Rajah. The Rajah himself mounted on his the few officers who had remained with the favorite elephant and escaped, but the wicked courtiers were all killed, which was a very good thing.
 The Rajah had loaded his elephant with IA bags of gold, hidden under little bundles of cloth, and he himself was disguised as merchant Still, he was very sad, for he was all alone, all his courtiers were dead, he had no place to go, and, although one single bag of gold would have seemed tremendous fortune to poor man, the Rajah had frequently spent IA bags in one day. "Ahi What Is to become of me?" he cried as the elephant trotted along far away from the furious people, who were destroying the gorgeous palace.
 "Be of good cheer, master" replied the elephant. Things may be better than you think
 "I don't see how they could be much worse,'' said the Rajah, angrily. Here l am, driven away from my country, my pal ace burned, nowhere to lay my head and very little money and my enemies every where. When my money is gone I must sell you. Then will have to walk, and that would be a fearful disgrace for a Rajah.'' The elephant had lived among the people when he was young, and he knew how they lived. "Cheer up, master" he said. "One single gold coin is enough to keep us for a day, and that finely. These IA bags that feel on my back will last for great many years. You have no idea how cheap things are. Now, if you will do just as I tell you and let no one know that you are the Rajah we will get along finely, and you may sit on the throne

 Bud had been gazing wide-eyed at Helen while her brother was stating his doubts. Now he said. with decision:
 Reckon if yer srs' wants t teach, she1l teach. Ye jest leave that to me n pap" The boys would wait no longer, and departed for their slain quarry, while the girls discussed the project with enthusiasm.
 Two days later, as Helen was regarding with dismay huge grease spot which Georges bear skin had made on the floor. she was startled by the shadow of tall form which blocked the doorway. It was MT. Dobbins, the father of Bud and Miss. Behind him were two other mountaineers, equally tall, gaunt and unkempt. They en. tered at her invitation, and seated them. selves on the extreme edges of the straight. backed chairs.

 Miss was very ignorant and uncouth, but she knew more about housework and cook ing than Helen had ever dreamed of. NJ liss had been reared in a hard school, and the lesson that priyation had taught her was to make the most of everything.

 Soon after breakfast the boys started off to search forfthe missing trap, while Helen escUrfedvM. Hiss over the bdnting lodge. Then they retpEhed to the Kitchen, and M'liss with a great show of superiority, offered to show Helen how to make milk pudding" ," Helen gladly accepted the. offer, and. get ting her treasured receipt book, found the printed. instructions for the dish, and pro- ceeded to compare them with Miss direc- tions.

 Helen was delighted with these offers, when she expected no pay whatever, and hastened to accept them with thanks. The mountaineers left, highly pleased; but their enthusiasm was as nothing beside Georges. when that evening Helen advised him of her visitors and their offer.
 What luckl he cried "You are a good angel, sister mine. l believe we can actually make money here, if the crops turn out well; but that Is half year off yet. Anyway. I am glad, for the first time, that we left the city. where we should have had to live in poverty and be looked down upon, for this wild country, where we are landed gentry and are treated with respect" And Helen agreed with him.

not go to school more. than two months in any year. In those days, too, there were very few subjects taught, and the few books that Horace needed were not provided free, ns all are now. This was very discouraging to little Horace, for he had to braid straw 10 earn the books his studies required. Most of his early education was gained in a small library. in the town, where he found some books on history and theology, books so dry that no scholar of today could take the slightest interest in them.
 Horace persevered; finally passed through college and. became a great lawyer. Long before middle age he devoted his life to the improvement of educational methods, and our wonderful system of schools stands to- day as the greatest monument man could have.

 Helen was greatly dismayed at the pros pect of an unexpected examination but the very first questions she was asked were so ludicrously simple that she was not only en- tirely at her ease, but had great difficulty to keep from laughing In the faces of her guests. She told them what and where she had studied, and their respect and surprise grew to such astonishing proportions that they were quite unable to express it. At last MT. Dobbins said:

The idea has been suggested of telling a few new ways of having fun with our dumb animals that will not hurt them, which, for the most part, they will readily understand and enjoy quite as much as their young mas ters and mistresses. One entertaining pas time is to play house" with a kitten. All thatHs necessary is little bell, similar to a sleighbell, or the kind often tied around pussy's neck; a small box and spool.

Perhaps his work in this direction grew out of the difficulty he experienced in ob- tainipg his own education. His parents were very poor people, living on a small farm in Massachusetts, and young Horace was obliged to work very hard with the rest of the family. He had to work so hard, in fact, that until his fifteenth year he could
