g l cannot deny that was entirely to blame for the calamity which over- took Ulysse and if call attention to the high social and literary standing of the gentleman whom l employed as an accomplice ill the affair, it Is not at all with a hope of lessening my own responsibility.
 It is certain that I furnished the un- fortunate creature the cause for his desperation. ought also to confess that felt sense of profound relief when he accepted the only means ap- parent to his limited understanding of freeing himself from his dilemma. But what was I to dor When a man has an elephant on his hands he should be judged with a. kindly consideration for the awkwardness of his situation.
 My elephant was decidedly more trying than the average variety, for the reason that he was not metaphor ical, but real. What mean is, that am not speaking in figurative lan- guage about some officious friend or troublesome relative, but about gen. uine Asiatic elephant, U lysses by name, who came into my possession several years ago, and of whom have but re- gently managed to rid myself. Phys ically, he was a well-developed speci- men, having no special characteristic to distinguish him from the rest of his species. Intellectually, however, he was sort of a Frankinstein, and was the unfortunate who was re- sponsible for his existence.
 The affair took place at the time that I was representing firm of New York coffee dealers in the district of Khan, in the southern part of Pupjah. During certain seasons of the year I had occasion to travel about that sec- tion of the country, inspecting the crops and making terms with the growers. The rest of the time re- sided at my bungalow among the high lands of the Eastern Chats, not far

The Fall Of Ulysses.

again when his vocabulary has been increased in some other direction.
 A certain point once passed, 1t was surprising with what rapidity pro- ceeded. One word led to another, a number of words to phrases, and these to complete sentences. I finally dropped into 6 way of talking to him about the objects with which we were working, much as I would have talked to bright child. I was conscious at times that only small part of what was saying was understood, but it ac- customed him to hearing the words that he knew, used in association with others, to form complete statements.
 In my search for objects to use in the instruction of Ulysses, I happened upon lump of chalk. With this sketched various things on smooth plank of dark wood, and found that they were readily recognized by my pupil. From this I suddenly con- ceived new idea. I sent to Madras and had large, firm blackboard made, and ordered chalk and erasers. Then I began systematic and determined effort to teach Ulysses to read and write.
 There is one element that enters into all teaching, of which it ia difficult to give any conception In . narrative o1 results, and that is time. I had been steadily at work with Ulysses for nearly . year before I began to use the blackboard, and after I adopted

AAO nCAS VI AAc ulAuQ was otjucutly not practical but literary and artistic.
 Ulysses's fondness for hearing me read gave me an idea as to means of freeing myself from the importunities for instruction and discussion to which he was now treating me, and which were becoming decidedly irksome. l sent Abkar, the mahout, to Madras with letter to a French oculist. He brought back a large monocle which had ordered made for the use of my pupil. There was hole in one of Ulysses's ears, drilled there by some former, less appreciative owner, through which I passed light silk cord, allowing the glass to hang con- veniently pendant. I had a wooden rack constructed by neighboring rayat, who did carpenter work, which held the volume open and ct the right altitude. Ulysses was now ready to begin his literary researches independ- ent of my aid. Kneeling before. the rack, in which he coon learned to fasten the book himself, he lifted the monocle up to his eye with the fingers of his trunk and commenced to read. At first he proceeded slowly, and was often compelled to summon me to his assistance. After explained to him the use of the dictionary and allowed him to keep one near Ut hand, this source of annoyance oeased and he

One piece of warning he gave me in conclusion.
 "The elephant knows as well as you do," said he, "that he is an animal and you are man. He appreciates the distinction. He understands that he is your physical superior, and that he could by single blow of his trunk dash the life ont of you. As long as he is kindly treated, he will feel no desire to exercise that power. In the matter of intellect, he appreciates that you are greatly above him, and will obey and serve you for that reason. Let him once get it into his head, however, that his powers are on a level with your own and his arrogance will become insupportable. The rela- tionship will be suddenly reversed, and you will find yourself no longer his master, but his servant. Several years ago I had very intelligent ele- phant here in the yards whom em- ployed to build stone walls. He be- came marvellously exrert at 1t, pick ing out just the right shaped rocks to fill the spaces with the best economy. The stones are irregular in form, and you can imagine that nc small degree of skill is required. On one occasion he stood near watching me while I en- deavored to teach younger elephant how the work was to be done. I built several feet of wall, but the job was not . successful one-not, at least, when compared with what Budan could do. Whenever picked up the

was completely ignorant. In this field I was continually falling into traps. There were also translations ot Comte and Hegel, to which he had devoted considerable study, but checkmated him there by talking learned nonsense, which I was sure he could not dis tipguish from deep metaphysics. It was evident, however, that he was be- ginning to appreciate that something was the matter.
 Although he had not come to the point of ranking me with Briggs, still my position was getting to be a pre- curious one, and i saw the necessity for great care.
 For eome time I avoided being drawn into conversation with Ulysses, keeping him at bay with . number of new books, which I had brought with me from Madras. He was not long appreciating that there was some pur- pose lying back of this policy, and de- handed an explanation of me. was confused by his point blank questions. and only managed to make things worse. After that was clay in his hands. Every day he branched out into some new field of discussion, tested me, and found me wanting. I tried in vain to conceal my failures under dignified exterior. Ulysses at first seemed pained and surprised, but there finally showed itself in his bearing toward me an air of satisfac- tion and triumph, which was not easy to endure. To have been arrogantly
