TAIL TWENTY
FEET LONG

TNIIE Yokohama is a long-tailed
Il cock, q special product OF
Japan, where 4 can be traced as
far back as 500 B. c. Breeders
OF the bird have bred specimens
with IS and 20 feet Of tail. al
though present day species rarely
exceed IS feet.
There is a charming legend told
about the Yokohama. 1t Is said
that the Province OF Tosa, where
the birds are extensively bred.
once selected a feather for It's
crest and required all retainers
to attach a feather to their spears
al an emblem TO be carried
in state professions. Immediately.
there was competition among the
Samurai, each retainer seeking to,
obtain the longest feather. The
tail feathers OF the Yokohama
were chosen and breeders began
to breed for greater length OF
tail.
The bird, which In general APP
pearance resembles a pheasant, ts
kept In a high. narrow cage.

earth.
Comforted by the company OF
his pipe, Carrigan did not beat
at the door again. He waited,
and at the end of another half
hour the storm had softened
down into a steady patter Of
rain. The thunder had Travelled
east, and the lightning had gone
with it. David opened the window
again. The air that came in was
rain-sweet, soft and warm. He

even in the worst places.
A Bit Funny
ST. Pierre's wife had certainly
had a good soaking. And in a
way the whole thing was a bit
funny. He was thinking now of
a poor little golden plumed par
fridge, soaked to the skin, with
it's tail feathers dragging pa.
thetically.
Grinning. he told himself that
1t was an insult to think OF her
and a half-drowned partridge in
the same breath. But the smile
still remained. and he chuckled.
Probably she was wringing out
her clothes now, and the men
were cursing under their breath
watched for the fire. It failed to
appear.
Probably she was hating him
for bringing all this discomfort
and humiliation upon her. 1t was
not impossible that tomorrow she
would give Bateese permission TO
brain him. And st. Pierre? What
would this man, her husband
think and do If he knew that his
wife had given up her bedroom
to this stranger? What compli.
cations might arise If he knew!
1t was late-past midnight
when Carrigan went to bed. Even
then he did not sleep for a long
time. The patter OF the rain
grew less and less on the roof
OF the bateau. and as the sound

He began extinguishing the
lights until only the one nearest
the door was left burning. He did
not turn toward Carrigan or cpeak
to him again. When he went out
David heard the click of a lock in
the door. Bateese had not exag-
gerated. 1t was the intention of.
st, Pierre's wife that he should
consider himself a prisoner-at
least for tonight.
He had no desire TO lie down
again. There was an unsteadi-
ness in his legs, but outside OF
that the evil OF his sickness no
longer oppressed him. The staff
doctor at the Landing would prob
ably have called him fool for
not convalescing in the usual
prescribed way. but Carrigan was
already beginning to feel the de-
mand for action.
In spite OF what physical effort
he had made, his head did not
hurt him. and his mind was
keenly alive. He returned to the
window through which he could
see the fires on the western
shore, and found no difficulty in
opening it. A strong screen net
ting kept him from thrusting out
his head and shoulders. Through
it came the cool night breeze OF
the river. 1t seemed good to fill
his lungs with it again and
smell the fresh aroma OF the
forest.

the cabin. Drawn together on a
taut wire stretched two inches un-
der the ceiling, they shut off this
end OF the bateua and turned at
least third of the cabin into the
privacy of the woman's bedroom.
With growing uneasiness David
saw the evidences that this had
been her sleeping apartment. At
each side of the piano was small
door, and he opened one of these
just enough to discover that it
was wardrobe closet. A, third
door opened on the shore side OF
the bateau, but this was locked.

His blood tingled. His brain

uneasy and filled him with a
strange restlessness. He felt as
though he had come suddenly 10
the edge OF a great danger; some
where within him an intelligence
seized upon it and understood.
Yet it was not physical enough
for him to fight. 1t was danger
which crept up and about him,
something which he could not see
or touch and yet which made his
heart beat faster and the blood
come into his face. 1t drew him,

where a moment before there

now, and in that stiffness it SEEM

streaming flashes Of electrical
fire that blazoned the advance Of
the storm.
The camp-fires across the river
were dying down. One of them
went out as he looked at it, and
he stared into the darkness as if
trying to pierce distance and
gloom to see what sort OF shelter
it was that St. Pierre's wife had
over there.
And there came over him in
these moments a desire that was
almost cowardly. 1t was the de-
sire to escape, to leave behind him

st. Pierre'S wife, and to pursue
once more his own great adven.
