Fish aren't short-lived creatures
Many live longer than animals. For
instance, carp get to be $50 years old
and pike 200 years old! Your family
goldfish may live to be so years old.
Incidently captivity doesn't short
en- the lives of wild animals. Actual
ly, it is likely to lengthen their life
spans, because it affords them protec-
ton from "the law of the wild" Tig-
ers, untamable, live as long in cages
as in the jungle.

CHAPTER vlI-continued

Barley SCOOQ Dy the HOLLIS anu tolu
us his tale.
We dared not return to the castle
before ten minutes past one, for
Lass was IL miles from Yorick. We
had, therefore, ten minutes to
spare much against our will, for
that Pharaoh was racing for Yorick
we had not a shadow of. doubt.
Still, to be uneasy was foolish;
that day I had done the journey as
Pharaoh was doing it now. If Pha-
raoh had the luck of the devil, we
might expect to see him at half-past
one.
So, as we had time to spare, Bar
ley stood by the Rolls and told US
his tale.
"A wire come on Monday, sir, a
little later than usual, about ten
o'clock. Return at once it said
and it bore your name. Well, we
left as sharp as we could-for Viii
ZACH, of course; but. when we gets
out at Villach, there amt no car to

Ger could wire, he could send car.
1t may be all right, but we'd bet

from the farm. Then we enters the
woods on foot. It was just about
ha1f-past four when we sights the
house. Everything looks as usual

an no one about. But Mr.. Bohun's
uneasy. Mustn't rush in he says.

hadn't hardly spoken before Rush
comes out on the apron, as bold as

Il give you my word, sir, that
shook us. We made sure they'd
got you all right. But Of course we
couldn't do nothing until it was
dark. Then we crept in and 'ad
closeup" He drew in his breath.
'Those two-Rush and Bugle-
they're simple, that's what they are.
They're like a turn on the 'alls.
You could walk right in between
them, before they'd know you were
there. For 'alf an hour that eve
ming we listened to what they said,
and of course we very soon knew
that Pharaoh'd got his foot in the
castle and you was away.
"Well, we had to have quarters
somewhere, so Mr.. Bohun comes
here. The last place they'll look,
he says, and the best know Then
we starts in watchin' the castle and

was all we could do, for to look for

I where to begin. But we knew where
Pharaoh was, and we made up our
minds to get him, for once he was
out of the way, all roads were
clear"
Barley closed his eyes and pushed
back his hat.
"D'you think we could get tina

AS the warden stepped out on

"Has anyone entered the castle

The porter replied:
