Seventy Varieties of Birds Around
Crater Lake in Oregon, Bulletin Says

The abundant life is shared by a
wide variety of birds finding head
quarters in the sanctuary at Crater
Lake National park in Oregon.
There are more than seventy vari-
cites in the park. Bird notes are
heard continually, according to a
news bulletin issued by the park
service.
The Eagle Craggs have furnished
nesting places for the golden eagle
and the American bald eagle; Lilac
Rock is the home of falcons. o.
preys have been seen and the
horned owl forages nightly. Cali
fornia gulls visit the park and black
cormorants are known to have
nested and raised their young on the
lake. There are ravens and half a
dozen varieties of hawks. Canvas

'This maid had a lover, a regular
swell,
A cross-legged ruffian and bow-eyed

He said, Let US fly by the light Of

For you are the eye of my apple,

"Just then her old papa appeared,
1t appears,
And looked at the scene with eyes

His daughter embraced, her pale

Then he rushed with his nose at her

"He looked at her lover and told

He drew horse pistol, twas raised

Said her lover, I'll die if stay, 1t

1t was INA Burrage, and the look

Scorn.
Frank Merriwell didn't sleep well
that night. He couldn't forget the
look of scorn Inza Burrage had
flashed at him before coaxing Bart
Hodge back into the house. She
had called Frank cheap, and the
queer thing about it was that she
had made him feel cheap. He hadn't
foreseen that she might resent his
little joke as personal affront.
There had been another unexpect-
ed kick-back in that joke. It had
given Hodge grand chance to play
the gallant hero, and he had not
missed the trick. Like Inza, no
doubt, the other girls at Belinda
Snodd's party had been filed with
great admiration by his excellent
performance.
In Franks room, after the az

The mystery of Hodges disap-

At last he saw Merriwell returning.
But he was walking slowly and his

The third time Stinson came to

but when he saw the lanky first

belt and burned one over.
Frank, assuming an easy stance,
slapped the first ball pitched into

safe on first base.
Confidence was written over Stin-

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Arpil l.
U.P)-Two days ago this wire was
delivered to me in New York as
sat at my desk and wondered just
how long it had been since I had
licked the dasher of an ice cream
freezer:

from Daytona Beach. The st.

And the manager of the Cardinals

who refused to meet my demands
when I was a rookie with the
Cardinals, forcing me to become
a holdout.
The wire it seemed TO me. could
mean but one thing and it chased
the thoughts of ice cream daShers
out of my head. Frisch had sur
rendered. He wanted me to hurry
south and start playing shortstop
for StLouis And to show that
he felt no bitterness he had simply
signed his first name to the wire.
My heart sang as I packed to
take a plane within an hour
which would rush me to the aid
of those who needed me. / could
once again feel screaming bunts
coming off my bat; I could feel
the ball slipping through my fin
gers; could almost hear the roar
of the crowd as / was taken out

Those were my feelings in New

when I reached Daytona Beach
