They are simply invaluable in rid

The feeding habits Of toads and
frogs are closely related to their
method Of spending the winter.
During the summer food is stored
In the body In the form of fat, in
the liver in the form Of glycogen. .
form Of sugar. and In the muscles.
In the fall, on the approach OF cold
weather. they bury themselves below
the frost line and slowly use their
stored.up food.
The temperature OF the body is only
slightly above the surrounding earth,
and they may be partially frozen even
and revive. During hibernation they
cease to breathe by using the lungs
and breathe through the skin: the
beating of the heart and the circula-
ton slow down. SO that q very small

capes the extreme heat in the day

 MT. Devine seemed to have missed the joke
 How muchy" he asked, his gaze still fixed on the stone steps opposite.
 "Receivers would take $60,00O, but it's worth double. That's as sure as I'm standing here. I tell you, Cherub, that property''-
 "I'll take it." said the Cherub.
 "Eh? Bulkins' pendulous under lip was sagging away from his yellow teeth.
 'I said I'd take it at sixty. What do you want to bind the bargain-ten thousand? Fifteen? Well, call it fif- teen" And before that under lip of Bulkins' had stiffened he was holding Cherub's check in his hands.
 Observed Bulkins afterward when he had mentally added his commission to his bank account and recovered from his surprise: "Now, some men would have been six months turning over property like that, but me, unload it on the first sucker meet, though what in thunder Devine wants of place like Hewington Acres is more n can see"
 Apparently Cherub had no immedi- ate use for it since he allowed three weeks to elapse without referring to the transaction, except to toss the deed over to clerk and tell him to have it recorded. He seemed to forget all about it until one Friday afternoon when he found himself with "clos- ing" Saturday, a Sunday and an en- suing Monday holiday on his hands.

 And ten minutes later MT. Devine had started on his voyage of discovery into the fashionable wilds of Long Is- land bent on inspecting the first piece of real estate which he had ever owned, the first tangible fruits of his newly acquired millions.
