i there came a Frightened, disappointed wal a3 Jerry TiCcr. his face black wi'h anger snatched Roderiek from | the back, o' the old cavalry horse 1 deposited the child on the ground and gtalked away, leading his horse and whistling to tho collie, As he went. he picked up cago containing a small l pct raceoon.
 "Where you goin'a" Mary quav- cred
 I'm goin' tome, that's where I'm i goin ''' Jerry rctor.cd.
 "BIt hut--thc menageric and the riding horse"
 They're goin' right with me-" Jerry 1 declared, "I only come into this old show, and brought my things. because | Marion was in fl, and if shc ain't goin' to be in it, there's nothin' doin' with me or sly things"
 The most astute diplomat could have taken pattern by Marys quick shif, Of base, as she saw the neces ssity of yielding. "Are You QuIc Surc-?" 'Aw, don't be such silly .'' she said contcmptuously. Cant you or Marion take joke? l didn't mean anything by telling her that I'm sure I don't care how much she per forms Come on, Marion, come back You can perform anything you want to do. What do you want to do first ?''
 Marion's advance was as prompt as her retreat had been. And there was no rancor in her voice or manner as she answered cheerily:
 "I don't mind. I'd just as soon be audience for awhile. and take my turn later.'
 All right" Mary was the business like director again. You sit right over there" indicating a large stump, ''and we'll start the tumbling."
 The small girl and the brothers staged the usual stunts which athletic children who have seen big circus always initiate. They did them credit ably, but with nothing unusual about their execution. save the dramatic fire which Mary Harrison managed. to put into every trick she attempted. She lived every part completely. and her elfn face was like kaleidoscope in it's swift changes.
 Depend upon it, the world will hear from that girl when she grows up, if that fool mother of hers will only keep her hands off
 Lillian spoke musingly, and l real ized that even her interest in her own daughters triumph had been tempor- arily dwarfed by her altruistic admira- ton for this stronger child's ability.
 That is no doubt true" l retorted a bit peevishly. for 1 am not as big a woman as Lillian, and while my anger at Mary Harrison's rudeness and sell fishness had subsided, l was not vet in a frame of mind to admire anything about her But Marion can give her cards and spades in those stunts she's doing now, and still beat her, can't she?''
 Are you quite sure about that, Margaret" sulkily sweet voice said from the open door, and ] realized, as turned and saw my sister-in- law standing in the doorway, that my voice had been raised unnecessarily, and that she had heard every word I had said.

 New York, Feb, 1o.---Producers promised bigger and better" pictures for 1922. With one month gone, they are well on the way to keep their pledge
 The biggest and better pictures have predominated in the early re- leases. Among them are Orphans of the storm" Foolish Wives" Turn to the Right" "one Glorious Day" Three Live Ghosts" and "The Prodigal Judge"
 One might also include both the Paramount and Ntagraph versions of The Little Minister"
 The merit of some in the above list has been more in their "higgerness' than in their "betterness,'
 "The Prodigal Judge, the latest of the group, is both bigger and better.
 It is replete with thrils-kidnap- ping, murder, dueling, incendiary fire. houseboat caught in swiring rapids and other blood d-tingling epi- sodes.
 The usual feature of this is that the thrills seem to be woven into the natural pattern of the story with out breaking into the romantic se- 1uence Several notable character

RESTORING CjJNARD LINE
Hungarian Government to be Sought After That United States Shipping be Included in Trading.

Budapest, Feb. 13.--U. Grant Smith, the United States Charge d'Affairs in Hungary. is making representations to the Hungarian government that the United State Shipping Boards lines should be included among the licensed shipping companies.
 Before the war, Hungary exercised q preferential treatment by which all most all emigration traffic was in the hands of the Cunard line and attempts to restore this policy have been made since the war.
 Frank F; Ferris, of the United States Shipping Board, who was here some days ago, had a long discussion on the subject with members of the government, and if is expected that equal treatment will be secured for tho United States lines in the near future.

ON THE RAFT.

A board was floating along on the swollen waters of Black Greek. On it sat Master Meadow Mouse. He was very happy He was having his first ride, of any sort.
 This raft" he said to himself proudly: this raft belongs to me. I'll be a traveller. I'll see the world al least as far as the big willow at the lower end Of the meadow"
 He scarcely cared to go beyond the big willow. Beyond il lay another farm. And Master Meadow Mouse had never been off Farmer Greens place in his whole life. He feared thai he might not be able to find his way back if he ventured too far from home
 Soon he spied a friend on the bank of the creek. Master Meadow Mouse

 Tho person on the bank was one Of his many cousins. And when he caught sight of Master Meadow Mouse hc stared hard for few mo- mcnts. Then he shouted. Don t iump, I'll rescue you." He was al- ready running to the waters edge when Master Meadow Mouse stopped him.
 "I don't want 10 he rescued" he called I'm seeing the world"
 His cousin hurried along the bank, still watching tho strange sight.
 "It seems 10 me" he told Master Meadow Mouse; it seems to me that the world Is seeing you. Where

Geography of Planet Venus.

Venus appears to be a mountainous
world. Gray shadings may be seen at
times in the midst of high pressure
areas. Their positions and outlines
change with the shifting clouds, but
when composite drawing is made of
several observations they appear fixed
to the surface Of the planet. From the
fact that the darkest ones are also
the most often visible, it is inferred
that the gray spots are the masses Of
continents dimly visible.
The behavior of Venus storms also
confirms this belief They actually
shun the regions where dark shadings
are seen, and mainly keep to the
spaces between. Storms on earth find
1t VIGOROUSLY hard to cross divides Of
land. The Venusian seas seem to be
hot and steaming, and from their sur
faces rolling clouds Of vapors arise.
Venus shows phases like the moon.
She lies between us and the sun, and
so a portion of her night side is almost
always turned toward us.

Medicine Men.

In all times some degree of healing
power has been ascribed to the priest
hood. Medicine-men, mystery-men, sha-
mans, or by whatever name they might
be called, were to be found In every
tribe of North American Indians.
Some of these knew the medicinal
qualities of roots and herbs and prac-
iced rude surgery, and others were
takers" A medlcine-man of the
Walapai, Yuman tribe on the Colo
RADIO river, says John G. Bourke in an
article on the Apache medicine-men,
would cast bullet in a mold contain
ing small piece of paper The healer
would have an Indian fire this bullet
at him and the lead, because of the
paper, would split into pieces and do
him no harm.
Another would secretly fasten the
end of roll of slnew to a twig, swal-
low the ball and hold the twig between
his teeth. After the sinew had
softened and expanded because of the
heat and moisture of the stomach" the
magician would astound his friends

has "set the ocean on fire."
Equally untrue is it when we say
that steak Is as tough as leather"
the coffee "as cold as ice" or that the

CALLS FOR SOME DISCRETION
Power Of Attracting Birds May Be All
Right in the Country, but in
the City!

One of the best ways of attracting
birds, according to the authorities, Is
to place the lips to the back of the
nand and make violent kissing
sound.
Apparently this has some resem-
blance to the cries Of wounded bird /;
and, according to one of the bird books,
one may enter an apparently deserted
thicket and. after few minutes Of
this sort of thing, find oneself sur
rounded by an anxious or curious
group OF its feathered inhabitants"
This is valuable information, but to
be used with discretion. In Central
park, for instance, one is just as likely
as not, after trying this little ornithO-
logical experiment, to find oneself sur
rounded by an anxious or curious
group of gentlemen with blue coats
and brass buttons. Better keep these
tactics for the open country.-Freder-
