SNOWFALL Lamb was puzzled. He
didn't understand old Mr. Crows an

What il Johnnie Green should

Crow, "What harm would that dog"
The old gentleman stared at Snow

that anybody could be so stupid.
Haven't you ever heard iha, that's

Crow at last, why. there isn't q
boy in Pleasant Valley who doesn't
know that; and many oi 'em carry
salt about In their pockets all the
time. hoping 10 get chance some
day TO put the sal, on my tail. and

eyes snapped. Aud his bill snapped.

And then SNOWFALL said something
that made Mr.. Crow more impatient

Johnnie wouldn't hurt me. We've
always been great friends"
HE wouldn't, eh?" Mr.. Grow re-
torted. "How do you know he

replied.

Crow croaked. "But you never can

low few off he looked as if al the
cares in the world were weighing him
down. SNOWFALL noticed that he flew
heavily. 1t took a great amount Of
tapping of his broad wings to lift him
out OF the pasture. And when he was
well up in the air he gave glum
cav, cav as he wheeled and sailed
away down the wind.
Well, SNOWFALL couldn't help be-
ing somewhat disturbed by Mr..
Crows grave actions and his graver
remarks. 'I> wonder" thought
SNOWFALL, "if Mr.. Grow knows what
he's talking about. I'll ask the
lock!
So Snowfall ran down the hillside
pasture to the place where the flock
had gathered to Craze. And to his
astonishment some of the flock
didn't even lift their heads from the
grass when he related all that Mr..
Grow had said. Those that did
pause and listen to SNOWFALL only
giggled and went to feeding again.
Mol there was one that spoke to
him. Aunt Nancy Eve spoke up =
bit tartly.

stay away when Johnnie Green
comes to salt u.s." she told him. 1--WE
all expect to have a very pleasant
time" she added.
"Have you.cvert had salt put on
your tail?' SNOWFALL asked the old
lady.
Certainly not" she snapped. And
she glared at SNOWFALL so hercely
that he fell back several steps. "Are
you trying to tease me?" she cried.
He did not answer. 1t was plain
to him that Aunt Nancy didn't know
anything about the trick of putting
salt on ones tail. Yes! Mr.. Grow
must be wiser than she was.
They'll all get into trouble"
SNOWFALL thought And then he
said something thai was almost ex-
actly like what Mr.. Crow had said
to him. "They can't say didn't
warn them!"

How these instincts have been trans
United for thousands OF years through
line OF queens and drones is an in
teresting problem in heredity.
Herbert Mace. in his recent Book
About the Bee" has made the follow
ing comments on this and similar
questions:
"The curious problem, and one that
is not to be explained by any law that
we are cognzant of, is that the work
ers with all their wonderful cell build
ing, pollen gathering. and honey-stor-
ing appliances and instincts, descend
from parents who have never done
anything Of the kind. having neither
the organs nor the requisite amount OF

THE drone Is a male bee, having
neither the organs nor the intelligence
to perform the necessary functions Of
existence apart from the colony, The
queen is more or less in like case
Neither is able to find food for itself.
Neither has ever had anything to do
with the rearing Of the young. Yet the
product Of the two is. under ordinary
circumstan noes, an insect endowed with
special apparatus for carrying home
honey and pollen in quantities truly
remarkable for the size Of the creature.
Its tongue. honey sac. and pollen bas-
kets are developed in measure that
has no comparison with those Of its
parents. In addition. il possesses a
much higher degree OF intelligence as
calculated BY brain area.
THE female or queen bee contains
within her own person the means OF
reproducing bees. but not bees that are
in any way like herself. Her unas
sisted progeny Is Of a kind entirely
different in its organic structure. In
this she differs from the aphides. The
offspring of a virgin aphis is like her
self female.

no father. How comes il. then, that
they possess the virtues. or perhaps
we should say vices. OF a parent who

which come from a certain queen are
