like it, and So of course. poor Jumper
never knew when he might safely sleep
He kept to the deepest part Of the Green
Forest, hoping that Reddy would not hunt
for him there. You know, Reddy is more
fond of the edgeSof the Green Forest than
he is of the deep, dark. lonesome parts
But he had made up his mind to catch
Jumper, and so now he followed Jumper
to his most lonely hiding places.
1t really was quite dreadful for Jumper
and yet it would have been worse for
some others had they been in his place.
You see, bad as it was, it wasn't quite as
bad as things had been in the Great
Woods. where Jumper had lived before
coming down to the Green Forest. There
he had had to watch out every minute
for Tufty the Lynx and Howicr the Wolf
and Mr. Fisher and Mr.. Wolverine, which
was, of course, much worse than having
just Reddy Fox to watch out for. So he
had grown used to being always in dan
ger. But since he had come to live in the
Green Forest he had felt so much safer
and life had been so much easier that
now it came very hard to go back to the
old way of living.
So Jumper the Hare lost his appetite
and couldn't sleep and grew thinner and
thinner in the beautiful springtime. And
so it was that the fun that his friends
and neighbors were having in teasing and
making fun of Reddy Fox was really the
cause of all the trouble that had come to
Jumper the Hare, and he was too polite
to tell them so.

1t is said that in 1879 King Philip of
spain obtained from Margarita a mag
nifcent pearl weighing 80 carats, and
va1ously estimated as being worth from
$4,000 to 100000. The Venezuelan pearls
are Of very good orient and color, and
the fisheries are especially noted for the
number of beautiful barodues (pearls of
irregular or grotesque shapes found.
Perhaps the richest pearl fisheries in the
Americas at present are those of the
Gulf of California. centering around La
Paz, and along the outer coast of Lower
California in Mexico. and along the entire
west coast of the gulf from La Paz to
above the Islands Of Lorento and Tiburon
on the east side. Pearls are also found
along the southern coast OF Mexico and
in Nicaragua. and in the Gulf of Cam
peche on the eastern coast of Mexico The
principal fisheries of this section are how
ever. among the Islas del Rey. or King s
Islands, now known as the Pearl Islands,
lying in the Gulf of Panama. about fifty
miles from the City of Panama. These
consist of Rey Island. Pacheca. Pedro
Gonzales. San Jose and number of
smaller islands to the north. Some beds
are worked along the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts of Colombia and on the latter
coast as far as Ecuador and Peru. The
Costa Rica Panama and Colombia fish
cries are famous for their black green
and blush tinted pearls. while many
beautiful delicate pinks have also been
found. With hardly an exception there
are American pearls among the crown

official life in Washington is a lonely
one However conscientiously she may

knew it. Now. Jumper can outrun Reddy
Fox, and when il comes to race he
isn't the least bit afraid But Reddy is
sly very sly. He knew better than to
try 20 catch Jumper by chasing him. He
knew that he would have to catch him
by surprising him when he was asleep
or by hiding close to some place where
Jumper was in the habit Of eating.
Jumper knew that too. OF course, he
did. He knew just as well as Reddy did
that Reddy couldn't catch him in a race
He felt perfectly safe as long as he could
see Reddy or knew exactly where he was
But at all other times he was worried
You see. he didn't know but Reddy might
Jump out from behind any bush or tree
and so he had to be on watch every min

but what was worse was the fact that
he didn't dare sleep. OF course. he had
to sleep some. but it was in little maps
from which the merest rustic of a leaf

Madeline quaiied before such a stpen-

too much.
She nearly cried her eyes out that
afternoon. That night she could not
sleep. The next morning she went out
and sought the real estate agent. That
night when Steven came home to dinner
she sat down on his knee and had a
house. she said.

We've got it and well keep it,
Wen not keep it. It's too big a sac
a wicked fool Oh Steven. can't you
see that I love you better than all the
houses ever built? Well sell this house

They sold the new house within a
month and bought the little place on
Curran street. which was so much near
er Stevens work. And when the barn
was fitted up a shiny. new car came to
dwell in it. That summer they had the
time of their lives. They even gave
good deal of pleasure to others-the

Very few people have good appetite
when they are worried. 1t was that way
with Jumper. He just couldn't eat much
and, what was almost as bad, he couldn't
sleep much. Now. eating and sleeping are
what make people fat, and whoever can
not sleep is bound to grow thin. And sc
