his two names, he was almost crazy,
and at last he lay down in the path,
too tired to move.
IT'S too bad" said little Bella; "he
loves them and he loves me, and he
don't know which way to 60"
Hey, boys" called the old gentle
man, as the boys shut the gate after
them, "where do you live?"
So they came back to tell him. and
when he heard that they were alone
in the big city, he cleared his throat
again.
Il need a couple of boys around
the place" he said, Ito tend to the
garden and to look after Bellas pony.
Would you like to stay?"
"Oh, would we?" cried the boys with
delight, "oh. would We? Well, l guess
we would"
"Oh, grandfather. how lovely" cried
little Bella, and, as if he understood,
the little dog stood on his head and
grinned upside down.
Dear Dandelion," said little Bella.
Dear Bundle" said Ted and Tony.
But the old gentleman laughed and
said:
You'd better say dear Bundelion,'
so he won't get mixed"
And Bundelion the little dog remain
ed to the end of the chapter.

ruffle and buttoned Bundle up in his
gay dress. with the little cap cooked
saucily over one ear.
Then Bundle made her a little bow
and pranCed out into the garden, and
when the boys saw the funny little
figure in the rufiied gown they shout
ed with laughter and Bundle danced
a cake-walk right in the Middle of
the stra wberry bed and stood on his
head, and came up with the cap hang
ing around his neck by one string.
Again the boys started on their jour
ney. Everywhere the little dog did his
pretty tricks, so the money came roll
ing in. and all went well until they
reached the city
There the boys FASTENED to the house
of their uncle and found to their dis
may that he had gone away with all
his family. and would not be back for
a month.
What shall we do?" said Ted. and
What shall we do?" asked Tony and
they were very sad; but Bundle danced
down the steps and stood on his head.
and Immediately a crowd of children
gathered around him and clapped their
hands
Across the street was a beautiful
house. and in the garden was a little
girl, with golden curls.
She heard the children laughing in
the street. so she came down the
path and poked her head over the
gate.
"Oh, what funny dog" said the
little girl.
At the sound Of her voice. the funny
dog dropped on all four feet and bolted
across the road, his cap on one side,
his pink Tuffles dragging in the dust.
He made straight for the gate and
leaped on it with joyful banks.
The little girl gave one close look at
his eager eyes and pointed ears, then
she gave a little cry, dropped her flow
ers, opened the gate, and the little dog
jumped into her arms.
Its my own Dandelion," cried the
little girl. ooh, Dandelion, dear, where
have you been?'
Just then Ted came across the street.
Is he your dog, little girl?" he ask
ed.
The little girl held on to the yellow
DandeliOn-B Bundle tightly.
"Oh, yes; he was lost" she answered
Where did you find him? Do come in
and tell me-"

AND THE LITTLE Doc JUMPED
STRAIGHT INTO HER ARMS

we get to the city we shall live with
our uncle. who is to give us work"
But the old woman looked at them
Grossly.
"Oh, go away" she cried. "it won't
hurt you to sleep in the fields"
The little dog was listening with
one ear cooked up, and scarcely had
the old woman finished talking when
he pranced in at the door and began
to dance madly over the clean floor.
He walked on his hind legs, he stood
on his head. and when at last he
dangled his front paws like the hands
of lady of fashion and galloped
across the room, the old woman sat
down and laughed until she cried.
Where did you get that dog?v she
asked the boys. Hes the funniest
thing in the country outside of "A
circus"
So they told her the story of the
Bouncing Bundle, and the old lady
listened very attentively.
why don't you let me make him
a dress and a cap" she said. land then
you go along, and you can pick up
quite lot of money
oh, would you really make them
for him?" asked the boys eagerly. and
the old woman laughed again
Indeed / WILL she said; land after
you nave had some supper we will
look over our patterns and pick out
the latest style" and then she laugh
ed again.
In the morning the boys cut the
old woman's wood and MIXED her
COW and weeded her garden. while the
old woman sewed and fitted things on

