The elephant was beginning to
move. Slowly. cumbersomely, like the
heavy body that it was, the great
mass of flesh began to get under way,
and in a moment the two upon tie

the starry sky. Save for a scurryinS

The girl kept tight hold Of the
exultant youth, although the broad
back and gentle motion OF the now
rapidly moving Bess were not calcu-

the damsel. Her hands convulsively
gripped the youths arm. Erickson was
not frightened. He was hilariously
happy.
From behind them came hoarse
shouts, and the elephant. hearing,
quickened his pace. Had Erickson
been a solitary rider, he would have
slid to the ground, but now he was
pleasantly impressed with a sense Of
guardianship.
Keep up your nerve" came from
the young attorney. 1.-THE elephant Is
running away with us, but he is not
dangerous. We are safe enough. The
keepers and circus men are trying to
catch US"
Suddenly the beast plunged of the
moon-lit road and into lane, slowing
up and stopping as it came to tall
tree. The sensitive trunk cautiously
rose to investigate the .ower branches,
and then, with despairing squeal, a
long-tailed spider-monkey was brought
from sheltering clump of leaves, and
passed carefully back and into the
very hands Of Erickson.
The lawyer laughed.
20, how sweet" ventured the girl,
| her fear suddenly gone. And how do
you suppose the elephant knew ne

I'm sure don't know. It seems to
now going back"
Sure enough. the great beast was
now retracing her footsteps.
In few minutes she had come to
the pack that had been following her.
With the sang froid Of calculating
human, the animal reached careful
trunk around and placed her passen-
gers. one at time, on the ground.
Then the same impressable organ re-
lieved Erickson of his chattering
charge, and without waiting for her
escort the elephant ambled on, turn.

1t developed that the tiger was still
a captive. The panic had been started
by some mischief maker. but the rush
ing, scrambling crowd had alarmed
the animals, and the monkey cage had
been overturned by the crazy exit of
| the masses. The little simian rescued
by the big pachyderm had been an es-
| pectal pet of the trainer having Bess
in charge. How she knew the monkey
was hidden in the tree, no one knew.

turned to Erickson. II am sure that I

Old Men In Responsibility.

The American business system.
which gives mere boys responsible po-
sitions before they have acquired prac-
teal experience, is to an Englishman
quite unaccountable. He wonders
whether it does not cause reckless

countries they prefer to keep elderly
men in responsible positions because
they can be depended upon. Messrs.

A tinkling cadence of girlish laugh
ter from behind the youth again
caused the cratic heart vibrations in
his breast, responsive to only one
maid. and Erickson turned. His face
flushed as he gazed at her. She was
with an elderly person-evidently her
father. Her nearness caused the youth
to fear for himself. It seemed to him
that he must turn and crush her in
his arms.

The elephant graciously accepted an

to wink knowing eye at Erickson,
who glared enviously.

New Underwear.

Underwear Of cotton crepe is a nev
fad that probably will become popu-
lar, especially as summer advances.
1t is not the crinkly kind that ons
associates with the name of cotton
crepe, but a softer fabric.
For travelling or for wear in places
where laundry facilities are limited
such underwear should prove a boou,
because neither starch nor ironing is
necessary.
A garment may be washed, hung to
dry, and after being well shaken is
ready to wear again.

one of them attempted to spear a gun

They Say You
Can Feel 1t Heal
fFrom the American Drug Reporter)

(From the American Drug Reporter)
Eczema on the head and scalp is
common occurrence of most common
disease, and it is to be regretted that
most remedies for eczema which pro-
duce cures when other parts OF the
body are affected fail to give good re-
suits when used for eczema on the head.
The new drug quintone is different
from other eczema cures offered 10 the
public, for it proves an excellent rem
edy for all forms of salt rheum, letter
ringworm, psoriasis and similar skin
diseases, and purchasers report they
''can feel it heal" eczema on the scalp.
AS eczema on the scalp causes annoy
ing itching, dandruff and falling hair,
the sales of quintone are rapidly in
creasing, and it is probably the most
popular "home treatment" known. All
that is necessary is to dissolve two
ounces of quintone in half pint of hot
water and let cool. For eczema on the
head rub quintone well into the scalp
with the finger tips. For eczema else
where a cloth saturated with quintone
lotion is ajjlied to the affected surface.
Quintone stops the itching at once.
