El.oh.nt. and Their Youno.

Very little is known of the breeding
habits of elephants or their manner
of caring for their young. A gentle
man whom we became very well ac-
quainted while on the Mount kenia
trip, was not professional elephant
hunter, nevertheless he had killed sew
eral elephants on Kilimanjaro. Once
by mistake he shot and wounded q
COW elephant that ran some distance
before falling. On oyertaking her he
found that she had fallen in kneel-
ing position. A little calf was pinned
under her knee by leg that was driv-
en- deep into the soft earth. A close
examination OF the route ovAr which
the old elephant had passed failed to
reveal any of the little ones tracks.
This, together with the fact that the
calf was not hitherto seen and the Pc
culiar manner in which 1t lay. might
be taken as proof that the mother was
carrying 1t in her trunk. or perhaps
resting 1t on her tusks, with her trunk
holding 1t in position.-Outing.

On Josie's face there was q look OF
admiration which was balm TO Broad

We're just waiting for Pembroke"
said Wallace
Pembroke! Oh. yes: some OF the
men told me that he IS in town.
What's he coming here for?"
ITO try TO give us a whole lot Of
money" Wallace answered. But we're
not going to take it. He grinned up
at Broadway. We don't need It. do

Jackson looked at him with mourn

had left behind in New York city.

Broadway, who had listened to the
brief but tragical recital with expand.

away from the too fatal niece OF office
furniture. eyed it with suspicion and
distaste. That's the last time I'll sit
there" he declared.
But Judge Spotswood had not seen
tue byplay and did not hear the youth s
resolve. He was launched on reminis-
cence. Every man in the plant loved
the old gentleman. They all feel
mighty bad. Just think-he was alive
72 hours ago, and now the whole
towns in mourning"
1t was at this juncture that Higgins
H new and happy Higgins, entered
cap in hand, respectfully. He was
smiling genially. Excuse me, Mr.
Jones, the men want to know II you
nave any objection to their celebrat
ing tonight"
He bowed respectfully to Josie, who
entered at that moment
They're thinking of having a torch
Light parade and fireworks In honor
OF your taking up things at the works
Is 1t all right?"
The judge beamed happily. What
could be more significant of the new
day which had dawned on Jonesville
than this speech from Higgins, erst-
while the dissatisfied, the complaincr?
That's a bully ideal" he exclaimed
enthusiastically.
Wallace and Jackson looked at one

Eorkmen in the shops and which now
escaped the fesr. there In the once.

You mean the Empire Advertising
company is behind this business?"
The Empire Advertising company. 1t
must be remembered. was the largest
in the world.
Wallace had not thought Of that. He
had not meant to say the Empire was
actually behind Jones' Pepsin gum.
But now that Pembroke had suggested
| it, it seemed to him to be good idea
and. without taking into consideration
the important fact that his father, not
himself. was president OF the Empire
Advertising company, he took the
plunge.

The Judge grinned at him in com

just a little better-if they could feel
any better. He'll spread the news in
jiffy."
We'll, what did you think OF it,"
Wallace asked of Jackson. How
about it. now that it's all over?'
Broadway was little dubious. IT'S
a good plot, but how are we going to
play it," he inquired, reverting to the
atrical slang Of that street he had
loved and lost so much on.

tinued in a tone OF triumph. I'VE

take your own medicine. Mr.. Pembroke.
We're going to make you compete with

We're going to post and plaster from

We're going to snow you under. that's

Broadway was as proud OF Wallace
as he had been of himself. What do
you think of that" he asked the
startled Pembroke.
Pembroke smiled. He had a well
trained face. He also was an egotist,
both for himself and for his company.
