others intelligence and mental ca
pacity.
Chris was happier than she remem-
bered ever having been. Her friend
ship with Mr.. Boscombe and Phil gave
her sense Of security that she had
missed since the death of her parents.
What she earned, coupled with that
which her father had left, gave COM
Portable support to the two sisters.
She was eager for Babe to continue
studying under Antoine, for with her
own understanding of art she could see
that the younger girl had talent and a
singular style, and her one hope was
to be able to hold Babe in check long
enough for her to finish her work.
THEY had many heated arguments
about it. And there came a day
when Babe almost had her own way
in the matter. Some time along the
middle of February, not quite two
months after Johnnie had been sent
off, Chris had a phone call from the
great Antoine himself.
II would like to speak with you alone
soon," he said in his careful English.
Its about the petite-the little one.
I wish you should know something OF
her work"
She'll be out Friday evening" Chris
suggested. Suppose you come then"
The same evening that she had
heard from Antoine she was out with
Phil. They walked for long time,
shifting the nippy air. They laughed
lot, Phil grinning at her and squeez-
ing her arm in mutual appreciation of
the good time they were having. Un-
der a lamp they waited to cross the
boulevard. Chris was thinking. Surely
she knew him well enough by now to
confide in him. Surely there was no
greater proof of friendship than that,
If she could tell him her troubles as he
told her his. She had to speak to some
one about Babe. She could not worry
about it alone.
I'm having my troubles with Babe"
she said, watching his face. To her
dismay his eyes turned opaque, al
though he was still smiling. She
couldn't back out now. though, so she
explained the situation to him.
When she finished he said blankly:
"Oh, don't worry. It will all come out
all right. Things always do. Come on,
Chris, it's time us working folks were
home in bed" There was nothing she
could do but follow.

There is the special call reserved
for the clan, when dire danger in the
form OF q leopard or tiger stalks close
to their hideout. It Is said that for
1000 years there has been a compact
between the lion and the jackal Of
mutual benefit. The jackal gives. the
cry OF alarm, the warned lion being
ready for the leopard or tiger that is
ready to pounce upon him. Being thus
taken unawares it is the lions prize
instead. Then the sentinel !: on hand
to share the spoils.
There Is q variance in the color
combination Of either black, dark gray
or rufous, and In the case Of the
striped jackals there are darker lines
OF hair on the sides and shoulders,
producing the effect Of stripes. Other
Wise tnese animals look much alike,
though the size varies. also.
Withal we find the creature alert,
easily convinced Of your sincerity,

any kind Of food, and apparently enjoy
the taste and favor Of everything

grows. they never pass it by.
They are quick to decide whether
they will like you, and show instant
dlsapproval by exhibiting their teeth.
They rest by reclining at full length

OF his nature that irked the older girl.
And there was his drinking. He over
did 1t time and time again, and Chris
worried when Babe was driving with
him.
But in spite of her relief she did
feel sorry for Babe two nights later
when she came in from telling john

from the usually pert face, Babe
curled up on the couch.
Spare me ever going through an

was actually astonished when read

She said it gayly, but the next
afternoon, sitting in her office watch
ing the almost springlike sunshine
outside, she sighed. 1t was the first
time she had faced eating dinner
alone in the little apartment and she
did not anticipate it eagerly.
Mr.. Boscombe came in, carrying q

there dolefully. heard her sigh.

He seemed to be considering some
thing. At last he said: Look here,
I'm eating downtown tonight; my lit

mother and hate to go home to an
empty house, too. Let's have dinner
together and perhaps go to a show.

