Come with me. little parrot" he said.
"You and l will be comrades" and he
picked the little bird up and placed her
upon his shoulder, and ruen off he went
in the darkness And by and by they
came to a forest. SO Puss climbed up
into a tree and the little parrot perched
herself on a limb, and there they slept
till morning came, And. OH dear me
Weren't they hungry when they woke
Upl But theer was nothing to eat ex-
cept some herbs and nuts. Come, let
us look for a house." said Puss Junior,
and he ran down a path that led through
the forest, and by and by he stopped
In front Of hollow tree where sat a
little old man of the wood. He was
dressed in a green suit and on his head
was a high peaked hat.
1--WE are very hungry" said Puss,
stroking the parrot. Il have money to
pay for food"
"Sit down." said the dwarf. And then
he went inside the hollow tree and pretty
soon he came back with q tray covered
with white cloth, on which was spread
delicious food And when Puss and the
parrot had eaten their fill the little
dwarf said: Take the napkin with you.
1t is a magic one. Say to it, BE COW
cred with food and drink and your
command will be obeyed."
Take this in return" said Puss, and
he handed the dwarf a magic ring. And
then Puss and his feathered friend went
upon their way, and after going a lit
tie distance they heard a voice singing.
"Oh, I'm so hungry l could eat
A peppermint stick of forty feet,
A layer cake as big as a house,
And chocolate coated caramel mouse"
"Now's a good chance to use our magic
napkin" said Puss. who's singing 2"
he asked. But whoever you are, come
here and you shall have your WISH" and
Puss spread his magic napkin on the
ground and said: please be covered
with a peppermint stick, a layer cake
and a chocolate mouse" And next time
you shall hear what happened after that

THURSDAY.

The entire morning was consumed In
fitting out the Browns, with the help of
few neighbors. to make the trip across
town to the home of their relatives.
Mrs. Hooper kept a big trunk in the
attic In which she carefully folded away
such garments as could no longer be used
by the members of her family, and while
there was never great deal in 1t, when
ever an emergency call came she knew
just what she had at her disposal in the
trunk without having to search the house
and clothes closets and bureau drawers
looking for something that might be
contiscated from their own wardrobe.
in the afternoon the time at Mrs. Hoop
er's disposal for shopping was so short
that she decided to buy Rogers shoes,
which had to be done that day or she
would miss the sale, and let the purchase
Of the material for Helen's dress go I'M
til later, when she wouldn't be so hur-
ried She met Roger when school was
out and they went together to select his
shoes and have them carefully fitted,
Those she was buying for him today
were stout winter shoes that We're being
sacrificed to make room for the new
spring stock and as he would not be
wearing them until late next fall it was
very necessary that they should be fitted
with the idea that his foot might grow
larger in six months. She succeeded in
finding for $3.50 splendid pair of shoes
that were worth twice the money, and
would be all ready to be worn without
the bother Of shopping for them in the
early winter, when getting a bargain in
that type of shoe would be out of the
question
Some soft collars for Henry were
found at Is cents apiece, and Roger
bought a new battery for the electric
bell which he was to fix on Saturday.
On the way home the market was Wis
tied for a supply of fruits for the re-
miander of the week, and to tell the fish
man to save some fresh halibut and oys-
ters for dinner tomorrow.
Mrs Hooper stopped for a moment 10
inquire about the health Of the little
Briggs girl, who had been Ill for over q
week, and was told by the mother of the
child that nothing seemed to agree with
her and that she was losing weight every
day.
II think you really ought to have the
doctor, Mrs. Briggs said Mrs. Hooper

and then you can stick to it until she gets
strong again"

Receivers Speech With
Ether Treatment

BOSTON, March 23.-Robbed Of his
speech by falling from a bed at the
Deer Island immigration station, where
he is being detained on a question OF
citizenship, Ernest Young a former Brit
ish aviator, is again able to talk as
result of the administration Of ether by
Dr. Albert Murphy Of the Long Island
medical staff.
Young, who is q years old, and the
son of a wealthy Scotchman. was stricken
dumb during the war as a result Of being
shot down behind the German lines. He
regained his speech after spending some
time in a German prison camp, from
which he escaped.
He came to this country as an engineer
on a shipping board boat. Arriving in
Boston from New York he was picked up
by the immigration officials, failing to
have citizenship papers and sent to Deer
Island pending a decision in his case.

But there was one other who might sue
coed where We had failed.
Phoebe had loved Neal once-loved him
devotedly. There was no doubt Of that.
Child love, perhaps. but sincere and true
and good. She had come to the city
lonely and hungry for life. Friendship
and excitement and love were the things
she had wanted.
So Phoebe had failed in her first search
the search for friendship.
Then, before she could begin searching
anew for the second thing her youth
craved-gayety-Ne had come. And he
had bought her the gift that held in It
self the sum of all her longings-love.

