Zoo Animals Turn Popular Beliefs to Fables

An elephants memory is no long
er than its tail. Humming birds, SO
fragile that they seem winged in
sects, are greedier than pigs. Mon
keys prefer popcorn to bananas. The
house cat is more cruel than beast
Of the jungle.
In fact, name any popular belief
about animals and it's good two to
one bet that it is wrong.
That's the conclusion of experts
after actual observation at the Chi
cago Geological park at Brookfield.
Consider the elephant, most ma
ligned of the animal kingdom.
He is supposed to live the $3.50
years of Methuselah, but instead
lives only the three score and ten
of man. The female is said to breed
at the age of 40 or so; in reality, she
breeds at six and eight years. Her
pregnancy is said to endure seven
years; as a matter of fact, it is 10
months, which is short enough. con-
sidering the size Of her offspring.
And the elephants memory! Leg
end says it is enduring, tenacious.
Do an elephant an injury today and
he will repay you in kind Is years
later. Brookfield officials say this i
applesauce.

"Look at me-"

Look at me-"
His eyes were hardly less fiery
than the glowing end of his ciga-
rette. They made Lynn's flesh tin
gle. He threw away the cigarette.
Lynn, you romantic girl, this
scene enchants you because love
has stolen on you unaware. Neither
of US until now has ever known
what love is"

she retorted.
"You know l know it. You are

There isn't in all India such a

How do you know? It's true, isn't
it, that most of them are kept in
seclusion and you're not allowed to
see them? Is that why you make
love to me? Why not burgle ze-
nana?"
Lynn" he said, st don't make

are love itself, as a musician be-

One Sunday afternoon the Sd
lence was shattered by the sound
ef an uproar from the kitchen.
Voices were raised in indigna-
ton; there were loud and violent
arguments and much humping
and banging about.
The mistress of the house hur-
Fied down to investigate and
reached the kitchen just as the
sngry voices reached q deafening
eTescendo Of sound.

'Short cut. Don't you try it. Horse

All right, I'll follow the road.
Meet me in camp"
O'Leary vanished. Norwood had
ridden another fifty yards when he
heard angry shouting, several times
repeated. He wasn't sure, but he
thought he also heard a girls voice.
He rode forward slowly and then, a
bit alarmed by the ensuing silence,
stirred his horse to a canter. He
drew rein, looking upward at Lynn,
not much more than two or three
minutes after Rundhia had left her.
She was sitting in full moonlight on
top Of the wall, on cushion, with
one foot hanging over the wall and
her back against the kiosk.
"Hello!" he remarked. Ibid Run

HE said he'd come back"

"You don't look it. had guessed
you as eighteen. However, no doubt
you know how to take care of your
self among men of your own race.
I'm taking it for granted that you're
a nice girl with sense Of humor
but bit rebellious against certain
sorts of restraint. All this is new,
and you're enjoying it. You like the
Indian setting, and the novelty and
the moonlight and all that stuff"
Don't your"

not like to hear of you making a
mess of your life for the sake of a
spot of excitement. You don't I'M

A shadow moved. Someone chuck
led:
Doesn't she?"
Rundhia doomed on the wall with
guitar in his hand. He. smiled
down at Norwood. The moonlight
shone on his teeth.
1--WE were reaching a beautiful un-
derstanding," said Rundhia. "Are
you on your way to camp? Well, it's
a grand night for a ride. Sorry
you're tired and sleepy"
Norwood eased his horse a little
nearer to the wall. He gave the
reins to the sails. In another mo-
ment he was standing upright on the
saddle, with his head within six
inches of the top of the wall:
81 am not SO sleepy as perhaps
look" he answered. "Give me a
hand up, Rundhia."
Lynn watched. This was some
thing altogether new in her expert
ence. Rundhia hesitated. Moonlight
betrayed him. Rundhia felt tempted
to refuse. But he hadn't the iron.
He could have scared the horse and
made Norwood look ridiculous. But
he hadn't the nerve. Lynn felt sor-
ry for him. With shrug he handed
the guitar to her, in order to use
both hands to help Norwood scram-
. BILE up the wall.
"You weren't invited" said Run
dhia.
Norwood stared. mo. noticed it.
Can you strum on that thing?"
Lynn spoke with all the malice she
co;s,l put into her voice:
You like music, Captain Nor
wood? / supposed your line was en-
cheering and ordering peopls
about"

