 But at this minute, one of the boys. a bit taller than Charlie. but not so compact as he, came right up beside Charlie and caught hold of him by the shoulders, saying in an in- sulting tone:
 Come, give us that money you have in your pockets. We want a treat from Peddler Kid. See? Don't go to making a fuss, or we'll take you over to the lake and duck you. Seer"
 But the boy had no time to even suspect what was coming, Charlie was so quick. He whirled on the youth ful robber and knocked him down with one good, hard blow of an hon. est fist.
 At the same instant two other boys came rushing on him to assist their companion. But Charlie laid one of them out with one tap of his strong arm beneath the fellows chin. He went tumbling over and over. end ing in a heap on his fallen friend.

and, after completing his studies. he began, while still young. to teach in his turn.
 Among Raymond Bonheur's pupils was young orphan girl who was being brought up in well-to-do Bordeaux family. Soon the young professor and his girl pupil fell in love with eachs other. and on May 21, 1921, they were married. The following year a child was born of this union. and was baptised by the name of Marie Rosalie. This babe was the future artist. Rosa Bonheur.
 "At the time of Rosa's birth, the position of the parents was fairly com fortable. Raymond Bonheur earned enough to pay his way; his wife, who was a good musician. added to their income by giving piano lessons. But with each fresh year of married life the burden to be supported became heavier. A second child, Auguste, was born in 1924; third, Isidore, in 1927; the grandfather (Raym ond Bonheur's parents made their home with their son) needed more and more assistance and the grandmother was less able to look after Inc house.
 Ut was the embarrassment from this state of things which led Ray mond Bonheur to form the plan of leaving Bordeaux for Paris, where his elder sister had settled, and was en- gagged in teaching
 It was In 1928 that Raymond Bon heur went to Paris, leaving his fam fly, including his aged parents. at Bordeaux. He wanted to secure work, and fit out a place for his loved ones before tearing them from the dear old home that they all so dearly loved. His struggles in Paris during the year that he sojourned there, before sending for his family, were hard in deed, but he was brave and full of enthusiasm. and surmounted all ob- stacles. So after twelve months In Paris alone, Raymond dispatched a letter and money for his dear ones to join him in the Great City. All but his aged father-who was too infirm to make the journey-took leave of Bordeaux and were established In the capital.

Tke Canary Bird

The dear little canary bird has long been favorite in many lands on account of it's wonderful singing. It was as long ago as the latter part of the fifteenth century that their song attracted travellers to the Canary Islands, and they were caught and transported to different parts of Flu rope. Since then they have been bred extensively all over Europe and America, outside their natural en- vironment.
 Today, the most famous of singing canaries Is bred by the natives of the Herz Mountains. Germany. The choicest of these. says writer on the subject, are known as Cam paninis," and command almost fabu- lous prices. It Is nothing unusual to see one bring a hundred dollars and the price is often very much higher.

~ URING the summer vacation the
 Sears family had moved into
 town, coming off their farm - several miles distant. This move had taken place so that Charlie, the only child of the Sears house. hold, might have the advantages of the town school. MT. Sears, carpen- ter by trade, had opened a shop in town, but work was slack and money did not come to the Sears family in very generous quantities. Therefore, Mrs. Sears and Charlie had put their heads together, so to speak, early in the spring, and had decided to lend their help to MT. Sears in some way.
 'I can make a garden" said Mrs. Sears. And you can sell the vege- tables, Charlie, dear"
 "Yes, Mother, I can not only sell the vegetables, but I can help to raise them." said Charlie, a bright, industrious, ambitious fellow of 12 years.
 And they had set to work, digging, planting and cultivating, and when the summer came they had plenty of early vegetables to sell to the towns people. And Charlie had never shirked his work, but would be up bright and early of mornings, get ting the vegetables in baskets to be peddled about.
 Soon after Charlie had begun this work, some of the town boys-who spent their vacations in idleness, and who expended more money on un-

