young rascal lesson fo' once in his
life, maybe dat would cure his laize-
ness"
So Joe got on old Darby and leading
Joan he started for home.
After he had been gone about an
hour Rastus came to the shop. He
had large scratch on his cheek and
his waist was torn. He had evidently
been in a fight. He asked if Joe was
there and when he found the man was
gone he started for home. He got
along all right till he reached the wood
and as it was beginning to get dark
Misery was frightened as well as he.
But Rastus determined to go home at
any rate. So he started out, but he
thought he saw all kinds of 'bogy-
men" peeping from behind trees and
once he thought he saw a large animal
pass across his path.
Misery whined occasionally, but at
last Rastus saw the lights of the plan
tation. He hurried forward and was
overjoyed to find the gate unlocked so
he might get in. He rushed into the
kitchen and almost made his nanny
overturn a pan of biscuits. When she
saw it was Rastus, she gathered him
into her arms and gave him two re-
sounding kisses as she exclaimed:
'I was dat glad to see yo, chile,
could eat yo'."

after conversation-rather excited
Dick thought-with, passing acquaint-
ance, they wrapped up the remainder oil
the lunch and started on.
Now Dick was a smart lad for his
| years, and, as we have already seen,
had quite a will of his own. Hence
he deliberately sat himself down, took
out his map and soon found, as he had
! guessed, that the path he was on was
the right one.

Caracas tonight or in week. I'm

When he made knownsthis decision to
the guide the latter began longer
harangue which, aided by his signs
told Dick that there was something
worth going for on the eastern trail.

they came to, the guide indicating by
sundry fiourishes and 5 gesticulations

not at all afraid of losing his way,

He had hardly gone mile, however,

commotion just around a sharp bend.

trampled upon by a runaway pack

trail. Presently a. whole train came
in sight, galloping furiously, some with

any more observations, Dick fired hair
a dozen more shots as quickly as he
could load and take aim. Then he
stood up; the tiger evidently was dead.

vanced until he stood over the lifeless

examine its wounds.

with the mules, followed in the rear.
After half an hours climbing they
dismounted in forest ravine-the most
beautiful forest, thought Dick, that ne
had ever seen-and after watering tine
animals in a tiny stream Juan gave
them in charge of the boy.
Dick noticed that the guide carried a

perhaps, three thousand feet and had
eaten their "almuerzo," or forenoon
meal, Dick lay down to rest, but Juan
evidently had other intentions First
he cleaned his rifle and charged it; then
motioning to Dick to do the same, he
began a careful scrutiny of the hillsides
near by. Dick spying an eagle lighting
upon a tree pointed it out, but Juan
only shrugged his shoulders.
There's evidently some game to be

Late that afternoon, Miss Randall,
who was comfortably settled at the
Altagracia hotel, happened to overhear
the proprietor talking to a newly ar
rived guest.
"They say there hasn't been a tiger
in the mountains for ten years." he re-
marked, "but this one is making up
for lost time"
HAS it killed any one?"
Eyes, two children and number of
donkeys and goats"
Miss Randall was on her feet in a
moment. do you say there's wild
tiger in the mountains?" she gasped.

out to kill it, and also has offered 500

But Dick-hes coming over the
And the poor lady sank into chair
almost beside herself with fear.
"Well ma am" said the proprietor,
"your niece says he has good guide
and is armed-I'm sure he is SAFE"
"Oh L must go and see," said Miss
Randall. Cant you get me some
armed men at once?"
There's no need of that, ma'am;
but I'll order a coach and we can drive
to the foot of the mountain. There
we'll probably find some of the soldiers.
It's long drive, but I'll order the best
horses in the city,"
l"Oh, thank you," murmured poor
aunt Phyllis as she hurriedly put on this
hat that Mary had brought her.
few minutes later they set out,
and in little more than an hour had
reached the foot of the trail. Sure
enough they found soldier stationed
there who told them that a squad of
twenty-five men had gone into the
mountains two hours ago.
"But 1 think / heard bugle call a

Just as he spoke they saw a body Of
men moving down the hillside, and in
a few minutes, though 1t seemed ages
to poor Miss Randall, they emerged
from the forest.
There he is-oh. Dick!" shouted
Aunt Phyllis and Mary in chorus.

strapped over the donkey's back,

LOST ON THE PRAIRIE
BY Terese DeLany-Class A-Aged
Thirteen Years

IHITLCCH CdIS
One day a party of laborers had just
finished their work when a violent
snowstorm came on. They set out for
their camp, which was in large
grove on an extensive prairie nearly
twenty miles distant from any
other timber land. The wind blew
very hard and the snow was falling
so fast that they could scarcely see
one another.
When they thought that they had
nearly reached their camp they sud-
denly noticed marks of footsteps in
the snow. On examining these with
care they found to their surprise that
they were their own tracks. 1t was
now plain that they were lost on the
great prairie.
While the whole party stood shiver-
ing with cold, at a loss what to do, one
of the party caught sight of particu-
lar horse they knew by the name of
Old Jack.
IF any one can, he can show us the
way back. Old Jack can do it. 1 will
take off his bride and let him loose
and we will follow him." exclaimed one
of the men.
The horse was no sooner free than
he threw up his head and his tail, as
If proud Of his task. All the men fol-
lowed him and Old Jack brought them
home safe.

RASTUS
BY Myma TayIor-CIass B-Aged
Twelve Years

Rastus was little black, kinky-
wooled negro boy He was his masters
chore boy, and very poor chore boy
he was wont to be. He was known to
stop and play marbles with some of
the other plantation boys or to get into
his mammy's storeroom and eat till his
little beltband threatened to burst its
buttonhole. On such occasions he was
always punished by his nanny.
Now Rastus had a dog Well, it may
have been called common cur, but
whether it was a cur or not Rastus
loved him with all his heart. Rastus
named his dog Misery when he was
first taken to heart because he was
blind in one eye and lame in his left
front foot but what if he was lame,
wasn't he Rastus' only friend after the
boy was punished? For when Rastus
was punished Suse would call him a
rascal and the plantation boys would
call him "coon" or "nigger."
If he loitered along the way when
sent on an errand the lad was always
punished almost enough by the scold-
ing he got from "Massa" when he did
get back. At last his master felt he
must cure this one fault by giving
Rastus different punishment than he
usually had.
One day the little negro was sent
with Joe, the coachman, to have the
horses shod. Joe rode Darby and Ras-
tus rode Joan, while Misery ran along
at their side. A funny looking lot they
were. There was Rastus perched upon
fat old Joan. who, every step she took
jolted him up into the air, and dignified
old Joe, seated on Darby with little
Misery hopping along beside them.
On their way they had to pass
through a deep wood with only trail
to follow. When they got to the shop
Joe took the horses to be shod and
Rastus wandered off to play marbles
with the other boys. After the smith
had shod the horses and Joe looked
around for Rastus neither he nor Mis-
cry were to be found, so Joe said: Nov
