Miss Parloa's Protection Against
Moths.
From this month on the cloth moth
begins to make it's appearance, depos-
iting it's eggs in furs and all kinds OF
WOODEN materials, and often in Gre
vices in doors, closets and boxes. It
always seeks quiet, dark places.
Closets, drawers and boxes should be
cleaned now. Take special pains to
clean thoroughly each crack and
groove. Buy at the druggists few
ounces of the oil of red cedar With
a small brush, such as artists use, ap-
ply the oil of cedar to all cracks and
grooves in boxes and drawers, and to
the tops of doors and baseboards in
closets, also around the edges of the
floors. Use very little of the oil.
There must not be enough to soil any

And the old gentleman ran to The

There, you see. Frau Jussnitz,
that must be it. and here is some
thing about it: Munich, August so,
IS. In the department of bronzes
and artistic casts, the first work Of a
young artist has attracted much at
tention: Chains! Original in con-
ception, perfectly finished in the
modelling, it is one of the most
charming works in the whole EXPOSE
ton. The expression of the Womap's
face, as we'll as the attitude of her
whole body, has touched and charmed
every spectator. Herr Leo Jussnitz,
the creator of this work of art, has,

Antje had all at once caught the
paper from the old mans hands, and

encouragement of his celebrated
master, turned his attention to paint

ments, he again took up this other
branch of his art"
Ante let the paper drop. She
looked at Herr Kortmer, but the ole
man shook his head and turned
quickly toward the door There he
stopped for a moment, took off his
spectacles and wiped them, for they

CHAPTER xxx.

Nearly two years have passed A
deep blue summer sky spans the
Harz mountains. and the air here is
fresh and clear.
The iron works ''GotteSsegen"
have changed somewhat; new build
ings have started up everywhere
from among the green trees, and the
workmenS houses have grown into
quite respectable village. The
traveller must still penetrate to this
remote region by carriage or on foot,
fol- the railroad runs down below
through the valley. But many
strangers come up, nevertheless,
through these splendid woods, for
"Gottessegen" has grown to be quite
a celebrated spot in the world.
Today stately man has descended

liclous trout as are not to be found

willing, and Harris promised that he
should travel with the show when the
season opened. The good-hearted man
ager even wanted to have him taught
to ride. but Weary was intent upon be-
ing an elephant keeper and his only
regret was that he could not be with
Manata all the time.
1t was Just about this time that he
was in the ring barn one day watching
Savilla's dogs doing tricks, when
terrible uproar broke out In the ele-
plant house. Bareheaded and coatless,
Weary dashed across the yard, just as
OBrien was flung through the open
door, falling heavily upon the ground.
Weary rushed inside and in an instant
saw what the trouble was. Some one
had given Tommy Harris, the 6-year-
old son of the proprietor. a live mouse
with a string tied to its tail.
Tommy had proudly made the rounds
OF the stables till he came to the ele-
plant house. O'Brien had stepped out
for moment and so Tommy showed
the mouse to the elephants.
Now, an elephant is terribly afraid
of mouse, so for a few minutes they
had shivered in dread, then Boston,
who was something of a rogue" be-
gan to tug at his fastenings. Just as
he had pulled out his stake, O'Brien
had rushed In to be promptly picked
up in the rogue's trunk and thrown
out of the door.
Weary's entrance diverted Boston's
attention from Tommy and he made
lunge for the larger boy, but Weary
slipped behind Mahata and releasing
the chain gave him quick order. The
huge beast obedientiy swung him up
on its back. Then the two friends
went numbering across the barn, and
just as Boston was about to grab
Tommy, Mahata struck the brute
squarely in the side with his powerful
head. The rogue's trunk just missed
the frightened boy, and, before he
could swing 1t back Mahata under
Weary's orders had pushed the mad
beast against the heavy wall.
A moment later, .OBrien and some
Of the animal keepers rushed in, and
while one caught Tommy and carried
him to safety, the others got a chain
about the neck of the trumpeting
rogue. He was then dragged back to
his place and staked under double
chains till he should quiet down
O'Brien had a little talk with Mr..
Harris that evening, In which he told
the proprietor that nothing but Wea-
RVS influence over Mahata had averted
the death of Tommy and a stampede
of the elephants. That was why the
boy wore a red uniform during the
next road season, and was announced
as the THE Youngest elephant Keep
er in the World" y q,
Ee has a troupe of trained elephants
of his own now, and he never regrets
the time when he carried out his
threat and ran away to a circus.

WHEN RAMA KILLED THE ELK

About it lay the dores, the masters,
all young men, laughing and hearty,
with short pipes in their teeth. Be-
tween their legs, listening gravely, loll-

the pack, the wiry, low-running, clear
throated beagles. Back IN the shad-

wore snowy head cloths, and some
caps of the skin of the panther. Black
Land brown were their faces and their
lean limbs, bare from the knee, with
| feet impervious to thorn or flint stone.
Suddenly from the mountain ridges
there rang a cry.
To their feet leaped the white men;
to their legs jumped the beagles; the
attendants ceased their work and their
chatter; even the naked children for
