"where?" cried Puss, looking
out of the portfolio at the excited
weathercoez and then down to
the deck. Before he reeeiyed q
reply Captain Noah and his sons
appeared, each armed with pail
The IRE evidently was at the for
ward end OF the Ark, for Moan and
his crew ran in that direction II
took Puss but a few minutes 70
dress, and on reaching the deck ne
met Mr. Jonah, who said;
This Is q poor way to put out
ire,D as he tossed the water from
his pail down the hatchway, from
which was rising a thick cloud OF
smoke. I'VE need a hose and
pump"
Hurry UP. JONAH" commanded
Captain Noah. This IRE is getting
too much OF a Roadway to suit me!
I'm afraid the animals will get
roasted II we don't put it out pref
ty soon!" As he finished speaking
the elephant rushed on deck and.
leaning over the side OF the Ark
hIled his trunk with water, which
he Immediately squirted over him
self. Mrs. Elephant, who arrived AZ
this moment, did likewise.
II was never SO warm before,
she remarked, mot even in India

SCARED for life"
BY this time the deck was crowd

were frightened nearly to death
others were choking with the
smoke. while others were filling the
air with noises OF all kinds. II was

Those animals who could climb
were soon scrambling to the roof
of the Ark, where they sat on or
clung desperately to the ridgepole.
The deck grew hotter and hotter,
and. II was necessary for everyone
to dance about in order to keep his
feet from blistering.

claimed Captain Noah, now realiz-
ing the seriousness OF the situa-
ton, "are we to be burned at sea?

Ham.
Get busy" said Captain Noah to
the elephants, your trunks are
nearly as good as hose. Why don't
you help us?"
What do you say, Ella?" said the
Elephant. "if we don't we may
have TO swim later" without an
swering, she went forward and
commenced drawing up the salt
water in her trunk and then send
ing it in a swift stream down into
the hold. The fire. however, was
gaining fast. and in spite of the
efforts of the elephants and the
crew the danger increased to an
alarming. extent. When flames
leaped forth and crawled over the
deck the animals howled and
rushed to the stern of the Ark,
which raised the bow high in the
air, and thus added to the danger.

CONSERVING THE INTEREST

There are now many people in
this country who have purchased
Liberty bonds and a movement is
on foot all over the nation to in.
duce bond holders Of every kind
to invest their bond interest cou~
pons in war savings stamps and in
this way make the interest earn
interest. No better way of increas
ing interest rates could be devils
ed, and already. the suggestion
has been acted upon by the hold
ers Of the first Liberty bonds and
doubtless thousands of the sub
scribers to the second and third
loans will follow suit. Why not ?
by so doing the investor not only
helps himself, but helps his gov
eminent. The amount Of bond
interest to each individual is small,
but the aggregate for the country
is enormous, and if the idea is
generally carried out a tremend.
GUS help will be given the govern.
ment at little or no inconvenience
to the investor, while the latter
will profit almost twofold by the
the transaction.
