BOB MARSHALL IN
AFRICAN JUNGLE
CHAPTER |.

My fathers young friend. Bob
Marshall, was picking his way
through a South African jungla
when he paused upon a striking but
characteristic scene.
A beautiful leopard had run q
short distance up the sloping trunk
of fallen tree, and then turning
about on a large projecting limb.
faced pack Of hyenas that were
eager to attack him, but afraid TO
do so. One rash fellow yentured
nigh enough to receive a cuff from
the defenders paw which knocked
him a dozen feet away and caused
him to keep safe distance there
after, while the others were equally
careful Of those sharp claws and
teeth.
Bob was inclined to raise his
Winchester and fire upon the cow
ardly assailants, but he finally
moved off without doing so.
The leopard wouldn't appreciate
my interference" was the thought
oil the youth, and | don't believe he
needs it. anyway"
Bob was on his way back to camp
as the sultry day was drawing to a
close and he kept close watch for
danger.
II can't see anything" he said to
himself, holding his rifle for instant
use, but | have been in this dark
continent long enough to know that
is no proof that am not in peril"
The listening ear caught the
sounds of the myriad birds fitting
exuberantly among the branches
overhead, and now and then The
deep resonant tones of some animal
warned him that he was liable at
any moment to be brought face to
face with some fierce denizens of
the wilds, always eager to fly at any
intruder.
1t was in growing conviction that
something was stealthily following
him which tried the nerves of Job
Marshall, for it is the unseen that
tests ones bravery since, so long as
it remains unseen it remains un
known, and imagination gives it a
form and substance tenfold more
fearful than reality.-[To be con

he was about to close his eyes for

sorcerers of eastern countries were
/ teachers of conduct.
Conduct is the science of be-
havi0r, and its value lies in decid-
ing what we ought to do that is best
for ourselves. and what we ought
to do that is best for others. That
was exactly what Magic was for.
, And the way in which this was
done was TABOO! Which simply
means, you mustn't"
1t Is hard to believe that savage
peoples, and the peoples of long
ago, had so many "musn'ts." You
mustn't name a tiger, or he might
come and eat you; you mustn't
wear or touch anything red; you
mustn't touch food with unwash ed
hands, or the chief would put you
to death; if you scratched your
finger, you mustn't eat with the
family till the scratch was healed;
a boy mustn't touch baby; a girl
mustn't touch spear, one mustn't
be seen cutting ones nails; one
mustn't eat fish which had been
caught when the west wind was
blowing; you mustn't even nurse
the sick if the moon were shining;
nor eat anything for two days if you
had seen shooting star. We have
a few rules of conduct today, but
if you want to realize in what a
state of terror savages live. just
find out what a crowd of things
there were that they mustn't do.

Shipwrecked

Palmer Carson was a young boy
IA years of age. He was born in
Ohio. Although only IA years Of
age. he could easily have passed
for a man 4 years his senior He,
like many other boys his age,
wanted to sail the seas. Once, he
had been down by the seashore
and watched the ships as they
sailed over the horizon, and ever
since he had had a longing to sail
with them.
One day he decided to run away.
SO, after packing up few belong
ings. he started toward somewhere
on the Atlantic. He reached his
destination, at Savannah, where
he met man, captain on the
ship Johnston, Scott by name

and needing men, asked him if he
didn't want job on the ship. Now
this was what he had been looking
for and, without asking any ques-
lions, he Immediately said yes. He
was then taken aboard the ship
and made the cooks helper. He
didn't like this job, the sea, or the
hard board he had to sleep on, and
he was ready to quit as soon as they
reached America again
One night a big storm came up
and the ship was thrown out of its
course They were 1000 miles at
sea when the storm came up. An
hour after they had been hit by the
storm the batteries failed and the
lights went out. The men on board
were terrified and confusion fol-
lowed. Then the ship hit rocks and

The Runaway

Last summer | was at my aunt S

We were going to walk, but my
uncle told US to get in the wagon;
and so we did. We were trotting
merrily down the road, when all at
once, the horses began to fly

ter. Finally we stopped because
my uncle had run the horses into a
little grove Of trees. 1t broke one

matter. While the horses had been

Clever Sketches by
Byron Bond Shown

Two pictures. sketched by Byron
Bond, have been attracting much al
tentiOn from passersby in the win
dow of Thistlethwaite's drug store
on North Eighth street, where they
are exhibited
One is a most natural looking
representation of North Eighth and
E streets, including the corner
where these streets meet, Fort
Wayne avenue. The sketch is in
good proportion and the workman
ship throughout seems to be very
good. The other sketch is the head
of Senator Harding, the Republican
nominee for president of the United
States, This, too, is lifelike, or at
least, photograph-like 1--WE have
never seen the man himselD and
can easily be recognized before the
name is read.
Byron lives at 211 North Eighth
street and has been interested in
sketchng for a long time. Two
other boys interested in the same
line, who accompany Byron on
sketching trips are Walter Van
Etten and Charles Surrender.

Lights for the Farm

The first thing one thinks of in con- nection with electricity on the farm is light in the house and barns, and yet farmers who have installed electricity find that one of the most useful lights on their places is an outside light.
 In a great many instances farm build tngs are so arranged that a single light can be used to illuminate all the ground between the house and the barns. Quite generally it is found that a windmill tower, the peak of the roof of one of the buildings, or other ready-made sup port offers the best location for the light. An enamelled reflector is used, which in- sures the even and strong distribution of all of the light from the lamp over the area where it is needed. Switches to con- trol the light are placed both in the house and in the barn, that is, the light is wired so that 1t can be turned on or off from either the house or the barn. It is this feature which makes this particular light valuable to the farmer. He drives into the barn yard at night with the lights on his car turned on, switches on the yard light when he gets out to open the garage doors, and thus is able to " ak up to the house over a path that he can see all the way. If the season de- mands that he get up before dawn or if there is a sudden necessity for his go- ing to the barn in the middle of the night he does not nave to md and Ight lan- tern. A touch of button and the whole barnyard is flooded with light Powerful lights are used for this kind of lighting, 75 to 100 watts, and yet the cost of burn- ing them is less than a half cent an hour.
 The low cost of such lighting, and it's is due to the great develop ment of farm electric plants during the last few years. Today the farmer can have electric service from a plant that is low in cost, reliable and remarkably simple in operation.
