Having had & race with Cocky the Road Runiner and so had & fairly good look at him, Farmer Brown's Boy was eager to know him better. So early the following morning he was back at the place where he had seen Cocky. To his great disappointment Cocky did not come out for another race. “Well, if he won't come out to see me, 1 will have to go look for him” said Farmer Brown's Boy. "I suspect that he has & nest somewhere near here and T would give much to find it.” So Farmer Brown's Boy began to wander about among the clumps of chollas and thorny shiubs, peering into them and under them in the hope of finding & nest. He moved slowly, so as not to frighten any birds who might be near. For a long time he saw nothing save occasionally a startled Lizard who dashed away. He was just about ready to give un when under a cactus he spled something which was not part of the plant, yet which he could not at first make out at all. Now Farmer Brown's Boy was far too wise to walk directly toward that cactus, for he knew that that would be the be hiding there. So he began to slowly walk in a circle around the cactus, all the time drawing nearcr tnd nearer o it. At last he was near enough to see standing perfectly still intently watch- ing him, but such & bird! It had two tails, one at each end, and while one tall pointed almost stralght up and was held stiffly, the other hung limply Now, of course, Farmer Brown's Boy knew that there couldn't, there simply couldn’t be & bird with a tall at each end. and he was greatly puzzled. He could not vet see clearly, so he kept on slowly circling around that cactus, all the time drawing nearer. This time around brought him near enough see clearly and what he saw surprised him almost as much as what he had thought he had seen. It was Cocky the Road Runner himself, and he did one of them had no feathers and wasn't a part of Cocky. although it soon would be. It was the long slim tall of a DAILY DIET RECIPE SOUR CREAM COOKIES, Butter, one-fourth cup. Sugar, one and one-half cups Eggs, two. Sour cream, one cup. Baking soda, one t-aspoonful.

The rest of the Lizard he had swallowed or at least partly, swallowed, but the long tall still hung from his bill. There wasn't yet room for that. It was such a funny sight that Farmer Brown's Boy laughed right out. At the | sound Cocky suddenly came to life. His own long tail lowered and he darted out from under that cactus and across to another clump like & brown streak, the tail of the Lizard dragging on the ground. _ One more glimpse of him | Farmer Brown's Boy got as he darted to another cholla clump and then dis- | appeared. | ““Wait until T tell Cousin Tom that I | have seen a bird with two tafls” chuckled Farmer Brown's Boy. “He will | think the heat has affected my eyes. | And he really did have two tails.

Colorful Desserts. To add a touch of color to desserts or salads when pineapple is used, it is well to know that pineapple takes col- oring successfully.

When fruit juice runs out in the oven or on the stove, if salt is thrown on it there will be no odor if allowed to burn to a crisp. 1t can then be easily removed.
