AS TOLD BY AUNT GERTIE.
CHAPTER T


A long time ago there lived a
merchant in an eastern city who
knew the secret of making money.
He made so much he didn't
know what to do with It. But
one day he died and all his won
drous fortune fell into the hands
of his young and foolish son.
Now, this son didn't know any
thing about the value Of money.
So he just spent it as fast and as
foolishly as he could. He really
threw 1t away.
Though there was much of It,
he finally got rid of all his gold
and silver. He hadn't a thing
left except a lowered dressing
gown and a pair of carpet Slip
pers. His friends turned away
from him and laughed at him be-
cause he had been so silly.
One day two or three of his
friends decided to send him AN
OLD TRUNK with this note at
tackled: Pack up and-be off,"
1t was hint for him to get out
of the neighborhood. He didn't
hihu tut lued at all. In Iact, ne
was rather glad of the sugges-
ton. The only trouble was that
he had not thing to pack.
Il know what I'll do he said
to himself. "I'll get into that
trunk" He was just climbing in
when he noticed a peculiar look
ing lock on the trunk. He pushed
1t just a wee bit and he was al |
most sure the trunk tilted up on |
one end as If 1t were about to fly. |
81 wonder what kind of a trunk |
this is" he said, softly; 81 be-
lieve I'll press the lock close and
see what happens. l haven't any-I
thing to live for now and / don't
care much what happens to me-"
He pressed the lock close and
the trunk bounded up into the
air high into the clouds. Up and
up and up 1t wentl On and on
and on!
Just when he was beginning tol
think he was bound for a sky
