Two, rarely three, eggs are laid!
They are always held together by
O sticky substance, and they look
like snakes eggs. The mother keeps
them warm and they hatch in three
weeks. The babies are hungry, and
soon find the milk glands; which they
rub against until the desired liquid
begins to drip from the small pores
(there is no nipple). They look ex-
actly alike. The mother uses her
rudderlike tail to hold the twins while
they nurse. In two months they are
ready to hunt luscious worms.
Platypus are happy, gentle and
fearless of their human brother. They
would make lovely pets. but their ap-
petites would keep the owner too

There could be no mistake. Bobby
began to worry as he listened.
II do believe it Is my trail he is on
now" muttered Bobby. THAT other
Coon must have circled around until
he struck my trail and then used a
smart trick to get that Dog OF his
own trail onto mine. Yes, sir, he
must have done just that very thing.
Oh, dear, what shall do now?"
There was one thing he had to do,
whether or not he wanted to. and that
was take to his heels. There was no
help for 1t. He could climb tree,
but that would do him no good II
there were two-legged hunters with
that Dog, and he felt sure that this
was the case. So Bobby began to run,
and now he headed in the direction
that would be the shortest distance
to his home. He must get where the
hunters would not follow.
Presently Bobby began to pant and
puff. He was fat. He was altogether
too fat to run far or fast. It was long
since he had done any running. He
was in no condition for it. He had
known that from the start. That Dog
was gaining fast. Every yelp sounded
nearer. Bobby painted and pulled
little harder.
II shall. have to take to tree"
thought Bobby. There is no help fol
it, unless" He didn't finish. In
stead of continuing straight. he began
to circle. There was q determined
gleam in Bobby's eyes. He was cir.

~ NE glance at this creature,
and you know there Is fas-
I cinating story behind those
~ bright eyes, duck bill, fur
coat and webbed feet. 1t Is some
combination for one animal. But the
life story of the duckbill platypus is
wonderful from beginning to end.
In the first place, we are deeply
indebted to DR.. Carl c. Hartman and
Harry Burrell for the valuable infor-
nation secured by painstaking efforts
about this unusual outdoor child. That
the duckbilled platypus has been
sort of undiscovered is one Of the
mysteries, but it is grand to get 50
much information about the gentle
inhabitant of the eastern rivers OF
Australia.
OF . home loving disposition, the
blatypus remains in one vicinity as
long as food can be obtained. 1t seems
to be always hungry. and Is only salts
fed when the daily consumption is
about one-fourth its total weight. A
platypus Is fully grown when 80
months old, about ~ inches long. and
weighs ~ pounds.
The trim little body is covered with
lovely, soft fur. The back and sides
are q lovely reddish brown, shading
into yellow, with . cast Of silver on
the under parts. There are no two
Of these creatures exactly alike in
coloration. The ladies are somewhat
F,,~ fc
The tail is covered with very dark,
coarse hair on the upper surface,
while the under part Is almost bare.
1t is most important as a rudder and
sometimes to move small objects.
As a pedestrian, though awkward,
1t makes good time by walking on its
closed front feet, doubled up fist-
fashion. In swimming, the legs are
flattened out, the tail being a guide
to the platypus, as it glides swiftly
through the water. The feet are
turned in such a way that they act
as oars, 50 that the swimmer may be
stationary. The front feet are used
;for swimming, the hind ones keeping
the duckbill right side up. Should
anything happen to upset the boat,
q roll or 50 will adjust matters again.
Tadpoles, worms and grubs are
hunted for. The hunting is done in
muddy, dirty water; resting where it
Is nice and clear.

ton from which Bobby had come,
Dog was barking. A feeling of un-
easiness crept over Bobby as he lis

that Dog barking on the trail Of
Reddy Fox or some other of Bobby's
neighbors? 1t didn't take long for
him to decide. A dog barked like that
on but one kind of trail-the trail
OF q Coon.
Bobby listened long and carefully.
At last he sighed softly. 1T isn't my

trail of that fellow met. I don't
wish him any harm. but I certainly
am glad that that Dog is after him

Wendt's father, C. P. Simpkins, near
Calvert. Wells was brought to Union
Hospital suffering from three bullet
wounds and injuries about the head
inflicted by Wendt with the butt of
the revolver after he had shot him.
Wells condition is not considered crit
ical.
Wells, charged by Wendt with break
ing up his home, working on an auto
mobile at Simpkins' home when he
was shot. Simpkins heard the shots
and went to the garage where he
found Wendt beating the wounded
man over the head with the butt end
of the revolver. Simpkins grabbed
the gun but upon promise by Wendt
that he would go home he handed the
weapon back to him. Wendt prompt
ly reloaded and told Simpkins he was
then going to kill his (Wendt's) wife.
Simpkins called State Officer Marvin
D. Brubaker, who notified others Of
ficers at Oxford that Wendt was on
his way to Gallop's home. Before Of
ficers at Oxford could reach the Gal
lop home Wendt had arrived and shot
his wife and then turned the gun upon
himself.
Wells had worked for Wendt when
the latter operated a farm near Gen.
treville. They only recently came to
that county and were staying with the
Gallops.

fully worked by Julie! It was as
though at that moment a panorama
of events, apparently trifling in them
selves but taken together, dangerous
ly effective, unrolled itself before the
wide, clear, understanding eyes of Vir-
GINA as she stood there, viewing Julie
and Henry on the sofa.
What would he say?
She saw him draw back from Julie
with short, embarrassed laugh.
"The time for that sort of thing is
long over, Julie. Let's not pretend"
Julie made a queer sound. "Of

said, rising hastily and going direct

ginia had to step back quickly in or

there. She tiptoed after Henry as he
went down the corridor.
A wise woman, she said nothing of
what she had seen and heard. Henry
was all hers. He'd proved it-that
was sufficient!
cts boy, Mrs. Van lyle. A beau
tiful boy" Family she heard those
words in her room in the hospital.
There were flowers everywhere, it
seemed, as she turned her head to look
at the tiny, flower-like creature that
lay beside her.
Henry knelt by her bed. He held
her hand. His face was radiant with
relief and happiness.
The specialist for once had been
wrong. Virginia made quick recev-
cry, and in less than three weeks, she
and the baby and the baby's nurse
were out of the hospital and ensconsed
in charming small cottage in West

is true. But it had been Virginia S

SHORE FARMER KILLS
WIFE AND HIMSELF

Considerable excitement was caused
in the upper section of Queen Anne
county Wednesday last when Altman
Wendt, 81, farmer of near Centreville
shot and killed his wife, Catherine,
80, and then turned the gun upon him
self and ended his own life. The MUIR
der and suicide occurred at the home
of Herbert Gallup, near Oxford. Prev
iously Wendt emptied his revolver at
Richard Wells at the home of Mrs.