Common Jackal
(CaniS aurenS).
By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Y you do not have to be told that
" the jackal Of Africa is a cousin
Of the coyote of our plains and
of the wolves. Their bearing
and figure loudly proclaim the fact.
The range Of the jackal Is through the
southeastern countries of Europe to
India and Ceylon. From Ceylon the
animal extends its range to Assam
and the neighborhood Of Mandalay.
In Northern Africa it Is known to the
inhabitants Of Egypt and Abyssinia
and the districts to the north of the
Sahara. There are some jackals that
enjoy high attitudes; these have been
found from 5000 to 1000 thousand
feet above the sea level in the Hima-

could not find 1t in her heart to be
angry. He was q darling. She did like
him. And she would see him again
Saturday night and everything would
be fine again. It was not long before
she convinced herself Of that.
On Friday evening Antoine came.
He was roly-poly man, very bald,
with a tremendous beard that flowed

that one wondered how he could man.

cannot understand. She Is so beauti-
full. I worship at her feet. Her hair
is like sunrise. I cannot UNDER

Where Is it?"
Chris told him about Johnnie. She
was somewhat perturbed to suddenly
realize that Babe was still sorrowing
over him. Perhaps if she gave up
her dream and let Babe switch to
commercial work she would forget him.
She suggested 1t to Antoine, careful
not to insult him. Even 50, he was
upset.
"Ah, no, my dear" His immense
beard shook with indignation. That
would be calamity. To cramp her
art into bounded space like that
no, that must never happen. I will
not have 1t. have helped her this
far; she must not quit now. Only

He stared earnestly at his shoes.
$50. 1t is because Of love that the
little duckling will not paint. We will
mend it."
And Chris had to be satisfied with
that. Antoine left the house whistling
to himself, and she pondered for a long
time over what he had come for in the
first place. Had he found out what
he wanted to?
IT WAS on a nasty day in March that
she had her unexpected and dis
agreeable encounter with Johnnie. She
literally bumped into him, coming back
from lunch. Just in front Of her ONCE
building. He was tramping along, coat
collar turned up around his ears. head
burrowing into the sharp wind. 1t was
the first time she had seen him since
the party. He sounded friendly enough.

"And Phil slapping me around like
was a baby! I'll flx him for that II
It's the last thing I do
And before Chris could say another
word he tramped off. She knew his
childish threat shouldn't bother her,
but 1t did. Try as she would, the idea
kept cropping up in her work all the
rest Of the day. She remembered that
Babe had told her once that the one
thing she disliked about Johnnie was
his vengeful spirit; that he would wait
months sometimes to pay back some
slight, some hurt, some insult. But he
couldn't do anything to Phil. How fool
ish Of him to think he could, and how
foolish of her to fret over it.
CHE told Babe that night, in a casual
manner, and was none too encour-
aged by the younger girls attitude.
I'm sorry Johnnie took it that way.
I was afraid he might. But don't
imagine there's any way he could pos
sibly retaliate. Knowing Johnnie,
though, he's liable to do most anything.
"Fiddlesticks" Chris laughed. Here
we sit talking about that child as
though he were vested with supernat-
ural and awe-inspiring powers. It's
silly And I don't like being silly. It
isn't ladylike. We're going to forget
about it,
Babe was smiling to herself smugly.
'I've something much more interesting
to tell you," she giggled. IT'S Old Mat
tress Face"
"Who?" asked Chris in astonish-
ment.
"Old Mattress Face-Antoine. We
call him that when he isn't there.
Chris, I think the old dear has a crush
on me-"
Forgetting her dignity. Chris sput-
tered. "A crush on you? But, Babe,
he's bald, and fat, and SO If he's q
day!"
Il won't have you running down my
boy friends like that. Honestly, dar-
ling, he's been q sweet angel these
last few weeks. Treats me like q
queen. He follows me around like q
devoted slave. and gives me so much
extra attention that the kids in the
class are beginning to tease us about
it. And he's such q goose: he acts
as II he didn't know what they mean,
and goes right on"
Chris began to see the light. An.
tones parting speech came back to
her. So this was what he was going
to do about 1t. Make Babe forget
Johnnie quickly. She laughed out
loud
He IS . good egg. I always said I
liked him."
