CHAPTER vi.

About four o'clock In the afternoon
the Bumblebee passed Farnum's Land
ing. and later touched at Bethpage
Landing. From the crest of the high
embankment was an endless view of
spreading cane fields. The Generals
house stood In the midst of old trees
near half a mile from the river. Lead
ing from the landing was road in the
perpetual shade of low-branching live
oaks. Along the road wild poppies
blazed in patches Of sunlight, and in
blood. In clumps of feathery grasses
insects sang. while from everywhere
came the low and drowsy murmur of
the cane.
Drace was enchanted with the scene,
the sweet air. Beside him Shottle
long-legged his way, his neck stretched
out
'Yonder comes Uncle Howard. the
General" he said.
Toward them. with a slow but firm
and emphatic step. came tall, spare,
erect old gentleman; and as he drew
nearer, Drace saw that he wore mus
tache and whiskers trimmed neatly
down to sharp point. The soldier
within him predomlnated. the profess
sional soldier, who is often gentler
and more kindly than the volunteer.
: Shottle hailed him, and he quickened
his pace.
"Well. well, Liberty Shottle! Wei
come, sir, and your friend"
"Uncle. this is Virgil Drace. my best
friend"
The old man Strengthened. held out
both his hands and made Liberty's
friend welcome most Hospitality.
Now they walked toward the house,
the General with his hand on Braces
arm. Over the yard fence poured
stream Of hounds, and an old 'possum-
dog "barked up Shottle as II he had
treed. The double hallway doors stood
OPEN The General conducted Drace
into the library. a room that looked
big enough for tennis court. Then
he hastily withdrew, and Shottle
spoke:

her. No hickory tree sap is any sweet
er than her disposition. She was a

SPECIAL DAINTIEs FOR LENT
How Risors Of the Season Of Fasting
Were AiIeviated in the "Good
Old Days"
(To be Continued)

Our ancestors were In the habit Of
observing Lent with such strictness
that they promoted the fish industry
almost as greatly as they did their
own spiritual welfare. But their re-
ligious zeal did not altogether discour-
age their epicurean taste, and certain
particularly palatable ways of prepar-
ing fish became great delicacies.
Herring pie tickled the fancy even
of royalty. Tie city Of Yarmouth.
England, was bound, by an ancient
charter, to make the king an annual
present of 100 herrings baked In "a
pies, and certain gentlemen in the
reign of Edward l held their land by
tenure Of supplying these same dain-
ties for the royal table. Lampreys
were also a favOrite Lenten dish.
These became SO popular that they
formed the subject of various royal
edicts, and DEGREES, and the city of
Gloucester gained great renown
through the excellence of its prepared
lamprey product. The whale, the por-
poise, the grampus and the sea-wolf,
while not exactly fish, were considered
fishy enough to be suitable for Lenten
consumption, and great prices were
paid for especially toothsome morsels
of these animals.

to the expressionless countenance of
men merciless in vivisection. Luck at
first had cajoled him, let him swell
the fifty he had obtained to near five
hundred, but yellow-looking swab of
whiskers entangled with him and
leeched him down to twenty-five.
Shottle looked at him, his caterpillar
eyebrows. heard his slight hacking
cough, his request for glass of Ice
water, and said to himself:
Zone of these days may have
chance to set fire to you as I would
any other patch of dead grass"
Slowly and with an economy painful
for him to practice. Shottle with many
ups and downs built up again toward
two hundred; but at length in the aft
ernoon an old citizen who sat high
and. who looked like a steer, hooked
him and horned him broke
Shottle came stumbling over the
doorsill and found Drace in conver-
sation with Major Pewitt and william
Hawkins. With wink the Major
enjoined a humorous silence. and
mutely they sat attendant on the los
er's mood. Shottle sat down, took out
card, wrote on it, put 1t back into
his pocket, tapped his teeth with the
pencil and spoke:

whenever do. 1t becomes a law Of my
being. 1t has just been enacted and
recorded that never again on this earth

course for the future"
II congratulate you. But what are

II will drag a surveyors chain and

Or, If compelled to be humber, I can

With his pencil Shottle slowly
tapped his teeth.

orally comes from one as much af-
fiicted as yourself. But no matter.
Cold water chllls, but at the same time

he ceased padding to look. Slowly
he drifted toward the islands shore.
He took hold Of cane root and pulled
the nose Of the canoe hard into the
bank. Then he got out, parting the
stir and stubborn cane in a shade as
dense as night. But now through this
parting hallway he could see sunlight
beyond, and knew that he was about
to come into an open space. And out
into 1t he looked with start; for
there, few feet from the edge of the
fringe Of cane, stood small house
made Of minute shells cemented-peri-
wrinkles. Its roof was of thatch, the
long rushes gathered from the swamp;
and about the door was cypress vine,
Its red blooms dazzling in the sun.
And then a bended cane Drace held

CIRCUS AT Triton
ON OCTOBER goth

DO yu know how the circus came
about If you don't, why we will tell
you very briefly little of its history.
SO that when the Hagenbeek, Wallace
Circus arrives to exhibit in Triton on
Friday afternoon, October goth, YOU
will know little of how it came about
and see the vast improvements.
The word circus has come down to
us from the Latin without changing,
meaning circle and was used by the
Romans to indicate the place in each
city where chariot races, gladiatorial
contests and feats of skill were held.
Among the sports were those men
toned above, with contests on horse
back and combats with wild beasts in
which the animals fought among them
selves or with men. The prizes given
to the victors were often valuable and
the honors great.
Julius Caesar had bitches dug
around the circus and. filled them with
water. This served the purpose of
protecting the spectator from a sud
den leap of wild beast. Today the
public is protected by strongly built
cages, into which the trainer enters
alone with the animals.
In short, circus in those days was
an exhibition of skill and so it has
come down to the present day. In
the exhibition offered by the Hagen
beck-Wallace Circus there is shown
the skill of the animal trainers, the
skill of the .aerialists, the skill of the
acrobat; nothing but demonstration
of the marvellous skill of famous per-
formers and trainers in an offering of
daring and bewildering feats, that
even the Romans would be anxious to
see, if the same exhibition had been
given centuries ago.
So it is seen that the time-worn
phrase, Every Circus is Alike" is
wrong, for as the years pass on i'm
provements follow improvements and
this year Hagenbeck-Wa1lace Circus
promises to give performance to ex-
eel all previous efforts.
