BUNNYS WISDOM SAVES A COWS LIFE

been there a day, when Bobby

early in the morning."
So that night got my camera
ready, and almost Immediately
after breakfast we were on our
way.
We left the house and walked
through the fields where our
hosts cattle were grazing peace
fully, and we remarked what fine
animals they were.
During our conversation Bunny
said:
"Yes, but they have a hard
time down here. You see, it is
pretty wild, and many wild ami
mails come in from the jungle and
carry off the cows"
Indeed" said I. THAT is un-
fortunate. What animals?'
1.-THE worst down here are
hyenas."
II thought you told me they
were good animals because they
kept the country clean by eating
up anything that was lying
around that was not healthy"
yes" I answered. "They are
in a way health officers because
they do scavenger work. but they
are not health officers for the
cattle If they eat them up"
II should say not" laughed
Bunny. "It's too bad they don't
stick to their profession. They
would be much more popular 4
they did"
We walked along for a while,
passing a great herd Of cattle, and
as we left 1t, Bunny suddenly
stopped. sat up on his hind legs
and listened. Then he said:
"Hark! Do you hear that?"
We listened. Such a bowling
and strange shriekiMg you never
heard! I whispered:

fully toward US. And right on
her heels came the hyena.
Bunny looked so nervous. I
thought he was going to faint.
But do you know what he did.
That brave little fellow hoped
right out in front of the COW.
Suddenly the COW stopped, turned
around, looked that fierce hyena
in the face.
"Oh," murmured Bobby. And
I must say was so sorry for the
cow that almost forgot to snap
my camera, but 1 did when I saw
that when the cow turned and
looked at the hyena, that the
hyena halted, made no effort to
attack the cow but skunk away

forward, as IL; one were walking
along a line actually drawn on the

When this latest fad appeared II
was promptly denounced by people
wha oppose all innovations as an
insane, unnatural craze" But
science for once, takes sides with
whimEi fashion. DR.. A. s. De
Painter. British anthropologist, and
other scientists who specialize in
the movement Of human beings and
animals, declare that the "chalk-
line crawl" while slightly exag.
gerated, is closer to the ideal and
natural way Of walking than the
ordinary method, with feet apart
and toes pointed slightly outward.

by the habit, and far from being a
pose-or, rather, in spite of the fact
that 1t may be pose dictated by
fashion-this new way Of walking

Women who have adopted the fad
may be pleased to know that It
has the approval Of science, but
they are not concerned about such
matters, primarily. The crawl" is
becoming popular because it makes
the feet look smaller, keeps the
skirts draped more smoothly and

Another advantage Of the Chalk

hips and shoulders on a smooth
