The wild bird ran forward with a swift, steady gait very unlike the awkward strides of his tame cousins, and lowered his head and spread his ruff. Then be stood up straight and seratched sticks and grass into the air with a sturdy leg and crowed. The traitor kicked furiously at bis tether, but It beld, and tbe wild cock advanced to the fenre.

I was surprised, fur few people live along a trail used mostly by bamlits and head hunter. Suddenly from the slope of n farther bill the call rang out again, uml then the whole woodechoed with tbe sounds of tbe farmyard. "What town Is this?" I asked tbe boys, although we were at least a days journey from any settlement Which I knew. It Is no town, senor, snld Justin. "It Is the manuk del monte the wild chicken which you hear." After saddles were off and the hones' backs were washed, the animals rolled and grazed luxuriously by tbe swift, clear stream, and Trauquid, prince of servants, dexterously uurolled the wi-r- I ' 1 - lnn-i-e- . i '!

"I come," I replied, with equal grav- ity, and rolled over twice and came up on my knees, Japanese fashion, beside my lowly table. Just as I was going to. plunge my fingers into the rice a cock crowed loud and clear among ihe trees close at hand. A great ferocity of meat hunger swept over me. Justin!" I Give me the We will Luxe manuk commanded. del monte for breakfast." Tbe coek crowed often wl:i!o 1 stole through the undergrowth, u softly as the ferns and bristly creeper xx ould let me. As I drew near the crowing ceased, and 1 was peering about Die brush and shrub for a sight of the cn k when whir! From the lower branches of a tree, fifty feet above my head, a splendid bird shot out with a boom like a partridge and sailed away between the tranks, a dazzling vision of while am green and gold. I was too startled to shoot, for 1 had never before seen chicken that r.xistod like eagles and flew like pheasants nnd .were as brilliant ns humming bird. In a moment I hard hi strong wings beating on the other side of the valley, and I went hack and ate my rice homn-linoi- quietly. That incident began my acquaintance with the wild chickens, and they soon grew to be a very dear part of Die for- est life, bringing me an mid mixture of pleasant memory and homesickness aa listened to them. We heard them always when we homes made and left our along tbe trail. The cocks proved to be just as exacting husbands as their domesticated cousins, crowing their families home and abroad with fussy X one-nig- punctuality. If a gay young cockerel or n giddy pul- let lingered too long afield, the lord of the flock grew noisy with anxiety as the sunset faded. With tbe dawn he woke, brisk and Important, anil woe betide the sleepyhead of the family. There was no Rouse up. sweet slugabed" for him, bnt an ear splitting call, and we often rhuckled at thought of the sheepish haste of the laggard when that sound penetrated to his sleepy brain. A tropica! forest Is a thing of awe and mystery, with its eternal diin twilight and tangled creepers and Innumerable dark vistns which bide inhabi- tants one seldom hears anil never see. Most of the creatures seem to feel the silent Immensity nnd vagueness ns a man does anil seek safety in miohtrus-ivenes- s.

He never deigned to take any further part l.i- - sen-enei- e n dlsi-ovi-rc- c d in the pursuit. When it to stalking a deer or running down a pig he was all eagerness uml skill, nnd would lead me for hours without a thought of rest, hut chickens were beneath him. Occasionally, however, as we rode along, a crow would caw somewhere above us. Then Justin was full of excitement. Look, senor!" he would shout, pointing up to the empty sky. I have found him. There! There!" In spite Af Justin's jesting my desire to see s wild coek face to fuce only increased with repeated failure. I never tried to shoot one after that first experience. I would as soon have thought of shooting at a monkey. But I wanted to have one for my own. to look at, and draw picture of and show to my poor friends who lived down In the plains through the hot season and complained of prickly best. I even dreamed of presenting one to my friend, the captain, and letting him create a new and lusty race of fowls, a breed which would meet tbe bawk in bia own element aiul laugh at woven wire fences. At last, up In a little mountain Tillage, my opportunity came. Tranqnld announced, with the respectful elation he sometimes permitted lilmself, that a man had a wild rooster. Would the senor like to come to see It? The senor was willing, so we went down the narrow grass-growstreet together, stepping carefully over the babies and pig that were basking in the sun. In the yard pf a little tnhledown shack we found a rusty brown bird tied to a post by a lilt of twine about hi leg. Tlie old uinn, bis owner, scattered a few kernel of corn, and the poor dingy thing pocked at them In n hn if hearted way. A hen came bustling up and lie perked peevishly at her once or twice, nml then hopped back to bis post and stood there, dull and round shouldered, like a sulky lmy who had decided Dint the torn was not of much iuiiHrtaiiee,f any way, and had put hi hands ia his pockets. I was slow to believe that this could be n brother of tlie swift, bright- bird which hail boomed out of a tree top that first morning, lint I presently discovered Dint It was. Tlie long, slender body, tlie powerful wings, the sharp, heavy hill, were Die product of generations of wild life. And under the dust and rustiness of the feathers there were still traces of tlie green and gold of tbe forest. The changes were due only to a changed mode of life. The man says," explained Trnnquid. that he has had this rooster for a long time, and it is dirty. lie .says he will catch a clean one for tlie senor. If he pleases." Of course the senor plensed, and one bright morning we set out. The old man, our guide, marched In front, most Importantly, for it Is not every day that one bus a chance to show a senor what a clever man one It at catching wild chickens, and the old man knew that his grandchildren would tell their children about tbls expedition. Under his arm he curried a red fighting cock. It struck me as a bit odd to carry such an animal on a hunting trip. One feels no surprise In the Philippines in meeting people with roosters under tbelr arms: it Is quite the usul thing. Trsnquld followed the old man, r'speetfully hopeful. Then came Jns-tismiling, and I brought up the renr. a mile or so from the village the wall of the forest rose, dark and Impenetrable. Bnt at one point a stream came down from Die hills, and there the field extended Into the wnml for n little way, making a sort of room, cool nml shadowy, and carpeted with short, thick turf. Here Die old man halted nnd waited till we nil stood about him. Then he drew from Die pocket of his blouse a bundle of twine, wound on four pointed sticks. Justin stopped smiling.

Of the (Mmo stars or more that are visible to the naked- eye, there are between fifty mid 100 which show conspicuous variations of brightness; and if the telescopic stars are included, the number of known variables' Is at least 13,000. Tbe stars Deneltola and Castor," for example, have faded by more than while Beta, Delta" and Kpsilon Cauls Majoris" are steadily brightening. There are other stars of a class known as temporary," which suddenly liluxe out for a few days or weeks and then gradually fade away In a year or two. Several explanations of these curious variations of stellar light are given by the Irofessor distinguished astronomer, Charles A.
