LOVESPOONS

The porulanty of hand-carved spoons led to the art of niahiiig lovcspooiis. the tokens presented by a boy to his girl friend luring courtship. The oldest samples which have survived frotu the early lllth century, are nothing but cop- ies of metal spoons. but with the passing 01 time more care uas given to decoration. and in Ilie course of time the lovcspooii liiut only examplified the skill of its maker but symbolised the foi-vi-ur of his passion." The most elabor- ate ornamentation became fashion- able. and the exhibits seen in some museums include some very re- markable specimens uith t1'nl'.s and chains and designs of hearts. on-

It to largely by his wit: ihaii Roddy has managed to live so long. By his wits and hi! clever use of them he has managed to outsmnrti the hunter: with their dreadful

traps. He has been smart enough to know that the more he know: about hi: neighbor. and their ways. the easier it is for him to outwit them. So Reddy is always using his eyes and trying; to understand all that he sees.

When a fully grown young Grouse, son of Thunderer and Mrs, Grouse. was shot and the wing I0 hurt that he could not fly. Reddy was not around to see it happen. He knew nothing about it. So when he chanced over in ii loncsome part of the Green Forest and stir- prised the young Grouse there and the latter did not fly, but hopped up in a hemlock tree with low- growing branches. Reddy guessed rllzht away what had happened.

"That. fellow can't fly." thought he. ”II he could he wouldn't be going up in that tree that way."

Now Reddy. unlike his cousin Gray Fox. is not much of a climb- or. He can climb a little way up in I tree if the branches are low enough and close enough together. He could climb up in this one part way. He did just that. Of course as Raddy Pllmbvd the young Grouse climbed higher- He had not Iupposed that Roddy could climb It all. So now he was a badly frightened .Vl!lll'IK bird. How he did innit to lake in those stout wings

rumbly. grumbly growl- Reddy didn't wait. He didn't bother to climb down. He jumped down, for he wasn't very high in that tree. ln a moment he had disappeared.

The young Grouse blinked a little stupidly. What could have made that Fox leave in such a hurry? He was puzzled. Then he too heard that low rumbly, grumbly growl and a moment later Buster Bear, came shuffling into sight. He was growling to himself because he was feeling not of sorts. The young Grouse nearly lost his balance so great was his astonishment. It was the first time he had ever seen Buster hear.

STRANGE BUT TRUE t

The killer-uhalo may be easily, recognized by its prominent back-l fin. is a very powerful little creature whose jaws: hold a set of dangerous teeth. it is the terror of the big whales: when it appears they flee for their lives, and one of lll('SP little gladiators alone is enough to put the giants of the x08 to flight. and even to drive them ashore before him The hig whales have good reason to flee from iheir enemy for, as he piirsiics them he attacks them from the side tearing great pieces of hluhhcr away. In pain and despair the big whnlcs lash the water and hrcrik away with lightning speed The little monsters follow close on their tails, taking their pounds of flnsht until their victims. cxhaiistcrl by loss of blood and cxcrlion giro upt the ghost, Not only the uhaln, but the seal as iicll, is the vii-liiii of
