WHAT THEY DISCOVERED AT THE WATER HOLE

whispered to Bobby as we start
ed after our little four-footed
guide. who bounded ahead of US
in the direction of the braying
and barking, which grew louder
as we neared it.
Suddenly Bunny came romping
back and whispered:
Hide behind that clump of
bushes there and you'll see the
sight of your life! Get your cam

Before you could say "Scatw

Down in a hollow in front of us
was a water hole. And there
drinking for al they were worth
were dozens IF Zebras-and in be-
tween drinks they were making
such racket! Would you believe
me that some of them-the ones
with narrow stripes-for there
were two kinds. wide-striped
zebras and narrow-striped zebras-
were braying like mules While
the broader-striped zebras were
barking like big dogs!
Look, Foxy Grandpa. Notice
that the ones with the broad
stripes don't drink, while the ones
with the narrow stripes are drink
ing?" Bunny whispered.
And he was right. I don't know
why they are so stuck up, unless
it is because they think they're
more important on account of
their broader stripes.
Before they galloped off I got
some fine pictures. And after the
zebras left we all went down to the
water hole and filled not only our
selves but our Waterbags with the
finest cold water you ever tasted
in all your life!

Mostly. Myrtle was just the
worst dead loss you ever saw;
but once in a while you got
some good out Of her foolishness,
like the time when she bit into
lovely-looking apple and
laid it down, looking very white
and sick at her stomach. She
had bitten into a rotten place,
and although Neale pointed out
honestly to her that it was the
only bad spot, and that the rest
OF the apple was a corker, she re-
fused to touch it, or even to look
at it. She said she never wanted
to see another apple again as
long as she lived! So NeaIe ate
it to save it, sinking his strong

but sometimes husbands and

self.consciousness. He grinned
silently If they spoke to him, and
retired to his shell. busying him
self with his own thoughts, all
concentrated on the impending
battle.
He liked the things you had to
eat on Sunday and had found
that on Sunday he could eat the
soft parts out of his bread and
hide the crusts under the edge
of his plate. Mother always
caught him If he tried that on
week days, but on Sundays, with
company there. she never said a
word.

cottony feeling, brown, bad-tas1-
ing stuff into the waste basket
and having got rid of it, went
on with the apple, his zest
undiminished to the last mouth

Nobody asked you to eat the

easy to spit them out, or, if you
saw them beforehand, to eat
your way around them. He
couldn't make anything out of

New England Americanism was
not quite resolute enough to
make them send Neale to a pub

was more than enough to make
them incapable of conceiving so
odious an act of tyrrany as for
bidding a little boy to play freely
with other little boys, whether
anyone knew their parents or not.

has not lived with his wife
since they were married.
He has a boy ten years old
and they both live with an
aunt.
What would you do If you
were me, as we like each other

not asked for my steady com

your answer is in his favor.

NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am deeply in love with
young man. He is very sensi-
tive, which has caused many
quarrels over mere nothings.
About a year ago he took Of
tense at something I did and
has not spoken to me or paid
any attention since. Lately
received a letter from him tell
ing me he had given up the
girl he had been going with
and was very sorry for the
way he acted toward me. I
answered the letter, telling him
it looked to me as though he
wrote me now that he had no
one else, and 1 can't help feel
ing this way.
He did not answer the letter.
Does this man hold any love
for me whatever. A. B. c.
IF you love the man, why not
l. lull pride and suspicion to rest,

whether or not some Of the old
affection survives.

water for one day and one night,
because that was as long as we

But we had decided to stay over
the next day to see IL we couldn't
find a zebra. I did so want to

why we had to be careful of the
water.

us safely home" I added. But

Just then off in the distance,
we heard the barking of dogs.

What are dogs doing in this
wild placer I asked. DO you
suppose there are some more
hunters around here?"
Before Bunny had time to an
swer' a great braying, like the
braying Of a dozen mules, fol-
lowed the barking of the dogs.
What kind of a place are we
In, boys? You might think by
those noises that instead Of be-
ing In the Wilds of Africa, we were

Bunny, up until now, hadn't
