Alonzo did this he also did something
else his master one day discovered
He marked pieces of linen with letters
and designs. A ring which he had
found one day upon the shore served
as stamp for these designs, but what
attracted the attention of Alonzo's
master was that they were made in
color not then known-the color
purple.
The master inquired how this color
had been obtained.
Alonzo could not explain any better
than by showing how it was. done. He
dropped the ring into the Shiny matter
of shell fish. The mantle of this
creature had been torn in some way
and the Shiny matter was oozing from
it. This made marks on the linen
which, when dried by the sun, turned
into purple. This color was adopted
by the king of the country where
Alonzo lived as the color of royalty,
and has thus remained to this day.

One morning early in 1909 an old
pioneer emerged from his log cabin.
Before him stretched the Atlantic
ocean and behind him the high office
buildings of New York and Phila-

westering sun. Suddenly from the
waves there appeared three big round
heads Long tusks protruded from
the jaws.
"Walrusl" exclaimed he, "as sure
as Napoleon was licked at Waterloo!"
as the brutes galloped up the beach
toward him.
He fastened into his cabin, seized
his gun and fired seven shots as fast
as he could pull the trigger. The
three great beasts leaped at him and
one almost managed to seize him
with its sharp talons, but the steel
clad bullets had been aimed well,
and just in the nick of time the ami
NAL fell dead.
