pigeons have been kept in captivity for
almost 5000 years You have probably
learned about Noah's sending dove from the
ark There are many different breeds OF
pigeons and they have all been developed from
the original Rock Dove columbia Livia).
Rock Doves are found in Central Asia and in
Europe.
Most of the pigeons that you see in the city
parks are birds which have reverted to the
shape and color of their original ancestors.
Practically all of the long beaked pigeons can
be kept in captivity without difficulty. The
short-beaked birds are unable to feed their
young, and so their eggs must be hatcheds and
their offspring reared by the other pigeons.
Red Carneaux are fine pets and produce squads

Bill turned from the phone. Wed better

Fred still apparently dazed by the catas-
trophe, followed without a word. But it was
Bill who broke the news to Mrs Towne and
wrote and phoned the telegram that would
notify Fred's father.
This done Bill turned to the frantic

He'll also have the highway patrols watching

DUT If he hoped to impress Fred he was
- more than disappointed. AS soon as the
officers learned who Fred they accepted
him with open arms. Every man in the sta
ton was an ardent base bah fan, especially
Seret Kelly and they all deemed 1t a privi-
lege to talk base ball with the son OF the
famous Eddie Towne.
SO from that moment on Bill had rival
in the favor of the police officers True, his
father was still the chief, but the patrolmen
knew Fred and liked him. and waved to him
on the street just as they did to Bill. And
if Fred dropped into the station, he was al
ways sure of just warm welcome as Bill
received.
Thus things went along for several weeks
with Bill seldom winning point in the battle
for supremacy OF course, nobody ever actual
" pointed out that a battle was being fought,
but all the boys realized that Fred Towne was
about to displace Bill their leader
Then came an event that pushed this battle
into the background and threw all Northridge
into a fever Of excitement. Bill and Fred
were eyewitnesses to the event. One after
noon as they were returning from the ball
field they saw Buddy, Fred's 5-year-old
brother playing ON the sidewalk in front OF
the Towne home.
Nov, how do you suppose that little rascal
got Out?" said Fred, increasing his pace

Buddy but the child was playing quietly
on the walk, and Fred did not shout ut him.

of Fred Towne would have filled him
with bitterness. Even so, 1t was not
easy for Bill to see his prestige among
the other boys gradually fading before
the greater glory of Fred. and Bill was not very
happy during those first days after the new
bows arrival But he took his medicine" like
a man and never said an unkind word against
Fred. In fact, along with every other boy IN
Northridge, he liked and admired Fred I'M
mensely And, living side by side as they old,
the two boys became almost inseparable.
Always there was friendly rivalry between
them in everything, and always Fred was able
to equal or better Bills best efforts. Fred S

into service ON the river. Bill had never pad
died a canoe in his life, while Fred was good
at it. but Bill soon learned Nevertheless, this
was just one other place in which Fred's SUI
periority was evident.
Then there was the final blow which came
from a quarter where Bill might have thought
he was safest. Always he had been the envy
of every other boy in Northridge because ne
could drop in the police station and chat with
the officers whenever he pleased and because
they always waved cheerfully to him on the
street Bill enjoyed this comradeship with the
men in uniform, and perhaps he had a secret
desire to show off bit when he first took
Fred to the police station with him.
