Horses That Need No Drivers.

Horses, marching sedately and with

end of block to tho other, receiving a
load of concrete at one end, turning
without an order and drawing the load
to the other end of the block, where 1t
was needed for street-repairing work,
kept a crowd constantly on the watch In
Ridgeway Avenue near West Goth Street.
The street was being repaved at that
point and half a dozen OF these self-driven
horses were at work for several days.
They were gray old codgers, most OF
them, aud their intelligence was the re-
suit of many years of work. In the mid
die OF the street, halfway between the
point where tho dumping carts were
loaded, and where the paving was going
on, stood q man who kept the line going
up one side of the street and down the
other with . few words to each horse as
it went by.

PHILIP SIGHTED THE LAND or HIS QUEST.
ly from the troubled sea and heard,
like the thunder Of distant storm, the
roaring Of the dragons that guarded
the jewel. Nothing daunted. Philip
pursued his way and soon perceived
on all sides Of him the wrecks OF strong
ships that had sailed in those perilous
waters. Soon he discovered the cause
Of the wreckage. AS he came nearer
magic wind descended from the
mountain tore his strong sail to pieces.
broke the mast and drove him away
toward the open sea.
But Philip was not daunted. Seeing
his vessel was doomed, he plunged
bravely into the waves and struck out
for the shore. BY resting occasionally
on pieces Of floating driftwood be was
able to reach the shore at the foot OF
the mountain, where he sank exhaust
ed on Il narrow strip Of sand. When
his strength returned he arose and con-
suited his magic book. which was still
In his pocket. He found that the book.
rs well as his garments. was extreme
| Is wet, and so he collected bits OF
driftwood and with the aid OF Hint
and steel built fire.
No sooner had the fire started than
with Il terrific crash the mountain ex-
ploded, and the seven dragons VINO
had been crouching around the crater
ut the top Of the mountain were thrown
50 far out to sea that they took seven
years to reach the shore again.
Philip was nightly astonished to
see fiat plain where Il mountain had
stood two minutes before. but what
was his Joy when he saw In the middle
of the plain bright and glittering
Jewel. Without hesitation he ran FOR
ward and seized 1t. Then he knew that
he was safe and the people were safe.
for with this magic jewel he would be
able to do whatever he wished. FIRST
he caused his deserted vessel to move
to the shore. and In n fash he refur-
bIshed her with new sails and set out
for his own country.
No sooner had he landed. bearing
the Jewel. than the murmurs OF discon-
tent rose to shout Of triumph. On
all sides the people left their work aud
Joined In the great crowds that moved
toward the palace Of the wicked king.
Seeing the approach Of this vast mul-
titude, the king was greatly alarmed.
but when his magic wand tore Itself
from his grasp and flew away Mt the
bidding of the jewel he was so over
come with terror that he fled from the
palace.
What became Of him nobody ever
knew or cared, for Philip was imme-
tately proclaimed king. The first
h,ing he did was to shut up the magic
level and the magic wand so that
they could be used only In time or
great danger.

QUEST OF THE
MAGIC JEWEL.

Once in the dim, faroff long ago there
lived in a mighty castle king whose
wickedness was so great that the peo-
pie Of his land never breathed his name
for fear and horror Yet, although he
was greatly hated, he held his throne,
but 1t was only by the aid Of a magic
wand that he had stolen from an en-
chantress.
Now, though they murmured, the peo-
pie were helpless till at last youth,
Philip by name. arose in the land and,
seeing the misery Of the people, deter
tanned, as many had done before him,
to save the country or die attempting
the feat. Philip felt that he must fight
magic with magic and accordingly set
about the study Of its mysteries, but
he found that the wicked king had
had all the magic books burned and all
the witches and sorcerers shut up In
dungeons. So the youth. finding that
he could not learn magic In his own
land. set out for far country, where
he delved and dug In magic day after
day and far into the night.
At last Philip came upon page that
told Of IL magic jewel hidden In the
heart Of great mountain by the sea
and guarded by seven strong and ter
rible dragons that never slept This
stone and this only was possessed OF
greater magic power than the kings
wand; therefore this stone the youth
sought.
After diliecnt search he Was able to
discover where the island lay. lie
bought boat. provisioned it with high
courage and hope and such supplies
as he might need and set sail across
the blue water.
After many days Philip sighted the
land Of his quest He saw tall. white
