SEEMS THAT INSTINCT ERRs
Deiuded Rabbits That Make names
in Oil Pipes in CALIFORNIA;
Birds Grave Error.

mat almost unerring instinct which
carries animals through grave dan
gers has led in many instances in the
Midway and Sunset oil fields Of Cali
forn1a to their undoing, the Scientific
American remarks. Chief among such
victims are rabbits and water fowl.
A Jackrabbit and a cottontail find
nice round, smooth hole There are
many such in the oil fields where oil
piping is a necessity for the transpor-
tation of oil to the refneTies. The rab-
bits decide to set up housekeeping
there. The cottontail desires a per-
manent home, and the jackrabbit
wants a refuge safe from malevolent
man.
Soon they discover their habitat is
being moves. No doubt they are
frightened, but they instinctively stay
within thStr retreat. One end of the
hole is c'f1sed. Even then they do not
leave. Soon the other end of the hole
is darkened. Then it is darkness
eternas for the furry pair
Soma time later it is discovered that
a newly laid oil pipe is choked After
a great labor the line is disjointed and
the remains of many rabbits removed
Thousands of rabbits have been thus
exterminated in the oil fields.
The death rate among water fowl is
even greater. Again, as with the rab-
bits, instinct leads them to certain de-
struction. Every little lake Of oil in
the vicinity of gusher is a trap for
the unthinking birds. At twilight and
dawn these tar-colored lakes appear as
bodies of water to the deluded fowl

enemy's headquarters. The plan meant
giving, giving in the hope Of receiving
much in return. Would he get the re-
turn?
"A woman was the ideal one for the
task we intrusted to FelIer," he unused,
"a gentlewoman, big enough, adroit
enough, with her soul in the work as
no paid woman's could be! There
seemed no such one in the world"
But to let her do it," gasped Ian
stron
1T is her suggestion, not yours? She
offers herself? She wants no per
suasion?" Partow asked sharply.
Entirely her suggestion said Ian
stron. she offers herself for her
country-for the cause for which our
soldiers will give their lives by the
thousands. It is time of sacrifice"
Partow raised his arms. They were
not formless as he brought them down
with sledge-hammer force to the table.
Your tendon Of Achilles? My boy,
she is your sword-arm!" His sturdy
forefnger ran along the line of from
tier under his eye with little staccato
leaps. "Eh?" he chuckled significantly,
finger poised.

Good Legs or Clutches.

Professor O'Shea's article, in which
he speaks of parents who fail to help
their children by helping them too
much, points out common weakness.
It is easier for all of US to tell some
thing than to teach it. So it is easier
to tell the boy who wants to use the
word ordinary" how to spell it than
to give him the help that means he
will be able to spell the word again
himself. But what will he do when
he wants to use the word some time
when no one is by to help him? He is
not really learning his lesson any more
than a child would be learning to walk
who never let go his mothers hand.
The boy or girl who leans always on
some one else may get through this
work, but he is not getting an educa-
ton. It is no real kindness to him to
teach him always to rely on others.
When he gets away from school into
the competitive life Of men and wom-
en- he will find himself sadly handi-
capped if he must always ask some
one else how his work is to be DONE

You dol" WesterIing exploded. The

neither Bouchard's saturnine cunning,
nor brides. nor spies could ascertain!
It was like the bugIe-ca1l to the hunter.
But he controlled himself. Yes, yes."
He was thoughtful and guarded.
DO you think it is right to teIl?"
Marta gasped half inarticulately.
Right? Yes. to hasten the newt

ling with deliberate assurance.

if about to break away unanimously,
but paused, swaying unsteadily, and
passed her hand across her eyes.
We intend a general attack on the
first line of defense tonight" he ex-
claimed, his supreme thought leaping
into words.
And you would want the informa-
ton about the first line tonight Tiff
it is to be Of service?"
Yes, tonight"
Marta brought her hands together
in a tight clasp. Her gaze futtered
for minute over the tea-table. When
she looked up her eyes were calm.
Tt is big thing, isn't tt?" she said.
"A thing not to be done in an impulse.

Without further formality she start

steps. WesterIing watched her sharp

ond terrace, pacing slowly, head bent,

stood for time getting a grip on his
own emotions before he went into the

"She asked for it now"
"Why?" demanded Partow with one
OF his shrewd, piercing looks.
She did not say, but I can guess"
explained Lanstron. she must put all
her cards on the table; she must tell
Westerling all she knows at once. If
she tells him piecemeal it might lead
to the supposition that she still had
some means of communication with

add that they never thought such

they did not; the last generation read
much less and travelled far less than
