CHAPTER XXXY.

What are you going to do
about it?" Miss Reeves asked him
after q short pause.
"Oh," said he, ''stay around till
I find that I can't be Of any use
to them; and then go away some
where and get very busy about
something else, and forget about
it,"
1T isn't always easy to forget
about things that matter"
mo; when you get up with the
one thought and carry it about
all day, and go to bed with it,
it's not easy. But If you want
something to happen, and it's
absolutely out Of the question
that 1t should happen, why you've
just got to get over wanting,
that's ALL
when you first met Silver,
she ought to have told you that
she was engaged to Paul"
why, DiSSS herp said Waring;
"it never occurred to her that she
was dangerous to the peace and
happiness Of every young man
she met
Il don't believe it ever did"
And for the next half-hour
they exchanged praises of Silver.
It may have been a trying ex-
perience of Mabel Reeves; at the
time it brought her closer to Wa
rings mind and habits of thought
and deeper into his confidence
than she had ever been before.
Neither of them drank any tea
at all. And when Sam rose to
go he was more at peace with

possible to find any other

has played such leading part
in the rise and fail of Empires.
BY theft, torture, murder, the i'll

gathering round it.
When Sultan Baber, in the
sixteenth century invaded India,

and founded the Mohammedan
Empire Of the Great Moguls. he
seized the Great White Stone"
which then weighed 1913 caretS.
AS Tavernier, a century later,

The memoirs of Baber tells US
that it was the spoil Of a Hindu
temple, having for thousands Of
years been held in the hand as an
orb by an image of the god
Krishna.
Shah Jeham, who constructed
the famous Peacock Throne of
Delhi, valued at 30,000,0OO sterl-
ing, used for the eyes Of the pea
cocks four splendid diamonds, one
of which was reputed to be the
Koh-i-Noor.
When Nadir Shah of Persia in
vaded India and seized the throne

stone the "Koh-i- Moor" meaning
Mountain of Light" Then the
Afghans robbed Persia and the
Greeks and Romans overran them

no you would like to hear q
story about peculiar bird,
~ would you, children?
Let me think. Oh, know what
bird I'll tell you about-one of
the most interesting feathered
creatures in the world, and how
we happened to see him and his
family-well, we didn't see all
OF his family, nor even all of his
mate, but I'll tell you about that
later.
We were in the Transaval, in
South Africa. 1t was a lovely
sunny day and, as it grew hot
toward noon, We looked for a nice
cool, shady place.
Suddenly over our heads we
heard a peculiar cry of a bird.
We didn't pay much attention to
1t at first, but when it kept on
and came nearer to US, we were
interested at once.
We kept very still and right
above our heads flew q big bird
with a long bill. He perched on
a limb directly above us and we
could see him distinctly. He was
Of soft gray color with white
feathers under his body, and
right down the middle of his back
was a yellowish streak.
whispered to Bunny:
II never saw a bird like that.
What a big bill he has"
Bunny reached up and said
softly:
That's a hornbill. Be very
quiet. Perhaps he has a family
around here. If he has, you'll see
one of the most unusual things in
bird life"
We didn't bulge. We just sat
there like statues and I'll tell you
what we saw.
Mr.. HornbiIl chirped and twit-
tered and then flew away. Soon
he came back with a berry in his
mouth and flew right up to a
tiny hole in the tree. He put his
bill in the hole and when he drew
it out again the berry was gone.
What do you suppose he's put

with complete sincerity. 1t would

no patience with your boasting.
When men run household
they're robbed right and left;
they buy badly. for they either
pay too much or buy things SD
cheap that they're no good; they
either under feed or over feed;
generally over feed, I'll say that
for them. And besides, it's nice
and easy for men to manage
clubs when there's no spending
limit, while women have to prac-
tice economy. And why practice
economy? So that you men may
be MASTERS.
