Bedtime Stories
Chatterer's Choice.

along he would be the one that would
get out of Jimmy's way. I know it,
because I've seen it happen. I admit
that it doesn't sound reasonable
when you consider the difference in
size between the two. but it Is so,
nevertheless. If a man should come
along where Buster Bear is, Buster
would get out of there Is a hurry,
but If a man should come along here
now Jimmy Skunk wouldn't move
one bit faster. Indeed, doubt if he
would go at all. 1t would be Just
like him to try to drive the man
away. That is my idea of independ-
ence."
"Hello!" exclaimed Peter Rabbit.
Prickly Perky is coming down out of
his tree. I wish he and Jimmy Skunk
would meet. That would soon settle
the question between those two. How
ever, still think that Buster Bear Is
the most Independent person in the
Green Forest"
Speaking Of Buster Bear, here he
comes back nowl" exclaimed Jumper
the Hare.
Chatterer chuckled. IT wish all
three would meet" said he. "Wouldn' t
it be fun?"
Slowly Prickly Porky backed down
the tree. Slowly Jimmy Skunk ambled
along the Crooked Little Path. Slow
ly great big Buster Bear came shuf-
fling along from among the trees. 1t
began to look very much as If the
three would meet at certain point in
the Crooked Little Path. Peter Rab-
bit sat up In big-eyed wonder and ex-
element. Jumper the Hare sat up
with very much the same expression.
Chatterer the Red Squirrel, looking
down from up in the tree, chuckled
gleefully as he watched the three
drawing nearer and nearer to each
other.

OF eyes watching him. 1t would have
made no difference to him had he
been aware of them. He was minding
his own business and had no interest
in anything else.
He passed along down the Crooked
Little Path, passed where the others
were watching. There" said Chat

"He is independent" admitted
Jumper the Hare, but don't agree
that he is the most independent per-
son. No, sir, I don't agree to that. ]
still think Prickly Porky is the most
independent"
"Pooh!" retorted Chatterer. "Prickly
Porky is independent up to a certain
point. I admit that. OF course, ]
admit that. The thousand little
spears hidden in his coat and car
ried on his tail make him respected
by almost every one If that isn't
independence, I don't know what is.
But Prickly PUrky is afraid of Pekan
the Fisher, and he has good reason to
be. Furthermore, I've seen him hustle
out of the way of Buster Bear when
Buster Bear was very hungry"
THAT doesn't mean anything" re-
piled Jumper. ANY one with any
sense at all would get out of the way
of Buster Bear"
Jimmy Skunk wouldn't" retorted
Chatterer.
Don't be silly; of course, he would
get out of Buster Bears way, .

Chatterer shook his head violently.

Natures Children
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

IF YOU would like to have rhinoc-
eros iguanas for pets, a married
couple may be purchased in the
L United States for as low as $50.
They are found only in Haiti and
Puerto Rico. After becoming accll-
mated, inconsistencies overcome, and
faith established in their keeper, the
iguanas decide to make the best OF
IL and really become very docile.
The method of hunting these crea-
lures Is to use dogs trained for the
purpose. Being chased by biting, bark
ing, yapping dogs-creatures entirely
foreign to the poor lizards home
towns not likely to make the pur-
sued reptile feel calm and serene. BY
the time the captured iguanas reacn
the States they are naturally a bit
peevish.
Those who must transfer the vicious
beasts from one Enclosure to another
creep up behind them and, with a
quick movement, catch the 1guana by
the back Of the neck with one hand.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1935-08-27

The animal is usually at such a time
standing on its hind legs, flashing its
tail furiously. With the other hand
the animals hind legs are pressed
firmly to the ground. The subdued
beast Is thus tightly held while he Is
transferred to another cage, or TO
his cage home. In this position the
lizard cannot turn and bite. nor can
1t use its claws. One blow from them
can give very painful wound.
They are very fond Of young chick
ems. They rush toward one and, with
few swift and terribly strong shakes,
the fowl Is dead. A larger animal is
killed by shaking, then torn TO bits.
The pieces are scattered about the
cage as the iguana tears the animal
apart. Each piece Is rushed as II 1t
were alive and resisting. Small rats
are swallowed whole, large ones torn
to bits. Animals fully clothed IN 1ur
or feathers are preferred. The diet
is varied or combined with bananas,
berries, lettuce, clover. celery ana
flowers.
AS the iguanas grow Older their
livery is a dark brown. With their
three blunt conical horns sitting on
their SHOUTS, the larger one fully
three-eightS Of an inch high, ana the
crest of lanceolate spines along the
back, they certainly present gro
tesque appearance.
The head Is massive, with large
swollen knobs on the crown and even
larger ones at the jaws. The hang
ing throat pouch gives the patriarch
an expression Of high living. Inc
folds of thick, vein-like skin on the
neck and shoulders add to the I'M
preston.
The favorite attitude is squatting
low on the ground upon the hnd
quarters, with the body reared high
in a belligerent manner, upheld by
the sturdy front legs. In this posi-
ton the rhinoceros iguana, or lizard,
remains sphinx-Iike, as ii carved from
stone.

