THE TINYMITES

(READ THE STORY, THEN COLOR THE PICTURE)

The Tinies all rushed out and they were glad when they heard Scouty say, “This man's a little hunter. He's as friendly as can be. “We’re welcome on this real strange land and I think that is simply grand. No harm will come to as. That’s what the hunter just told me.’’ “Os course not,” said the little man. “I’m glad to say that you all can do anything you wish to, Just so you con t spoil my fun. “I'm going to trap beasts all around, as quickly as they can be found. Then, when I get real hungry, I will shoot one with my gun.” “Why, you're so little,” Dotty said, **and beasts so big, I really dread to think, sir, what will happen, if a lion chases you. “I guess that you would make one bite. Why, I’d be simply filled with fright. If any animal rushed out. I don't know what I’d do.”

AS the race of great auks dwindled down to a few hundred birds, natural history museums over the world realized that it was only a matter of time until the bird became a relic of the past, and they offered enormous prices for specimens. This only speeded up the work of extinction, and on June 3, 1844, the last living auk met its death. * * * NEXT —What are “precious” metals?

The hunter smiled and then he said: “You think the beasts are large. Instead, they’re tiny little fellows. You could hold them in your lap. “Now, follow me! We’ll have a lark and capture one before it’s dark. In Just about a minute I will make a little trap.” “Oh, I will help you,” Duncy cried, as he rushed to the hunter’s side. “I'm pretty good at things like that, as you will soon find out. “If we should make a dandy haul and in our trap some beast should vrawl, ’twill be good-by for him, because he never win get out.” A real nice trap was made with ease. The bunch then hid behind some trees. “Here comes a tiny elephant,” cried Goldy, in delight. “It sees the peanuts used as bait. How thrilling! I can hardly wait. It’s heading for the cage now. I sure hope it works all right.”

THE TARZAN TWINS

The springing lion missed the boys, but by a margin so narrow that a claw touched the heel of Dick’s shoe. With an agility bom of desperation they climbed high above the angry beast of prey. “Why didn’t you look him in the eye and make him turn tail?" Dick demanded.

“I was going to, but he wouldn’t stand still,” Doc replied; “why didn’t you bring an umbrella to frighten him?” Beneath them now, Numa the lion, stood glaring up with blazing yellow-green eyes, exposing yellow fangs, and keeping fateful vigil over his intended victims.

Fortunately for the boys, Nature had not endowed Numa with the ability to climb. But perhaps a quick death was preferable to this long wait which must surely end in death. To remain In the tree would be to starve, or to fall asleep and topple down. All paths led to doom!

But Numa was not of a mind to prolong this game of human versus animal wits. Numa knew a trick which should bring it to swift conclusion. He strode majestically baek along the trail; but around the first turn he halted, wheeled about, and lay down out of sight.
