They came to the famous old Pont
Neuf, the ancient bridge over the
Seine, with the rows of bookstalls
along the marge of the ri~ver--closed
now, like things asleep. The air
grew chill, and Polly Rugged her
cloak around her. Barray's arm
seemed warm and comforting in the
cold, lonely dark.
Polly looked to the east. Was that
a streak of gray? No-impossible, it
was not yet A. At what time did
dawn break anyhow.
She heard an odd sound-Clop-
clop, clop-clop, cluppetty-clup, clup-
petty-clup, heavy and measured and
homely sounding. She looked round
inquiringly, Barray too, amused at
her eagerness.

dug in a bank TO allow for drainage in

stones, TO hold the heat. Build hard
wood fire in and above the hole and
keep it going till the stones arc very
hot lat least a balf-hour). Rake out
most Of the hot Goals, and ashes, and
put in the pot containing the beans
and water; the pot should be covered
tightly. Now heap ashes on top Of the
pot-cover, then live wood-coals. Roll
stone over the mouth of the hole and
leave the pot there tall you think ~
contents are cooked For very long
cooking, you will need FIRE on the
earth over the closed hole. Beans will
require four or FIVE hours at least, With

more to him than his beautiful tail. ;"
Mr.. Rooster flew TO the top of the
stone wall and crowed loudly. but all
the time he kept his eye on Mr.. Pea
cock walking down the road.
The hens and chickens ran toward
the gate and started to follow, when
from behind a. rock down the road
they saw old Mr. Fox jump out.
Mr.. Peacock had his tail spread
wide, but when he saw Mr.. Fox he
gave cry such as no one around there
had ever heard before, a hard, graf
ing scream, and, dropping his beau
tiful plumage, Mr.. Peacock few to a
place of safety.
But he was safe, anyway, for Mr..
Fox had never heard such a noise and
he did not stop to take MIR. Peacock
with him. He Just ran fast for home
Mr. Rooster on the wall crowed

ger of walking down the road as you
do. Your tail when spread will be a
great drawback to you if Mr.. Fox
should chance along. So if l were in
your place l would not spread it when
you walk down the road"
"He is jealous of me because his
family always follow when l walk
abroad and spread my beautiful tail, -
thought Mr.. Peacock. "Well, l can't
help being handsome. l am sorry for
him with those skimpy-looking tail
