' Why should I bother to repair them, or pay to have them fixed when I know YOU'LL have to have them fixed before you can use them? The breakage is a risk you run when you lend them to vine. You might have broken them yourself, so', what's the difference. And as for the rust, that's on 'em because I left them out in the rain instead of either taking them in the house or returning them to you when I finished using them.

WHY?- Are Peacock Feathers Consid ) ered Unlucky? Copyright. 1920. By tha Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) i Probably on account of the "eyes" which appear-in the tail of the peacock, the feathers of this bird have been ' considered unlucky ever since the days of the early Egyptians who main tained that the markings of the tail feathers were symbolic of the evil eye and brought ill fortune to any house in which they were displayed. The mythological story of the birth of the peacock bears out this superstition. According to this legend, Argus was the min ister of Osiris, king of Egypt, who was left to protect Isis, the queen, when the monarch start ed on one of his military expe ditions. Argus, who was reput ed to have a, hundred eyes, soon plotted against the queen regent, imprisoned her and' proclaimed himself king. Because of this insurrection Mercury was sent against him with a large army, took him captive and cut off his head, but Juno maintained that the hundred eyes should not be lost to the world, so she set them in the tail of the fowl known as the "peacock," whence they continue to spy upon the world. Mohammedan folk-lore ac-. counts for the raucous voice and unsightly feat of the peacock with a story to the effect that it was this bird which opened the gates of Paradise to Satan nid that, as a punishment, the fowl was sentenced to lose its 'leautiful voice and dainty feet, 'hough it was permitted to re (ain its tail. The legends of the majority of peoples, however, fMid-v the. oeacock with powers of evil, thus ac counting for the belief which is prevalent in many localities to day that the feathers are un lucky.

Then when he came in with all his bundles, and took the three gold en sovereigns out of his pocket, to show to the Mother, the Twins couldn't keep still another minute. "It's for youl To pay the rent!" thev cried. The Father and Mother looked at each other. "Now, what are they at all," said Mrs. McQueen, "but the best children in the width of the world? Wasn't I after telling you that we'd make it out 1 somehow? And to think of her being a thoroughbred like that and we never knowing it at all." She meant the pifs! 1 But Mr. McQueen never gave a word. He just gave Larry and Eileen a great hug. Then Mr. McQueen went over all the errands with his wife, and, last of all, he brought out the shawl. "There, old woman," he said, "is a fairing for you!" "The Saints be praised for this day!" cried Mrs. McQueen.
