For Our Boy and Girl Readers
THE EMPEROR AND THE FIGS.
Story of How the King Rewarded the
Old Man.

Old Man.
An emperor. seeing an old man plant
ing a big tree. asked why he was doing
this. The man replied that he might
live 10 eat of the fruit, but even If he
did not his son would enjoy the figs.
Well" said the emperor. IF you do
live to eat of the fruit of this tree l
pray you let me know Of it,"
The man promised to do So. and.
sure enough. his life was prolonged
until the tree grew and bore fruit,
which the Old man ate.
Packing some of the finest of the
figs in a basket, he set out for the
palace and when he explained his err
rand was shown by the guards into
the emperor's presence.
The emperor was so pleased that he
accepted the gift of the figs and or
dered the old mans basket TO be filed
with gold.
Now, next door to this old man there
lived a woman who was very covetous,
and. seeing his good fortune. she pack
ed some figs into a basket and per-
suaded her husband to take them to
the emperor In the hope OF receiving
In return a basket full of gold.
But the emperor. ON learning the
mans errand. ordered him to stand in
the courtyard and had him pelted with
the figs. When the nan arrived home
and told his wife all that had taken
place she consoled him by saying:
"Ah. well! You may be thankful
they were figs and not hard cocoanuts."

SttT WUcU she COMES, % I
you?" said Linden as he
bent to kiss his mother. 'lf
she looks anything like Billy she
should have gray eyes and a sort of
quiet brown hair-you know the kind l
mean"
"Of course I'll be good to her, you
foolish boy" she laughed. Don't you
little child about the house?'
Linden blushed. Ii was one of his
mothers greatest regrets that he
had married, but he was absurdly
bashful, and he hated the thought.
For that reason he had welcomed the
suggestion that he should lend his
mother to Billy Corson's motherless
little sister. 1t would help her to for
get his own refusal to wed.
There had been great preparations
made since the letter of acceptance
had been sent. Linden had almost
bankrupted himself in. the purchase Of
toys. and the little room where as a
child he had played was overlooking
with all sorts of dolls and things.
Daisy was to come on the noon train
in the care of the conductor, and Bob
by Linden could scarcely wait until he
could get his most pressing affairs
| Strengthened out before he rushed off
to the station to take the train back
home.
On the way he stopped to pick up a
few more toys. and 1t was with his
arms loaded down that he hurried
through the shady street and into his
own gate. Then he gave a gasp. On
/ the porch sat a girl in summary cos
tune talking to his mother. 1t could
not be the nurse. She was far too
well dressed for a nurse. 1t must be
one Of the local girls calling. He
thought of the toy store package which
had come undone and from which n
dolls legs waved pinkly and unre-
strained. and the Precipitation beaded
his forehead.
He had always tried to appear digni-
fed before the girls. 1t kept them ut
IA distance. But how on earth could
he look dignified with those internal
toys dangling beneath his elbow?
The two women rose as he assembled
the steps. and Mrs. Linden presented
the other.
Miss Corson.'' he echoed b,ankly.
Dick always spoke OF me as his
little sister," she said as she came
forward. Il hope you are not disap-
pointed"
Disappointed that he should be the
companion of such a glorious girl?
Bob chuekled. and in the saving grace
| of humor he lost his bashfu ness.
lyon are most welcome he laughed
as his hand closed Owe hers. since
you are Daisy Corson these are for
YOU" And he waved those pink abom-
nations under her eyes wi, h an audac-
ity that surprised himself.
1t broke the ice all around. and in
the little interval before dinner they
chatted as three old friends. Since she
was to be a permanent guest there was
| no sense in being afraid of her. so Bob
| exerted himself to make her feel at

NoRWAY's AMAZING ARMY.
A Fascinating Sight to Watch Soldiers
Travelling on Skis.

f@"~'bh ~" 9Ef@
One of the most fascinating military
sights in the world is TO watch Nor
wegian infantry. mounted on skis,
travelling and maneuvering. Even with
rifle and full marching kit on his back.
a Norwegian soldier. when equipped
with his snowshoes. can travel at thir-
even on level ground he can cover from
fifteen to twenty miles an hour. The
skis used by the Norwegian soldiers
consist of fiat pieces of wood from
eight to twelve feet long and from -four
and one-half to six inches broad. The
Norwegian in~fantryman is trained
from childhood in the use of skis. and
his skill Is such that he can glide in
and out of the trees without a crackle
to betray his whereabouts. says Tit
Bits.
When marching orders are sounded
the leader swings out and keeps mp a
hot pace. Once in sight of a supposed
enemy a pile of snow is quickly scoop
ed up. and. ensconced behind this sim
ole but effective protection. the ski man
can take pot shots at the foe.
During some recent In
which 100000 infantrymen participated
the value of skis as an adjunct in war
fare was clearly demonstrated. Over
roads piled so high with snow that cav
airy would have been unable to make
any progress whatever the infantry.
mounted on their skis. covered from
twenty to thirty miles an hour without
missap of any kind. OF course it
would be practically impossible in most
instances for the artillery with their
heavy guns to follow the infantry over
the 10Y clad roads and passes. but
for skirmishing and scouting ski run
ming soldiers are extremely valuable.
