The youth wrote few lines. Then
he rose.
Perhaps we had better read the note

Hang him at oneem was now the
cry.
They surrounded him. uttering fierce
cries. and making wild gestures.
One of them had meanwhile pro-
cured rope, which he now secured
about Williams neck.
The other end of the rope was then
thrown over high branch of the tree,
to be seized by several of the band.
''Hauir' shouted the leader.
The men hauled, aud William swung
from the tree.

there was not so much danger.
The shocks Of the earthquake lasted
full hour. Rocks were dislodged
and went rolling along with the din Of
thunder, crashing through the shrub
berry and into the gurgling waters far
below. while many trees were torn up
from their roots, to be sent trembling

In the morning Bernard, who, un.
disturbed by the shocks had remained
all night in his hut. rose to depart fol
the town. Ruin greeted his sight or
every hand. Finally he caught sigh
of paper fast TO twig. He seized
it and perused its contents, which were
as follows:

How Elephants Are Tanned.

In the island of Ceylon the people are
very fond of elephant hunting. They be
gin by clearing an open space near forest
part of which is strongly fenced in with
trunks of trees, with open places for doors
This is called a corral When so much OF
the work Is done the natives get behind
and around the elephants with blazing
torches, shaking spears and rafting all
kinds of noisy instruments in order to
brighten the huge animals while all the
time driving them toward the open doors
of the corral
At last with rush the great herd enters
the entrances are barred, and the poor
giants of the woods find themselves hope
lessly imprisoned. An elephants rage is
dreadful to witness, but the ingenuity oil
man has found a way of subduing 1t. One
by one each prisoner is freed again, and
tame elephants, remarkable for their
sagacity, come up to him, stroke him with
their trunks and otherwise cajole him
until they lead him on to a good, strong
tree. The natives creep up behind, and in
minute a rope with a running knot is
around the elephants leg and made fast to
tree.
All the time this is going on the tame
elephants are humoring their deluded vic
tim, but rs soon rs he is secured they 60
away and leave him, which is a shabby
trick, Then the men bring him nice cocoa
nuts and leaves to eat, which, of course, he
refuses, as he is again in great passion
and struggling to be free. But hunger
subdues even the fiercest, and at last his
wild roaring ceases to resound through the
woods and he is forced to eat.
From that time the tanning process is
comparatively easy; again and again he is
fed, as he requires it, by a kind hand; and
the elephant, susceptible to kindness, be