A Story for Boys

the lady take the household article and hand Charlie fifty-cent piece in exchange. Then he knew that Charlie must have quite a pocketful of coins, for he had already delivered seven packages at so many doors, and received his payment for them. So the mean, work-despising youth, fully Charlie's size and perhaps a year older than he, ran back to his waiting companions and whispered something to them. They were all very much excited and talked in low tones, watching furtively for their victim as he came out of the yard of the house where he had delivered the last package.
 Charlie set out towards home to get another armful of packages when he saw the band of boys waiting for him. He turned deaf ear to their yells of "Peddler Kid!" and "Peddling Clod- hopper" He had gone about three blocks, the gang behind him, and gaining on him rapidly, when one of the crowd threw a clod of dirt and hit him square on the cheek. Even then the child went on about his business, and kept saying over and over to himself: They can't make me fight, for there's nothing to fight for. They are ruffians, and I'm behaving myself. We don't belong to the same class. I'm a worker and they're idlers. They don't hurt me with their names. Mother said for me never to mind them, but to scorn them for what they

ing and quarreling. But you kids main a gentleman this time. I had to pay you back in your own coin. I didn't want to have to do 1t, though, and I know what my mother will say. She'll say I should not have lowered myself to fight you-I mean to whip you. I did whip you both. didn't I?''
 At first the boys made wry faces and refused to reply. but when they got a look at Charlie's determined face, they decided 1t best to answer, and to answer truthfully. So one of them said, Yep, I'll 'fess up. You whipped me-" And the other had to add: Yep, you've got me this time"
 And there'll never be next time,'" said Charlie. You might as well come to an agreement right now, before I let you up." he said. Well call this our first and our last fight. Eh?"
 One boy, lying fiat on his face, and the other lying across him, back down, were so placed beneath Charlie that he could have held them there indefinitely. And their companions had got out of sight, and did not seem inclined to return to assist their fallen friends. So Charlie had things about his own way, and could make them pledge themselves to better conduct in future. This they did shame facedly, and one of them in a quiver- ing voice. for he was in most un- comfortable position.
 Now, get up and go as fast as you can after your chums," said Char lie. And remember. I'm no longer Peddler Kid; I'm Peddling Fighter

nothing to be said In favor of such garments. They are cold, stiff un- comfortable. While painting one wants to be comfortable. and this Is impossible when confined In stiff oilcloth apron.
 A very good apron to be worn by the young art student can be made In the following way: over the sides where one is apt to unthinkingly rub brush when in hurry-make the apron of three ply cloth, each ply hanging loose, or better still. fastened on by buttons or tapes which tie. These top flaps may be removed when they become too much smeared with paint and oil. The left sleeve should thickness, as the palette rests on that arm, and the sleeve so often dabs Into the paint when 1t gets much distrib- uted over the palette. One Is liable, too, when very intent on a picture. to forget to hold the palette In place. and will bend forward in such way that the oil will run out of the little oil-can and get on the sleeve. One thickness of cloth would not absorb it, and much of the oil would pene- trate to the dress sleeve. But one or two extra thicknesses of the cotton cloth would prevent such an accident and thus save the dress of the little artist.
 Girls who work with oil colors. just try the apron described above and you will never paint without it.

 Rosa Bonheur continues in her "reminiscences of later period. "Af- ter 1880 we found it more difficult to live. My father could get no pupils and in 1892, the cholera came to make things worse. It was dreadful. Carts filled with corpses were continually in the streets. Every one was terror stricken. But before this, we had gone to live in the Rue des Tournelles in an old house dating back to Louis XIII. A big stone staircase gave ac- cess to our apartment, and It was so gloomy that l was frightened to go up 1t alone, especially as underneath us lived an undertaker's man. His wife made shuttle-cocks and other children's toys"
 To return to Rosa's biographer: Tt was In 1883, that Raymond Bonheur lost his wife, prematurely worn out by trials of a precarious life. He had lost both his parents year or two before; thus he was left alone with four little children, Rosa, the eldest, being but twelve years old"
 Some little time later, Rosa was apprenticed to dressmaker, but she had no taste for sewing" and in stead of doing the work set her, she would steal into her employers hus- bands workshop, where the good man was engaged in making percussion caps for fowling pieces. There the little artist would turn the wheel for

