Gas 1t was, Babylon took almost
half the oats at the very start, and
poor little Sammy, his mouth so full
that he couldn't speak.
II decided it was time to make q
noise, just to see what would happen.
So I banged on the floor and then
walked to the back of the barn, won
dering what should do to punish the
pair. A few days before had had to
use a sharp instrument on one Of
Babylon's teeth. and he hadn't liked
that one bit. This gave me an idea.
II went to my own room, got out the
instrument and went back. There was
Sammy in his usual place at the stake,
pretended to be fast asleep. I didn't
do anything to Sammy, but went over
to Babylon.
"He was playing possum too. had
a good deal of trouble in Weakening
him. To punish Babylon, ordered
him to sit down and open his mouth as
wide as possible. Then l made mo-
ton as IL to pass the instrument in
side. At sight of 1t the big fellow shut
his mouth and began to cry and trum-
pet like a great baby. He became so
frightened that he never repeated his
trick with the oats again.
what about Sammy, you ask? Why,
that sly little rascal is more trouble
than all the rest Of the circus ele-
plants put together. He gets loose
just whenever he wants to. But then,
you see, he's the baby Of the family
and that, of course, make differ

ELEPHANT STEALS
FOOD DURING NIGHT
SMALLEST OF HERD FEEDS BIG
ONE AFTER HIS THEFTS.
Cunning OF Animal Discovered by
Trainer az He Watches Sammy
Carefully Free Himself.

Baraboo, Wis-The mystery Of van
fishing elephant food has been solved.
And now Sammy, smallest Of the
elephant herd, Is lin bad" Babylon,
the largest of the tribe, also Is receiv-
ing few kind words during these days,
for it is the big fellow who is credited
with putting thieving ideas into the
little elephants trunk.
The elephants, which belong to a
circus, are housed in a large brick
barn.
elephants have enormous appe-
tites," exclaimed George Denman,
keeper, who-discovered Sammy during
his nightly raids on the feed. or
course, there Is always a great deal Of
feed around-tons upon tons Of hay
in the loft overhead and stacks Of
sacked oats and piles of baled straw
in the corners of the barn.
Sammy, though a tiny chap, would,
I am sure, eat his weight in oats every
day, were he allowed to have his way.
But, though the elephants are Well fed,
they are not allowed to have all the
food that they might like. And now
we come to our story.
1.-THE lights had been put out for the
night and supposed that every one OF
my charges was sound asleep. So
was about to leave the barn when /
heard low, rasping sound coming
from the opposite side Of the big room.
Instead of walking straight across the
ring, softly slipped around back of
the elephants. Peering from behind
a pile of baled straw, l saw Sammy
was carefully lifting his chain stake
out of the ground with his trunk.
1.-The stake came out so easily that
knew the little rascal must have had 1t
out before. AS watched, he slipped
his foot-chain down over the tapering
end of the stake and was free. / was
not afraid that he would do any real
mischief. for l realized that he must
have been loose many times before.
ACROSS the barn, some twenty feet
from where Sammy had been chained,
were a number of sacks filled with

carefully, with his trunk, so 1t would
not rattle or jangle on the floor, he
moved slowly and cautiously until he
was within reaching distance Of the
grain. Then he laid down the chain
and picked up a sack of oats in his
trunk. His journey back to the herd
was made even more cautiously, be-
cause this time he was obliged to drag
the chain and yet have to make no
noise.
AT last he reached the elephant
line and went up to the giant Babylon.
who stood like great, bronze statue.
There Sammy stopped and Babylon,
whom had supposed fast asleep, took
the oats. They got into the bag In a
twinkling and then the feast began.
Sammy filled his mouth and munched
away, for he knew that his big com
panion would get most Of the oats II he
