'rhe bright bird learns to perform
simple tricks as a puppy of kitten ,
and if his education has been properly -
erly conducted , enjoys hi. pretty
"stunt" and takes as much pride in
it 1\8 does his human audience. Of
course , some birds , like some people -
. ple , are slower to master an idea
tl an others , but with patience and
kmdness any feathered pet will acquire -
quire a few tricks at least , and if
r there arc severa ! bird members of
the household quite a little circus

"So YOll t'illk you be first one , eh ?

But it wria not because of what
the 0111 111 un said ; it was because ho
saw Amullda walking to church with
the "turpenCine 111un" and could not
.make Amunda see him that 111nde
: Picrre tuke a bottle or whisky clown
into the bend or the hayou and
got drunk. Yes , and stny drunk ,
Hlceping most of the time till the
hottle was empty.
. It was the suck of oars in their
locks thut woke him. 'l'hen voices
tmne : , and he listened :
"Dey say I'ierre ain't going win
race dis year. "
"Pourquoi ? "
"Dey say 'turpentine man' going
1un his fust bout ; dey say Amanda
going sail wit' him. "
"ila I"
The suck of the oars died away.
! pierre plunged into the bayou and
swam until Bober. "Pardieu , dere's
more dan one girl in de worIa 1"
Alors quoi ? As soon af ! he was
'sober he went down to the stor
'an bought two yards of very narrow -
row , very pink ribbon , and he must
have wanted it for a fishing ] ine , because -
cause as he strode away i-rom t.he
store he was saying under his
breath : " 11 y ales autres poissons
pans Ia mer , toujours. All , oui 1
toujours. "
And so thinking of the other
fishes ahays in the sea , Pierre made
his way through the woods to old
man Aloysius' front gate. TIe surprised -
prised .Cecilia on the front steps ,
and she could not get 11P , because
she had no ahoes on. Pierre sat
down beside her and they spoke of
the wen.ther which had been very
dry Io.tely-fortunately for Pierre ,
though he did not mention that
pho.se of it ; they spoke also of mam-
Illa's garden amI papa's crop ,
Cecelia with such dignity as one
.
Why Should He N'ot Hold Her Hand1
may when one's little eietor is gig.
gling within doors because one hae
heen caught without her shoes ; and
Pierre with such intelligence us OD (
JIIUY when one is talking of ODE
thing and thinking of another. Ana
presently Pierre's thoughts came tc
the front with :
HI heen t'ink. . me , das maybE
you'll sail in 'Lis des Enux' wi
; I\e \ on Fourth or July. Das makE
me proud , yes. "
Cecelill wus swept into silence b )
the rushing sweetness of this sur.
prise. She forgot the little sisto !
giggling within. forgot that she luuJ
on no shocs. 'rhere was only tIu
trembling strong fingers pressing (
tiny'pucket. into her huml , only till
pleading ol that pleasant-vel' '
pleasant "oice :
"Das ; my color , pink. You gain !
wear it ? "

'Yes , murmured , wea ]

I ills 11110 ] youlez-\'O 1s ? Wus it not
Ihl ! Fourth of July with a boat race
tin the LilY ? 'J1h regatta was to bo ,
I'un in three classes. Schooners , I
, ; lo'ops and cat-bouts. Some there
wl'e ) hi thul sweltering crowd who 'I '
followed the flight of the schooners ,
bllt upon whur ! nll beach and bank
every "Cajun's eye was npon the cat-
bout mec. . and every ROU of 'Cajan's i
tIIolle'y was upon one of the two
1'IlCer8. 'J.1O } "turpentine man's" 1
cat , the Kitten , that flew the blue
pCJ1IlIllIt , nn Pierre's Lis des Eaux ,
that flQw the pink. They were
well lllutched Ipoats , nncI beauties ,
'glcllming white with their brond
, belts or brilliant blue or pink ; each
with It big new snil , each with a :
lovely girl in the bows flying the
colors she favored. Each with a
sinewy young fellow Ilt the tiller determined -
termined to win. Bow and bow
'Ule ' two boats forged ahead , leaving
1111 other mcers in their rear , and
bow and how they crossed the line
at t.he judgcs' stand. Hearty cluer- :
iug stnrted them on their second
coursc , and after the cheer one single -
gle "oice like a dropping shot :
"Watch out , watch out he don't get
your wind. "
For whom was thnt warning
meant ? What was it worth ? Perhaps -
haps one of the young sailors knew.
'rense , with ever an eye to the girl in
his bows , the "turpentine man"
gnve his boat every advantage his
skill could compass ; tense , with
every eye to the windward , Pierre
went on nn erratic tack , caught the
Kitten's willd and crossed the line
a secoDll ahead. Then the shouting -
: ing of the "Cajans drowned all other
: shouting , then Mme. Paul's baby
cflught the sunstroke that CRme near
lending its little life , then old , man
Zeno fell over into the water , then
.
; old man Pierre sat down on .the
( sand with a bottle , feeling life too
! good to stay sober. Many a muttered -
tered French oath , many a broken-
.English exccrntion , and above their
'united growls a running chuckle of
'hoarse laughter. It was the old man
Iwho had shouted the warning , and
( as he laughed he shook a crooked
, old finger at a smear on he far
\
laway sky-IIDe.
"Das too far off , " objccted a
'mate.
I ' 'You watch out , " was the only
, reply. And watch out they did. Already -
ready the Lily under her reef
,
'was ' fopting it after tbe the Kitten ,
.and already , but too late , .the "tur-
, pentine mun" had seen the white
! puff now beginning to turn hlack.
[ t was too late to shorten sail now
if he mcant to leave himself a chance
'to win. .And win ho must , for winning -
ning meant Amanda if he could
teach the strand before the squall
reached him. He resolved to gamble -
ble it-as an American will-and
gave his boat all the sail she want-
ed.
On they came , the Kitten and
tile Lily , Ilnd the squall , half a mile ,
quarter , eight ; while the sky darkened -
ened and the' waters shiVered and
fhe very babies fell silent , the othcr
racers fled to harbor or reefed close.
' 'Ho make it " said in
, a man , a
hoarse whi per.
"You watch out , " returned the
prophet. , unmoved. As he spoke ,
the Lily , like one struck by II
strong hand , layover. But there
WIlS a. sure , grip upon her tiller and
no flutters of hope or fear shookthe
hand that held illo halyards. She
! righted gallantly under her reef ,
and with the foam curling along her
rail , fied away before the rising
wind. And then the watchers had
eyes for the Kitten , and as they
turned their eyes upon her the
,
squall struck her. 'l'hey SIlW her
leap at the blow , saw her shnke off
her master's grip as 11 wet dog shakes
r of [ water , saw the big Bail go up
. against the mast with blow that
woke the echo/ saw her for a second
IlOge down and then blue pennUlt !
nncI gallnnt sailor. and beautiful
JDlliden with the 10,000 pine trees
she stood for were awash in the
shivering water. Boats shot out ,
men shouted , children lifted up
their voices and wept-and the Lily
dipped her pennant to the judges
l' nUll ran for harbor.
Cecilia , looking back at the rescuers -
cuers and their rescued , watched
merrily.
"Dey most made some more fiah , "
she laughed , and Pierre laughed also
-with tenderness.
"You brng ! me good luck , " he
- said , gallantly. He had fairly forgotten -
gotten that Cecilia was herself "the
other 11ah. "