necessary things than Charlie had for clothing the year round-began mak- ing fun of Charlie as he went about the town, from back door to back door. selling his produce.
 "Peddler Kidl" one of them cried one day. And then the name had be- come fixed to Charlie, and wherever any of the idle crowd saw him they would call out, "Peddler Kid" And this was not the only annoyance Charlie had met with from these young, heartless fellows.
 And so the summer had passed away and autumn had come, with school-days close at hand. And Char lie needed new clothing and new school books, but had not been able to lay away any of his vegetable money for the purpose of supplying himself with these necessities. His father had had little work during the heated term, but there was a promise of plenty of work after the cool weather had set in. So the Sears family knew that if they could man age" till the latter part of September things would brighten for them in the matter of enough money to provide themselves with the necessary things of life, besides having few of the comforts.
 But Charlie could not wait till the late September work began for his fa- ther. His needs were pressing and immediate. So he and his mother again put their heads together and began devising ways and means by which Charlie might make a few necessary dollars before school be- gan. Their time was short--less than two weeks in which to accumulate the needed book and clothing funds
 One morning while Mrs Sears was looking over some advertisements in a family magazine, she came upon a very clever and useful household de- vice. This invention was something needed by all housewives, and after one had used it for while she would not be without it, and she would be very liable to recommend 1t to her neighbor So Mrs. Sears called to Charlie and together they talked it all over. Then letter was written. the necessary small deposit of money made by postoffIce order for the first sample" of the device. and Charlie waited anxiously the three days neces- sary before the article could reach him.
 Then, very hopeful for he and his parents knew he had a ready and quick seller" he set out to canvass the : town.
 Many of the ladies on whom he called knew him very well, having bought many of his fresh vegetables during the summer, and these did not fail to give him an order. But he found he had to deal with the idle, heartless element that still followed him about and yelled tauntingly at him, "Peddler Kid." and other things to rouse his anger.
 For three days-the time he spent in taking his first orders-Charlie eyaded his tormentors the best he could, but on the day he began de- livering his goods. the boys became unbearable. One of them, a boy whose parents were largely to blame for his rude conduct. in that they had never taught him to look upon honest employment with respect, fol- lowed Charlie almost to the door of ~~A of Charlie's customers.

Something About Jet

XTnHEN we see the pretty shining AD jet ornaments worn by girls and W women we often wonder what jet really is--whether 1t is a manu- factured article or one found in it's perfect state. Jet Is really a kind of hard coal which is very rare. And we are told that the workers in jet are almost extinct. Jet. which used to be worn in many ways by women, has ceased to be a favorite material from which to make ornaments. although we still see 1t worn to a certain extent. Black glass has taken it's place as a cheaper substitute, and in some in- stances is made to initiate jet so psg- fectly that 1t requires an expert to detect the difference between the imi- tation and the genuine article.
 The greatest jet mines are in Eng land and Germany. and used to fur nish q better industry than now, al- though jet Is still mined. In Germany 1t is found in large quantities associ- ated with amber. and as the latter Is quite valuable. jet Is treated as by product. and is taken out in just suf- ficient quantities to meet the slender demand for it.
 In the old days during the popular ity of jet, craftsmen in England ae- quired very high regulations for their decorative skill. At the present day jet is used mostly in ornaments of pi- ety. such as rosary beads. crucifixes, etc. although some jewellers display very elaborate necklaces. bracelets and buckles for ladies of fashion.

the workman in preference to doing the needle work on ladies' gowns. In consequence her stay with the dress maker was not long. Her fathers time being taken up with pupils and painting Rosa had much time to her self. and she became interested in the work of some friends who did heraldic painting and colored plates of every kind. They gave the idle child some simple drawings and kaleidoscope views to tint. At this easy employ ment, which the little maid enjoyed. she earned some small sums.
 As Rosa grew up her father decided to send her to a boarding school. Ae- cording to her own story she became "an element of discord." Her tomboy manners-acquired from having al ways played with her brothers and their male comprehension an un- fortunate influence on her new com panions. One day the mad-cap little Rosa, overfowing with wild spirits. proposed a sham battle in the play yard The result was that the excited little soldier-girls participating in the battle, destroyed their teachers fine flower beds. The teacher refused to harbour any longer such a noisy creature" and sent her back to her father in disgrace.
 And so 1t was throughout her long and healthy life. Rosa always loved innocent fun and hilarity. It was her nature to joke and to laugh, even when in her most serious moods. She was an earnest worker--a tireless stu dent. but she never forgot her tom boy games and happy childhood. and returned to them whenever she could. She became one of the greatest--if not the greatest-animal painters the world has had.
