grass felt cool and soft to his feet. kept getting tall sr and thicker. and pretty soon became trees close to- gether that Georgie could scarcely crowd himself between them.
 Suddenly a light appeared in the distance, and Georgie started to go to it. He soon reached place where cave opened big and dark at the entrance. but from its furthest cor ners shone light. It was the light he had seen while in the forest.
 Georgie entered the cave and walked towards the light, but as he did so great roar sounded behind him. He glanced about and beheld a huge white lion between him and the entrance. The huge white lion opened its mouth as if to swallow him whole. Georgie withdrew into crevice between two projecting rocks in the side of the cave. As he did so, he felt something warm, and in another moment a little hand. about the size of his own, reached out and gave him a sharp dagger. Kill the huge white Hon." whispered boys voice in Georgie's ear. And at once Georgie recognized the voice as belonging to his chum. Arthur Hennessy. Georgie did not stop to ask Arthur when he came there. for the huge white lion, roaring till the ground quaked. was trying to break down the great rocks which afforded the two little boys shelter.
 Georgie seized the dagger firmly and thrust at the lion. The lion gave loud roar and fell to the floor of the cave. Georgie sprang out of the crevice and Arthur followed him. Come. run for your life. for the great dragon is back behind that fire in the cave. The lion only saved us from him. So long as the lion re- mained alive. the dragon dared not come forth in front of that fire.''
 So saying, Arthur took Georgies hand and together they ran to the place where Georgie had swung him self from the grape vine. Down the vine they went, hand over hand sailor-like fashion. And pretty soon they were going towards town so fast

TK VERY long time ago-indeed.
 kJE so long ago as the year 1509-
 there was born in the south of S France a little boy who was called Bernard Palissy. His parents were peasants and very poor and the child's earliest recollections were of a home where the strictest~ economy had to be enforced or the inmates would suffer from hunger and cold.
 The elder Palissy was a somewhat talented man, and when little Ber- hard grew to seven or eight years of age. the father began teaching him the trade of painting on glass. As the boy showed great aptitude in this work, his parents encouraged him in it, and he turned many a penny to help tho family along. He loved nature and would sketch by the hour from trees, rocks and wild animals and birds. These drawings were crude affairs, but showed the genius in the little sketcher's fingers.
 When Bernard was in his teens he became eager to see something of the world, and he realized that the home was too poor to feed so many HOut1S, SO out ne started to SeGh his fortune, without so much as a dollar in his pocket.
 For many years he travelled from place to place, stopping long enough now and then to paint glass for some rich lords mansion in return for which he would receive enough money to last. him a few weeks or months, in accordance with the amount of work done. Again he would sketch portraits of peasants in payment for entertainment over a few days. And all the while, he was studying vegetation, and the form ing of crystals in the mountains of Auvergne, which showed he was pos sessed of an unusual mind for a boy. These observations were carefully preserved in a note book for future reference.
 During these years of travel. Der nard began to notice the fine pot tery in art galleries and private resi- | dences where he happened to be fill ing an order- for painted glass, and his artists taste became developed in that line of art. Upon one occasion he was shown an exquisite enameled cup which had been brought from Italy. He examined the bit of ware | closely and admiringly. "What if I

GeoP9ie And The Grope-0ine
A Story For Little Boys.

MlAA OILY, the nursery maid, had N been telling Georgie and
 Katie the story of Jack
 ~ A and the Beanstallk, and af- ter she had put them both to bed and gone downstairs. Georgie lay think ing and thinking. Katie, on the other hand. went right off to the Land of Nod and never thought of Jack and his Beanstalk experiences a single moment after Molly had said good night to her. But Katie was ,- little five-year old girl, and Georgie was seven-year old boy! There was the difference, you see. Girls rarely ever care for Jack, and the Beanstalk story They like stories of dolls and tea parties better
 Well, as l just said. Georgie lay thinking a longtime about the won derful experience of Jack when he made his Beanstalk excursion. And Georgie wondered why he had never had such an exciting time and seen such strange people and lands.
 Of sudden an .dea popped into Georgie's little curly head. He sat up and looked around the room. The moon shcne full in through the win dow, and Georgie got up and dressed without any other light. Then he got a long rope he had used for a harness on his goat and hung one end of it out and down from the>.open window. The other end he tied tight ly about the foot of his ion bed.
 Then, whispering good night to sleeping Katie. he began to let him self down to the ground outside his window. hand over hand, sailor-fash- ion. As he made not the slightest noise he reached the ground without bringing any of the family to the scene. His parents were entertain ing company in the parlor that even ing and Molly had gone off with the housemaid to a moving picture show. So Georgie was safe from dis eovery.
 He left the rope hanging from the window and ran off down the alley towards the outskirts of town. Close to the town ran a beautiful river. and its banks were covered with heavy timber and thick underbrush and vines. Georgie knew where grew Il very big, strong. wild grape vine. and he went directly to It. On this cool, October night the moon made every
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-27

thing almost as light as day. George could see very plainly that the vine ran clear to the top of a giant tree, whose lin bs were now bare of leaves.
 Here's as good vine as bean stalk, said Georgie to himself, catch ing hold f the vine and trying his strength on it. The vine did not move from the tree it entwined. Then Georgle began to climb and climb, hand over hand. At last he found himself away above the tree top. for on reaching the top-most bough, Georgie found. to his joy. that the vine continued to go up and up towards the moon. So on up and up climbed Georgie.
 After a very long time spent in climbing, Georgie anne to a great level place which looked like another earth, for the ground had grass grow ing out of it just as it grew out all over Georgie's home yard. Georgie let go of the vine and -wung himself upon this piece of flat ground. The
