Jimmy has learned by experience. There is no teacher like experience. So when Jimmy discovers that Mrs. Jimmy has made up her mind to a certain thing he doesn't argue. He knows that that would be just a waste of breath. So it came about that when Mrs. Jimmy told Jimmy she had moved from their old home where they had spent the Winter together, sharing it with several of their grown children, up to this new home under Farmer Brown's henhouse, Jimmy didn't try to get her to go back to the old home. It was a perfectly good home, was that oid one. Jimmy was satisfled with it. But if Mrs. Jimmy had made up her mind to leave it, that was all there was to it. “Well,” said Jimmy, when he had recovered a bit from his surprise at discovering Mrs. Jimmy at the en- trance to that hole under the hen- house, “I guess that perhaps you are ht, my dear, and we do need a change. Suppose you step aside so that I €0 in and see what our new home looks like."” “It {sn'c our home—at least it isn't just now. It is my new home,” said Mrs. Jimmy D-d-d-do_you m-m-m-mean that T am not to live here?” stuttered Jim my in shocked surprise. “Not at present, anyway,” declared Mrs. Jimmy. “This is my home, and you are to keep out of it and away from jt. I don't want you around The old home will do nicely for vou if you feel that you must have a home So trot along now and don’t bother me any longer.” Mrs. Jimmy turned and disappeared under the henhouse. Jimmy stared rather foolishly at the hole where she had disappeared. It was a shock to discover that he was not to share that new home, that he wasn’t wanted around. Yet, had he stopped to really think about it, it wouldn't have been such a shock, for he had had that experience before. It wasn't the first time he had found that his room was desired more than his company. But the whole thing was so unexpected that he didn’t stop to thfnk. Besides, he did want to see what it was like under that henhouse. So Jimmy hung around. He didn't D-D-D-DO YOU NOT _TO LIV TERED JIMMY SURPRI IN quite dare venture inside, but he hoped Mrs. Jimmy would have a change of mind and invite him in But Mrs. Jimmy didn't and at last Jimmy slowly ambled away. He was first grieved, and then he was angry. He would show Mrs. Jimmy that it didn’t matter to him in the least if she didn’t want him about. He would £0 off and have a good time and for- get all about her. You see, Jimmy was very like some folks you and I know. But by the time Jimmy got back to his old home the next morning he was his usual happy self. By that time he had remembered. He had remem Anew with bandkerchief fla contrasting colors. WASHINGTON, D.

Did you ever hear the story of the Golden Man? It is the story that the old Con- quistadores heard at Panama long ugo, and it was responsible—more than anything else—for the ventures of Pizarro and others into Peru Indians near the Isthmus told of a certain man of pure gold that lived in the Andes. So persistent did this ru- mor grow in the wild days of old that expeditions were fitted out to search for him. “El Dorado” the golden—was the of the Conquistadores. 21 Dorado’—the golden—became their goal.

But that was before I had seen Cuzco. Whether Cuzco is more inter. esting than any of the above men tioned it is difficult to say. But I am sure that Cuzco deserves most hon. orable mention. I am riding back along the way I came—down through the valley of the staircase farms, stone houses, mud fences with cactus tops, and little flelds where grim-faced Indians are plowing the unwilling land with bent sticks as did their forefathers cen turies before them. Now I pass the two lakes, Vilcamayu, and the Urcos. It was in the story goes, that thd Incas threw the great gold chain of the young Prince Huascar when the Spanish captured Cuzco.
