Presently the two voung Bears stopped running. They stood still and listened. They tested the wind Wwith their noses. “She isn't chasing us.” sald Boxer at last. I guess we needn’t run any more.” ' Woof Woof stood up and looked back the way they had come with such a funny look on her face. It ‘was a hurt look, and at the same time a puzzled look. It was quite clear that Woof Woof didn't understand matters at all. “I think Mother Bear has some- thing the matter with her. I do s0.” said she. “I think she is crazy.

By PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. HAMLYN VARIATIONS—Hambling, Hamel- ing, Ameling, Hamel, Hammel, RACIAL ORIGIN—OId Teutonic. SOURCE—A given name. Here is a third group of family names tracing back to the ancient Teutonic given name of “Amal” or “Amala,” all of which seem to bear signs of having come’down to us through other sources than Norman- French. They deserve specidl discus- sion also as being in all likelihood much older, as family names, than others derived from “Amal While family names did not come into common use, and a use similar to that of modern times, until about the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries, they were not unknown to the northern Teutonic races at a quite early period; that is, to the Franks, the Anglo-S8axons, the Danes and the Norsemen. Among these peoples there existed clan names; but the names, like the clans, were rather loosely drawn. The clans did not, as in the case of the Gaels, constitute the backbone of the entire social and economic system. These clan or family names were formed by the addition of the ending “ing,” with certain variations, gener- ally’to a given name (in which case that given name was Wwidespread in all its variations through the rela- tionship group). Thus individuals of & community, more or less closely related, in “which such names as Ethelred would be common, would bear such a surname as “Etheling” in addition to their proper names, and so such “Amal” and “Amel” gave “Amalings,” or. as it is traced among the Franks of the fifth century, “Amalungi™ w ' !
