as cat, nabbed her from the ground.
 Little American so happy at the "baby-pgeon trick" that he gave Mu Wha You as a present to Ii Loo, who clipped out her speckled feathers and glued in proper white feathers neatly that no one knew her for wha tou "speckled head" And she was sold for big sum to farmer, who took her to Shantung, so that nobody knows what he said when the black feathers grew out again,

The enemies of the pigeons are three-the weasel, the hawk, and the cat Of these the weasel is dead Hest, for it work into a pigeon-house by the merest crack, and its rule is to kill all. The hawk is a gallant robber for he takes but one, and that by fair strategy in the open sky.
 The slyest enemies of the pigeons however and those they most dread the cats They will spring into a pigeon-house at sundown, when the pigeons have gone their cells to be shut in for the night. When this happens the flock is stampeded and bers lost, for pigeons blind in the dark and cannot be called down.
 So when dark night several months after the flight of Mu Wha You, Little American was wakened by the sudden screech of a pigeo4-whstle passing overhead in the darkness. and saw from his window a red glow Kao Chun's roof, he knew that some cat had scared out his rivals flock roosting-time and that Kao Chun trying the fire decoy'- burning corn-stalks soaked in oil to draw down his panc-sricken birds He knew, too that after night flying, Mu Wha You might be tempted to alght with his flock again.
 The rule is that after three aightings a strange pigeon will never be drawn down again. and IIu Wha You had twice been brought to roof by Little Americans pigeons without being taken The first time she had followed them to the caves and had just poked over her head and dropped her wings to join the birds feeding in the wicker cage when of Kao Chun's call-birds, cevery thrown over the house startled her up and led her to it's home The second time she alighted was by misleading furry at the splitting of the two focks This time she knew her mistake and could not be coaxed from the ridge-poie.
 But there was now chance that by morning she would be scared and hungry enough to alight the ground if she pigeons feeding in the open court in front of the wicker house-especiay if she saw red corn; for sorghum-fed pigeons are guttonous after red corn.
 At daylight Little American saw by the waving trees that it was morning of west wind The yell low edge of a great dust-coud moving up the sky, threatening day of closed windows and lamp light. Already the copper sky was ugly for nyin- Little Americans flock struggled up il slaatng cir eic, whirling high into the air when it stelzed tbe

The title sounds queer, know; but if you ever have the chance to examine caribous feet you will sec what is meant in moment In the first place, the hoof is very large and the cleft between the halves is very deep so that the feet spread widely when the caribou's weight is on them. The hoof Of a large bull that I once on the Renous Barrens measured five and one-haH inches across; and when (with less force than the caribous weight would have exercised) pulled apart the halves. the spread nearly ten'nches.
 Besides this the caribou's anklejont is exceeding ly flexible, that the large dew-claws. which are five or six inches above the hoof and behind, bend down easily and rest the snow spreading like the hoofs when they touch. This gives to the caribou a broad supporting surface which to travel-ve-y
 much wider than that of his great cousin the moose

By WILLIAM /. LONG

It is indeed kind of natural snovshoe not unlike that which grows the grouses foot every winter. to help him over the snow.
 The result of this wise provision on the part Of nature is to give the caribou an enormous advantage over the rest of his family. While deer and moose are half prisoners in their yards unable to leave the paths which they have made in the snow, the carbon wanders where he will, kept from sinking too deep by his widespreadng snowshoes.
 There is another curious thing about 2. caribou's hoofs. The edges in winter, are sharp and convex. like bells rim that he travel on the ice with out slipping He likes this kind of travelling, and Is often trotting far out the northern lakes i1 pure fun apparently there is nothing to eat the ice and he drinks water in winter contenting him self with little snow when he is thirsty

The pandemonium increased when six Buboiers with Harry Baker leading. formed in procession ana walked on to the platform, carrying between them two large gavanized-ron pans leach measuring nine feet in circumference) five childrens wooden hcops a number of copper and brass rings, two shining nails full of soap and water already mixed, and think of iti-not pipe, tube, cornucopia Of any kind!
 After few words explanatory of the evolution or tbe soapbubbe from the claypie stage to its pres ent one Phil dipped wire ring into the solution ana gently sweeping it before him. cast on bubble fully twice the size of his head. Every Bubber boy gave q cry of satisfaction at this and 1t looked as though all the Bubbers might fling their golden cornucoplas on to the stage when the master of the soap ana water tossed of five large bubbles in succession, no ooly from the same ring but from the sarge film!
 Almost immediately Phil's assstants-there were five of them-folloved his example and from that time on the stage was continually aglow with the brilliant spheres.

 The Soap-Bubblers-but recently or
 ganized with Phil Thompson as Head
 Bubbler Harry Baker as Chief Cornucopla. the minor Bubbers occupying minor odd-tited posi- tions. well Bubbers occupying no positions at alI-had resolved that the ancient and honorable amusement of blowing soapbubbiss sadly in need Of reforn2tion; and further that it vas their mis- sion to reform it.
 Thus it came to pass that on this late blusteTy winter evening the interior of Masonic Hall presented such scene of brilliancy had rarely been eQualed within its historic walls.
 The magican's wand had hardly fallen when there arose forty-seven large bubbles from forty-5even golden cornucopias held in the hands of fo-ty-seven rosy-cheeked boys and girls standing by twenty-four little oblong tables. cry of delight swept round the hall, and forty-seven more bubbles arose. and still another shower of the iridescent spheres gilt tered in the surrounding brilliancy before the Bub- blers settled down to the business of the evening.
 For this occasion every member had promised to perform at least bubble trick, and to perform It well. Eddie Stark showed top spinning within bubble and Minnie Sargent-seated opposite-a beau tful rose within another. Freddie Wilder did fully as well at the table allotted to him. while Little Vie tor" cleverly dropped all sorts of objects through some beautiful bubbles blown by Frank Burt.
 Then Phil the Head Bubbler. stepped on the plat form and was uproariously greeted. He announced he would show the Bubblers how to. make large bub- bles without blowing them!

10 And the brethren Immediately
sent away Paul and Silas by night

come thither went into the synagogue
of the Jews. II Now these We're more
noble than those in Thessalonica, in
that they received the word with all
readiness of mind, examining the
scriptures daily, whether these things
We're so. u Many of them therefore
believed: also of the Greek women of
honorable estate, and of men. not a
few. 13 But when the Jews of Thes-
salonica had knowledge that the word
of God was proclaimed of Paul at
Beroea also, they came thither like
wise. stirring up and troubling the
multitudes. IA And then Immediately
the brethren sent forth Paul to go as
far as to the sea: and Silas and Tim

that conducted Paul brought him as
far as Athens: and receiving a COM

that they should come to him with all
speed, they departed.
