hour and a half for india, and at
the end Of ali hour and a half
he tainted away. They took him
up and carried him to the vestibule.
When he revived he said, I didn't
get quite through. let me go back
and finish. They said, IF you go
back it will cost you your life
WELL he SAID, I shall die if I
don't So they carried him back.
AS they passed up the aisle the peo-
pie rose, and tears flowed down
every cheek at the sight of the old
veteran. He said to them:
Fathers and mothers of Scot
land, is it true that you have got no
more SONS to give to India? have
spent twenty five years of my life
there. and l have come back to die;
there is plenty of money in the

queen to 60 there in the army, they

The Sword Of Damocles.

There was once king whose

Unjust and cruel that he won for
himself the name of tyrant. He
knew that almost every rybody hated
him, and so lie was always in dread
lest somebody should take his life.
But he was very rich, and he
lived in fine palace where there
were many beautiful and costly
things, and he was waited on by a
host of servants. who were always
ready to do his bidding. One day
a friend of his, whose name was
Damocles, said to him:
"How happy you must be. You
have here everything that man could
wisll."

places with me-" said thetyrant.

Damocles; "bnt + think that if
could only have your riches and
your pleasures for one day. I should
not want any greater happiness"
Very WE'LL" said the tyrant,
"you shall have them"
And SO, the next day Damocles
was led into the palace and all the
servants hidden to treat him as their
master. He sat down at a table in
the banquet hall and rich food was
placed before him. Nothing was
wanting that could give him pleas

beautiful flowers, and rare perfumes
and delightful music.
