BRAVE DEATH OF ALBATROSS

Although Coleridge does not clearly
ditferentiate between the two varieties
of albatross, prefer 70 think he meant
the great white short tailed bird in
his tale of the "Ancient Mariner"
The "goonie," as fishermen call the
smaller, dusky, backfooted bird, is
almost what might be termed sociab!e.
BY their account he is even obliging.
He heads the whales up toward the
harbor in exchange for the gleanings
they allow him from the boats--a sort
of seagoing collie dog. But the big
bird is solitary creature, avoiding the
path of vessels, living and dying on
the vast, lonely desert of the sea.
Some chance we may not divine

mandible had been snapped short-in

the fact it was already half healed

yelled in glee. This show was funnier
than the circus itself.
Some bird He ought to be in our
circus" gasped the head trainer.
''How much did that meat cost your
asked Billy, who hadn't intended for a
minute not to pay for the meat which
Judge Owl had taken.
ut cost twenty dollars" answered
the head trainer.
"Then here is twenty dollars for the
meat and two dollars extra for your
trouble" said Billy, counting out the
money from the sum he had taken in at
the gate. Now all you circus men can
come in and see our show free," he
added politely.
The circus men certainly were as
tonished when they saw how big Judgel
Owl was and how we'll he was trained.
While they were looking at him, the
uproar of the hungry animals in the
menagerie abruptly stopped short, only
to break out again louder than before.
"Yow -ow- -ow!" screamed the tiger
COW -ow -ow- -ow! I smell my supper
and I'm going after it. Ow-ow- -ow"
the scream came again, this time it was
closer.
The crowd around Judge Owl heard
it in alarm.
THE tiger is loose ~ cried the circus
men. At that moment the great, striped
body of the tiger flashed into view. One
great bound carried him over the fence
into the yard. Another carried him to
the top of the coal shed, from where he
looked down, snarling and showing his
teeth.
Meat! Fresh meat!" growled the
tiger, crouching as if about to leap into
the startled crowd.
Meat! Fresh meat" echoed Judgel
Owl With that he pounced on the tiger! !
gripping him with his claws and bear-'l
ing the astonished jungle beast into the
air.

Well, when I've got the only figures that

"Hoo! Hoo Too! Too This meat
IL is good !" screeched Judge Owl,
gobbling dcwn the supper of the circus
animals.

from the menagerie tent, "I'm hungry ~

Judge Owl, you take that meat right
back where it belongs" scolded Peggy,
frowning very severely at Judge Owl.
''Those circus animals need their sup

then winked at the audience which had
gathered in Peters back yard to see him
II am putting it where it belongs"
he chuckled. II need my supper more
than they do because I am bigger than
they are"
The audience laughed and laughed
when Judge Owl winked and said this.
They couldn't understand his talk, of
course, but they understood his wink
and his chuckle as he gobbled the meat.
They knew he had been in mischief and
had run away with some one else's sup
per.
The cries of the hungry circus animals
grew louder and more angry. They
wanted it right away, which wasn't
bit strange, as they. were given only
one real meal day and delay sharp

people, too, were angry. Led by the
manager in his high hat, the animal
