Consider a country as big as the
Atlantic states from Florida to New
York, with the capital near the south
ern boundary. having population of
more than 10000 inhabitants, of whom
only about psr cent are white, and
you have Mozambique, Portuguese
colony in Africa to the south of what
was German East Africa, says bull
letin of the National Geographic So
ciety.
Mozambique is one of the Oldest OF
all European possessions, and one OF
the richest in agricultural possibilities,
but is one of the least known countries
in the world. There are five towns
and small, up-to-date capital city,
with a number Of military posts and
outpOsts., There are no deserts, salt
sinks, swamps or mountainous wastes.
The colony is altogether inhabited by
about twenty tribes.
Among the curious customs of the
land Is the wearing of rattles by the
girls on their ankles at dances. Hol.
low spheres are made of palm leaf OF
grass and are partially filled with large
seeds or pebbles. The noise Of these
ankle rattles is supposed to assist liz

AS Bryce Cardigan hung up, he
heaved a slight sigh. 1t was difficult
to get out of the habit of playing; he
found himself the possessor of very
great desire to close down the desk,
call on Shirley Sumner, and spend the
remainder of the day basking in the
sunlight of her presence.

rage committed on his fathers sanctu-

liable time and effort in futile en-

of the identity of the vandals; but
despairing at last, he dismissed the
matter from his mind, resolving only
that on Thursday he would go up
into Pennington'S woods and interview
the redoubtable Jules Rondeau.
Bryce's natural inclination was to
wait upon M. Rondeau Immediately,
If not sooner, but the recollection of
his dinner engagement at the Penning-
ton home warned him to proceed
cautiously; for while harboring no
apprehensions as to the outcome of a
possible clash with Rondeau, Bryce
was not so optimistic as to believe he
would escape unscathed from an en-
counter.
Colonel sPennington's pompous i'm

into the Pennington living room at

ceremony. Shirley rose from the piano

she turned to present her visitor to

OF Sequoia, owner of mills, ships,
and many acres of timber, wild

life, and father of two-day-old
Bryce Cardigan. At fourteen Bryce
makes the acquaintance of Shirley

his junior by few years. Together
they visit the Valley of the Giants,
sacred to John Cardigan and his
son as the burial place Of Bryce's
mother, and part with mutual re-

John Cardigan meets with heavy

meets Shirley Sumner, on her way
to Sequoia to make her home there
with her uncle, Colonel Pennington.
Bryce learns that his fathers eye

"The mad-train runs over your

on Sunday, and 1t leaves Sequoia at

people disturb us we can get even
with them"
Just then they heard some sounds.
"It's this way, this way" said a
voice.
"It's not, it's that way, that way"
said another voice.
"It's over the brook, over that big
log" said another.
"Now be ready" said one of the
yellow jackets.
'Be ready" said another
"We're all ready" they buzzed
softly.
"Be very quiet" another said. "We
want to surprise them. We want to
give them real surprises. Surprises
are so nice"
And then over the log came two
children. They put their hands on
the log to jump over it and then out
came the yellow jackets. How they
stung the two children. The other
children had gone in different direc-
lions.
The children were having a paper
chase. Two had led the chase and
had tried to put in as many false
trails as possible to make it very
trail of the scraps of paper had to be
found again before the children would
be on the right trail.
Every one was going in pairs and
the pair that came in first would win
the prize.
Well, two of them had felt that the
right trail led over the log. 1t wasn't
the right one after all And the chill
dren had to go back and hurry so as
to find the right trail as they wanted
to be the first in
But oh, how the yellow jackets, the
mean, mean yellow jackets stung.
'Buzz, buzz, buzz" they said, '1et
us sting them, their faces, their
hands, their hands which ran right
into our long nest"
And another said:
"They didn't see our nest and they
didn't see us for they didn't want to
disturb us-that was true enough
but they did disturb us and we'll give
it to them"
Now the children didn't dare take
the time to put mud on all the stings
they had received. And at that the
yellow jackets rejoiced, for, as they
said:
1--WE hate that old Doctor Mud. He
is entirely too fond of helping to get
rid of the stings we give. He is a
helper to the children but hindrance
to us. 1t is fine that they didn't take
the stime to stop for Doctor Mud, but
went right on"
The two children who had gone
right into the yellow jackets nest by
mistake won the paper chase and
won it by a very wonderful race in
the end. They found the right trail
after little and number of others
were on 1t, too, and so at the finish
there had to be regular running race
to see who would get in first.
But afterwards the stings of the
yellow jackets made their faces and
their hands swollen and they both said
that of all the creatures they knew
the meanest were the yellow jackets.
And the yellow jackets were buzzing
and saying:
"Oh, how we hope it is singing
them good and proper now! How we
hope all our bites and nibbles are
making them suffer"
And another yellow jacket said:
"They may be almost crying with
the burning now. How fine and happy
q thought that Is"
Another yellow jacket said:
"Ah, to sting is our delight,
"And we sting with all our might"
