AZ Father Pippin was about to
thank the little squirrel for having
thus befriended them. the great door
swung open and the fresh night air
put out the light. leaving the room in
total darkness. and nowhere could
any Of the Pippins see the little squir-

To their surprise there was the VIII

the very front Of the main magis-

about In armour. Father Pippin
soon told his story, and within a few
minutes five well-armed men. all on
horses, were on their way to capture
the robbers. They met the band Of
highwaymen Just outside the forest,
and they were about to turn back to-
ward their own desert again when the
officers Of the law surrounded them. A
short conflict followed in which one
robber was killed and another wound
ed. The dead one was left by the
roadside as warning to other rob-
bers. The wounded and unwounded
were taken to the Jail in the village.
Then the officers Of the law went on
to Pippin's home, where the. family
had gone in advance. And there the

Then Jack, book under arm and

! Of the Pippin family-children and
ALL"
You may believe that the Pippina
were frightened for they feared
they'd be overtaken. thinking that the
light from the opening into which
they had sought hiding might shine
out and lead the robbers to them.
But it did not prove the case. The
robbers soon rode on, and Father Pip
pin continued to lead his family down
the lighted and narrow passage. After
some time they came to q door with
bolt. A little squirrel sat there, his
broad tail over his face. As Dame
Pippin-who was now in the lead
drew near she saw the squirrel. "Oh,
here Is our little friend who has come
in advance Of us"
Even as she spoke the little crea-
ture threw down his tail from before
his eyes and spoke in their language.
Eyes, l am the squirrel who opened
the tree for you to enter here. Now
you are very near to the village and
you may hurry to the towns officers
and tell them to go towards the forest
road and capture the robbers, for
they are still long way behind you.

other two robbers were fOund-Just
as the squirrel said they would be
fast asleep from over-eating ara
drinking In the cave. Father P1ppln
had a goats skin Of new wine. and
the robbers had drunk to their fill
Of 1t. They were made very i'll from
the new Wine and the old cheese and
the honey and the wheaton loaf they
found there. And for one day the
Pippin family went on short raiions.
for the robbers had devoured all their
bread and honey and cheese. But they
did not mind about that, for they
were happy to be we'll rid Of the
thieving band that had robbed them
so often. But never again would they
be so molested.
And in vain did Father P!pp!n and
his two sons make search for the lit
tie squirrel tina, had come to their
relief on that night. Every squirrel
they could see on a tree they would
call out to, but none ever replied
to them. And In vain did they make
search over the giant tree for the
great hole into which they had gone
on that night. It could not be found.
1T 10 not for VI to insist" said Dan.
THE squirrels know their desire. 1t
10 not for VI to try to make them
come forth and tell US. We owe them
our lives, mayhap."
And Father and Dame Pippin said:
Eyes. we owe the little squirrels our
safety and our home, at least"
And from that day no one ever
intruded himself in the forest where
the giant tree sheltered so many sQuir-
rels. The tree became known as the
Squirrel Stronghold. And no one ever
entered it again. And this IL the story
of thing that happened two thou
sand years ago, which may be true.
so far as anyone now living can say.
But 80 goes the strange story Of the
Squirrel and the Robbers.

Ghe Origin Of Money.

Greek coins have been of valuable as
s!stance to scholars in systematizing
Greek mythology.
Passion Of Greece was probably the
FIRST man to develop the idea Of lend
irs money at high rate Of interest.
Ho opened a house (that today would
be called a bank) at Athens where
money was loaned out on interest
with good security. He started this
business with a capital Of 50 talents
($b0.000). Later he established credit
for himself at all centres Of Greek
commerce.
Thus did the thanking" system
come into vogue, making commerce
between different nations possible,
and bringing about many rich indus
tries. Gold always remained the most
valuable metal. and silver was second
In value. Brass and copper always
appeared in the shape Of coins of
small value.

of, not looking back again, and think.
ing that Snap had returned to the
yard.
However, Snap had done no such
thing. He was keeping a safe dis
lance behind Laurence, trotting along
half-hidden by the tall grass and
weeds Of the roadside. When Lau-
renee drew near to the camp he did
| not observe q dark form sinking
from a bunch Of bushes that grew
near to the tent The form kept in
the shadow of bushes and saplings
which were covered with vines.
But Snap saw the form, and he
knew it to be one Of those creatures
forbidden to enter his masters yard.
But after having seen the tramp Snap
lost sight of him. Evidently the
tramp had seen Snap, and had taken
himself of to a safe distance.
Laurence entered the tent and put
the butter in a little tin pail which
he then carried to the spring near by.
He set the pail in the water to keep
tho butter cool. Having accomplished
this bit Of camp work he looked about
to see what else there was to do. AS
no work seemed necessary just then,
he decided to wander off into the
woods on an Exploring expedition"
After Laurence had departed from
the camp. Snap. who had kept a
watchful eye on him, came openly
to the tent and went inside it. After
satisfying himself that he could be
comfortable there he lay down in a
corner. Just what went through his
mind it Is not possible to say, but
he did not sleep. He seemed to be
waiting for something to happen.
And something did happen. too. And
1t happened pretty soon.
After Laurence had disappeared
into the woods, the same skulkins
form that had been. espied by Snap
in the bushes came into light again.

IRRELS AND THE PIPPIN FAMILY. S:

The sons wsre jacob. aged ten: Dan,

The Pippln family had hne homo
in q rich valley on tho borders OF q
wide desert. And rowing bands Of
thieves often came from tho desert
to steal sheep and cattle and grein.
They even went into Dame Pippin's
cave where she kept her cheese and
butter and cream and helped them
selves to these good things to eat.

Pippins could not endure these raids

seeing I'VE men creep In through the

to the cave for butter and cheese.
After the latter had gotten we'll into

The tramp again obeyed orders and

The tramp went off, looking behind
him every few seconds to make sure
Snap was not following. When he
was entirely out Of sight, Laurence
turned to Snap. Gay, old doggie,

You certainly held the Fort against

Pippin hurried into the house and told

set out. Father Pippin carrying little

Laurence, after thinking the matter

Laurence, after thinking the matter
over, had decided not to leave the
camp alone, and returned to it. He
came through the underbrush just as
Snap was about to make q leap for q
new hold on his victim. Laurence
saw and understood the situation. He
ran forward and called Snap off. The
dog didn't obey at first, but Laurence's
voice soon prevailed and he let 90 the
tramp's sleeve.
The culprit, once moro free, stood
looking mean. He knew he had been
caught in the very act Of thievery
for he still had a coat belonging to
Laurence over his free arm.
Come off, Snap" Laurence sur
veyed the man al the dog obeyed
him. He was an evil-looking fellow,
capable Of almost any meanness. And
at the moment Laurence felt glad
that Snap was there. The great hulk
ing tramp could soon overpower him
should he desire to do SO. and help
himself to whatever he wished Of the
camps possessions.
Snap stood growing menacingly,
and it required several sharp words
from Laurence to keep him off his
victim. The tramp remained silent,
but pitched Lau.ence's coat to the
ground.
"Pick it up and take 1t into the
tent" Laurence felt safe in making
the command for Snap would see that
his order was obeyed should he have
to call upon him.

Pippin could not speak for surprise.
But little Dan did not seem in the

thing.
