The Way Madge Followed Dicky's
 Advice About Mollie

-h"ftNH aAhSht
 As Dieky strode down the hall to. ward his room, l looked after him with a swirl of what the old time .novelists used to dub mingled emotions"
 Astonlshment conquered resent ment and in It's turn gave way to a recognition of authority backed by knowledge unshared by me.
 Struggling for emergence, also, was a feeling of pride in my hus- band which would not be downed by the remembrance of our bitter quarrel Or the realization that Dicky's demeanor betrayed no more relenting in his heart than in mine.
 stood motionless with my eyes fixed upon his shapely head and 1.-the figure until his door had closed behind him. Then with a 'stsrt, for had not realized l was watching him, went back to his mothers room. I found her in a chair by the window gazing out over the distant meadows sloping down to the ocean, and holding in her hands the letter from Harriet and Edwin, with its news of her or phaned grandchildren.
 There were traces of tears upon her face, and l knew that her heart was full of memories of her dead daughter, all the more poignant be- cause she realized even more fully than the rest of us that Elizabeth Harrison had utterly failed in motherhood.
 For second I drew back, dread ing to disturb her: then I walked swiftly forward, for I realized that action of any sort was far better for her than this regretful brood ing.
 Mother, dear" I said crisply, "Dicky tells me that he has to go to New York on the next train, and there are reasons-oonnected" "with that work of Lillians-why i can- not look after his going. Do you feel well enough to see Katie about something for him to eat? And soon he probably will be calling all over the house for collar buttons"
 She shot a shrewd look at me, but her wise old eyes were full of kindness.
 Come here and kiss me, Mar garet," she said surprisingly open ing her arms. and while I bent above herNshe held me tightly for a second or two, while she mur- mured, with tenderness which she rarely manifests to me.
 T understand, my dear, only too well. And I'll help in whatever way I can"
 Mollie's Excitement
 My throat was too constricted for speech without tears, but I kissed her gratefully, and fled to my own room. where I pulled myself to- gether and went in search of Kath- erine. I found her in the library, and told her of the startling infor- nation which Dicky had given me, and of his injunction to watch Mol lie Fawcett day and night.
 "Theres something afoot," Kath- ersne assented. "She's been pacing up and down the sun parlor like something demented ever since she

 The row. boat had not proceeded far into the bay when, less than a. hundred yards away in the papyrus reeds, there suddenly came into view the huge head of a hippopota- mus. It looked simply enormous, and very ugly. Calmly it watched the approach of the invaders of its privacy. until it seemed to realize suddenly that danger threatened 1t. At this moment, it dashed off away from the rapidly nearing rowers and made its way along the papyrus edge, while its wet back glstened In the strong sunlight. Roosevelt was standing up in the boat with his rife held to his shoulder and ready for any emergency.
 
 There was sharp report from the row-boat, and one of Colonel Roose- veits bullets struck in a vital spot, The hippo turned immediately and charged with it's huge mouth wide open, straight at the frail row-boat. We could plainly see the ivory tusks and teeth within that deep cavern Of mouth. Obviously, it intended mischief.
 Another sharp report came to us across the water--and we could al- most see the bullet enter that colos- sal mouth. As the bullet hit, the immense jaws closei with a vicious snep' It still held on its charge for the row-boat, but Colonel Roose- welt fired third time and dropped the hippo dead with a bullet through the brain.

Letter from Annette Anderson to :, Mrs. John Alden Prescott, ] Continued.

I was perfectly aghast, my dear Mrs. Prescott, when Miss Bradford told me she was sure you would feel very kindly to any one who would discover that secret drawer. I knew you left hurriedly, and of course l do not know how many private pa pers you have left in that desk. But when l tried to remonstrate-and I did rather heatedly-Miss Bradford interposed by saying:
 ,"Pm sure, Nurse" (she always calls me Nurse when she wants to be particularly disagreeable), that Mrs. Prescott Junior will be as glad to have the secret drawer in her desk found, as she will be 10 have her rooms put in complete order without any worry to herself.

