THE LOGICAL ROUTE TO THUNDER MOUNTAIN.
From Northern Points.

From the terminus of the Northern Pacific rail-
road at Sites to Elk City by wagon road is fifty
three miles.
From Elk City to Dixie by wagon road is TWEEN
ty-seven miles,
From Dixie to Salmon river crossing by pack
trail is twelve miles.
From Salmon river crossing to the Copper camp
on Big Creek is thirty miles by pack trail.
From the Copper camp Roosevelt by pack trail is
twenty miles.
The country immediately contiguous to this route
is quite densey populated to the crossing Salmon
river. Thus it will be seen the trip can be made by
easy stages the entire distance.
For instance, twelve miles from Sites is the lively
little town of Clearwater with population of seve
raj hundred, which is the last town until Elk City is
reached, but there are road houses every ten or
twelve miles at which accommodations can be secur-
ed at reasonable rates.

The Iron Heart of Peter Stark

Once, in that part of Pennsylvania
that now is bare and dusty. with sooty
smoke rising out of tall chimneys from
skyline to skyline, there was rich
farm of many acres owned by old
Peter Stark.
Old Peter was a shrewd business
mand and he accumulated a comfort
able fortune. He always sold his
crops to better advantage than did his
neighbors, and his possession of am
pie cash enabled him to buy more and
more land at favorable times.
Yet with all his shrewdness and sue
cess Peter Stark never turned an un-
seeing eye or deaf ear to any one
in need. His purse and his house were
always open, so much so that through
out that part of Pennsylvania he was
known as "Soft-hearted Peter" and
when people spoke of him he was called
by that name much more often than by
his real name.
He lived to be a very old man. One
day he called his only son and said to
him:
II shall die soon, and everything
that / possess will be left to you.
There will be no conditions, except
one. 1 foresee great changes in the
land. In years TO come you may wish

the torrent that now feeds the brooks

BILE comes to you at last, as it must
come to all of us, promise me that you
will climb to the ridge and spend a
whole day among the treets alone"
Young Peter promised, and soon

THE TWO MAGICIANS OF BAGDAD
And the Spell That They Wove in the SuItan's
Palace

Hearing a footstep the boy sprang
into A clump of bushes and saw from
his hiding place a man come down the
walk whom he at once recognized as
the Sultan.
The Sultan went up to the bear and
began to taunt him. saying "Ha! hai
your highness, how goes it now?
trust you are enjoying yourself Have
you any commands for your slave?"
and much more to the same effect.
while the bear tried vainly to get at
him and tear him TO pieces.
How now?" said the man, why
this rage? Am / not as good a Sultan
as you were? My revenue is greater,
anyway"
Ahmed saw it all now. The sham
Sultan was the wicked magician who
had not returned one day from the
garden with his companion, but who
had changed himself into a likeness of
the real Sultan. whom he had trans
formed into a bear.
When the sham Sultan had returned
to the palace, Ahmed made his way
out of the garden, and, remembering
what he had overheard the magician
say about the sesame seeds, he re-
turned the next night with a lot of
them in his pocket. Sprinkling these
on the bear he saw it gradually change
into the real Sultan, Abdul the Good.
Ahmed shouted for joy, and at the
sound the sham Sultan came running
out of the palace with his scimetar
drawn, and calling for his guards. AS
he rushed toward Ahmed and the real
Sultan to cut them down, the boy
flung a handful of sesame seeds in his

river he had got mired, and though
oGher elephants did all they could to
help him out it was not possible to get
free.
He had been there two days when
the white men and natives arrived and
fastened ropes to him and lifted him
out. When taken to camp he had re-
fused all drink and had tried to kill
one of the white men, and in return
he had been punished severely.
The best thing you can do is to be
quiet" he said. You will get all the
food you can eat, and if we are sent
away we must make the best of it,
AS for me, l should like to see other
people and strange lands. Here in the
forest we see nothing but the same old
sights over and over again"
We were at the camp a full month
before we moved. and during this time
the men captured another elephant,
two more buffaloes and several wolves.
AS everybody spoke kindly to me,
and as l got the best of food, l began
to like the people around me and the
new life | was living.

thrilling adventure to tell you.

