"Well, well." said Tinker to Mr. Kingfisher as he came to a standstill Jon the edge of his house, "I never Iknew that you lived in a place lika this." "O Kinsr. I have livett here all my Rife, and that hole just below is whcr-j my father and mother live and the one over here is where my grand father and grandmother live. e have all lived hero all of our lives." Then Mr. Kingfisher made a rnttlinar eound and Mrs. Kingfisher came to ihj door. Tinker Bob had not noticed the big fish that the fisherman held tightly in his claws till now. He brought it home to his mate and it was a nne catch too and not dead yet. Mrs. Kingfisher took the fish and went through the same action as her srood husband by thumping: the lively fellow on the side of the hole where they live 1. Wen she was satisfied that it was deal she took it back into the dining: room and ate It. Tinker happened to jet a good look into the dining room and he saw more fish bones there than ht had ever seen in one place before. "Well. I'm glad to know where you live, Mr. Kingfisher, but it s getting dark and I will have to take these companions of mine back to the Tal ace." "O King, if you will wait till the twi light you will see another fishing party. There will be a dozen or more arriving verv soon now." "Why. will Mr. Groat Blue Heron bring his friends to fish when it sets dark? I didn't see'' him do much fish ing today. He merely waited to see if any of the stray fish would conn where he was." "O King, that's the way Mr. Heron fishes all the time. He never hunts for fish, he always waits till they come to him. Put he has gone home Mr. Heron doesn't like the dark very well and always starts home in plenty of time, for his family does not like to stay alone in the dark. Put if yo i want to see a big fishing party just wait till the sun goes down." Tinker Bob spoke to Silky about stay ing to see the fishing party. "I'd iusl as soon stay as not if there will be no Turtles in the party." "This isn't a Turtle party, Silky. This is a Fishing party, and I can't for the life of me imagine who it can be that's going to fish after dark." Ti.i- I j '" She took it back into the dining room and ate it. silence for a moment. The sun had smiled at tne iving 01 the Forest for the last time and tha shadows were srettintr longer, twilight was coming fast. "If they are going o nsn over mere wnere mi. ntiun nau ed all dav we will have to hurry back," 1 said Major role cat. So they hurried back to the nsning place and when they arrived they hpnnl a sound like the Quacking c;f manv ducks. But Tinker knew that niir-irs wirp not fishermen and thev would not be quacking at this time in the twilight. Who do you suppose they found fishing? Next Tinker Bob Meets Blacky.

AMERICAN FARMERS REJECT COLONY PLAN Lima. Peru. Sept. 15. Ten members of the partv of American farmers, most- ly from the Western part of the i United States who recently left here i to establish a farm colony in the Pampa del Sacramento Valley along i the eastern head waters of the Ar. aor river in northern Peru, have abjndon ed the project and fie of them have returned to Lima. The whole party which left her Mas in clia'co of J. L! Schoenfelt. of Onikulsre Okla., for merly United St iis Indian agent f;ir Oklahoma territory The returned colon !Ats brought Saks of hardships enco-jntirid and reporied that the districts they had visited n the slope of the Amason were unfjver able to their 5?c.i?'tie ff colonizat.'cn. Schoenfelt ard the renjainder of lbo party are conti iumg the journey wih a view to reacMng their ultimate des tination on the Sacramento pampas where they have srims cf land. Some of the r.t'iv.i-d members of tlie party propose to locate ir. Lima or vi cinity. The group of American farmers who left Lima for the interior of Peru in July was an advance guard of a col onization scheme said to involve mora than 200 families from the western prt of the United States. Mr. Schoenfelt was quoted as saying in Lima that he had obtained a grant" of 650.000 acres of agricultural and forestry land from the Peruvian government and that the the American farmers would have ob tained farms there at the cost of a few cents per fee simple as soon as 200 families had been settled on the concession.

Well. fihf wmiW Inst how gay a time he could have with other women, it would do her good. Take some of the conceit out of her, maybe. And with this thought in his mind he drew Arilne, all delighted, to him, even as Cherry stood gazing, fondly thinking that surely by now her Neddy would be wanting a dance from her. And with abandon he danced with his starry-eyed partner, this infuriated husband. He looked down into her eyes as often as possible, and enjoyed tn the full the rpsnnneos that flashed frorn Arline's face and eyes to his own.

