"He must have been very happy"

81 do not know" said Lyndall, but
he had what he said he would have,
and that is better than being happy.
He was their master. and all the people
were white with fear of him. He was
one, and they were many, and they got
him down at last. They were like the
wildcats when their teeth are fast in a
great dog, like cowardly Wildcats,
said the child-"they would not let him
go. They were many. He was only
one. They sent him to an island in the
sea, a lonely island, and kept him there
fast. He was one man, and they were
many, and they were terrified at him.
1t was gloriousw said the child.
"And what then" said EN-.
"Then he was alone there in that is
land, with men to watch him always"
said her companion slowly and quietly,
"and in the long lonely nights he used
to lie awake and think Of the things he
had done in the old days and the things
he would do If they let him go again.
In the day, when he walked near the
shore, 1t seemed to him that the sea all
around him was cold chain about his
body pressing him to DEATH"
"And thenY' said EN-. much inter-
ested.
"He died there in that island. He
never got away"
"It is rather a nice story" said EN-.

the little teller Of the story, leaning
forward on her folded arms, ''and the
worst is it is true. have noticed"
added the child very deliberately, that
it is only the made up stories that end
nicely. The true ones all end So"
AS she spoke the boys dark, heavy
eyes rested on her face.
"You have read it, have you not?"
He nodded. YES; but the brown
history tells only what he did. not

nearer to her and sitting down at her
feet. What you want to know they

Then the children fell into silence
till Doss. the dog, growing uneasy at
it's long continuance, shifted at one
and the other, and his master broke
forth suddenly.
IF they could talk, If they could
tell us now" he said, moving his hand
out over the surrounding objects, ''then
we would know something. This 'kop-
je.' IL 1t could tell us how it came here!

went on. most rapidly and confusedly,
'1that what are dry lands now were
once lakes. And what think. is this:
These low hills were once the shores
Of lake. This 'kopje' is some Of the
stones that were at the bottom, rolled
together by the water. But there Is
this: How did the water. come to make
one heap here alone in the center Of the
plain?' 1t was ponderous question.
No one volunteered an answer. when
was little" said the boy. II always
looked at 1t and wondered, and I
thought great giant was buried un-
der it. Now know the water must
have done 1t, but how? 1t is very won
derful Did one little stone come first
and stop the others as they rolledY'
said the boy, with earnestness, in a
low voice, more as IL speaking to him
self than to them.
"Oh. Waldo, God put the little 'kopje'
here" said EN-, with solemnity.
''But how did he put it hereY
by wanting"
But how did the wanting bring it
hereY'
Because it did"
The last words were uttered with the
air Of one who produces a clinching
argument. What effect it had on the
questioner was not evident, for he
made no reply and turned away from
her.
Drawing closer to Lyndall's feet, he
said after awhile in low voice:

that the stones were talking OF you?

He worked hard, very hard, to find the
