Crocodiles are very interesting be-
cause they are surviyals of an ancient
and vanished epoch. They resemble
closely some of the saurians that
walked on the earth and swan in the
pecan during that age Of reptiles
which, according to the biologists.
came to an end many millions Of years
ago. 1t is probable that these cres-

straw and the rest Of it with sand.
I'm proud of Uncle Abner, I can tell
you, Frank" continued Jed.
''Who wouldn't be?" replied Frank
81 hope he'll make his visit while I'm
here"
ooh, yes, he is due to arrive day
after tomorrow" declared Jed.
"Pd just love to have him once
more go over that splendidly thrill
ing story of how he saved the day
at Pea Ridge. I say, Jed, I'll come
Saturday evening, and I'll bring Net
tie. You know your uncle always
made pet of her"
Jed fluttered like a timid school
child. To see Nettie again-to have
her under the same roof! How he
polished up the old tinware the next
day! How he planned a meal out of
the ordinary for those cherished
guests, and when his uncle arrived
the old fellow was wild with delight
to give his favorite glad reception.
Frank Wilder was mining engi-
neer in the city and an agreeable
and instructive talker. Both Ned and
his uncle were arrayed in their best
and the house spick and span when,
Saturday afternoon. Nettie and her
brother drove up from their home,
five miles distant.
Nettie was ardent in her praises of
the orderliness and system of this
typical bachelors hall. She insisted
on helping Jed prepare the meal It
was the happiest moment Of his life,
to view her dainty figure fitting
about the kitchen, keeping up a

hopes of the future, when better
times came along.
-Four times a year Uncle Abner
came home for week. These COM
panionable visits Jed looked forward
to with sincere, longing pleasure.
Such an occasion he was anticipating
one evening when there was knock
at the door and bluff, hearty voice
sang out:
"Open up therein nigh persisted
with the chilling blast" !.
why, Frank Wilder!" greeted Jed,
as he opened the door to welcome
Nettie's brother.
Eyes, Pm down from the cityfor
week, got lonesome and thought
chat with an old friend would do me
good"
Jed made his visitor fully comfort
able. He piled the wood into the
broad open fireplace, got out a pitcher
Of prime home cider and some wal
nuts and maple sugar.
81 say" finally observed Frank,
why don't you come, down to the

rather lamely explaied Jed, flushing
up. Especially the last month, for
uncle is coming on his regular quar-
terly visit, you see.'"
well, Nettie invited you to her
birthday party and was quite put out
because you did not come. Hello"
Frank gave start and a stare at
something he had not noticed before
"a figure standing in the dim corner
of the room. Jed was grateful that
the conversation had changed. He
could not very well explain to his
friend that grinding poverty had not |