afterwards old Peter died. His son
found that he had inherited not only
his lands and wealth, but also his
title. AS the people had called his
father, so they called him-"Soft-
hearted Peter"
For some years young Peter lived
on the farm, happy as any king; his
fathers blessing seemed to lie on all
his undertakings, and men loved him
as they had loved old Peter.
At last young Peter decided to go
travelling 20 see the world. All the
neighbors assembled to bid him fare
well, and when he looked out of the
car window and saw men and women
and children waving their hats and
handkerchiefs the tears started to his
eyes and he felt an impulse to jump
off and remain among them. But just
then he noticed that a passenger OPP
poslte was looking at him with a
smile, so he settled back in his seat
ashamed for having shown his feelings
so plainly.
Before long the stranger looked at
Peter and said
Il see that this is your first journey,
sir"
Now there was no reason at all why
Peter should not be willing to admit
that he had never travelled before, but
somehow he hated to admit it, Besides,

was something about him that Peter
didn't like. So he answered sulkily.
Come, comet" said the stranger
Let us be friends We both have far
to go and we won't be any the more
uncomfortable if we furnish a little
company for each other.'

his sulkiness, could not we'll refuse

in his companions conversation, for

could tell of the Rocky Mountains and
the Himalayas and the South seas and
the ice. So when he proposed to Pc

They journeyed by railroad and ship
for many months. They saw great
cities and placid islands, wide plains
and defiant mountains. But most of all
they saw cities, for the stranger SEEM

he told his companion so. The great
cities are beautiful and wonderful +"
said Peter, but it grieves me to see
the poor who are crowded in them be-
hind all the splendor."
Il will tell you what is the matter
with you, Peter" said the stranger.
You are too soft-hearted. You waste
money every day on beggars and 9th

Little Jumbo
Or the Adventures of an Elephant as
Told by Himself.

When my mother was training me for
life in the forest she warned me never
to go to sleep during the day when l
was alone.
Elephants sleep by day as well as by
night. but whenever the natives, who
prowl in the forest only by day, find an
elephant asleep they seek to capture
him by tying his legs fast, and many
a one has thus been made prisoner.
The great animals do not always lie
down to sleep They often stand and
lean against tree. Nearly all the big
ones get their sleep in this way, as it
is much trouble for them to get down
and up again.
/ told you in my last chapter that 1

been badly bitten by a crocodile, and

Good reigned over the City of Bagdad;
and Moosa. the porter. waited for Gus
tom at a corner of his palace.
With old AIoosa his little son, Ahmed,
waited to run swiftly on errands which
required no carrying of heavy burdens.
Ahmed noticed that every morning two
men dressed in flowing robes came
along, turned down the side street, and
after knocking al a door in the wall
which guarded the Sultan's garden,
were admitted.
Much he wondered who the myster

About the hour of evening prayer the
two men would emerge from the gate
and talking earnestly together would
take their way to some obscure part of
the crowded city.
Much Ahmed longed to see beyond
the walls of the garden and to know
what hocus-pocus was taking place
within. One morning early, while yet
the mists of the river lay over Bag
dads shrines of fretted gold and high
walled gardens green and DID, the boy
saw the two magicianS hurrying TO-
ward the garden as usual, and, as they
passed him. he heard one say: "Will
nothing undo the spell?" To which the

of the day everything became so quiet
that l got sleepy.
1t did not seem to me that there
could be the least danger in my going
to sleep for a couple of hours, and L
finally closed my eyes and knew no
more till mid-afternoon.
Then l was awakened so suddenly
and by such great noise, that l was
terribly frightened I attempted to
scramble UP, but found my legs fast.
All around me were natives, shouting
and laughing, and as l struggled to
break my bonds and cried out in my
fright, a white man came up and called
out:

When the big elephant stood beside
me l asked him what was to be done,
and he replied:
How foolish in you to go to sleep
as you did. You will not be killed, but
you will be sent away to a far distant
country and never see these forests

That evening when the muezzin was
calling to prayer from the marble min
aret, which reared itself against the
western sky, Ahmed. watching the
gate. saw one man come forth and
hurry away instead of two, as usual.
Every day after that it was one ma
gician only who came and went.
Then rumors began to be noised
about of a great change which had
taken place in the disposition of the
Sultan. Before, he had been mild and
generous; now he became grasplng and
cruel. and things went ON from bad to
worse. until all Bagdad groaned under
his oppression.
Ahmed was certain that the change
in the Sultan was connected somehow
with the disappearance of the first
magician, and he noticed that the sec
ond magician no longer had to knock
at the garden gate. but carried a key
10 IL. and came and went at pleas

thought the boy, Il could discover
what the secret is and perhaps re-

One day the opportunity he longed
for came The magician in hurrying
away accidentally dropped the key to
the garden gate
Ahmed picked It up and ran home
with it. where he quickly took an inn
preston OF the key in wax and then
hurried back to his corner. Presently
he saw the magician coming back,
looking on the ground and apparently
searching for something. Ahmed had
dropped the key again close TO the
gate, and out Of the corner of his eye
he saw the magician pounce upon it
with joyful exclamation.
