STORY LESSON ON ELEPHANT
Animal Intelligence and Faithfulness
Are Recounted for Study by
Man.

The elephant is said to be the most
intelligent of al, animals; certainly
few four-footed creatures have served
man so ably and faithfully. How
courageous and loyal they can be is
strikingly shown by an incident re-
,,ted by II, Perry Robinson in his
book "Of Distinguished Animals, says
the Youths Companion.
"A native Mahratta prince was en-
gaged in fierce battle with his enc
mics, and the struggle ragged furioIsly
about the standard-bearing elephant.
At the moment when it was ordered
to halt. its mahout was killed. The
Mahratta forces were borne back, but
still the elephant stood firm, and the
standard continued to fly.
Accordingly the soldiers of the
prince, unwilling TO be outdone in
courage by an elephant. rallied, and in
turn drove the enemy back till the
tide of battle swept past the rooted
elephant and left it, towering colossal
among the slain.
The fight was won, and then they
would nave udu ihS SiSpuAhO AAiOf
fro m the battlefield. but 1t waited for
the dead mans voice. For three days
and nights it remained where it had
been told to remain. and neither bribe
nor treat would move it. Finally they
sent TO the home village on the Ner-
budda. a hundred miles away, ana
fetched the mahout's little son,
round-eyed. lisping child. Then, at
last. the hero of that victorious day,
remembering that its master had
sometimes. in brief absence. dele
gated his authority TO the child, con-
fessed its allegiance and, with shat
tered battle harness changing at each
stately stride. swung slowly along the
road behind the boy"
