Pretty soon the two boys returned to
the picnic ground, accompanied by q great,
burly farmland, who grinned and said,
doffing his straw hat to Mrs. Thomas:
Sure. he's an ugly looking divil. mum,
but he wouldn't hurt you. II you'd run at
him with a stick he'd take to his heels
and break his neck p'raps to git away; but
III be glad to oblege you by leadin' him
further up river" So saying, the grinning
farmland took hold Of the rope which was
tied about the BULBS horns and Led him
peaeeably away. When he had been tied a
safe distance from the picnic ground Mrs,
Thomas said; Now. children. Wen finish
our interrupted luncheon. Let me see

In unison Yes, at the cherry pie" muir

was SO terribly afraid that the bull might
get to It and eat 1t up. I wasn't afraid
for ourselves, but for the piel You see,
mamma got an extra big tin TO bake this
pie in, and II holds a quart Of pitted cher
ries. SO, you see. it's a very fine pie"
We'll. Wen render our verdict as to
its excellence after we've tasted it," de-
ciared jolly Harry. Now. mamma, please
carve the cherry pie"
Amidst laughter and good cheer Mrs.
Thomas cut into many pieces the cherry
pie, which all pronounced most delicious"
Then the rest of the afternoon was spent
in gathering wild flowers TO carry TO the
sick children who could not come to the
picnic, and when the time came for going
home each declared he or she had en-
joyed every minute OF the time at the
ylcnic.
Why during the few minutes Of Mr..

one of the big boys. we felt that we

As soon as they got there stAnlsy's

After they had been In the water about

flew to the land for safety. The wind
added its shrieking and bowling to the
moaning Of the ocean in the rocky caves
on the shore.
Bah. what a bad night I hadl' said the
sun to the Great Spirit, who came to take
him swiftly to the west to begin his east
ward journey.
1T will be better tonight" said the Great
Spirit.
But IL was not better that night. When
morning came the sun hid its face in tho
clouds and refused to shine. The next
night the great storm waves of the At
lantic rose higher than ever before and
the wind dashed the sea in its fury. The
next day the sun hid itself altogether, and
darkness was again over all the land.
The Great Spirit saw that something
must be done.
II will start you from the east" he told
the sun, and II you shine brightly you may
try sleeping in the west.
So the sun shone brightly as it Travelled
westward and all the earth welcomed 1t
joyously. In the evening it sank to rest in
the calm waters Of the peaceful ocean,. and
as the eautiful crimson light faded, was
lulled to sleep by the lap. lap OF the waves
on the beach and the gentle signing of the
wind.
So ever after the sun has Travelled from
east to west, and rests after it's labors in
the quiet tranquil waters Of the Pacific.

An Indian Legend.
BY Helen Miller. Aged IA Years, Fairmont,
Neb. Blue Side.

BY Helen Miller, Aged "a Years, Fairmont,
Neb. Blue Side.
The Great Spirit viewed his work with
pride. The plains, the mountains, the
rivers and the forests in which were deer
for the red mans food, and the redman
himself, he was the greatest work, and to
him the Great Spirit gave possession OF
all he had made.
But one thing was lacking. This beauti-
full country the birds. flowers and trees
could not be seen, for there was a great
darkness over all the land.
So the Great Spirit made the sun, which
was to give light to the earth. When 1t
was done he started It on its journey from
the wide prairie of the west to the great
mountains and rivers of the east.
Higher and higher rose the sun, lighting
the path where 1t went. Straight east,
through the clear blue sky It raveled over
the great rivers. The trees and flowers
welcomed him gladly and put on gay
colors. The birds sang in the forests. The
sun kissed the maize, the redman had
planted turning some OF It a beautiful red
and some a golden yellow. 1t shone
brightly down on the trees and the little
children played in the warm light. Its rays
darted down through the rustlinE leaves
of the trees on the river banks, and dotted
the streams with specks of brightness. The
redman padded about in his canoe, safe,
because of the light.
So the sun went on, ever towards the
east. leaving beauty and happiness in its
path. 1t was nearly time for the daily rest
which the Great Spirit promised the sun.
and the crimson ball sank lower, hunting
for a place where 1t might sleep. Over
towards the east stretched the great ocean,
known to us as the Atlantic.
Here you will rest came the voice OF
the Great Spirit, and the sun sank into tho
ocean and the rosy light died out Of the
sky and darkness fell.
The great waves rolled in towards the
shore and the sea was very rough. Dark
clouds gathered overhead and great birds

to getting inside the closed vehicle as soon
as the animal showed any signs of visiting
the picnic grounds.
After five minutes spent thus the bun
decided to come TO the front, and Mrs.
Thomas got inside the wagon. Her only
uneasiness now was on the two horses
account. They had been tethered some
distance down the river-peThaps a quarter
Of a mile from the picnic ~grove-where
there was plenty of fresh. green grass for
them to feed upon, and a spring stream
trickling across the meadow from which
they might refresh themselves whenever
thirst prompted them to do so. But Mrs.
Thomas feared the bull might wander in
their direction and, seeing them. AXE It
into his ugly head to gore them. for their
ropes held them fast to within a space Of
twenty feet
Out of the bushes came Mr.. Bull. walking
calmly TOWARD the picnic spread. Mrs.
Thomas kept her eye on him, looking from
under the cover at the front Of the
wagonette. and the boys in their perches
also kept tab on Mr.. Bulls actions. Forth
he came. about fifty feet into the grove,
and then suddenly stopped and shook his
head. Then he tried advancing a little
- liz u 9OAASAhlh8 ANAu AAAhl III tAlCths
Mrs. Thomas discovered Immediately what
that something was. 1t was a rope around
the bulls horns and was evidently a Ions
lariat, the other end either being fastened
to an iron picket driven into the ground
or tied securely to a tree trunk. I'VE are
safe, children!" called out Mrs. Thomas.
''The bull is fastened TO a lariat and can
not come within fifty feet OF our camp;
but all stay where you are till investi-
gate" So saying, Mrs. Thomas got out
of the wagonette and went over to within
a few feet OF the tied animal. He did not
seem TO relish her approach and shook his
head, paved the earth. beloved and
showed his rage. but the rope was secure
and strong and kept him from making
further advancement toward Mrs. Thomas.
"Ah, old fellow, how angry and unso-
ciable you are" said Mrs. Thomas. But
that rope Of yours is very strong. That is
what 1 wanted to know. / guess you won't
be able TO bother US, but It is just as we'll
for US to move our camp"
Then the children were allowed to come
TO earth and two OF the boys offered to
run TO a farm house, about a quarter OF
q mile from the grove. and to ask II this
animal belonged 10 the farmer living
there and II so to ask II some farmland
might come and move the bull a little
farther from the picnic ground. Mrs.
Thomas thought this a good idea, and
Harry and Georgia Grey hurried off toward
the farm house,
