again how the boy had gone to the
river to fish and had crawled out upon
a log the better to get his ridiculous
bent pin Of a hook within reach Of the
big, big fish. Thus lie told the tale
himself, The log had not been fastcn-
ed securely, and it had sailed away
with him, far, far away, miles and
miles, almost 10 Europe he thought
He was not frightened much. 1t was
fun until the river ran between high
bluffs over great stones and the log
dipped and pitched and rolled. lie fell
off at last, and Il man who had been
watching him from cave up in the
bluff came rushing down and waded
and Splashed and swan after him and
down and spanked him to get the
water out, and carried him to cave,
and built fire and dried his clothes,
and fed him some luscious dried beef
and crackers, and finally. long, long
after dark. put him upon his back and
gave him dandy ride home.
He was a real nice man." said the
boy in concluding the account. "He
told me stories of kings who had heaps
of money and of queens who had so
many jewels they didn't know what to
do. told him I'd bet they didn't have
any more money than my papa or any
more jewels than my mamma, and he
seemed greatly interested. He didn't
come clear to the house with me. He
put me down at the corner and told me
to scoot, and l scooted."
Heaven bless him. said the boys
parents fervently. I'VE should like to
see him and thank him for the great
service he has rendered US"
81 wish you could" returned the boy
earnestly. He was such a nice man.
one night about two weeks later the
boys father was awakened by the
sound Of a rising window sash, and he
crept from his bed and took a revolver
from a bureau drawer. Softly ks
passed down the stairs, but not so sorl-
~ that he was not heard by man
standing by the sideboard in the dining
room. The man fred a pistol. and the
boys father fired in return. The first
shot had no effect. The second had.
When the boys father turned Oh the

the floor bleeding.

wild Animals sim Plentiful.

Most boys have the idea that wild
animals are very rare now or that you
must 90 into the far west to lind them
While this is true of some of the
large kinds. it is yet safe TO say that
any one in the eastern states can

less. get into a region where he may
discover some wild creatures. He may
walk through a place again and again

sound of swishing garments upon the
stairway, and the boy entered the
