is wonderfully developed in all Mar

were soon within sight Of our goal.

warriors stood.
As l reached their side a glance
showed me that all but very few
eggs had Matched, the incubator being
fairly alive with the hideous little
devils. They ranged In height from
three to four feet, and were moving

The chariots were large, commo.

II was quite apparent that the vessel

herself sufficiently to escape.

was finely chiseled and exquisite, her
eyes large and lustrous and her head
surmouDted by q mass Of cOal-black,
waving hair. caught loosely into a
strange yet becoming coifrure. Her
skin was Of light reddish copper
color, against which the crimson glow
of her cheeks and the ruby Of her
beautifully nodded lips shone with Q

She was as destitute Of clothes as
the green MartIans who accompanied
her; indeed. save for her highly
wrought ornaments she was entirely
naked, nor could any apparel have

 T once heard you say you preferred blonds. I'm not really blond Don't you think you may be sorry later?'
 NO matter what I might do to you will you ever say anything to hurt mel"
 Are you sure you would never marry again if I died?"
 Thus catechized by HER, HIS turn comes-
 Are you sure you can always love a big brute like mel"
 If a rich and handsome man came along and courted you would you still stick to me?'
 T heard you say you liked slim, dark men. I'm fat and have red hair. Are you sure you won't be sorry?"
 Yes, I swear, no matter what may come. you'll always be my little tootsey wootsey and I'll always call you Bab."
 And so on came the questions and vows that satisfactorily settled forever the matters of greatest importance in the lives of both No wonder they say marriage is a lottery.

When Sammy Jay looked down from the tree in Farmer Browns dooryaru and saw Unc' Billy 'Possum curled up asleep in a wire-covered box, and In another box just like it the lost baby of Johnny Chuck eating sweet, tender young clover, Sammy just screamed Yes, sir, he just screamed, and 1t was because he was so delighted to find Unc' Billy and the little Cruck alive He screamed so loud that he walked Unc' Billy.
 Unc' Billy 'Possum knew that voice. and he began to grin even before he got his eyes open- When he did get them open and looked up he grinned more broadly than ever. Sammy Jay flew down to the lowest branch of the tree.
 what are you doing there, Unc' Billy 'Possum? Why don't you go home instead of letting Mrs. 'Possum worry herself almost sick because she doesnt t know what has become of you? he demanded.
 Unc, Billy grinned more than ever. If yo' will be so kind as to show me how Ans gwine to get out, Brer Jay, An cert'nly will go home right smart quick" said he Ans getting power ful homesick mahself."
 Sammy Jay looked foolish. If he had stopped to think he would have known at once that Unc' Billy was a prisoner.
 'rWhat-what can I do for you, Unc' Billy?' asked Sammy. Isn't there something I can do for you?" Unc' Billy scratched his head thoughtfully for a few minutes. Yo' might just drop round by nah hollow tree in the Green Forest and tell ol Mrs. 'Possum where her oP man is, Brer Jay. and why he doesn't come | home" said he. Tell her that she needn't worry because Ah has enough | to eat and drink, and some day some how, An done gwine to get out of here, and then Ah'n come home right smart And yo' might just drop round to Johnny Chuck's and tell him that his lost baby is safe. and that Farmer Browns boy is treating him right nice. Johnny Chuck would like to know It."
 l Sammy Jay nodded. Just then the back door of Farmer Browns house | flew open and Mrs. Farmer Brown came out. She startled Sammy Jay
 so that he spread his wings and | started for the Green Forest in great | hurry. But as he flew he screamed | T will will! I will" at the top of his lungs, and Unc' Billy gave satisfied

Chrystobel Lorimer was depressed. My husbands twin sister did not often permit her moods to rule her. Usually her great vitality her good cheer and her energy were a reproach to mo- seemed weak. restless, purposelesS, compared to my sister-in-law.
 One March morning when the weather was most unreasonable, being as balmy as . rare June day. Chrys stopped at my bungalow and insisted that I wander with her through the Lorimer park.
 The first tramp in the spring across the great estate is one of the joys of the year to me. I save it to share with Bob annually, and was about to de- cline Chrys' invitation when I per- ceived that she was looking amazingly dejected. So I set out with her, taking my camera along and hoping for at least one successful shot at some har- binger of spring. Chrys soon spoiled my bird hunting.
 "Jane, I'm perfectly wretched!" she confessed abruptly.
 I'm hard to convince-this fine day." I replied cheerfully. You're known as the happiest of all of us girls"

 You're all wrong. my dear. I'm merely too sophisticated to trust the enduring quality of mans love! I suppose that's what you're trying to say. Jamie. You girls think i'm so well poised that I can always control my thoughts, and turn my mind away from love at will! That I'm strong enough to use all the love within me for some glorious social good!
