can precipitate the whitening of

wise to attempt such thing.
Bleaching or dyeing the hair is in
advisable. for the result is always
a gamble. 1t would be better to 60

BY CHIEF TAHAN.


A race story. did you say. boys
and girls? Well, now. let me see.
oh, yes! now I remember all bout
1t. Maybe you'll think this is tho
queerest race that you ever heard
ABOUT. and perhaps it is.
Well. everybody knew that the
Terrapin was very slow on his feet,
but he was always Dragging on
himself. He was always saying how
fast he could go if he ever tried
very hard. One day he said to the
Deer. Il can outrun you any time
that you want to rum
Huh" said the Deer. Then
without saying another word he
lifted his head up high and stepped
over the Terrapin. and he turned
right around and stepped right back
over him again.
The Terrapin didn't like that. and
they had a long dispute as to which
could beat the other. At last they
agreed to have their race.
They agreed to run across four
mountain ridges. and the one that
should cross the fourth one first,
should be the winner.
On the day before the race the
Deer said to the Terrapin, You
know that you can't run. and you
can never win thiS race. so I'll give
you the first ridge. and you'll have
only three to cross while l go over
four"
The next day all of the animal peo-
pie were there to see the race. The
Deer took his place ready to start.
But the Terrapin had gone ahead
toward the second ridge as they had
arranged. and they could hardly see
him through the tall grass. Pretty
soon the Bear gave the word to start
The Deer ran on down the mountain
and nearly up to the top OF the next
ridge. But when he looked up again.
there was the Terrapin just going
over the top.
This surprised the Deer and he made
his longest jumps to catch up. But
when he got 10 the top there was
the Terrapin again away over the
third ridge. just climbing over II.
By this time the Deer was getting
tired and nearly out OF breath. But
he kept on going as fast as he could.
Down the mountain side he went,
and up toward the next ridge.
And there he was just in time to see
the Terrapin climb over the fourth
ridge, and so, win the race.
But il was easy the way the Terra
pin did 1t. for all the Terrspin's uncles
and cousins looked just like him, and
he posted one OF them near the top
of each ridge to wait till the Deer
came in sight; then he would climb
over 1t and hide in the grass. When
he came up he couldn't find the Terra
pin. and so he thought the Terrapin
was ahead.
The real Terrapin had placed him.
self on the fourth ridge so as to come
out at the end OF the race. So he won.

sand, instead of lashing its gaunt
sides; and its eye. though it wandered
at times to Glaucus, rolled again
listlessly from him. At length, as II

with a moan into its cage, and once
