paid no attention to them. He didn't

Mother Bear. They talked together

bear went with him, and, of course,
Boxer and Woof-Woof tagged at

Once they met Old Man Coyote and
the twins noticed that the same look
Of fright was inshis eyes that they
saw in the eyes of Buster Bear and
Mother Bear. A few minutes later
they saw Lightfoot the Deer stand
ing with head held very high and in
his beautiful great gray eyes was
that same look of fear. He hardly
more than stepped aside for them to
pass.
Thereafter every one they met

The man who is particular about his
chop had best stay at home"
Mr. Barrett has made success of
wandering. He is one of the great
est of our agricultural experts. His
latest exploit is to teach the natives
OF the palm countries how to make
white sugar out of palm sap-which
they never knew before-by which
process 100000 tons of the finest su-
gar imaginable has been added to the
sugar total of the world. In all his
years of wandering in swamp and
jungle he has never been seriously Ill,
and he attributes this in part to the
fact that he can live at the local
table without repining.
"Cassava paste isn't very good. said
Mr.. Barrett, reminiscently. "It doesn't
taste like anything. and it is so sticky
that IL a man were to attempt to
chew it his Jaws might be clamped
together. or perhaps his teeth pulled

it, rolls it in gravy as lubricant,

The moral seems to be too wide
to cover a table. The man
who breeds an internal philosophy
which enables him to evade minor
worries can put his full weight
against the big problems.

charged with elusive emotion. He
was not sure of himself or of her

Only he was at once conscious that

was already shining out of her eyes.
She was at once more natural and
further removed from him.

her own, who acknowledges her

to fascinate him had passed away
