stone, and at one time almost touched the
earth, so that men had but the space of a
few feet TO live in. Plying their condi-
ton, the divine hero, Ru, pushed the sky
up few feet. Some time afterward he
was offended by his son Mani, and flung
him into the air. When the boy came
down he threw the old man and sky SO
high that the blue could never get back to
its former place. The fathers head stuck
among the stars and he died. His bones,
Of vast proportions, tumbled down from
time to time, and were shivered into frag-

the bones of Ru are found all over the
island of Maugala.

Han. They then set out on their journey,
and at last came to Epping, leased a
house there, and kept an inn, each per.

station. They gained a good deal OF
money, were well respected, and lived TO.

wife died, when the discovery was made,

the place except constable, and was 70

had not been made. ."--CleCekdRd Leader.
