ULTRAVIOLET RAYS AID APE ROMANCE
(By Charles Edward Richards)
YRTLE and Freddie were as
M pretty al darrod verd
as anyone could
was
want.
"F
He
wasg and athletic. She --
lithe and Winsome. But
there was something worrying the keeper of the Zoological Gar- dens.
For, while Myrtle and Freddie- attracted more attention than any other occupants of the. apartment, belonging to the apes and the monkeys, the keeper's sharp eye had discovered that some strange difficulty was dis- turbing the domestic happiness of the otherwise perfect pain. Freddie was not showing the de- votion and affection to Myrtle that she felt she should receive from her strong and hale companion. As the weeks wore on, it was hoped that a natural adjustment would be all that was necessary for a remedy. Myrtle, however, dejected daily as all attempts to win the affection of her panion brought no response.
COM-
Keen observers of the health and happiness of young In Off- keys knew that Myrtle was pining for offspring. Freddie remained indifferent to all solicitations. It was his great pleasure to con- tinue to delight the spectators with his athletic prowess. At last the keeper consulted a cer- tain biologist who was an expert in the diagnosis of temperaments 2s affected by hormones. Toget- her they formed a conspiracy.
An ultraviolet light was. brought into the apartment where Myrtle and Freddie Te- sided. With incredible delight Freddie basked in the beams of this life-giving lamp in accordan- ce with the exposure determined by science. Soon a change took place. Freddie's cold indiffer- ence gave way to remarkable af- fection for his young and attrac- tive bride.
Now Myrtle has had both twins and triplets, and is a happy and loving wife.
MISTS IN THE VALLEY
HE gold of eventide lay all
THE
across the Land-
...
The ceaseless wash of the sea on
the amber strand
Was like a ghostly dirge for all
the mighty dead:
As a vast army, strange cloud shapes gathered overhead,
And eerie sounds by alien winds
were hurled
Along the shore. A ship, with
stitch of canvas furled, Dropped anchor down below the
dreaming hill:
The sky grew dark and all was
strangely still
The night wind moaned, a fog
crept in from far,
In a smother of foam great seas
swept o'er the bar
And across the hill where wild
winds rally,
The whirling mists filled all the
valley,
As the dark fell crag and dell: And then-frail, quiet, cares-
sing———
Bringing to the tired earth
blessing,
A thin, light ain, like silver
spears,
Fell softly as maiden's tear, And on wings of the wind there
came to me,
From the long vistas of eternity, The benediction of the tideless
sea
Walter D. White,
