in. Sure enough, there was Rabbit
there. Perhaps this fellow would not
be as suspicious as Wigglenose had
been. Reddy put on his best, and
what he believed to be his most
friendly grin.
Good evening"" said he.
cit is a good evening, especially for
Rabbits" was the reply, and the
young Rabbit turned so that Reddy
could see him clearly. 1t was Wiggle-
nose!
Reddy rubbed his eyes and looked
again. Somehow he couldn't believe
it, even though his eyes told him that
it really was Wigglenose.
ct can't go walking with you to-
night. I've been away for some time
so I don't feel like going for walk
with you just now," said Wigglenose.
Nobody asked you to-" snapped
Reddy.
IT hope you had nice rest while
you were waiting over by that hole
near the clover patch" said Wiggle-
nose.
Reddy glared at him. Then he
grinned. He was a good sport. You
win" said he. You are too smart
for me, though how you learned so
much in so short a time I don't
know. didn't know that there was a
back door to that house under the
stump, but I know it now. What did
you thump for a little while ago?"
Just for fun," replied Wigglenose,
and grinned in his turn.

Uncle Ray
A Jungle Adventure.
Aliens Fate in Doubt.

THE INDIANS who had captured
Allen had been fishing" but not
with hook and line! They used bows
and arrows. It was their custom to
shoot fish with the arrows. Their
bows were five or six feet long. The
men cut their hair short, except for
a mop at the center Of the head.
Their brown skins were painted with
designs.
When Allen was taken into the viii
lage, the people crowded around him.
All seemed anxious TO see what he
was like. Some Of the children pushed
their way forward, and showed as
much interest in him as white chill
dren might take in a chimpanzee or
an elephant at the zoo.
Suddenly there was the sound Of a
masterful voice, and the crowd opened
a lane to permit the chief of the vii
lage to come close to the prisoner.
The chief looked at him closely, and
spoke to those who had captured him.
Allen could not understand a word of
what was said, but supposed that the
chief was asking questions as to how
this white youth had been captured.
The chief gave a speech, and then
looked at Allen, as if expecting a
reply. Allen had learned about a
dozen Kalapalo words, but could think
of only one which would make any
sense in this case-the word meaning

Deviled Shrimps.

To prepare fresh shrimps, simmer
them in salted water. and drain. Re-
move the shell carefully, also the
black line that runs the length of the
body. For this recipe you will need
one cupful, either fresh or canned.
Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter or
other fat, add four tablespoonfuls of
flour, and stir until smooth. Add two
cupfuls of milk, heat, stirring con-
stantly, and when it begins to thicken
add three hard-cooked eggs which
have been put through sieve. Cut
the shrimps with a silver knife, and
add to the sauce; season with some
paprika, one tablespoonful of chopped
parsley, and a few drops Of onion
Juice. Put the mixture in ramekins,
cover with buttered bread crumps, and
brown in quick oven.

Nine Points of Law. "

MOT one out of thousand of us
who uses this smooth line, it is
safe to say, realizes that its inspira-
tion is from the works Of a man who
lived and wrote several centuries be-
fore the birth of Christ.
Its author is Pilpay, or Bidpal, and
he wrote in Sanscrit. From this ancient
language it was eventually translated,
through several intermediate Ian
guages, into English in 1870 Origi-
nally it appeared in the form OF
Possession was the strongest tenure
of the law; it is from the fable called
The Cat and the Two Birds"
Writing almost century and half
later, Colley Cibber in his "Woman's
Wit" modified the expression to "Pos-
session is eleven points of the law
And in the passage of time, and chief
ly as result of our penchant for ap-
praising quantitively in terms oi
round decimals, the expression be-
came further changed to its present
Possession is nine points of the law.