They didn't know it, but even then those

Neal had brought her the great gift
of all. and Phoebe had forgotten the
lesser gifts.

him to work hard to help Neal get his

became extinct hundreds Of years ago,
probably soon after the Maoris first came
TO the country. Some scientists hold to
the theory that the mOa was gone be-
fore the Maoris landed, but the fact
that bones of the giant bird have been
found in cave along with cooking uten-
sis and other articles indicate that the
Maori wiped out the moa by killing
the birds for food and to obtain feathers
for decorating his garments.
There were several species Of moa,
ranging from the size of a turkey to a
dozen feet In height, with leg bones like
that of an elephant. 1t looked like an
ostrich or an envy. but had no wings
and its weight apparently hung so far
forward of the thighs that the bird must
have stood up very straight when in
motion, presenting an awe-inspiring
sight. Feathers of the moa have been
found in quantities In both the North and
South islands of New Zealand aud are
more like the feathers OF the emu than
any other bird Apparently the birds
still thrived in the South island long
after they had disappeared from the
North island-another bit of evidence in
support of the theory that the Maoris
killed off the moa, for the Maoris al
ways have lived mostly in the North
island.

Can You Make
Cracking Bread?

Do you know the secrets of corn pone,
corn dOdger, hoe-cske, ash cake, spoon
bread?
The wisdom of the old darky nanny
in making such corn meal dishes has
been put into free booklet by the De-
partment of Agriculture.
To what she has contributed to corn
meal lore have been added recipes for
corn meal fish balls, corn meal pple,
apple corn bread, Boston brown bread,
the Italian dish polenta- Mexican tomales,
savOry sauce, batter pudding, dumbltngs
and many others.
Besides this, the Government shows
how corn meal scratches the intestines
and invigorates them; 1t points the way
to economy through the use of this, the
nations biggest crop.

Bureau will secure a copy for any one

hides, wool. fax and articles made from

Most Of the material Is shipped In its
raw state, but Auckland has rope and
twine factories and other industries on
q small scale for home supply. In sugar
rehneries on the shores of the bay Auck-
land has the one source of sugar supply
for the whole Dominion. Lately factories
for the making of foodstuns from grain
have been erected. The pipe clay which
is so plentiful in the peninsula provides
the raw material for the brick and tile
aud pottery industries Of Auckland.
Quantities OF fruits-oranges lemons.
olives, apples and peaches-are raised in
tina vicinity Of Auckland. Gold mines
and sulphur mines and a few mines
which produce coal Of fair quality only
are located within few miles.
To person who has read any OF the
early history OF New Zealand Auckland
offers scores Of interesting spots-scenes
of famous battles, sites of buildings
noted In the stories Of other days (many
Of which are still standlng), relics of
Maori life in their savage days, and so
on. l found one Of the most interesting
places to be the Auckland museum. 1t

rich in things which In the future will

Of New Zealand life is represented and

} and tea, is set out at 10 p. m, and the
guest who by any chance feels hungry
can help himself. Yet the charge for
room and food is only about $3.50 a
day.
Drinking is quite common. The
pubs" as saloons are known here, close
at o'clock, but in the hotels the bar
tender will continue to serve customers
openly through a little door in the bar
proper and is quite within the law, al
though he would not be permitted to
serve anything over the bar. The SAL
Walton Army is quite strong in Auckland
and within the last few years has es-
tablished the only cure for inebriates in
the whole dominion upon two islands
purchased by the organization. The
government apparently appreciates the
danger of drink and cooperates with the
Salvation Army to the extent that, at
the discretion Of the magistrates, habit
ual drunkards may be sentenced to take
the cure for a year instead Of going to
Jail.
Oper and promiscuous drinking seems
quiet in contrast with the Puritanical OBJ
servance of the Sabbath in a city which
requires street cars to stop during
church hours lest the worshippers be
disturbed by unseemly noises.
New Zealanders are proud of their
cOuntry's reputation for health, but the
sick in Auckland are well taken care of
at both public and private hospitals that
are said to be up to date and modern in
equipment. The government maintains
homes for the blind, the insane and for
war veterans, a maternity hospital for
ia antilles of small means, while charitable
organizations provide for orphans and
other unfortunates.
My greatest surprise has been the
weather. January in New Zealand IS
equivalent to our July and in Auckland
the thermometer has stood around 70 de-
grees, the breeze has been gentle and
cooling and there has not been a night
when you could not sleep under two
blankets AMI feel perfectly comfortable,
while if you lost the covers in the night
the balmy sir would not be unpleasant
without covering. l am told that in win
ter Auckland rarely has temperatures
below 40 degrees above zero, while the
hottest summer days are seldom above
So degrees. The weather alone makes up
great deal for the annoyance Of having
to climb hill wherever you go.
