These acres were mowed by haad by Mr. Brown and his neighbors. In of Rhodes Valley was a co-operative community, | By hall past five the men were swing ing their scythes through 'the dewy grass, Ed.

His jests and hearty laughter | kept the men in spirits through many u Jong day. Sam was a favorite with men, but in the presence of women he was tonguetied. Millie, and every one else, knew that He adored her, but he never seemed to get beyond an embarrassed greeting. At ten o'clock Miliie Farried a. pan of gingerbread and a jug of switchel to 'the movers resting in the shade. Sam Gay jumped up and went to meet her, taking the heavy jug from her hand, Ed.

Meanwhile the men in the field had put Ed Martin into the big hayrack and sent him to the house with Sam Gay. Sam drove the rack carefully to the door. On a mattress of hay lay the big man very pile and moaning at intervals. : 3 When Ed had been made comfortable on. the parlor sofa, Millie took Sam "Oh, did they find the snake ?" she asked. "No, they didn*,". he replied with a puzzled expression, "bul no one be- eves for a minute that there are any ! rattlers around here. Yet' we are! sort of worried about. Ed.

There is & small crab found upon the English coast that is so afraid of his enemies that he has found oui, or! has perhaps been taught, a clever way to hide himself. The writer once :saw one of thes crabs which was kept as a pet; "he | was lucky enough to. visit him when he was in the very act of making his wig. The crab first tore off a piece of green, ribbon-like seaweed with hie pincers, and put one end in his mouth. This he sucked and nibbled and moistened with some kind of glue that hardens under water, and then he pressed the sticky end upon his back, By and by his broad back was cov- ered with a regular green and waving | wig so that as he crawled about he looked like a bunch of seaweed in gentle motion.
