ho said: "Wh-why. Aunt Cynth, ain't
you going to meet the train and see

Soft und quick came her answer:
"No, dear, not today."
"But Aunt Cynth, they ain't goln' to

as sho gathered the little splc and

"Yes, Teddle boy, that's Just why

Now that Teddle was sure he felt
that he ought to say something to
help make auntie happier, so he said

little hand: "Never mind, auntie;
I'vo got a secret and mnybe tonight

And auntie promised to stny In the

people, the train pulling In tilled with

The hot tears trickled slowly down

Toddle's happy little face seemed to

a comfort he had been all the weary

FLAMINGO LONG A MYSTERY
To American Naturallnt Belonas Honor
of Learning Habits of Really
Remarkable Bird.
Until comparatively few years ago
j the habits of the flamingo, without
I doubt the most remarkable of all llv
! lng birds. Were a tantalizing mystery
i to naturalists. In 1001 the first photo
graphs of nesting flamingoes were
, secured by Dr. Frank M. Chapman of
the scientific staff of the American
I museum. The group was constructed
from photograph1? and notes mnflo
during his Investigations, and from
specimens secured by him. Flamingoes
occur In the wanner parts of both
hemispheres. The Amorlcnn flamingo
the most brightly colored of the
genus ranges from tne isanamas ami
southern Florida to Brazil and the
Onlapagos.
For nests flamingoes erect curious
mounds of mud. from 8 to l.'l Inches
high, and measuring about 22 Inches
In diameter at the base and 14 Inches
across the top. A depression, about
one Inch deep. In the top of the nest,

young are hatched they are covered

his wits' end to please. Yet not to
please Caro was to be himself miser
able. For David Hlalr, Junior law
partner and trusted friend of the girl's
departed father, had loved Caro with a
deep, unselfish love, from the trium
phant epoch of her first long dress and
"dnni-up" hair.
She, unconscious perhaps of this
love, bad led her devoted slave a merry
dance from the time of his Instituted
gunrdlnnshlp. David was given little
anxiety concerning the various admir
ers who flocked fn her train. Caro
herself dismissed each promptly In
turn. Now, It seemed her overwhelm
ing desire was for some pet upon which
to lavish her affection.
"A dog," Caro told her guardian. "Is
a faithful creature, responding un
questionably to one's moods."
"Hut why." David asked patiently,
"must It necessarily Ive n white dog,
nnd very small?"
"White, because 1 shall have to keep
It bathed and en red for," Caro an
swered; "small, so Hint 1 may hold It
In my lap."
The guardian sighed. Cnro's expla
nations were ns unsatisfying ns the
smile which accompanied them was
charming.
"Rotter wish for a dog of that de
scription," he suggested. "For you to
wish Is to have Is It not, Caroline?"
There was a Saddened note In the
guardlaji's voice.

eyes.

Caro stopped the car. but the little
animal continued to bark, until at
length it paused breathlessly, to listen
to her caressing voice.
"Come." coaxeil the girl ; "you dear
little thing " And as she sprnng down
Into the road the dog's feathery tall

Before her astonished gnze he arose
presently, waving his two fore-paws In

around her,
"You funny thing," she exclaimed.
"You little trick dog!" Before she
could forbid the little white creature
had leaped Into the car, grinning at
her In dog fashion from the front

HUNS GIVE UP WORKS OF ART
World-Famous Palntlnjjs Stolen From
Belgium Returned as Stipulation
'of Peace Treaty.
Ry the terms of the peace treaty !
Belgium nnd Ghent will respectively
recover priceless works of art, one of
which was supposed to have been de
stroyed after the (tormans entered
Louvnln, while the other has long been
Incomplete because two Important
parts of It were In the ICnlfr Frlediich
museum, Herlln. The Louvaln paint
ing Is the -work of DIoiick Routs, a
"Last Supp'T," which has. been de
scribed as "certainly one of the llnest I
examples of Flemish fifteenth century !
nrt" and was painted lor the collegiate
church of St. Pierre. The painting had
come down the centuries ns the chief
ndornment of the church, and disap
peared after the Oerman occupation.
It was believed to have been destroyed,
but Is now known to have been re
moved and preserved by the lnvadr.
and Its return Is one of the stipulations
of the peace treaty. The other famous
painting, "The Adoration of the Lamb,"
has been called "the first and greatest
mnsterplece of fifteenth century paint
ing produced In Flanders." It was
begun by Hubert van Kyck. but continued-nnd
finished by Jnn van Kyck.
Time had separated the parts of the
painting and -at present the central
panel remains lu the chapel of St.
Ravon in tJhent, another part Is In
Rrussels, ,.ad yet another in Berlin.
Rrussels will probably return her part
of thp composition, and Germany Is to
give back the portions that have been
In her possession, so that the painting
as n whole will once more be assem
bled In the chapel for which it was
painted.
