capped certain death by a huge boulder

enger was about n mile and n half

the occasion and block and tackle was

timated weighed about two ton; the
reason ascribed to the loosening Of

THE LEMUR A CHARMING PET
Eha in His Naturalist on the ProwI"
Describes Little AnimaI-Serv-
ants Afraid Of Him.

Pets are of all sorts. One of the
most amusing and ATTRACTIVE is de-
scribed by Eha in his Naturalist on
the Prowl" This little animal was a
lemur, and besides many gentle and
caressing ways, 1t seemed as II 1t
possessed a certain sense of humor.
Says Eha:
Il used to take its soft hand and
examine it's pretty nails. Each hand
had one long, sharp claw. Such
curious arrangement puzzled me, un-
til one day a flea showed me the use
of that claw. 1t bit the lemur under
the ribs. expect the little beast had
reason to be thankful that nature had
spared one toe when it promoted 1t to
the order of four-handed animals.
There never was a more charming
pet. He took life so gayly, and the
antics were so original When my man
let him out of his cage in the morn
ing, he would scamper straight to my
bedroom, look round with large eyes
brimming over with mild curiosity,
and, lightly as a rubber ball, spring to
my dressing table, where he would ex-
anime everything. Then he would
bound across the bed and land on my
shoulders, handle my ears gently, won
dering what was in the hole, and
thrusting in his long tongue to find
out.
That was beyond human endurance,
and | would roll the little fellow into
a ball, wind his long, fully tail about
him. and fling him into the bed. He
would be unwound in moment, and
would skip away to explore some
more.
His hind legs being longer than his
fore, he walked slowly, with his head
down; but when in hurry he would
stand up and bound along like a kan
CARGO, tail in the air, arms extended,
fingers spread, looking like nothing
one ever saw.
The servants regarded him as un-
canny, and fed at his approach. He
would give chase, and there never

butler in full flight up the long STAIR

after him, three steps at bound

Hats for Juniors,

Simplicity in the millinery world
should be adhered to emphatically
when the young girls are fitted out for
the autumn.
The most attractive models are
those that reflect the colors of the au
tumn. Brown with touches of red or
yellow is always good. The dull moss
green's or stone grays touched up with
purples that hint of autumn skies are
usually becoming to girlish faces.