" ASTERN ASIA produces 81
l. per cent of the worlds rice.
India, China, Japan, French
IL Indo-China, Siam, Java and
the Philippine Islands are the
leading rice-producing countries of
the world. In tropical and sub
tropical countries rice is the stand
ard cereal crop, and the poor have
little other food
In the United States we have three
producing regions. In South
western Louisiana and Southeastern
Texas, where it was found that the
broad and level prairies offered ideal
situations, the growing of rice on
commercial scale was begun about
1885.
In order to grow rice successfully
there must be high temperatures dur
ing the growing season, plentiful
and dependable water supply during
the period of irrigation and good sur
face drainage. 1t was found that
these two States had the fiat and
level soil, with an imperviouS sub
soil, and that by powerful pumps
water could be obtained from deep
wells, sluggish streams and bayous.
The prairie region OF Eastern
Arkansas was developed in 1905, the
water for the rice section being
pumped from wells. The interior
valleys of California were soWn to
rice on big scale in 1912. The water
for irrigation is obtained from the
Sacramento and Feather Rivers by
gravity and pumps.
Irrigation water is for the germi-
nation of the seeds. In California
the land is under water to depth of
4 to z inches for 80 TO 140 days each
year.
The short-grained rice, which we
grow successfully in the United States,
Is of Japanese origin. It is hardy
and produces large yields, but they
do require a long growing season.
Then, when the crop is harvested and
sent to the mill, the grains do not
break easily. The miller and the
farmer both agree that the short
grained variety is the best. But the
important consumer wants the long
grained variety.
The long-grained rice, grown in the
United States on a commercial scale,
Is that known as the Honduras va
riety. Its seed Is long and narrow.

sun or to rain. When the kernels
are hard and the straw dry about
two weeks it is ready for thrashing.
Weeds are ever ready to grow in q
crop of any kind, and are often gar
nered, too. Where there Is plenty Of
water, with good soil, they grow rank
and robust. 1t is vastly important
to keep these pests out, or they will
see to 1t that their seed babies ma
ture at just the time Of harvesting.
The worst weed enemy known to rice
growers is red rice. 1t has made its
appearance through the rice-growing
countries Of the world. Unless the
intruder is put out of the field at
once it takes possession.
There is the blast, blight and rot
ten-neck fungus disease, that at
tacks the rice plant. and several
other diseases. Fortunately, this
crop does not have an insect enemy
that cannot be controlled, though
there are several that lower the yield
materially.
You can see that growing rice has
many difficulties, and the life of a
rice grower is not a bed of roses.

Reddy waited and waited and waited.
The Black Shadows came creeping
out from the Purple Hills and still
no sign of Wigglenose. At least even
Reddy's patience was exhausted. He
silently crept to the entrance of that
hole and shifted. There was the smell
of Rabbit, but it was old. If Wiggle-
nose was in there he must be way
down in the little room at the end
Of that long hall which Reddy couldn't
get into.
"Il give him a scare so that he
won't dare come out while I am OF
hunting for Mice and then II come
back and wait again" thought Reddy.
So he poked his nose inside and
snarled, II know you are down there
and I'm waiting for you. 1t doesn't
matter whether you come out now or
later, I'll be waiting for you just the
same"
Then he started of to hunt, sure
hat that young Rabbit wouldn't dare
come out while he was gone. He re-
membered the thump he had heard
and decided that first of all he would
investigate the place from which that
thump had come. 1t was half way
over to the bramble-tangle, where
Wigglenose lived, but, of course, it
couldn't be Wigglenose who had
thumped because Wigglenose was in
that hole he, Reddy, had just left. 1t
must be that another young Rabbit
had come to live in the Old Pasture
1t was a pleasant thought. 1t would
mean another good dinner some time
Perhaps he could catch him now.
With his keen nose to the ground
he worked back and forth and pres
entity found Rabbit scent, and it was
fairly fresh. Carefully and silently
he followed it, not missing a single
twist or turn of the trail, and so at
last came to the familiar bramble-
tangle from which he had so often
tried to entice Wigglenose. He peereo

fishing" He spoke the word two or
three times, and was pleased when
the chief grinned as If he knew what
it meant. He looked at the fishpole
which had been brought to the village
with the prisoner, and after studying
the hook grinned again. Keeping the
pole in his hand, he ordered his men
to take the youth 10 a hammock in
front of large hut.
Allen felt that there was no use
to resist when he was placed in a
hammock and bound hand and foot.
Then he was left for a while with
only women and children to look at
him while the men gathered In the
hut. From the noise they made it
seemed that they were taking part IN
"powwow"
"They are deciding my fate, "
thought Allen. The idea of trying to
escape came to him. If only he could
get free from his bonds, he might
dash past the women and children,
reach the river bank and leap into his
canvas boat. Perhaps he could get a
good start before the men came in
pursuit.
1t was wild plan, almost certain
of failure; but he tugged to free his
hands and legs, and only the fact that
the knots were well tied kept him
from making a break for liberty. He
uttered a groan as he heard the men
coming out of the hut after their
meeting.
