Harry laughed again. for when the

How Oyster islands Are Formed.

Oyster islands, similar to those
formed of coral, are found in several
parts of the world. The islands in

Century Path Magazine. have been

to rise above the surface Of the water.
This growth is exactly analogous to
that of the coral islands of the Pa.
cifc
The islands near the mouth OF the
River Tagus In Portugal are said to
have been built up in this way also.
Here. where there Is such quantity
of oysters that 100 million a year
would scarcely be missed If they were
removed, the expanse of water just
beyond the rivers mouth is dotted
with oyster Islands. AS In the case OF

same waters where the accumulation
of dead generations has served to
form the islands.

Harry laughed sarcastically. and In
the midst of his laugh Carolyn dashed
into the room. A jolly. romping girl,
just at the age when a girl doesn't
know whether to keep on being girl
or to consider herself a woman, she
paused for moment at sight of
Pigeon, then lost her Formally and
ran to Harry to greet him.
Isn't she some girl, thought" Harry
cried to Pigeon, with his arms around
his sister. Have to keep my eyes on
you, from now on. young lady!
You're getting to be too big and
pretty"
I'm not too big" pouted Carolyn.

at Harry. The lady gathered her hair
into coll again and exclaimed:

Harry followed the direction of her
glance, and saw the object of her dis
may. A handsome hat of yellow
straw. adorned with large red flowers
was hopelessly entangled in the steer

He extricated it-or what he could

a fearful exclamation of despair she
refused it.
