MOngOOSe, Death
To Cobra, Is Not
Worthy of Trust

THE mongoose, that odd-looking
little animal about the size Of a
woodchuck, is a temperamental and
not altogether reliable friend of man.
But it has proved valuable in the
tropics because Of its fearless attacks
on the poisonous cobra.
Indeed. stories have It. that the
cobra's poison is not harmful to the
mongoose. But that is true only be-
cause the mongoose is agile and
swift enough to avoid the vicious
snakes bite.
A dose Of cobra poison Is quite as
deadly to the mongoose as it is to
any other creature. But the mon
goose is so swift that it can afford
to be daring, and it attacks the cobras
and other snakes with a valor which
has won the admiration of men. It
kills snakes by biting them suddenly
and fatally at the back of their necks
and having killed them, it eats
them with great relish.
The mongoose lives in India and
Africa, and it is, so far as climate
goes, a very delicate little animal.
A chill has more terror for the mon
goose than the fangs of a snake, for
it quickly succumbs to cold. Indeed,
its term of life is only about two
years at best.
Because of its passion for eating
snakes and rats, the slongoose is valu-
able to man. and in India and Africa,
it is often tanned and kept as a cher
ished pet in homes. But it's quick
temper makes it dangerous house
animal, and its bite is as unexpected
as it is vicious.
Imported Into West Indies.
Even so, its virtues were believed
to outweigh its faults until 1872, when
it was imported into the West Indies
in the hope that it would save the
sugar plantations from destruction by
rats-as indeed it did for some years.
Then the rats learned to live and
breed in the trees, where they were
quite safe from the sharp, swift teeth
of the mongoose-and where they
might launch raids on the sugar cane
from havenS of safety.

They are used for rolling and aiming
the marbles at the tiny horses on the
track.
The object of the game is for a
player to get his horse across the
board or track to win position first.
This may only be accomplished by hit
ting the horse with a marble rolled
from the chute. The chutes may be
held in any position in the space
marked start" and aimed, so the
rolling marble will hit the base Of
the horse to move it an inch or more
over the track. Many shots will be
required to do this; but. by keeping a
steady flow Of well-amed marbles
rolling from your chute, you can win
the game.
Be sure to pick up your marble
after 1t has hit your horse. so as
to keep a clear track. The closer
a horse gets to "win," the more excit.
ing the game becomes, and as the
horse approaches the finishing line,
the more careful the aim of the player
must be, in order to hit the horse
sufficiently hard to move II Just .

but that was the story that had got
around and he took terrible riding
as result of it. And for several days
thereafter he didn't even dare bring
out the lacrosse stick When he
finally did, the other boys were some
what impressed, but the triumph was
far from as sweet as it should have
been.
And Jed, smarting under the jibeS
that still came his way, decided that
all girls were pills" and that he'd
get even with Caroline Twill if it was
the last thing he ever did For he
finally discovered that Caroline. and
not Harold Granger, had been re-
sponsible for the spread of the story.
That saved him the trouble of punch
ing Harold in the nose, but getting
even with a girl was a tougher prob
lem.
His chance to do so came purely
by accident a week later. About 8
o'clock one evening his mother asked
him to return a book which she had
borrowed from one Of her friends.
On the way he passed new house
which was being built just few
doors beyond Caroline's home.
AS he passed the new house he
made a note that he would have to
visit it the next day to see how it
was coming along. But on the return
trip he glanced at it idly and then
suddenly halted in his tracks
The structure stood well back from
the street, partly hidden by tall trees,
so that a passer-by could hardly see it.
But through a break in the foliage
Jed got a good view of one window.
and he saw that there was a dim
light in the house!
"HOLY cat!" he murmured in sur
- prise. Nov, what do you sup
pose is going on in there?"
For a moment he hesitated. The
idea Of ghosts fitted through his
mind. but ghosts were supposed to
inhabit old houses and not new ones
still uncompleted. A great wave of
curiosity flooded over Jed. too power
full to be resisted. He simply had to
see what that light meant!
Rising on his tiptoes, he carefully
turned in from the street and walked
toward the dark shape of the house.
Yes, the light was there, all right. It

Glycerine Added
