Ono That Died.


One That Died.
A remarkably intelligent elephant,
working few years ago on a new
bridge in Ceylon. had young one to
whom she was devoted. 1t died. and
she became inconsolable.
Formerly the gentlest Of creatures,
she grew irritable, and even danger

which confined her and escaped into
the forest.
One night, about ten days after her
escape, the officer who haS been in
charge of her went out to lie in wait
for bears at pond in a jungle at
some distance.
As he and his native attendant were
returning, early in the morning, the
native silently nudged him, and they
saw in the dim, gray light an elephant
with her calf making their way
toward the camp. They both sprang
behind trees, and when the elephants
had passed the native insisted that
the older one was their old friend,
the inconsolable mother.
When they reached the camp they
found that the truant had returned,
and had gone from one person to an
other. touching each with her trunk,

away to snatch the tongs from a serf

fagot upon the fire. At any other

but it was little loud talking that was
done within the walls these days.
When they were left alone, the old
cniht threw himself back upon the
bench and covered his face with his

For time he lay as stark and rigid
as though death had already closed

to become a funeral chamber, with

"It means-so much to mel" the

canted.
Now l bethink me, l am wrong,
and it is no ones fault. 1t comes of
the curse that lies over the Island.
Was there not something rotten in all
English palisades, it would never have
happened that the pirates got their
first foothold. But we have shaken
off the spell, and they have not mas
tered us yet. Tonight we will try to
get a messenger out to my kinsman
in Yorkshire, and another to my faith
er's friend in Essex"
The next day, and for many days
thereafter, the Tower windows stared
out like expectant eyes. But no de-
livering bands ever came over the
hills to reward their watching. From
the moment that he was swallowed by
tho outer darkness, the messenger
for Yorkshire was as lost to their
sight as though he had plunged into
the ocean. And a week later the man
who had been sent to Essex crept
back with a detection that foretold
his i'll success. The californian was
taxed, might and main, to protect his
own lands. He regretted 1t, to his
innermost vitals, but these were days
when each must stand or fall for him
self. He could only send his sympa-
thy and the counsel to hold out un-
finchingly in the hope that some
fortune of war would call the besieg-
ers away.
When he heard that, Father Ingulph
forgot his robes to indulge in a curse.
