MIR. AND MRS. COYOTE

"A great many coyotes, or prairie wolves as they are also known" said Daddy. had gone hunting. Among them were Mir. and Mrs Plains Coyote whose special names were Mir. and Mrs. c.
 That was so as not to mix them up with the others. But we will call them Mir. and Mrs. Coyote for they are the | only ones we're going to talk about this evening.
 "Now, many of the coyotes were on this hunting trip. Our Mir and Mrs Coyote had brought along their four teen young Coyote children.
 "The Coyotes, you know. live mostly upon the Western plains where they love it best
 'They are something like wolves in looks. and in size they are some times as large as the gray wolves and sometimes very much smaller.
 "They do not usually hunt in big family groups and gatherings. For they are not nearly so sociable as the wolves-though they make nice pets when taken young, and the wolves would not do quite so well as pets!
 'The fourteen Coyote children had been born in a burrow which had been dug in a bank and they had always been very comfortable and happy.
 "This was their first hunting trip and they were very much excited about it. There were other Coyote children along too.
 "Mr. and Mrs. Coyote were a little apart from the others. They could see that the children were all right. The Coyotes were all talking about the poultry they expected to get on this trip.
 "'And we will be clever as we have always been clever they said.
 "People try to get rid of us, but we're smart. We can run so quickly. We have so much intelligence. And we're nice Coyotes, after all. They'd miss us if there weren't any more of us about
 "They all agreed that this was true and so they all said they would be very careful about being trapped or captured themselves. They talked happily of those things they would eat, and of the dessert of berries they would have after a good meat course.
 "Mr. and Mrs. Coyote were talking, though, of other things.
 Coyotes are devoted mates and never desert each other throughout their coyote lives.
 "Tell me, Mrs. Coyote, said Mir Coyote, why you were so kind as to like meT
 "Tt wasn't kindness on my part, said Mrs. Coyote.
 "What was it thenT asked Mir Coyote.
 He hoped he knew the answer!
 "It was love- said Mrs. Coyote loved you and wherr you asked me if

Gold Production In Russia.

The Russian trade delegation reports that Siberia produced during the first four months of the present year over 16 pOods (36.1 pound per pood) of gold according to the Engineering and Min ing Journal-Press of New York. This quantity is five times greater than the total output for 1921. Gold is worth approximately $10,SOO per pood so that the total value is S172,SO or at an an nual rate of only little more than $50O,0O0. This compares with a pro- duction of S22,OOO,OOO in 1916 since which time the output has fallen stead fly until this slight revival. The gold syndicate has succeeded in restarting the gold mines at Elisatevinsk. Alevan- drOvsk, Ivanovsk and Youthnotalginsk, which will insure an output of not less than three poods monthly.

 Then the aunt announced her inten- tion of taking the runaway home at once as a punishment.

There the little girl saw her father just leav- ing his home on the trail of the flu gitive.

most important item to be considered in selecting a coat. Linings are soft and often of two or three plain colOrs combined. They add much to the in- terest and finish of wraps which are so often thrown back off the shOul- ders, making the lining background for the costume. Quiet cOlors are liked for them.
 Among the good points of the pile fabrics is their fitness for decorative purposes. Bands, panels or emplace- ments, cut on the bias or crosswise of the material, make handsome em- bellishments. An example appears in the coat at the left of the two pictured, in which cross-straps of the material are set on the skirt and form deep half-cuffs on the shaped sleeves, which are bordered with fox
