OWE WEALTH TO TRADE RAT
Rodents Popularity Led to Discovery
of Valuable Mine From Which He
Had Carried Away Ore.

Miser the trade rat is also called
pack rat. wood rat and bushy tailed
rat. He is one of the smartest and by
far the most interesting of all the rat
family.
He is rather q f~ine-looking fellow.
He is of large size, has big eyes, big
ears, and, in many parts of the country
where he lives his tail is covered with
long hair. 1t is because of this that
he often is called the bushy-tailed rat.
This rat is q born collector and
trader. Anything he can carry off is
a prize. Very frequently he tries TO
make amends by replacing with some
thing else the object carried away.
For instance, he will empty q bag of
seeds and fill it with pebbles or bits of
sticks. He appears to be very fond of
things that shine or are white, and
will collect shells, bones. pebbles. bits
of tin, buckles. pistol cartridges,
spoons. forks and knives.

feeling they had both made a mistake
in the marriage venture. and believing
a divorce TO be the only solution of the
problem.
Then came the ringing declaration OF
the president, and the call to arms of

the first to respond to the call. He be-

self she found she was thinking many
times g day about Guy. and even miss

Then she began TO see his name in the
papers. He was proving himself q dar-
ing aviator. Dir. Amos Holley had pre-
scented his son, Guy, with q finely
equipped airship which was to be given
to the service of the government, and
the young man was expected soon to
sail for service in France.
Florence found she was watching
every paper to see If he had arrived
safely. A strange new sensation Of
thankfulness came when she heard he
was in France. The next news was Of
a daring flight over the enemy's lines,
and an honorable mention of his feat.
Then n day Florence sat down and
wrote him a letter. In 1t she said: II

you came to grief so to pilot your bark
into smoother channels"
In closing the letter she asked him
to write and tell her something of his
life at the front. She received a reply
full of interest to her. He told very
mOdestly some of his adventures, and
admitted that he might also have made
some mistakes 'in the business of be-
ing a husband" A regular correspond
ence followed. In one of his letters
Holley said: almost this seems like
a new acquaintance. Your letters re-
veal to me something in you l never
knew was there. Perhaps you may
some day find in me a man grown more
worth while because of his wider,
harder experience"
In answer Florence wrote she did
not need TO wait for "some day." She
had found the finer, stronger man. The
communications that come and go be-
tween them are now real love letters,
much more real than those of their
callow youth, and both are hoping the
war will not put asunder their lives
which 1t has really brought together.