The kin of Rurutu, one of the Austral Group southwest of here in the South Sea--, is troubled by the discovery of valuable minerals on his island. The natives of the Austral Islands do not want white people amonsf them, and they put every obstacle po-3 sible in the way of Europeans who would settle there. They own thei" own schooners and bring their island produce to Papeete from time to time, and carry back with them such sup plies as they need. Thus they avoid frequent visits of white men's schoon ers. They make no secret of their aver sion and say openly that they do not want white men to come on any errand whatsoever. While Rurutu is part of the colony owned by France the government cr the island is still in the hands of the hereditary king of Rurutu who directs the affairs of his people subject to the veto of the Governor-General tf the colony at Papeete. The old king has resented the threat ened exploitation of his island and has attempted to apply the principle that a concession given is not valid in his dominion. JOHN WOOD TO CHARLESTON.

Phones 1505-1506 MAYBE IT DEPENDS ON THE POWDER If you want to be an old maid, kiss your sweetheart goodnight. This was the cheerful information conveyed to girls of America by Dr. Charles E. Baker, eminent psychologist, in an address here in which he brought forward a solution for the age-old prob lem, "Sweet Sixteen, Can I Kiss You Good-Night?" "There is nothing wrong." declared Dr. Baker, "in a young man giving his girl a kiss before he parts with her at night. "There is nothing wrong in that but, girls, don't let them do it." Continuing the psychologist said: "More girls have been robbed of fu ture husbands as a result of the good night kiss than for any other reason Girls, do you want me to tell you a secret?. Well, it's this. After ,i man kisses, a girl he doesn't want her. independent girls like Arline were not the best sort for a man like nimseiir Arline seemed infinitely lovely and womanly in every way, to Ned, as he danced with her. And every now and then he felt her whole being lean to wards him supplicatingly. Here' was a eirl who would give up the whole world for the asking. This Ned well knew. She had loved him for three years now unswervingly. That in itself, was a recommendation after what he had seen tonight- Andat one time she had almost offered herself to him in a rash moment at the end of a bitter quarrel, when she had been over whelmed with joy at their reunion. Yes. she was that kind of a generous soul, this Arline. He had been a fool not to have responded to her fire and sav ed himself his present heartache. Girls like Cherry, girls that let all men kiss them for the asking. What did Arthur Hamlen think of him now? Again, at these wild thoughts, he sud denly strained the girl in his arms to him slightly, but not so slightly that Arline, all alertness now, did not get it. She smiled up at him through hum idly love-lit eyes. "Come," he commanded, almost rough ly, "we'll sit out the next two dances. Come!" (To be continued.)

Phot tir A chivalrous episode comes to us from Connecticut, which teaches us that the young men of today are as heroic as their ancestors ever! dared be. A young gentleman by the name of Spink was with his best girl on a bridge spanning the Connecticut river. They were leaning against the railing when the latter broke and they were precipitated into the raging flood be low. Mr. Spink wanted to save the young lady, of course, but he wanted to find out how far it was to shore. With rare presence of mind he struck out alone and reached the shore and found he could make the distance, so he swam back after the girl. He couldn't find her. She had got tired of waiting for him to come back after her and had swum to the opposite shore and gone home, and she hasn't spoke to him since. One of the greatest wonders of nat ural history is the fact that a red cow gives white miik and yellow butter. There is a bird in Australia called the woofus. It takes its name from its peculiar habit of barking like a dog woof-woof. Did you ever hear anybody who eloped more than once? Neither did we. Lloyd-George wanted to be an actor. He might have achieved greatness and now look at him. Many a young guy who is expert at handling a park rowboat with his girl in it, is a poor navigator when he gets on the sea of matrimony. There isn't much in a name after all. We know one stationary engineer who has had nine different jobs in four months. Haven't heard anything from Ulti mate Consumer for some time. Maybe the poor bloke has passed away. PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR MENNONITE DISTRICT Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 15. Manitoba is prepared to enforce the teaching of English to every Mennonite child of the province during the coming ochcol term, it is officially announced. Thirteen new schools have been completed or will be shortly in the heart of Mennonite colonies where the greatest opposition to public schools was to be found. Despite talk of migration to Mexico and other foreign countries, no Mcnnon ites have as yet migrated from Mani toba this year. In i- majority of districts the Jljnnon ites hde become reconciled to the pub lie fcchools, it is said, and in certain lo calities are renting the old Mennonite schools for use as public schools.
