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