Robert Forap, newspaper corre- spondent, accompanies the Theodore Roosevelt expedition into Africa in 1oOs. They drive at Mombassa, the gateway of British East Africa" and then make the railroad journey to their first camp on the game-crowded Kapiti Plains, 2SS miles from the coast. With Colonel Roosevelt are his son, Kermit, and three scientific members of hh staff Major Edgar A. Morans, Edmund Heller and J. Allen Loring.
 Now the expedition camps at Saigai-Sai, farm belonging to Commander Fredericks Attenbor- ough, after a wonderfully successful shooting trip in the sotik country. Now, going in launch across the lake toward the mouth of the Morendt river, they catch sight of a large hippo walking along the shore. Colonel Roosevelt, Kermit and Cunninghame leave the launch and row toward the animal.

see Kermit taking photographs of the charge and kill with his camera. He appeared to be quite unper- turbed.
 Later on he said to me, when speaking about his experiences with this hippo: T only saw the beast through my view-fnder and never once with my naked eye until it was dead."
 Then began the difficult task of dragging the huge carcass out of the weeds into clear water, so that the launch could take it in tow for the camp. However, after strenuous efforts by Cunninghame, who stood weist-deep in the water, ourselves in the launch, and the native porters in the w-hoat, We succeeded final ly after several hours hard work in achieving our object Thereupon, we headed across the lake for the camp, proudly towing the huge beast-it must have weighed fully three tons or more--behind US.
 Roosevelt and Kermit were de- lighted with their success on this hunt; and we were naturally over joyed at being witnesses to such an interesting adventure. It certainly had been a memorable occasion. and we were all tired after the long day on the water.
 We reached the pier below the At- tenborough's house at sunset. While the others returned to the camp. I helped the Attenborough brothers and Cunninghame tow the dead hippo round into the little bay in front of the. Roosevelt camp, so that it would be ready for dragging ashore early next morning for Heller and his skinners to start work on the carcass.
 Its been a bully days hunting, |" called Roosevelt to me, gIeefully, as he started off to walk round to his camp. And his face wreathed in smiles.

 Many interesting incidents oc- cured during the stay at Saigai-sai and certainly the memories of there adventurous days in that camp must ever remain pleasant ones for all of the members of the expedition.
 Heller will remember the huge leopard. sweighing some 2e bounds, which he discovered one morning in one of his rat-traps, attached, for greater security, to a thorn-bush for free drag.
 On another morning. Colonel Roosevelt Cunninghame and the brothers Attenborough went out in the launch in search of a good male

AN ISLAND IS BORN

Following a violent earth ire
NOR which didn't quite amount to
a full-fledged earthquake, the Sea
of Azov has suddenly produced an
island that was never even rum
ored in the geologic formation Of
the neighborhood. OF considerable
dimensions, according to fragmen-
tary reports thus far obtainable.
the new land has erected itself
fairly we'll in the center of the en-
lance from the outside waters of
the Black sea, and II 1t stays In
place and becomes consolidated
with the earth's visible terrain 1t
ought to grow into an important
strategic base, since 1t will guard
the Azov sea approaches as Glib
raltar guards the Mediterranean.
There are those among Euro
pean diplomats who will undoubt
eddy look upon this act of nature
as ungenerous and party-spirited.
Nature is distinctly a nihilist,
building UP only TO tehr down
again; and it seems just probable
that she feels an affinity with the
Moscow Soviet government. At
any rate. the island is born Rus
sian. and never having had a past
under royalty il, must be looked
upon as a thorough going Bolshe-
visit proposition.
It is fitting, OF course. that this
slight accession to Russian terri
tory should arise out OF chaos, and
nerhaps the superstitious will even
derive an omen from the fact. But
looked upon in the light OF geolo-
eic precedent It becomes a less al
Turing affair. and almost any ex-
pert who has studied the phenom-
ena OF mushroom islands would
advise the authorities to wait a
while before they begin to fortify
it. Next week or next year the
srot may be an excellent place in
which to 60 fishing. - Providence
