' order for its recital, I take up the tale at a' point wlt 're Dan becomes incoherent. I admit? V I was greatly interested myself when Minkie, J without waiting for Evangeline to do up her blouse, glissaded down the stair rail and rushed •the cage into the morning room. I had heard of mongooses from Tommy Willoughby, who lives in our road, as he had come across them when the Colonel commanded the Gal way Blazers at Alexandria, lie says they eat crocodiles' eggs and are therefore held in high regard by the Egyptians, and the Egyptians, judged by their treatment of cats, are evidently a sensible race. Yet there are no crocodiles' egg-i at Dale End —fresh ones, that is—so I pity this poor stranger if Jim Or Mole catches him dining in the henhouse. Dan, of course, tort; after Minkie with his mouth open and bin stump of a tail pointing north. I crept in noiselessly and watched proceedings from beneath a wide and d 'ep leather chair. I could see a thing like a big red rat behind some wooden bars which ran down one side of a soap box. The animal had a sharp muzzle, small pats with fairly useful claAvs and a tail that was almost the size of the re mainder of its body. "A mongoose can fight," I reasoned, "and its huge tail shows that it can turn quickly." Dan naturally took no stock of these essen tials. ITe was nearly beside himself with excitement, and Minkie had to grab hini with one hand while she held Captain Stanhope's let ter in the other. "Do be quiet,, Dan!" she cried, shaking him. "Tibbie, where are you ?" "Here," I meowed. "Then listen, the pair of you. Jack writes: "Dear Minkie- I send the mongoose. He is very tame, quite n lovnblo little cbap. You can let him run about the house at once if nil the doors are closed. After n <lriv or two he can po out into the garden safely, ns he will always come back to his box if you leave it open. lie is accustomed to my dogs, and there are terriers among them, so make Dan understand that the mongoose wants to play with him when ho stands up as if he were going to box with his fore paws. You may have more trouble with Tib, hut she will soon learn to treat him as one of the family. For that matter, Rikkl (that is his name) can keep either of them in order if he is not taken by surprise by reason of his friendliness with all my live stock, lie will eat most things they eat. When the frost goes and he can hunt in the garden, he will keep himself. Yours, "JACK. "So there! .Just try to behave decently when I introduce Kikki." It was all I could do to keep from smiling when I saw Minkie open the cage and take the mongoose out, gripping Dan tightly lest his feel ings should overcome him. Will you believe it? That queer looking beast seemed quite pleased to seo '*!, Dan! It jumped up and licked wis whiskers and tickled his ears with ji, its little haims, while all poor Dan could sav was "Gnar-r!" and roll eves wildly to see what it was doin S> Minki( ''* fingers being liko I V lit ,)r \ • • k' .i* >1 ?*<■»., U r nositv conquered him.

But it was 110 use. May I never have another night out if Dan and lukki were not having a friendly wrestle on the hearth rug in half a minute. Ihe mongoose had quick eyes. \\ hen it rolled over in the game it saw me. I must say it had some sense too. It seemed to know that I was not given to any dog foolery, and it squared itself for battle. Dan, thinking to show off, charged full tilt for my chair, so I deter mined to take a rise out of him. I began to pur, walked straight up to him, with my tail well aloft and the tip twiddling, and began to rub myself against bis ribs. ou never saw a dog so taken aback. I'm sure he thought I was crazy, and even Minkie said softly: "Well, I never! Is the ju-ju beginning to work already?" Odd, isn't it ? She attributed my little joke to that chunk of ivory in her pocket. Anyhow, the mongoose took no liberties with me. \\ hen all is said and done, Dan and 1 are in one camp and every sort of rat in the other, but I am surprised at. Dan. Now, parcels turn up so continuously ,tt Christmas time that 110 one else was aware of Rikki's arrival until he rat up and begged from Mr. Schwartz wnile our visitor was drinking his soup. The parrot was watching and made a horrid noise at the right moment, just as Schwartz looked down and saw a pair of fierce red eyes glaring at hi/A. 1 lie mongoose put on his best grin, which made matters worse. Schwartz- nearl\ overturned the dinner table. I would never havo credited six feet of man with being in such a funk. Everybody was glad he expressed hrs emotions in Merman —he himself more than the others when he calmed down. Minkie nearly came in for a scolding, hut the Guv nor, who is a real sport, was soon taken bv Rikki's antics and rather chaffed Schwartz about his alarm. "That is all very well, Grosvenor," said Schwartz, "but you have not lived where poisonous spiders, centipeds, scorpions and all sorts of snakes come prowling into the house. I have jumped for my life far too often to be ashamed of a momentary forgetfidness that I was in England. Moreover 1 was not aware that Millicent was forming a menagerie." "I hope to have a monkey soon," observed Minkie. "I'll take jolly good care you don't," said her father. "Monkeys are most mischievous brutes, and they disagree with everv other ani mal near them.