sat patiently at her side with his

fiercest, was adjudged to be the only
one strong enough, but it was feared
that even his strength could not pre-
vail against the King of Beasts.
So at last they determined that the
fox should meet him on his arrival
and see what he could accomplish by
wit and cunning. And if he failed the
bear was to enter the contest.
After a troublesome journey the
tiger reached the shore, and walking
in a little way from the coast en-
tered large forest.
The fox. who was watching from
under the brushwood, stepped forward
and welcomed him courteously.
I'VE have heard that you are called
the King of Beasts in your own land"
he said in a steady voice, but with
quaking heart.
Indeed / am" answered the tiger
i'm a voice that made the foX's hair
stand on end. mo animal can leap
so far. strike so hard, bite so deeply
or even run so fast as I can"
This gave the fox just the oppor-
tunity he wanted.
Il hope your Majesty will conde-
scend to race with me-" he said in
stantly.
Certainly. But you know the pen
atty if you fail?" LAUGHED the tiger.
Together they started and tore
through the forest the tiger ahead
and intent upon the race and the fox
keeping just behind him.
As he began to slacken. spent with
fatigue. the fox leaped lightly on his
back, and. bounding over his head.
came out in front and was declared
the winner.
Thus wit and cunning win in the
race with brute force and boasting.

THE ClVILIzING DATE PALM.
Curious Things About "A Useful Mem
her of the Plant Kingdom


OF all the plants in the world none
has had a greater influence on the his
tory of mankind than the date palm.
The oldest written history in existence
mentions it. and shows how even then
1t was almost a necessity of life in the
valleys of the Euphrates and Tigris
rivers; while as long ago as 1000 years
before the coming of Christ it was an
important food of the Egyptians
Without this plant it is possible that
the Desert of Sahara would have re-
manned an impossible barrier to the
march of nations until our own day,
for ii was only the food provided by
the date palm that enabled caravans to
penetrate the sandy wastes. Later on
1t was only the possibility of easy cul-
tivation of the date, palm in hot, dry
lands that enabled the Arabs and
Moors to establish colonies i'm the Sa-
haran GASES. and thus gradually to
form a chain of civilization stretching
across Africa.
the date palm is curious tree. It
thrives under the very conditions that
kill other plants. Put the date palm
into burning sands, where the winds
are shriveiing hot, and where the soil
is powder and full of salts and other
noXious material, and the date palm
WIZ III iiib III III dlInOu&n
any other plant would die almost at
once.
But with all this hardness, the date
palm has a mortal spot-like the heel
of Achilles-only in the tree it is in
just the opposite place, for it is in the
very top. There sits a bud, the ter
minal bud it is called. 1t is surround
ed by leaves to protect it, and as the
bark of the palm is composed of sharp
triangular scales. like the pointed pick
cts of a fence. it is fairly safe from at
tack. But If it is injured or destroyed
the palm must die. There is no hope
for 1t.
Another curious thing about the date
palm is that il never produces more
than twenty leaves a year. The Arabs
believe that every palm produces ex-
actly twelve, no more and no less. but
this is incorrect.
However twenty leaves, though it is
a small sum. represents quite a mass
of foliage in the case of the date palm.
for each leaf is from twelve to sixteen
feet long.
date palm that grows wild rarely
sheds these leaves, even after they die
and new ones have come out The
dead leaves merely bend downward and
form a great sheathing for the trunk;
so in few years such a palm stands
in regular thatch. which prevents
close approach.

The Story of the
Bouncing Bundle
BY TEMPLE BAILEY.
illustrated by Rosalie Arthur.


The bundle bounced along the road
before the astonished eyes of Ted and
Tony.
1t was a funny bundle. knobby all
around. and it rolled over and over,
and bounded up and down in a strange
and frightful manner.
What is it," asked Ted, and stared.
IT'S a dog" cried Tony. tied up
Ted caught it and cut the string VITA
his knife, and out sprang a little yell
low dog, a very beauty of a dog. with
stiff pointed ears and q delightful
it, and two beautiful brown eyes that
fairly seemed to talk.
Now what do you suppose he was
tied UP that way fOr2" wondered
Tony, as the small dog leaped around
them joyfully.
Some one wanted to get rid of him
Maybe it was a thief. Anyhow. they
were mean" said Ted Indignantly and
the little dog barked as if he under
stood.
But whatever the reason, the dog
was there, and a very wonderful dog
he proved to be.
But the boys did not find out how
very wonderful he was until late that
night. when they came to a little house
at the end of the village. There was
q bright light in the window and Tony
and Ted knocked at the door

presently a funny little old lady came
to the door and looked out
What do you want?" she asked.