chung revealingly.
Because he could not trust himself
in that moment to speak the message
that pounded in his veins and
throbbed in his temples, Lansdowne
pointed out over the valley where the
moonlight was playing magic with the
low-lying mists.
II love it, she replied in her odd
throaty voice, the kind of voice one
would expect her to have.
1T is beautiful" he said, but not
half as beautiful as you are. You're
gorgeous tonight, Jean"
A STRANGE little smile was tug
ging at the girls mouth. The
curve of her throat in the moonlight,
the witness of her skin, that re-
minded him of the Satiny petals Of a
rhododendron blossom, intensified his
hunger for her
IT love you, JEAN" he said quietly,
and knew that she was trembling.
He wondered how many men had
told her that, wondered vaguely with
a savage, unreasoning resentment.
you've heard that before, Of
course he said. DO you ever grow
tired of hearing it?"
What woman would?" she coun-
tered. turning her full face to him.
How many stop with saying-just
that?"
She looked at him quickly.
Jean! Jean!" he cried, why can't
we-you and /"
She stopped him with a gesture.
II know" she said YEARLY, lust
you and Ia mana woman-away
from the world, that's it, isn't it?"
"Jean!"
Wallet me finish! I tried that
-that-one-man game"
He would have protested, but she
swept on, eyes blazing, her firm young
body tense.
i couldn't stand living with ore
man. I wanted to try-other men,
Jean, don't"
For year tried going with many
men, but 1 failed to find happiness
that I sought. II didn't find any
whom wanted TOTO even touch me.
Now I am through"
Jean. you mean-?"
YES" she said happily. I'm
through didn't know what I want
ed, but know that was like child
crying for the moon. Take me back,
Jeffrey-take me back. I want to be
your wife again. I am still your wife,
jeffrey. I've never, never been any
thing else!"

she left the board lightly, to float like
an arrow of vivid green and velvety

opposite side of the pool.

in the crowd on the opposite edge.
''Boy!" Tubby's voice held the

Who is she?" Lansdowne asked.
The expression Of ineffable sadness
that rested upon the boys cherublc

ly, lis Jean Lanton-and she seems to
be pretty we'll satisfied with it,
Jean Lanton," Lansdowne repeat
ed softly. That's a pretty name

fellows around her had the same luck
with Miss Lanton?"

the company that misery loves, "she

How long has she been here
Tubby?"
About eight weeks. Funny you
haven't met her"
oh, don't know-I've been here
only about a week, and most of tina:
time I've spent in the mountains"
Yeah" Tubby agreed readily
you're such bug on climbing noun
tains and poking into out-of-the-way
places"
The boy broke off suddenly and let
his eyes run over the bronzed features
OF the older man, saw the firm jaw,
the clear gray eyes, the 1.-THE, athletic
build.
"Say!" he cried, why don't you try
to catch her YOURSELF"
II think" Lansdowne said slowly,
that shall do just that"
Tubby, watching, was amazed to see
the odd light that famed in the
others eyes. DAMN he muttered to
himself, That suggestion of mine
wasn't so hot at that!"

THIS surname Is derived from the
words "orme," meaning elm, and
"by," meaning town-the original
significance being village in the
elms." There remains q village called
Ormsby In the North Riding of York
shire, a relic of the ancient use as a
place name. The Ormsby family
claims Norman descent, and it Is
found that when William the Con-
queror invaded England there was
then living in Lincolnshire family
of Ormsbys headed by Sir Richard de
Ormsby, who, with others of his FAM
lily, became a follower of the Con-
queror. Richard was rewarded by
William the Norman by grants of
lands and manor houses in Lincoln
shire, and the chief bestowed upon
him a coat Of arms. Sir Oswald de
Ormsby, the eldest son of Richard,
became head of the family and
founded the priory of Ormesby dur
ing the reign of Henry II. The name
is now found in many sections Of the
country.

manors during the centuries follow
ing the conquest of England by the
NormanS, and various members of the
family have contributed materially to
English history. Ormsbys were also
seated in Ireland for several centuries.
In Great Britain the name is usually
spelled Ormesby, but in America 1t
has been spelled Ormsby, Armsby,
Amesby. Armesbury. Richard Orms-
by was the founder Of the family in
America. Little is known of his i'm
mediate antecedents in England. He
was in Saco. Me-, a planter" in 164l.
He later moved to Salisbury, Mass,
and in 1649 was admitted a freeman
OF Haverhill. He was in Rehoboth,
Mass, in 1868. There are a great
many descendants of this first settler
living in various sections of the
United States.
