compared with ten years ago, and a
great deal of interest is now being
taken in the pigeon as a source of
profit. The first essential is to have a
good house and yard, and to have the
yard wired, in order to confine the
birds. The house should be arranged
to permit of abundant floor room, the
nests to be along the sides. The
homer pigeon is largely used, an ex'
cellent mating being the dragon and
homer Be sure that the sexes ara
equal, as pigeons pair and keep the
same nests. Mice in the nests must
be guarded against. and lice will de-
stroy all profit. Give nesting ma
terials for the birds, and include to-
bacco leaves, which will assist in
keeping lice away. Fresh insect pow
der should be freely used In the
nests on the first indication of lice,
and cleanliness must be enforced.
The yard should be at least ten feet
high, of any size preferred, and
should have roostinG poles at differ
ent heights, on which the birds may
alight. Keep a salt Goldfish hung

long, thin black line.
But when this long line neared the
kraals of Wambo, just at sunup, ex-
pecting to pounce him while he still
slept, great was the chagrin of Amazu
when his scouts reported that VAN

own spies had already reported that
Amazu was approaching in war feath-

And the white doctor is leaving the

Whereupon Amazu took his place at
the head of his column and led the line

now the long. thin, black line moved

noiselessly as a monstrous python.

CHAPTER III.
NoiseIessly as a Python.


Meanwhile at the Kafir village the
many men" who had escorted the
lone horse" now unfolded from the
packs which these blacks had carried
on their heads no end of things to
please the eye of Chief Wambo
These articles they had acquired in
trade" at the river station. There
were colored beads galore. which
Wambo distributed to the women, re-
serving the bluest and reddest for his
own wife, Swat, mother of Bantu
Then there were bolts of unbleached
cotton cloth, which the natives called
Americana" because it was made in
America. This Americana was
turned over to the women for gar.
ments which Mrs. Wayne had taught
them to make. For Wambo himself
there was a rifle and cartridges
Wambo understood firearms. for often
he had loaded and fired Doctor Wayne S
guns. So now, as he loaded the rife
he said:
"Amazu, hear, also has a gun
Well. we shall see which can shoot
best. Amazu or Wambo-pretty soon
at sunrise.
While the rifle pleased Wambo
much, another article brought by the
blacks pleased him more. This was
an American alarm clock. With an
assegai Wambo pried open this mar
velous glittering thing which licked
in his ear in way he could not un-
derstand. The. mechanism within SO
tickled him that he unscrewed one
of the cog-wheels and attached 1t to
thong.
"Bantu," he called. Here is a charm
for you'll" And he hung the cog-wheel
of the alarm clock about the neck of
his son and heir. Whereat Bantu was
exceeding proud and strutted up and
down before the black girls and then
ran off to show this wonderful article
Of personal adornment to his friend,
Edith Wayne.
Presently Edith herself entered the
village In company with Bantu. And
with the children came Doctor and Mrs.
Wayne and Uncle Steve.
"Wambo." said Doctor Wayne. Il
have fallen heir to millions Of beads
and miles of Americana and no end of
alarm clocks. 1t is my duty to my
family to go from here and trek to

boat across the wide water to a far

claim my beads and my Americana
and my alarm clocks and present
them to my wife and daughter. thus
providing for them so long as they
shall live. So tomorrow, at sun-up
we must leave here and take the river

To the missionary's speech Wambo
listened stoically till the doctor an.
nounced that he would take the trail
through the iungles. 1t was then that
Wambo started and looked from one
to the other of the whites in alarm

OVERFED AND UNDERFED HEN
Best Plan for Feeding Is to Watch the
Flock Carefully and See That All
Are Satisfied.

1t is not possible to lay down hard
and fast rules for feeding, because OF
the fact that different hens require
different quantities. The best plan is
to watch the flock carefully when feed
ing to zee that every hen gets her
share. The man who raises the feed
for his fowls is the one who is likely
to overfeed them, while the one who
buys his feed is likely to err in the
opposite direction. The only way one
can manage with any degree of GER
tainty is to try different quantities Of
food on the flock for a period long
enough to note results. 1t will pay
to weigh the hens in order to get &C.
curate results. When the proper al
lowance seems to have been reached,
feed accordingly and do not change
unless necessary.

SHIPPING EGGS IN WINTER
Careful Packing Is Required to Avoid
Freezing During Intense Cold
Objection to Wadinc.

Shipping eggs in winter require
careful packing. Eggs are liable to
become frozen in the crates when the
cold is intense, although the crates
may be made tight and the eggs in
closed in paper partitions. There is
no remedy for the drawback. and the
only safe plan is to keep the eggs UNI
til the weather moderates. Sawdust
Is sometimes used in the crates to fill
up the spaces and prevent the ingress
Of cool air. but it only adds to the
weight. If one has the time to bestow,
the eggs may be wrapped in wadding,

but the merchants who receive them
may object to the extra labor imposed
upon them of removing the covering
from the eggs after arrival.

fallen fat on the ground at their ap-
proach
But after the children had passed
the warrior arose and glided away,
murmuring:
Tonight Amazu will eat meat!"
Thus this warrior sealed the fate of
the two children. If AmaZu ate meat
that night, it would mean that on the
morrow he would take the warpath
For the Kafir rarely eats meat except
when about to go forth to kin the

If the warriors murmured words were
correct. Amazu would eat giraffe tail
and the meat Of buffalo tail. And then
woe, woe to Chief Wambo and his
men! Woe to the missionary and his
family! The warrior was returning
to Amazu with the information that
Wambo and his men slept after sun
rise. And so, with the next rising of
the sun, Amazu would come to steal
Wambo's cattle and, if necessary. to
fight For Amazu, having eaten meat,
would come prepared for war.
In their race through the jungle, the
two children now reached place OF
great trees arching high overhead.
To this place Edith's father had given
the name "The Forest Cathedral"
Here DR.. Robert Wayne, at once an
M. d. and d. D., had erected a rude
cross. And here in this forest cathe-
dral the Kafirs Of Wambos village
came daily to listen to the teaching of
the missionary and to practice trades
and useful arts and crafts that the
white man taught them.
AS the children reached the cross,
that stood on kind of terrace form
ing natural altar, Bantu cried:

His trained ear detected certain
sounds far down the caravan trail to
the Sabaki river-sounds that alarmed
him. Bantu listened intently clutch
ing Edith's arm
