 "You can come and help peel the peaches now, Marian" called Mrs. Gra- ham to her daughter.
 Marian came, looking admiringly at the baskets of rosy sy-cheeked, dOwny fruit on the great table, all of which was waiting to be made into peacI but ter.
 ''Is that your pearl ring?" asked her mother.
 "Oh-yes. I was clearing my drawer and put it on to see how pretty it looks, and forgot it. I'll take it off,"
 The pretty lassie worked for hours over the peaches, pairing, stoning, meas uring out sugar, stirring and tasting. At length she skipped up to her room to dress, but soon came running back with an anxious face.
 My ring, Deborah I left it on the corner of the table-back here. Have you seen it?"
 ''The land, Miss Marian! No, ain't. And I've just this blessed minute scraped up all the peelin's and flung 'em out to the pigs
 With tears in her eyes Marian ran out to the lot in which the pigs were kept, and searched eagerly. But the grunters had made quick work of their luscious meal, and no ring was to be found. More slowly she went back, and looked about the kitchen with a forlorn hope that the ring might have escaped. But Deborah's scraping had been vigorous. and she went upstairs again with woe begone look.
 ''She's a dreadful careless little piece said Deborah, looking after her, always a-leavin' her things round. But ain't a-goin' to say it to her now she's a-feelin' so bad"
 "Ha! ha-you thievin' rascal! I've caught you at last, aint' I?'
 Mrs. Graham and Marian hurried out at sound of Deborahs excited voice, to see Jim struggling in her grasp. He was uttering sharp, angry cries and dO- ing his best to free himself.
 ''I was just a-washin' my dishes, cried Deborah, ''when this limb come a-peek- in an a-pryin' round. I mistrusted he was up to somethin', an kep' my eye on him and seen him pick up one O my teaspoons and sneak off with it. l took after him, and just got hold O him right here-see? He was just a-slippin' that spoon into that hole fer to hide it!''
 Mrs. Graham looked curiously at the hole, small one near the ground in the weather-hOardino of the spring house.
 Bring an axe and knock that off, Deborah" she said.
 Deborah did so, and the three bent over what they saw
 ''I'm blessed if there aint my pepper pot exclaimed Deborah.
 More than the pepper-pot was thfre. Keys, nails, screws, a buttOn-hook, gimlet and as they turned them over Marian gave a scream of delight and snatched up her pearl ring.
 Then she made quick rush for Jim, ana nuSged ana IOnuleu nIIn unCh ho bit her to make her let him go, when he flew to the top of the spring-house, and stood there chattering his discontent at such rough handling.

THE FAITHFUL ELEPHANT.
One Who Would Not Stir Untn He Heard
His Masters Vofca

One Who Would Not Stir UntII He Heard
His Masters Voice.
In some countries in Asia an elephant
is made to carry the flag in battles.
This is because the elephant is so tall,
and the soldiers can easily see the flag
flying from his back. One of these ele-
plants, which belonged to the Poona
host, was very brave and very kind, but
he would obey the order of no one ex-
cept his mahout, or driver. One time,
while very fierce fight was raging, the
driver called out to him; STAND. my
brave beast, stand" A moment later
abe mahCut received fatal
wound and fell to the ground,
where he lay beneath pile of wounded
and slain. The obedient animal would
not move. though the battle ragged fierce
ly around him. The Poona soldiers, who
feared they were being overcome, were
cheered on by the sight of the flag still
floating from his back. He never stirred
a foot, and all through the hot fight, the
noise, the smoke, the confusion, listened
patiently for the voice of his master.
Sharp spears were hurled at him, a
score of javelins pierced his sides, his
long ears dripped with blood, but he
stood like a rock.
Come forward, my menl" cried the
Poona Captain; 'our flag still floats and
the battle will yet be ours"
His men, discouraged and ready to fly,
rallied at his command, and with p
cheer for the flag pressed forward. in
short time they had won the victory
and put the enemy to fight. And then
they gathered around the brave ele-
plant, offering to lead him where he
could be fed and cared for. But, though
wounded and worn, the obedient Great
ure would not move until he heard his
masters voice. That master could never
speak again. A rider was sent in great
haste to place fifty miles away, where
lived the drivers little son, whom the
elephant knew and loved. When the
little boy was brought to the battle
ground the elephant showed very plain
ly that he was glad to see him. and per-
mitted the child to lead him away.-Our
