Pelan TX figured in the events

picture of the Malay mind than
anything that ever happened to
me before-or since. was
walking along the tree-lined
road that leads from Port Swet-
tenham, principal S ipping
point of the Federated Malay
States, to the village Of Klang,
about five miles away. My
boys w1re at a temporary COM
pound I had established on the
outskirts of this village, looking
after some tigers we had
trapped in the neighboring
jungles, and 1 was on my way
to join them.
Unable to secure a horse
drawn gharry and not caring to
travel by ricksha except when
the distance is comparatively
short, decided to make the
journey on foot. Having hoofed
it between these points on sew

fair amount of authority that
this is one of the finest walks
in the world. You make your
way over a road that is per
fectly shaded on both sides. It
is built right on the edge Of the
jungle.
Hallway to Klang I ran into

In this day of economy, few
of us want to buy a travel coat
that cannot be worn for many
other occasions too. It's true
that this is a wonderful year
for travelling, that prices are
down and boats and trains not
crowded. But even so, those of
us who can afford to travel
have the practical streak well
developed, so that we buy coats
or suits that will be good coun-

town coats in the fall, worn
over silk or sheer wool dresses.
And fortunately, the ideal type

Unusual medical cases" are
not very instructive or valuable
as a rule, but human nature is
such that they will always con-
tinue to be reported.
Two cases reported in the
medical journals this year are
unique.
One was a miraculous recov-
cry from an accident. The vic
tim, a boy 18 years old, in an
automobile accident had a piece
Of timber driven through his
abdomen from front to back.
The piece Of timber was part
of a bridge and the boy was
literally impaled on the bridge.
The timber had to be sawed off
before he could be released.
In spite Of his horrible situa-
ton it is remarkable that he
was in little pain and remained
perfectly conscious.
He was taken to the hospital
and the wooden spear removed.
The intestineS were severed in
two places. These rents were
sewed up and to everyone's as
tonishment, the patient took
liquid diet four days later.
His convalescence, however,
gave him as much trouble as
the accident. He developed a
mastoid, with several hemor-
rhages from the neck, necessi-
tating the legation Of the large
external carotid artery Of the
neck, as well as several blood
transfusionS. He eventually re-
covered, his surgeon listing his

CHAPTER NINE

And now for a word about
the mouse deer, loveliest of all
jungle miniatures, whose prin-
cipal habitat is the Malay
Archipelago. 1t is a tiny deer
like animal, which. full.grown,
varies in height from about
10 to IL inches. 1t has a
beautiful soft coat of a fawn
color that sometimes borders
on the reddish. Its little legs
are no bigger around than a
cigarette, its tiny cloven hoofs
covering no more space than a
dime. A timid creature, walk
ing with queer, stiff-legged, tip
toeing gait, it seems positively
unreal-the product of some
poets feverish brain.
Yet it is very real, as any
one who knows the Malay
country can tell you. 1t is
the "spittin' image of the
ordinary deer in all details ex-
cept that the bucks of the
mouse-deer family have no
antlerS.

ChangefuI Life

Life used to seem as tangible
as stone,
A thing that dwelt in limits
well-defined;
Adventure, true; but somehow
tried, and known,
And cast in certain bounds
of soul and mind.
Some lives would to the end
be good, be true;
Some would be false, some
brave, some weak, some
wise;
Yet in each life one thread
would carry through,
And each some pattern would
of life devise.
I now find life is but a mood,
a prayer,
A silver stream that glideS
through desert sands,
A sea-gull's wing that cleaves
the empty air,
An echo of a voice from ua-
known lands.
In life are all the things that
flee, that change;
I seize the instant ere it, too,
grow.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am a young married

misunderstanding with my hus-
band I imagined myself in
love with a young man of my
acquaintance, who professed to

him sentimental letters; and
while I hardly believe he would
ever use these letters to harm
me, I now realize the normity
of the thing I have done, and
would feel very much relieved
if I had them back in my

lieve it wise to ask for their

If the man is a gentleman
you have no cause for worry,

not write him and ask for their

them. Surely he will be glad
