5 ** Bedtime Story for Children By THORNTON W. BURGESS THE HUNTER LOSES HIS TEMPER \ \ v \ nPHE banter, hidden near the pond ^ of Paddjr the Beaver, chuckled a. allently. That is to say, he laughed "without making any sound. He had watched Mr. and Mrs. Quack feeding along the edge of the pond down towards Paddy’s dam, behind the end of which"* Reddy Fox had been hidden. Reddy had been waiting for those Ducks Just as the hunter himself waa waiting for Lightfoot the Deer. Then along came Sammy Jay and spied Red- them because he was hungry. The hunter would have shot them for sport; He dldn!t need them. He had plenty of other food. Reddy Fox never kills Just for the pleasure of killing. V So the hunter continued to sit In his hiding place with very friendly feel ings for Sammy Jay. Sammy watched Reddy Fox disappear and then flew over to that side of the pond where the hunter was. Mr. and Mrs. Quack called their thanks- to -Sammy, to which he replied that he had done no more for them than he would do for anybody, or than they would have done for him. For some time Sammy sat quietly in the top of the tree, but all the time his sharp eyes were very busy. By and by, he spied the hunter sitting on the log. At first he couldn’t make out Just what|lt was he was looking at. It. didn’t move, nevertheless Sammy was suspicious. Presently, he flew over to a tree where he could see better. . Right away he spied the ter rlhle gun and he knew Just what it was. Once more he began to yell. “Thief! Thief I Thief!” at the top of his lungs. It was then that the hunter lost his temper. He knew that, now he had been discovered by Sammy Jay, It was useless to remain th$re. He was angry clear through. He no longer had a friendly feeling for Sammy Jay. C T. W.

At once\he had begun to scream at the top oKhls lungs, “Thief! Thief! Thief!” MrXand Mrs. Quack had understood him perfectly.. They swam out to the middle of the pond while Reddy Fox, knowing that It was useless ^o stay longer with Sammy • Jay about, had snarled aqgrlly and then taken himself off through >he Green Forest. The hunter thought It a greit Joke on Reddy. , To tell the truth, hev ^ very much pleased. He wanted tn<Jse Ducks himself. He suspected that wouid stay in that little pond for som^ days, and he planned to return there and shoot them after he had got Light- foot the Deer. He wanted to get Lightfoot first, and he knew that to shoot at anything else might spoil his chance of getting a shot at Lightfoot “Sammy Jay did me a good turn,” thought the hunter, “although he doesn’t know It Reddy Fox certainly would have caught one of those Ducks had Sammy not come along Just when he did. It would have been a shame to have one of them caught by that fox. I mean to get one and, I hope,, both of tflem myself.” Now when you come to think of it, It would have been a far greater shame for ihe hunter to have killed Mr. and Mrs. Quack than for Reddy Fox to have done so.

MARK TH1JM3 NAIL, MYSTERIOUS CRAYON cook who wastes nothing, but serves her food in a dainty, appetizing man ner, is a real genius and her talents are ever In demand. It Is not always wise to tell jdl one knows as to the contents of a dish, for some conscientious objectors will refuse to try a made-over dish, or re arranged food. Now, who will dare to call a steamed pudding a leftover? Yet one may pre pare a most tasty one with a few squares of corn bread, a cupful of leftover cocoa, a hit of oatmeal, a few raisins and a couple of egg yolks left from some Icing or dessert Use the things you have at hand- anyone who knows little about foods can prepare a good meal If the mar ket can be called upon with no regard to expense. Do you use the half-cupful, more or less, of leftover Ice cream in a cake or pudding? ♦ . Leftover custard may be^p^ed the next day for a pudding sauce.

S EVERAL crayons are utilized in this trick. Each crayon is of a different color. The fyigician dis tributes the crayons and turns his back. He asks that one crayon be placed in his hand, the others hidden. This is done. The magician’s hands are behind his back; whin he faces the spectators, he keeps his bands so he cannot see them. Again turning his back toward the people, he lets them take back the crayon which he :1s bolding. It is hidden with the rest Although the wizard has gained no opportunity to glimpse the crayon, he promptly raises his fingertips to his forehead and in a mysterious tone an nounces the x color of the crayon that was used. The secret is as simple as it is clever. While he turns about, holding the crayon behind him, the magician marks one thumb nail. After the spectators regain the crayon, he raises his hand to his forehead. That action lets him see the colpr of the mark on the nail WNU Sanrtc*.

NO MARINE ANIMAL IS SAFE FROM THE TERRIBLE SAWFISH - - I A sawfish is an oceanic shark standing in structure between the rue sharks and the rays, as a mem* >er of the family Prlstldae, in which Tour or five species are grouped. Some of these strange end terrifle creatures grow to a length of 20 feet and saws six feet long and 2 Inches wide are not uncommon la museums. In general form this fish s slender and sharklike with ex- raordlnary swimming power dne te a full supply of strong fins, notably that of the tall; and It Is armed with formidable weapon. The head la fiat and its Jaws are continued for ward in a narrow but strong blunt projection of cartilaginous rods (tha rostrum), covered with tough hide, which is nearly a third aa long aa the body, and the edges of which are studded along each side with firmly-- fixed bony teeth. Some South sea savages Imitated it exactly in mak- ng their cruel, flat-'bladed spear- heads, set with sharks’ teeth. Flesh- hungry and ferocious In Its disposi tion and predatory habits, this ban dit rushes into a group of fishes, or at anything eatable It may meet, and, striking right and left “it cuts and slashes, tearing off pieces of flesh or ripping open the abdomen of its op ponent.” These bloody fragments are then seized by the mouth on tha underside of the head and greedily^ swallowed whole. No marine animal Is too big to be safe from attack, and this fish is by far tha wont enemy pf whales, which It fearfully lacerates and sometimes kills. Sawfishes abound In the tropics, but often follow the Gulf stream, the Japanese current, and other rela tively warm waters far from the equator. They are most numer ous, however, near shores and often ascend large riven as the lower Mississippi, and one species Inhabits Lake Nicaragua. They de not produce eggs, as Is the rule among both sharks and raye, but bring forth their young alive. Saw fish an taken by fishermen for the value of their rough skin.

Amazed by their beauty and num her, he could not think of enough saints in whose honor to name them So he took a short cut and called them the Virgin Islands.
