| HOMELESS PENGUINo.
II will tell you story this eve
ming" said daddy, about the home
less King Penguins.
"The story Is not to be u sad one
as You might Imagine at first. 1T is
simply to be a story Of the Mr.. King
Penguns and the Miss penguins who
never mated.
"They probably didn't care about
love.maklng and courtship like many
of the birds do, and they didn't wish
to be bothered with thinking Of feed
ing and bringing up the young, and OF
doing all the many things that they
would have to do If they had homes.
"Of course even without real nests
such as other birds might have they
would have to have all the difficulties
of home.making and they didn't think
the pleasures were worth the trouble
"They didn't think that the JOY OF
being loved and Of loving another was
worth all the fusslng and getting ready
for the young penglllns they would
have to do. And they didn't think
that any young penguin was worth all
the patience and trouble and time that
he would require.
"For he would have to be looked
utter and fed for SO long time. and
he would have to be taught how to
swim with his wings and how to 20
In the water and all of these things.
"And even II he would be so dear
and cunning, covered with soft down,
they didn't want all the trouble.
$50 these were the homeless King
Penguins. They weren't as wise as the
other penguins. They didn't know
how to get the greatest amount OF
pleasure out of life and they hadn't
the sense to know that nice things
and great pleasures and happiness
do not always come rushing at a
creature but that Il creature himself
or herself often must go 10 Il great
deal Of trouble for something worth
while
But these Penglins were fairly
happy even IL they did miss great
deal.
Every day they came out of the
sen during the middle of the day when
II was warmer and they took sun
baths on the beach.
Sometimes they would take maps
sitting up or standing up, or lying
down, and often with their heads I'M

CHAPTER XlV-contlnued.


AT 10 o'clock Webster accompanied
Mother jerks home In the carriage,
which he dismissed at III Buen Amigo
with Instructions to return to the
hotel while he continued afo0t down
the Gale San Rosario to the bay,
where Leber's huge corrugated Iron
warehouse doomed darkly above high
water mark. He slipped along in the
deep shadow Of the warehouse wall
and out on the end Of the little dock,
where he satisfied himself that lie.
ber's launch was at its mornings
then he went back to the warehouse
and whstled softly. whereupon man
crawled out from under the structure
and approached him. II was Don
Juan Cafetero.
They're all inside" he whispered
and laid finger on lip. "They got in
half an hour ago, an divil a sowl

DANIEL CARTER BEARD.
National Scout Commissioner, Leader
Of the Boy Scouts Of America Me-
mortal Pilgrimage to the Grave Of
Theodore Roosevelt, Which 10 to Be
an Annual Scout Event
the boys themselves said Commits
sloner Beard, who is Familiarity known
as "Uncle Dan" to the hundreds Of
thousands Of boy scouts. "The pilgrim
age to the tomb of Roosevelt was
lesson in patriotism Of the kind that
makes for better citizenship, which Is
a fundamental object Of the boy scout
movement. President Roosevelt had
all the picturesque qualities of boys
hero. He was an out-of-dOors man, n
buckskin man, explorer, true scout
of the old American type; beloved
by boys, and was always interested In
things boys are interested In. The
purpose is TO Impress upon the boys
that participated, and through them to
impress upon other boys those splen-
did qualities of character of Theodore
Roosevelt as shown by the events in
his life which 1t should be the aim Of
every American boy to follow. Ameri-
ca has produced no better man for
scouts to emulate"

Webster; consequently self-interest
and his sporting code whispered to
Don Juan that 1t behooved him to
demonstrate his loyalty with every
means at his command, even unto his
hearts blood.
"Wh0 knows" he cogitated MS the
launch bore him swiftly shoreward
but what I'll acquit meself with hon
or and get rine job undher the new
administration? 'Tls the masther's

With his Imagination still running
riot Don Juan made the launch fast
to the little dock, down which he
ran straight for the warehouse, where
the Ruey mercenarles were still CON
gregated, buslly wlplng the factory
grease from the weapons which had
just been distributed TO them from the
packing cases. A sharp voice halted
him, he paused, painting, to find him
self looking down the long blue bar

"Who ace you, and what are you

Without further ado Don Juan
climbed into the truck. A little cit
adel of sheet steel had been built |
around the drivers seat, with mar
row slit in front through which the
latter peered out. The body Of the |
truck had been boxed In with the same
material and housed two machine guns,

attached, and machine gun in each

er with half-dozen country carts
loaded with ammunition cases and

"How soon do we start?" Don Juan
demanded anxiously, as he crowded
in beside one OF his new-found com
rades.
II believe this individual replied
in the unmiStakable accents Of an Ok
ford man, that the plan Is to wait
until five O'clock; by that time all the
government troops that can be spared