Lynn laughed: That's testimo-
NAL for me! But thank you, I'll take
care of Aunty."
NO." said the doctor. He caught
Rundhia's eye. Rundhia came to
his rescue and made signals to the
Maharanee, who wanted nothing
better than to have Lynn under her
own roof.
Lynn, dear, please do as the doc
tor tells you. Please, please"
Aunty groaned and protested that
it was shame to inflict Lynn on the
Maharanee, but she was overruled.
She was carried out on an impro-
vised litter and rushed to the guest
house, where Lynn's belongings
were collected by the servants and
conveyed to the palace.

knew it. She enjoyed it. It was
cool and beautiful beneath the MOON
Lit trees in the garden.
You are the strangest mixture of
intelligence and innocence that I
have ever met" said Rundhia. "You
are in love with all this You are
thrilled by the exotic strangeness.
But it's all old stuff to me, remem-
Der. I'm babe in the woods, too.
In certain sense. I'm as lost as
you are. Things and places don't
make life worth living. It's the peo-
pie in the places, and the things
they do together. If you loved me
and I loved you
But neither of us does," Lynn in
terrupted. '.We are East and West.
Europe delights you because you
can't ever really understand it. And
the East enraptures me for the same
reason"
So we've that much in common"
said Rundhia. ''Let me tell you
something else we have in COM
mon. We like each other"
do WEI"
"Yes. One would have to be blind,
deaf, demented, not to like you.
What's wrong with me?"
Lynn's defensive tactic was
thousand times more shrewd than
Aunty would dream of giving her
credit for:

What will you do with it?"
His arm crept around her. He
hardly knew how she slipped away
from him. She waltzed away. She
ran along the path, her arms ex-
tended to embrace the moonlit
luxury of hue and view and per-
fumed flowers. By the time he over
took her, her retort was ready:
Perhaps you don't like men with
red hair?"
II am looking" he answered, "at
your hair. want to bury my hands
in it. battle my face in it, breathe

"Boraxl l washed it and the wa

She escaped him again. Her black
pajamas vanished into shadow; she
became a beautiful, disembodied
head in golden aureole that asked:

didn't ask him.
well, why didn't you ask him?"
II didn't care"
"Good!" said Rundhia. I'm 60
ing to make you care about some
thing else. Come along. I'll be-
have. Come this way
He led her up steps to the top of
the ancient garden wall. There was
a summerhouse on the wall, a sort
of kiosk; it had been swept and
provided with cushions by servant
who crouched in shadow. Rundhia
ordered the servant away. He went
and lurked at the foot Of the steps.
but Rundhia shouted at him and he

garden wall in moonlight"
Rundhia sensed that he had cast
his fly too boldly. She wasn't hooked
She needed more subtle persuasion.
He shouted to the servant to fetch
the guitar. There was no answer !:
the servant had taken him too strict
ly at his word, he was out of ear
shot. Rundhia shouted again and
again. He swore under his breath.
Then he governed his anger and
smiled at Lynn:
will you WIT here if go and
get it?"
Eyes, but
"What?"
you look murderous. Don't whip
the servant"
His undercover man was waiting
for him in the usual place, by the
gate in the wall that separated the
Maharajah's palace from Rundhia's
IAN unimportant-looking but pecu-
liarly unmeek Hindu, who spoke in
a low voice without preliminary ges-
lures of respect:
1.-THE priests have learned of Cap
tain Norwood's arrival. They sent
me to speak with his Eurasian spy,
O'Leary, who is a reptile. O'Leary
has already detected the opening of
the mine"
Rundhia thought swiftly, and
spoke slowly: go and tell the
priests that Captain Norwood is here
to line his own pocket. Say he is
in debt and seeks an opportunity tc
pay his debts. His secret report
will be in favor of the highest bid
der. But don't say you heard it
from me. Say O'Leary was drunk
and you heard it from him. Make
it perfectly clear to the priests that
any other officer than Norwood
would be scrupulously fair, so let
them think about it,"
Then Rundhia founc. q servant in
the garden Of his own palace and
sent him running 10 fetch the guitar.
