An Eskimo Legend of the Raven,

The following fable of how the raven
became black Is common to every Es-
klmo household: Once upon time (all
their stories begin in this way the owl
and raven were fast friends. Indeed,
they were so intimate that they spent
most Of their time together and had
things in common, like brother and sis
ter.
One day the raven made dress Of
dapple white and black for the owl,
and the latter, not to be outdone in
generosity, made pair Of nice whale
bone boots and presented them to the
raven and, not content with this, went
to work upon white dress. When
the raven was asked to try 1t on, she
merrily ran and skipped about and re-
fused to sit still.
BE quiet little while" cried the
owl augrily. IF you don't, will spill
the lamp over your
But the raven paid no attention to
the threat and continued to tease the
owl.
At last, in his yexation, the owl dash
cd the sooty oil in the lamp over the
white suit of the raven and cried out,
"Qua qua"
From that day the unfortunate raven
has worn a black coat,-San Francisco
Call.

bugle, blow" time. They arrived at
the stile. They turned to look back
down the long and leafy avenue
through which they had come. 1t was
all irradiated with the long, level glow
Of the sunset. A tiny black figure at
the far end, which seemed to be NOV
ing toward them, gave the scene just
that little necessary note of human
contrast which made 1t perfect.
They said good night, and the Girton
girl strolled away into the purpltng
shadows, where she was destined to
hear what she had never suspected
that love is, after all, the only higher
mathematics worth the attention of a
girl with soft hands and wavy hair.
Miss Bremmil walked slowly back,
thinking placidly Of their little ro-
nance. Suddenly she heard footsteps
at her side. Some one had come out
from the trees and was pacing with
her. She turned hurriedly toward the
sound. A man was walking by her
with peculiarly gliding, springy step.
He was very tall, with dark and rath-
er sinister face. He was dressed In
the uniform Of the asylum, only with
one difference-on his head he wore a
yellow cap and round his arm was
broad band of yellow cloth.
She shrank back with sick terror
flowing round and round her heart like
icy water. The man was one of the
dangerous" cases, and she was alone
with him at nightfall, too far away to
scream for aid. She was paralyzed
with fear. Suddenly he turned on her
with swift snarl, like a treacherous
animal. He caught her by the arms
and carried her to the nearest tree,
leaning her against 1t.
1--WE wanted something like this for
a long time" he said She observed he
had the voice and accents of gentle.
man. He took a long strip of cloth
from his pocket and made her fast to
the trunk Of the fir tree with it.
He drew table knife from his pock-
et The avenue was now almost dark.
As he came up to her sound of
singing came from among the trees
foolish, Maynard singing, in broad
Worcestershire accent. They distin-
guished the words:
II be the rightful king
OF England, merry England"
Early In the afternoon the rIghtful
king had been digging In a plantation
Of larches. He had left his spade and
was now coming to fetch it.
Miss Bremmll heard the voice and
gave one cry for help. The knife was
dangerously near her. The rightful
king came stumbling up. He saw the
girl tied to the tree and the man with
the knife. He flung himself upon the
mailman with great cry of pity and
anger.
They rolled over and over on the
ground, struggling fiercely, but at last
the old man was mastered. He was no
match for the others demoniac
strength. The girl saw the knife rise
and fall, and then the air was suddenly
full Of whistles and red dancing lights.
There were crowds of people pressing
round her, and she tainted In her IA
theirs arms.
The body Of the rightful king lay
upon the sward. There was nothing
poetic about it. In death it was even
more foolish than in life.
"Poor old rightful king" said one of
the keepers. "He died for missy.
Who'd have thought tt? He's gone
from his kingdom now.'
"This Is his coronation day." said the
chaplain gently.-Mainly About Peo-
