THE sToRKs LONG LEGS.

~ + course, you know what long
legs the stork has. and OF how
~ he will pull one up until II is
almost out of sight, and stand
on the other for ever so long. But
storhs did not always have long legs,
hecause once on a time they were
short. In fact, they were so short
they were like duck legs.
way back yonder, ever SO many years
ago, there was a fairy named Dimple
Dot who was the messenger for the
Fairy Queen. Whenever the Fairy
Queen wanted anything at all she
would send for Dimple Dot and tell her
to go and get it Usually, when Dimple
Dot had to get anything in a hurry she
would climb up on the storks back and
make him run just as hard as ever he
could
one day the Fairy queen sent Dimple
Dot to the store after some strawberry
Ice cream. IT was a very hot day and
the Fairy Queen was tired and hungry
"Dinple Dot" she told her messenger,
hurry with that ice cream.
So Dimple Dot called the stork and
climbed on his back. Hurry" she told
him, for the Queen is waiting"
The stork started down the road to
the store, just as fast as the short little
ducklike legs would take him. Pretty
Dot went In, got the ice cream and
then mounted the stork's back again.
The stork started back home as fast
as he could go and pretty soon they
reached the castle. Dimple Dot took the
ice cream to the Fairy Queen, who
opened IL in hurry. And there, like a
pink pond, was the ice cream all
melted
OF course. the Queen was very. vexed
and scoldcd Dimple Dot. Then she told
her to go right back and get some more,
When she brought II to the Fairy Queen
1t was all melted just like the other had
been.
"The idea" exclaimed the Fairy
Queen. THE idea"
Poor Dimple Dot did not know what
TO say or do, but just stood there cry

Queen to a page.
When the stork came in and found
out what was the matter he began to
cry, too.
stop 1t this instant" the Queen told
the little fairy and the stork Some
thing must be done and done quick"
But WHAT" walled both the fairy
and the stork.
Send for the head bull frog" snapped
the Queen to her page again.
Now this ud frog was very wise. and
whenever the Queen wanted to find out
about things she sent for him. SO when
he came in she told him all about the
melted ice cream and how hot and tired
she was and of how she wanted 1t.

how she wanted 1t, and what the old
hull frog had sail.
Very good, said the general. and he
started toward the stork.
The stor!S started to run. but tha
army so',H stopped that. And the 1rst
thing that he knew he was fat on the
palace ioor with half the army pulling
one leg ana the other half pulling the
other one.
Pull said he general. 'pnll:' And
pull they did. until the poor stork
thought he would be all legs.
When thty got tired, the army stop
ped and the stork got up. lie was so
tall he lowered over every one in the
room. In fart ne almost touched the
palace ceiling
OH lovely" sail .he Queen, Now
Tdmrle Dot. go anl get my Ice cream
at once"
But Dimpie Dot could not climb oil
the stnrk's back. Finally. however. the
Stork lifted her up very gently in his
hill AMI set her on his back. Then away
they started. when they came back
the ice cream was as hard as hard
""nld be- and the Queen ate It all up.
"W ell.' said the stork. I'm glad my
legs are long now. although I was al
most scared to death" And so saving
he pulled up one leg and winNed AT
Dimnle Dot. AMI Dinple Dot laughed.

a FTER the disappearance OF Mt
~ Everest, Cosmo Versal made a
1 \ careful measurement OF the depth
OF the water on the peak, which
ne found 10 be forty feet. and then
decided to cruise eastward with the
ARK sailing slowly, and returning after
month or so to see whether by that
time there would be any indication
OF the temperance Of the land which
he anticipated.
NO part of his extraordinary theory
OF the deluge was more revolutionary
or scientifically incredible than this
idea that the continents would grad
ually emerge again, owing to internal
stresses set up in the crust of the
earth.
This would be caused by the tre,
mendous pressure of the water, which
must be ten OF twelve miles deep over
he greatest depressions of the old
Scsan bottoms, and partly by the geo.
DSical movements which he expected
would attend the intrusion of the water
into the subterranean cavities and the
heated magma under volcanic regions
He often debated the question with
the saYants aboard the Ark. and des,
ptte their incredulity he persisted IN
MS opinion. He could not be shak en-

We may have to wait som years
before any considerable area is ex,

be forgotten that what land does frs
appear above the water will lie at the
existing sea level, and will have ar
oceanic climate, suitable for rapid de-
Nelopment OF plants.
