Modern Fables"
1.-THE StAcker.l


A clerk who earned q trifle
more than he needed to live
comfortably from day to day,
laid away a bit Of it at inter-
walls, thinking that as soon as
a stack was gathered he would
open with 1t q bank account.
His wife demonstrated at the
delay, but the foolish young
clerk sought to make an i'm
preston on some of his friends
who worked in the bank by
opening his account with q
stack. And so no more was
said.
One night the young clerk
called to his side his wife, and
they laid before them and
counted all the wealth they
had amassed. Tomorrow"
said the Clerk. IT will open
with this a bank account.
Surely I need not now be
ashamed, for my friends will
marvel at my wealth."
But during the course Of
the night thieves broke In and
departed with all their saw
ings.
MORAL: Bank often, even
II little.

STORIES WRITTEN BY WIDE
 ANAkEs.
The Tidal Wave. CHAPTER |

In a small fishing town on the coast of Holland lived a. poor widow and six children. The oldest, a girl, usually told stories to the younger children before going to bed.
 It was a cold night The children crept nearer the fire. ''Tell us story, sister. a story of How Peter Stopped the Leak in the Dyke they all cried.
 Sister drew nearer the fire and be- gan:
 boy whose name was Peter. He had a dear friend, an otu man, who lived in little house across the dyke, and one day Peter heard that his. friend was very i'll. He started off with some things for his friend, promising his mother to be home early.
 It was quite dark when Peter left his friends house.
 tMother will be worried if I do not hurry" he said to himself.
 ''Trick-le. triclle. trickle, trick-le!"
 ,, Peter stopped short.
 Trick-le. trick-lei"
 ''Hark! What Is that noise? Is 1t a leak? A leak in the dyke?" Peter scrambled down the side of the dyke. He knew that the smallest hole would grow larger in no time and that if it should get any bigger there would be a flood There was no time to wonder. He alone must hold the water back.
 Peter called, but no one answered. He thrust his arm into the hole. The water was cold. but he did not draw back. How long he lay there no one knew. or ever will Finally he fell asleep. He dreamed he saw his mother and brothers and sisters. As he slept two workmcn passed by and determined to wake him.
 What are you doing here, boy ?" asked one of the men,
 I'm holding the water back" replied Peter.
 Then the men carried Peter into the city amid cheers, and he lived happily ever after.
 Now all you chickens, big and lit- tie, trot to bed as quick as you can, and a god night to you all," said the sister. kissing each one.

Somehow the wind seemed to say: Come out, @ comel" Jan crept out of bed and put on his clothes He seemed guided by some unseen power which said: The dykesi The dykes!"
 Jan obeyed. unlocked the door. and ran to the dykes. Look far out. far out to sea- the voice said. @ Jan looked and saw a dark line, com l Ing. nearer every minute. It was the tidal wave!
 Tho tidal wave!" said the voice. Jan ran with all his might through the town. shouting: The tidal wave is upon us! Make haste to the noun. l tainl"
 The people rushed to the mountain | like sheep. When they had reached the summit they turned toward theiI homes. There was a roar and the | dwellings, once happy homes, were but rubbish floating upon the mighty deep Then the people turned and fell or their knees before the boy who had saved them from a watery grave.
