..Honesty the Best Policy

The young should very early learn the
great honor attached to promptness in pay
ing debts, even when of the most trihing
nature. Childhood is precious period Of
life for forming sterling character. The
boys and girls who meet debts with prompt
ness will become possessed of a habit when
they attain manhood and womanhood that
will always bring them friends and gain
them respect. 1t is pre-eminently in
youth that the desire to meet obligations
may be most firmly implanted and become
permanent possession. Children are
quick to catch the spirit of those they are
with; they soon learn to value the same
things, and to strive for them. And the
desire for a worthy object, continually
striven for and obtained, grows into
habit of the heart, as any oft-repeated
manual operations grow into habit of the
hand. And what habit can be so inesti-
Unable 10 the individual or so valuable to
society as that which leads men and
women to meet every obligation as it arises,
gladly end speedily, with the satisfaction
every honest man feels in paying his
debts.

By this time the spectators had de-

Pardon me, Gisele, for not acceding to
this new caprice Of yours as to the first"
replied Robert. 81 have resolved to enter
the cage and shall do so.o
Robert turned away from Gisele, and a
moment aiterward he and the lion tanner
entered the cage. The lions, eight in
number, moved hither and thither,
obedient to the command of their master,
but their large golden eyes showed their
establishment at the presence of this in
truder who accompanied him.
Giesle and Langle looked on in silence
and in agony. Giesle, who was very pale,
was only prevented from giving voice to
her anguish by the fear of aggravating her
lovers peril. Her eyes, which were big
with fright, were fixed on Robert. He,
on the other hand. was quite calm, at least
in appearance. Like Bidel, he was armed
with a bar Of iron and raw hide. He
was thus deubly prepared to repel the lions
if they came too near him.
Robert was in the cage about FIVE min

who, radiant with JOY, her hands extended,

All at once. from some part OF the camp
beyond the circle of freight, came the
same melancholy, long.drawn cry that
had first directed the boys attention to
this place, and he now recognized it as the
howl OF dog in distress.
At the sound the largest and most
powerful of all the tramps, who had been
lying motionless, stretched at full length
on the ground, sprang up and in fierce
voice exclaimed:

the river from the opposite side Of their
boat. with the hope Of gaining the bank at
safe distance below.
Uncle Phin was helpless with terror, and
completely bewildered by the suddenness
of the peril that threatened them. Thus it
was entirely owing to Arthur's presence of
mind and quick wit that their boat was
saved and they escaped the necessity Of
taking the desperate plunge that would
probably have drowned one or both of them
The boy had noticed that the storm came
from over the hills on their side of the
river, and how, as the fierce blasts swept
down and struck the broadside of the ark,
she tugged and strained at her moorings.
Now he remembered this and was quick
to turn his observations to account

blow the rope holding the boat at one end,
and then, running to the other, cut that
with equal promptness. Next, thrusting .

hands. he babe the old man shove off from
shore with all his strength, at one end,
while. with lighter pole, he did the same
thing at the other. Their feeble strength
would have availed little, but for the
powerful aid lent by the favoring gale.
While this hurled the advancing flames
fiercely toward them. it also drove them,
at first slowly, then more rapidly, beyond
reach of the danger.
There was hardly ten feet of open water
between the ark and the shore she had
just left, when the flames sprang down the
bank. and began to spread over the surface
OF the river, the oil burning here as readily
as on land. For q minute it seemed as though
the fire must catch and devour them after
all. It's flames leaped eagerly forward. like
million writhing serpents. with red ferked
tongues darling after their prey.
Push, Uncle Phin! Push for your life!"

recognize it as the very one that had been

day before. There could be no doubt about
it, for there were the same erect, sharp
pointed ears. the same white-tipped little
tail and the same brindled markings. 1t
was indeed poor Rusty and Arthur's heart
ached to see him in SO wretched plight.
How could he have come there? What
were they about to do with him2 The last
question was quickly answered.
The big tramp took the rope from the
lads hand, at the same time bidding him

Arthur's blood boiled at these words,
How could any body be SO cruel7 Would
the boy dare beat his dog?
The heavy switch was uplifted and
brought down with vicious force on the ami
malls back. He uttered q sharp cry of pain
and terror.
Again was the switch lifted, but before it
could descend it was snatched from the
boys hand and flung away; while he was
confronted by a sturdy little figure with
blazing eyes. "How dare you strike my

and trembled with anger. HE is mine |!

The other boy stared at this one in OPEN
mouthed amazement, while the other
tramps, who had been startled by the sight
of the strange little figure, as it dashed into
their camp from the dark forest, now gath
cred about the two to see the fun.
"Well, my BANTAM" said the big tramp
to Arthur, 81 don't know who you are, nor
where you come from; but you talk pretty
big about your dog. Kid here seys its his

looking the big tramp bravely in the face.
"Oh! we'll, then, its the Kids dog, and
he'll do as he pleases with him. Kid, give

The boy lifted his foot; but again Arthur
sprang in front of him. "You shan't kick

his fists. and his face grew very ple.

still carried his precious book in one hand
and the great bunch of flowers that he had

Suddenly he came to an abrupt pause on
the edge of a shallow ravine, through
which laughed and tumbled small brook.
The sides OF the ravine were quite steep,
and, almost at his feet, the boy saw a sight
that filled him with amazement
About glowing fire, occupying all sorts
OF easy positions, were grouped rumber

dirty and unshaven. Their clothes were
made up of odds and ends. Some of them
were smoking short black pipes; some
were talking loudly and others lay per-
fectly still, as though asleep. Two of the
number seemed to be preparing supper, for
they were al work about the fire. and were
evidently anxious regarding the contents
of some tin cans and several battered ket-
ties. AT short distance from the fire
were two or three rude huts of poles and
branches.
