What the Elephant Had.

Money is the root of all evil, they
say, and certainly it proved uncom-
Portable enough for Hattie, one Of the
elephants in the o at Central park,
New York. Hattie was punished for
the sin of covetousness. She limped
when she walked. and the keeper
thought that her corns must be hurt
ing her. he cut off the corns, but
Hattie still limped, and then he poked
about in her feet to find what was
wrong. He found several things-a
lot Of little pebbles. a good sized mar
BILE and a silver quarter. The coin
had made all the trouble. because it
had been wedged into a tender part Of
the foot.

and with an unrepressed love in his

long sleep that seemed to at all real.

could take no account of that.
She lay wondering how she had

her.
He sent every one out of the room

CHAPTER XVII.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOON

IhE OTHER Side OF THE MOON
NHE next thing that Lovelend
knew he was sitting in a bog,
which felt quite soft and COM
fortable-so comfortable that
he at first believed himself to be in
bed, waking out of a bad dream. Then
with a fash he remembered all that
had happened and scrambled up in a
cold sweat of fear for Lesley.
A cataract of sparks which show
cred before his eyes dimmed his sight
at first, out in a moment he saw a
slight gray clad figure lying on the
ground not far away.
Lesley" he cried. "Lesley!"
But she neither stirred nor an
swered.
y Down he dropped on both knees be-
side her and raised her upon his arm.
Her eyes were closed, and through
the chiffon veil he could see the long
iashes dark on the pallor Of her cheeks.
The ground where she lay was
spongy after a day Of heavy rain,
which had soaked through the thick
carpet Of dead grass deeply into the
earth The girls position was easy,
giving Loveland the hope that no
bones were broken, and there was no
stain Of blood On the white face or
the soft brown hair. But she lay
very still. There was no futter of
the eyelashes. no faint gasping for
breath.
Sick with fear that she might be
dead, Loveland's memory refused the
barrier between them. He was con-
scious only Of his love for her.
"Dearest-precious one-darling!' he
called her. For Gods sake. wake up!
Speak to me-only speak to me! Hove
you so!'
Instantly she opened her eyes wide,
Shivering a little in his arms, and look
ed up at him. half dazedly at first,
then smiling as u woman might who
has dreamed of a distant lover and
wakes to find him near.
"Thank God you're not dead!" he
stammered.
"And that you're not!'' she answered
family. ~"Iou-you're not much hurt?"
"Not at all. and If l were it wouldn't
matter" Loveland assured her ~fervent-
ly. IF only 1 hadn't let you drive or
if I hadn't talked to you! It's all my
fault. What shall I do if you're In
jured?"
"I-I'm all right and-and rather
happy" whispered Lesley. II don't
think anything's the matter at all. ex-
cept a little shock"
"Let me lift you up for a minute, so
that we can make sure whether you
are hurt" said Val. "I'll do it so gen.
tly''-
"No. I'd rather lie still, just as I
am" the girl answered.
would you be more comfortable If
I'1aid your head or the ground?"
"No; keep it IN your arm, please. I
like it there. l feel as If I'd been

dreamed that you-that you called me
your darling: that you said you loved

"Then it wasn't a dream?"
"No; it wasn't a DREAM" he con-
fessed. Gwen though you think me an
impostor you can't believe me a Who'll

The hazing of their fellow students
is happily becoming less and less frs
quent in American universities and
colleges, but the incident reported

that this form of barbarity is persist

nent of the hazed student was, ac-
cording to the acco UNITS. most afro
eious. Punishment will be meted out,
no ooubt, with severity if the perpe-
traitors can be identified. Every edu-
cational institution that is worthy of
the name does its utmost to prevent
such offenses, and Bucknell can be
trusted to apply the right discipline in
this case if it is possible to do it.
Hszing was more common when coli
leges We're fewer and smaller than
now, because public opinion looked on

hazing in some way benefits the per-
son hazed has passed away. No one is
benefited by being humiliated, out
ragged in his sensibilities and in some
cases even seriously injured in his
person The alleged sport is a survival
of a manifestation of the brutal and
cruel spirit which finds pleasure in
causing pain and satisfaction in an
othor's misery discomfort and annoy