city" explained Ted IF you will lodge

SO Ted and Tony went in and sat
down on the steps of the big house
and told of their adventures, and of
how they had found the little dog, and
when they had finished the little girl
brought out her grandfather and then
the boys told the story ali over again.
You are sure you didn't steal him p
asked .he old gentleman gruffiy, when
he had heard them; and the little girl
said: ooh, grandfather of course
they didn't" But Ted and Tony stood
up very straight, and then Ted said:
Il am sorry you could think that, sir"
and the old gentleman cleared his
throat and looked in the honest faces
and apologized:
you are all right" he said "And
now how about the reward?"
What reward?" asked both of the
boys together.
Didn't you know that I offered $50
for the return of the dog?" demanded
the old gentleman.

breathlessly.

Ted and Tony dropped down on the
steps. Fifty dollars! 1t was too won

But when the old gentleman gave
them the bills they looked sadly at
the little dog.

at last.

WHERE CHINESE STILL LEAD.
No Western Nations Have Been Able
to Make such Good India Ink.

NO AOAG
10 Make Such Good India Ink.
With all their modern improvements
and all their science. none of the ad-
vanced nations have been able to pro-
duce the equals of the Chinese and
japanese Iacquers or India inks. Chem
lists. ink manufacturers and artists
have tried for generations to discover
the secret that enables the Chinese,
with primitive processes, to produce
these materials in such perfect form
but the secrets still are secrets.
The manufacture of India" ink, IL
particular, has baff1ed all foreigners. /
is made in China to-day practically as
it was made four centuries ago when
Chen Hi Sonen invented the process.
The oil is pressed out of the seeds o.
d certain plant and then set to simmer,
while the workman adds a sixture o
powdered redwood. grated sandalwood
and seeds of almonds, and other flow
ers.
After the simmering is ended, the
result is filtered and set aside for
long time to settle. Then it is put into
a wick made out of a reed. A great
quantity of these little dishes are set
on bricks and over each is placed a
funnel-shaped clay cover. Then the
wicks are lit and the SCOT produced by
the burning mass is caught on its in
side.
This is so delicate an operation that
the Workmen watch the slightest
change in the weather, for a small diff
hi To-
difference in the quality of the SCOT
The finest SCOT is prepared in rooms
that are absolutely alright. If there
are any windows in them they are
covered with paper pasted over Them
so as to close every crack in the walls.
Every little while the workman
goes cautiously to a dish and dusts the
gathered SCOT off with a feather AL
though it is so soft and fine that it
will float in the air, it still is not fine
enough for the Cinnamon. They put
it through sleeves, and only after it
has passed through them is it consid-
cred fit for mixing with the liquid
material that turns it into India"
ink. Nobody outside of the Cinnamon
IN the secret knows what this liquid
substance is.
After it has been mixed, it is knead-
ed for many hours, and then ground

in water-bat so that there shall not
be the slightest change in the temper
ature.
Then the stuff is shaped into the
sticks that we know, and it is beaten
with little hammers until each stick
is perfect. After this the sticks are
placed into wooden forms to harden.
The forms have raised letters carved
on them, and these impress them
selves on the sticks, making the trade
marks which are familiar to all users
of India ink.
Even after the sticks are hard and
appear perfect, the Chinaman is not
satisfied. Each stick is wrapped with
fine silk paper and then they are laid
into a box. The spaces between them
are filled with ashes obtained from
rice straw. Every day the ashes are
taken out and new ashes put in, until
every bit of moisture has been ex-
tracted. Then the sticks are I'M
wrapped again, brushed, rubbed and
finally polished with a polisher made
of agate.
After that the India ink is consid-
cred ready for the market.

why CaterpiIIarS Cause Itching.

All boys know that the common
fat, brown caterpillar will make their
hands itch if they handle it much.
Most people think that this is due to
the juice which this caterpillar pours
from his jaws when he is touched.
But this is incorrect.
The hairs of the brown caterpillar,
which is the caterpillar of the brown
tail moth, are full of tiny barbs so
extremely small that they are quite
invisible. The barbs catch in the hui
man skin and break off. This causes
the skin to itch enough to lead the
person to scratch. Inflammation fol-
