Jeb had had an exceptionally prof

Jeb was exultant. He had never
been so right. He had made money
not only for himself but every client
for whom he traded and whom he ad-
vised. He had lived in a chorus of
acclaim and gain all day.
He ran halfway upstairs to meet Ag-

Pandas Live in Trees

The panda, not to be confused
with the giant panda, is scientific
puzzle. In some ways he looks
and acts as if he might be rela-
tive of the raccoon. In other ways
he seems to be kinfolk to bears.
Scientists never have been able to
decide this question, so they gave
him a family name of his own,
Aelurus fulgens. In their native
Nepal, pandas live in holes in trees
and sometimes hide among the
rocks. They are nocturnal crea-
lures, and it is customary for them
to have twins. Their cry is a sud-
den squawl.
