CHAPTER XXI.

THE SACRED PINK ELEPHANT OF SIAM.
BY this time Harold and lone were within the
territory OF the kingdom of Siam. They decided it
would be fine thing TO paint the elephant so they
each took a whitewash brush and began TO work
for dear life, and in couple OF hours there stood
before them their beloved elephant. transformed
from a plain, ordinary mouse colOred elephant
into beautiful rose pink one,
When their work done they fairly howIed
with delight, but their mf~th was cut short bv
hearing the crushing OF bushes behind them and
the footsteps OF some huge animal coming toward
them Before they could pick up their buckets
and brushes an immense rhinoceros crashed
through the bushes and advanced straight toward
them If he had come for that express purpose.
They dropped everything. and flew over the ground
in their mad haste to escape before the rhnoceros
pinioned them the single horn in his nose.
Luckily for them the trapdoor was open. and the
little stairs hung out. They Just reached it in
time and HaroId's legs had Just disappeared inside
when the rhinoceross nose went bang against the
stairs and nearly upset the elephant. Harold
slammed the door in his face and then turned on
the electricity. and wheeling his elephant around
went for the rhtnoceros in fine shape. Thick
skinned he was he was not proof against the
tremendous volts OF electricity sent through him:
they hit his heart, and that was the last Of him.
The next morning advanced. and Harold noticed
elephant with a rider his back come out OF
the jungle and advance toward them
'Ho! Hor' thought he. Here is the head hunter
Of the Prince OF Siam on tame elephant. and his
object Is to have his elephant make friends with
ours entice it into elephant trap and then
capture it for present to the prince. III Just
save him that trouble by following him and stick
ing to him like a brother until we enter the princes
garden"
Never before was so valuable an elephant caught
with little trouble.
The morning of the seventh day. Just at sunrise
dozens Of high pointed towers and minarets were
seen piercing the clear blue sky Ike so many
needles and as the suns rays hit them they
seemed to turn to flames Of yellow gold. These
towers and minarets belonged to the palace of the
richest prince in Siam.
Presently travellers entered beautiful, In
closed yard, in which magnificent elephants
house. This was built OF white marble in the
shape OF a large pagoda, with towers and minarets
and with huge doors Of solid bronze. Into this the
elephant led. They noticed in passing a mar
vellous white marble bathtub sunk in the ground
over one hundred feet In length. and filed with
pure. clear water to the depth OF twenty feet
They had been here only a short time. when the
large bronze doors were thrown open. and a small
army OF servants marched in. some carrying
sponges, others towels, and sti others scrubbing
brushes. When Harold they wanted the ele-

The people were all frightened,
Some prepared TO move away;
Just before the dreadful rupture
Which was in the month of May.
Upon a beautiful morning.
A black cloud covered the sky,
And a deepening roar. ike thunder,
Came from Mount Pelee high
The people tried to get away
But were cOvered-lava fell all around,
And Mount Peee burst forth in fire,
With terrible laundering sound.
Then great high wave rushed forward,
Dashed in from the open sea,
And destroyed the vessels, anchored
With the exception Of two or three.
Mount Pelee had never been active,
Since fifty years ago;
The people thought the mountain dead,
But the people did not know.

These stanzas were written by r. Maxwell Dram,

the eruption Of Mont Pelee. His mother writes
that he composed them in ten minutes:
There was terror IN the city.
In the city Of ST. Pierre;
For the great and fierce Mont Pelee
Was periously near.
The earth, # heaved and trembed,
From the mountains, rising high:
And the people would all tremble,
As they were passing by.
Sparks few from its crater
And IL rumbled fierce and loud
And the smoke came black and threatening
In an ominous looking cloud.
