off
That was the last disturbance of the
night.
When daylight had fully dawned Joe
and Dan stepped forth from their shell
ter and went down to the creek for a
drink. Then they sat down on a log
and Joe said;
There has been no barking of dogs
or Growing of ROSTERS, and L am sure
we are far in the woods. The bark of
our own dog could be heard two miles
on such u still morning as this. When
we started to follow the first bee we
went to the west. How we got off the
turned to the south. We know there
are no settlers in that direction for
many miles. We have got all turned
around, but if We do not get scared I
think we will come out all right. We
have matches to build a FIRE, but how
shall We get something to eat?"
The question was soon answered. AS
they sat there a strange dog came
trOtting through the woods and
stopped at their feet and made friends
with them.
The boys knew every dog for three
or four miles around their fathers
never seen this one before. He was
part hound, and the only way they
could figure it out was that he be-
lOnged to some hunter in the woods.
They stood on the log and shouted
at the top of their voices, hoping to
hear a human voice in answer, but
none came. Their shouts started a rab-
bit from thicket, and no sooner had
Bunny started to run away than the

AMATEUR ARCHITECTS OF TIN
KLETOWN.
How They Built a Great Town Hall
and the Grand Dukes Advice.

How They Built a Great Town Hall
and the Grand Dukes Advice.
One day the Grand Duke of Brat
wurst said to the people of Tinkle-
town:
4 am surprised that wise folk like
you have not seen fit to build fine
town hall where you could meet and
say your wise things in state"
That is very good idea said the
people. I'VE win build the finest town
hall that ever was, and we will do it
all ourselves instead of letting some
foolish architect come in and build
something that is wrong"
So the citizens selected the best place
in the middle of the town, and as this
was occupied by the burgomaster'S
house, they Immediately brought ham
mers and crOwbars and began to tear
the house down. But instead of be-
ginning at the top, they began at the
bottom, and before long the house
commenced to shake and they all had
to run away.
AS the greater part Of the walls near
the bottom had been torn and broken
away, the house was very lottery in
deed-so lottery that nobody dared GO
near it; so after few days the people
sent a messenger to the Grand Duke
and told him that they could not go
ahead with the great project because
the burgomaster's house was too
shaky to tear down.

glad to see the wise things that the

so he watched his chance, and while
1 kept the beast at bay he let himself
shoot to the surface. He was almost
clear, when the stingaree swept its tail
the waist.
In a moment the water was dark
ened with blood like a red cloud, and
saw my brothers body dimly as it
sank down into the corals. By this
time it was nip and tuck with me my
self. I struck out along the bottom
to clear the Staingaree, and then went
for the surface like a fash. Scarcely
had I filed my lungs with air-and it
tasted sweeter than anything I'd ever
tasted-befOre the beast came wal
lowing at me, swapping its tail from
side to side and throwing itself around
in the sea to get within range of me
II dived again and managed to
evade it. Then struck down to
where my brothers body lay. The
blood was still pouring from his waist,
and it was a terrible thing to see down
there under water. for the stingaree's
thorn had torn cash at least two feet
long and half as deep as his body. I
seized him and reached the surface
with him, but he was dead, of course.
'As soon as I reached the top the
stingaree came at me again. This
time however, it was clumsy in turn
ing, and presented one of its great
winglize fins, which look so much like
the wings of a vampire. I drove the
knife straight in where the wing Joined

beast Immediately jumped clean out Of

ually, rode to the town, and when he
saw what had happened he said:
why did you not begin at the top
Of the house %
What a genius you are!" said the
burgomaster admiringly What would
we do without your Royal Highness? %
So all the citizens climbed up on
the roof and tore the house down
without any further trouble.
Then they began to consider what
kind of a town hall they should build
The shoemaker thought that it should
look like a Greek temple and be all
made of white stone, but the school
master said that it ought to be Of
brown stone and be shaped like a
good view from the top. The burgo-
master said that it should be a wooden
building and the town clerk maintained
that there was nothing more beautiful
than an old-fashioned cottage effect
with a matched roof. AS they could
not agree. they decided that each man
should build his part Of the town hail
just as he thought best, and when they
told the Grand Duke about it he
laughed till his fat sides shook and
said that they were very wise indeed
So the shoemaker began to build his
part like a Greek temple and the
schoolmaster made his part like q

with the AK were quickly dragged aside

savageness OF the survivors seemed to
be blunted by the meal.
They hung about for time, licking
their chops and growing, but all at

EnectnaIitn of &c.

Prayer is an instructive outgoing Of
the soul to God and brings man into
relationship with the infinite. Men of
all ages have been impelled to pray.
In the researches Of Egypt and Baby
Ion mummies and cylinders laid away
centuries ago contain evidences of the
tendency of man to prayer. It is an
essential communion with God, not
simply a beseeching or begging. If a
man was to say that prayer is unprofit-
able because of no outward benefit de-
rived therefrom he would be mistaken.
because no true, earnest, persevering
prayer has ever been offered to the
throne of God in vain, but fits the
praying man for the performance of
life's duties.-Rev. DR.. John Douglass,

Life.
By Captain A. B. Hawser.
Cruising of the northern coast OF
Hayd one day in an English trading
brig I suddenly saw a hideOuss mis-
ahapen creature floating deep below our
keel. 1t looked like a winged mon
Gter with a cOWled head and a long.
pointed tail, and in size it appeared to
be at least ten feet wide and about
9Wice as long.
An at once 1t rose to the surface and
began to play in the swell Then we
realized that it was even bigger than
Sc had seemed. The brig forged slowly
along till she was almost on top of the
creature, when suddenly a harpOon
shot out from the bows, and the next
moment the monster was wallowing
and leaping in pain, with the long iron
sticking out of his back.
The man who had thrown the har-
poOn was second mate of the brig, and
6 native of Fortune Island, and his
face was full of hate as he tried to
haul in on the rope.
Gradually the monster came in, un-
Cl the man could reach it with a long
lance that had a blade as sharp as a
razor, and with this he stabbed it fur
l0usly until he killed it.
1t was a stingaree-the most dan
RerOus form of the great fiat fish known
ais rays. The stingaree is feared
throughout the tropics because of the
immense KEEN barbed thorn that It
carries in its long tail. The tropical
fishermen all believe that this thorn is
as poisonous as the fangs Of a snake
and as the stingaree can lash his long
sail around with incredible swiftness
and certainty of aim, few men dare to
approach living specimen even when
1t is hauled up on land.
After had examined the stingaree
that the mate had killed and carved
out its thorn, which was fully twelve
inches long, the man said to me:
whenever I see one of them brutes
I simply have to butcher him. I hate
'em like poison, and with good reason
for stingaree killed my brother and

Uncle John look up from his evening
paper and strain his ear to listen.

soon there was a snap like a breaking

he halted by the end of the row Of APP

Uncle John crouched down near his
pet pippin tree, and peered under the

out a shadow, not three trees away.
